Ellenboro, w. Va, March 1.-The
grand jury, which adjourned last
week at Harrisyille, gave worlxmen in
the oil fields surprise by returning
several indictments against persons
for hauling material, pumping wells
and doing other work on Sunday.
Supervisor Malley and Foreman Mar
shall, of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, also drew prizes for laying new
steel rails on the Sabbath day. The
speakeasy men got goodly numcer OF
the eighty-two true bills returned.
Naughton e Co. have about conclud-
ed to drill another we'll over in the
neighborhood of the mouth of Stew
arts run.
Talk Of piping natural gas to Ellen
boro has been revived, and it is prob
able the town will be supplied with the
fuel before many months.
1T is amusing to note the efforts St
Marys and Pennsboro are making to
secure the business going to the new
oil pool about the Abicht farm. St.
Mary's is fully twelve miles away, and
Pennsboro is six, while Ellenboro is
less than three miles, and gets the
people.
The South Penn Oil Company is
shipping large quantities of new sup
plies to their depot here, preparatory
to doing much operating.
w. Paul Gage has charge of the
Eureka Pipe Line Company's new sta
tion on the Dye farm.

Cleveland, Ohio, March IA special
from Lima, Ohio, says: The price of
crude oil continues its upward flight
and received another boost by an adj
vance again to-day of four cents per
barrel. making North Lima oil 60
cents; South Lima and Indiana oil 90
cents. Pennsylvania oil also went up
four cents, and is quoted at 81 cents.
Much excitement prevails among pro-
ducers. Many predict the price will
reach the dollar mark within the next
month.

BlAMES TORAL FOR DEFEAT.
DIR. CONGOSTO TALKS OF THE
FALL OF SANTIAGO.
Says If Spanish Commander Had
Pushed Forward He Would
Have Caused a Repulse.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Among the
passengers who arrived to-day on the
steamer City of Washington from Ha-
vana were DR.. Jose Congosto and Cap
tain Fred Sharp of the Merritt and
Chapman Wrecking Company. The City
of Washington brought forty-one cabin
passengers and a small cargo, compos-
ed chiefly of cigars and tobacco. DR..
CongoSto will sail for France on Octo-
ber 1st.
Captain Sharp was greatly pleased
to learn that the Spanish cruiser Maria
Teresa had been fioated and taken to
Guantanamo. He thinks the collier
Merrmac, sunk in Santiago Harbor,
can be saved.
DR.. Congosto said: "The evacuation
of Cuba by Spain is a matter Of time,
but when I left Havana everything
was progressing well. / do not care to
enter into all the reasons for the de-
lay, but one of the principal causes is
the fact that we have over 5000 sick
who must be taken care Of, and cannot
be left behind.
The problem of the future of the
island is a difficult one, and l have
studied it without prejudice, and as a
result of this study of years l believe
that it is a social problem. and not
a political one. OF course, politics will
enter into the solution, but the main
question is how to bring the most
prosperity and the greatest happiness
to the people of Cuba. 1t is probable
that there will be a large emigration
to the island, and this emigration may
assist in solving the problem. OF
course, a difficulty will be met in view
of the dangers of fever and the cli-
mate"
DR.. Congosto was asked as to his
condition of the reconcentrados.
There are no reconcentrados now"
he answered with a smile.
What has become of them?" was the
next question.
They are gone"
"Where?"
God knows" was the reply.
DO you mean to say that they are
all dead?"
THAT probably explains it better
| than I can. 1t is a subject which l
prefer not to discuss"
When asked as to the establishment
| of new navy for Spain, DR.. Congosto
said Spain is still a great country,
and she ought to have a great navy
and probably WILL
Regarding the fall of Santiago and
the surrender of General Toral, DR..
Congosto said: There were brave
soldiers at Santiago, and if their leader
| lacks courage he ought to be punished.
Santiago should not have fallen as it
did, and If Toral had not entered into
| negotiations with the enemy, it is likely
| that there would have been a different
story to tell to-day. 1t is not true
| that the Spanish army there lacked
supplies and ammunition, for they had
plenty Of BOTH which they turned over
to the Americans. If Toral had pushed
| forward instead of retreating towards
the city, he certainly would have caus-
| ed a repulse. These are things which
he will have to explain

ROSS DEPARTED.
And Now the Police Would Like
Him to Come Back.

An old man named j. c. Ross was ar
rested Tuesday night for drunkenness
and was yesterday morning taken be
fore Justice Davis, who, after admin
istering the regulation rebuke, together
with the injunction to sin no more, told
him to go.
j. c. Ross went, but an hour later
the officers were sorry the Judge had
been merciful. They learned that he
had, before his arrest on Tuesday
night, stolen a skirt and a cloak from
Mrs. Lewis, who resides at 41o1a K
street, and had sold the same to g
secondhand dealer for 30 cents.
Ross appeared to have dropped com
pletely out of sight. as none of the
officers were able to locate him yester-
day.

country, and that the memories of
those who have fallen in it's defense
shall be held in grateful and everlasr-
ing remembrance; that the State should
make suitable provision for additional
pay to our New Jersey volunteers.
While we rejoice and feel thankful
TO them for their great victories on land
and sea, we denounce the gross, open,
criminal incompetency Of those placed
in and defiantly kept in charge of the
affairs of the War Department of the
present Administration Of the Govern
ment of the United States, resulting in
the needless loss of life and the inflic-
tion of horrible suffering and torture
| upon thousands of the brave defenders
of the country's honor, and we charge
the present Administration with being
solely responsible for the horrible re-
suits of this incompetency of Govern
ment officials continued even after the
appalling results were repeatedly
brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent of the United States and his official
advisers, and We call the attention of
the people of the State to the fact that
up to this time not a single example
has been made of a Government official
responsible for these monstrous wrongs.
I'VE deplore the spectacle Of an ex-
Governor Of this State, now a member
of that Cabinet, appearing at a public
convention of his party as the apollo
gist and defender of Algerism and it's
results"
Even before the State convention
was called to order it became apparent
that Prosecutor Alvin w. Crane of Es-
sex County would be nominated by the
convention, after complimentary votes
had been given to a favorite son of
different counties. State Senator
Smith declared for Crane, and this
seemed to be accepted as settling the
matter.
Crane was nominated on the first
ballot.

As stated in yesterdays paper in
the suit of W. P. Bates VS., ODwyer
& Ahern, at Dallas, the jury could
not agree, We learn it stood six to
six. The case, we understand, grew
out of an old debt of O'Dwyer &
Ahern against Judge NJ. W. Bates
the latter was running a sawmill at
Ogden and became indebted to the
former in the sum Of several thou
sand dollars, which was secured by
mortgage. AS we hear it, Mr.. W.
P. Bates "a son of Judge Bates is
suing O'Dwyer & Ahern for the sum
of So, 600 for services and supplies
for the mill while it was being run.
O'Dwyer & Ahern claim they never
heard of the matter until after
they had had complete settlement
with Judge Bates, and deny all liza
bility whatever Case will be re-
tried at the September term Of the

Mr.. Webb is a comparatively young

themselves to their books and put
half the zeal into their studies that
they do into the pleasures of life
they, too, would fit themselves for

The war department will soon
have the naming of three bait e.

other cities and states are clamor-

these vessels after them, we will lay
our modesty aside for a little while
and suggest that the name OF
''Texarkana" would spread dismay
in the ranks OF the Spauiards as
soon as they could read the letter
ing on the side of such a ship. This
name would be appropriate, as the
three states, Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana, furnished during the last
war some of the bravest troops
that faced Yankee guns, and now
that all sectional disagreements are
to buried and forgotten, let us have
one of these warships named after
the three states that will send
fighting material to man it if the
order is given.
