FIFTEEN STRAIGHT,
NOT COUNTING THE TUESDAY GAME AT
STEUBRNVILLB.
Eighteen is the Greatest League Record in tho United
Satss-Ysstsrday's Contest With
Sandusky-Notes.

At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the
prospects for game between the Wheeling
and Sandusky teams were very dubious, but
shortly after one o'clock the clouds broke,
and the sun coming out hot, dried the
grounds sufficiently by the time play was
called. The diamond was heavy enough,
however, to prevent brilliant playing, and
the 500 spectators present were treated to
very Indifferent exhibition Of the No
tional game. 1t is needless to say that
Wheeling won, hands down. Morrison
was very effective in keeping the hits OF
the visitors scattered, and most Of their
runs were obtained through poor fielding.
They got two scores in this way in the first
inning, and succeeded in banking the
home team, but the boys rose superior to
the occasion, and in the second slugged the
ball all over the field, six men crossing
the plate before the side was retired. From
this out the game was listless and unln-
terestipg, the only amusing feature being
the guying of Umpire Simmons, which
was INDUCED in by players and audience
alike. Simmons took the fun in good part,
and seemed to enjoy the roasting as much
as his would-be prosecutors. Although
somewhat off IN his decisions on halls and
strikes, he umpired very fair game.
Esstou braeed up after the second in
ming, and pitched fine game, but the
lead obtained by the Wheeling boys was
too heavy to be overcome. Otterson ana
Morrison found the ball, and Brodie made
fine catch of r. Westlske's long hit in
the third. The same clubs play again to-
day, and fine contest is expected, as the
Ssndusky boys are players from way back
Following is the full score:

BERTHA WILLIAMS GUILTY,

Her Case Closed at st. Clairsville, Yester-
day-The Hamilton Girl on Trial.
The case Of the State of Ohio v. Gsrtie
Williams, charged with shooting with in
tent to kill, at Jerry Clemens road house,
some six weeks ago, when Samuel and
Cornelius Waters were wounded, began at
st. GAINESVILLE yesterday morning, in the
Common Pleas Court, before a very large
audience. The evidence adduced was in
all essential particulars about that recited
before Justice Howell, at Bridgeport, at
the preliminary hearing, and fully reported
in this paper at the time. Among the
witnesses examined were officers Shorts
and Lukens, of this city. The examina-
ton of witnesses and the arguments of
counsel were concluded about noon, and
after receiving the Judges charge the jury
retired, returning in about half an hour
with verdict of guilty, as charged in the
indictment. The penalty is from one to
twenty years, and there is every indica =
ton that Gertie will get pretty long
term.
The case of the State v Bertha Hamilton
was at once called, and the evidence was
proceeded with as rapidly as possible.
When Court adjourned the cause was not
concluded, but the jury will go out this
morning, and there will probably be a YER
dict before noon.
The trial of the two Martins Ferry men,
Sanders and Arbsugh, who are held under
bond as accessories, will probably he de-
ferred until about Monday, the docket of
the Court being flied for to-day and to-
morrow with other matters.
There is q great deal of interest mani
tested in these trials, as was evidenced by
the close attention paid the proceedings in
the Court room, yesterday.

The Taylorstown OH Field.

Taylorstown is fast developing into an
oil town. The operators, drillers and
others have apparently taken full pos
session and the inhabitants do not seem
averse to the change, as wells are being
drilled on the town lots Of quite number
of them. Indeed the derricks are so thick
through the town, q dozen or more OF
them, that the little village would seem to
be in imminent danger Of destruction by
fire. Operations are more active than ever
before. The first we'll drilled Mt Taylors-
town, the old John McMannis No. l, was
owned by Mr.. Vandergritt. Oil was got
on the 9th of July, 1886, and the well
was shut in until the 26th. 1t was COM
plete mystery. The sand WAS shallow and
very unpromising in quality, so much so
that the almost universal opinion was that
the well wac no good. When finally
opened up, however, it developed into a
100 barrel producer and held its own at
that figure for many months, and to-day.
nearly two years after being struck, Is pro-
dueipg from 81 to So barrels day. It's
total output cannot be far from 45,OOO
barrels. The development OF the Taylors-
town field has been proceeded with slowly,
but the field now contains thirty-four pro-
duciug wells, fourteen of which are the
property of the Washington Oil Company.
The latter are allowed to produce about
49O barrels a day. If the wells were al
lowed to Cow their full capacity they
would probably produce about !, 300 bar
rels day, which would make the total
daily output over 2, 500 barrels.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

Singer, Nimick S Co. Start Up rs Nom
Union Mil.
PITTsBURG, PA, July 5.--There were
no more signatures to the Amalgamated
scale up to one o'clock this afternoon, and
the general situation was about the same
as on Tuesday. The steel firm Of Singer,
Nimick & Co. made an effort to-day 10
start their works with non-union men,
which was quite successful. The works
have been closed for several weeks on ac-
count of wage disagreement, and the
firm have decided to run the mill indepen-
dent of the Amalgamated' Association
and Knights of Labor. Last evening Mr..
Singer submitted a proposition to his old
men, offering to pay the same wages as de.
manded by the Amalgamated, but posi-
lively refusing to sign any scale or agree
ment. A number Of the men accepted the
proposition and this morning there was
partial resumption in the steel hammer,
spring, axle, sheet mill, and rolling and
heating departments. The firm employs
about 800 men when running full, and
tney expect 10 start Ill utptI tuehts WIN
foil complement of men in few days.
Tonight Moorhead & Bros, iron manu-
facturers, of sharpsbuIg, p, signed the
Amalgamated scale, making sixteen sig
natures 80 far. The Republic Iron Works,
Oliver Bros. & Phillips, and Carnegies
Twenty ninth and Thirty third street
mills, started up to-day. None of the
mills, however, were in full operation,
and it will probably be couple of weeks
before the various firms that have con-
coded the demands of the workmen will
have their plants in full blast
Secretary Martin WAS seen this afternoon
and asked what he thought of the turn Of
affairs at Singer, Nimick & Co.'s mill. He
said he had not received any official notice
that members of the association had re-
turned TO work. THAT is a question for
the men to SETTLE" further remarked Sec
rotary Martin. ''If they want to resume
work and withdraw from the association
they will have to put up with the result.
The firm Offering to pay last years wages
demonstrates very conclusively that the
Amalgamated Association is not demand
ing more wages than the manufacturers
can afford 10 pay. Wages, it seems, is
not no much of an object az the associa-
ton"

How Another Private Pension Steal Ran
Against q Snag.

How Another Private Pension Steal Ran
Against snag.
WASHINGTON, July 5-The President
sent to Congress to-day message vetolng
bill granting pension to Mary Anne
Doherty. The message states that large
share of the reports of the Senate Com
mittee on Pensions, adopted also by the
House committee, consists of the petition,
in which the woman says that her hus-
band, who had served in New Jersey
regiment, left her in 1865 and has not been
heard of since. She had received pension
as the widow of Daniel Doherty
until it was discovered that he was alive
and living in Philadelphia, and was him
self drawing a pension there. She had
succeeded in getting the pension in the
first instance by much false swearing. The
police records of Washington (her resi-
dence) showed her to be woman OF bad
character, having been arrested nine times
for drunkenness, larceny and other mis-.
demeanors.
Continuing the President says that the
theory seems TO be established that no man
who had served in the army could be the
subject Of death or of impaired health ex-
cept as the result Of army service, medical
theories being set at naught. Even suicide
was traced by devious and wonderfully
curious ways to service in the army, and
the adjudications of the Pension Bureau
were overruled in the most peremptOry
fashion by special acts of Congress. He
would yield to no man in desire TO see
those who defended the Government
literally treated. Unfriendliness
to the veteran soldier was a
charge easily and sometimes dishonesty
made. The true soldier was good citizen
and wou'd be satisfied with generous, fur
and equal treatment. The pension list OF
tho Republic should be roll of honor, not
matter of indiscriminate aims giving
He had attempted to stem the tide of inl-
proyident pension enactments, but ne still
felt share of responsibility in letting too
many of them become laws.
The bill aud message were referred to
the Committee on Pensions, as were two
other pension YetOes.

THE EXHIBITION
OPENED At CINCINNATI, ON THB FOURTH
AND WAS SHARE In Ii.
A Wheeling Gsadsman's Impressions Of the opening
and the Present and Prospective Interest
Of the Event

Hon. BENZ. Fisher returned from clne,n
nat; last evening, where he witnessed the
opening of the Exhibition, on the fool'n'
IA s.vs the affair will be well worth see
inc when the arrangement of the various
exhibits is concluded, but at present
.h;nos ara in a rather chaotic state. Inc
floral display is one Of the best ever seen
in this country, and excited the admira'
ton of the thousands who were present al
the opening exercises. The government.
d;snlay also promises to Re great one, out
at nresent little has been done with it, few
If the boxes and other packages having
been opened. A large force is at work az
the stuff, however, and the display will be
mt in shape with all possible despatch.
The West Virginia exhibit does not
amoupt to much, as yet, Whatever may
come of it in the future. Mr.. Fisher says
the building prepared for the reception OIL
the contributions from this State is q very
nice one, and can be made an attractive
place, but the location is an unfortunate
one, it being ont Of the way OF the CROWD,
and anyone visiting it must make an
especial and round about trip. There are
some exhibits of coal, coke, timber, etc {,
bnt even these have not been all put in
place. A number of manufacturing estao-
iishments have promised to send on sam,
pies of their goods. and it is to bs hoped
they will do 30.
Mr.. Fisher occupied an elevated posi-.
ton during the big jsmboree on the night
Of the third. and he says the scene eclipsed
ANYTHING be ever before witnessed. The
whole town seemed to be in blsze, and
the noise was little short of deafenipg
He was generally well pleased with the
trip, and Gays the Exhibition az whole is
a great one, and will, when the arrange
ment of the exhibits has been completed,
be Of great interest.
