boat have u contract with Roberts &
Sparks, owners OF the Eureka mine,
near Kingston. to tow 100000 tons Of
iron ore from Kingston to South Pitts
buFgh. The boat can make the round
trip in four days, and can tow 1000

freeze would have resulted IN n closed

THAT EUREKA "eusHER"
Looks 20 DO No Good at AiNow-The New
Tyler Field.

Tyler Field.
II looks now as though the well on the
Ruckman farm at Eureka is a hopeless
duster, says ~. s. W." the Standards
news man. Thursday afternoon 1t was
drilled on what was thought to be the
shell above the Berea grit, but when the
drill went through 1t, 1t dropped into a
slate formation and had not found
anything that resembled n sand forna-
ton up 10 tonight. One Of the owners,
who had been watching the well, came
up to Pittsburgh and said he had left It
in disgust and did not think II was any
good. The well has now been drilled
below the level ut which the Braden 6
Company well, on the Hammett farm,
got its oil, and from top to bottom
nothing that in any way looked like an
oil bearing sand has been encountered.
II IS claimed that the oil It got on Sun
day was found In the shell and not In n
stray sand which was found where the
Berea should have been. The well Is
located but 1900 feet from the Ham
nett farm gllsher and tho fact that Il Is
a buster makes the outlook for some
other ventures look anything but rosy
at this time.
There Is no longer any doubt as to
the value OF the Devonlan OIL Compa-

A LARGE ENrERfNG CLASS,

Indications of Great Increase In the
Numbers of the New Glass at Boardnan.
The friends of the Boardman Manual
Training school are greatly pleased
over the prospect of an unusually large
entering class next fall. While year
ago only thirty-two passed the en-
trance examinations of the school and
the entering class numbered about fiji
y -iylA, Lbs year seventytwo pupils
have aleardy passed in the require
ments for admission and there is every
reason to believe that those who pass
in September will swell the numbers
of the new class to over 100 The school
now has two principal courses, one es-
pecially adapted to preparing young
men for entrance to the Sheffield Scien-
tific school and the other a general
course, which will fit boys and girls,
who will receive no further education,
for life.
The machine shop of the school will
be started this fall for the first time,
and will be used by the third year
class, which takes that work After
this year only the fourth year boys will
take machine shop work.

vices Over the Millionaire's Body.
New York, July 10-Funeral services
were held this morning over the body
of the late George Law, the street rail
road millionaire, at his residence, 259
Fifth avenue. Only few of the most
present.
Owing, 1t was said, to the attempted
intrusion of an unknown woman, who
on Monday last tried to force her way
to Mr.. Laws sick room, especial pre-
cautions were taken to limit the num-
Der of mourners.
Admission to the house to-day was
by invitation card only. Two special
policemen stood in the hallway guard
ing the door, while on the steps out
side two of the municipal police stood
ready to enforce their directions.
To all persons, and there We're many
who applied for admission without the
necessary card the statement was
made: This is private house and a
private funeral, and you cannot get
in.''
If a woman was expected to make
any trouble she did not appear and
everything passed off quietly.
Seven private carriages followed the
hearse to Greenwood cemetery where
the body was inferred.

was Due to overcrowdinr.

Albany, July 10.-The state railroad
commission has made public its deci-
sion and findings regarding the, acct
dent occurring to an open car of the
Nassau Electric Railroad company Of
Brooklyn on the Thirty-ninth street
hill, on Junei7, when two persons were
killed and many injured
The commission says; while the
Immediate cause of this accident was
the trolley wheel leaving the wire, the
board is of the opinion that the primary
cause was the overcrowded condition Of
the car, whereby the conductor was
prevented from reaching the rear plat
form in order to replace the trolley
wheel or assist the motorman in apply
ing the brakes"
The commission recommends that
street railroad companies absolutely
prohibit passengers from riding on the
platform or side rails, and that more
care be taken in the matter of pro-
viding proper brakes.

went back to be paid off. He was seen
walking down the embankment, west

badly mutilated. and death must have
been instantaneous.
