has done REMARKABLY we'll in his Ohio
operations, having a splendid oil
. production, with lots Of undeveloped |
territory yet on hand, and at the
present price of the crude he finds he
has nothing to complain Of

City few hours last Friday, and
took occasion to say goodbye to a
number of his friends for the winter
He intends going to Ashville, N. c.,
not necessarily to benefit his health,
which we are glad to note is quite
good at present, but to preserve what
he has got, his physicians advising
this course rather than take the risk
of contracting colds during the win

back in time to help open the trout
log season next spring.

The Oil City papers tell of a ter
rife explosion being heard about 1880
Monday evening of last week, but
which no one has been able to locate.
1t shook the whole city, causing gen.
eral alarm, and reports are to the eff
feet that the shock was felt at
Franklin, Reno, Fertig and other
surrounding towns. Various rumors
as to the cause of the explosion we're
circulated, but at last accounts it was
still mystery, although the general
belief was that a nitro.gly glycerine mag.
nzine had let loose. Andrew Carr
and John Noble of this place, who
are working in the oil field back Of
President, heard the report very dis
tinctly.
