Gravel Roads.

Within the past two years about dozen
miles of gravel roads have been made in this
county, and while they have not been thor
oughly tested it is believed the gravel i'm
proved roads are just what the people of this
county need and that they will prove durable
and have come to stay. So far all the gravel
necessary for roads has been found, and no
doubt upon further investigation gravel suff-
cient will be forthcoming to improve every
road in the county. This and Ridgeville are
the only townships in the county so far that
have voted for gravel roads. Let other town
ships follow, and each build few miles each
year, and it will not be long until Henry
county can boast of as good roads as can be
found in any county in the State, Our coun-
ty is improving rapidly and good roads are
demanded.

ROBBED THE WELLS FARGO.
A Masked Desperate Goes Through
Stage in California.

San LUIS OBIsPA. Cal, July 21.-The
stage running between this place and
Templeton was robbed by a masked
man last night while crossing the noun
tains ABOUT five miles from here. Tie
robber ordered the driver to
stop and Immediately covered
him with revolver. He then
compelled the passengers, six in num-
Der, and the driver to alight from the
stage and covered the heads Of all with
masks. The passengers were placed in
row and robbed of about $500 alto
gether. There was one lady passenger.
Nothing was taken from her. The
driver was then ordered to throw
off Wells-Fargo's express box and
the United States mail bags. The box
was chopped open and the contents
which are supposed to have been about
thousand dollars, taken. The mail
also was opened, and number of let
tiers examined. The robber then col
lected his booty and disappeared up
the mountain. A sheriff and posse are
now in pursuit.

PITHOLE HAS A BOOM.
Prospective Resurrection of the Aban.
doned Oil Metropolis.

Prospective Resurrectio of the Adam
doned Oil Metropolis.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 2l.-There is
great excitement in the oil regions over
the revival of the Pithole oil field. Pit
hole has, for nearly quarter of CEN
fury, been considered a sucked orange,
and the oil right of 100000 acres around
the old town would not have brought
800. Now the excitement is greater
there than in any other field in the re-
gion, not excepting Bakerstown. Blacl,
Bros. have been puhsing the drill around
Pleasantville SO successfully that they
have been encouraged to test the old
Pithole region and the result is one of
the surprising things of the oil region.
In this ola and long since aban-
doned territory they now have
seven wells that are good for
5000 bbls a month. There is some
difference of Opinion regarding the
sand, but it is probably lower horizon
than the rich sand of 1866, that made
Pithole the most famous city in the
world. and gave it population of 49,
600 to 10000 in a few months. Great
activity is reported IN The field among
lease-hunters, and large production
in this old field is expected within the
next few months.

Several Theater Attaches BADLY burned
by Acid at ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July IA peculiar
accident occurred at the Standard The
alter last night, which resulted in the
probably fatal burning of Ed Hill and
Michael Dryer, aged 10 and 81 respec-
lively, and the severe injury of sew
eral other attaches of the theater.
The men were engaged In fumigat-
ing the theater with sulphuric
acid, which Hill and Dwyer were pour
ing from stone jugs. Both jugs explod-
ed at once scattering the acid in every
direction, saturating the clothing of the
young men who were pouring the acid
and bespattering those standing near.
Hill and Dwyer, nearly crazed with pain,
ran through the streets, fol-
lowed by crowd, until caught
by policeman and taken to
the city dispensary where their
burns were dressed and they were sent
home In their fight they had torn
almost all their burning clothing off and
reached the dispensary nearly nude.
The other wounded men were able to
20 to the dispensary without assistance
but they are severely injured.

cation, they discussed the means to
execute the deed. The conspirators
were armed with dynamite bombs, re-
volvers and daggers.
Chebowa is pleasant faced man OF
q years. He said the conspirators had
arranged to assassinate Mr.. Grinnell
July 14-last Saturday evening. The
mode of killing had not been decided
but either dynamite bomb was to be
thrown into his bedroom or exploded
beneath his residence, or he was to be
enticed to the door and shot or stabbed
to death.
After considering the matter a day or
two Chebowa confessed to prominent
Bohemian who in turn informed Mr..
Bonfield. Mr.. Grinnell was notified
and his eastern trip delayed. The
night set for the murder came around
and SO did detail of police. Mr..
Grinnell remembers having seen the
three men in the vicinity Of his resi-
dence. Hronek evidently suspected
that be was being watched. He was too
wary to get near enough to be arrested.
The details were picked up piecemeal
and the police were not ready to arrest
any one at that time

and the police, guided by the stranger,
entered hall bedroom where hidden in
corner the Inspector found an even
dozen dynamite cartridges wrapped i'll
brown paper. A further search of the
room disclosed, hidden in the bed,
large revolver and a dagger, some
bundles Of letters and other papers
which were also taken care of by the
police. Then a patrol wagon was
called and the prisoner taken to the
station.
The officers next went to house
some distance away, which, it is sup
posed, was 3Gl9 Quinn Street. Here
the two other arrests were made and
all three captives taken to the central

Thrilling Experience of an Excursion
Party on the Blue Ridge.
HAGERsTowN, Md, July 1S.-An ex-
cursion party on the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad had the thrilling experience
on Monday night, of riding behind
locomotive at the throttle of which was
a mailman. The Shenandoah Railroad
connects with the West Maryland road
at this place. The excursion was TO Pen

the train was returning when the excit-
ing episode occurred. 1t was about s
O'Clock; the lamps had been lighted
and the train was speeding over the
mountains south of here. The con-
ductor was collecting tickets when he
and the passengers were startled by the
train suddenly stopping and series of
wild yells from the direction of the en-
CINE. The conductor hurried forward.
In the baggage car he met the engineer
and fireman, their faces blanched with
terror. Just then the train began slowly
moving. my God" exclaimed the
engineer, "there is crazy man in the
cab." He excitedly related how at a
station just passed the man had jumped
on the tender and covering the engineer
and fireman with pistol, had forced
them to leave and climb back in the
baggage car. No time was to be lost
All brakes were hard down, the train
was moving slowly. The conduct

the engineer climbed back over
the tender. The conductor picked
up large stone and called
to the crazy man to jump down. The
latter responded with shot from re-
Oliver. AS he fired out of the cab win

lg the throttle, stopped the train. he
conductor threw the stone and it leiled
the lunatic, cutting terrible cash in
his head. He turned out to be Henry
Martin, of Bentonville, Va, who had
been crazed by liquor. The passengers
were badly frightened.

fixtures to meet the costs.
