COPIOUS OIL FLOW.
Excitement in Ohio and Indiana
District increases.

STEUBENVILLE, O., April "a
Much oil excitement prevails here.
Mcconnell Well No. 2, on the Gould
field, was shot, and in twenty-four
hours produced 1872 barrels. 1t is now
claimed that this field will be a good
one. There are now 2O6 producers in
the field out in the western part of the
county. At Lima there was no
change in the price of oil, and there is
more conf1dece in the belief that the
price will remain near the dollar
mark At Portland, Ind, monster
wen has just been shot, eleven miles
from here, on the White lease. The
wen spouted oil, and was a hard one
to shut in.

Potomac Flats Case Argument VIII
Soon BE Concluded.
The hearing OF the Potomac fats case
by Chief Justice Bingham and Associate
justices Hagner and McComas, OF tie Dis
trict supreme court, was adjourned
yesterday tin Monday. It is thought the
argument VIII be concluded next week,
probably on Wednesday.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart con-
cluded yesterday morning his presentation
of the government case against the heirs
Of George, Peter, and william L. Dunlop
and Col Enoch Totten closed the argu-
uleut for these heirs.
Mr.. II. o. Claughton then took up the
case on behalf OF certain claimants, under
Chief Justice John Marshall, who hold
that they are euttled 10 tie entire bed OF
the river from shore to hore uuder
colonial grants. Mir. CIaughton read at
length from Chief Justice Hale, OF Eng
land, and Justice Gray, of the United
States Supreme Court, TO show that the
king has a private claim and a public claim
TO lands; that they are perfectly distinct
and that when be disposes Of one the other
does not at all go with it.
''The king sells his lands," be said; ''he
does notput the money in the publictreasury,
but in his pocket" This showed, he
argued, that it is only certain privileges,
as OF fishing, that the king OWNS in trust
for the public; his private ownership is not
as trustee at all. Upon ulis distinct private
ownership OF Lord Baltimore the Marshall
claim is based.
Annie F. Harvie and others were per-
mitted yesterday TO file papers under the
pending suit as heirs of Chief Justice
Marshall. w. r. Smith, as attorney, made
the application.

The eight-oared shell crew of the p otomac
Boat Club VIII leave al $50 O'Clock to-
morrow morning over the Baltimore and
Ohio for Annapolis and in the afternoon
a race with the naval cadets VIII be
rowed over the mile and half course.
The Potomaccrew has taken hard practice
when the weather and the condition of
the water permitted, bat the opportunities
for rowing have been so few in the past
week that the crew is not in as good CON
dition as the officers of the club would
like to see.
Notwithstanding this haIdioap the crew
Will keep its engagement and VIII no doubt
make good showing against the Middies.
1t was hoped that the race might be
postponed until next week in order that the
localcrew might havemoreti time for prepara
tion but the Middies want the next two
weeks for uninterrupted practice prepar-
atory TO their race with the University of
Pennsylvania over'the same course.

athletes will compete with the coming
admiralS on the same afternoon in a game

BOOKIES MADE A WINNING
Downed the Talent in a Dull Days
Business at the Outlaw Track.
Claim Was Made 4 fter the Last Race
That Top Gallant Was Ringer.
Kazan Was a Good Thing.

The cloudy weather caused yesterdays
attendance at Alexander Island to be
unusually slight. In fact IT was the poorest
day Of the meeting There were only eight
bookmakers on and they spent most OF
their time looking around the ring.
1t was reported early in the day that the
Alexander Island officials intended TO
make application to the New York State
racing commission for reinstatement Of all
OF the horemen who have been ruled off
OF the Jockey Club tracks Tor violating
the rule relative 10 winter racing. 1t is
claimed that the Jockey Club has no right
to dictate who shall or shall not compete
for the premiums t?i hung up by the racing
associations.
After the last race a claim was made
that Topgallant, the winner, was a ringer.
As anyone who has ever seen the horse could
pick him out OF a bunch on sight the
owner was simply asked few questions and
the numbers Were run up. He was heavily
played the last time he was out. but
seemed short of work.
The bookies had away the best of the DAYS

of them was at the prohibitive odds of

owing to the many odds on favoriteS that

favorite. He got off well. aud was lead

bride slipped. There is co doubt that
Ham was trying, as he had snug little
bet down himself.
Pickaway was made the fayorite in the
opening event, and went to the post at

prominent until near the wire, where he
came fast, aud ran into second place, be-
hind Columbus.
On his last race Sharon looked good

came in on Brogan, and he receded to 8 to

two lengths.
Flushing was made a to 10 ravorite in
the third race. He Went to the front ON

There was apparently nothing in the

Colored SwindIer Passed Himself OFF
as an Unpaid w itne-s.
1t requires a nervy man to swindIe the
police court out of money by practicing n
bunco game on Clerk Harper, who has
been committing criminals To the jail and
workhouse for numerous years. But it
appears that George Price, young col
ored man, was provided with just the
sort of cast-iron nerves necessary to COM
NIT such an act, and Clerk Harper now
pleads guilty to have been buncoed by Price
out of SIPS. This sum represents one
witness fee which the colored man OBJ
tanned by combination of false pretenses
and forgery.
1t appears that several days ago an
other colored man, named Joseph Davis,
was government witness in a case i'll
Judge Miller's court. For some rcason
Davis did not ask for his witness certificate,
which, when presented at the office of
the District Commissioners, entities him
to S1.25 for one days attendance.
Price learned of Davis failure and
presenting himself To Clerk tTkeph Harper,
represented himself to be Axis and re-
Davis signature and presenting it at
the proper office re eceivrd tie amount
named. Yesterday the only original Jo-
seph Davis called on the clerk for the
certificate and that official learned for
the first time that he had been 'conned"
out of $1.25 and the police court success
fully buncoed.
Detective Lacey was assigned to the
case and arrested the skillGul Price mt
his home on Nj street, near Twenty -fiftn,
