ACCORDING to one of their alleged
organs, the what-do-you call.it. at Third
and King streets. the Republicans Of
New Castle county have not yet com
pleted their ticket According to the
facts that ticket is completed The
EVENING JOURNAL, which prints all the
news, published the Republican county
nominations as completed more than two
weeks ago If the what-you-call- will
turn to our hle it can learn all about it.
Its editors probably think that New
Castle county has only six representa-
tives in the General Assembly. Mr.. Blaine
advised Postmaster General Dickinson to
read the history of his country. II would
be well, probably il some one should read
the constitution Of the state to Che editor
Of this blazing Republican organ He
would then learn, possibly, that this
county and all the counties in the state
have now and have had for a century
almost seven representatives in the Gen
eral Assembly We shall not tell this
'organ" which particular representative
II has overlooked. We have too much
regard for him. He may stand some
chance Of being elected il he escapes
having his name misspelled by the what
you-call-it. We viii, however. give the
the organ this piece Of information. There
is no candidate running IN this county by
the name Of Daniel p. Stewart. Daniel b.
Stewart is the Republican candidate for
The General Assembly from Red Lion hun
dred. The"organ fell into these particular
errors by copying from the other Republi-
can organ. Il ought to copy again since
the other organ has had some Of its
errors corrected.

WONDERFUL PIrHoLE CITY.

Another Strange Chapter in the Histo-
ry of That once Wealthy Town.
Scarcely two weeks ago the Graphic told
the story of the rise and fall of Pithole City
in the famous oil country. II read like a
romance and seemed the last word that
might be said about the dying town. But
for petroleum phenomena it would appear
that Pithoe is without a rival.
For twonty years or more scarcely bar
rel Of oil has been taken out Of the ground
anywhere near the famous old town, and
now almost in a day, now excitement has
sprung up in the abandoned PithOle lands.
Agnin, as 10 1865, the farms are being over
run with oil mon hunting leases, and the in-
dications are that the entire territory will
again Do drilled over. This queer develop
msnt was started by operations in tho past
few months around the Old town Of Pleas
antville, also la VenaDgo county.
This development extended in the direc-
tiOn of Pithole, until it has finally reached
that place, and once more the country is
having "A well defined "Pthole excitement -
rne oil at present being found in tho neigh
borhoDd is taken from n lower stratum OF
rock. Some OF the wells nave produced as
hi iGh as 100 barrels day, and IL * tel eyed
that this will be about the maximum pro-

men were around in tho vicinity leasing up

of workmen are now employed raising the
necessary buildings and preparing the

pany offers over $4,000 in purses and

FIRE SEEKS HUMAN LIFE.
Narrow Escape of Two Men in q
BrOughton Street Blaze.

Two men had a narrow escape from
death in smoke and flames in the three
story wooden building on the southeast
corner Of Broughton and Drayton streets
shortly after o'clock this morning. The
ground floor of the building is used as
barroom by NJ. J. Roos, who also lives on
the floor above, and in addition rents two
rooms on the third floor to Leander Butter
and L. D. Alexander. Just before o'clock
Mr.. Roos had occasion to 20 into closet
opening off of his room, and in
lighting lamp dropped the
burning match on the floor 1t
fell among a lot of waste paper,
which ignited like powder and sent sheet
of flame leaping up into the air The fire
was beyond Mr.. Roos' control in jIffy,
and communicated like flash to the ad-
joining woodwork and the stairway lead
ing to the floor above. All Mr.. Roos could
do was to shout to tbs sleeping men above
to leap from their beds and run for their
lives and seek his own safety in flight.
Mr.. Butler heroically pulled Mr.. Alexander
out of bed and pushed him half asleep down
the blazing stairway. Both men were nearly
suffocated by the smoke and the soles Of
Mr.. Buffers feet were blistered by the
flames, while MIR. Alexander had his eye
brows and the hair on his head
singed. On the second floor they
stopped long enough to throw dow IL
stairs the trunk and part of the clothing of
Mr.. Roos. In the meantime an alarm had
been telegraphed to the headquarters of the
fire department and box was struck
bringing the apparatus quickly to the
scene. The flames were soon extinguished,
but the building was flooded with water
from top TO bottom. The structure is the
property of doc" Smith, well-known
man about town. 1t is damaged to the
extent of $500 or $500 and is understood to
be insured. Mr. Roos estimates the value
of his stock and other effects at $1,500 and
is insured for 1,5Qp. His loss is not total,
but the exact amount could
not be approxImated with any
accuracy this morning. The effects
of Messrs. Butler and Alexander consist of
their wardrobes, which were thoroughly
smoked and soaked if not partially burned.
They carried no insurance.
