The selection of men to run in the hose team at Phenix ended rather dis
 astrously last evening for two of the boys, and the District Court will be called upon to make final settlement. Yesterday morning list of nineteen
 names WAS published in the DAILY EPITArH, from which twelve were to
 be selected. Nearly the required number were chosen. and 1t was de- cided to select the remainder from
 those who were the fieetest runners. Accordingly they adjourned to Tough nut street, and after the race the ques- ton arose of allowing base ball play CTS to form part of the hose team, al though they were tiremen in good standing. The discussion was short and very much to the point between M. c. Crowley and Will Baron, and they were arrested by Officer Hatch, who was present, and taken to the Police Court, where they were charged with fighting. MT. Baron pleaded guilty and was fined S5 and costs. amounting to $l0, which he paid and was discharged Nr Crowley refused to plead, stating that His Honor wa. present at the difficulty and was prej- udiced agsins, him. His Honor i'm posed the same fine and costs as on MT Baron, and Nr Crowley gave mo- tice of appeal and was committed to the care of an officer to secure an at torney and bondsmen. He gave bonds in the sum of $50 for the Police Court, and the necessary papers for an appeal to the District Court will be filed to-day.
 MT. Baron says that an argument of this kind is rather expensive, as he only get in a couple of blows, and B a lick isn't as much fun az 1t Is cracked up to be.

OiI-Country slang.

The oil business has II nomenclature
peculiar to itself, says a Titusville
(Pa.) correspondent of the Pittsburg
Commercials Gd9ette. The region has
its own slang, ut least one phrase of
which has drifted into general usage.
He's got the sand" as synonym
for nerve, had it's origin in the oil
country. In an oil-well everything
depends upon the sand. The sand'
is the rock in which the oil is found,
and on its quality depends the pro-
duction of the well. If no sand is
found the well is at once abandoned.
IF the sand is good-that is, of a coarse
texture-thc well is more than likely
to be Il good one, but if the sand is fine
and hard it is sure to be small well,
if not an utter failure. Therefore, the
important question when II well is be-
ing finished is, "has it got the sand"
Hitting her jugnlar" means to
strike well that flows immediately.
"a duster" is dry hole. and about Is
per cent of all the wells drilled are
busters "A spouter'' is flowing well
and "roarer" is a large gas we'll.
When a .'duster" does not express an
operators contempt for Il dry hole he
calls tia stinkcr;" and us dry hole
meaus the loss of from $4,000 to $10,-
900 the latter term is much the more
popular of the two.
"Spudding" is term used for drill
ing when the we'll is just started.
After the hole is deep enough to cover
all the tools it is called drilling. The
drilling tools of any well consists OF
several pieces screwed together, and
hence are called "a string of tools. v
An operator never says there are twenty
wells drilling in Il certain district, but
''there are twenty sets of tools run
ming" THE big hole" means that
part of the hole drilled before the cas-
ing is put in. Shooting well' is the
process OF exploding Il torpedo in it to
increase the production. The 'bulI
wheel is an important part of the
drilling machinery of n well. around
the large wooden shaft of which the
drilling cable is wound. The ''sand.
pump" is IA valve about six feet long
that is run into the hole to pump out
the drillings. The "bit" is simply the
drill, and the ''reamer" Is the too
which is run into the well after the
drill to make the hole uniform.
/ "A fishing job" is to hunt in the hole
for lost tools, and this is Il distinct and
! important part of the business. Fish
| ing has become an art. There are l0C
different and curious varieties of ''lish
ing TOOLS" IL peculiar one for every
part of the drilling appliance that may
| be lost There are men who make {
business of Fishing" and their skill il
securing tools lost ut as great deptl
az 1000 feet is one of the amazing
things of peculiar industry. Th'
'whitc sand pools" are districts where
the oil sand is white and full of pebbles
The oil produced in these commands /;
premium of % cents above the market
and is known as ''premium oil" Al
the Pennsylvania districts are "whit
sand districts" except Bradford. TIL
Bradford sand being of dark color
it is known as 1.-THE black sand dis
trict." The oil is inferior, and doe
not command premium. In drillin:
we'll the drill is turned round ant
round, and II driller is known as
''iunk-twister.'

A LAWYERS Honest Opinion.

John II. Morrison practiced law
many years ago at Findlay and ali
through that section of Ohio. He had
some striking peculiarities, which were
in the habit of cropping out in court.
He was once trying case before Judge
Patrick Henry Goode and jury, and
opened his side of the case as follows:
MAY ii please the court: By the
perjury of Witnesses, the ignorance of
the jury, aud the connivancc of the
cuur., expect to lose this ease"
What is that you say, Mr.. MOrri-
son?"
That is all have to say on that
point, and the court will feel happier
if do not repeat what | have altead V
fer that they would rather not have
heard it once"
Morrison, Ivy the way, must have
been relative of the Hooking Justice
who rcpleyincd the woman, for on one
occasion he got out writ of replevin
for child whose ownership was in
dispute between the parents, who had
separated. But appraisers couId not
fix valuation on the child. One set
of appraisers after another was called,
but none of them could decide what
the child was worth. Finally the
officer in charge of the writ returned it
in disgust.
There" exclaimed Morrison, ''there
goes my case. 1 could repleviu Satan
himself out of the Internal regions if
l could only get somebody 10 put a
valuation on him!'-C Cincinnati En-

A Revolving Russian Superstition

A curiosity of unpleasant peasant
superstition has just been revealed at
trial in Southern Russia, which end
ed in the conviction of four peasants
for the murder of a girl eleven years
old. The superstition recalls that
about tie thieves and the candles
narrated in connection with the White
chapel murders. These peasants, it
seems, were believers in the supersti-
ton that candles made of human fat
rendered the bearers invisible. To OBJ
tain these articles they first attempted
to murder boy in the forest and next
tried to kill an old peasant; thirdly. a
Russian clergyman, and being dis
turbed on all three occasions at last
succeeded in numbering Sukeria Cher
kaschina. With the fat from the child's
body they made candles, and with their
help attempted to commit robbery.
The light of the candlesbelrayed them,
which seems IL singularly just happen
ing, aud on being arrested they CON
fessed everything. The evidcnce in
court showed the belief in the thieves
candle superstition to be very wide
spread in Russia Fhi!ddelphiI Press.

A GeOlOgicaI Curiosity.

There lay this morning on the desk
of Mr. Samuel Hodgkins acting chief
clerk of the War Department, a stone
wrapped in brown paper. 1t weighed
about pound, and was perhaps thir
teen inches in length, two and half
in width, and one-third of an inch
thick. On picking it up from the desk,
when his attention was called to it, a
Star reporter noticed that it bent
slightly at the ends. and had the feel
ing of an elastic substance. On re-
moving the wrapper, however. it was
seen 10 be a hard, compact piece of
sandstone. of light yellow color. with
the ends cut to points. The texture
of the stone was fine and presented no
evidence of qualification. and was
smooth over the entire surface. A
knife blade made no impression on
the particles. There was no doubt as
to its being genuine stone, but it, nev-
ertheless, possessed the fiexibility of a
piece of india rubber. When taken in
the hand and shaken in the direction
of its flat surfaces it would bend back
and forth with dull, muffied sound.
The movement was more of a laxity in
the adhesion, apparently. than an
elasticity. When held horizontally by
one end the other would drop and re-
main in that position. With the two
ends supported ON rests. the free cen-
ter could be pressed half an inch be-
low the middle line. With one end
held firmly on the desk the other could
be bent upward over an inch. The
movement was not confined to the one
directiOn-in the plane of the fiat sur
face-but the entire stone seemed to
be constructed on the principle of a
universal joint, with a movement per-
ceptible in all directions under pres
sure. This stone was given to me
by ii friend" explained Mr.. Hodgkins.
''who is lover of curious things. He
told me that it came from mountain
in North Carolina and bears the name
of flexible sandstone. The entire
mountain is composed of this material
and pieces cut at random exhibit the
same flexible properties. have never
heard of any use to which it has been
put. 1t is quite strong and stands
considerable pressure in bending it. In
fact, do not know how strong it real
ly is, for have hesitated about trying
to break it as it is the only piece I
possess. | have tried, however, to
break off the point by the pressure of
my fingers, but have never been able
to do it. l consider this one of the
wonders of geology. 1t is Il natural
production that man has never been
able. with all of his art, to initiate"

On Fortunes Flood Side.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is
just moving into an elegant new house
she has recently purchased on Massa-
chusrtis nv 'ruc, III Washington. and
is fitting il un in the most sumptuous
manurr. as she can well afford To do.
Mrs, Burnett probably earns more
money ;iran any woman in. the world,
and gers n higher price for her work.
Her income this year will he from
$50, 900 To 500 900. In the first place
size receives Il percentage of the receipts
FROM he play nf Little Lord Fauntle-
rov.F wh'ch is now being presented by
four "nmnanis III England.and one in
the United Safes. and two more are
being organized TO travel in this
country. Her weekly revenues from
the play in England vary from $500
to 81. 200, and from the managers of
the Broadway Theatre, in New York,
she gels about $500 week. Fifteen
hundred dollars ii week is not an cx-
aggerated estimate of her receipts from
this play alone. while her revenues
from the sale of the book are large.
Seventv-lve thousand copies of Little
Lord Fauntlerov" ave already been
sold, and The publishers say they can
not print them fast enough to supply
the demand. An edition of 10000
copies was placed in press the 1st of
December, and all were sold before
they left the binders Lands. From
this she receives 20 cents copy,
which leaves the aggregate nota small
sum. Then Mrs. Burnett has been
paid $4,000 in advance by the Mcclure
syndicate for a serial story that is just
half finished. and has received
retainer of $1,000 from the New
York ledger for another serial, to
be delivered before the 1st of July.
when she will receive $4,000 more in
full payment. Thirty thousand dollars
for stories unwritten and $4,000 from
her plays during the coming year is
not an exaggerated estimate of Mrs.
Burnett's, income. She is receiving
propositions from publishers constant
ly which she is compelled to reject,
and has also applications from lecture
bureaus to take the platform, but she
is too timid for this sort of work and
has no taste for it. Last week she re-
ceived an offer of $1,000 a week for
eight weeks from prominent lecture
bureau to read extracts from her works.
Mrs. Burnett has just signed con-
tract to edit a children's department
for syndicate of newspapers for
which she is to receive 81 500 a year.-
