A PECULIAR ACCIDENT TO AN EAST WHEEL
ING HAN.
Joseph Gsbhar Appears a! His Hons With Bal
Wound in Els Left Side. Made by a Pair
of Scissors-Hs May Die.

Yesterday forenoon very peculiar
accident, or possibly a case OF intended
suicide. came to light.
Mr.. Joseph Gebhart, fresco painter,
and once janitor OF Beethoven Hall, who
resides on the east end OF Eighteenth
street, procured Urge pair of scissors
earlyin the morning, and informed bis
family that he was going to the PENN
sula cemetery where his children are
buried, and trim up their graves. He
was not seen after that till about II
o'clock in the morning. when he appear
ed at his daughters residence on Main
street, below Twenty first, in q very
weak condition. On examination it was
found that there was large
cash directly over the left nipple,
not long but very deep. Mr.. Geo'
hart was just able to speak, AID from
what could be understood from him,
be said he had tho scissors in his left
pants pocket, the point sticking out.
ward, and had tripped and fell, the
point of one blade penetrating his left
breast. He was at once taken to Dr..
Taylor'S ofEce. where the physician gave
him all medical attention possible, and
A. a late hour last night said he was do
ing fairly well, but was unable to talk,
and the outcome is uncertain.
What seems strange about the case Is
that the scissors penetrated the shirt
and never touched the coat or vest the
man had on.

ct Warrington Turns Out TO BE Good
One-Important Leases at SteubenvilIe.
Miscellaneous Oil News.
Greenlee & Forst's Floyd No. 5, at
Warrington, came in yesterday and is
making 80 barrels per hour with only
oAe bit in the sand. 1t will likely increase
this output considerably when drilled
in. II is 1900 feet south and short
distance west OF the Delmar Oil Com
pany's Floyd No. 3 and the
South Penn Oil Company's
BealI No. l, both of which were light
wells. This we'll is the farthest west OF
any completed we'll in the field and will
give new life to developments in its
vicinity. 1t was thought when the
Floyd No. and Beall No. I came in
dry that the western edge had been
reached, but this we'll shows that there
is still q considerable extension OF the
pool 10 the south and west OF the light
well.
There is considerable excitement In
Fayette county, Pa. Test wells are
drilling in all parts Of the western and
southern sections. The well on the
Finley farm near New Salem is causing
some excitement. Wells are going down
in the Merritt3town and Masonto"n
districts.
The oil well on the Feather farm at
Goulds, near SteuoenvilIe, O., pumped
200 barrels yesterday. The tanks are
full, aud the third, containing 25O, is
being erected. & large quantity OF the
oil which flowed yesterday was wasted,
as the tanks overlooked. A tiVe-inch
pipe line will be constructed lmmedl-
ately.
The Monongahela Gas Company has
erected derrick on the farm OF James
Harlan, near Bentleysville, Pa, and
will commence drilling in few days.
This well is over q mile from any 9th er,
and due west of the Maple creek gas
field.
II is reported that number OF Pitts
burg oil men, who have been in Steu-
benville for several days, have paid
S25, 600 for leases approxtmating $500
acres in that section.
F. A good we'll is reported at the mouth
of Cow creek, near st. Mary's, w. Va,
but it is hard TO say what 1t will make,
as IL has not yet been pumped,

Chemical Engine Company; j. Il. DEFY,

The fire apparently originated at the
bottom Of the elevator shaft aud swept up
ward with tremendous swiftness. About
thirty persons were at work in the manu-
featuring portion Of the building In the up
per stories, but all escaped unhurt. After
the interior of the structure had been par
italy burned out, IL became apparent that
the front and rear walls were in danger Of
falling, but Fire Chief Elliott permitted
mis- men 20 advance with their hose "a. Tar
possiole. both from front and rear. Sud
denly the front wall sagged forward and
the great mass Of hot brick, timber and
iron crashed 10 the sidewalk with
tremenduous roar. Almost at the same in
slant the rear wall crumoled and fell into
the alley at the rear Above the tumult Of
the panic-stricken crowd rose thelshriek5
of The wounded and imprisoned hremen.
Sixteen In all were In the path OF the
tumbling walls, but ten escaped alive after
a few seconds Of thrilling experiences.
Their comrades worked TO rescue the
diving and remains of the dead IN the ruins
amid binding smoke, and all were recoy-
cred. but none of the six had survived,
and their limp and crushed remains
were in some cases almost unrecogniz-
able. Chief Elliott is being roundly
scored for risking the lives OF his men
when, as is claimed, there was no call for
such an hazard. He says that be had 20
reason 10 believe the walls were unsafe
ard that the men were only doing their
regular duties as fremen. The walls OF the
building as was well known, were cOnsid.
cred especially thin, 50 much that the city
building inspectors had refused 20 allow
the owners OF a new building now being
erected on adjoining property to use the
partition wall. II is considered probable
that an investigation as 70 the necessity
for risking the mems lives will be made.
