IN THE OIL FIELDS.

The new well on the Gorrell farm,
north OF the Elk Fork pool, is creating
quite as much OF a seDsatlon as the Hill
well when drilled in to the southwest
OF developments, The Gorrell well Is
important. for the reason that it opens
up an extension or new pool in q direc-
tlon from the older development that
was not thought capable of furnishing
a producer that would put one hundred
and fifty barrels dag to its credit.
When the Fisher Oil company's test on
the /. Hawkins farm came in duster'
located $500 feet southwest Of the Cor
rsll, 1t was thought there was little use
TO look farther 10 the Northeast for pro-
duction. The Pavoa and Eastern on
companies considered il a good gamble
after they had got a good producer o.
the Marion Glenn farm and they have
called the turn. With operatio=s 10
the southwest booming and a certain
revival 10 the north Elk Fork promises
TO be very busy spot for some months
yet.
The deep sand territory wnl have a
chance TO be heard from in a more en-
phatic manner within the next few
weeks than at any time since that terri
tory has been a factor in the possible
ity OF supplying a large amount OF new
production. The Gordon territory, In
Tyler county. has only in part been
tested, but the wells have been OF the
paying kind.

General.
The Cleveland wholesale merchants
now on their trip OF trade extension
were entertained yesterday morning by
the committee from the chamber of
commerce, appointed for that purpose.
The entertainment consisted OF a trolley
ride through the southern portion OF the
fifty, in a car generously loaned by the
Wheeling Railway Company.
The visitors were met by the commits
tee at the corner OF Fourteenth and
Water streets al $50 o'clock. Two open
cars were at their disposal, but owing
10 many OF the party having engage
ments elsewhere one car was sufficient.
This car, which was in charge OF Secre-
tary Shirley and Superintendent Lotus,
was boarded at the corner OF Fifteenth
and Main streets. The following mem
beers OF the committee accompanied the
party: Messrs. b, w. Peterson, Howard
Hazlett, Frank Mccoy. L. E, Sands, c,
W. HEduAHellit II. r. 0euIeuSt 9coIbt
Wise, Frank Caldwell, Edgerton Vance
and John II. Riheldafter.
The car went as far as BenwoOd, and
all along the route the visitors were i'm
pressed with the signs of Industrial ac-
tivity. They were particularly struck
with the big Riverside steel plant. Upon
the return the Wheeling Pottery Com
pany's plant was visited, and the party
was given the opportunity to inspect
the manufacture OF pottery ware in It's
various courses through the courtesylOf
President Franzheim. He explained
the many details TO the evident pleas
ure OF the visitors, and an hour was de-
hghtfully spent in the pottery. II was
about 1880 o'clock when the car was
boarded again for the trIp up town. and
the party dispersed In the business dis
trict. The Clevelanders left shortly az
ter over the Ohio River stopping at
Moundsyilie. SistersviiIe and Parkers-

generosity. TIE Wheeling & Elm Grove

The visit and speeches of Senator
Hanna along the river front in Bel

eompllshed much for the cause Of Re-

publican leaders are now confident in
their assertions that, not only will
Bushnell and the entire state ticket re-
ceived handsome majority, bur the
Legislative candidates as well will go
through on a generous, margin.
Mr.. Hanna's manly and straightfoF-
ward defense of his record carried con
vietion to the minds of his hearers at
Martins Ferry. AetHaville. Bridgeport,
and Bellalre, and made him many
friends and supporters, among men
who had been blinded by the dirty al

The Efforts OF Democrats in council
and out OF It to make partisan issue
OF the municipal yetunding loan project
does not meet with the approval and
support OF the rank and file Of the
party Many Democrats who have
been discussing the loan during the
week are loud in their expressions OF
disgust at the position assumed by the
Register and the seven Democratic
members OF council who solidly opposed
the loan ordinance at last Tuesdays
meeting OF council,
Two Democratic members OF council
gave the novel explanation OF their po-
sition that they do not propose TO sup
port measure that will strengthen the
Republican party In municipal politics.
Another reason advanced for the per-
sistent opposition to the loan coming
from certain quarters Is that 1t is in
fiuenced by interests holding high In
terest bonds OF the city. Neither OF
these reasons, OF cours,f can carry
weight with citizens who have the in
terest OF the city at heart.
Yesterday afternoon an Intelligencer
reporter saw several citizens and asked
their views on the retunding ordinance.
MIR. Frank Mccoy, Of the Mccoy Shoe
Company was first seen. Mr. Mccoy Is
a Democrat Said he:
II haven't been an admirer OF your
Republican council on general princi-
pies, but | will say in all candor that
council Is making a sensible business
move in attempting to relieve the city
OF high Interest bearing bonds by the
substitution Of bonds bearing four per
awaT fnNnrauN a ~ h4tgtnagg
II owed Smith $500 and was paying
him six per cent. interest, and you came
along and offered to lend me $500 at four
per cent. l would be distinctly foolish
If didn't borrow from you and pay of
the other loan. This is done every day
in business life, and business principles
should always govern council in con-
Quoting municipal affairs. Politics has
no place In this matter and should not
be injected into Il.
Mr.. II. p McGregor. OF II. P. Nc
Gregor & Co. president OF the Ohio
county board OF commissioners. took
practically the same view of the re-
funding loan project that Is expressed
above by Mr.. Mccoy.
President Hullihen Quarter, of the
Delaplain Dry Goods Company and the
chamber OF commerce, said he had not
investigated the matter carefully. but
so far as he had read the papers he
could see nothing but sensible busi~
ness proposition in the proposal to re-
fund the city loans.
School Commissioner Fred Schaub
says: The refunding scheme is good
one. carrying with ii good business prin-
ciples, and | don't see where there
should be opposition to 1t Any think
ing taxpayer must see the advantages
of paying four per cent rather than six
per cent"
Dr. j. H. Pipes said yesterday after
noon: 4 am in favor OF any PROPOSE

THAT LEWIS ENDORSEMENT.

President 7. L Lewis. OF the Ohio
Federation of Labor, has taken oeca-
sion to deny that ne ever signed let
ter in the summer OF 1886 tndorsinG Mr..
Hanna as an employer of labor. Mr..
Lewis's denial is so worded as to make
the reader believe that he denies sign
ing the document in question at all,but
a more careful reading of the denial
shows that he simply says that he did
not sign the letter as president OF the
Ohio Miners Union and president OF
the Ohio Trades Assembly. That he did
sign the letter after personal invest.
CATION in Cleveland Of Mr.. Hanna's
employment OF workingmen. was con-
firmed by Mr.. Lewis himself at a
meeting OF the trades assembly held in
the city OF Columbus. in JANUARY, 1887,
says the Columbus State journal MIR.
Lewis said at that time that he did sign
the letter indorsing Mr. Hanna. but
that he signed It only as an individual
and not in his official capacity. Further
than that. he said that every word In
the document was true. and he was
willing to prove Il to any person who
might want the proof.
W. T. Lewis. a brother OF T. L. Lew
: is, is responsible. II anyone IL. for ap-
pending the official title TO T. L. Lewls's
name. IL is presumed that ". T Lewis
simply added the title so that organic
ed labor all over the country would
know who and what T. L. Lewis was.
But whatever blame attaches to the
use ofthe title Of office, lies with W. T.
Lewis and with no one else.
In his so-called denial r. l. lewis
says that the use OF the titles of Office
after his name in his last years letter,
was "a fraud" which IL a very strong
term to use in connection with the act
OF ones own brother, As q matter Of
fact II was not q fraud and was simply
to show workmen OF the United States
what a man who occupied certain high
positions found out abou, Mr.. Hanna
UPON personal Investigation. Mr 7. l..
Lewis knew last year, he knew last
January, and he knew month ago,
that his name had been issued with IL
ties attached to n document showing
that he had investigated personally Mr.
Hanna's record and that ne Endorsed 1t,
and vet he does not denounce this
fraud" until october q. 1897. and then,
In a blind and misleading letter that is
so worded as to make appear true tha,
which was not true, and which calls a
fraud" an act OF his own brother. So
much for T. L. Lewis.
