j. Sharp Mcdonald, Captain j. B.
Williams and others have struck oil on
Philip Fetter's place In Hayesville, opposite
Coraopolis, and few rods this side of the
eastern boundary of Sewickley. The we'll
is within strone's throw of Judge Overs
residence, but it doesn't appear that His
Honor has been thrown into convulsions
thereby.
From report it appears that some Sewick-
leyites are no more enamored of oil develop
ment than is DR.. Beacon of the morality
of driliers, but doubtless some would
find partial consolation in money for the
discomfort the turning of the beautiful
town into an oil field would cause. The
capacity of the we'll at Hayesville is not de-
termined, but the fact that preparations are
being made to bore another leads some peo-
pie to think at promises we'll.
The company which is preparing to oper-
ate at Imperial Is hampered in its oper-
ations by the refusal of contractors to sub
init estimates of cost while the roads are so
nearly impossible.
The wells between the Steubenville pike
and the Ohio river are still keeping up.
The Arbuckle No. 1 has shown no diminu-
tion in the last two weeks, and the Davis is
still making 250 barrels day, and nearly
dozen wells will be bored in its neighbor-
hood. The dep, on Montour run, is also
doing we'll.
Operations in the 1O0-foot sand in Butler

great amount OF activity before Grounding

THEY DESIRE A TEST.

The Board Of Underwriters Unanimously
Accept Chief Browns Offer to Try the
EngIues-AIlegheny Acts To.NighI.
The matter Of public test Of the merits
of the Amoskeag and Silsby fire engines
was taken up at the meeting of the Board Of
Underwriters yesterday afternoon.
There was good attendance of the board,
every member being impressed with
the Importance of the question. The
meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Wilson McCandless. The President
first read the letter of Chief Brown, asking
the board to take charge of test, and then
said that the question was open for discus
sion. Every member seemed to be of the
one mind, and that was, that such a test
would prove highly beneficial not alone to
the insurance companies, but to the cities
interested and the citizens generally. The
result was that the request of Chief Brown
was unanimously accepted and the matter
referred to special committee, which was
instructed to select a suitable man to con-
duct the test. The secretary was directed
to prepare letter to be forwarded to Chief
]. o. Brown accepting the offer.
Every effort will be made by the board to
have the test brought to q successful issue
at as early date es possible.
In Allegheny the subject has been dis
cussed thoroughly, and the majority of the
Northside residents are willing to stake al
most anything that the SiIsby engine, in the
event of test, will be victorious.
The Allegheny Fire Committee meets to-
night, when the subject will be given a
thorough discussion. There seems to be a
division of opinion among the members of
the committee on the question. Some of
them favor an immediate test, while others
hold that the city should not be put 10 the
expense of a test, as the engine builders are
to be benefited in the way of advertising,
and they should, therefore, pay for it.

WHY THE POOL COLLAPSED.
The Cleveland Wire Men Would Not Shut
Down Their Mills.

The Cleveland Wire Men Would Not Shut
Down Their Mills.
One of the prime pushers in the proposed
combination of wire nail and barbed wire
manufacturers, to be called the Federal
Steel Company was in the city yesterday.
On account of not wishing the fact to be
known that he was here, his name is with
held. He stated the reason of the collapse
of the proposed combination was on account
of the action of the Cleveland manufact-
urers, who would not go into the pool. The
combine wanted them to shut down
their plants, but they refused to do so.
They were promised share of the profits of
the pool, if they would help restrict the pro-
duction by not worksng their mills. The
Cleveland men said they could not afford to
do this as fhey would lose all their trade.
In the event of the Federal Steel Company
being disorganized, they would have to start
up again and try to secure new customers.
As compromise, the combination wanted
them to keep running on the manufacture
of wire exclusively and turn it over to the
company. The latter would barb it and
place the product on the market. The
Cleveland men thought it was a good idea,
but wanted it tried on some on else. The
price of wire nails has advanced 95 cents per
keg within the past three weeks. The cause
of this was on account of the advance in the
price of the raw materials.

ELOPED TO YOUNGSTOWN.

Miss Bertha Straub, of the East End,
Flies With n Young BOOkkeeper-
Await the Blessing in New York.
Another young couple of this city have
eloped to Youngstown and were married.
The following telegram from that city tells
the tale:
"a fashionably attired young couple ecame
TO the Todd House last Tuesday and regis
tered as E. J. Wood and wife. Camden, n.
J. They kept very closely to their room,
only leaving it at meal time. This. after
noon, as they were leaving the dining room,
they were met by young man, who spoke
in plain language, charging them with
clipping. Though the conversation became
very personal, no blows were struck.
1t was learned that the young man was
Gus Straub. The couple were his sister,
Miss Bertha Straub, and Edward G.
Letzkus, both of Pittsburg, they having
eloped. Mr.. Straub conducted them to the
Court House, secured a marriage license,
and then escorting them to the residence Of
Rev. DR.. Graft, waited until he saw them
legally married.
The groom is a bookkeeper with the
Barnes Safe and Lock Company, Third
avenue, Pittsburg, and the bride is the
daughter of a well-known real estate agent,
also located on Third avenue. The parents
of the bride seriously objected to the match.
The couple left here this afternoon, stating
they were going to New York and wait for
parental forgiveness.

AS TO THE OLD FIGHT.

Members Of the County Democracy Say IL Is
Mares Nest Discovery.
Under the head of 1.-THE Old Fight" an
evening paper intimated that the County
Democracy had their knives sharpened for
the Cleveland wing of the party in this city;
that tnotices of a meeting of the County Dem
ocratic Committee had been called for Sat-
urday; that no one seemed to know the OBJ
ject of the meeting; that it was a smooth
game played to raise a fog under which to
secure delegates for the State Committee:
that it would end in a row; that a set-up
would be made on Judge Bailey and that
McKenna would be nominated for Mayor.
and finally that although the undertow was
strongly for Pattison for Governor, boom
would be started for Wallace, and be would
probably get the majority of delegates from
Allegheny county.
This omnibus indictment was handed
around in the club room of the County De-
mocracy for review. There was no desire
manifested to discuss the feeling toward anv
particular candidate, though some expressed
partiality for Pattison for Governor. J.J.
Fox said: "We are all Democrats. We
disagree at times before nominations are
made, but the ranks are closed afterward.
and fine work at the polls and elsewhere,
and our work costs the County Committee
nothing. The call for the meeting on Sat-
urday is in accordance with practice, and
the rules made when Hays was Chairman
of the committee
j. W. Bremen, ESQ.,, stated that the call
for meeting on Saturday was regular. Mr..
Bremen also stated that he could name the
man who had furnished the story, but he
declined to name him, though several men,
bers urged him to do so.
The remainder OF the members present
assented to the exegesis given by Messrs.
Fox and Bremen, but there was no disposi-
tion manifested to discuss the chances Of the
several candidates named.

Vice President William Martin. of the
Federation Of Labor, left last evening for
New York to attend the meeting of the ex-
ecutiYe committee of the Federation to be
held in that city. Among other matters to
come up will be the strike Of the carbon set
ters of the Allegheny County Light Com
pany. Mr.. Martin refused to say last night
what action would likely be taken on the
matter.
President Gompers will take Q hand in it,
and movement toward a settlement will be
made. The eight-hour movement will be
talked of, and dates for meetings arranged
The employees of the Keystone Construc-
tion Company came out Yesterday. This
concern is controlled by Westinghouse,
Church. Kerr & Co., and does all the in
side wiring for the Allegheny County Light
Company. It is stated that notices were
served on other men working for companies
allied to the Westinghouse interests, but
they refused to come out.
Some Misunderstanding exists as to the
result of the strike. A great many persons
supposed last night that the city would
again be enveloped in darkness. There is
not the slightest possibility of this The
company have all the men they want, hav-
ing secured them in other cities. The dy-
namo men refused to strike when called
upon. Manager Blaxter stated yesterday
that the public need not worry. As far as
the people were concerned the strike
amounted to nothing.

CRUELTY MIsUsED.
An Allegheny Woman. whose Husband
Beat Her. In a Dangerous ConditIou-
He Has Abscouded, y

An Allegheny Woman. Whose Husband
Beat Her. In a Dangerous ConditIou-
He Has AbscOnded.
Mrs. NJ. Shoemaker, the wife Of stone
cutter who lives in house at the rear Of
No. 329 North avenue, Allegheny. is IN a
cell at the Allegheny General Hospital in q
very serious condition, suffering from in
juries which she claims TO have received at
the hands of her husband.
The beating was given last Monday even
ing, according to the story told by the
woman to Patrolman Kroll. The woman
was found in her house by some of her
neighbors. She was almost covered with
bruises To Patrolman Kroll she said that
she did not know why her husband had
beaten her. She acknowledged to him that
they had both been drinking when the quar-
rel occurred. The case was reported by the
officer, and detectives were sent from City
Hall to investigate. They found that Shoe
maker had disappeared. Search for him
since Tuesday has been unavailing.
Mrs. Shoemaker continued to grow worse,
and the reports that her husband had fed
from the city seemed to affect her more than
her bodily injuries. She became hysterical,
and on Wednesday afternoon some of the
neighoors applied at the Allegheny General
Hospital for her admission there. The physi-
clan in charge was not at the hospital at the
time, and there was an unavoidable delay
until late Wednesday night. The hospital
wagon was finally sent for her and she was
conveyed to the institution at about 10
o'clock.
She was placed in comfortable cot in one
OF the rooms. When examined by Drs.
1o ore1 IL
she was found to have been very badly mall
treated. On her neck were scratches and
ugly marks of bruises, made, DR.. Huselton
said, very evidently by the hand of some
person who was trying to choke her," One
of her eyes is blackened and there are sew
eral scratches and slight cuts on her head
and face. There are other bruises, caused
by blows or kicks, on several parts of her
body.
The woman's wounds were carefully
dressed. Shortly before noon she Jumped
out of her bed, ran to a window, threw it up
and was climbing out at the second-story
window with the evident intention of hurl-
ing herself to the stone pavement below,
when she was caught by one Of the nurses.
She became violent, and several persons
were required to hold her In her bed. During
the day she remained delirious, and it was
hnally found necessary to remove her to
locked cell, where she is now confined. DR..
Huselton says that her delirlum is probably
the result Of shock to her nervous system.
Her condition is considered very serious.
No information has been made against
Shoemaker, because the wife has not been
able to make one. If any of the Allegheny
officers lay their hands on him, however, he
will be locked up and held to await the re-
suit of his wife'sinjuries. Having absconded
from his home he is practically q fugitive
from justice.

done, but Of course it Will cost money. But
money is no object where human life is at
stake. The electric light companies have
three poles to one of any other institution in
the lower part of the city, and cannot for
the life Of me see why, when they can cable
electric light wires underground as have
seen them do in New York, they cannot
cable them overhead in Pittsburg. The
poetry in this is the fact that George West
inghouse is President of the Standard Cable
Company, which supplies the New York
companies, while he deems it impossible to
do the same thing in Pittsburg.
"As far as the city proper is concerned,
there are no dead wires on poles. In the
first place, it would be too expensive to waste
so much insulated copper wire. the only
kind we have used for four years, and in
the second place, we put up our wire with
rollers using the old wire to pull the new
one into place, so you see we have no use
for dead wires, as they are reeled up while
the new one gets into use. can assure you
that the companies holding dead wires will
have to remove them before very long"
ORDINANCES PIGEoNHoLED.
r. P. McGonigle, the member from the
Twenty-frst ward in Common Council, said
that he had introduced several ordinances
wires but put the live ones underground.
They were placed in the hands of the Com
mittee of Public Works and remained there
vet for all be knew to the contrary. The
question of underground wires was one that
should be decided without delay. The
Councilman could speak disinterestedly, as
the portion of the city he represented did
not suffer as much from the pole infiction as
the lower parts of the city. At the same
time he would like it to be understood that
the cable system was by no means q panacea
for electric evils. The wires would have to
go underground, and, as General Grant
said, being sure you are right the only way
to do is to 60 ahead.
The residents of Smithfeld street, between
Fifth and Sixth avenues, are a unit in con-
demning the overhead wires, the general
reason given being on account of the lack
of fire protection. They will probably pre-
sent petition within the next three weeks
setting forth their grievances and demand
ing redress.
