Prospectors for Oil Burning Down u
Town to Sink Wells.
TOLEDO, o.. July 3O.--A most extraor-
binary condition of affairs prevails at
Bairdstown, an oil village on the Balti-
more q Ohio Railroad, about 270 miles
south of this city. It has had
five incendiary fires within week,
and every business house has
Detn destroyed. The alleged
cause is that some time ago the authori-
ties passed an ordinance forbidding the
sinking of any gas or oil wells within the
town limits. The men who were hold
ing town lots at big prices, hoping to
sell them to Oil men, thus found their
aspirations checked. Remarks were
made that "what is below the
ground Is more valuable than
what is above it." The idea that a sec
ton Of a community, as is intimated,
would SO deliberately set to work and
burn town with view of converting
the site into oil producing territory is
something SO singular that one can
scarcely believe it to be possible, and vet
this statement is publicly intimated by,
citizens Of the destroyed village. A C;n-i
cinnati detective named Burkett went
there few days ago and soon declared
spiracy to burn the town. An
indignation meeting was held, and
the excitement became so intense
that a scheme was started to lynch him.
Therefore on Monday night be was
taken from the jail and taken to the
woods, where rope was placed around
his neck. 1t is claimed that the object
was simply to frighten the fellow, but
Mayor Nusbaum reached the scene of
the lynching none to soon, as the young
fellow was even then being Gifted"
Half dead with fright, he begged pit
eously for mercy and promised to leave

RUIN AT SENECA FALLS.
The Thriving City Swept by Disastrous

Inc thriving City Swept by a Disastrous
Fire.
SENECA FALLS, N. Y, July 30.-Most
OF the commercial portion of this pros
porous little city was swept away to-day
by a whirlwind of flames which started
before daylight in the Pew Block, a
verltable fre-trap, condemned half a
dozen times, and fed on the most hand
some business buildings in the town.
The flames covered an area of fifteen
acres, and the loss is approximately
placed at 81 100000.
Shortly after O. clock the Pew build
ing. which was directly opposite Hoag's
Opera House, on Fall Street, began to
burn, and in few minutes the entire
structure was on fire. The building
where the fire started was APP
proachable from but one side,
and the atmosphere quickly became
SO hot that the fremen could
not endure it. The splendid Phoenix
Block, involving the electric light plant,
the electric railway plant, the post
office, express office, the Reveille print
ing establishment, the Courier, Sander
sons furniture warerooms, and the
Western Union telegraph Office, sue
cEmbed to the flames, and within four
hours fifteen stores east of it,
to the Sheldon Block, were wiped
out. The flames sprang across
the street to Hoag's Opera House
before an hour had passed, and that
was consumed with all of Fall Street on
that side east to the Sheldon Block,
while on the north side, the Cooper
alive Block was the limit. On State
Street the flames extended to
and included Kellogg's livery stable,
but all of his stock was saved,
On State Street the fire Tapped up the
Hudson House and blacksmith shop,
Georges barber shop, Harnesses store,
the Norcott Block, including Combers'
liquor store, Halls cigar factory, Han
mas secondhand store, Chinese laun-
dry, Demson's shoe shop, Kellogg's liv-
cry stable and the two rear houses next
thereto, where the fire is now limited
All three newspapers are burned out
and the telephone service is suspended.
The Western Union Company is doing
business at the railroad station. The
Gleason & Bailey Works were on fire
several times, but the flames were kept
down with but little injury. The fire
was under control at o'clock this
morning, but soon broke out anew in
Tedman & Gladke's dry goods store,
which is now burning.
The sufferers, with some approximate
losses on real property, are given be-
low, there probably being a fair average

Indictments for the Breaking of the
BO&gy Bayou Levee.


ARKANSAS CITY. Ark, Aug. 1t has
been known for several days that the
grand jury Of this county was investi-
eating the case of men who cut the
Boggy Bayou levee, fifteen miles above
here, on the 9Th of April. Yesterday
there was considerable of sensation in
the court room when that body brought
into court and filed twenty -four true
bills. Warrants were at once issued,
and, while none have been re-
turned as yet, it is understood
that these indictments are against
the levee cutters. It will be
remembered that the work was done in
broad daylight by citizens of Red Fork
County, who believed that the levee at
Doggy Bayou damned the water upon
them, and thereby augmented the dam
age of the flood. 1t will be insisted by
the defendants that Doggy Bayou is a
natural outlet, and that under the laws
of the state it is of no offense to cut a
levee at it's natural outlet. The offense
is felony under the laws of the state.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug 1.-The oEAl-

the Post-office Department, upon which
was based the order excluding from the
mail Count Lyof Tolstoi's book "Kreutz-
er Sonata" is addressed to Third Assist
ant Postmaster-General Hazen, and is
as follows:

titled ''kreutzer Sonata offered for
mailing at the postoffice at Chicago, ILL.,, as
matter of the second class. After a care
full examination of this publication | am
of the opinion that it is of an Indecent
character" hence it is forbidden circulation
in the mails by the act approved Septem-
Der rs, 1888.
Upon receipts of this opinion an order
printed in the usual form was sent to
the postmasters at Chicago and New
York, directing that the book be ex-
Guided altogether from the mails. Post
master-General Wanamaker said that
the paragraph published in the morn
ing papers was the first he had heard of
the matter. In the regular order of
business it would come to his attention
only on appeal. 1t is believed that an
appeal will be taken.

PANAMA, July 25.-The only intelli-
gence concerning canal matters that has
been received is to the effect that the
negotiations with the Colombian gov
eminent are going ON smoothly. Mean
time Lieut.. Wyse's engineers are push
ing on their preparations here for
an early resumption of work. Their
careful examination of the condition
of the plant has resulted very satisfac-
torily, everything being in as good, if
not better, preservation and order than
could have been reasonably expected.
The greatest trouble and delay in re-
commencing work will, therefore, not be
due to the condition of the plant but of
the works, which are covered over COM
pletely by Natures green mantle.
