being the Fluhsrty run we'll, located
ten miles up Fishing Creek from New

nine miles further up the creek. The
Fluharty well is throwing gravel and
sand over the top Of the derrick, and
spraying oil to half that height She
has prospects for q fifteen or twenty
hundred barrel we'll, according to yes-
terday's report. Tho Shenango is not
SO strong as the Flularty, but has good
indications for a big we'll. The owners
have sent to Sistersville. for tanks and
tools to shut of gas in the Fluharty

One OF tho most terrible tragedies that

took place at the mouth Of Six Mile
creek, twenty-five miles south Of this
city on Guyandotte river last night, at
half past 8 o'clock. Albert franklin

and Bub Drake, aged twenty-five, lived
with them. Drake took his fiddle aud
went out on the front porch TO practice
after supper, and q short time alter
dark was about TO leave for his bed
when he noticed some one approaching
on horseback. When the party reach
ed his house, he was requested Ee-eome
to the fence. He did SO, when the un'
known man shot him dead with q Win

family, who were awakened by the shot,
got out the man could not be seen,
though the rattle Of the hoofs OF the
horse could be heard in the distance.
No one seems to have an idea about

New YoRK, August 1l,-After lunch
at the Victoria to-day on his arrival
here the President and Col. Lamont
entered carriage and were driven to
Dr.. Bryant's house. There consulta-
tion was held. DR., Bryant was of the
opinion that the Presidents trip to
Washington had the effect Of staying
the progress back to health he was
making at the sea shore. The Presi-
dent complained that his weight had
not been reduced materially and he suf'
fersd from superauous avoirdupols.
DR.. Bryant packed up portmanteau
and entered the carriage with the Pres
ident. COL Lamont advised that, to
all inquiries respecting the Presidents
health, the assurance should be given
that he never felt better in his life.
This programme was carried out to the
letter. Col. Lamont entered another
carriage and the party drove back to
the Victoria,
At $3.50 o'clock they started for the
boat. Colonel Lamont did not accom-
pany them. The carriage was driven
very slowly. and did not reach the Fall
River line dock, at the foot OF Barclay
street, until nearly O'Clock. The car
riage was driven out on the dock to the
gang plank Of the Puritan.
Dr.. Bryant alighted, followed by the
President. His step was not as elastic
as when he came from Buzzard's Bay
last week. He walked slowly,
carrying a light overcoat on his
arm. HisAyes looked heavy. They
stood for moment at the foot
of the grand staircase. The purser
stepped forward and led tho way to the
cabin to be occupied by the President.
It is known as the Presidents room,"
being the room usually occupied
by the President OF the steam.
boat line. It is situated for
ward on the hurricane deck under the
pilot house. It is tho most palatlal and
coolest room on the Puritan. Captain
Judson dropped in and paid his re.
spects. DR.. Bryant then came out and
said: ''Mr. Cleveland is in splendid
health. Feels flrst.class; tip top"
It's 1t not strange, doctor, that the
President should leave the seat OF gov
ernment while Congress is engaged
with legislation OF vitality important
character.
Dr.. Bryant said he was not prepared
to criticise the President. perhaps o
domestic event requires his presence"
was suggested. ut would be unprofes.
sional on my part to speak OF that mat
ter"
a colored porter who waited on the
President said when he left the state
room, Just before the boats departure,
at 5 o'clock, that tho President was un.
dressing to 20 to bed.
DR.. Bryant, when questioned about
It, was very reticent. He finally said:
"The President is only lying down. II
he feels better he will get up to dinner
at 1880 o'clock"
The impression prevailed on the
Puritan that the Presidents condition
was far from well.
