Jefferson Davis, who is so years old
to-day, and who was i'll ct latest advi-
ces from his homestead, has outlived
nearly all the Confederate commanders
who served under him, rs we'll as the
Union commanders VINO fought against
him. He has outlived his antagonist,
Abraham Lincoln. by twenty three
years. He has outlivei both Gen.
Lee and Gen. Grant, both Admiral
Porter and Aumiral Semmes, and, in
the diplomatic field, both Charles +.
Adams and John S!idell. He has out~
lived the greater part of both the con-
tending armies, though he was far
older man in 1861 than most of these
who enlisted in them. He was a
prominent politician and leader in the
United States Senate when Abraham
Lincoln was an obscure lawyer in lilie
uois. In the Mexican war he was Sc
verely wounded at Buena Vista Al

The Republicans are loud of mouth
and boisterously boastful as to how
they are going to pound the life out OF
the Democracy and tan its hide, aud
knock Grover Cleveland and the old
red bandauna into inocuous desuetude
next November. These are idle boasts
made by such blatant body SHIFT
wavers as Gov. Foster of Ohio and
vulgar would-be vultures like Webster
Flanagan of Texas to keep up their
courage. The Democracy won in 1884
by small majority with the "rascals"
in power. Cleveland and Thurman will
win this year by an overwhelming
majority. There is no resisting the
popular Democratic wave.

A WELL OF REFINED OIL.

Petroleum Comes from the Ground Ready
 for Use-Excitement Over New Wells.
 PTTTSBURG, Dec. 5.-On the Summerville 'arm, three miles north of Bradys Bend, here is an oil we'll which is a curiosity from jhe fact that it's product has been refined by nature, and as a consequence its owner, MT, '5ummerville, sells the oil to consumers direct. The neighbors burn it in their lamps without its having gone through any process Ex- perts say that natural gas aids in the refining process. There is gas wee alongside of the oil we'll The gas forces the crude petroleum through sand and gravel in some manner unknown, and in that way it is cleared of refuse matter, and made suitable for illumi- mating purposes.
 GREEN RIDGE, Pa, Dec 5,-There is in< tense excitement in Wayne county over the reported discovery of oil in several townships. In Paupack the people have raised S6,000, and are going to begin boring as soon as the necessary machinery can be procured. In Bethany the people are intensely wrought up, and where they haven't the ready money they are mortgaging their farms and homes i'll order to raise it.

News from Hayti.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-The steamer Alvo, from St. Marc, Hayti, brought copies of a pamphlet, printed in French, setting forth the claims of the northern insurgents, under Gen. Hyppolite, to supremacy in the gov ernment of the island; accusing Gen. Le- gitime of being the despotic leader of band of cutthroats and adventurers, and appeal ing to all governments not to recognize Legitime until the true condition of affairs is thoroughly understood. The steamer also brings news that Legitime intends to dismiss Minister Preston and Consul General Bas- sett, Hayti's representatives at Washington and New York, and to appoint two Legitim- ists in their stead, in the hope that the United States, by recognizing them, will recognize him as lawf,.l ruler of Hayti

O'Brien to be Deposed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Republican county executive committee last night adopted report of a subcommittee declar- ing that John J. OBrien had sold out the local and state ticket at the recent election, and should be deposed from the leadership in the Eighth assembly district. Barney Biglin and John E. Brodsky were the only defenders of OBrien. They admitted that he took money from Tammany, but said it was neces- sary to sacrifice local Republican interests in order to save the national ticket. The action of the executive committee will doubtless be confirmed at to-night's meeting of the full county committee, though O'Brien, Biglin and Brodsizy will probably make the meeting lively with their opposition. In their report the subcommittee said that O'Bren received S3, 100 from the County Democracy, S4 $50 from Tammany and $1, 750 from the Repub- hcans on the congressional ticket alone He worked only for the Tammany man, however.

A DETECTIVES THEORY.
He Thinks Phil Daily Was Shot by Addie
 Stanton Through SealousY.


 Stanton Through sealousy.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A theory of the shooting of Gambler Phil Daly in a demi mondain's room at No 406 Fourth avenue, Monday afternoon, which is at least plausi- ble, was that of aetective who refused to permit publication of his name.
 ''I think, " he said, ''that Addie Stanton shot the big fellow. don't believe there was an- other man about the place when the shot was fired. Phil is pretty fly, and he realized at once that he would have to invent some story that would satisfy his friends, and he concocted the story of the badger game. Had there been two male murdsSers in the case the fellows wouldn't have been such suckers as to let Phil get away alive with all his wealth about him after once having shot him. Neither would they have been smart enough to get away by the fire escape in the rear of the house. In their hurry to get away they would have gone down the front stairs. None of the neighbors admit that any strange men got out of the yard through their premises. I think the Stanton woman shot Phil from jealousy or some other motive that only she and Phil know"
 Capt. Reilly, on the other hand, said that the police knew who the men were who shot Daly, but that is all he would say.
 Superintendent Murray said that the bad ger and panel games are essentially the same, and that Phil Daly was not the victim of the 'badger" game, for the sufficient reason that the trap into which Daly fell was not bad ger trap.
 The explanation of the disappearance of the men who figured in the episode is that they got out of rear window into the court behind the house, and made their escape by passing through the entry of one of the ad- joining houses that front on Fourth avenue.

Miners in Convention Considering Whether
 to Withdraw from the K. of l..
 COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 5-National Trade Assembly No. 135 of the Knights of Labor, composed of miners and mine laborers, are in session here to decide whether or not they will remain in the Knights of Labor or com bine with the National Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers, and form one general organization of their craft. W. T. Lewis, who was one of General Master Workman Powderly's bitterest opponents at the Indian apolis session of the General assembly. is national master workman of No. 1855, and it was at his instance that this special session of the assembly was called.
 MT. Lewis feels certain that a great ma ior- ity of the convention is with him in with drawing, and that National Assembly No. 1855 will soon be thing of the past. sWe can only hope to achieve success D he says. through combining with the miners in the open Lines. On the other hand, General Master Workman Powderly says that he has letters from over 200 local assemblies in the national assembly saying that they will re- fuse to leave the order.
