AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 7.-While tive
of the attendants in ward 9 Of the State
Hospital for Insane Criminals were Of
breakfast, leaving but two men in
cha5Sye, there was an outbreak of crazy
CONFLICTS. The ward is that devoted ia
the most dangerous men in the institu-
ton, and had about twenty inmates in
charge of four men.
Nine crazy convicts set upon the
keepers present without warming. The
keepers made valiant struggle, but
were overpowered finally, one of them
being stabbed twice under the right
shoulder blade. He fought desperately,
and has three cuts in the palm of his
right hand where he grasped the convict's
knife. Having overcome the keepers,
the convicts took their keys and opened
a passageway to the airing area. From
there it was easy to scale the low wall,
and away they went, nine of them, in
all directions.
Six Of the convicts were soon captured,
I. J. Arindel, reporter, caught Con-
vict McGraw, the most athletic and dan
gerous of the party, as he was begging
his breakfast of q widow lady. Tho
convict knocked Arindel down, but was
subsequently brought to bay by re.

A SECRET MEETING.
The Proposed Pittsburg Oil Refinery
Probably Discussed.
MONROE COUNTY'S LARGE GUSHER.
Its Advent Is Not Likely to Break the
Petroleum Market.
THE NEWS From THE VARIOUS FIELDS

The big refining plant spoken of in yester-
days DISPATCH as likely to be started
below Pittsburg soon. unquestionably had
significance in the meeting of the P. P. A.
last night at Franklin. Their deliberations
were held within closed doors, and the re-
suit of the meeting can only be conjectured.
1t is thought, however, that since the lead
ers of the P. P. A. were unsuccessful in get
sting the Burdick bill through the Legisla-
ture. they are quietly working on another
scheme. This scheme, from all appear
ances, looks like the big refinery spoken of
above.
A special last night says there were pres
ent at the meeting Lewis Emery, Jr., J. K.
Goldsborough and r. j. Straight, of Brad
ford; Roger Sherman, Titusville; ]. w. Lee,
Franklin; A. NJ. Cobb, Washington; 6. u.
Graham, Fairview; P. NJ Shannan and ]. W.
jamestown, N. Y. The same secrecy that has
shrouded the independent movement of the
past characterized the meeting at Franklin.
In few days The DISPATCH will have more
to say on the subject.
That Big Ohio Well.
The gusher reported few days ago in Mon
roe county has failed to develop into market-
breaker. AT thesfime OF Its advent 1t was re-
ported to be good for 1000 barrels day, with
chances on deeper drilling of being increased
half better The well is owned BY Pittsburg
parties who have secured a large amount OF
acreage in this vicinity, and are naturally max
ing all they can out of their investment The
well is five or six feet in the Berea grit sand.
The owners are putting up tankage and mak-
ing preparations for big well when drilled in.
The new venture, In its present status, is rated
from e5 to so barrels day. The character of
the oil is said to resemble that of the Macksburg
product, but darker and of an inferior quality.
