LONDON, April 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon
the victory of Mr.. Richard Croker's
Eau DE Gallie, formerly Utica, in the
race for the Crawford plate at New
market, yesterday, says:
erin, Woolsthorpe and Estar are
sprinters capable of testing any ordi-
narp horse, and the decisive victory
hints that The visitors are likely to win
many races. In training, feeding and
riding, the Americans act contrary to
all Newmarket notions, but hostile criti-
cism will now have to be varied. Simms
proved that lie knew his business thor
oughly. When Eau De Gallie swerved
a bit under the whip, the jockey coolly
steadied his horse. and he came on again
with winning rush that established
the riders reputation as horseman of
great ability"
The Globe this afternoon, also COM
menting upon the race, remarks: "Our
American cousins should be well salts
fed with the result of the race for the
Crawford plate. Their colt certainly
won in handsome style. Simms is q
smart specimen of the American jockey,
Our people, unaccustomed to trans
atlantic notions, laughed as he perched
like monkey on his horses shoulders.
He had all the shining lights of the
world of equitation opposed to him, but
at the start he fairly stole march on
them and won like an artist"

Perry was asked concerning his treas

The mystery Of the disappearance of
the century.old Philadelphia turnpike
milestone, that marked the distrnce Of
exactly one mile from the bridge over
the Brandywinc out along the turnpike,
has at length, although but partly so,
been found out
The old milestone is now lying along
the fence i'll front of the residence Of
Edward II. brennan, on the turnpike
road, about 600 feet beyond the present
city line. The greater mystery yet Is
who moved il there. Nobody knows.
President Candy and George A. Elliott,
secretary of the Philadelphia Turnpike
Co., know nothing Of it. They said yes.
| terday that no orders had been given for
removal.
City Solicitor Elliott says their is
another milestone two miles out from the
bridge up on Penny Hill. 1t is u curious
fact that where the old stone now lies is
exactly one mile FROM the last mentioned
milestone, which is, as a coincidence,
| also exactly one milo from the new pro-
| posed city line according to the provis.

now at Dover.
In addition, IL should be stated that
Chief Engineer Wilson of the city sur.

structcd to touch or remove it. In fact
he knew nothing of the disappearance
of the old landmark until he saw the

GOOD PREDICTED FROM THE FURRY

An Oil Man Says tho Raise in Price Will
Benefit the whole Country and Tend to
Help on Good Times--Pittsburg Specu-
Iators Cautious Yesterday - Standard
Promptly Forces Up tho Price--Tho

Associated PrsIs Dlsratsh BIZ Special wtrsL
PIrTsRuRa, Pa, April 17.--oil has
now reached that dizzy height where
spectators are afraid to deal in it,and as
result there was not q sale ON the
Pittsburg Exchange during the first half
hour this morning, while the sales on
the Oil City Exchange during the same
period aggregated only 1900 barrels.
The Standard again put up its price 90
cents to $3.50, and May option was
offered here at the opening for $270.
Cash oil was offered at 1895. There
were no buyers and the price gradually
dropped to $3.50, then To S2.67, and ut
1890, $2.65 was bid. While many
brokers are predicting SO oil this week,
few of them have sufficient faith in their
own prophecy to invest.
The Standard Oil Co., through its
purchasing agents, has secured posses
sion of several more slices of oil-pro-
ducng territory. The West Pennsyl-
vania Oh. CO., n Standard concern, has
bought the remaining three-fourths' in
terest in the Warrington and Fairview,
w. Va, territory, containing about 1, geo
acres and 300 wells, with production
of 5000 barrels u day. Tho Standard
has also purchased thrce-tifths' inter.
est in the Carter Oil Co. al SiStcrville,
w. Va, at II price III this neighborhood
of 100000. The Carter Co. owned
about 100 wells with daily production
of 1000 barrels. David Kirk, one Of
the best posted men ia tue oil business,
in discussing the present boom in oil,
said:
petroleum will be the means OF
bringing the country out Of the period OF
depression that has prevailed for tho
past two years. That was the case in
1873, when our finances were at low
ebb. Oil made the first advance, and as
| it went up in price, the business of the
country improved. The same was true
in 1884. The most important effect OF
the increased price ON the finance of the
country will be the increase in the
amount Of gold brought into the coun-
try in payment for tho petroleum We
export. Oh is paid for in yellow gold,
and is one of our NEST important ex-
ports. We ship something like 20,000,.
900 barrels annually, aud with the price
hanging about so cents, the aggregate
receipts from this source only amount
to 100000 Nov, with oil ut the
present prices we would receive some
thing like S45, 100000 for our exports,
This would he clear gain Of $S5, COO
900 year, which would ~ far towards
otf-setting the heavy experts OF gold
during the past two yesrs.

A Resident OF Odessa Drops Dead while
ON n Visit TO His Daughter In This city.
Capt. Wilson w. Walker, a resident of
Odessa, came to Wilmington yesterday
tovisit his daughter, Mrs. Andrew
Collins, No. S27 Poplar street. His
niece, girl of years, was with him.
When he entered the house about $50
o'clock the captain handed his daughter
a bunch of violets, and Mrs. Collins
took the flowers and put them in glass
of water, leaving her father in the sit
ting room.
While she was absent from. the room
her attention was called by hearing a
loud groan, and hurrying into the sitting
room again, she found her father lying on
the lounge gasping for breath. Tie died
without speaking word. Dr. William
p. Miller pronounced death due to heart
failure.
Captain Walker was a man of striking
appearance, and was universally liked
in the town and neighborhood where
he lived. lie acquired his title of cap
tain by having served in the army, and
it may be added with much credit to
himself and his country. He was a
member of Major Andrews Post, G. A.
r., of Odessa, and was particularly
we'll known among the G. A. r. mon in
this State.
Deceased was about 65 years old and
leaves a widow and three daughters.
His death was probably due to heart
disease, and his familiar figure will be
greatly missed in his native town, where
he was so well known and regarded
with the kindliest OF feelings by every
one.
On his way up from Middletown yes.
terday he chatted Wild acquaintance
on the train, and seemed in the best of
health and spirits. The family were
notified of his death shortly after it
occurred.

SCHOOL FIGHT IN MANITOBA
Furore Caused by Archbishop
Langevin's Order.
STANDS BY PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
Will Excommunicate Catho-
lies Who Do Not.

MINNEAPoLrs, MISN., April ia
special to tho Tribune from Winnipeg,
Man, says:
Nothing since the beginning of Catho-
lie school struggle in this country, has
created u greater sensation than the an
nouncement of the Catholic archbishop,
that those Catholics who henceforth
lend their aid and influences to those who
would abolisl. Catholic parochial schools
will be accommodated Many promi-
nent Catholics have, during the struggle
of the church, expressed themselves in
favor Of q national school system, and
among these the announcement has
created the greatest CONSERVATION.
At first it was thought to be simply q
move on the part of Archbishop
Langevin and done without either the
authority of Mgr. Satolli or Of the Pope;
but to-day it was learned positive that
Langevin's action is based on authority
received direct from Rome.
1t is understood that Archbishop
Langcviu last week received a papal
encycical on the subject. This encyC!i-
cal reviews the entire matter and points
ont that the cases in the United states
and Canada are analogous. LII Canada
it points out that Catholic schools were
guaranteed by the treaty und By the
Constitution, while no such guarantee
was given in the States The parochial
schools belong to Manitoba Catholics by
right Of treaty, it declares, and on this
ground it afiirms that the Catholics who
continue to lend their aid to those who
would take away these rights shall moi
be received into communion with the
church. Archbishop Langcyin, speak.
ing on the matter, was most emphatic
These were his words;
THE Hierarchy of the Catholic
Church has spoken, and all those whc
do not follow the Hierarchy are moi
Catholics. When the Hierarchy ha:
spoken there is no use for any Catholic
to say the contrary, for if he does he i:
no longer a Catholic. Such man may
carry the title, but declare this as al
archbishop.
"lsay, and say it with plain authority
Catholic who does not follow thu
Hierarchy on this school question is nj
moro q Catholic. Where is the society
which will give him authority to cal
himself a Catholic, when |, in MI
authority as Catholic bishop, declar,
that such man has no right to tn,
name? Let us repeat: The Catholic
Hierarchy have not the slightest dcsr,
to govern the country, as has been freel!
and falsely charged, for we are bounl
by the law and will submit to the law
as every one else must. In God W
| trust This is our motto. We will
stand by the Constitution of thecountry
but we will have no Goddess schools"
tits reported that meeting of Romal
Catholic dignitaries will shortly be hell
in New York, to discuss and take som
action on the Manitoba school question
The church in Manitoba is e1pectipi
some aid from their church in the Unite'
States, and although Mgr. Satolli's juris
diction does not extend to Manitoba, |
is understood that Catholics here antici
pate that he will throw his great inhu
ence in their behalf.

DurRnt Troubled With Hideous Dreams
While Asleep--fiis Mothers Appeal to
tho Public.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
SAN FRANcIsCo, CAL, April 17.--W.
II. L. Durant, the young man under ar
rest for the murder OF Marian Williams,
and who is suspected also of having
killed two young women whose bodies
were found in Emanuel Baptist Church,
this city, is either preparing to plead
insanity, or else the most hideous visions
come to him in his cell at the Central
Police Station at night. 70 all appear
ance, when Durant retired last night,
he had entirely regained his composure
and was not suffering from the mental
strain so apparent Monday night, when
in dream he fought some imaginary
foe.
When he stretched himself out on his
mattress last night and prepared to sleep
he said that he did not wish TO be dis
turbcd, as he was tired and worn out
after the excitement of the day. About
o'clock this morning Officer Smith. who
was ON duty ut the prison door, and Ser
geant Shields, the prison-keener, were
startled by long, loud cry. Smith ran
to the cell. The cries came from Durant,
who was evidently suffering from an
other hideous night mare. He tossed on
his mattress and screamed londer and
louder. The noise made by the approach
of the officer seemed to awaken him, as
on Monday night, and he turned over
on his side and prepared to sink into a
quiet sleep.
The clothing Durant had on the night
he is supposed to have killed Miss Will
liams does not show any trace of blood.
The mother of Durant has made an APP
peal to the public, through the news
papers, asking for o suspension OF
judgment in the case of her son until
other than circumstantial evidence is
produced. The chain of evidence against
Durant is growing stronger.
