A SCHEME
BY Which Republicans and Popullsts Hope
to Capture Texas.

BY Which Republicans and PopulIsts Hope
to Capture Texas.
Austin, Texas, March 29.-There is a
movement on foot between the Popu-
lists and Republicans by which they
hope to capture the State from Demo-
cratic rule this year. The proposition
comes from Republicans, according to
a certain well known Populist leader,
who made the proposed fusion known
to the Associated Press to-day. The
proposition is that the Populists place
Republican Presidential electors on
their ticket this year, and in return the
Republicans will put the Populst can
didates for State officers on their tick
ct. By thus consolidating their vote
the two parties expect to defeat the
Democratic party The returns Of the
last election shows that such move,
if faithfully carried out, would out-vote
the Democrats. The Populists are
eager for the combination. for the rea-
son that they have no hope outside the
State for victory. and # they can get
control of the State government that
is all they want. Many of the Repub-
licans are also in favor of the combi-
nation, and there is some probability Of
its being cOnsummated.

WHEELING W VA MONDAY MORNING. MARCH 80, 1896

Manus family that the fire originated
so far as the police and the firemen
are able 20 determine.
Nicholas McManus. one of the sons,
who slept in one of the back rooms Of
the suit, was awakened by the smell OF
smoke. He turned in an alarm and
wakened the tenants. 1t was apparent
that the lives of many were in danger,
for the smoke had permeated every part
of the house and the flames were burn
ing briskly An of the McManuses were
able 10 make their way down the stairs
TO the street before exit in that direction
was cut off by the flames. Nicholas Nc
ManUs succeeded in helping several OF
the people ont by leading them down
the stairs through the binding smoke
i'm the hallway.
It was among the tenants on the
top floor that the chief danger lay.
Some of them ran 10 the roof and es-
capped in that direction, but others
sought to get down by the stairway.
Miss Margaret Ryan and Miss Kate
Higgins. one of the household, on being
awakened. ran TO the front windows on
the third floor where they lived. The
firemen had already arrived and lad
ders had been placed on the front side
of the house to help take out the ten
ants whose lives were in danger. On
one of these ladders was Foreman
Walsh. AS he was ascending, a burst
of flame and smoke shot out of one OF
the windows and he was seen reeling
20 the street. As Walsh fell, Miss Ryan
leaped from the window to the side
walk. and Miss Higgins, apparently
partly overcome by the smoke in the
rooms above fell TO the ground at al
most the same time. An ambulance
was sent for but Miss Ryan was uncOn-
scious when placed i'm the conveyance
and died before the hospital was reach
ed Walsh was taken TO the hospital
at the same time. He is badly but prob
ably not dangerously hurt
After the flames had been extinguish-
ed a search of the building was made
and the bodies of Thomas Malloy, Arch
ibald Grogan and Mary Mcmahon were
found All of the persons found dead
had been suffocated before they were
able to escape.
How the fire originated cannot be de-
termined until a thorough investigation
is made The property loss will not
exceed $4,000.

OIL NEWS.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March 29.-The
people Of VAUDEVILLE, this county, are
much elated over the prospects Of hav-
ing several test wells put down at that
place. Two representatives Of two
substantial oil companies have been at
that place, which is directly south Of
this city. in the past week, and have
leased quite extensively.
The contractors are still fishing for
the lost tools in the Lehman well, and
on account of the depth Of the well 1t
is very difficult to recover the lost
tools.
A large company of Ohio River rail
road employees have their we'll at Muir
rayville down to the Cow Run sand,
and when the well is drilled in it is ex-
pected TO be a good producer, as It Is
in close proximity to the producing
wells at that place. The company own
ing the well is quite large, and the
shares were $25 each but no one mem
Der was allowed more than four shares.
In the Bull Creek field, tie Peyton
Triplett well and the well on Mrs. Raw
sons farm were cased yesterday and
were drilled in to-day. The Triplett
well is reported as a good well, but no
news has as yet been received here in
regard TO the RawsOn well. which Is
thought. however. to be a good well, as
the indications we're splendid.
The roads in the Waverly field are in
such a condition that operations have
been much retarded. Teamsters who
started to the field yesterday with ma
terial were compelled to leave their
loaded wagons in the road, as they were
submerged. and in some instances al
most buried in the mud.
The Barclay well, which was the
cause Of much attention being given to
it on account of its actions in the past
week, is still making periodical flows,
and is estimated at about so barrel
we'll Oil men are positive that the
well will make No. l producer, and
parties holding leases in that part of the
oil field are much elated over the pros
poets Of a new field and extensive oper-
ations being brought about in the near
future in consequence. The well is
owned by Wheeling people, who are
now on the ground investigating the
actions of the well, which was COM
Riete surprise to the owners.

THE MATABELE WAR.
Thirty-eight Whites Rescued-The Mata-
beles Defeated

DeieS Defeated.
Buluwayo, Matabele, March 29.-Cap-
tain Clifford. leading a rescue force, left
here on Thursday and succeeded in res
cuing thirty-eight Wilkes, who had gone
into Lager at InseZa. This was not
effected until after repelling an attack
by a force Of well armed Matabeles and
infiicting upon them heavy loss. The
loss suffered by Gifford's force in the
enga cement was one killed and six in
jured.
Captain Speckley, who repelled a
strong force of Matabeles on Thursday,
inflicting a heavy loss upon them, has
returned to Buluwayo, bringing with
him a large number of prisoners. He
brings disastrous intelligence that all
the whites in the flibust district
have have been massacred by the ma
tives, including Messrs. Bentley, Ed
kins. Baragwanath and Carpenter. The
cOrpses of all of those killed were hOrri-
bly, mutilated and their faces were
burned almost beyond recognition.
The native police, who are known 70
have melted the uprising, have been
disarmed and several Matabele spies
have been arrested.
A family of eight persons have been
brutally murdered and two prospectors
are missing in the country near here.
The enemy is reported to be massing
only thirty miles distant from here and
the keenest anxiety is felt at the out
look and an attack upon the town is
now hourly expected.
Hoa. Cecil Rhodes, who was expected
to arrive here by this time, has not yet
reported. No anxiety is experienced
for his safety, though his position, trav-
cling in the country is certain to become
an unpleasant one.

complete.

Hinton, w. Va, March pa hor'
rible accident occurred at Echo, min
ing town forty miles west of this place,
this morning, in which three people
were killed Outright, and two more ia
tally injured.
The spring rains for the past three
or four days have loosened the rocks
so that slides are not uncommon, and
in this case a huge mass of stone broke
loose and came tearing down the noun
tain side creashing through the resi-
dence Of miner, named Tillman, in
stantly killing John and Frank Tillman
and Lucy Law and fatally injuring two
others of the inmates.
The accident occurred before daylight
and all the family were sleeping and
of course had no warning OF the COM
ing danger. The house was situated on
the banks Of the New River, and at the
base of the mountain.
The mass of stone had to pass over
row of coke ovens and the tracks of
the C. & o. before striking the house.
The coke ovens were badly demolished
and the rails torn up.
By rare presence of mind, another,
and what might have been a more Sc
rious accident, was narrowly averted
at the same time and place. An east
bound train was just due. One of the
Laws, who escaped uninjured, left the
dead bodies and rushed out and tagged
the train in time to save it from danger
into which it was plunging at the rate
of forty miles per hour.
