The Central Oil Well.

The Central Oil COmpany's No. l well,
which filled up with oil Saturday, made
several flows yesterday, the drill having
penetrated the sand about fifteen feet.
The Shrontz well is no good. The drill
has penetrated clear through the fifty foot
sand into the slate, the only fluid obtained
being salt water. 1t is probable the hole
will be abandoned.

TwO DIFFERENT KINDS

of institutions in the country. The
statesmen of the South early saw that the
honest labor of the North would outstrip
their slave labor, and, at Once commenced
the use offorce by not allowing the adj
mission of a free Northern State without
the admission of a Slave State so that the
balance of power might be preserved,
After this failed to keep the South even
with the North in power, they brought
out the doctrine of State Rights or Sc
~ceSsiOn, which teaches that the Federation
of the United States was n mere compact
among the States which might be broken
at will by any of them. This brought

different rates of wages are placed in a
n~eculiar position. One mill must shut
mn or the other must cut its wages. With
free trade here our men must work for the
same wages as similar workmen i N foreign
countries. Under free trade rule our coal
STAYED in the mines, the wheels OF the
mills rusted. Democrats drew their SAL
aries and preached free trade and seces,
sion. The Republican party came in and
HAD SOME SENSE
and commenced the development of these
great shipping industries. Before that
time. western corn sold for 8 and 10 cents
per bushel and the farmers burnt the most
oft for fuel because it could not be mark
eted. When Abraham Lincoln called for
his great army we could not clothe them,
and our soldiers had to wear foreign shoddy
which they were ashamed of, and had to
use Belgian muskets, more. dangerous at
the butt than the muzzle." The governor
described his first battle near Cincinnati,
and before he commenced stated that he
had wished since the rebels had taken 1t
and Dan Dolphin into the bargain. dol
min was the election clerk in Cincinnati
in 's5, and is accused Of fraud by the ke-
publicans. Said he: We are now out OF
bower, and we have only stepped out
to spit ON our hands. Some day Grover
will come back from a fishing excursion
and
l Us IN.
He will find he had caught a sucker. Free
trade originated in the South, and as 1t has
ALWAYS been fashionable for Northern
Democrats to sneeze when Southern Dem
ocrats took snuff, it has spread among
Democrats all over the country and Is
their doctrine. We have more money in
vested in manufacturing establishments IN
Ohio than the entire eleven seeding
States. In Tennessee and Alabama manu-
featuring is becoming very popular, and,
at the same time, they are showing a de-
sire to come over to the Republican pro-
tective party, and when ALI and Rob Tay-
lor, of Tennessee, get through their squab-
ling, Tennessee will probably have
expressed herself in favor of protection"
The Governor here branched of onto
Ohio politics, and made spirited reference
to some cases of mismanagement he claims
to have discovered in the Democratic ruling
of the State Pe~nitentiary.
The crowd was estimated from $500 to
1900, and was very appreciative, and IN
cluded a large number Of Democrats. Col.
Poorman was present, and at the cOnclus-
ion of the Governors speech, made 4 few
remarks, in which he omitted TO make
any reference TO Col. Taylor.

AN ECONOMIC REFORM
In the system OF Taxation on Foreign and
National Merchandise.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 26.
An important economic reform was pro-
claimed here today. A movement has been
going on for some for putting an end to the
system of taxation, whereby States have col
lected duties on foreign and national mer-
chandse in transit through their respective
territories-a system which has been pro-
nounced by railway managers as more harm
tul to the development of internal commerce
of the country than any other that could have
been devised In May, a constitutional
amendment was submitted to the States for
bidding an imposition of transit duties, i'm
port duties on products of other States and
on the expectation of merchandise, either
manufactured or products of the soil. The
amendment also forbids the States to assign
special routes for conveyance of goods of ma
tive origin, as heretofore done; also to put
higher import duty on foreign goods than
fixed by the federal law 1t is expected the
government will fix uniform tax of 5 per
cent. ad valorem. This amendment, having
been carried by majority of the States, has
It ceived the sanction of both chambers of
Congress and was today proclaimed in the
usual form, being read at various points and
copies of it posted Oh walls.

MORE PARTICULARS
Concerning VIM. Reed, the Embezzling
Treasurer of Boston.

BosToS, Nov. 26.
1t has been discovered that VIM. Reed, the
late treasurer of the So. Boston Horse Rail
road Co., whose is now under arrest for EN-
bezzling over Sl00, ,000 has also added forge
ry to his crime, the signatures of President
Hersey to certain certificates of overissued
stock being pronounced forgery by that gen.
tleman. 1t has hitherto been believed that
most of the stock over issued by Reed was
issued during the lste President Crosby's ad-
ministration, and the fraud was possible by
Crosby's habit of singing certificates in
blank. 1t is now stated however that large
proportion of the certificates outstanding and
which are mostly held by brokers as collateral
for margins on stocks, bear President Her
sey's signature. Hersev states for all the GER
tficates signed by himself, he has duplicate
check which will enable him to identify every
certificate he has issued. The directors
have not yet decided whether to prosecute
Reed for forgery or not, but they probably
will hold meeting within a week, when a
course of action will be mapped out.
1t is learned that the stock of the Mexican
Telephone Co., of which Reed is treaeurer,
has been over issued to the amount of $500
shares. Although the par value OF the stock
is $50 share, it is now quoted at $3.50, go
that the loss by over issue will fall little
short of $4,000. To Offset this the Girec-
tors state that the company was indebted to
Reed for money advanced for contribution
and the actual loss to the company will not
be over $500 or $1,000.

WuKEsBARRE. Pa. Nov. o6.


At 8 80 A. M. an explosion of gas occurred
in Conyngham shaft, this morning, shortly
after the miners and laborers had entered and
IT is said that between twenty ami thirty of
them were burned aud seriously injured.
None are reported to have been killed. The
men are still in the PIT but they will be re-
moved as soon as possible. The shaft Is
owned and operated by the Delaware & Hud-
son Co. ana " as known TO contain cosidera-
bic gas.
Ii is now known that the explosion occurred
in shanty at the foot of the shaft which was
occupied by the fire boss. No work was done
yesterday and consequently there was larger
quantity OF gas thsn usual in the shaft The
men are now being removed from the pit and
taken TO their hcmes or to the hospital in am
balances and wagons. Ii is thought that all
of them will recover.
Another despatch says ten or twelve will
die and that many others will be SCARED or
MANNED for life. The explosion was caused
by Cornelius Boyle, mine iaborer, who step
ped into worked out chamber which was
filled with gas, with lighted lamp upon his
hat. Boyle will die. Many mules were killed
or wounded and the damage to the inside
workings of the shaft is great The fire
bosses, Williams and Evans, are reported TO
be fatally burned.
Later.-The explosion at Conyngham shaft
this morning was the mos, serious that has
occurred in the anthracite coal fields this
year. 1t is now definitely known that ~ mt
are severely burned and others slightly in
jured. Twelve of the men will die of the in
iuries. The scene at the colliery while the
injured men were being taken from the shaft
was terrible. crowd of several hundred
had gathered at the mouth of the shaft,
among them the wives, mothers and daughters
of the injured men. As the injured were
taken out of the pit they were brought to the
engine house and the women made desperate
efforts to gain entrance. Their entreaties
and frantic demonstrations of grief were
hearth ding but they were sternly kept out
side II e building, while the blackened,
scorX and bleeding victims of the disaster
were wrapped in blankets soaked in oil. The
floor of the engine house was covered with
writhng human forms, so dis6gured by
fire as to be unrecognizable. As fast as pos
sible they were taken to the hospital or their
homes, and so rapidly was the work done that
BY 8 o'clock every one had been taken out
and carried away.
The recovery of the following is believed to
be hopeless:
Hougn Sweeny, aged 27, laborer. unmar
