Table Talk,

The Thanksgiving number OF Table
TAX has arrived among our exchanges.
1t is quite up to the seasons require
ments; indeed, it would be difficult mat
ter to run over its columns without an
increased longing for an interview with
those Siamese twins of Thanksgiving
turkey and pumpkin pie. Table TAX Is
always appetizingly laxative, but this
month it rather excels itself. Anyone
whose appetite is backward in coming
up to the scratch should get copy. 1t
is tonic very pleasant to swallow, and
cheap. One dollar year is surely little
enough to keep ones appetite in repair,
and this is all that years subscription
to Table Talk costs. Try 1t. Published

STREET RAILWAY NOTES.
A Car Chargsd-Progress of WORK upon
the improvements.

the Improvements
Considerable amusement was caused
last Saturday by the electric shocks re-
ceiyed by passengers who rode upon
electric motor "Viola," on which car
all the metal work was charged. Every
uerson who touched the railing was
shocked, and the antics ef some pas
sengers were very funny. One long,
lank specimen from the rural "dees-
tricts" stood at a crossing In open
mouthed amazement watching the pro
gress of the car, without any motive
power which be could discover. Pas
sengers chuckled audibly when he mo-
toned the motorman to stop. de ap-
preached the car, placed one foot upon
the step, put his hand upon the railing
and then Jumped several feet In the
air, exclaiming:
Gosh almighty"
The conductor could not induce him
to take the car, and the company Is
"out" a nickle. The Martins Ferry
school boys have habit OF hanging on
the rear platform when the conductor
is inside the car gathering fares. Sat
urday afternoon the conductor saw
crowd of haIf-a-dozen Of the mischiev-
GUS Youngsters standing on corner. He
entered the car, and the lads seized the
opportunity to get free ride. There
was a scramble for good places to hang
on, then six suits of clothes were lying
in the mud in the middle OF the street.

katherine Rober Tomorrow Night.

Tomorrow night at the opera house
Katherine Rober will appear. or this
actress the Cincinnati Times Star says:
BARLEY Campbel's touching play, "a
Heroine in Rags" was given at Harris
thester yesterday, introducing MISS
Katherine Rober as star. She dis
played the possession OF talents and
equipments, justifying her in aspiring
to that eminence. Young, handsome,
and sympathetic, she gave the part a
fine rendition and carried the audience.
The company is satisfactory, and the
audiences were thoroughly pleasen with
the performances in general. The
charming actress bids fair to become q
great favorite with the public, and her
acting was warmly applauded by the
large and appreciative audience.

BIG FIRE AT BENNINGTON.
Several Buildings Destroyed Early Satur
day Morning.

Several Buildings Destroyed Early Satur-
day Morning.
Ate o'clock Saturday morning fire
broke out in a room occupied by Charles
Barrett, over the postoffice at Manning
ton, originating from cook stove,
which ignited some clothing hanging
against the wall. When discovered the
fire was under considerable Roadway
and Mrs. Barrett and infant child were
rescued from an upper window by u
ladder.
The fire spread from this room to the
postofice below, to the adjoining build
ing occupied by John Barnhart as d
boot and shoe shop and dwelling and
from there to Cornelius KendalPS dwell
ing and grocery and on into Stewards
marble shop, where the fire was gotten
under control by the volunteer fremen
with hose attached to the fire plug at
the corner of Railroad and Market
streets. Some delay was experienced In
getting the hose into working order, but
when attached the fire was fought gal
lantly and successfully.
The principal LOSERS were II. Stew
rrt, owner of the postOtiice and shoe
shop buildings, 81, 200, 5000 Insurance;
same, marble shop, damaged $500, part
ly insured; Cornelius Kendall, dwelling
and grocery, 81, 800, no insurance; Sohn
Barnhardt, tools and household goods,
5000, no insurance; John NJ. MILAN,
postmaster, $500; S. L. Baxter, 500;
Chas. Barrett, $500.
The total loss was about $4,000 with
81, 600 insurance held by Il. Stewart. A
handsome purse is being made up for
Messrs. Kendall and Barnhardt, the
heaviest loosers.
Mrs. Barrett escaped only in the nick
of time, with only the night clothes Of
herself and child and the night was
very cold.
No. s, B. & o. train, arrived when
the flames were at their highest, and it
looked as if the whole town might burn.
Several parties asked the trainmen to
hold the train, as the hose was laying
across the track, to give the firemen
chance to fight the fire. The hremen
were notified to remove the hose, or it
would be run over. The train was
started, and it was only by great eff
fort that the flremen succeeded In get
thug the hose off the track.
At this time the water was playing on
the marble shop which adjoins the B. &
o. passenger and freight depot, and it
was only by the most stubborn work
that the buildings were saved. Great
indignation is felt toward the men in
charge OF the train.

OIL LAND IN LITIGATION.
A Law Suit That Involves Sistersvills
Property Valued at 100000.

An important law suit involving the
title to oil property valued at $780,
600. located in the Sistersville field is
engaging the attention Of courts in two
| States, and number OF attorneys and
operators.
In 1890 Leroy NJ. Ludwig and Will
liam Werter took up 1000 acres of
leases in the now well-known Sisters
Vile field, apd commenced to drill the
Pioneer we'll In the field which has
since found a place in the history Of
oildom as the "Poecat we'll" After
drilling had commenced Werter was
killed, leaving five children, four Of
whom were minors. Ludwig was ap-
pointed administrator of the Werter
estate in Putnam county, o., and the
well was drilled down to the oil bearing
sand, where it produced some oil and
large quantities Of salt water.
While the well was in this condition,
and after other wells in the vicinity had
commenced to produce oil in paying
| uusntities, Ludwig, as an administrator
on December II, 1891, sold the interest
of the Werter estate to Daniel ID.
Bailey, an attorney of Ottawa, 0.
On December IS, the next day, Bailey
conveyed the interest back TO Ludwig
as an individual, and on December 10,
1891, Ludwig sold one-Quarter inter-
est in the we'll and lease TO Robert E.
Mooney, and Ludwig & Mooney sold
about one-half of the leases to others.
The plaintiffs In the case allege that the
sale from Ludwig, as administrator, to
Bailey and the transfer from Bailey
back to Ludwig were fraudulent, and
that the Probate Court of Ohio could
not direct a sale which would pass title
to leases situated in West Virginia.
Joshua Russell, the West Virginia
administrators and guardian OF the chill
dren of Werter, has brought suit, ask
ing that one-half Of the proceeds OF the
sale be paid to him. On August 30.
1892. an Injunction was issued by Judge
Jacobs, of Tyler county, w. Va, re-
straining the defendants from dispos-
ing of the oil or encumbering the prop
erty. The case was removed to the
United States Circuit Court by the de-
PENDANTS, and last Thursday Judge
Jackson, of the Circuit Court. on mo-
ton of the plaintiffs, appointed c. Il.
Shattuck. cashier of the First National
Bank of Parkersburg, w. Va, receiver
of all the property, pending litigation.
This includes 1OO.0 900 barrels Of oil in
the Eureka Pipe Lines, which has ac-
cumulated since the INDUCTION was
granted. John B. Chapman, OF Pitts
burg, is one of the attorneys for the
plaintiffs, and John M. Bailey, OF OF

Look after the Boys.

What the Norfolk Landmark says of Norfolk
is true of other cities than that, and that is
"that many boys from to 16 years of age,
children of the average citizens, men and wo-
men who are supposed to exercise ordinary
care and supervision over the household and
family, grow up like the grass and weeds IN
the old uncultivated fields. They wander
about at will, counting those evil associations
which corrupt good manners, studying and
practising ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain. They feel no restraining influence
from home, and acknowledge no responsible
ty to the city authorities unless a policeman is
in sight They know that the law prohibits
smoking cigarettes, and that it forbids the sale
of that pernicious and active instrument of
decentralization; yet they openly and defiantly
smoke it without concealment and without
reserve. This is a discouraging condition of
things, for, from the rising generation of boys
must come largely the future citizenry of a
community. Accordingly as the lads are con-
trolled and made to conform to the usages OF
civilized life, politeness, obedience to the laws
of propriety and of the town, respectful obser-
vance of the rights of others, Difference to
older persons and reverence for religion, will
be their future character, and the influence
they will exert on society. 1t is of the highest
Importance, therefore, that parents and guar
dams should keep the lines of wholesome re-
straint and home government over their boys
with proper degree of tightness, and it is of
no less importance that the police department
of the city, of all cities, should take particular
care to make the boys observe the law SO fal
as it comes within the exercise of police auth
GRITTY"
