SIR: Ny attention was called to an
article In the Evening NelCS Of May goth
headed Another Oil Well" which l, as
the Superintendent OF A. A. hopkins &
Co., OF Buffalo, n. Y, wish TO expose.
The assertion that Toronto parties had
put up a rig at the A. Il. Laughlin mill
AZ Martins Ferry, o., as well as the
succeeding one, that the we'll is guard
ed, are false, the facts being that put
up the rig aud put the we'll in pumping
order for the Laughlin Nail Company,
and they had the pumping done, paid
the bills, and stopped the pumping when
IL suited them without consulting any
ones interest out side of their own,
which they mad a perfect right to do, as
the well is their own. As to the pecul-
lar action OF the owners OF the new rig
on the Dorsch farm, adjoining the
Laughlin Nail Company, ETC., as well as
the other assertions and insinuations in
said article, all have to say AZ present
is that we are carrying cut our contract
with the farmers in that place. And
the author Of the NelOS article is either
pItifuIly ignorant Of the oil business or
has Intentionally misrepresented the
facts. Il. l. 1HOMPSON'

Last night Charles Kuckuck met with
q serious accident at Martins Ferry.
He was working on the stage OF the
Opera House, arranging some new
scenery, and while in the act of putting
nm some new slides that were attached
to heavy plank, some part OF IL gave
away and threw him and Charles
w. Swartz to the stage, distance OF
about fifteen feet. Swartz was slightly
hurt, but Kuckuck was more unIortn-
nate, for in the fall he broke his left
leg at the ankle joint and above. Drs.
Hobensack and Williams were called
in and dressed his limb, and he was
removed to mis- home in oneo Tweedy's
wagons. 1t will be very apt TO lay him
up for two months or more.

Grounds yesterday afternoon. The
weather was very proDitious. Only once
did Old Sol hide his face behind the

have discouraged the ardor Of the boys
or demIened the enthusiasm OF their
admirers, who were out In full force.
The exercises took place on the track
IN front OF the grand stand. At two
o'clock the enclosure was filed with We
hicles along the quarter stretch, and
fully twelve hundred people were IN the
grand stand. The fair sex predomina-
ted, TIE girls wore bright costumes
and the attractive class cOlOrS, purple
and white, were worn In the shape OF
ribbons. 1t was nearly half-past two
O'clock when the exercises started, and

concluded. Each test OF strength

A valuable Horse Shot.

A horse valued at $500, owned by t.
J. Miller, the we'll known North Main
street business man, was shot last
night. The animal had been sick for
several days, aud last night became
nearly uncomfortable. Two veterinary
surgeons were called, but they pro-
nounced the horse could not be cured,
and IT was shot. The horse had been
in the stable with dog which went
mad not long ago. The animal was bit
ten, and it is believed that the mad
dogs bite caused the horses death.

One of the queerest musical instruments
ever known, and perhaps the only one of its
kind, has reached here from Greenville,
east Tennessee. The queer instrument is a
violin made from gourd, and it is 50 years
old.
The strangest, weirdest music that ever
was heard comes from it. The tones are
fine and soft and float on the air as from
the land of spirits. James Anderson Tay-
lor, governor of Tennessee, and uncle of
the famous Taylor boys who fiddled their
way through Tennessee during a recent
gubernatorial campaign, used TO play on
it. He made music from the gourd fiddle
at the reception to Andrew johnson by the
people of Greenville, his native town, Just
after he was made president of the United
States. He played the "Old Virginia
Reel" the Fishers Hornpipe" and many
other things, and the president "hoed it
down" with everybody present and enjoyed
it more than he could tell.
The gourd grew at townsville in the said
state and it, with the neck, which is OF
poplar, is l6 inches long. The keys are com
mon violin keys, the strings catgut and the
sounding board of leather from a stitch
down shoe, while the bridge is of poplar.
The bow is of dark wood, and the hairs
black, being plucked from a horses tail.
The older the fiddle grows the better it is,
so II. G. Atkinson says, who owns it.-San
Francisco Examiner.

they forced their way through the doors

As a poet, whatever comparisons may
be made with his predecessors or con.
temporaries, at home or abroad, what
ever just criticisms may be recorded, we
believe it will be found at the end that a
large part of Lowell's verse has passed
into literature, there to remain. The
originality, vitality, intensity and beauty
of the best of il are self evident. AL.
though true, spontaneous poet, his life
had other strong interests and engross.
ing occupations, and the volume of his
verse does not equal that Of Others
whose careers have extended beside his
own, his impression as poet upon his
time has not equaled that of Others
1t may. indeed, be said that If as
strongly poetic in nature as they, he
would have been dominated as exclu.
sively as were they by the poetic mood.
However this may be, the quality of his
genius, as shown in his best work, was,
we believe, quite rs fine as that of any
poet writing English in his day. No
one can read his last volume Of verse
without being impressed anew by the
vigor, variety and spontaneous charac-
ter of Lowell's poetic gift. Even his
literary faults are of such nature as to
testify to the keenness Of his thought
and the abundance of his intellectual
equipment. Century.
