Wanted a Corner ON "ne', Land.

BELLAIRE, Ohio, June l0.-It leaked out
Monday, through the filing of nearly 100
land leases at St Clairsville, that big oil
strike was made at the Armstrong mills gas
well, ten miles south of this city, about q
week ago. The well is said to have flowed
heavily, bnt was at once plugged up, the
derrick house boarded up, and the place to
all appearances abandoned. The proprie-
tors, swearing their employees to SO crecy, at
once began to lease land right and left, and
the filing of these documents gave the thing
away. The Bethel well is also reported to
be in the sand and flowing. There is great
excitement in the neighborhood and another

LIVINGSTON, KY, June 10. "A thrilling
and blood-curdling tragedy occurred at
Berea, KY. Monday. The trouble was be-
tween William Harris and Mitchell Preston,
James Johnston and John T. Disney. Harris
and Johnston were both instantly killed,
and Preston received wounds that will
probably prove fatal. The origin of the
difficulty, it seems, was that Johnston and
Harris were both selling whisky con
trary to the local option law, Harris acting
as general agent on the sly of some Illicit
distillery in Kentucky, and, through some
misunderstanding etween the two. they
were unable to make settlement between
themselves, and by mutual agreement got
the matter taken before the Judge at Rich
mond. Preston was witness i'm behalf of
Harris, and Johnston in his own behalf. The
testimony of the two did not corroborate by
far, Preston becoming very badly entangled
by the attorneys Of Johnston. The suit was
decided in favor of the latter
After the trial Johnston came home Har-
ris and Preston also returned TO Berea and
drank heavily until Sunday morning, when
they went to the house of Johnston and
called for him, but he was not at home.
Mrs. Johnston communicated the fact TO her
husband that he was being searched for by
his two enemies with murderous intent, so
he did not return home Harris and Pres
ton continued TO watch the house for
him all day. Mrs. Johnston went
to railroad tunnel, whers Johnston was
concealed, and pleaded with him not to re-
turn to the house, saying the men would
murder him, but he persisted on going,
leaving his wife. When about half way be.
tween the tunnel and the house he met Har.
ris and Preston. Harris at once asked him
what be meant by swearing those lies Satur-
day. Johnston told him he swore nothing
more or less than the truth. At this decla.
ration Harris drew his revolver, but John
ston. being too quick for him
drew his and fired at him, the shot taking
effect just behind the left ear, killing him
instantly. In the meantime Preston com
menced to fire at Johnston, one shot strik.
ing him centrally in the forehead, penetrat-
ing the brain, killing him almost instantly.
John 7. Disney, who was near Johnston al
the time the fatal shot was fired by Preston
fired several shots at Preston, one of which
took effect in Preston's thigh. The partis:
were considered lawless and desperate men

ENGLISH CABINET CRISIS.

The Gladstone cabinet are unable to
agree concerning measurers for the coer-
cion OF Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dixie, it is said, have resolved to
resign. They cannot accede to the de
mands of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
in the direction of corrective measures.
Mr.. Gladstone. as usual, proposes to com
promise, and bcgs his colleagues not to
disrupt the cabinet in the face 81 gems
eral election. The compromise or temp
Orsry makeshift which Mr.. Glad
stone, for the sake of peace in his
official family, offers is to limit the
operation of the Crimes act to one year.
This legislation by the month or year does
not seem to be the perfection of States
manship, but then statesmen like poli.i-
clans must sometimes resort to temporary
expedients to keep themselves in power
II is believed that not only the Parnell
members of Parliament from Ireland, but
Irish members from London, Liverpool
and other English constituencies, will
vote on the next test for change of min
istry. An organ of Mr.. Parnell says thai
even the English may yet see that theil
misgoverpment of Ireland is Improbable
as well as Infamous" We on this side Of
the water are most impressed with the
fact that their government has been un
successful. Statesmanship does not fail
it succeeds The Irish problem seems far
ther from solution today than when Mr.
Gladstone came into power We shall
not say that Parnell has made Ireland 6
nation, to adopt the not far seeing minis
ter's language with respect to Jefferson
Davis, but we can say that Irish nation
ality has much better reasons for its ex.
istence than the confederacy of Davis
had. why don't you let the south go9'
was the question which every English
man asked from 1851 to 1866. "Why
don't you let Ireland go?" is the question
which with stronger reason might now b,
asked every Englishman.
