The Iron Duke in making landing
below liverpool on Monday night TO
make some repairs struck the tow of the

injured somewhat, b1t the tow Of the
wood escaped damage.
Pilot Lee Anshutz was at Marietta
when the Lizzie Bay passed awaiting
the arrival of The Annie Laurie out OF
the Muskingum river.
The marks at the landing last even

The Bedford is laid up at Pittsburg
on account of the ice, her wheel not be-

TIE WASHINGTON OIL FIELD.
Two Good Producers Brought in Out
There.

Two Good Producers Brought in Out
There.
The Warrington oil field has recently
come TO the front with some good pro-
ducers, and il now seems certain that
good big pool of oil will be developed in
that region.
The South Penn Oil Company owns
the major portion Of the good territory
in the Warrington and Fairview dis
tricts, and to this company the credit
is due for the opening development OF
the fields.
1t has been drilling away in these dis
tricts for several years, unmindlul OF
the gushers which nave been struck in
other places From recent develop
mentS it would seem that their efforts
have been rewarded, and in manner
such as to leave no doubt as to the in
trinsic value OF the territory.
Some months ago the South Penn and
A. ]. MONTGOMERY drilled d well on the
Straight farm, located about three and
one-half miles southeast from Manning
ton. TO the Gordon sand, and secured
500 barrel well. An attempt was then
made TO drill some of the other wells
down. which we're producing from the
Big Injun, but owing to the fact that
only small holes had been drilled origi-
nally, aud that there is continual cave
from the bottom of the Iujun 70 the top
of the Gordon watch has TO be caSed, IL
was found next 10 impossible 10 get
these wells down to the lower sand.
Burt & Preston, however. drilled a
well down to the Gordon and nearly 800
feet below it in hope OF striking a fifth
sand, but beyond few shells aud other
fossils they found no regular oil sands.
The latest news from the field was re-
ceievd yesterday. Information was
brought in that the well on the Edgar
Conway farm was making 50 barrels an
hour from the Gordon. 1t is located
about . 600 feet north of the old well on
the Straight farm.
The same company'S well on the Eddy
and Tenant farm also came in yeSter-
day sad was reported last night to be
making 25 barrels an hour.
Their No. Kennedy has improved,
and instead of being good for only 80
barrels a day, it is now making about
IS barrels a day.

Yesterday


About the only outward semblance OF
an observance OF Washington's birth
day in this city, yesterday, was the
closing OF the banks, schools and the
city Offices. The national colors were
only displayed in about half-a-dozen
localities, business went on as usual,
and even the county officials kept right
on with their duties. There was not
even an attempt at a celebration of any
sort, although references were made TO
the day in several of the churches last
evening, and Rev. DR.. Cooke, OF the
Second Presbyterian church, delivered
an excellent and interesting address
to his congregation.
At Bellaire there was parade and at
Martins Ferry there were appropriate
exercises in the schools.

COUNCIL CALLED
BY THE MAYOR TO MEET IN JOINT SESSION"
TONIGHT,
When The Remainder Of the Republican Pro-
gramme is to Be Pat ThrOugh-Iheir
Absences Back in Town.
Yesterday Mayor Caldwell issued

Yesterday Mayor Caldwell issued
call for Council TO meet in joint session
this evening "for the consideration OF
unfinished business"
This call is just a little peculiar.
Council has heretofore been called to
meet in joint session to take action up
on the death of some high official, or
for some similar business not strictly
appertaining to the government
of the city, but it is very
doubtful if q case can be found
in all the history Of the city where the
Mayor, or even members OF the body
themselves, called joint session OIL
hand for the consideration OF "unhn-
ished business" or any other business
connected with the administration OF
the city government. The ordinances
or statutes DO nor seem 10 provide for
any such call. and heretofore, as was
the case when Council met TO attend
the funeral Of the late Mayor Sweeney,
there has been no roll call at joint seS-
sions, and all proceedings have been very
informal. To call joint meeting under
the circumstances at present existing
smacks a good deal of the Republican
scheme to capture the offices, about
which so much has been said during the
past two weeks.

When Council met in Joint session,
ten days ago. the meeting was held in
the regular manner, the First Branch
entering the cham Der of the Second upon
the usual and formal invitation from
that body, and the Branches separated
upon a motion TO adjourn being put
and carried. To be sure, there
was one officer. in the person of tho
third member OF the Water Board, still
10 be elected. but under the precedents
obtaining during long series OF years
the session could only be resumed by
another invitation from the Second
Branch addressed to the First and
stating the object of the meeting.
Section - of the Ordinance in Rela-
ton 10 Elections, which sets forth the
mode of holding q joint session for the
election of officers, says: The
Second Branch shall give notice b enc
proper messenger to the Fist branch
that it is ready TO proceed to the cleo
tiop NJ such umcerS Of the city as are
REQUIRED TO be elected by the Council.
Thereupon the First Branch shall pro-
coed in a body to the chamber of the
Second Branch" etc.
This was the method pursued at the
last Joint session, aud it would seem TO
follow, in the absence OF any definite
power given the Mayor to usurp this
authority, that another joint session
for the ELECTION OF such Offices OF the
city" would have to be called in the
good old way.

spent in this. city. His career in the
glass business commenced when he be-
gan work as q book keeper for the firm
of Adams i Co, where his business
ability and manly, straightforward
habits soon earned for him al interest

brother, founded glass house in Wells
burg, the firm name being Dalzell Bros.
& Gilmore. During the natural gas ex-
element at Findlay, O., the plant was

1t will at once be said, perhaps, that
the Democrats have nothing to fear
from this joint session, although it may
be called illegally, as there is Demo
cratic majority of two on joint ballot.
But is there? There was a Democratic
majority of two on joint ballot on the
face of the election returns, but in the
light of some recent history this ina
iority" doesn't cut any particular figure.
Mr.. Horstman's word is out that he
will vote for Mr.. Ebeling, for instance,
and there are indications Of very taugi'

they had this joint session called MIR.
