Since the drilling of the Smith & Shay
well, above town, the operators on the
other side have concluded that this Is
the best side, and are now commencing
to erect rigs and 20 start drilling on this
side. The reason for IL is this: The
field on the other side is cut of in two
directions, west and south, by three dry
holes, and northwest has only two
small producers, and furthermore the
drilling on this side is much quicker,
surer, and therefore cheaper, as there
is no trouble from caving In, thereby
saving time an9 casing.
The Smith = Shay well drilled IN
thirty days. is now doing - barrels
per day and has sufficient gas for pump
ing. There are now six rigs up and
drilling will commence at once, De-
sides two completed wells. They are
as follows:
Tenant & Ludwig, on the Russell
farm; Daily & DuttOn, on the c. +. Nc
Gov lot; LudESg 65 Co., No. ., on the j.
Russell farm; Apple & Mercer, on the
EDh Wells farm; Shaefer Oil Co., on the
Shriver farm; DevOnian OIL Co., on the
Moore farm.
The contract for building rigs on the
Steele heirs five acres, leased by Hanan
Bros, and on the Mccoy Bros. thirty
two acres, leased by Gaitney Bros, were
given out to-day. Shay & Smith have
made a location for No. on the Roome
tract, 100 rods east Of their 75 barrel
well.
The Ulrich is expected to increase
10 a $50 barrel well 10 the next sixty
DAYS, as the salt water becomes ex-
hausted, which is the case with the
Tenant No. and Stewart No. /. The
latter is fourteen months old and Is
now doing IS barrels.
The Tenant well No. 3 flowed yester-
day afternoon at the rate Of a. bar
rels an hour. II threw the oil over the

Others. gathered in the rooms OF the
Olympic Club and discussed the fight
and the merits OF the men. Charley
Mitchell and Slavin were together.
Said Mitchell with emphasis, when
asked his opinion: "Maher ought TO
be ashamed TO own himself an Irish
man: and Irishman ought to be ashamed
that he is one of them. He Is the most
cowardly fighter to my mind that ever
stepped into the ring. Fitzsimmons on
the other hand is 4 wonderfully clever

in Slavin, who was standing near. 81

Madden was behind him. Fitz is very
clever and very shifty, and hannled
himself splendidly from start TO finish.

because Madden was behind IL. Maher

Both Mitchell and Slavin agreed In

AN ESTIMATE
OF the Strength of Cleveland, Hill and
"Wsstern Man" Before the Democratic
Convention and Before the People.

OF the Strength of Cleveland, Hill and
"Wsstern Man" Before the Democratic
Convention and Before the People.
New YORK, March 2.-This morning
the Herald prints a table purporting 10
show how, as between Cleveland, Hill
and some western man, the delegates In
the Democratic National Convention
will vote. The estimates are made by
Thomas Alvord, Jr., the Washington
correspondent OF the paper, who says OF
It,:
This table has been carefully and
accurately prepared. 1t is supported
by interviews with well posted Demo-
Gratis from each one OF the States and
Territories, on whose Judgment the .ex-
pressed probability as 10 how the re-
spective delegations will voteare based.
In his compilation he gives the total
vote OF delegates at 900, divided as fol-
lows: Hill, 2s5; Cleveland, 265; West
ern man, $50. He places New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and Texas, and a number Of western
States in the Hill column. Cleveland
delegates will be from Massachusetts,
Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Maine
and some Eastern States. The Western
mans delegate will come from nearly
all the Western States and number OF
Southern.
Illinois will cast As votes for General
Palmer, Indiana 10 for Governor Gray,
Iowa 2G for Governor Boies, Kentucky
26 for ex-Speaker Carlisle, Maryland IL
for Senator German. Michigan % for
Don Dickinson, and Pennsylvania 81 for
Governor Pattison. After these com
plimentary votes all of the States men
toned, except Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, will support Western man, pro-
viding, of course, that the favorite son
shows no sign OF gaining strength.
Pennsyvania's big vote will then go TO
Hill, as will Maryland's sixteen dele
gates.
While Hill cannot count absolutely
on the electoral vote of the great pivotal
State, New York, nor upon Pennsyl-
vania, he can count upon the electoral
vote of far greater number OF the
States whose delegations will support
him In the convention than can ex-
President Cleveland. This is what the
friends OF the Senator have been claim
ing.
But the figures have never before
been set forth. They show unmls-
takably that in the States where the
Democratic sentiment predominates,
Hill is stronger than Cleveland.
