OUR NEW OIL FIELD.


As We intimated in our last issue,
the Tionesta Oil Co.'s we'll on Dawson
Run is a good one; much better one,
in fact, than the most saDguine had
hoped for. The pump was started on
Thursday and has since thrown out an
so barrel stream, or at that rate. Not
having sufficient tankage on hand, and
having as yet no pipe line connections,
it has been necessary to keep the pro-
duction down to as little as possible,
until proper connections can be made,
arrangements for which are now about
completed. The we'll has been visited
by great many, and all pronounce it
real daisy. 1t has not had a drop
of glycerine in it as yet, and the
steady manner in which it holds up is
the wonder of all. The we'll is trife
over 400 feet deep, and the drill has
penetrated the sand 10 feet. It is
pronounced by judges to be very
handsome sand, and was as good when
the drill stopped as when first tapped.
The oil is dark, in which particular it
seems to resemble the Fagupdus oil.
This strike has created no small
amount of excitement in that locality,
and one operator thinks there will be
no less than fifty holes put down be-
fore six months have passed around.
When this we'll was struck a little
breeze was kicked up about the owner.
ship of a lease on sub division No. 8
of the McCalmont tract, Mr.. j. B.
Agnew having possession of the same
Mr.. Fred. Morck of Warren, claimed
the lease, and at one time it looked as
if there might be war. The matter
has been amicslly compromised, how
ever, aud Messrs. Agnew Il Morck
will operate the lease under the name
of the Compromise Oil Co. A rig i:
now building on the same, and drilling
will soon begin. 1t is located about
80 rods west of the new we'll.
j. B. Agnew, @. Jameson and j
F. Proper own about 600 acres in fee
in the vicinity Of the Dawson Ru1
we'll, and in connection with A. B
Kelly have under lease about 500
acres more in one block, extending
from about 200 rods west of the new
strike to the west line of the Sower
tract, below Jameson Run, and ovel
a mile wide, which, with a Htusvill,

Work on the Titusville gas line
is progressing favorably and it is hoped
TO complete it by the first of next
month. Large gangs of men are at
work on it, but the weather has been
unfavorable and some of the country
through which it passes is very rough
and rocky, blasting being necessary in
many places. The trench in which
the pipe is buried, is three feet deep.
The line has not yet been laid across
the river and the water is so high that
considerable trouble will be exper-
fenced in putting it down. Had the
pipe been laid during the summer,
while the water was so low, it could
have been buried in the bed of the
river, but as it is now the line must
cross on the top of the ground at the
bottom. The crossing point is between
President and Baum station. The
workmen have camps at Pithole and
Loots City, north of the river, and
Camp Misery, south of the river, was
opened to. day.-OI City Blizzard.

One OF Lord SackvillO's Pretty Daughters
Gets Even With the Administration by
Refusing 10 HOcognize Mrs. Cleveland
While out Shopping.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 11.-Through
the medium of his pretty daughter,
Lord Sackyille has revenged himself
against President Cleveland in truly En-
glish style. Miss West went out shop
ping yesterday with well-known mem
Der Of the Italian Legation, for whom
the young lady has OF late shown de-
cided partiality. The two entered big
drygoods store on Pennsylvania avenue,
and were talking over purchase when
the Presidents carriage drove up to the
curb and Mrs. Cleveland alighted. Miss
West and her Italian friend saw this,
but affected ignorance OF the fact that the
Presidents wife was in the store. Mrs.
Cleveland approached them. The young
attache raised his hat.
Mrs. Cleveland acknowledged the sa-
lutte and spoke to him. Then, with a
smile, she extended her hand TO Miss
West, but that young lady would have
none OF it. With n supercilious air she
looked at Mrs. Cleveland from head to
foot as ii she were some importunate
beggar. With well studied dramatic ac-
tion she shrank from the extended hand,
and folding hers in front of her, turned
her back on the Presidents wife.
Mrs. Cleveland blanched for Il moment,
Her position was embarrassing. Half q
dozen of the store employees had wit
messed the incident, and Miss Vests
Italian friend wore q stolid look of pre-
occupation. as il he were careless OF the
insult. Mrs. Cleveland's face flushed,
her lips contracted, and hereyes flashed.
Her equanimity, however, was very soon
restored. Without saying another word
to either Miss West or the Italian, she
passed on TO a neighboring counter,
transacted her business quickly, andleft
the store.
Inasmuch as the ladies have often
been seen together of late, the incident
lias provided great food for the gossips
The prevailing opinion is that Lord
Sackville's recent discontinue ought
never to have influenced his daughters
good manners. To an intimate friend
Mrs. Cleveland admitted thatshe keenly
felt being snubbOd, not so much because
the British daughter had snubbed her,
as for the reason that she had hoped to
leave Washington forever with nothing
but pleasant recollections OF the place.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE Na.
tional Assembly of knights of Labor viii
meet at indianapolis next Tuesday, and
the members of that organization in this
neighborhood are LOOKING forward to the
event with much interest. The Nation
al Convention this year will be OF un-
usual Importance, because, for more
than any other reason, there is Candi-
date in the field for General Master
Workman against the incumbent, I. v.
Powderly. Well informed members OF
the knights, among whom is William
II. Lewis, Master Workman OF Lochiel
Assembly, and who will be delegate to
the convention, feel confident that Mr..
Powderly will not be his own successor
as the head of the organization, and tire
prospects OF electing another gives them
great satisfaction,
The Knights charge Mr.. Powderlywith
meddling too much in politics and spar
ing too little time for the interests OF the
workingmen in what he pleases to call
"petty strikes" Mr.. Powderly's oppon-
ent will by William +. Lewis, OF Colum-
bus, o., Master Workman of the Coal
Miners Assembly. There may be sew
eral others nominated for the position,
but Mr.. Lewis popularity and his we'll
known ability seem to specially qualify
him for that place, and It is the general
feeling among the knights that there is
not one among them, not even Mr.. Pow
derly himself, who can defeat him.
Aspecial from indianapolis says: The
General Assembly of the knights Of
Labor will be held here next week, and
there are indications OF very stormy
session. The campaign has made agreat
amount of trouble for the order, and it is
not improbable that there will be q very
serious breach in consequence. AT
least there must be few members ex-
PEELED il harmony is maintained in the
future.
Itis the determination OF members OF
the order in the city to demand the ex-
pulsion OF E. +. Gould and his associ-
ates for the work OF circulating tho dol
lar a day lie about General Harrison and
using the order in the interest OF the
Democratic party.
