AFTER OIL IN MARTINS FERRY.
The Meeting of the Company Held, Yes.
terday.

The citizens Of Martins Ferry are
just now very much alive on the Ques-
tlon OF oil, and agitating operations
with good deal Of fervor. They are
well satisfied that the unctuous fluid
can be successfully extracted frrom the
soil ia the immediate neighborhoOd.
The citizens Of Martins Ferry gener-
ally, As well as one or Two operators
from the Belmont field, and some we'll
known oil operators Of Wheeling, are
interested IN the project, and have sub
scribed literally. The capital stock is
500, 900.
The site OF the prospective operations
is located at Blaine's run about mile
back Of the town, and the company Is to
be known as the Blaine's Run oil and
Gas Company. The subscribers in the
company held meeting at Martins
Ferry last evening, and among those
present were James Story. the success
full operator, OF Belmont, and DIR. A. +
Gasmire, Of Wheeling. Although nc
officers were elected at this meeting
it was decided TO apply foI
charter Immediately, and boring will
doubtless begin inside OF ten days. The
ground on the proposed site is all
leased. There is considerable anxious
excitement among the citizens Of Mar
tins Ferry over the outcome.
Among those interested is DR.. Gas
mire, in Wheeling. John Smith, Of Bur
lington, and August Briedensten, OF
bridgeport, and the following from
Martins Ferry; William Mann, Harry
Northwood, John ). Cochran, DIR. A. X.

CoNsPRIRACY TO MURDER.
A Russian Jew's Complaint Against Two
OF His Countrymen.

DUBUQUE, IA, January 27.-Joseph
Kahn, n Russian jew peddler, appeared
before Justice Cooney and swore out
warrants for the arrest of Mendel Gins
berg and Gregory Blumenthal, two OF
his countrymen, charging them with
conspiracy to kill him.
He says there exists among the Rus
sian Jews, of whom there are about 300
in this city, society similar TO the Chi
nese Highbinders, and it is sworn to re-
move anyone who may inlure one OF Its
members. A law suit between Russian
Jews recently occurred here and kahn's
testimony was against the men who, he
claims, are now conspiring to Kill him.
Blumenthal and GinSberg were arrested
last night
Kahn also states that they have
charged him with mutilating the Bible,
and that this Oflense is always punisha-
bile with death in Russia. Kahn, who
is very ignorant, hired two men to
guard his house all night Saturday and
Sunday and goes armed to the teeth.
