A DARING FEAT.
A Nan in Canoe-Shaped Boat Defied
Niagara's Power.


Niagara's Power.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. y. May AZ. C.
Heine. Prussian. so years old. made one
OF the most perilous trips yesterday af-
ternoon that has ever been accomplished
on the Niagara river. In a canoe-shapee
boat. 10 feet in length. he sailed from the
milling district through the Hydraulic
canal out into the rapids, and over within
800 feet of Goat Island, and then returned
without mishap. The river was full of
ice. and everybody thought Heine and his
boat would get wedged in II and be carried
over the falls. Thirty feet from The dock
he put down his paddle and took up
10-foot pole with a steel tip on II, and
pushed the boat out along he reef TO
within stones throw of Goat Island.
Here The boat seemed to be wedged on a
rock. and "a t. swung round and round
with the current. the 1000 spectators ex-
pected 20 see it overturned and Heine sent
over he falls.
After resting about 10 minutes he start
ed upon the return trip. This was slower
work and q painful suspense hung over
TIE crowd that watched him. He took a
course that seemed 10 be free of ice. and
whore Jnc water did not run very swiftly

In the death of Mr.. Warren Fisher
a Boston Spectator, the other day
there passed away the author OF the So
called Mulligan letters which ne wrote
n Mr. Blaine in 1892, and which
were delivered to a Committee of the
House in 1876 by Mr.. James Mulligan'
his bookkeeper. The letters figured in
three successive Presidential cam
paigns. and doubtless contributed as
much as any other single cause to blast
Mr.. Blaine's political aspirations.

A MOUNTAIN BATTLE.
Maceo Led His Troops Against Gen. Ynclan.
4 Murderer Lynched.

HAVANA, May All Havana is anX-
iously discussing the battle in the noun
tains of Pinar del Rio. 1t is believed that
the insurgents, who persistently attacked
Gen. Ynclans troops far back from Ca
carajicara TO the sea, were led by Maceo
in person. The stronghold stormed by
Yncan's forces was not, properly speak
ing, a fort. There is an old ranch on the
top Of the stony hill at Cacarajicara
whose sides form a precipitous descent to
the road which winds through bold rocks
and are not wide enough for a column 20
spread out at advantage. There is little
timber or brush around.
The insurgents fortified the road in two
places with barricades. one above the
other. with the intention OF preventing the
Spanish troops from reaching the hills.
where the main rebel camp is located. The
officials say the insurgents fought desper
ately. and say the results given prove that
they had every advantage Of the situation.
They poured down shot from above upon
the troops. who were practically shut in
the ravire.
Il is supposed that the rebels sent from
the point of attack to notify Antonio Ma
Geo, who hurried forward TO attack Ynclan.
The official report says that he was repeat
eddy repulsed.

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, May 4.-Gailey &
Co.'S No. 4 on the Calebaugh farm, on
the opposite side Of the river, is making
a good show for a producer, and is eX-
pected in to-day.
Operations have been suspended at
Griffin No. 9. out at Wick. on account Of
the boiler giving trouble.
The North Penn Oil and Gas Com
pany received a boiler to-day which
they will place on their tract at Glen
dale.
G. r. Bunnell and S. w. Lawrence
were in st. Mary's to-day looking after
their production. Lawrence & Work s
we'll is about the same as last reported.
Mr.. Bunnell says his well is on the in
crease and is now flowing 80 barrels a
day.
The Victor Oil Company's we'll No. .,
on the Julia Groves farm, on Indian
creek. which was reported as good for
IS barrels. has increased and is now
flowing 20 barrels day. This increase
has stimulated developments in that
territory wonderfully.
is spraying some oil, but cannot tell yet
what it will do.
Nos. and s, belonging to the Devon
ian Oil Company, are now on top of the
sand and will be drilled in tonight or
tomorrow.
Shay e McMullen also have a well on
the Dan Weekley farm which is expect
ed in at any time.
The Carter Oil Company's we'll on the
Booher farm, out on Sancho. has made
about 90 feet since last reported. Their
Freeland we'll will make a % barrel
pumper
Kyle No. 3 is expected in in to-day or
tonight. This well proved big gasser
but the flow has decreased and they will
drill it in at once. 1t belongs to the
Devonian Oil Company.
Another good producer is the result Of
the drilling of the Josnston, Dorsey &
Armstrong well, in the Rogerson field.
Sunday night. With one bit in the
sand the well commenced flowing, and
work had to be stopped until the neces-
sary tankage can be erected, when the
drill will be sent still deeper. During
all day yesterday the we'll continued 10
flow on an average once an hour, and is
thought by all experienced oil men to
be far better than the first well drilled
in. The we'll is located about 400 feet
northeast of No. |, on the Otto farm,
which indicates that the pool lies in a
northeast and southwest direction.
During yesterday the we'll was visited
by large number of people, including
a great many experienced oil men, who
were attracted to the scene of operations
by the first report sent out. There is
not the least doubt now but that the
field will be developed into good terri
tory. AS soon as the necessary tank
age can be erected the drill will be
sent still deeper into the rock. There
is strong flow Of gas in this well.
which was not so noticeable in the first
well. so much so as TO cause it to flow
at intervals Nearly all the territory
in the neighborhood has already been
leased.

The theosophists of New York authorize
the statement that an examination Of the
private papers of their late president, VIII
liam O. Judge, has resulted in a very i'm
portant discovery Although most the
osophists believe in Mahatmas 1t has al
ways been supposed that only two persons
i'm the Western world had reached this
high estate, namely, Nine Blavatsky and
William Q. Judge. When the former died
her mantle naturally fell ON her pupil. Mr..
Judge, but when he died, some ten days
ago. members of the society felt they were
without a head. at least an exalted head.
The important discovery referred to Is that
there Is another Mahatma, though who or
where he is is still secret. His name and
identity were disclosed In Mr.. Judges pa
pers, as also the, fact that he was past
master in theosophic lore, but those to
whom the secret was committed were
charged not to reveal it till a certain period
had elapsed. Whether the new Mahatma
lives in Thibet or America Is to be kept a
profound secret for the present. He may
live in New York or in the Hirnalayas. 1t
is enough that he exists and that his ex-
istence and leadership are already being
acknowledged by theosophists all over the
country. The Journal does not profess to
know much about theosophy, but IL the
new Mahatma can do anything towards
insuring good crops or better times 1t hopes
he will do so.

1t is announced that an English An
archist named III. John Turner has
evaded the immigration officers at New
York under the guise of steerage pas
senger and is about to make a'tour of the
country to preach anarchy. Turner has
discovered that there is a revival of an
archism in the United States, and he has
come to give it direction by speaking
and circulating the only Anarchist liter
allure in the English language. He
further declares that he will take up the
subject where 1t was dropped at the
Haymarket in Chicago in 1886. Turner
could be sent back, and if he undertakes
to preach the heresies which caused the
Haymarket slaughter lie should be ar
rested and sent back to Europe. To
silence such men is no more an infringe
ment upon the freedom of speech than it
would be to arrest a man who has put
a torch into the hands of his dupe and
told him to apply it to a warehouse.
Anarchism is the doctrine Of assassina-
ton, and the man who proclaims it
should be silenced.

robins as IL they had mistaken the date

March. and its wild gales blew over and
held carnival in Aprils first days. But
the suns rays have become more in

tant winter is being pushed steadily
back. The skies at the hour Of writing
are blue and warm; the air, even on
paved streets and among brick walls,
carries the subtle inspiration of spring
to the dullest senses. Easter bids fair
to be day when the least devout can
appreciate and understand, in a meas

new life speaks through every bud,
through every springing blade of grass,
