ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrA7cH.l
FARMINGToN, July 6.-The survey made
last winter, and which mystified great
many people at the time, has culminated in
the Standard Oil Company laying si1-lnch
pipe line from point in Greene county, fol-
lowing the boundary line between Mary
land, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to
Baltimore, or some other terminus on the
coast The idea is to get cheaper Transports
ton of oil from w estern to Eastern markets.
This is good boom for the sections along
which it runs, as the company are paying
literally for the right Of way and extra
good wages for hands. They are erecting
pumphouses every 80 miles, and will locate
one near Markleysburg.
This may result in testing this section, as
many believe that we have good oil terri
tory, and our geological formation certainly
proves this There is project on foot to
branch from Washington county past Farm

read the new law to the men to-day and
some of them said they wanted to ask
questions. Shortly after noon the convicts
began to veil, and as the day wore on the
noise increased in volume.
A great crowd gathered about the prison,
and learning of the cause OF the men's out
break evidently sympathized with them.
This brought out the police, who dispersed
the crowd. At midnight the
yells were still maxim the
night hideous. Some of theI lawyers
among the prisoners say that the law, having
no penalty attached, cannot be enforced,
and ask that they be allowed tol appeal to

ALBANY, July 6.-Mayor Manning has
become alive to the fact that the population
of Albany is not so great as she figured it
would be. To-day the figures for Albany
were sent out from Troy, where the
head Office of this district is. and the fig
ures are 10000 less than the police force
made in a census taken two years ago. Mr..
Manning became so exercised over the mat
ter that he sat down and penned a telegram
to the Superintendent of Censu US at WASH

This is what he burned the wires with:

LONDON, July 6.-Curiously enough the
Sultan of Turkey. who does not grow either
fat or lazy. as the Gar does, is confronted
by the serious hostility of the religious
classes, because he NEEDLES too much with
affairs of State. The Sheik ul Islam is the
leader of widespread conspiracy among
the Softas, who wish to dethrone Abdul
Hamid and dispossess his eldest son, Selim,
now 20 years old. and the Shereef of Mecca
is said also to he in the plot.
The Shelk is sort of prisoner in his
palace and numerous arrests are being made.

AMERICANS TO BLAME

English Social Life.
FORTUNES SPENT UPON TOILETS
No Abatement Of the Cholera Scare in
Southern Europe.
A VERY CURIOUS DISCOVERY IN SYRIA

LONDON, July 6.-The social season
which is now at its height has been the
most ostentatious and extravagant within
the memory of London. Its vast crushes,
its preposterous demands upon vitality and
time, and its prodigal scattering OF for
tunes, reminds one much more OF Paris
in the last days OF the Second
Empire than of anything one could imagine
as happening in the England. of the Vic
torian age. Oddly enough, one hears the
same defense advanced by the natives now
which Frenchmen gave then-that it is all
the fault of the Americans who come over
with enormous sums OF ready money, and
with this wealth and their superior boldness
captivate royalty and set impossible stand
ards of expenditure. Truth this week con-
tains a bitter complaint about the way in
which Americans are taken up by the Prince
of Wales to the prejudice of English ladies,
and this is only reflection of what is being
everywhere said.
Under whatever incentive, feminine
toilets have this year reached a hitherto un-
heard-of luxury of costliness. Natural
flowers have been entirely discarded tor
Imitation blossoms made OF jewels. At
State ball last evening Lady Brooks had
Nile green satin dress Velte0 Win
transparent white silk muslin all
sewn over with scattered diamonds
and having on the shoulders
epaulettes consisting of two big fish made
entirely of large diamonds with SPRAYS Of
smaller srilliants gushing from their mouths
down over her beauti ul arms. The Duchess
of Leinster had serpents of diamonds coiled
all over her bodice and others erect and
rampant on her shoulders. Chains upon
chains of these precious stones were about
her throat and arms.
Nolhing like it has ever been seen among
English women before. Although this is
the coolest and rainest summer within
memory, the dresses are cut lower than
ever under this new regime of luxury, and
skirts are pulled SO tight across the hips
that there is room for only single thin
silk petticoat, with the result that all the
West End physicians are doing . roaring
business.
