Cannot Sell HIS Estate.

LONDON, August l0.-The judge to whom the
Earl Of Ailesbury made application for leave
to sell his estates Savernake Forest, to Lord
Iveagh for E750, 900, claiming that he was not
in possession Of sufficient funds TO maintain
the property, has refused to grant the applica-
ton. He thinks that the sum offered for
Savernake Forest 10 the full value of the
property and that the sale Of the property
would be beneficial 10 the creditors Of the Earl
of Alesbury, but he holds that due regard has
not been paid to the persons who are entitled
to the remainder. This decision In effect sus-
tains the claim Of those who opposed the appU-
cation, that should the property be sold the
only persons who would derive any benefit
from the purchase money would be the usurers.

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA OIL.
Low Prices of Petroleum Has Checked
Extensive Developments.

fNtSOU9 FOSt
Thomas M. Byers. of New York, who
has large holdings of oil territory in
West Virginia, was in the city yester-
day for few hours on his way from
Charlestown TO his home. Mr.. Byers,
besides having large individual inter
ests, is the representative of New
York syndicate of capitalists who also
have taken up large areas of land in
different sections Of the State. In
speaking OF the oil development gener
ally in that State he said there was less
development going on now than had
been at any period since the fields had
become important.
The producers are doing but little
wid-catting, and but few of them are
drilling any more wells than they are
compelled to by the provisions of their
leases. The reason for this great falling
off in development is the low price of
oil. Producers cannot make any money
at the present prices, and the accruing
profits are so small, and so slow coming
in, that the producers are afraid TO take
the hazard Of beginning operations in
territory which is not known to be
good If the present low price Of oil
continues much longer it means death
to the wild-catter in West Virginia.
I'm speaking of oil l am reminded
that oil has advanced few cents since
Saturday. 1t reached 691s cents yes
terday If may possibly go to IS, but
the advance will only be temporary. |
make the prediction now and | want
YOU TO make record of it that oil will
tumble to 30 ceuts before the last OF
July. The present price of oil bears
no manner of relation to the cost Of re-
duction The prices now ruling repre-
sent neither the intrinsic value nor
speculative value. The price is simply
what the only extensive buyer of the
commodity and the autocrat OF the
market chooses 10 pay.
'"The South Penn Oil Company,
branch of the Standard trust, has the
most extensive areas of territory in
West Virginia. 1t has run all the con
ceivable lines on which operators think
the oil belts may lie, and has taken up
thousands of acres of land in all coun-
ties west of the mountains and from the
Pennsylvania line TO cid Virginia and
kentucky. That company practically
has control of nearly all the choice oil
territory of the State.
''Some Of the counties close 10 the
mountains will never produce oil. For
instance, there is BraXtOn county in
which | imagine the drill will never re-
veal an oil sand. There are leaSers in
that county, however, now, who are
taking up the territory for virtually
nothing. and are selling it to New York,
Pittsburg and other capitalists for 5, 10
and Il cents an acre. The leasers make
little money and the purchasers do
not lose much, but they will surely lose
to the extent Of their investment.
The only thing needed to make
West Virginia a great oil State is dollar
oil. III it ever reaches that figure even
the now almost mpenetrable forests
will make their owners rich. "

STEALING ELECTRICITY.
A Jersey Man Who Tapped Light Line
Without Mentioning 1t.

New YORK June 3.-The HOboken,
IN. j Electric Light Company has
found a grievance to settle with p. ii.
Fair, well-known resident OF that
city. Mr.. Fair resides at l45 Washing
ton street. A day or two ago one of his
neighbers called on Superintendent
Banta, at the company's works, and
asked how much Mr.. Fair paid for the
introduction into his house of electric
light. Mr.. Banta did not remem-
Der that Mr. Fair was patron
of the company, and on examining
his books could not find Mr.. Fairs
name. Upon going to Mr.. Fairs house
he discovered that the company's wire
had been tapped and leaders carried into
the residence Mr.. Banta consulted
with Judge Daily as to what steps could
be taken against Mr.. Fair. The Judge
was doubtful whether the theft OF an
electric current was larceny, and there
was talk of proceeding for malicious
mischief. Mr.. Fair is rich resident
of the city and his friends believe he
can satisfactorily explain the apparent
irregularity charged against him.
