: GAS AND OIL GUsHERs.
Capitalists Will Develop Property in
West Virginia.

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. 10 Twelve
years ago three Pennsylvania prospectors
passed through Johnson county, Ky, into
Mingo, then into Logan county, w. Va.
There they stumbled npou the burning
spring known all over Kentucky and
West Virginia as the "Bewitched Water !"
Famil ar with all surface indications of
gas and oil, they immediately leased vast
tiacts of land and began boring. Their
work has never been completed. but to-
day the oil that runs from the old pipes
sunk twelve years ago is in use all over
the adjoining counties as n lubricator as
we'll rs au illuminator.
New York capitalists have bought out
the Pennsylvania operators, and it. is an
nounced that before 1898 the Wariield oil
will be in competition with the product
of the Standard Oil Company, and. unless
plans now arranged miscarry all the
towns along the Ohio will be lighted by
natural gas piped down the Big Sandy.

Cooke for lieuutenant- governor, and as
to the future action of the Populists.
They gave out the following interesting
interview. which is conourred in by other
prominent members of the party:
"The action of the convention up to
this hour @ p n.y. shows it to he under
the control of ring pol,ticians-men with
free silver lips hut goldbug hears S. The
reelection of Ellyson as State chairman
means that there is no hope of fair cleo
ton law unless the whole machine is
o'erthrown at the polls. The nomination
of Edward Echols as the representative
of the gold element of the parry indicates
that free silver will be abandoned mt any
moment that party policy may dicta'e.
"Our committee on confer ence on State
ticket will meet at an early date aud
shape up our line of battle. We are not
authorized to say what it's action will be,
but you may be cure that it will he war
to the knife and knife TO the bilt with
the people who have committed the crime
of turning down a free silver Bryanire for
n goldbug railroad politician.
"It seems that this convention, drunk
with the sense of political power in the
State, and ohlivious to the wishes of some
of it's bravest and truest members, has
invited discussions everywhere among
the free silver forces, and struck IL deadly
blow ut cooperation in 1907

VERDICT
SET ASIDE.
New Trial Granted Ma
tiOnal Rubber Co.
BURKE GIVEN A VERDICT.
Court Holds the Accident Was Due
to Fellow Servants.
PLAINTIFFS HAND MANGLED

The Appellate Court has granted tho
case OF John +. Burke VS.. the National
India Rubber Company. The Language
of the rescript tled in the case is as
follows:
"Ihe testimony shows that, in obedi-
encs to the order Of the defendant's fore
man Finch, communicated TO them
through Walsh, who tended the calender
machine, the two boys Mahar and Farley.
proceeded to clean out the pit tefors that
time occupied by the gearing of calen-
der machine which had been removed
from THAT location. In doing this, Aahar
ana Farley tDrew the grease, dirt, scraps
OF gum, anu other material which had
accumulated IN the PIT, onto the brick
moor IN front of the rolling mill by which
the plaintiff was injured; that they su bse
quently removed this from the floor ex-
cept some OF the grease. which adhered TO
the brick. and rendered it slippery; that
this work was done between 3 o clock and
o'clock III the atternoon that the acci-
dent to the plaintiff happened OH the same
afternoon shortly before O'Clock, and
was ocoasioned as the jury found by the
plaintiff's slipping on the greasy floor and
railing against the rolls OF the mill.
I'VE think that the leaving of the grease
on the floor by Mahar and Farley must be
regarded as the carslessness OF fellow sor-
wants of the plaintiff. and consequently
that the common pleas division erred in
refusing the defendants fifth request for
instruction. The short interval of time
between the leaving OF the grease on the
floor and the accident to the plaintiff was
insufficient 10 charge the defendant with
notice OF the condition of the floor, and
thereby render IL liable for n breach of its
duty To the plaintiff To furnish him safe
premises on which to work.
Burke got n verdict from Jury for
$1,000. His left hand was badly mangled.

fendant corporation, and a motion for a
