The largest well that has yet been
drilled in in the Elk Fork field was
that of the Fearless Oil Company, on
the Agnes Gorrell farm, in the South
weS extension. The well was drilled
to the top of the sand late Sunday eve
ming and yesterday morning was COM
pleted to the sand. It started off at the
rate Of 20 barrels an hour yesterday
morning, and in the afternoon had in
creased to so barrels an hour. This
well is located short distance to the
east of the wells on the Hill farm and
is not q. great way from the small pro-
ducers drilled in on the futile and Far
rell leases. This will make things look
first-class in that section of the field,
and quite a lot of new work has been
started. The Henry & Macdonald Oil
Company have started their 10. 1, on
the Agnes Gorrell, and their No. on
the w. w. Gorrell. In addition to this
quite a number of other wells that have
been shut down, and on which work has
been stopped, will be started at once.
The coming in Of the Fearless Oil
Company's we'll so good will make
things hum out in that section for a
long time There are quite number
of locations out there on which work
was stopped on account of the small
wells drilled in on the futile and Farrell
farms, but these will be all started up
at once, and in addition to that quite a
number of others will be started The
Henry & Macdonald Oil Company
have located their No. and on the
Agnes Gorrell and No. 2 on the w. w.
Farrell, and the rigs will be started at
once.
A test well of great importance to the
talent is that of the South Penn Oil
Company on the J. P. Low lease in
Wetzel county. This well is located on
Upper Rem, a branch of Long Run, and
directly west of No. 2 on the Lacock
drilled - the Philadelphia Gas Com
pany. The we'll developed gas pres
sure of 600 pounds to the minute in the
Big Injun sand and it is believed there
is a good big pool of oil in that vicinity.
There is a difference in the levels OF
about forty feet between the Lacock and
JQ0 LOW We'll, duu IL 10 D0llcNSu UHOiC 10
every reason that a. we'll of some conse-
Quence will be gotten there.
The same company is drilling their
No. 2 on the Robinson tract to the Cor
don sand also. This well is located
near the Owls head and was terrific
gasser in the Big Injun sand.
The we'll drilled in on the Davis farm
at Wilson Run, Saturday, by Horsford
& Company, is dry in the Big Injun
sand. This gives the Wilson Run terri
tory black eye from which it will
hardly recover, as all sections OF the
field have been defined.
The outlook in the southwest extern
sion of the Elk Fork field is better now
than it has been for some time. During
the past week or ten days there has
been very little out there that has
amounted to anything but the coming
in of the well on the Gorrell which
is mentioned above, will boost things
along considerably, and there will be
another squirt out there.

ing review or the grain market:
CHICAGO-Bull traders en- change to-
day were rather disagreeably surprised
relative to the figures on the worlds wheat
shipments last week, consequently the
opening was weak. Initial transactions
in the May future being posted at 9l9sc, a
decline of &c from Saturday, and though
the selling pressure was not especially pro-
nounced CIR heavy it was sufficient TO
warrant a. further reduction and a grad
ual decline to Gle was Immediately insti-
tuued The decline in December wheat
was about the same, opening &c lower at
971bc, and then slowly easing off TO Bic.
Worlds shipments amounted to 9,113VO
bushels, OF which Russia contributed g.
256,GO0 bushels. These shipments compar-
ed with 9,S7SO00 bushels last week and T.
41S.C00 for the corresponding period of last
year.
Liverpool showed a decline of %G7sd at
1 30 p. m. due it was said. to the heavy
Russian shipments. The amount on pas
sage increased 100000 bushels.
Northwest receipts continued heavy and
Duluth claimed that there is a very large
amount of wheat there 100000 bushels
destined for Chicago. The market con-
tinued weak. and with light trading prices
declined to 99asc by one o'clock. The Wis
ble supply increased 94s0 900 bushels, little
less than expected. The close was weak

METHODIST PREACHERS MEET.
An Interesting Paper Read at the
Meeting.

The Methodist Episcopal Preachers AS
sociation convened yesterday in this
city. The most interesting feature of the
meeting was paper on "S.lould Our
Church be More Democratic" read by
Rev. w. W. Sharpe.
Amorg other things Mr.. Sharpe rec
commended equal representation OF lay
men in general conferences. But perhaps
the most important suggestion advanced
by the reverend gentleman was the limi-
tations of the terms of the bishops, and
the election of presiding elders with CO.
ordinate powers of the bishop.
These are all suggestions Of serious i'm
portance to the association, and the en-
tire papers was heatedly discussed by the
members. The discussion brought forth
some sensational remarks from the visit
ing divines, as the acts of the Presiding
Bishop of the late Methodist Conference,
held at Chestertown were open to criti-
cism. 1t was thought be several speak
ers, that the manner Of electing a bishop
should be materially changed.

NO FEELING IN GIRLS EODY.
Wholly Insensible to Pain and Be-
comes HypnOtized When Gazed
at Fixedly.

New York, Nov. S.-The most extra
ordinary case ever known to science is
now under treatment at the New York
Hospital. 1t is that of a young girl who
is who y insensible to pain and who falls
into u hypnotic trance the moment any
person looks straight into her eyes.
The girl is foewoman in an underlinen
factory, and for professional reasons DR..
Charles f. Nammack, who Las charge of
her strange case, refuses to give her
name. She goes about her business as us
'la, but she has absolutely no feeling in
any portion of her body, not even being
aware of the fact if she should handle
red-hot object, until she sees the flesh Of
her hand burning. She must avoid meet
ing the eyes of all she comes in contact
with or she falls into state of complete
catalepsy, from which she is with much
difficulty revived.
The girl appeared at the outdoor clinic
conducted by Dr. Nammack month
ago. She explained that she had been
treated with hypnotism for a needle
prick wound received four years ago and
the treatment had left her in a most ex-
tlaordinary state.
"The moment l looked her stead
lily in the eyes," said DIR. Nam
mack to-day, "she became catalep-
tic, and it took several hours to
restore her to her normal state. Ithen
discovered that the girl presented the
first case of complete anaesthesia ever
known to the medical profession, When
not under the influence of hypnotlsm the
young woman is absolutely insensible to
pain. We pricked her eveball with a
needle without producing the smallest
impression, and a feather pushed down
her throat produced no sensation what
ever. She could only tell when she was
being burned by the sight OF the scorch-'
ing flesh. .
"The girls other senses are perfectly
normal. She can see and hear perfectly,
but if anyone gazes at her stcadi y she
becomes wholly cataleptic. Her limbs
become rigid and they will remain in
whatever position they are placed"
The girl is engaged to be married, and
for this reason she is most anxious to be
cured. Her sweetheart now cannot look
in the girls eyes without totally hypno-
tizing her, and the courting must be done
back to back.

SPANARDS FEEL BITTER.
Antipathy to the United States Be-
cause Of Sympathy for Cuba.

| SsSuSS va ~ AssIsse'J ava
New YORK, Nov. S.-Captain William
Wyndham, who has been transferred as
British Consul at Chicago after three
wears service in similar capacity at
Barcelona, Spain, was a passenger on La
Bretagne, which arrived from Havre tc-
day. After spending week with rela-
tivcs in Philadelphia he will leave for
his new post at Chicago. He said
"The feeling in Spain against the
United States is one of great bitterness.
There have been no demonstrations in
Barcelona or thereabouts within the last
year against the United States, and the
Spanish Government is taking care that
there shall be none. The bitterness,
however, is very marked, articularly in
Barcelona. Before the Cuban war BARGE
iona, one of the great manufacturing
centres Of Spain, prospered chiefly in its
trade with Cuba and Manila. The war
in Cuba and the PHILIPPINE Islands Las
cut off this trade. Barcelona has lost the
best and most lucrative market she en-
joycd. Only onc-third OF the men hithcr-
to employed in her factories are now
working, and they on reduced time. All
over the manufacturing centres Of SIain
there is similar commercial prostration.
The Spanish cannot understand why
the United States, friendly M
ton, should allow so many fill
clustering expeditions t. get away
safely to Cuba. That fact makes them ad-
ditionly bitter. When left Spain there
were no symptoms of anger against the
late Minister of the States to that coun-
try, Hannis Taylor. The Spanish wer,
too much absorbed in what General
Woodford, your new Minister, might say
and do. l heard no talk there of war
with the United States. Spain las not
the money to wage a war with. As to
the reported uprising of the Carlists, lido
not think there is much danger of that
now. The Carlists would not stand much
ofa chance of gain rs things are now
governed in Spain"
