ground near Titusvllle, and called the
Boyd well, and it settled down to business
at once. The first day it poured out oil
at the rate of sixty barrels an hour and is
still yielding 1000 barrels a day. And
this is small field of one hundred acres,

CHICAGO, Jan. 3--The Railway Age says:
1.-THE number Of miles of new railway cor
structed in the United States DIGGING tina
year 1894 would have been pronounced ex-
tiao'dinary if they had been built six years
ago, and yet it is small compared with any
year since rS7S. Our returns, very care
fully collected from official sources, show
the total Of new main line track added dur
ing tho year to have been little under 1000
miles, which figure may possibly be
reached by final returns This is about 8 00O
miles less than that laid in 1888, and about
1900 miles less than the total reached in the
wonderful year 1892. IT is also much less
than that of the years 1879, so, and 81, hut,
on the other hand, it far exceeds the
work of 1873, rs, II, and rs. Considering
the general condition Of the country, the new
mileage added in the last year was enough;
and yet, with the exception of few parallel
and unnecessary lines, it cannot be said that
| railway builling has been overione In gen
eral the roads built were needed for the de
velopment OF the regions through which
| they enter, and there is room for vast
amount more of new constructed Of this

New YORK World: Senator Lamar is
in his sixtieth year There is very little
in his general appearance to indicate ad-
vanced age or physical weakness. So
long as he takes care of himself and lives
quietly he is apparently as well as any
one need be. But under the strain of
deep emotion or great effort he suddenly
gives way. This has been shown in one
or two notable instances in the senate
when under the exciting influences of
a passionate controversy or An exciting
debate he has sank voiceless, half faintin 9
into his chair, overcome and broken
down. But as a counsellor he is one of
the wisest and most far seeing, and is
more often consulted by public men thsn
any other one man. He is so dispassion~
ate in his advice that his counsel has
often been sought by republican states
men. 1t is not generally known that he
is one of the senators with whom Mr.
