l. E. Hamsher, Of Bradford. who is in
terested in the United States Pipe Line
and Is business partner of ex-Senato
Lewis Emery, says in regard TO the new
line:
at has been complete now almost t
Wilkesbarre, One is q four-inch and III,
other a five-iLch line. One is to be useC
for the transportation of distillate and th'
other TO be crude. The locations of tEt
pump stations have not yet been decided
upon, as We intend to test the pumps anC
fad out just how far We can force the OF
through the pipe before we put up lh'
stations
The connection from Titusville of Brad
ford has been almost completed. The first
pump station will be at Titusville, ard the
other at Warren. The line is 90, and il
will be a success"
Ex-senator J. ". Lee, of Franklin, wha
is in Pittsburg, and is one of the leaders OF
the independent producers said: 1--WE have
no fear of being unable to get all the oil
we want for the producers lines. To read
the accounts of the purchases which the
Standard agents have made it would ap
pear to an outsider that there was TO more
territory left. By scanning a map, how
ever, their property j. found 70 be only "a
small proportion of the whole. There are
still 10 600 barrels dag produced IN the
Bradford field, aud 80 600 barrels daily
north of Allegheny county, and we viii
have our share of It.
The suit of Mrs. NJ V Taylor for $50,
coo damages against the Panhandle rail
road for injuries sustained on the Wash
ingtOn branch Of that road, while return
ing TO her home last July, was TO come up
for trial in the Washington, Pa, courts,
Monday, but Mrs. Taylor died in Pitts
burg Tuesday.
Mrs. Tay lor will he remembered as the
woman engaged in the oil well supply
business previous to the accident. She
had offices in the Fidelity Title and Trust
building in PittstuTg, and had, in addition
70 having established a national reputation
through the IOtariety given her by the
as-the only woman who had
the courage to embark in that peculiar
line Of trade, built up large and luera-
tive business
supply business dates back to about the
time the oil excitement was at its height
in Washington county. She was then en-
gagged as a bOokkeeper for one Of the
leading oil well supply firms, and, being q
shTewd woman, discovered that there
was a shortage of casing in the country
and the demands for large pipe were in
creasing, and, having made a considerable
sum Of money by sharp turns in the oil
market, decided at once to work corner
in casing So she set about blying up all
the casing in the country and in addition
got options on the entire output OF some Of
the largest mills in the country, so that
she was in position to dictate prices to
the trade. The prices were advanced be-
fore the corner was broken to 70 per cent
over The price that prevailed before she
secured control. 1t is said that the deal
neCted Mrs. Taylor close to $40, 900.
After that transaction she engaged as
general agent for all kinds of OIL well
supplies and would go into the field and
make contracts the same as agents of the
sterneT sex, and when it came to talking
oil well supply she was match for any
of the SmoOth-tOngued agents.
The injuries to her spine, and from
which she has since been confined to bed
tI llAutcs- were eu-L1lHcu til j ull . ldsl-
while on board of passenger train that
was approaching Washington. The con-
ductor was attempting to make what is
known to railroaders as flying" switch
She was thrown with violence against the
back of seat and badly crippled. The
best physicions in the country have been
called into consultation. but have not been
able to furnish relief. She was taken to
Cambrid geboYO Crawford county last fall
and spent the winter there. Two weeks
ago she was taken to Pittsburg, and stop
ed at the MOnODgahels House, her con
dition was such that no one was permitted
10 see her but her nurses and attending
physician. Some of the ablest legal talent
in VI ashingtOn county had been retained
and the case would have been stubbOrnly
contested. This is the fourth time the case

a widow with two children, gil and
bOv.
