A Tool Dresser Seriously Hurt.

SIsTERsvILLE, w. VA, Nov. 12.-Yes-
terday afternoon Joseph Ballentine, a
tool dresser, who was at work on a
well at Ben's Run, about eight miles
south of this place, met with terrible
accident which will result in his losing
his left arm. He was engaged in as
sisting the driller to draw the tools from
the hole, when in some manner his left
arm was caught by the cable on the
bull wheel and before it could be
stopped the arm was terribly crushed
and broken by the tremendous pressure.
The injuries are SO great that the ply
sicians have no hope of saving the arm
and it will probably be amputated at
the elbow today.
Mr. Ballentine lives near Rellaire,
where he has wife and several child
rem. He is brother of w. E. Ballen-
tine, of Parkersburg, and Samuel Bal
lentine, of Marietta

IN A TEACUP.
tcorrnronr. 1851

lCofit Aoev.l
Harry Ellard had risen half an hour
earlier than usual this morning, to give
himself sufficient time to write letter
upon which his entire future happiness
depended-so he told himself; but the
half hour had elapsed before he had
been able to formulate his thoughts
satisfactorily. He was due at his office
in 20 minutes, during which time
it would be necessary for him to shave
and consume his breakfast. So, with
out further attempt at elaboration, he
dashed off what he had to say, sealed
the letter and wrote her Christian
name on the envelope, placing the
stamp on the wrong side. Why he had
not written the letter the previous even
ing, during which he employed several
hours in meditation concerning it, isia
conundrrrm that only man in love can
answer.
After ornamenting his face generous
ly with ugly little razor scars, he hur-
riedly completed his toilet and rang
vigorously for the bell boy.
"IIere, Alexander, take this letter and
mail it for me-" He handed him but

the lady, doubtless, for whom the let
ter was intended. and instead of re-
turning it to the writer. he delivered it
at the above address.
Agnes Moran read 1t with a CLEAN Of

severe struggle landing that fish,

sentimentalisms. But we will humor

pain, that man offers you beautiful

ciate it."

INTERESTING OIL LITIGATION.
Fine Point Growing out of Cairo Develop
ment.

Fine Point Growing out of Cairo Develop
ment.
An interesting piece of oil litigation
growing out of the Cairo oil develop
ment, was instituted in the circuit
court of Ritchie county yesterday by
Amos Steelsmith, of Butler, Pa,
through V. b. Archer, Esq, of this
city, his attorney, against James Cart
Ian, of Pittsburg.
1t seems that on the 11th day of Feb
ruary, 1895, Mrs. McGregor leased her
farm consisting of ,122 acres to James
Gartlan for the term of five years, con-
ditioned that test we'll was to be put
down within sixty days, or in defaulta
monthly rental of fifty dollars was to
be paid. One of the conditions of the
lease was that all wells should be pro-
vided with the best known means of
producing the greatest quantity of oil.
And failure to comply with any of
the conditions of the lease rendered
the same null and void.
1t is charged by the plaintiff that al
though Gartlan entered upon said tract
of land and put down we'll through
the Big Injun sand which made show
ing for oil, yet he never tested the sand,
and afterwards sold the rig and casing
which were removed from the lease
and in April last wholly abandoned
the lease, and in October Mr.. Steel
smith obtained lease of the tract
from Mrs. McGregor and has entered
upon the land and is engaged in put
ting down a well.-Journal.

Agnes, breaking in upon her calm, and
throwing her luxurious figure into
dimity-covered chair. "the strangest
thing has asjhappened and have come
to spend the whole afternoon and
evening to tell youabout it." She hand
ed Angie the letter, watching her mar
rowly. Angles hand trembled slightly
as she saw the writing, then she read
it aloud with perfect composure.

Angie, mastering the feeling of re-

ed reception of her suitor had inspired
her, entered into her plans with an as.
sumed seriousness that awakened in
Agnes an unpleasant suspicion that she
was amusing herself at her expense.

sPREEs AT A CHURCH FESTIVAL

Contracted for by Subscription In the
Rhinelnnd Village OF Oberringeihcim.
1t is custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
of new church. This custom has
been regarded as unlovely and un-
Christian by many influential Germans
of the new school, most notably by En-
peror William H., but still it remains
unreformed, and the comic weeklies do
not tire of depicting the scenes, in and
out of the police court, that follow the
conservation sprees and fights. Some
three weeks ago the festival of a new
church was celebrated in Oberringel-
helm, in the Rhine country. In antici-
patton of the usual trade in eXhilarat-
ing liquors saloonkeeper who does
business near the sacred edifice adver-
tised thus in the Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges him
self for a subscription price of three
marks (75 cents) to serve every one
of his guests with as much wine as he
can drink on the occasion of the church
conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to
visit me in response to this request,
remain, respectfully yours,
Jacob Muller"
Within an hour after the newspapers
containing this advertisement ap-
peared. 80 citizens of little Oberringel-
helm bought subscription tickets from
Muller. At the current price of or
binary loose wine in the Rhine country,
each of the 80 and their colleagues in
this speculation had to drink 16 large
glassfuls before he could begin to bene-
fit by the subscription tariff. The
final results of the speculation cannot
be known until the police court reports
of the Oberringelheim district arrive
with the newspapers from the con-
tinent.

1t is not long since the emperor of
Austria definitely settled the success
sion to the throne on his nephew, Arch
duke Otto, passing over the latter's eld-
er brother, Francis Ferdinand, becausa
he was on the point of death from con-
sumption. Francis is apparently re-
covering his health, however, and it
is limited that he was not suffering SO
much from consumption as from blight
cd affection. He has long wished to
marry Archduchess Stephanie, the wild
ow of Crown Prince Rudolph. whose
tragic death at Meyerling few years
ngo will be recalled, and he was con-
additionally dcbarred from doing so
while he remained in the direct line of
succession TO the throne.

reception soon put him at ease, and
presently when she kindled the tiny
alcohol flame beneath the brass tea
pot, saying: II am going to brew you
cup of tea, and If you don't mind the
grounds I will tell your fortune" he
had quite recovered his self-possession.
II shall be glad to have you do So" he
replied, "for l am very desirous of
knowing my fate" Angie glanced
towards the portieres, which trcmbled
noticeably. His eyes followed hers, and
he said: "There seems to be q draft,
Isthe window open? Do you feel chilly ?
I will close it," And he arose with
alacrity to cross the room.
"Oh--nol mol" said Angie, precipi-
lately, "you must not--that is, mean
1 am not chilly" Then she began to
talk rapidly to conceal her confusion.
while he sat down, looking at her Gu
riously.
After he had disposed Of his tea she
ordered him to reverse the cup on the
saucer and turn it three times; this
he did, wondering what motive had
prompted her to select this peculiar
method of entertainment. AS he
handed her the cup she said, impressive
ly: II see young man; he has writ
ten letter" Here her auditor colored,
evading her glance. "He has written it
in great haste" she continued, "and
very cnrelessly, which he should not
have done, considering the Importance
of its substance" At this point they
were interrupted by cough from the
portiers. Harry Ellard looked at her
steadily. "Angie, is there some one be-
hind those curtains?"
"Don't interrupt" was the reply.
"Listen to what I have to say. The
young man neglected to address the let

The portiers were thrown apart and
Agnes stepped out, just in time to see
him knock the teacup from Angles
hand as he made wild dash towards
her.
"Angie--you hoax!" he cried, cover
ing her in his big arms and holding
the face of the struggling girl where
he could kiss her lips over and over
again, "why didn't you tell me at once
that you had received the letter."
Because - because" = turning her
head with difficulty and glancing at
Agnes, 81 did not receive the letter at
all; it went to Agnes"
"But you know it was for you"
81 suspected--but you had the e. in

Agnes passed out of the room, slam
ming the door.
