Ftndlay, o., April 12.-The oil pro-
ducers of this region, which is the most
active part of the Ohio petroleum field,
are in an excited state of mind over a
rapid rise in prices. They predict that
the Standard will soon be paying 81 for
the stuff they condemned as worth only
10 cents barrel a few years ago. The
announcement was made at the office
of the Buckeye Pipe line this morning
that the prices of the day would be
$1.07 and S1.05 for the two grades of
Lima oil. From all that can be learn
ed, the producers in the Lima field have
an abundance of oil in their tanks, but
are declining to sell, evidently on the
belief that the top notch has not been
reached in prices. While some of the
oil producers regard the jump in prices
with suspicion, of which a possible
scheme of the Standard are the basis,
others believe there is an actual oil
famine in sight. The general belief is
that while Ohio crude oil may not re-
main as high as 81. it will command
price sufficient to greatly enhance the
value of the field, which is the second
largest in the world.
Bucyrus, o., April 12-Oil men are
leasing large tracts of land in the
northern part of this county for the
purpose of prospecting, good indica-
tions for which exist. All leases are
on the guarantee that drilling will
commence within sixty days.
Toledo, o., April 12.-Ohio crude oil
jumped 241a cents this morning. The
entire Ohio field is going wild with in
tense activity in putting down new
wells as the result.
Cleveland. o., April 12.-In keeping
with the sharp advance in crude oil
the Cleveland refinrers today marked
up the price of refined oil. Ohio state
test was advanced 371a cents a barrel
Of fifty gallons. The advance in other
grades was still more marked. a full
cent being added per gallon to the price
Of water white, Ohio test headlight oil
and Eocene.
Pittsburg, Pa, April 12.-The extra
ordinary movement in the oil market
this week from III last Saturday to $50
yesterday with net advance of so cents
has revived the fever to the intens-
est degree. There never was a time
when the wildcatter was more alert
than now. Men are in the field day and
night, looking for possible developments
Some idea of the activity in the field of
operations may be had when it is stated
that on April l, the number of new
wells, drilling and rigs in construction
was 1,041. The monthly average of new
operation last year was 232.

BANK FAILS AT FREsON.
1t Figures on Paying Out If it Could Only
Realize.


Realize.
Fresco, Cal, April 1.-THE Fresco
Savings bank suspended business to-
day. notice on the door says the
depositors will be paid in full, but in
ability to realize on securities makes it
impossible to meet demands.
From President +. F. Bernard, who
became connected with the manage
ment August. 1894, it is learned that the
failure is due to accommodating interest
on real estate, mortgages and the in
ability to make other collections due.
The struggle began in the panic of 1893.
The bank was forced to close it's doors
in June, 1894 for day or so, but con-
tinued business. There is due the de-
positors $412, 4S7. The total assets
amount to $710.0O0 which includes notes
and mortgages, secured by real estate
to the amount of $454,710. The bank
premises and other estate is valued at
$175,0 900, and the amunot of actual cash
is $S1 ,0O0 Allowing 100000 for shrink
age in value of real estate and worth
less securities, the bank would still have
assets amounting to 100000 more than
liabilities.

COMPROMISED FOR TEN THOUSAND
Standard OIL Company Pays Mike Tlerney
for blowing Him Tn.

Louisville, KY, April 12.-Mike Tier
ney, a former freight conductor on the
Louisville and Nashville road, has eff
fected compromise "ith the Stand
ard Oil company in his suit for $4,000
damages. Tierney had previously OBJ
tanned two verdicts in the lower court,
the first being for $4,000 and the sec
ond for $4,000. Each of these verdicts
were reversed by the court Of appeals,
however. The Standard Oil company,
through its attorneys, Messrs. Hum
phrey and Davie, have now compromis-
ed with Tierney for $4,000.
A few years ago, Tierney, while a
conductor, was blown up in a naphtha
explosion. He entered the car where
the explosive material was stored with
a lighted lantern, thinking the car only
contained oil. He was led so to believe
from a label on the car. He was SER
louSly injured by the explosion and
fingered between life and death for
some time. He has regained his
health but will be disfigured for life.
