Over the Body of the Man Killed at
Rush Run.
As was stated in the REGISTER early in
the week, Alvah Sivard, Of Mingo juno
tiop. was struck by o. & P. freight train
at Rush Run on Sunday night. At the
time there was discovered in piece of the
mangled mans skull small hole, bear
ing resemblance to the work Of pistol
ball. Yesterday Coroner Starr, Of Jeffer-
son county, Ohio, exhumed the remains,
which were buried in Warrenton cemetery,
near Portland, and held an inquest. The
hole in the skull was still there, and the
Coroner claims that there is small wound
in the cheek which leads him to believe
that the bullet which made the hole
in the skull, if such thing occurred
passed out of the cheek. AIR. Harry Eber-
lein, the conductor Of the train that struck
Sivsrd, informed REGISTER man at the
time that after ths man was hit by the
train he picked up the piece Of skull in
q nestion, and after holding his Lantern on
the opposite side, could see the hols
mentioned. He further stated, however,
that be saw the mans heart, torn from his
body, lying between the rails, still show
ing muscular and nervous action. This
goes to prove that the man was not muir
dered and placed on the track to hide the
crime.

The City Receiver called the attention Of
the committee to the fact that the renters OF
city property are, in most cases, a long way
in arrears, ia some instances no rent having
been paid for five years past. The COM
mittee discussed the matter good while,
and decided that it did not want to take
action in number of cases, where the
renters were widows, with families to sup
port. The Receiver was ordered, in one
instance, however, to send notice to

HOW IT WAS FOUND.

The Big Gas Gusher Struck az Csdiz.
The Cadiz Republican in its account OF
the big gssser found at that place on the
18th inst, says: "Ths drill hsd peuetra-
ted the Beres sand last week, but to the
encouragement of all concerned had found
ONLY small indications of oil. The sand
itself, however, was the coarsest, lcosest
and in all respects the most promising for
gas or oil that has yet been found in any
well that has been drilled in this region.
Still, the drill had penetrated 1t to the
depth Of over fifty feet without any favor
able developments, and oil Saturday even
ing work WAS quit with the belief that the
well was a dry hole. Ga Monday morning
il was discovered that the we'll had hun
dred and eighty feet of oil in it. This was
an encouraging fact, and indicated tina: 1t
was good for at least ten barrels OF oil
day. and on this showing the drillers de-
cided to sink it little deeper. The
drill was lowered and the work went on
for couple OF hours without any unusual
demonstrations, when suddenly tsemen-
dous roar was hard, and in an instant a
stream of oil, sand, pebbles and gas came
pouring on. of the we'll and streaming far
up above the top of the derrick. The rush
OF gas WAS tremendous, and of course
within very few minutes swept the oil
and everyt thing else ont of the well, clean"
The roar of the we'll was heard a distance
of mile, and yet Cadiz seems dissp-
pointed in fading gas instead of oil, but
the Republican ssys enough of both hes
been found row TO show that somewhere
around here there ia splendid deposit of
oil. perhaps millions of barrels Of it, and
and it's quality is that of the very finest il
Illuminating oil-the highest priced and
best ILLUMINATING oil that has ever been
discovered in any oil field in the United
States. It's quaity is identical with that
of the oil found in Washington and Beaver
couDties, Pa, which sells at O premium
over all other illuminating oils.
