WHAT THE FLOWERS MEAN.

The scarlet fuchsia is symbolic oil
good taste. There ia nothing prettier
than bed of these flowers, the bril-
liancy of their hue being admirably set
off by the green of their foliage.
The American elm has been sug-
gested as an emblem of patriotism.
Several historic elm trees are men.
toned in our revolutionary annals, and
from one of these the idea probably
originated.
The cedar is an emblem of immor.
tality, the symbol being suggested by
its evergreen foliage. 1t is said to have
been so regarded by the Jews thousand
years before the Christian era.
The white carnation is regarded in
England as an emblem of disdain. This
idea was probably suggested by the up
right habit of the flower, which mods
and waves haughtily in the breeze.
The daffodil is q symbol of chivalry.
1t was once favorite flower in France,
and at one time fashion prevailed OF
gentlemen wearing punches of daffodils
in their hats with their plumes.

The New Strike.

There is considerable interest being
taken in the new oil strike in Washing
ton county, Ohio, between Raven Rock
the river. The we'll is located about a
mile and half out from the river.
The gravity of the oil in the new gush-
er was tested yesterday and is found to
be 81 and S-1Oths, nearly as light us
the oil in this field. A peculiar thing
about the field is that one of the other
wells drilled in some time ago near
this gusher and which is now making
8 barrels of oil day, produces oil that
is so light it could not be tested with
an ordinary apparatus used for testing
oil, and it is said to be lighter even
than the Moundsville oil, which is 63
gravity.
The we'll started to flowing 20 barrels
an hour and Yesterday evening it was
making 10 barrels an hour and seemed
to be settled down to that gait 1t has
only been drilled into the sand be-
tween two and three feet and may
show up very much better after being
drilled deeper, and then again it may
not show up any better and not pro-
duce as much oil as it is now making,
An old experienced oil producer was
down to see the we'll yesterday and
said to a Reviewreporter this morning
that in his judgement the well was act
ing more like the Wick gushers do
than anything else he could liken it to.
This we'll may be the tapping of a
small pool of oil or it may be the open
ing up of long extention south of the
Sistersville pool, but all of this is at
present guess work, and nothing will
definitely settle the question as to
what the pool really is but the drill.
All the land around the field has been
leased up and several new wells will
be started at once. -TOil Review.

THE LEADER LANDED.
The Fort Sidney Gang Of Forty
Thieves" About Cone.

Parkersburg. May 25,--After three
years chase by Government officers
John Broy, who is accused with being
the chief Of the notorious gang, famil-
iarly known in the Ohio valley as the
Fort Sidney gang of Forty Thieves" !"
has been captured. A telegram to
Detective j. r. Mehen, ex-United States
Deputy Marshal, states that he is in
custody at Evansville, Ind.
Broy is badly wanted by the United
States Court in Ohio and West Virginia.
He is accused of being the chief of the
worst gang of postoffice thieves. burg
lars and highway robbers in this Sec
ton since the time of the notorious
Murrel. Several years ago special
officers were sent out to break up the
gang, which had robbed posto tfices,
stores and individuals indiscriminate-
ly from Marshall county to the Big
Sandy along the Ohio
The robbery of the st. Marys post
office was the first one to offer serious
clew to the gang, which in three
months had robbed postoffices and
stores at butcher, Cockransyille and
half dozen places in Ohio AT Friend
ly three stores were entered in one
uight, and at St Marys, Ravenswood,
Ripley and other places many mer-
chants suffered.
Captain Mehen and Sheriff Reynolds,
together with several United States
officers, got onto the track OF the
thieves and succeeded in clinching the
crime to the Fit. Sidney gang.
The name was received from the To-
cation of their headquarters about s
miles from st. Marys. A part of the
gang was chased down the river and
captured in a shantyboat, which was
filed with stolen property, including
drygoods, stamps, jewelry and other
stuff. The boat, goods and men were
brought back.
From clews secured on the boat
three men named Bailey and three
others were run down before the gang
got word and scattered. Eleven were
sent to the penitentiary. The search
was continued and others were gath
cred in, but the leader, John Broy,
could not be located
Broy was desperate and as elusive as
an eel. Half dozen times, when the
officers were sure of him he had slipped
through their fingers. He will be
brought back to answer the charges
against him.

What Will it Count?

Misfortune from the cradle has cast her pail
Ger the pathway OF many an honest nau
And the world rejoices to see him fall
Rather than lend him a helping hand
He may be honest kind hearted and pure.
AS 1T lies in ones power to be,
The world will discard him If he chance to be
poor:
Tis a matter of money, you see.
Tis a matter of mansions and terrace and
lawns,
And the cut of the clothes that he wears,
And the banquets he gives and the style he
puts on,
1t is not by the name that he bears.
No pockets are made in the long white shroud,
No sense of touch in pulseless hand.
Oh how can you take ii beyond the clouds
The wealth you store in the pr esent land
Then what viii your mansions and millions be
worth
Thou hast ground God poor these years to
hoard:
You will take at death what you brought at
birth;
And that will be nothing, thank the Lord
