ITO some of my readers i; may he inter
tercsting to explain the difference between
the Julian and Grcgorian Calendars. The
former, II Old Style, commences the year
on the 25th LAY Of March, and the latter,
or New Style makes the lst day Of January
the beginning of the year. The New Style
Calendar by which we now make our cal
culations was introduced by Pope Gregory
XIII in 1859 The system was adopted in
England in 1852 by the Swcdcs in 1853,
AMI by the German States in 1876. The
Russians are the only civilized nation in
Europe who still adhere 10 the Old style
hence in their computation they are now
| about II days behind the real time.

Neu oil Pool.

From present indications another Wash
ington county oil pool is looming up in
front of the trade. The well on the Fer
gus homestead farm, which shortly before
noon yesterday had penetrated the Gantz
sand about twenty feet and was then drill
ing in hard and unpromising sand, is the
prospective bear. About noon, yesterday,
Mr.. Galley, who was drilling, thought he
noticed puff of gas issuing from the hole.
He drilled few strokes more, and becom-
ing convinced that his surmise was correct
he pulled the tools and shut down in order
to make connections and move out the
boiler. Up to ak o'clock the well had
made three flows, the last of which was
saved in a $50 tank, from twenty to twenty
FIVE barrels. Grading was at once COM
menced for 600 barrel tank, which will
be ready about noon, and the boiler having
been moved back the work of drilling in
the well will be commenced shortly after
dinner. The well is between one-half or
three-quarters of mile distant, slightly
south of east, from tho old s. p. Fergus
gusher.

Will be Granted From the Date of Their
Husbands Deaths.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 9.-The
President has approved the act of Con-
gress providing that pensions heretofore or
hereafter granted to widows of soldiers
of the war of the rebellion shall commence
at the date of the death of the husband.
This legislation favorably effects all claims
of widows of the late war which have
been filed in the Pension office on CT al
ter July 1, 1880, and which have been al
lowed to commence from the date OF the
filing Of the claims; but will not favorably
affect the cases of such widows as were
filed before July 1, 1880, and which have
been allowed pension, having already been
granted in these cases from from the date
of their husbands death. The commits
siOner of pensions gives notice that IN the
settlement under this law of claims al
ready allowed no formal application will
be required and that the services OF at
torneys will not be necessary. Widows
entitled under said law nsed only let

and certificate number, and the claims
will be allowed with'as little delay as Is

The Baker Trial.

There have been several rumors saoat con-
cerning the reason the State made such q
stand against the admission Of depositions
in the Baker case at Wellsburg last
Wednesday. Tine defendant has under the
statute the right to take depositions in his
own behalf, although the prosecution has
not but must confront the accused with
the witness in person. The State will
have to aceede TO this demand sometime,
and to those familiar with the law and
facts the strenuous objections made by the
attorneys for the State were almost inex-
plainable. 1t is now said that John Nc
Sweeney bulldozed the case upon the other
counsel, alleging that that to admit any
thing would be dangerous to the proeecu-
tion, and was so urgent in his demands
that the others finally aeceded to them.
The reason of this Is that McSweeney Is to
defend the Masons, charged with murder
in the first degree, for the killing of VIM,
r. Reyolds, at Ashland The Mason trial
begins next week.-Stsabnriile Herald.

BALTIMORE, June 9.-No news OF the
recovery of the body of T. Harrison Gar
rett has vet been received. A statement
from Capt. Wheeler, of the steamer Joppa,
which ran into and sunk the yacht Clean,
was obtained this morning, on the arrival
of his vessel at Baltimore.
He says: "Just before the accident l
was in the saloon aft. l heard two whis-
ties, and in about minute two short and
quick ones. l then started for the pilot
house and got about TO forward stairway
when heard the bells ring with a jingle,
to stop and back full speed. Before l got
out of the for ward door we had struck. In
seven minutes we had one boat lowered. l
looked over the bow and asked if the yacht
was sinking? The reply came from several
voices, yes I told the people on the yacht
to come aboard of the Jopps and several Of
them did so. We laid by the yacht and
took them all of. They had one of their
boats to the yachts stern aiding in taking

The Victim OF Merchants Boycott Takes
the Case to Court.
NEW YORK, June "a Hszleton, Pa,
special says: Much excitement was caused
at Frseland yesterday by the action of sher-
iff Trescott, of Luzerne county, who
served writs upon nearly every merchant
in the town to require them to answer q
charge Of conspiracy. The complainant ia
George E. Hill, son of Charles F. Hill, 3
we'll known real estate agent of this place.
Mr.. Hill was mansger Of the Freeman Gas
Co. 8 electric light plant. Daring the re-
cent strike in this region the K. of l.. AS
sembly of Freeland asked for the business
men to boycott the Gas Company unless
they discharged Hill, against whom they
had a grievance on account Of his having
been employed as q coal and iron police
man at Perth Amboy during the coal and
iron strike about two years ago. A notice
to this effect, signed by nearly all the
business men, was sent to the Gas Compa-
ny last November, and in consequence
Hill was discharged. He now brings suit
in the Luzerne county court against the
signers of the notice to recover damages.

BALTIMORE, June 9.-Senator Haie's
committee of investigation continued lts
labors to-day. A number Of witnesses
were examined, but there was nothing
drawn out which would support specific
charge of violation of the civil service laws.
William T. Henderson, ex-Inspector OF
the Postofiee Department, was castigated
by Senator Blackburn for his conduct IN
the South in 1876.
By Mr.. Hadna, Republican, it was
shown that in the Customs Department all
the division chiefs but two were now Dem
ocrats, and that of the 189 employees 49
were Republicans, including IL Union
soldiers.
N. N. Rollins, Republican, exhibited
letter from Collector of Revenue Roberts
dismissing him because ito the victors be-
long the spoils." His position did not
come under civil service rules.
The committee then finally adjourned.
Mr.. Hale went back to Washington, and
Mr.. Blackburn will remain here for a day
or two. Senator Chase went to Philadel-
phia last night.

Arthur Whitney Begins Action Against the
Detroit Club.
Boston, Juue 9.-Yesterday trustee
writ was served upon the Boston Base Ball
Association in the suit of Arthur Whitney,
of Lowell, against the Detroit Base Ball
Club for breach of contract. Whitney al
leges the Detroits induced him to break of
negotiations with Pittsburg, by promising
to guarantee his salary for the rest of the
season, and they wired him to play with
them, but that the negotiation fell through
when the Pittsbnrgs refused to take Cru
Der in exchange for Whitney.
Whitney's intention was first mentioned
in this paper some weeks ago, but recently
it was announced that his suit would be
against the Pittsburg club. His case it
will he remembered was discussed by q
good many base ball lawyers. John M.
Ward claimed that Whitney had good
case but he met with many who held q
different opinion. The suit will test a
good many points in base bali law on
which decision has been desired for years
past.
