WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24.-secre.
tary Herbert to-day decided that he would
direct the preliminary acceptance of the
torpedo-boat Ericsson, subject to another
dock trial, the sum Of $4,000 to be deduct
ed. however, from the contract price for
failure to complete the vessel within the
required time.
The Ericsson is now at New London.
Conn, and the trial will take place there
1t is not unlikely that owing to the unfor-
tunate accidents which caused the delay
in completion Congress will authorize the
remission OF the $4,000. The department
is now satisfied that the machinery of the
little vessel is now in perfect order, and
that she can make twenty-five knots an
hour, which is half knot more than re-
quired by contract The Ericsson was
built by the Iowa Iron Works, Dubuque,

Gold Cauae Becoming PopnIar.

There were two interviews printed in
the News recently which ought to set
people thinking. It was shown in one
of these interviews that the banks are
already beginning to call in their paper,
even paper which at other times they
would have been glad to renew. This
tendency on the part of lenders of
money will grow stronger as the situa-
lion grows more uncertain. Men who
lend money on gold basis will take no
chances of being repaid in cheap silver.
This is shown by the practice of the
building associations, as described in
the other interview. The secretary of
one of these associations said that there
had been hardly a building association
mortgage made in the past three years
which did not contain gold clause. We
quote his words:
81 do not believe it is generally known
that nearly every building and loan as
spciation in this city and in the state, I
suppose, has put in every mortgage it
has taken for the last three years a
clause to the effect that the loan shall
be paid in gold, if demanded by the as
sociation. The association of which
am secretary has out S47o, 900, and that
clause is in every mortgage. Indian

An OIL Driller Killed.

Warrington, June 27.-Frank Shirky,
aged thirty years, was accidently killed
near this place yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. He was at work for
the Hartman Oil company cleaning out
an oil well which had been shot, and
while working about the steel sand
line was caught and thrown against
a guide in such way as to cut his face
from his mouth to his right ear, and
also fractured his skull. He lived
about five minutes, but did not speak.
He was unmarried and lived near Chi
cora, Pa, to which place the remains
will be taken for interment tomorrow
morning.

A Chicago physician who has officiat-
ed in a reformatory for boys, makes
the assertion that the best possible diet
for the refractory youngster is diet
of prunes. He says something in the
juice of the prunes seemed to pene-
trate to the center of ebullience and
riot at once and the prune-fed youth
becomes at once docile and obedient.
The prunes act upon certain organs,
that are the seats and centers of the
passions, and cause certain disinte-
grafton or, perhaps, anaemia in these
organs, which, while, diminishing
their activity, decreases their output
of deviltry. Here is a pointer for fam
lilies who with difficulty keep out of
the divorce courts. Prunes are much
cheaper than lawyers and court costs
and more courting. after the divorce is
granted

whore the Germans Stand.

Out of 502 German newspapers to
which circulars were sent by the Ger
man-American Sound Money league a
short time ago, 351 are in favor of the
free coinage of silver. Over 100 of the
502 German papers have thus far failed
TO make any reply to the committees
circular.
The party that overlooks the German
vote need not worry itself about official
responsibility. The Germans constitute
but small percentage of our politi-
clans, but are an important class on
election day.

IN THE OIL FIELDS.

The Victor and South Penn Oil com
panies may have small producer at
their No. / on the Flescher farm at
Wick, Tyler county. The well is re-
ported showing some oil, and as the
drill is sent deeper there is a noticea BILE
improvement in the sand.
The Midway Gas Company has sold
its lease on so acres of the Chambers
farm in the Cecil pool to the Forest Oil
company. There are five producing
and three drilling wells on the lease.
The production is 800 barrels a day
and the consideration was $50, 900.
The Carter Oil com pany are making
out the necessary papers by which it
will surrender several thousand acres
of leases. Its manager says that they
fgule it out that it would be better
and cheaper to take up small blocks OF
land and test them with a well or two
at once rather than pay monthly rem
tails which aggregate up into thou
sands of dollars. This company for
the past two or three years has been
paying out money for rentals at the
rate of seven thousand dollars per
month. Such an outlay would drill
many test wells and either make the
company pile of money or it would
be lost and gone absolutely without
any hope whateYer, while if several
thousand dollars is paid out in rentals
the company don't feel like dropping
so much money without making test
and SO in the end the test we'll is drilled
anyway and the company think in the
future they will drill first and saye
the rentals
In the Mills tract Gordon sand terri
tory the Kanawha Oil company is on
top of the sand with test we'll on the
Loutz farm. This is an important
wildcat and will be watched with no
little interest when it starts through
the sand.
F. A. Sutton is drilling test we'll on
the William Bushey farm on the Ohio
side of the Sistersville field. The we'll
is due in the sand, and is located with
view to getting a western extension
to the Theile farm.
The Carter Oil company's we'll on the
Livingston farm in the vicinity of the
Hebron shallow sand development has
been drilled into the Big Injun and is
reported to be making in the neghbor-
hood of 125 barrels day. This we'll
was originally drilled to the Cow Run
sand and being dry there was drilled
deeper If the report that this well is
making the amount credited it is true
it opens up nice lot of Big Injun ter
ritory, the majority of which is held
by the Carter Oil company.-Review

Mclean is silver man from away
back, and he would get following
from the West. His dollars and his
newspaper won't get him the nomina-
tion, though, for he thinks too wrong
on the money question to suit the fell
lows of the East who really have the
money to spend in campaigning.

HARVEY, the man who as Coin
wrote the celebrated faulty fables on
the silver question, has mapped out a
plan for trying to knock down the
barricades of .the Republican party.
He would weave into one another, like
shit and miss" design of an old rag
carpet, the tenets of Democratic and
Populist parties, and would put tie
fabric in charge of Bland, Butler, Tel
Ter, Pingree and the unaccountab BILE

desperate, and that unless there can be
a grand combination as he indicates,
there is no use trying to go up against
Mckinley with view to winning the
big stakes.

Until Monday every game played by
the new Marietta team was poor eX-
| hibition, but the boys appear to have
settled down to business at last and if
they keep up the pace of the Chilli

be financial success.
Shiers, the new third baseman from
Springfield, arrived Monday evening
and will be in the game this afternoon.
He is expected to show up we'll.
If the weather is favorable this after
noon the management can count on a
big crowd. Marietta loves good ball,
but demands that it be good.

McKinley's Silver Vote.

Answering a question of a subscriber,
the Cleveland Plain Dealer asserts that
Major Mckinley voted on the 9Th of
November, 1877, for the original Bland
bill, which passed the House on that day
by a vote Of 164 to "a, the negative vote
being almost entirely from New York
and New England. That bill, for which
Mckinley voted, provided for the coin
age of the United States silver dollar
Of the weight of 412h grains troy
OF standard silver, as provided in the
act of Janu ary1S, 1887 and it was fur
Their provided that any m of silver
bullion may deposit the same at any
United States coming mint, or assay
office, to be coined into such dollars for
his benefit, uDon the same terms and
conditions as gold bullion is deposited
for coinage under existing laws Mr..
Mckinley never denied the record of
his vote for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver but publicly ac-
knowledged it on the stump in his de-
bate with Ex-Governor Campbell, Oct
ober 8, 1891, when he said: In 1877 l
voted to reinstate the ancient silver
dollar as part of the coinage Of the
