Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, Sept, 7,--
An important deal IN producing oil prop
erty has just been closed by which tho
Cleveland oil. Company, of Cleveland,
Ohio. gets DR., j. Bolards lease and pro-
ductIon on the Sam Corbett farm in the
Waverly field. There are four produc-
Ing wells on the lease making ninety
six barrels per day. The price paid for
the property was S21,50O, which, even at
the low price at which oil is selling, Is
considered only fair. The property sold
is in the heart OF the waverly field and
has been developed within the last year.
There is a strong pressure Just at pres
ent to sell producing property and other
sales Of good production are expected to
take place In a short time, as negotia-
tions are now pending for their sale.

OHIO GOLD DEMOCRATS
A Full State Ticket TO bo Nominated.
Bynum 90 Speak.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 1.-THE state
gold Democratic convention will assem-
BILE tomorrow. when district meetings
will be held The convention proper is
to meet on Thursday. Mr.. Bynum, of
Indiana, will be the principal speaker.
The purpose is to nominate full state
ticket. The Columbus contingent have
decided to put up candidates for state
senator, representatives In the legisln-
ture and suggest to other counties to
follow suit. The feeling among the
gold Democrats is that since some OF
the party may, or would not vote Tor
the gold tickets Of any other party, II Is
best to give them gold Democratic cam
didates. The convention will meet In
the Great Southern theatre. The party
will have 10 petition TO get on the bal
lot. They claim that the vote in Ohio
for the gold candidates for president
last fall, did not represent the full
strength of the National gold Demo-
Gratis in the state as many openly or
otherwise to make n sure thing of the
success OF the gold element, voted for
Mckinley. Judge John II. Clark, OF
Youngstown, is being urged ns the cam
didate for governor. The representa-
tlVes In the convention will number 402.
II Is practically settled that Mr.. John
G.. Carlisle will not be at the convention
as expected
The talk here now Ia that the conven-
tlon win endorse gold Democrat for
United States senator This probably
forcshadows the endorsement OF Hon,
Joseph II. Outhwnite.

CROP CONDITIONS
For tho Past wosk-Corn Has Been Un-
TavorRbly Affected.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1.-The
weather bureau, in Its report of crop
conditions for the week ended at a. M.
September 6, says;
In the central valleys and southern
states the week has not been favorable,
owing to general absence of rain and
prevalence OF high temperatures. Hot,
drying winds have proved injurious in
the states of Lower Missouri and Gem
tral Mississippi valleys and rains, un-
usually heavy for the season in Oregon
and Washington, interfered with har-
Vesting and threshing in those states,
but caused no serious injury to grain.
Corn has been very unfavorably af-
fected by the weather conditions of the
past week In the principal corn produc-
ing states. High temperature and alb
sence OF much needed rain have chetk-
ed growth OF the late crop and caused
premature rlpening, while the preva-
lence OF hot winds have caused injury,
particularly in the states of the lower
Mississippi valley. In Iowa and Mlssou-
ri much corn is past help and will be
cut for fodder. The conditions, however.
have been more favorable TO corn In
the lake region, upper Ohio valley and
New England and In the middle Allan
tic states the crop Is generally doing
well.
The general condition Of cotton Is less
favorable than in the previous week and
over portions Of the Middle and eastern
stations OF the cotton belt there has
been marked deterioration.
The bulk of the tobacco crop has been
cut and housed generally in good condi-
ton. except In Kentucky and Tennessee
where the crop promises to be very
short, particularly In the first named
state

SHORT WHEAT CROP

United states the Grnnhry,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. Wv.
II. Atwell, commercial agent of the
United States nt Robaix, Franco, sends
to the state department report on the
short wheat crop in France. He snys
the crop in France and in fact in all
Europe, has fallen much below the av-
erage and that It Ia estimated that the
United States and Canada will be cali
cd upon TO export from 12O,000,0O0 to
l30,0O0,0O0 bushels more than they ex-
ported to Europe last year. France will
require about 60,0O0,0O0 10 meet the de-
ficlcncy IN that country. Consul Heen-
an, at Odessa, Russia, has made quite
an extensive report to the state depart
ment concerning the failure OF tho
crops In Russia.
In many districts It has been the
wcttest season ever known and grain
has been destroyed by both rain and
hail. Much OF the grain was not worth
the expense OF binding. The wheat roe
ceived at odessa Is OF q very Inferior
quality The report predicts that little
wheat win be exported from Russia
during the season OF 1898, as there IA
llltlc available for that purpose. the old
stocks being practically exhausted mud
the now crop little more than sufficient
for the home demand. The failure az

those countries into Russia and wheut

SAW ST. ELMO'S FIRE.
Brilliant Electrical Display Witnessed
at Sea by Steamers Crew.

New York, March 26-Captain Shone-
mon of the big steamer South Cambria
sat in the cosy cabin of his vessel last
evening and told a story of stormy
weather. dense fogs and an electric dis
play at sea while bound from the Medi-
terranean to this port. ~
Off Bermuda's coast ST. Elmo's fire
tipped the masts of the Cambria, and to
the practiced eyes of the =. crew that
meant a storm. This was about dark,
and the blue flames which moved about
the mastheads and spars were glowing
like signal fires calling on the clans of
the sea and air. A bowling gale be-
gan to whistle through the wire rig
ging, and several hours later the
steamer was struggling along, rolling,
pitching and lunging. She would not
mind her helm, but fell into the trough
of the sea. Floods of water broke over
the rails and left a crust of ice behind
as they passed through the scuppers.
When the gale had spent itself the seas
began to subside. but the lights re-
manned on the mast tips until the
barometer indicated clearing weather.
Then they seemed to separate into
fragmentary parts and disappear grad
ually into the water.

RUN DOWN ON THE STREET.
Fast Driving on the Avenue Results
in an Accident

F. A. Ely, head waiter at the Ma
tional hotel, was run over yesterday
afternoon at the corner of Sixth and
Kansas avenue by 'Bes'' Ritchie, a
local horse trader, as the latter was
driving his team. hitched to a light
buggy, rapidly down Kansas avenue.
The accident occurred al 2:30 o'clock.
Ely was walking across the street with
a friend. When near the trolley car
tracks Richie and a companion came
along in the buggy. He held the reins
loosely in his hands and the horses
were going at a lively gait. There
was no street car within half a block.
Ely did not see the team coming. He
was struck fairly in the back by the
neckyOke of tongue and thrown vio-
lently to the pavement on the car
tracks. He struck on his shoulder and
fell to one side. Richie grabbed up the
reins and prevented the horses from
pulling the buggy over him.
One of the animals was thrown to the
pavement by the force of the collision.
Ely was able to get out from under
the horses feet and was assisted to the
side of the avenue. His head was Sc
verely bruised on one side, his knee cap
injured and his left arm badly wrench
ed. Richie was taken to the police
station, where Ely stated his case. The
affair was settled without an arrest.
