THE MOUNDSVILLE FIELD.

The Craig Hicks ioneer Producing Ten
Barrels Per Day.
The outlook at Moundeville and vicinity
for oil, is reported very favorable by ex-
perienced men who have lately looked
over the territory. Three wells we're
drilled by ]. W. Craig in 1856. One well
on ths II cks farm was worked as mys-
tery, is kept dark even now, and is be-
lieved to be making about ten barrels a
dsy. Another, one-half mile east of the
fret well, is quite strong gusher, and the
third well, two miles northwest was re-
parted dry, bat had it been wOT ked, 1t Is
believed by many that it would have been
a fair producer Spudding is in progress

acres of land with view Of drilling a

Company aud the Natural Gas Company ol
West Virginia are largely interested, and
have immense blocks Of land leased up.
The latter company has lately purchased
the leases on 1000 acres OF land from Park

oil bearing rock is found at 1926 feet, and
the oil is piped to the & & o K. K, where
it is shipped in tank cars. The oil produe

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Senator Faulkner Replies to the Council
Resolution.
About two weeks ago a resolution was
introduced in Council, and passed by that
body, expressing sympathy with Chicago
in her efforts to procure the Worlds Fair,
and advocating the claims of that city.
This resolution was forwarded 10 the Wett
Virginia representatives in Congress, and
yesterday the following reply was received
from Senator Charles J. Faulkner:
"UNITED STATES SENATE. I
WASHINGTON, ID c., Dec 10. 1889 /
"7hOmds +. 7hoHT, Esq, Clerk City Of
Wheeling:
"MY DEAR SIR: - Your kiod favor
enclosing resolutions Of the Council Of the
city OF Wheeling, iavoring Chicago "a the
place for the Worlds Fair in 1892, has
been received.
81 regret to say, that after full consid.
Grafton of this subject, feel that it is i'm
possible for me to concur in the views OF
the Council AZ to the place of the location
of said Exposition.
'First-It should be diyeeled of all
character OF mere commercial exposition,
for the bepefit OF any particular locality.
Ii should be national in its aims and pur-
poses, that all riyalries may be overthrown
and united support given TO it by the
people Of our country, and in its national
features strengthened by lis location in the
city that has the proud title Of being the
capital OF 65. 600, 600 Of people.
"SecOnd-The city of Washington has
within it's boundaries an exhibition,
worthy Of the admiration of the people OF
any country, sll or a majority of which
would hsve TO be transported, at the risk
OF the government, 10 any other point ~
wbi' h said Expedition might be located.
''Third-Many of the buildings that
would necessarily have TO be erected could
be utilized sfter the Exposition in reliey
ing the crowded departments of the gov
ernmeat.
Fourth If il is TO be controlled by
national law, no doubt or question could
be made if located on national territory
as to federal jurisdiction.
Fifth 1t Is to the interest Of the great
msj j1rity Of the citizens OF West Virgins
that 1t should be located at point easily
accessible to them.
For these and other reasons / could
assign, have felt constrained to advocate
the selection OF Washington above all
other points
Very respectfully yours,
"CHAs. J. FAULKNER." "

IMMORAL RELIGION.

Horrible Revelations CONCERNING the
Practices of IA New Sect.

esliug csse is being heard in the County
Court at Colorado Springs. Some months
ago James aud William Campbell made
application to the Humane Society TO have
their orphan sisters removed from the
founder of religious sect known as the
"Williamites. The testimony at the trial
shows that these people. who have founded
a community, have law among them for
bidding marriage relations. This, 1t is
clsimed, is for the purpose of keeping hsr-
mony and was freely admitted By all. The
founder of the community is married, but
the people Of whom he is the spiritual
