Galveston Texas, Sept. 25.-The
fever situation In New Orleans has not
improved in the past "a hours. The
record for that period is ten new cases
and four deaths. The cool weather
has not done much other than inctoase
the death rate, The percentage up TO
date as compared with the total nim-
Der Of deaths beiugR tiae over IS per
cent. This is not excessive compared
with other outbreaks, but in view Of
the midness Of the fever IL would seem
70 indicate that the fever lie not 30 mild
after all.
The Mobile record for yesterday
friday is three new cases and three
deaths.
The record at Edwards, Miss, is
thirty new cases aud that at at Biloxi
0fieen new cases with ne deaths.
Freights are now being shipped out
after disinfeetion by the United states
officials. The quarantine panics Of the
country generally are condemned be-
cause OF the fact that there is no possi-
bility Of injection by the transmission
Of certain classes Of freight, and the
United States officials are earnestly
striving TO lessen the hArdships Of the
quarantine by disintecting ireights

A Cheerful Outlook.

AS the year draws to close it
becomes more evident that the
improvement in business with
which it has been marked is to
continue, and to be even more
pronounced during 1898. The
information in regard to the iron
and steel trade is that at the pres
ent time the activity is something
phenomenal. Not since Decem-
Der, 1892, has there been any
thing like the business now be-
ing done. All records are being
surpassed. The promise is also
that prices will show correspond
ing improvement. There is good
reason to believe that the de-
mapd for iron and steel will con-
tinue for some time to come.
Railroads which during the de-
pressed times we're compelled to
be as economical as possible are
now likely to reconstruct their
roadbeds on a large scale. while
new lines will be commenced
with the opening of spring.
The building trade of the coun-
try gives promise of being very
large during the coming year.
The last few months have wit
messed a substan tial Improvement
in this line, but a much greater
one is sure to come. All this
means great demand for iron
and steel and a boom of no small
in these industries.
This will necessarily carry with
it increased activity in the coal
and coke trade and in every other
branch of industry. The one
hing to be guarded against is
Undue speculation. If this can
oe avoided there ought to be a
ong era Of prosperity before the
American people.

Braxton OIL Fields

Oil excitement in Evansville al
present is at fever heat, and
from all reports and indications.
it only remains for the drillers
to punch the hole little deeper
to realize the hopes of the people
of that town and the whole coun-
ty. AS we stated last week,
work has been suspended at the
Hefner we'll for some time. This
week operations were again re-
sumed. The water was bailed
out, and when an attempt to re-
move a plug-which had been
driven at the depth of 500 feet
was made the plug blew out,
sending the boiler through the
top of the derrick and was fol-
lowed by gush of water, sand
and gravel, which lasted for
about five minutes, and went
clear over the top of the derrick.
1t is now an undeniable fact that
the operators expect to strike
oil, and We hope to be able in our
next issue to report a "gusher''

Oil Fields.
Its Origin. Location. Prospects
and Possibilities.
From Warrington Advocate.I

From Warrington Adyocate.l
The news of the oil strike in
Harrison county which your re.
, porter gave last week was no
doubt surprise to many of the
Aduocate readers, since Harrison
has been long conzidered too far
southeast. During the Joetown
excitement some years ago. quite
a number of wells were drilled
along the northern boundary,
and as they all proved either dry
holes or gassers the territory
was given up as dry. However.
the South Penn drilled a we'll
about this time on Judge Nathan
COTS farm on Halls Run, in Ten
Mile district, which was farther
south at that time than any well
in the county. The well produc-
ed some oil but was abandoned
by the company as Improbable.
Golf instigated suit for produc-
ton which resulted in COM
promise. Since then the com
pany proceeded to operate on the
q. Payne farm, 2 miles directly
south OF Golf No. 1. Your re.
porter visited this field since
your last issue and is prepared to
give a more accurate account.
The Payne farm is situated
about - miles southwest OF
Clarksburg. 6 miles south of the
Petersburg branch of the B. &
o. and almost directlys miles
south OF Cherry Camp. 1t is on
a branch of Coburn's Fork OF
Ten Mile creek in Ten Mile dis
trict. near the Union district
northern line and about ! miles
from Jarvisville, in Union dis
trict, Harrison county.
The Payne farm has three
wells, No. j, 5 barrels, No. 2,
gasser and No. 3. good produc-
err estimated at various figures.
While your reporter was pres
ent they run a 6 it. 3 inch tank
of oil from No. 3 TO No. 1, where
they located two stock tanks
from which they pumped into the
pipe lines. The exact amount
No. 8, is doing is hard to ascer
tain. Mr.. Payne says she is good
for so barrels, but the nearest
your reporter could learn they
run pump with a capacity of
throwing As barrels an hour
about every ether day, which, if
run only 6 hours day would
equal 1875 barrels per day.
This territory is entirely un-
developed and outside of two
gassers owned by the Mountain
State Gas Co., and the Golf and
Payne development by the South
Penn it is untouched. Popular
opinion is that little will be done
in this section before spring. But
who knows what will be unearth
ed before another year ? And
who can say that Harrison may
not yet be rival to the Elk
Fork pool.

Winter has reached this place, aud a light fall of the "beautiful" lies on the hillsides. Death visited the camp and called away one of the miners, Alec Finlsyson. His body was buried in w. H. cemetery on Sunday, after funeral services conducted by Rev. J. NJ. Baxter had been held in the Chapel. The Sun. day school here ls we'll attended, at least the adults turn out we'll to the service. The Superintendent urged the members to use their best efforts to get all the children Tn the camp to attend ii possible.
 After the regular Sunday school sery. ics there was 8 meeting of all interested in the school to elect the officers for the ensuing year. The following is the list of those elected; Superintendent.

The cold, hard winter before us will be rendered more endurable than usual by e determination to which the ladies of the Cabinet have come with unanimity and marble hearts. It is announced that, hereafter, the Cabinet receptions will be open only to those who have re- ceived and can produce cards of admis- sion. The cruelty of this restriction is much modified by the further regulation that there is not to be anything what ever to eat or drink. This action on the part of the ladies will be very severe up. on large but nsmeless mob, who have secured both lunch and apparent social recognition by attending the receptions without invitation, and hogsing the re- treatments.

Senator Walcott made few pointed remarks to the guests .. the banquet on Forefathers Day, in New York City. on the Americanism, patriotism and iutelli gence of the western people in general. While not mentioning the subject of the free coinage oi silver he alluded to the fact that because the western people diff. tered with the bankers and millionsires of the east on the financial policy of the east it could not justly be termed craze but the result of intelligent reasoning by . people of higher order of intellectual sttsInments than had been reached in the eastern or middle states.
