OIL ON THE wANE.
Signs Of RecuperafiOn Not Visible to the

Signs Of RecuperafiOn Not Visible to the
Naked Eye.
The oil market kept up its reputation for
dullness yesterday. The opening was 1OS11S,
highest 1887. lowest 1885, closing l0S5s. Trad
ing was light at all points.
Having no other handle to work, the local
crowd tried TO make a turn by bulling the mar
ket up little in anticipation of the Pipe line
report, due to-day, but they had their trouble
for their pains
A broker said: There is nothing in the mar
ket. There is no business. There are no or
ders. Outsiders have deserted it as rats do
sinking ship. 1t is so Darrowsaud sensitive that
it bounces up on 1000 barrel sale. ITemem-
Der when a 100 900 barrel deal wouldn't move it
out its track. There is no oil to be had Every
body is afraid; the market has never been SO
discouraging as it is now''
The well on the Wilson farm near Leetsdale,
reached the ShRnnoDin sand at l,650. Drilling
will be continued 800 feet more till the gas sand
is reached. The Stephenson Oil Co.'s No. 2
well on the Ferguson farm, Shannopin district,
touched the sand yesterday morning and IL
showing for a 300-barrel well.
One of the greatest producers in the Wash
ingtOn field is the old Fergus No. !. which was
struck about two years ago. This well when
brought in commenced producing at the rate
of 200 barrels an hour, and SO great has proved
its staying qualities that up to the present time
it has put over 25Q000 barrels of oil on the
market.

A well-knOwn gentleman Of Sharpsburg, re-
siding on Eleventh street. and employed at the
extensive steel works of Messrs. Spang, Chal-
fant & Co., of Sharpsburg. has passed through
an eventful experience. His catarrh caused a
stuffed-up feeling about his nose and eyes.
The catarrhal secretion that dropped from his
head into his throat was SO tenacious and hard
to raise that in the morning it would often gag
him and cause HIM to feel sick at his stomach.
His hearing became dull, he took cold very
easily. had no appetite in the morning, and as
his food did not digest properly. gas formed in
his stomach. causing pain. He often felt dizzy
and lost flesh. He tried various treatments
but without success. He also used local treat
ments. but his disease gradually grew worse.
In this condition he began treatment with the
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti-
tute. 323 Penn avenue, and became cured by
their constitutional medicines, which are
always curative and permanent in their action.
He can be seen at either his residence or place
Of business, and will gladly tell anyone further
about his condition and cure.

SHOES IN HISTORY.

THE account of Moses and the burn. Ing bush gives an antiquity of over thYee thousand years to the shoe.
 SHOES, among the ancient Hebrews, were made of leather, rush or wool, those of soldiers being of brass or iron, with thongs.
 SHOES among the Greeks were made 70 high as to reach generally to the middle of the leg, and were often of gold and silk and other precious stuff.
 TIMES have changed since Sir Douglas Forsyth, the British envoy, was obliged to take off his boots before being presented te the King of Burmah.
 IN tha time of Chaucer the upper part of the long-toed shoes were cut to initiate church window. Signifying that the feet were on the path of right eousness.
 THE most gorgeous pair of shoes in history were those worn by Sir Walter Raleigh. They were covered with pre- cious stones, and were worth about $5O,- 900 of our money.
 A LEGEND exists that in 12s1 Q Chinese embassy of ten nobles and one thousand horsemen was put to death by osder of the King of Siam, because they Insisted on appearing in the royal pres ence with their shoes on.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Thomas Donahue, who was seriously injured by an explosion of primers at Winchester's armory, in New Haven, last August, has entirely lost hls eye sight. It was thought at one time that one of his eyes might be saved, but all hope of SO doing has now been aban- doned. Mir Dohahue was a we'll known all around athlete, and has many friends in Waterbury who sympathize deeply with him in his misfortune.
 Catcher Dillon of last seasons New Ravens, died at his home in Guelph, Ont, yesterday, from typhoid fever.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Organization Now Practically
 ASSnrad.

The Organization Now Practically
 Assured.
 The organization of state board of trade is said to be practically assured Major Barnes, secretary of the New Haven chamber of commerce, who is one of the prime movers in the matter has received replies from the boards of the other cities of the state and they are all ripe for union. Hartford. Bridge port. Willimantic, Waterbury, Meriden, New London and Norwich have return ed replies enthusiastically favoring the project.
 At the next meeting of the chamber Major Barnes will report concerning his correspondence with the other boards of the state, and the chamber probably will vote to push the project and to issue invitations to the boards of trade of the state, asking them to send delegates to New Haven for the purpose of forming a state board.
 A state board will be powerful, as if any city in the state has any favors to ask of congress the different boards of the state become a unit, and instead of a few gentlemen petitioning congress for the desire of their city there is a solid state board of trade which cannot fail to receive recognition.

Mir Sise consOli- dated in 1884 with MT Gibson who made skates at Birmingham, their capital being estimated at about S50,000 MT Sise says the trouble was caused by the unexpected refusal of an out-of-town bank, which had been discounting their paper to give them further accommoda- tion or renewal. The Barnes Manufac- turing company, lock makers of New Haven, Conn, of which MT Sse is treas urer and selling agent, is also financially involved and Mir M. c. Kellogg, of No ? Park Row, who is president of the company, has been appointed temporary receiver. The company was incorporat- ed with a capital stock of S1O0,OO0.
