A GREAT POSSIBILITY.

Two or three years ago large leases of
lands were made hereabouts by persons
supposed to represent the Standard Oil
Company. A well was bored on the
Stitt farm, South of town, and oil was
struck. Then it was plugged up, and
men left in charge, while the work OF
soliciting leases went steadily forward.
Last Saturday three car loads of materi-
al, including tanks, and the like, were re-
ceived at Glencoe, and it is given out
that active operations will commence at
once.
1t is believed that oil in large quanti-
ties will be found in this vicinity, and the
probabilities are the matter will be def
nitelydetermined within averyshOrt time.
Further developments will be looked for
ward to with keen interest. If pumping
is commenced at the Stitt well Others will
go down, and there is a probability that
things will be humming hereabouts in
few months. Speed the dayl

CIRCTTT COTRT

The Circuit Court opened on Tuesday
Judges Woodbury. and Laubie on the
bench. Judge Frazier is away because
of sickness in his family.
The Court has about the usual number
of cases to hear and determine. The
ones of special interest in this vicinity are
those of W. ). COwen rS. The Board of
Election of St Clairsville Precinct, error
from the Common Pleas, and of Margaret
\. Lochary rS. Daniel Steenrod, an ap-
peal case. Governs vote. it will be re-
membered, was refused at the fall elec-
ton, 1887, and suit was brought against
the officers who refused it. The case
was tried in the Common Pleas. and be-
cause of rulings in regard to admission
of testimony and of the charge to the
jury. was gained by defendants. In the
case of LOchary rS. Steenrod, the defen-
dant seeks to close the road east of his
house, leading to the dwelling on the
farm of plaintiff. The Cowen case was
heard this "wednesday morning, and the
Lochary- -Steenrod case will be heard to-
day likewise.
A case that attracted much interest on
Tuesday afternoon was that in which the
South Pennsylvania and Ohio R. R. Co.
sought to dissolve an injunction ATTAINED
in the Common Pleas at Steubenville by
the Wheeling and Lake Erie r. R. Co.,
restraining the former from occupying
certain lands in Jefferson county. In 1885.
Judge R. H. Cochran, representing the
first named company, bargained with one
Neil for right-of-way through his farm,
agreeing to pay 81 down and 81, ,4OOwhen
grading was commenced. Afterward L.
W. Sunderland President of the
corporation, wrote Neil surrendering the
right-Ofway. Nothing was paid. Neil
died, and his heirs afterward bargained
with the Wheeling and Lake Erie. 1t
was claimed that Sunderland had no
power to surrender the right of way with
out the concurrence of the Directors. 1t
was triangular fight, in which seven
lawyers took part.

the temporal bone and clot of blood in
the base of the brain The unfortunate
man was a pedler and had a wife and
family in Pittsburgh 1t is doubtless a
case of murder, but as yet the Bellaire
authorities have been unable to fix re-

it to itself to probe the matter to the bot

perpetrator of the deed, people whom
business calls out after nightfall, espe-
