ALTON, Ill, jan. 26.-In the little
town of Newbern, twelve miles from
here, George Harris lies IN sick bed
from which he will probably never rise.
Last night closed the twepty.nintb day
Of his fast, with the determined man
still alive, but be is lingering in Coudi-
tion OF the most ghaStly weakness, stu.
por and emaciation. The entire com.
munity is wrought up over the case and
Harris friends and relatives are trying
every effort TO save him from the awful
form OF self destruction he has 80 des.
perately chosen. From his appearance,
however, Harris has passed beyond the
hope OF rescue, and it is almost certain
that he must soon die from the trighttul
effects OF combined starvation and in.
curable disease, under which he is now
sinking. When death does come 1t will
marx the close Of probably the most
grim and stubborn march to the grave
ever made voluntarily bya man tired OF
living.
Harris has been a hopeless invalid TO-
some time, and on December %, he an.
nounced his determination to starve
himself to death, and has not tasted
mouthful Of food since. He first refused
water also but was told that thirst would
make death horrible in the extreme, and
he has cons MED to drink little water
daily. Since that day not morsel OF
food has passed his lips. Harris is Of
ucod family. well known here and hat
relatives in high standing in various
parts OF the State. He is o Tennesseean
by birth; having been born in that
State in 1S47.
The scene at the house of his sister,
Mrs Dow, with whom Mr.. Harris has
resided for number Of years, is .ont
that can never bs forgotten. Friends Of
the desperate and obstinate man have
been gathered about him all day yester.

D. Filson, Of this city, says tho steu
benville Star, has secured leases and
options upon 325 acres in Gross Creek
township, Brooke county, W. Va, and
is about to organize company for the
development OF oil and gas. Tho land
lies in the second hollnw back from the
river, the same as the Turkey Foot field,
and for long timo has been looked
upon as very promising for oil. There
is deep well on the place which had
to be abandoned come time ago on
account OF oil impregnating the water
and rendering it unfit for use. On the
anti.clinal theory, it is in direct line
from the Washington fisld and is
believed TO be a part OF tho Heries of
pools found at Turkey Foot. The COM
pany will be organized at once and a
