A THOUSAND BARRELS
nus FRoM WE wHEELINe We'll
on the Washington Fair Grounds by the
Pipe Limo Yesterday = Everybody here
Talking OIl-Ths well not ut Its Best
yet Transfers Of Stock Reported.

The good luck of the Wheeling Oil
Company in its well on the Washington
Fair Grounds was the leading topic oil
conversation yesterday about town. Early
in the day dispatch was received saying;
Fair Grounds we'll doing 70 barrels an
hour. Tanksge not sufficient,
This exceeded the expectations oil the
stockholders, They werO considered
little wild on Wednesday when they
talked Of thousand barrels day. This
was doing over 1900 barrels day. and it
was learned later in the day that the drill
had not gone ss deep as II was expected
to, and that 1t was sure thing that deeper
drilling would increase the flow.
Talk OF transfers OF stock were heard on
all sides yesterday, 1t was said that a
stakeholder was anxious TO sell his stock
The night before for $l25. II was also said
that the company had been offered $500
per share for the entire Capital-$lO0,0OO
cash, for its property, Another report
wss that several shares had been trans
ieTred at sees. None oil these reports
were confirmed. No transfers have been
recorded on the CompAny's books II the
last three weeks, About the middle Of
LAST month one or two stockholders he'
came discouraged and sold out ut a dis
count.
II. l.. Rose, Mr., Dobbins, Hon. N, b
Scott, George Wise, the Messra. Motietl
and several other gentlemen interested
and few ladies went out yesterday, Mr.
Rose remained, but the others came home
last evening, They brought word thai
The well was steadily doing its 70 barrels
an hour and that the two $50 barrel tanks
had been emptied twice, making LOOK
barrels that had been pumped oil by the
nine line, When 1t was learned that the
tankagG was insufficient the drill was
slopped, and all the other wells shut of
OF the pipe line, which went to pumping
cut OF the Wheeling Company's tanks
alone. Work was commenced ear y yes
terday erecting six hundred barrel tank
at the well, Probably two OF these will
be necessary. =,
Secretary DobbIns had the pipe line
certificates for three Of the tanks emptied
Yesterday, $50 barrels in all, in his packet
whcn-ha came down last night. AT
usual, crowd gathered on the corner OIL
Ohapiine and Sixteenth streets to meet
the gentleman coming In from Washing
ton, aud they examined tho certificates
with good deal OF curiosity. To most
Of them they were q curiosity.
The well, the gentlemen who came In
said, was only IN tho sand about ten feet
One hit run Yesterday morning sent the
production up to seventy barrels, and fol
short time the oil was wasted. AT
soon as the tankage Ia sufficient to take
care Of larger flow, drilling will BIO re
sumed,

Mr.. Samuel Laughlin, the nail manu-.
iacturer, is in Pittsburgh, and during a
conversation with a Commercial Gazette re.
porter, he said: "There Is peace in the
nail industry at present, though the mills
are running at various prices. l predict,
however, that q uniform wage scale will
be adopted by all in o short time. The
Amalgamated Association Is sure to &C.
complish that. Tho nail trade is looking
quite bright. The regular meeting Of the
manufacturers will be held next week,

pany would accept the condition requiring
It to furnish gas after that time at hall

The Board Of Commissioners also grant
ed the company the right to lay Its pipes

Amidst the excitement in the home
field one will rarely hear the TaylOrstown
peyser mentioned nowadays but 1t still &C.
Cupies prominent place In the minds OF
those who are watChful OF developments
in Washington county. There is gener.
al disposition 10 regard 1t az q producer Of
50 small a Caliber as 10 be improbable
hut tho actions Of the owners belio this.
While It Ia readily admitted that they ex.
pected u 800 or 600 barrel well and were
disappointed, 1t cannot be conceded
that they look upon 1t as failure. 1t was
necessary to have second 600 barrel tank
erected by Monday night after the well
had produced in the first one just seven
days. Thisis very significant fact mas.
much as the well has been discounted and
the owners could not hope to bluff the
market again. Again 1t Is stated that the
pipe for the pipe line to the receiving
tanks on the Hall farm has been ordered
and Is expected every day, Well inform.
ed persons claim that the daily produC.
ton is more than 80 barrels which figure
in the ordinary estimate.

Yesterday q boy was playing about a
building which workmen were engaged in
erecting in the Eighth ward. There was
a large pile Of fresh lime on the ground
where Il had Just been unloaded from a
wagon, and the boy undertook to tunnel
through this with Rshovel. He dug about
four feet through, and then got tired and
gave up the work. Ho crawled in the
hole, feet frat, fortunately, and was lying
there with only his head out, when the
lime Oayed in on him. The workmen al
once'relessed him, but as It was the dust
from the lime nearly Rtrangled him. Had
the hole been deep enough TO cover his
whole length, he would have died terri
hla death.

the company to lay its pipes across Major

HE KNEW THE BOY.

Once upon a time there was
school master who was placed over
new school. His pride was aroused,
and he wanted to make that just the
very best school that ever was. He
pondered over 1t a good while, and
then he concluded that the best way
to get at his object was to rouse a
spirit of self-respect and self-im-
provement in the pupils. So one
day he talked to them quite earnest
ly, and finally he said, thinking he
had made the subject very plain to
them all: ''Now boys, | believe
there's just one way to do this thing.
If each one of you will make up his
mind to mend one boy of his faults,
the whole school will be improved
in a very short time" ''All right,
slr," spoke up little Jimmy Eaton,
who had been very much interested
in the discussion "pll mend Jack
Wyeth.'' The whole school laughed
aloud, for it seemed funny that the
only boy who had not understood
what the teacher meant was the one
to be so eager to answer. But, boys,
1 wonder how many of you, if'your
name had been Jimmy Eaton would
have made up your mind to mend
Jimmy Eaton instead of Jack Wyeth.
1t is so easy to try to mend other
folks, and so much pleasanter to
note other peoples faults instead of
our own. If you see faults in your
schoolmates, don't talk about it OF
them, but just say TO yourself, "That
looks pretty bad in Jack. | wonder
if l do anything like that?'' If on
self determination you find that you
do, just struggle your best to mend
it. Or if you find you haven't that
particular fault, pick out some other
from your own, and the chances are
ten to one that by the time you have
corrected yours he will have correct
ed his, especially if he notices you
trying to break yourself of the habit
whatever it may be.-Golden Days.

NIGHT LIFE OF A COW
BOY.

The heavy wagon stands two or
three rods from the stream, and be-
tween it and the bank are scattered
the sleeping men, each bed wrapped
in a white tarpaulin. Saddled horses
are picketed near the wagon, and
when they hear the bell horse move
with the grazing remoda they straigh-
ten the long ropes that lie snakellke
among the buffalo grass and cactus
and neigh to their partners in the
distant cavvy, for almost every horse
has partner, usually in the same
string he works in. At twelve O'Clock
a rider comes into camp on keen
run, rolls stiffiy from his horse, pulls
the tarpaulins from over two of the
sleeping men, and arouses each with
the words, third relief"
Each man as he is called springs
from his bed as if he had been wide
awake, pulls on his boots and coat
buckles on his spurs, takes his birdie
out of his bed-for a COW boys bee
is his harness room, and portman
teau-caiches up his hat, fps up hi
