The members of the executive commit
tee urged the strikers not to 60 back
until all were ready to go. The visit
of Mr.. Barry. of the state board of
arbitration yesterday, was referred to and
members of the executive committee reiterated
that it was not their fault the strike had not
been settled by arbitration. Members ex-
pressed the opinion that the board of trade
would not accept the proposition to ap-
point a committee of conference to meet
the weayers. Several expressed the
opinion that they might be will
ling to meet the members of the state board of
arbitration, but anything like recognition of
the weavers' union meets with the firm opposi-
ton of a majority of the manufacturers. They
insist. however. that there is nothing to arbi-
trate and before a conference can be arranged
the strikers must return to work. Most of the
mills will pay off tomorrow. Strikers will hold
a mass meeting on Saturday. The big struggle
is expected to come next week, when there
will be no wages coming in. The agents Of the
mills in Rhode Island and other states are
here engaging operatives.

The Government WILL Nor INrKRFKRE.-The
collector Of customs at New York recently
wrote to the Treasury department in regard to
the case Of George STREET., who was arrested in
August last for smuggling, and who was re-
leased on $500 bail. H recommends, in view of
streit's having paid the duty on the smuggled
goods and having given information as to what
customs officers were concerned with him in
the transaction, that the prosecution be dis
continued and that the $500 deposited as bail
be returned to him. Assistant Secretary May
nard has informed the collector that inasmuch
as the matter sought to be compromised is
purely criminal, the prosecution being by in
dictment, and the punishment by fine and i'm
prisonment, it is not competent for the Treas
ury department to take the course suggested
by the collector.

Not a Nuisance,

CASES AGAINST THE HACKMEN AT THE BALTI-
MORE AND OHIO DEPOT DISMISSED.
This morning in the Police Court Prosecut-
ing Attorney Shillington called Judge Millers
attention to the charges of maintaining nui-
sance against several owners Of hotel coaches,
as published in yesterdays STAR. The alleged
nuisance is at the stand in front of the Balti-
more and Ohio depot, where the coaches wait
for passengers. The cases were brought by
the hack inspectors, because the defendants
failed to remove the manure from the street
where their coaches are permitted to stand A
charge against Mr.. Allison Nailor was first
selected, and Mr.. Campbell Darlington entered
a plea of not guilty. Hack Inspector Quinlan
testified to the quantity of manure that col
lected where the coaches stood. The street. he
said, was not swept by the street-sweepers for
fifteen days and barrel of manure accumu-
lated. The defendants refused to have the
manure removed, and witness employed q col
ored man to sweep that part of the street. On
cross-examination witness said that from fifteen
to twenty horses occupy the stand at intervals
during the day. The case was argued by coun-
sci on both sides. The judge said that one
twentieth Of barrel of manure did not con-
stitute nuisance, and that according to the
testimony was about the amount that each
owner was responsible for. The case was dis
missed. MIR. Shillington entered nolle pros
in the other cases.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
BUTLER, September 9O.-There is wild
excitement among oil men and the farmers
over the gusher at Gallery Junction. Inc
we'll is located on the DR.. Irvine farm, about
one mile below Gallery, and fully three
miles in advance of producing wells. 1t be-
gan flowing at the rate of 800 barrels Satur-
day. There were several purchasers soon
after the strike, and Reed s. Davis finally
sold the well and 125 acres of leases to
Forst. Russell & Co. for SS5, 900. A cash
pavment of S., 900 was made, and the bal
ance was to be paid to-day. The sale has
not been closed, and there seems to be a
hotssm and jetsam of interests, with which a
number of lawyers are drifting
The well, meantime, has steadily increased,
and is now flowing 500 barrels day. This is
the history of the strike which illustrated the
rapid changes in oil region values. Some
msnths ago Gibson & Mcbride leased 25 acres
of wildcat land on the Irvine farm. They sold
an eighth interest to W. E. Reed, the lucky oil
man of Butler for derrick or rig valued at
S400 Another quarter was sold to Mrs.
Davis, of Piutsburg, for boiler and machinery
A few weeks ago a judgment was obtained
against Gibson & Mcbride for a small board
bill, an execution was issued, and the interest
of Gibson & Mcbride was sold at constables s
sale and bought by Lawyer Davis OF IltIS-
burg. Then Davis sold fve-sixteenths to w.
E. Reed. making the latter's entire interest
seven-sixteenths To a driller named Mcln-
tyre Mr.. Reed sold one-sixteenth Tor S2UO
Finally Reed and Davis made sale of the en-
tire working interest to Forst Russell d Co.
This morning Gibson appeared on the scene
and brought action of eiectment in Common
Pleas Court Butler county, for five-sixteenths
interest in the gusheT and the p acres lease on
when tits located. lie claims that the conStables
sale was irregular and did not divest him Of
his title. He has employed Colonel Thompson
and L. n1cQ uiston, while Reed q Mcintyre
have employed Judge McCandless, and Forst,
Russell & Co, have secured Greer & Raston.
A comprr Use was almost effected this after
noon. but there proved to he SO many conflict
ing interests that the lawyers are preparing for
court. The value of the property is now rated
at from S5O, ,OO0 to S65 OO0.
Gallery Junction farmers are so inflated that
they canscarcely determine what bonus to ask.
1t is believed that when the tocls are removed
from the well she will be the largest yet dis
covered in the hundred foot sand.

YOUNG LADY's SUICIDE,
An 1S-Year-OId Girl of Franklin browns
Herself in the Creek,


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcE.,
FRANKLIN, September 3O.-Jast night the
body of Miss Mamie Robinson, a beautiful girl
of Is years, was found in French creek, near
Venango Mills. in this city. An investigation
shows that the young lady committed suicide
after the most complete and deliberate ar
rangements. On Sunday evening she re-
quested her brother to meet her at the conclu-
sion of services of the Baptist church, but she
was not there. As she did not return after the
services, her parents went to her room and
found two letters one addressed to them and
another addressed to the friends of their
daughter. She told where her Dody would be
found.
She said she was alone to blame for her
death; that she was tired of life: that she had
never committed any act of which they need be
ashamed. and that she felt assured of com.
plete pardon. Miss Robinson was religiously
inclined and taught a class in the Eclipse
Mission Sunday school.
