PENNED IN WITH A MAD DOG.
HUNDREDS OF GERMAN IMMIGRANTS
THROWN INTO A PANIC.

A Savage Bull Dog Attacked by Rabies In
New York Escapes From His Master
Crowd of Children Chnsed-Cornered
In n Room.
NEW YORK, August 29.-There was a
wild panic among the 300 or 400 German
Immigrants who were landed at the Barge
Office to-day fromIthe North German steamer
Lain. A large and savage-looking bull
dog was attacked by rabies in Battery Park,
and entering the Barge Office, which was
filled with immigrants, held the entire place
in state of siege for half an hour. Such q
scene was never witnessed there before.
The dog was first seen at 1890 o'clock
near Castle Garden. A tall, well-dressed
man was leading him by a chain. The dog,
large. powerful brute, with a savage-look-
ing face, at first appeared quiet enough and
attracted no attention. He stretched him.
self out at full length on the walk, but
seemed uneasy, and those who watched for
the few minutes that followed saw him be-
gin to froth at the mouth, growl and snap
at the iron supports of the bench near which
he lay. Suddenly he jumped to his feet.
The chain was jerked from the owners
hand, and, as it fell to the stone walk, the
dog, now thoroughly mad, started off at
terrific pace for a little group OF children
who were playing In the shadows of the
elevated railroad structure.
Some one shouted mad dog" as the brute
started away. and the little girls rushed
wildly away, while the animal suddenly
changed It's route, and dashed into the
Barge Office. Upstairs could be heard the
busy hum of voices as the newly arrived
immigrants filed past the desks of the clerks
Suddenly this hum ceased. Its cause was
the dog that now stood at the entrance ofthe
room, with bloodshot eyes and froth covered
mouth. He seemed surprised, and for a
moment stood still. Then be began to circle
about the room, while the frightened immi-
grants, not needing the commands of the
clerk. moved back to the room through
which they had just entered.
The clerks succeeded in pennipg the dog
into the room and piled chairs and desks
about the entrances to it to prevent escape.
The dog. exhausted by its long run, lay on
the floor painting, and policeman secured
it without difficulty and led it down stairs.
For few moments there was panic in the
building, but the immigrants were finally
quoted down and business was resumed.

OIL Notes.

MANNNGToN-The correspondent at
Warrington was in error stating that there
had been 66 wells completed in the Man
nington field. As there are only 13 produc-
ing wells in the pool this statement would
leave the inference that:the other 43 were
dry, when the facts are that only one duster
and one gasser is the record OF the field.
EAST BRADY-In the Hardscrabble dis
trict the Kangaroo No. 3 has been torpedoed
and the showing is for five or ten-barrel
we'll. Hart Bros. own the well and the
Risher Bros. drilled it to a depth OF 1852
feet in 145{ days, which is claimed to be the
best time in this neck o. the woods.

MiIIerstowu to the Front Ara,u.

MILLERsTowN-The excitement in the
new fourth sand Wiles district is still in
creasing. Many new locations have been
made and new rigs are starting. The ex-
tent of the field can only be ascertained as
developments progress toward the north and
east. owing to the number of dry wells, or
busters, on the west and south. 1t is now
generally conceded by practical operators
that the field will probably be second
Armstrong Run, as the gravity and color of
the oil and appearance of sand are similar
to that once famous field.
Titley s. Co.'s well No. was finished ata
depth of ], $40 feet, with a daily production
of $50 barrels from the lower paw streak, and
is holding up good. The well is over a
month old and is still doing 115 barrels.
Their No. 2, 200 feet east OF their No. L,
reached the first pay streak and commenced
flowing at the rate OF 300 barrels per day,
when drilling was suspended for the want
Of facilities for taking care of the oil. 1t
is expected that when the we'll is drilled
into the lower pay streak there will
be a material increase in the pro-
duction. Westermann Bros. & Co. have drill
ed one producing third sand we'll down to
the fourth on the south end of the Reep
farm and have increased its production IS
barrels; and are near the sand on their No.
on same farm. Hunter & Cummings have
also drilleed one of their third sand wells
down to the fourth ON the Kamerer, adjoin-
Ing the Reep, with an increased production
of 60 barrels. They have located a new well
80 rods north OF their producer. Westermann
& Co. have also commenced drilling on
their No. l, same farm. Sheffield & Co.,
on the Kamerer farm, east of Titley & Co.,
expect the sand in THAR M 1 on Saturday
The same company is also building two new
rigs on their lease. Showalter & Hartman
expect the sand on the Wiles by Saturday.
Titley q Co. are building four more rigs.
The field is located two and half miles
east OF Millerstown on about g 45degree line
from Armstrong Run developments. Owing
to the shallow drilling and nearness to rail-
road facilities, it will be desirable field In
which to operate.

Thorn Run Wildcats.

THORN RUN.-Finegan & Downing have
weighed anchor at Thorn Run, and are not
only hopeful, but firm in their belief that
they are destined to emulate the example Of
the veteran operator. 7. w. Phillips, at
Thorn Creek, and make Thorn Run as
famous as was ever Thorn Creek. The spot
they have chosen to revolutionize the world
of oildom is located two miles southwest
from Sewickly and about the same distance
southwest from Coraoplis These gentlemen
have we'll on Thorn Run which has been
reported dry, but, from all accounts, the
well has been plugged, and never been
drilled in. The parties are willing to
gamble that there is good oil here, and lots
OF it, and at no distant day the trade may
be greeted with a surprise. Mr.. Finegan
says Mr.. Phillips had the glory of opening
up Thorn Greek, but when he makes his ten
strike at Thorn Run the honors will be
about evenly divided. Mr.. Finegan did not
commit himself as to when the revelation
would take place, but the inference drawn
from his interview was that it will not be
long. That the faith in this territory is
backed by works is fully attested by the
fact that they have q rig built on the Mrs.
Nicely farm. one on the Wilson farm and
another on the McClinton farm, all of which
are located in the vicinity of their plugged
holes.

MOON TowNSHIP-The "stilly night
in Stowe, Robinson and Moon townships
isn't SO Silly these times. The chug-chug
Of escaping steam from drilling engines
sounds strangely up the lonely gorges and
glens which, until a year past, brooded in
almost primeval silence, especially up
Moon run, where Is months ago one could
almost conjure up the presence of satyrs and
other Hydrologic creatures. The best of the
rugged old oaks are being sacrificed to make
bed timber for oil rigs. and squirrels peep
feariully from their coverts, evidently won-
dering whether they are being served with
landlords notices to quit.
A great deal of nitro-glycerine is being
used in the wells these days. The Depp
No. 1, which is now about year old, and
which has a good record, had dropped down
to Is barrels production a day. She has
been shot, but had not yet been cleared OF
the debris yesterday. The Young No. 1, at
Forest Grove, has got her third dose. She
did not resume her !, 500 barrel flow this
time, but is said to be greatly refreshed by
the shaking up. One would suppose her
internal apparatus would be pretty well up
set by this time. The Robinson well at
CHARTERS was shot yesterday morning and
began flowing at a 1,500 barrel rate.
The Arbuckle No. ought to be a good
well to repay the trouble she has cost
When within Is or 20 feet of the sand where
the stuff was expected, the tools were stuck
and the fishing job has consumed enough
time to have suficed for the drilling of a
new hole. An attempt to cut the cable at
the sinkhar socket resulted in cutting it
some 60 or 20 feet above, and much trouble
was had TO get the remainder out When
the tools were grappled they could not be
loosened by jarring, and since then the
operators have been spearing. They had
gotten within three feet of the bottom Of the
tools yesterday, and in a few days more
hope TO be able to tell what the venture is
worth. This well is east of No. l and not
far from the big Robinson gusher.
The big snake at the Murphy well, on the
Nier farm, Montour Run, has been quiet of
late and the drillers are going down for an
other sand, which will not have so much
salt water as the Hundred-foot Some peo-
pie think there is no further use for the SER
pent's guardianship. and others think the
late cold snap gave it the rheumatism. The
party organized two Sundays ago to cap
ture it, has disbanded.

The production of Vsndergrift's Heiser No.
3 has also been considerably augmented by
q light shot, and a gauge last night indi-
Gated the well was making Is barrels an
hour. This increase of production, however,
is not likely to be maintained for any great
length of time, and in few days the wells
will settle back to their normal condition.
At the Arbuckle we'll No. 6, on the
Arbuckle farm, the contractor is having
hard luck. The well is on top the sand, but
further drilling has been stopped on account
of losing a bit in the hole, which will re-
quire several days fishing before it is re-
moved.
The Miller well on the Scully farm, is
producing some oil from the 100 foot, but
not enough to pay operating, and in eight
or ten days the drill will find the Charters
sand. On the Martin Cleves farm, J. M.
Gufey & Co., are drilling in the 100 foot,
with the hole full of salt water. This well
is an experimental venture, and is i'm
