Matters Continue Quiet in the sistersvilie
Field.
Oil matters in the Sistersville field
have been rather quiet the past week,
outside Of the new wells heretofore no.
ted, and production is still down TO
about Is, 500 barrels per day. John j.
Carter purchased the one half of the
VIM. Laugherty farm on Cow House
run last week for the sum Of forty-tive
thousand dollars. The tract consisted
of forty acres and has only four pro-
ducing wells on it. 1t was sold to Mr..
Carter by A. G. LeComte, Andy Brun-
ner, M. ]. King, j. w. Campbell, G. 5.
James, Anthony Faror and 5. +. Clin-
gler.
The we'll known as the Hutchinson
WE'LL" which is being drilled near New
MatamoraS, Ohio, ought to have been
In the sand before this, but owing to
striking very heavy vein or gas,
the derrick was burned down, together
with the ropes, tools, &c. The two
drillers were badly burned, but not dan
gerously. There was no fire near the
derrick at the time, and 1t Is thought
the fire originated from the friction In
winding up the cable. This is the only
way that the fire can be accounted for.
The loss Is about $500. Mr.. GladshaW
was the contractor. A new derrick Will
be erected at once and the well drilled
on down 20 the sand. The well is said
70 be almost as strong a gasser as the
big gasser was In the rock cut, and II 1t
turns ont to be as large well as the
rock cut gasser is, things will be lively
down the river and MatamorSs will have
a touch of the oil boom fever. The
we'll is owned principally by the Fisher
Oil Company.
The wild cat well which was drilled
by VIM. Johnson on the Everett Will
hanson land, back OF Friendly about
mile and close to the Zion church, Is a
dry hole and the casing has been pulled
out and the we'll abandoned. Still oil
men think there is plenty OF oil down
that way, but that 1t will be found
further west Of Friendly. They are all
holding on to the leases, and other test
wells will be drilled down that way this
summer.
The Tyler Democrat says: "Several
parties are busy turning over their
property to Colonel John j. Carter, OF
Titusville, who seems 10 be in fair
way to own the whole OF the Sisters
vile field before many months II he
continues to purchase oil production at
the rate which he has been doing for
the last eight or ten weeks. He invest
ed the biggest end of S200,00O yesterday
and Thursday. The first purchase he
made was the Thistle Farm Oil Com
pany's lease of the A. & S. Thistle farm,
containing one hundred acres. 1t lies
lust east of the town. On it are six
producing wells, aggregating $50 bar
rels day, one drilling well and two
rigs about completed"

A TOUCH OF WINTER
(WHICH INFLICTED HEAVY LOSS on FARMERS
AND FRUIT GROWERS
[ Snow on the Ground Saturday Morning, and Very
Heavy Frost Yes.srday-Early Peaches
Apples and Grapes Killed.

The farmers in the upper Ohio Valley
are very much discouraged, so far as
raising early fruit is concerned.
For three or four years in succession
warm weather in the early spring has
been succeeded by freezing weather
and killing frosts, and much loss to
agriculturaIisss has been the result
Last spring they thought they would
escape this damage, and up until about
the first OF May the fruit prospects were
most excellent, but early in May two or
three heavy frosts killed their budding
hopes as well as the budding trees, and
damaged early vegetables, grapes, and,
indeed, about everything in the way Of
growing crops. This year good weather
again set In early, and up to last Friday
vegetation was unusually well advanced
under frequent showers and high tenn
perature, the thermometer reaching 81
In the shade in this city one day about
ten days ago. The farmers were fear
full that their experience, In recent
years would be repeated, and their
fears were realized Friday and Saturday
nights, on the first Of which there was
a decided drop in the mercury, with
considerable snow on high ground, and
Saturday night the mercury fell still
lower, resulting yesterday morning in a
very heavy frost. North OF US, and
especially In northern Ohio, as much as
four or five inches of snow was on the
ground Saturday morning, and even out
in Marshall county. in the vicinity OF
Limestone. the ground was covered
with snow in places Saturday morning.
In this city snow began falling about
three O'Clock Saturday morning,
and kept it up at intervals
until after daylight. This did
not damage the fruit as much,
however, as the frost yesterday morn
lug, which was very heavy in this city,
and heavier still in the country. Mr..
James Wagner, farmer at the head OF
Caldwell's run, reported yesterday that
ice froze half an inch thick about the
water barrels at his place, the mercury
being 30 at a. M, and that the early
apples, cherries, peaches and grapes,
were either killed or so seriously dam
aged that the yield would amount to
nothing. Mr.. Wagner brought in some
samples of grape buds which were en-
tirely killed by the cold. Similar re-
ports came to town from other sec
lions, although Rev. Father Reynolds,
who was at Triadelphia, stated
yesterday that the damage in that vicin-
ity did not amount to much. On the
Island the peach trees, which were in
full bloom, were killed in some ocali
ties, while in others they did not appear
to be injured to any appreciaole extent.
Points out the B. e o. road, east OF
this city, reported serious damage to
fruit, and these reports will likely be
confirmed from other localities to-day.
Last night it was again quite cool,
and there may be another frost this
morning.

WEST VIRGINIA EXHIBITS.
A Brief Resume of the show the Little
Mountain State Will Make.

Mountain State Will Make.
The list of exhibits from West Vir-
GINA, for the Worlds Fair, has been
completed, and Hon. w. n. Chancellor,
President OF the Worlds Fair Board,
has prepared a catalogue of them. This
catalogue includes specimens OF the

found. In the list from Ohio county
appear iron, milestone rock and two
different specimens Of limestone. These
are of splendid quality.
In the list of iron and other minerals
submitted, is found oil from, the great
oil districts OF the State, and nearly all
the counties are well represented
Among the exhibits to be seen at the
Fair in this line will be well-selected
exhibit of limestone and iron ores from
this county.
The Whitaker Iron Company Of this
city, has shipped most creditaole ex-
hibit of coal, and the Boggs' Run Coal

Wide Tires.
To IN. Editor of the Register:

To the EDITOR OF the Register:
SIR: l saw communication in your
paper few days ago, in regard to wide
tires, signed "One Who Believes in Pre-
serving Our Brick Streets" Since
reading his communicable l ran across
some interesting facts bearing on the
subject, and decidedly in favor of wide
tires, which you will please publish and
obiGe.
The following tests we're made by
Studebaker Manufacturing Company,
with a dynamometer. The scale of the
instrument was carefully calibrated by
test through the medium OF U. S. stand
ard weights and scales. The following
shows the record In details:
You can start 26O pounds more on
good, hard, sandy roads with 4-inch
tire with the same amount Of power eX-
erted than you can with 11a-inch tire.
You can haul sos lbs. more on good,
hard sandy roads with 4-inch tire with
the same amount OF power exerted than
YOU can with 1H-inch tire.
You can start All lbs. more on level
gravel roads with 4-inch tire with the
same amount of power exerted than
you can with 1l-inch tire.
You can haul 10 lbs. more on level
gravel roads with 4-inch tire with the
same amount Of power exerted than you
can with 115-inch tire.
You can start 652 lbs. more on muddy
roads with 4-inch tire with the same
amount of power exerted than you can
with 1IS-inch tire.
These tests are enough to convince
our farmers and others that they can
haul more on the county roads with a
four-inch tire with the same amount of
power exerted than they can with the
ordinary tire, besides the wide tire
would not injure their farms as the mar
row tire does, and would preserve our
roads. What say you, Messrs. Commits
sioners and members Of the City Coun-
ell. TO look into this matter? The city
and county are continually spending
thousands Of dollars every year In keep
inn ND the streets of the city and the
county roads. By using four-ineh
tire it would save the city and county
an enormous expense which is paid out
annually for that purpose.
