And That's no Joke, Either-A Roman
Journalist, Short on News. Goes out to
Make some and Gets Left on the story.
ROME, August'27. This city has just
experienced another bomb explosion,
and the man who is supposed to be re-
sponsible for the explosion now realizes
the significance Of the saying: "Hoist
by his own petard." The bomb was
thrown outside the Alter palace at II
o'clock tonight.
The Altieri place is the building In
which the court OF appeals holds IL
sttings. The Pope's guard also has It's
club In the building and several mem
bers OF the guard were in the rooms OF
the club when the explosion occurred.
They were much startled but quickly
recovered themselves and rushed into
the street 70 learn the cause.
They saw on the pavement the pros
trate form of man who was wrlthlng
and moaning as if In great pain. They
also found fragments Of bomb scatter
ed about in front Of the palace. Inc
only damage done by the explosive was
to the man lying on the ground.
He proved to be young Journalist
Of the name Of Giuseppe Riccini. What
the motive was for his criminal action,
il he was the bomb thrower, can only
be coniectured. He is terribly injured
amp cannot recover.
When the news Of the explosion was
learned immense crowds thronged to
the spot and the streets in the vicinity
were soon packed with excited citizens.
The police had more than they could do
60 handle the crowd and a detachment
OF soldiers was sent to assist them.

When the Presidents team arrived it
was heralded about that Mr.. Cleveland
was to leave for New York. The

on the depot platform. The trains from
Boston were crowded with people who
flocked to the windows and platform TO
obtain a glimpse of the President.
A number of ladies and gentlemen
stepped forward aud shook hands with
him. The President greeted them all
with a smile. Everybody remarked on
the general good appearance OF the
President. He appeared TO be the very
picture of health. He returned to Gray
Gables after DR.. Bryant had left.
Mrs. Cleveland drove over TO the viii

rived tonight. Inasmuch as the Oneida
is here, and the fact that DIR. Bryant

PHILADELPHIA, August 27.-Antonio
Bachetich died this morning in a sea-
mans boarding house, after having fast
ed for 76 days. During that time moth
ing but water passed his lips.
e Just before he died he called for food,
but 10 was too late. He had only taken
few mOuthfuls when the end came.
The doctor attending him gave a cer-
tlfcate that death was caused by "gen-
eral debility due to voluntary starva-
tion." Bachetich was a sailor and
when in this city made his home with
Lucas Bachetich.
On Sunday, June 11th, when we went
20 the breakfast table there was neither
knife, for nor spoon at his plate. He
felt himself insulted at this seeming
neglect, and left the table refus-
Ing TO eat, and despite the efforts Of
those interested in him refused
to partake OF any kind of food until,
shortly after midnight last night, he
surprised those at his bedside by asking
for food and meal was quickly brought
TO him. He took little beef tea but
before he finished it, he fell back in
the arms Of on old shipmate. He was
a stalwart man, weighing over 100
pounds when he began his fast. Only
his frame remained when he died.

SOME OIL NOTES.
The Progress OF Development In tho Near
by Fields.

The Progress OF Development In tho Near-
by Fields.
The SIstersviIle field is producing Is, =
900 to 16, 900 barrels per day.
The Corbett well, at Sistersville, Is
expected to be in in day or two.
Drilling is more active in the Sisters
VILE field that for some time past.
Several test holes are going down
near Baresvllle, Monroe county, O.
The Fishing Creek wells are all about
the same depth they were a week ago.
The we'll down at Dllles' Bottom Is
still producing from the Cow run sand.
Territory Is being leased on Rock
Run, Doddridge county, by new COM
pany.
The South Penn Company's new well
on the Wright farm, at Warrington, Is
reported to be doing ninety barreles an
hour.
The Wetzel county wells seem In
clined to run all to gas and little or no
oil. Gas may be piped 10 New Mar
tlnsville in the near future.
There is talk Of well being drilled
in the upper end of the Belmont held
TO what is known as the Gorden sand.
This, il com pleted, may open up ne"
field.
The Fluharty Run wei, In Wetzel, is
several feet below the strong gas vein
struck some days ago, and the gas
pressure is so great that water cannot
be put down to enable the drillers TO
get the sand out. They have tried diff
ferent methods to clean out the drill
ings, but none have, as yet, been ehec-
tual.
The territory along the river Is being
thoroughly tested from CochrAnsyllle 10
Long Reach, and number OF good wells
will undoubtedly be struck. Land In
the vicinity OF Matamorss, o., Is COM
mandlng fancy prices and il is taking
on the air of an oil town. This 10 the
result of the Johnston strike opposite
Long Reach, and Of several new and
good wells between Cochransyille and
Matamoras.
The out look for the oil business is
better this week and IL looks as though
it was only a question OF little time
until the oil field will be developed
along the Ohio river from Sistersville TO
Eureka. Every well which has heen
drilled on the river from ST. Marys u
Slstersville shows more or less oil and
several of them 10 this vicinity would
undoubtedly be good producing wells II
properly managed.-SL MdTys Oracle.
The Delmer Oil Company has started
number of new wells In the district
southwest OF Mannington. Its No. on
the Holbert farm will be In the sand
last week unless they meet with bad
luck. This we'll will be followed BY the
Ammon farm venture, whore they have
had a bad fishing job on hands, but soc
ceeded in clearing the hole last week.
The new wells which have just been
started are Nos 2, 3 and on the Snas-
fer farm, No. on the Stevens, and No.
| on the Eddy property.

LONDON. August 97,-A most sensA-

Church Of ST. Anne, at Montpelier, to-

perceiye an elderly lady rise hastily
from her seat ana proceed with rapid
steps 30 the pew occupied by NJ. Jean
Jouissant, = prominent lawyer Of the

Suddenly pistol shot rang through
the sacred edlfce, and, turning, the wor-
shippers saw the woman bending over
NJ. JousissAnt and firing revolver as
rapidly as she could manipulate the
weapon.
NJ. Jousissant had rolled from his
seat to the floor OF the pew after the
fourth shot; but the infuriated woman,
intent upon making sure OF
THE DEATH OF HER VICTIM,
was preparing TO fire flfth shot when
she was seized by some OF the cooler
members OF the congregation and dis
armed.
Others hastened TO raise M. JouissAnt
from the floor, but he was already dead.
The widest excitement prevailed
during the shooting the congregation
being on the verge OF panic. Women
screamed and tainted, and the men sat
as II petrIfed, or rushed TO the doors 10

The woman, who is sixty years OF
age, told the police that NJ, Jouissant
had refused 10 return 20 her a sum OF

Mr. wilson to HAve n Tariff Bill Mapped
Ont and Ready to Present to the Com
mittee-The State Bank Tax Question to
Come Up.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 27.-
The Wavs and Means Committee will
meet Tuesday, at which time the course
Of procedure will probably be decided
upon, including such matters as tne
appropriate date when a tariff Dill shali
be reported, whether the committee
will give hearings to interested persons
or not. and other details relating to the
work with which it is charged.
Chairman Wilson Is reported to have
prepared a bill covering the subject OF
tariff revision in general way, which
he will submit to the committee.
On the same day the Committee on
Banking and Currency will meet with
the expectation of concluding report
on the bill OF representative Tom l..
Johnson, providing for the exchange OF
national bonds for currency al the ue-
mand OF the holder.
The committee, it is believed, VIII
favorably report the bill with an amend
ment intended TO protect the gold OF the
treasury from raids by those VINO re-
ceive currency for their bonds. The
committee may also take up the ques-
tion of repeating the 10 per cent. tax
on the circulation Of State banks. On
this point Chairman Springer Is quoted
as saying: -,
AZ do not believe the committee Will
report a bill In favor Of the repeal OF the
tax on State banks. do not believe In
going back to the old days OF the old
State banking system and being com
PEELED to have forty-ionr different kinds
of currency in this country. The re-
mova Of the tax upon State banks and
the re-establishment Of the old system
would be an obstruction to business. l
for one, am against 1t, and do not believe
that such bill can pass. l favor
stable currency, good alike in all the
States, accepted without question every
where and familiar to the people, and
printed upon such paper that counter
feits can be readily detected. Any
other currency is an obstruction to ousl-
ness, and l shall oppose it,"
