srEUBENv1IE DONE UP NICELY
by tho Wheeling Club on the State Fair
Grounds Yesterday Interesting Game
In BFOIlIng sun, Witnessed by
u Very CredItabls Attendance.

II was rather a cold day for the steu,
beuville team yesterday, and especially
for Dunn, their pitcher, who was hammer.
ed for twelve hits, Watson, for the home
club, pitched an elegant game, aud kept
thu opposing side down to four hih,
Spe,iel, on bshalt OF Wheeling, handled
the bat with telling effect, getting two
singles and two doubles, and he placed
them where they would do the most good.
Joe Dudley, also, did very timely hitting,
but the sluggers OF the nine had a day oil.
Sullivan played fine game at first, and
the iu,deld work was all very good, only
one error marking It's play-the iuggle Of q
grounder by White, 0'Brlght broke his
record by missing g line tly, but as 1t was
Mixes first mutt, the crowd forgaVe him.
Nichols made two beautiful catches at
centre, which went far towards keeping
down the score on the other side.
The bulk Of the work on the visitoTa' side
was done behind the bat, ten men being put
out there. In the first inning the Wheel
ing batters went out in succession on
sharp foul tips to catcher, when he was
close up behind the bat. This Is the first
recorded case Of this kind. A fair sized
audience was In attendance and quite a
large number Of ladies' saw the game,
Jack Glasscock, the famous short'stop-st
present with the Maroons-was on the
grounds, An attempt was made to get
him to play, but having had long ride
from Washington, and having to leave ior
Chicago early last evening, no did not feel
in condition, The next games will be
with the Alliance, Ohio, club on the Goth
and 2lst OF this month.

A FATAL CASUALTY
or a yERY pEcuLIAR cAARAcTER,
A Tree Fall. on Woman and Horse, KIN
Ing both OF Them-A Mans Serious AGGl'
dent on tho u. 3 o, AIaIu street Bridge.
Narrowly Escapes Sudden Death.

One Of tho most peculiar accidents ever
Chronlcled in this vicinity, happened yes
tsrday in the country about nine miles
from the city. Mrs. Henry Rider, Q for
mer resident Of the Eighth ward, who
now lives in the country near the old
flour mill on Wheeling creek, yesterday
afternoon took one OF her husbands
horses to the creek to water him. She
led him to the edge Of the creek near
where an old trunk OF tree stood. The
animal had been drinking only a moment
when a sudden gust OF wind struck the
dismantlsd tree, throwing 1t down, The
trunk struck both the woman and the
horse in its fall crushing them to the
ground, The horse was instantly killed,
the tree breaking lis back, and Mrs
Rider was so severely hurt that the ply
sicians said she could not live till night.
The tree had not been regarded as at all
dangerous, 1t is probable that 1t had
been weakened by decay and the warning
OF the elements until the light gust OIL
wind caused It's fall.
Mrs. Rider had many friends In the
city who will sincerely mourn her terrible
fate.

THE WHEELING OIL COMPANY.
Tho First Dividend Doclnrcd-A New Well
Located.

Tho First Dividend Declarod-A New Well
Located.
The Board Of Directors OF the Wheeling
Oil Company met Last evening and dc.
clared a dividend Of ten per cent Of the
capital stock, payable in cash. This leaves
a balance OF $2,400 In the treasury, all out
OF five days production. 1t Is sale to say
that mono Of the stock could be bought at
200 last evening.
The Board visited the company's lease
on the Washington Fair Grounds yester-
day and located second well. It will BIO
drilled at the rear OF the grounds, but at
the corner opposite the No. well, at a
distance oil about 240 yards from II.
The No. well will be drilled in to-day,
and the contractors tools removed and
the well taken of his hands. The com.
pany will put set Of tools OF its own In
the well. The oil 1t produces Is so rich
in pa'aiine as to require agitation OF the
tools at intervals 10 prevent Clogging.
A report prevailed In town yesterday
that the well had been shot. OF course
this was an error. The production last
evening was above forty barrels an hour,
which makes the idea Of shooting redIcu.
lous. The rumor doubtless originated
from the fact that the Shirts well No. 2
was shot yesterday morning in the Cor.
don sand. Somebody confused the two
wells. The Shirts responded In q grace.
full manner, throwing the oil over the top
OF the derrick. II afterwards made two
very nice flows. 1t is bridged over. The
Wheeling well is a steady flower, and
there will be no occasion to shoot 1t for
months to come, II at all. II is thought
that drilling her in to-day will cause o
decided increase in the output. She will
not be drilled more than two feet deeper
in the sand.
