NO GUsHERs THESE DAYS.

Mr.. Logan is Rather Discouraged With the
Results This summer.
Mr.. Logan, formerly of Logan. Emery
& Weaver. oil men, went to Philadelphia last
evening. He is watching with some interest
the drilling of the we'll on the Alexander
farm, near Miller's Run, in the
CHARTERS field. Mr.. Logan stated that
this we'll will show just how far the Char
tiers field extends into Washington county.
For some distance between CHARTERS creek
and Canonsburg the coal drops down, and
no oil is found in this section. He thinks
the fluid was lost by the dropping of the
strata.
Mr.. Logan says the Washington field has
reached hard pan, and none of the wells are
producing much. The Allegheny territory
bas not come up to his expectations either,
and he believes that more money Is being
put into the ground at present than is taken
out. The field is too spotted to be worked
with any degree of certainty. Mr.. Logan
says he is now boring two gas wells at Nc
Donald station. Not long since he brought
in paying we'll at that place.

SANCTIONED BY THE OFFICIALS.
The Carbon Iron Works Regularly Barred

The Carbon Iron Works Regularly Barred
Out by the Amnlgamnted.
The Amalgamated Association last night
gave its sanction to regular strike against
the Carbon Iron Works. The scale was
presented for signature, but the company
would not agree to it. The strike of week
ago was preclpitated by the employment
Of colored help at less than the scale rates.
the following document was issued:
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers of America:
We, the members of Invincible Lodge No.
bZ, who have been on strike for about seven
weeks, during which time we have done the
best we could to settle our dispute, have made
concessions on our part which were refused by
the management. We have asked Mr.. Lash If
ne would offer us some proposition looking to
9 settlement of the difficulty, and he has re-
fused. On one occasion, in company with
Vice President Florence Sullivan, we
called on Mr.. Lash, asking him to show
us Dy figures that we were incons1stent
in asking our price, and he refused. On an
other occasion our National President, Mr..
settle the matter, but without success. On the
18th inst. as the result of meeting OF our
lodge, we sent a committee to ask MI. Lash II
he would agree to O conference. rms ne also
refused, and also any further negotiations on
the subject. These Intellectual efforts on the
part Of our lodge have been laid before the Ex-
ecutive Board. which, at meeting this eyen-
ing, sanctioned strike. The Carbon Iron
Works are, therefore, struck works. and all
honorable men will keep away from 1t.
This determination on the part of the
Amalgamated officials was announced so late
last night that any effort to hear the COM
pany's side was futile.

masons of the United States for conven-
tion to be held in Baltimore on the 9Th of

Stonemasons' National Union OF America
may be formed. A circular has been issued
which says:
The necessity of such a convention, to con-
soidate all unions of the craft into one body,
was never more apparent than now, and any
failure on the parr of our craft to take advan.
tage OF the present opportunity, will lessen the
chances Of success in the future. We, there
fore, earnestly hope that every union OF stone
masonS will take immediate action on this i'm
portant move, and will serd delegates to said
convention, IN order that intelligent and united
action may be secured. All delegates will as

A SERIOUS SALOON FIGHT

In Which C. l.. Boggs, a WELL Known
Mt. Washing oniau, Was Not Shot.
A row took place yesterday evening on
Boggs avenue, Mt. Washington. in which
several men were severely injured. The
fight is said to have started in or about the
saloon of Fred Fuchs, but for what cause no
one appeared willing to say. After the
affray was about over, G. L. Boggs and
another young man, who had been specta-
tors. started to walk away when Boggs was
struck on the arm by beer glass that came
crashing through the window OF Fuchs sa-
loon.
They turned and went into the place, and
as the glass appeared to have come from the
direction of the proprietor, tkey approached
him to ask an explanation. He did not give
them chance, however, but according to
their story, he drew a revolver, at sight of
which they turned to leave with consider
able haste. Their speed was increased by
hearing a shot fired. More would have
followed had not bystander, a friend OF
Fuchs, interfered and captured the weapon.
Boggs subsequently appeared before
Magistrate Succop and made informations
against the would-be shooter, charging him
with assault and battery and felonious
assault. A warrant was issued, but he had
not been arrested at midnight.

WHY EXPRESS MEN ARE MODEST.
They Never Flatter Themselves When

They Never Flatter Themselves When
Things Are Running Smoothly.
"Have you unearthed any schemes, of late,
calculated to cheat the express companies2"
was asked yesterday of NJ. E. Valiant
agent of the American Express Company.
"No," he replied, 'but then never like to
fatter myself. You can't tell how soon
something may happen that will make your
life weary for the time. I used to work in
the General Superintendent's office. For
quite period, once, remember we hadn't
any trouble of any kind, and one day I
spoke to the Superintendent about how
smooth everything was running. Hush.
he answered, quickly. Say nothing
about it; don't fatter yourself too soon,'
and sure enough the next week something
went wrong, and we had lively time.
SIT is a pretty hard thing to keep 5000
Offices in line and in good running order.
There are always some black sheep to be
found, and the manager is a man who
doesn't sleep on bed Of roses. The bust
ness out of Pittsburg for July increased 40
per cent with me. Quite number of iron
shipments were made. I suppose the man.
ufacturers had the orders to fill at certain
time, and it was necessary to rush things.
The shipments into Pittsburg hold their
own, with no signs of much improvement

ONLY A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
Teacher Relates n Funny Incident About
Little Miss.

Teacher Relates n Funny Incident About
Little Miss.
This story was overheard at the Central
Board rooms, and was told by one of the
local lady teachers. Last winter she had a
bright little miss in her school, who, when
she came to a double letter in word, in
spelling, always named the letter twice. If
she were spelling ''see" she would say See, "
instead of "s-double e."
The teacher worked long and hard to
break up the habit, without much success.
One morning she called on the little girl to
read. It was the same old lesson that every
schoolboY remembers, running like this:
up, up, the sun is out and shining bright, "
etc.
This was the little maiden's opportunity,
and she was going to show her teacher that
she understood. So she said: "Double up,
for the sun is out and shining bright, etc. +"
1t brought down the school, and every child
present Joined in the laugh. The children
took it up, and often greeted each other with
the question, "What time did you double up
this morning?" The teacher lau ughed heartily
as she recalled the funny incident.

supervision of Warden Berlin and Deputy
Warden SoffeI, who are assisted by matron
and five watchmen. These officials are ap-
pointed and their duties laid down by the
County Prison Board, which consists of the
six judges of the Common Pleas Courts, the
three County Commissioners. the Sheriff,
Controller and the Mayors OF Pittsburg and
Allegheny. Judge Ewing is the President
of the Board. The Jail officers are assisted
by trusted prisoners who act as as range
men, and are held responsible for the good
order OF the cells under their charge. Each
rangeman looks after 12 cells. There are at
present 300 prisoners in the Jail.
The chief features of the jail are its clean
illness and quietness. Twice a week q
gang of tramps are put to work with hose
and mops, and the inside and outside of the
institution is scrubbed. About every week
the cells are flooded and the walls washed
down. The officers see that peace reigns
within. If a prisoner gets noisy and re-
fuses to obey the rules he is quickly placed
in padded dungeon, where he may yell
himself hoarse without annoying anyone
else. There is a delightful air of peace
and coolness about the interior of the Jail
on a midsummer day, which is peculiarly
refreshing to visitor who has just passed
There is no doubt, if it were not for an old
fashioned prejudice against prisons, many
good citizens would get themselves COM
mitted for short terms during the dog days.
A man would have a better chance to re-
cuperate his lost energies there than at
many noisy, crowded seashore resorts.
The bill of fare is very simple. Every
morning each prisoner is furnished loaf
of bread and big tin cup OF coffee. On
Sunday he receives nothing else, but on
Monday, Tuesday and Friday he is given
meat and potatoes for dinner, on Wednes-
day and Saturday soup, and on Thursday
that great American mystery, hash. In the
winter sauer kraut and pork is furnished
tor Tuesdays dinner.
WHISKY SMuGGLERs.
Prisoners awaiting trial are not confined
to this fare. They may purchase dainties
from the outside ii they have the money, or
they may receive food from such friends as
do not forget their existence. One of the
most stringent rules of the institution is that
no prisoner shall be allowed to receive
liquor, and many attempts are made to
evade this regulation, but without success.
Every meal sent into a prisoner under
goes a rigid examination. Sometimes
bottle of whisky is concealed in a pie
or loaf, or placed in the bottom OF a can of
coffee. Occasionally the coffee itself is
three-fourths whisky. 1t never reaches the
prisoner, but is thrown away. Many pris-
oners, when brought to the Jail have bottles
of whisky with them, but they are always
relieved of the liquor before being placed in
a cell.
No visitors are allowed to see prisoners on
Sundays, but on other days they are admit
ted between 10 A. NJ and 3 P NJ The daily
