une. "I have just come up from New

TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS:

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, August Is
VIM. Gibson, employed at McCandless'
cabinet works here, had the little fin
ger Of his left hand torn from its sock
cts and two others badly lascerated
while at work on shaping machine.
He may lose all the fingers.
E. f. Vernon, a B. & o. brakeman,
had his right hand so badly mashed
while coupling cars at Monongah juno
ton. near Clarksburg, last night, that
his fingers on the injured hand will have
to be amputated. This accident leaves
Vernon in a bad way, as his other hand
was badly mashed about one year ago
in the same manner.

Commercial Agent Murphy reports
from Luxembourg that the Russian Pc
troIeum producers and the Standard
ON Company are likely to enter into
sharp competition for the worlds mar
kots instead Of combining and dividing
the trade
il this be true the Russian refners
have q large undertaking before them.
So fur as price alone is concerned the
advantage of the Russian oil is unques-
toned; and this petroleum now under
sells tho American product in Compel
tive markets. But it is pointed out
that the Russian oil is notably inferior
to the American kerosene. and usually
requires a specially constructed lamp
to secure satisfactory Illuminating re-
suits. In attempting, therefore. to Sc
cure trade now held by American oil
refners the Russian petroleum produc-
crs viii have TO do much more than to
name low prices-they will have to
overcome am universal prejudice in IA
vor of American oil among those who
are using that product
lt has not been easy to down The
Standard OH Company AT home. and it
is not likely to prove an easy task

THE WARREN GAMES.
They VIII all be Played Here-Base Ball
Comment.

The Warren management has consent
ed to the playing OF all the champion
ship contests between that club and
Wheeling on the home grounds for the
reason that the receipts will probably
be larger and the expense less, than if
part of them were played in Warren. In
this the manager of the Warrens made
no mistake. The games will be for
blood. and every fan in Wheeling and
vicinity will want TO witness all Of
them. The crowds Will undoubtedly
break the record for attendance here.
The Pennsylvanians appear TO think the
Warren club is strong enough to win a
majority Of the games even when played
I'm Wheeling. That watch game gave
tnem a sWelled head, fact which they
be made to realize before the end OF next
week.
