TIE sULLNAN-CORBETr FIGHT.
The Boys Around Town Beginning to
Speak Financially.

Speak Financially.
The. Sullivan-Corbett fight, which
takes place September 9TH, is the topic
Of discussion at present among those
who have strain Of sporting blood In
their makeup.
When Sullivan and Kirain tOU ght
two years ago, there was most aston
ishing interest manifested locally. Citi-
zens who would not have been supposed
10 have the least interest in prize fight
ing, men of every business and PROBES
sion, even TO ministers, we're anxious TO
get the news from the great fight, and
the result Of no event, unless general
election, was ever more eagerly awaited.
The interest in the coming tight will
be even greater, for the reason that
both Corbett and Sullivan are person
ally known 10 many in this city, and
that while the latter'S abilities as
fighter are appreciated, COrbett has
also many admirers here. A few bets
have already been made on the result,
and a good deal OF local cash will doubt
less change hands on the referees deci-
sion.
Socially there could hardly be a
greater contrast between two men than
there is between COrbett and Sullivan.
Sullivan impressed rybody as being
gruf, surly and brutal while Corbett
on the other hand has proved TO be
modest, genial and gentlemanly. There
are good many, therefore, who would
like 10 see COrbett win but there are
many OF these who will bet the other
way II they bet at all. Sullivan's rec
tord is such that a good many consider
him inyinclble and he is generally
picked as a sure winner Of the coming
fight, though there are few who have
faith In COrbett.

A NEW GAS WELL
Owned by Wheeling Gentlemen Starts OFF
With an Explosion.

With an Explosion.
The gas well which has been drilling
for some 30 days on the Freshwater
premises, near Wellsburg, and owned
by Wheeling gentlemen, reached the
sand about . o'clock Thursday morn
ing, and as the gas was unlocked for
until about % feet more drilling had
been done the shell was Unexpectedly
pierced and the well at once began to
flow. The drillers hastily put out all
lights and the forge fire and prepared
to wait until morning to drill 1t 10. A
short time afterward the gas became
ignited, probably from spark in the
forge, and IT was only by quick and
skillful work on the part Of Wood and
George Kinsey, the drillers, that the
blaze was extinguished by running the
bailer and the rig saved.
Drilling was resumed, after some gen.
tlemen from Wheeling, interested In the
well, had arrived on the 1890 train,
with the result Of an increasing flow,
until about 2:3O o'clock, when, with the
tools in the wrenches at the top Of the
hole and quite a number Of men and
boys in the derrick watching operations,
one OF the spectators, an old man,
thoughtlesSly struck a match with
which to light his pipe. Instantly the
gas which was coming from the well in
great volumes and inside Of the derrick
were enveloped in flame.
There was rush for the open air and
all escaped without very dangerous in
iuries. Mr.. Jackson Jones was very Sc
verely burned, as were also George Kin
sey and VIM. Finley, of Lazearville.
Freed Sanders, Wood Kidsey, Sam Mel
vim and Charley Nichols were also
slightly burned.
The rig, Of course, took fire and was
completely destroyed, together wit all
but about 500 feet Of a new drilling
lire and other ropes. The well belongs
to the Buffalo Gas Company, composed
OF Wheeling gentlemen, and is to be
turned into line with the Sanders
well, struck some time since, and piped
TO the Riverside GlasSwOrks.
The loss will be quite heavy,

time such a thing has happened this
summer.
Capt James O'Neil took the John

1000 tons of freight.
The work Of putting the Gray Iron
line OF towboatS and barges into condi-
tion for doing business will be pushed
forward now as rapidly as possible.
Capt. Geo. w. Rowley reports the
Cincinnati packet Scotia as being in
irst-classs condition for business when
ever it opens. The outlook at present
is very uncertain.
The coalmen generally are not anxious
FOR water, as they want 70 get rid OF
the coal they have in the down river
markets before there is any more

Enr the Other side.

For some days the friends Of protec-
ton and reciprocity have been enjoying
a new and very delicious cake called
GRANDPARENTS HAT, and now the
other side is to have a show. A TARIFF
REFORM CAKE has made its appearance.
Ii is the product of the progressive
spirit and inventive genius OF Mr.. Bren-
neman, who also originated its prede-
cessor, GRANDPARENTS HAT.
TARIFF REFORM is handsome cake,
and it is as good as 1t is handsome. 1t
will be one OF the popular features Of
the campaign, and no doubt will, in a
few days, be in all the leading grocery
stores.
