Miss Carrie Swain, the sister of Mr..
Ignaatz Wisler, of this city, at last got sick
of wasting her ability in trying to produce
the dreary stuff which made up the Morn
ing Glory and her other plays of that ilk.
She engaged one of the leading play
wrights to write drama for her. The
effort was called Jack in the Box. Miss
Swain has made an enormous hit with the
piece in Philadelphia. The play is a good
vehicle for her specialties.
Mr.. Arthur Mcknight, of Naiad Queen
fame, is now producing the famous
little operetta in Detroit to packed
houses, having taught the choruses to
the children during the past few weeks.
Mcknight seems to know how to strike
school boards and participate in the right
spot every time. When he came to this
city he commenced teaching the children
their parts in the Naiad Queen together
with few minutes drill on elementary
sounds. This he called full course in
elocution and the school board readily
granted the children permission to attend it.
When he had taught the children their parts
in the opera their parents were allowed to
buy the costumes from Mcknight at cost
of from SIS to $40, and some double that
sum. They were further allowed to come
to the performances every night provided
they bought tickets at the box Office The
children were further allowed the inestima-
BILE privilege and priceless honor of ap-
pearing at great benefit performance ten

citizens of the city.
Several of the young ladies who fig red

them have not recovered from it yet.

Mr.. W. II. PretZmaE Dan. Minahan, c.
c. Funk and J. B. North went up to Find
lay recently, to see the great Ohio gasopo-
lis. Mr.. Pretzman said in regard to the
present state of the industry:
The latest well discovered is one of the
largest in the country. The gas comes with
a terrific rush from pipe about as thick as
a stoye-pipe. At night the gas streams out
of the pipe in a column with dense
greyish dark appearance. At a dis
tance of three feet from the
mouth of the pipe it burst into blue fame
This flame flares up to great height, often
springing up to the top of the derrick-a
distance of IS feet 1t is a magnificent
sight at night, aud the noise is simply deaf
ening One man showed me his well which
is at present lighting and heating his large
foundry as well as supplying fuel to 300
stoves, and fuel for the power of another
foundry. The curious part of it is that the
well contains two distinct veins. one struck
at very much lower peint than the other
and draining different veins of gas. Two
pipes carry the gas from these respective
veins to the place where the gas is used.
Besides this double gas vein the well also
yields good flow of oil, and also a valua- J
Bile supply of tar"

great scientific collection was made by Prof.

Cincinnati with Prof. Geiger to examine it.
The Ohio Geological Reports contain many

The Driscol tragedy has attracted wide
| attention throughout the state. The news
spread with marvellous rapidity Tuesday
morning, and as early as eight a. m. rumors
OF the affair were generally current through
out the city. The associated press sent out
bulletin to the afternoon papers through
out the country, and early in the afternoon
the Evening Post newsboys were making
the air on the streets of Cincinnati ring with
the cry, "All about the murder at Spring
field" mingled with the cry of IAN about
the death of General Hancock" The story

himself, will be recorded as among the
most remarkable cases of presentiment on

field which more completely and undivided

Driseo. had some remarkable gifts Of mind.
As comedian and mimic he possessed
true genius. Had he devoted himself
professionally to the stage, he would
have achieved national reputation. Who,
that witnessed them, can ever forget his
impersonations of queer characters of any
nationality, or his burlesque sketches in the
Five-and-FOrty Blackbirds? ? His humor
was of the quiet, quaint kind that was ir-
resistible. Who that saw him as the prin-
cipal end man and leading attraction of the
Five-and-Forty Blaekbird entertainment,
convulsing the great audience with his
quaint humor, and raising the roof when
he calmly and deliberately stood on his

There is big discussion going on In sew
eral of the Springfield churches and in many
circles of Springfield society, as to whether
Christian can play progressive euchre and
retain clear conscience. Since this fasci-
mating game was introduced in Springfield,
it has become wonderfully popular, and
hardly night has passed during the win
ter, that some one has not given progress
sive euchre party. Several of the Spring
field pastors have set squarely down on the
game, and have frankly informed his flock
that they cannot play euehre and retain a
clear record of Christian duties. In one
church the pastor is stirring up the mem-
bers of his congregation in regard to dane
ing and theater-going, and has taken so firm
stand on the subject that considerable
discussion is being indulged IN by the cor
gregation on the pastors action.
