The discovery in California of an
apparently large supply of oil less
than 800 feet from the surface may
have a considerable effect upon agreat
industry. If it should turn ont that
the supply is sufficient to warrant the
erection of pipe lines and refineries,
il might greatly extend the market
for our petroleum products in Eastern
countries. That it will have any
serious effect upon the price of the
refined products is not likely. But
II will have a decided effect in in
creasing the wealth of the Pacific
coast and in adding a new element of
variety TO the industries which its
people already possess.

II too often happens that lynch law
is administered not so much as a
vengeful punishment of crime and
criminals, but because of a desire to
express a condemnation of the laws
~inadequacy and delays. 1t is not in
frequent that Inch law is evoked not
because of a desire to override and
defy the law of the land, but because
the people desire a better and more
rigid enforcement of law. Thus it
appears, that while in the abstract
lynch law is to he condemned with
out stint, it must be looked upon very
often not a the result of the lawless-
ness of the people of a community,
but rather IS q result of the lawless-
ness of the law of that same CON-
munity.

a special train on the New York
Central road ON Monday beat the
the long distance railway record SO
thoroughly that no prior figures will
hereafter be talked about. The run
was from New York to Buffalo,
distance of four hundred and forty
one miles. The best time heretofore
for this distance on this or any
American road was at the rate of
forty-nine miles an hour, and was
made last year by the CentraI's limit
ed express. On Monday the run was
q little faster than a mile a minute.
for, although the minutes exceeded
the miles by five, there were three
stops aggregating fourteen minutes.

THE LAMB EPISODE.
A Sensational Scene on the Floor of the
Convention.

During the discussion of the motion to
hold an evening session occurred one Of the
most sensational scenes yet witnessed in
the Chamber of Commerce hall. The Ga
ZETrE has been on the floor of probably d
hundred conventions, political and other
wise. yet never has the reporter witnessed
d scene like that OF yesterday afternoon or
heard man so numerically scored as was
the case in the remarks of MIR. Moody in
regard to Mr. Lamb and his attitude. 1t
was a scdth.nC arrangement, and every
sentence cut like a whip, especially when
puuctuateu with the applause of the au-
dience
The motion to hold an evening session had
been put 10 the house ard was open for de-
bate. Mr.. Lamb rose TO his feet and said :

said Mr.. Moody. 1T is those who have
come to this convention in answer to the
call; it is for all those who are opposed to
sub-treasury and other schemes, and not
for those who are trying TO drag the Al
lance into third political party. II is not for

A CROP RUINED.
A Cloudburst Over i Hill County Mans
Farm Did Much Damage.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
HcBBARp, Hill COUNTY, TEX, July s.
Capt W. Fl. Wagley living five miles
southeast Of this place, was in town to-day
and reports the effects Of destructive hail
storm and waterspout that visited him yes
terday evening at 9 O'Clock. He says a
small dark cloud came up from the west,
and another one from the north and they
met directly over mis- farm and poured out
wind, rain and hail in great quantities.
Some of the hailstones were the size OF
hen-eggs, and cotton that was waist high
was literally beat into the earth Nothing
was left standing except about four or sig
inches of the stalk. The corn was Ieyeed
with the earth. The worst of the storm
was confined TO an area Of about one-ha!f
mile square. and he was the greatest
sufferer
The roaring Of the storm could be plainly
heard here Other parties in the neighbor-
hood suffered some from the effects OF the
WIND, but were not so badly damaged by
nail and water. The cotton crop Of this
section Is very promising, and fair corn
crop will be gathered A general rootsoak-
ing rain would be great benefit to this
section, as the rains have been partial. Lots

all other people to endeavor 20 make the
State Fair success.
The chief profits earned by II will accrue
TO us. In case il is largely attended these
will bc great. On the other hand. should
the enterprise fail TO meet public expecta-
ton and have few visitors the shame will
bc upon US.
Such considerations as these should in
duce our citizens to he more active IN pro-
noting the work Of the society. OF course.
oil Of US wish TO see a fine exhibition here,
but i, cannot be had without organization
and labor. and we should not expect the
society 90 do everything. Richmond ought
TO manifest her zeal and interest by as
surfing. on her part. a good exhibition.
This done q satisfactory attendance will
be secured. When the people Of Virginia
and adjacent States are informed that the
Fair IS worth seeing they will be prompt
enough 20 give it their preseace and
patronage.
Wesuggcst that our Richmond merchants
and manufacturers forthwith proceed TO
take concerted action to guarantee the
success OF the exhibition. Not to do so is
to leave ii largely dependent upon chance.
This is n great manufacturing city, and
those who come TO fairs here expect TO
see fine samples Of the products OF our work
shops. We owe it, then, 20 ourselves not 10
disappoInt them. This city in itself can
make an exhibit which viii be well worth
seeing.
Now. what we would like TO see would be

Of Commerce with instructions 10 ap-
prosch and urge our businessmen to con-
tribute exhibits TO the Fair. II each
house could be persuaded 10 do a little the
aggregate would be large. while the indi-
vldual trouble and expense would he

the interest We take in the Far, but would
act as "A stimulating influence upon outside

The Political Field.

The State Democratic Committee held q
meeting in this city yesterday. with large
attendance Of members. and the reports
from the several counties and districts, as
. whole. were encouraging.
TIE Republicans. however. are not mac
tive. From all quarters comes informa-
tion that they are at work attempting 10
fomout discord in our ranks and eD-
deavoring 20 create opportunities By which
thev may profit.
All OF the committeeman were disposed
10 regard Chairman MAHoNE's q" no-candi-
date - circular az a rl.sc 20 lull unsuspectlng
Democrats into false security. Indeed, IN
several sections Of the State Republican
legislative candidates are already in the
field. and are beng encouraged by promi-
nent northern Republicans 20 stay thore.
Hence ii was tho judgment Of our commit
tee that we should put no trust a. oil in
MAHoNE. but proceed 10 make our success
sure by organizing our party we'll. and by
making nominations Of such true and tired
Democrats ne VIII best satisfy the aims and
wishes Of their constituents.
The next session q the General Assem-
bly, among other things will he called upon
10 redistrict the State for members Of Con-
yress and FOR members Of the General As
sembly. and IL isimportaut that this should
be done by Democrats and not by Repuo-
lcsns
The committees meeting was such q
one as is usually held at tho beginning OF
each campaign. and no resolutions were
passed and no acton taken, but tho
effect of the conference Will be TO
encourage the work Of organization now
going on very satisfactorily in most drec-
tions. Our relations with the Farmers
Alliances were reported 10 be very friendly
Sn the great majority Of the counties, and
many of our nominees are men whom the

are liable to DO u uudcscIved harm.

of new cases and the number Of deaths.
Nothing is withheld. The wholetruta and
nothing but the truth is told, from which
it may be seen that though the disease has
been prevalent mere IN some localities 1t IS
now on the decrease What is more, the
cases that remain are Of milder type than

The sanitary condition Of the city is bet

good reason why the public schools should
not be opened at the appointed time.
