Operators Taking Up Territory as Far
Ahead OF Mcdonald as Wheeling.


Ahead OF Mcdonald as wheeling
PIrTsBuRa, September 11.--One OF
the results of the great Mcdonald oil
development is the unusual extensive
leasing of land which is now going on
in advance of operations. All territory
TO the northeast of the field has been
taken uD for some time, aud present
leasing operations are chiefly directed
10 picking up tho land ahead OF McDon-
aid TO the southwest. The desire to get
possession Of possible productive oil ter
rltorv is not confined to the land
Immediately in advance OF Nc
Donald, but all territory between
mat field and Wheeling, w. Va, has
come in the market, and is In demand.
A 45-degree line run from Mcdonald
70 the southwest will strike near Wheel
ing. and almost every available foot Oh
land between those points has Oeen
leased. or the leasing agents are now
negotiating for it. The distance Is
about thirty miles, and there are but
few farmers living on that long stretch
who have not been impOrtuned to lease
their land for various periods OF time
from forty days to ten years. BON
individuals and oil companies nave
taken up land in that region, ana
il is likely that there will soon De q
string of wildcat wells In operation
from Primrose to Wheeling. Inc
wheeling Natural Gas Company mas
many thousand acres OF land leased
both in Washington County, Pa, and
Ohio County, w. Va. Among others
who have leases in advance OF McDon-
aid are the well known oil trims, j. Nj.
Guffey & Co., Gibson x Jones, w. Il.
Mellon a. Co., Jennings i Co., Gibson
q Giles. and others. A wildcat well
has been located below Midway, one In
independence Township, another one
farther 10 the southwest on the eastern
edge OF Ohio County, w. Va, in Cross
Creek Township, aud still another is TO
be located in Liberty Township, Ohio
County, w. Va.
Nothing OF a startling nature happen
ed in the Mcdonald field yesterday.
The big wells still continue TO make
great deal OF oil, but the production
was not quite as high as the previous
day. The Elliott well Of j. NJ. Gutfey ~
Co. made about 5000 barrels of oil, and
the other gushers did not fall much be-
hind their usual record. The well OF
Valiles & LecOunt on the Short lot,
which came In more than month ago,
is still making about thirty barrels an
hour. The we'll of A. Garland & Co.,
on the Derry lot went through the fifth
sand yesterday and is no good In that
rock. This well is too far east for a big
lower sand gusher. The wells on the
Cook and George lots, belonging to w.
p. Black, have made connection and
SHOULD have got the pay in the Gordon
sand last night. The we'll Of Clark &
Bannister should get the fifth sand to-
day.

Close Pursuit of Train Robbers.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, September IL.
The rangers in pursuit of the South
ern Pacific train robbers have their men
almost completely hemmed in on the
Rio Grande. So close behind the ban
dts are the officers that yesterday morn
Ing, one Of the robbers horses, worn
out and painting, with great streams of
sweat pouring from his sides, was found
by the pursuers on the river bank,
where IL had evidently been abandoned
only a short time before. The robbers
continue to cross and recrOss the Rio
Grande. The officers, in disregard Of
international law, follow the trail into
Mexico. wherever it leads them. The
trail shows evidence OF at least eight
men in the gang. There are fifteen
rangers, and whenever they do overtake
the robbers there will be q bloody fight.

eXpressman's boy who had been up stairs
with baggage was arrested and brought before
Justice Kelly at jefferson Market He denied
the theft. When Miss Madge saw his pinched
white face her heart became too soft for oil
practical purposes. and with tears In her eyes,
she said:
,.oh, Judge. don't lock that poor boy up.
And when his Honor told the boy to run
along homo Miss Madae looked rs happy as
the boy himself. The days passed and she
forgot all about the ring The other morning
there came a letter from n Catholic priest OF a
wcll-known east side church. Had Miss
pratchatt lost a ring? the letter asked. II 80:

The dangers which threatened the coun-
try last fall were described In Mr.. CLEyE-
LANDS Cooper Union speech:
I'VE saw party planning to retain partisan ascen
dancy by throttling and destroying tho freedom and
integrity Of the suffrage through the radical and
reckless legislation.
I'VE saw waste and extravagance raidnE the public
treasury. and justified in oficiai places while economy
In Government expenditures was ridculed by those
who held In trust the peoples money.
I'VE saw the national assemblays OF the peoples
representatives transformed to the mere sembancs OF
alegisatve assembly by the brute force OF violently

rulings, while II was jeerinsly declared by those who

But why does Mr.. CLEVELAND say 1--WE" Z?
Did no see the Republicans attacking the
suffrage through the Force bin ? Did no
sec waste and extravaganza raiding 'le
Treasury? Did he see the nasty work OF
REED and ROwELL! II he did. why was no
silent when his particular friends Joined
hands with THOMAS c, PLATr to break down
the Democracy in this town? When tho
country was threatened by the Force bill,
and tho South especially was looking with
passionate hope for tho triumph OF
the Democratic municipal ticket in Now
York. where were Mr. CLEvELASD's eyes
When the hope and the duty OF every
loyal Democrat were directed to Democratic
