A woman's Strange Bequest.

A very aged lady, Nine. Guzman, who
died on the 3Oth of June last in Pau,
was deeply interested, especially during
her last years. in the descriptions of the
planet Mars and the theoretical posi-
bility of communication between our
planet and the neighbor worlds Further
more, expressing in her will desire
peculiarly astronomical, she made the
following legacy:
A prize of 100000 francs is bequeathed
to the Institute of France (science sec
tion) for the person, no matter of what
nationality, who shall discover within
ten years from the present time means
of communicating with star planet or
otherwise) and of receiving reply.
The testatrix has especially in view
the planet Mars, upon which the atten-
ton and investigation of savants has
been directed already. If the Institute
of France does not accept the legacy it
will pass to the Institute of Milan, and
in case of a new refusal to the Institute
of New York.-Cor. New York Herald.

He Locates Oil Wells in His Dreams
Butler county has an '.oil smeller'
who can give points to persons who
bring out the power of the hazel rod.
Some months ago Cunningham & Co.
were drilling well on the farm of Ira
Stauffer. One night while the we'll was
drilling Casper Keichner. IA crippled jew
eler of Zelienople. dreamed that the well
was dry, and in the same vision he saw
a spot on the farm of John Shriver,
near the Stauffer farm, where a well
was flowing 1000 barrels per day.
Keichner related his dream to Gun
ningham & Co, but smile was all he
got for his trouble. When the well on
the Stauffer farm was completed it was
first class duster. In their adversity
the owners of the well went to Keichner
and asked him to show them the spot on
the Shriver farm where in his dream he
had seen the coveted 900 barrel well.
He accompanied them to the place and
a well was started on the spot. A few
weeks ago the pay streak was reached,
the well actually flowed 900 barrels a
day and the place is the richest oil farm
in Butler county today.-Pittsburg Cor

STATE OFFICIALS.
COUNTY OFFICIALS.
If the CuRoS1cLE has seen fit to lay

If the CHRONICLE has seen fit to lay
before the taxpayers of this county the
amount of fees that have been paid out
during the past ten years to offices whose
respectives incomes are not placed by
law at an annual fixed sum, it has done
so at the express desire OF large num-
Der of taxpayers and with no thought or
conception, so fee as the writer knows,
that any one has been paid cent that
he was not legally entitled to. The in
vestigation is in the interest of taxpay-
ers only. They want the information
and they are entitled to it. If it be true
that county Office pays its incumbent
seven of eight thousand dollars year
where the service could find hundreds
of persons just as competent as ever
filled it willing to qualify and undertake
its duties for half that sum, the people
have right to know it that steps may
be taken to have the law fixing the fees
of such offices amended. The investiga-
tion is in no sense an attack on present
or past incumbents who cannot be
blamed for accepting every dollar they
are legally entitled to. Neither is it In
any sense a: effort to defeat the candi-
dacy of the present incumbents, who,
1T is generally understood, are seeking
denomination. The CHRONICLE is not
concerned about their denomination. 1t
ID not in the business of nominating
candidates. 1t believes the fees of the
clerk and sheriff are too high, and in its
own interest and in the interest of those
who have to foot the bills it proposes to
lay the facts before the people and let
them be the judges. The only other
office whose income is not an annual
fixed sum is that of assessor and because
the writer once held that Office he has
specially insisted that that shall be in
cluded in the investigation also. No
one supposes the per diem of the assessor
of four dollars day is too much but the
people have right to know what it
costs them to have the county assessed,
and they shall know that tso. The time
to spring this investigation is before
nominations for the legislature are made
that candidates may know what the
people expect OF them. If the CHRoNI-
Gle was seeking the defeat of candi-
date for county Office it has sufficient
political horse sense to know that this is
not the time to begin that work. 1t
would wait till after the nominations
were made.

An UnIuolv Locomotive

two terrible wrecks on that road at Ra-

considerable persuasion that Engineer
Knowblow was persuaded to take charge

sage.s SCOUT. .,u. J. 5 .,ol,.

A class of persons who have suffered
greatly by reason of the bomb throwing
tragedy have hitherto escaped the notice
of the press. Mr.. Sage was doing a
sarge business in options or puts and
calls, spreads and straddles He was
not SO greatly absorbed in this speciality
as he was in 1883. He was caught in
the panic of that year and lost good
many hundred thousand dollars, and
since then has been more conservative
than he was before. Still, this business
has amounted to good many thousand
dollars some days and has afforded a
number of men an opportunity of get
ting living
These men are typical Wall street
creatures. You see them hustling here
and there, buttonholing men and whis-
pering in their ears. They are tireless.
They know everybody who is likely to
take a little hier. Sometimes as many
as a score or more of them used to go to
Russell Sage every day and ask him
what he would charge for options on va
rious stocks and securities. Having got
Sage's terms. they secured the streets,
protesting to give tips, and in the course
of a week would bring in many Gus
toners to Sage. Their usual commission
was one-eighth of per cent. and the
smartest of them could make from ten
to twenty dollars day
They brought Sage a great deal of
business first and last. But these men
have been sad eyed enough since the ex-
plosion. This part of Sage's business
life is ended as much as though he had
been killed on that day, and it is seri-
Gus question whether he will ever re-
sumo it. This has thrown these scouts
and commission agents upon their up
pers. = New York Cor. Philadelphia

The Spruce Gum Season Is On.

The spruce gum season is on in Maine
and business is booming. One firm re-
ceived twenty-four barrels of about 21%
tons of gum in one day, and it will have
1875 barrels or $4,000 pounds before the
close of the season. The first grade of
gum is clean and clear and ready for
chewing. 1t sells at wholesale at sixty
cents to one dollar pound.
The dark colored gum, mixed with
bark and pitch, is worth from six to
eighteen cents a pound, and is purchased
by refners, who boil it, skim off the
dirt, add some other things and produce
many varieties of spruce gum-Maine

Spending Their H honeymoon in Cable Car.

Spending Their Honeymoon in a Cable Car.

partment of one of the Seventh and
Ninth street cable cars last evening. The
short benches on each side of the grip
man were empty save for one figure
that of petite and pretty brunette in a
warm gray cape ulster, with big fur
boa around her neck.
The conductor put his head through
the door for moment and came back
chuckling.
''Love's funny thing" he said, as he
got back on the rear platform and rung
up two fares. There's Jim's wife in
there with him. Jim's the gripman, you
know. They've been married pretty near
two weeks, and I'm blamed if she hasn't
put in the best half of the time riding
round with him in the car They couldn't
afford to take a trip off, you see, and so
they're spending the honeymoon in this

moon, and SO it is. But it's Mary's do

A Strange stor,.

A strange story comes from neigh
borhood about ten miles southeast of
here.
Oct. "a. 1890, Alex Yohe. an aged
farmer, committed suicide. Yohe's
mind had been unbalanced for some
time. and he imagined that the discov-
cry of natural gas would prove the ruin
alton of the world He was opposed to
any search for the new fuel, and often
pleaded with his neighbors to leave it
alone. He also imagined that he was
ruined man, although he owned good
farm and was in prosperous condition.
He thought his family had been doomed
to starvation, and he resolved to take
his life, thus terminating his misery
Recently an Elwood company began
drilling for gas ON the Starkey farm and
the work had proceeded nearly to COM
pletion. They were rushing the work
and a day and night force of hands were
employed. The night force, however, is
no longer at work and the following is
the cause: A few nights since, while the
men were at work, they were startled
by slight noise near the derrick, and
on looking around they beheld the form
of old man Yohe walking from the en-
g1ne to the derrick. One man approached
him and the form suddenly vanished.

This sort of thing was kept up for sew
eral nights, the old man making his ap-

and they refused to work any more after
