BUILDING LOTS.

Another important epoch in the
towns history is the land owners
consenting to sell building lots. No
other town in the Ohio valley today
is more desirable tor those wishing
to buy a home. We have paved
streets, perfect sewerage, excellent
water works and a thousand and
one desirable features.
The town, too, is making rapid
strides morally, and ere 'ong we
will boast of having the most desir-
able residence town within Uncle
Sans domain.
Mr.. Roome, it is understood, will
offer some very desirable building
lots for sale, as we'll as other realty
holders on the southern outskirts of
the city. The situation is indeed
encouraging and many changes
will be wrought by the close of
1903.

couraging indeed. Never before
was her future 50 bright, with one
exception; the low price of oil. Not
only is the outlook promising in this
industry alone, but every branch Of
trade.
The carpenters, bricklayers and
stonemasons have sufficient work
engaged to keep them busy during
the greater part of the summer.
When the roads again become pass
able the operators will again follow
their vocation. The Elk Fork pool
is not so nearly rounded up" as
some people would have the outside
world believe. This pool alone
will warrant busy summer for the
Oil Metropolis.
While it may be conceded that
the zenith of the fields production
has been passed, YET there is unmis-
taxable evidence of further extern
sion except to the north. The
northeast will furnish a number of
paying producers yet, as will the
south and southwest. There are
several other pools that will afford
plenty of work to the driller and tool
dresser:
The Jug pool is an unknown
quantity and promises to be the
scene of quite good deal of drilling
during the summer months.
Wilson run is another locality
that will afford employment for sew
eral peoNlo dHring the entire sum-
mer SEASON.. This locality has
proven to bevety spotted, yet will
be able to furnish some good pro-
ducers, provid-l the right spot is
encountered.
The petroleum industry is not
now to be cons iered the sole source
of subsistence for the "greatest town
on EARTH" The SIS rsville & Salem
pike will give many men and teams
employment when the weather be-
comes Sc. i enough to allow the
contractors to resume macadamlz'
ing. Money has been subscribed
for the repairing of the cemetery
hill road and it, too, will be mac
adamized during the early spring
months at cost of 81 900.
THE RAILROAD.
If the $4,000 bond issue carries
in Lincoln district, as of course it
will, we will have a narrow guage
railroad running through the coun-
ty as rapidly as it can be construct
ed. This will mean employment
for hundreds of men, who will get
their supplies from Sisterville. The
railroad will also have its shops
here, and various other things that
necessa-ially will require a consid-
cradle outlay of capital.
THE GLASS FACTORY.
The most important event, and
one that will open the way of es-
tablishing to the world the advant-
ages of Sistersville as manufact-
urin center is just materallzlng.
Money has bsen subscribed for a
glass factory, which is to be erected
at once. The factory will turn out
decorated ware that always finds
sale twelve months in the year. It
will, on the opening, employ sixty
skilled men, and will be a great &C
QUESTION to the town. The exact
date for work to be commenced has
not yet been arranged definitely,
but only a short length of time will
be required.
A site has been practically agreed
upon, and there is absolutely no
doubt but that it will be built at
once. Of course it, as every other
enternrise that has been starred

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Four Missionary Bishops Chosen by the
 House of Bishops

Washington, Oct 20-The house of bishops of the Episcopal council took important action to-day in selecting four missionary bishops. Owing to the solemnity of this proceeding it was pre- ceded by holy communion The ballot ing ensued, with the following result: For Boise, Idaho, Rev. James Bowen Funston, rector of Trinity church, Portsmouth, Va; for Sacramento, Cal, Rev. William Hall Moreland, rector of St. Luke's church, San Francisco, Cal; for North Dakota, Rev. Samuel c. Ed sal, rector of St. Peter's church. Chi cago; presiding bishop of Brazil, Rev. Lucien Leo Kinsolving of Virginia, at present residing in Brazil, and brother of Bishop Kinsolving of Texas. The selections now go before the house of deputies for final action, which, how ever, is considered a formality. The house of bishops decided also to pro- ceed to the election of a bishop of Ashe- vile, N. C., at 4:30 p. m.
 The report to the house of deputies of the committee on the state of the church presented a comprehensive sur- vey of the work of the last three years. While showing progress and healthy activity in the main, the report frankly pointed out retrogression in some re- spects and a falling off in the percent age of contributions for certain objects. The total contributions of the last three years for all purposes reached $31 ,541, ,- IFS There has been an increase of bishops from seventy to eighty three, of clergynen from 4,O22 to 4,3SO. The number of baptism has been 192, ,725, combinations 134,741, communicants 6S1,645 The present church sittings are LOSS, ,901
 At the afternoon session the bishops concurred in the resolution for final ad- journment on October 25. They con- cured also in the letter to the Czar of Russia relative to his peace conference and in the resolution expressing appre- citation of the sympathy of Great Brit ain during the recent war, The bish- ops received nominations for the vacant missionary bishopric of Asheville, N. C., but no choice was made. The house of deputies spent the afternoon on the proposed general revision of canons, but made no progress. By unanimous vote the house adopted a resolution fixing Tuesday next, October 25, as the day of final adjournment, the closing exercises to occur at D. m.

THE GUESTS GREATLY EXCITED. Result of a Fire In Rear of United States
 Hotel, Hartford.

Hartford, Oct 20.-The United States hotel on State street was the scene of unusual excitement tonight owing to fire which broke out shortly after ten o'clock in the kitchen and bakery in the rear of the hotel proper. The hotel was crowded with guests and there were fully one hundred people in the house when the alarm was sounded. There was nasty gathering of effects and a lively stampede, and the early arrivals witnessed such scenes as are always at- tendant upon the hurried exit of guests from a hotel after many of them had retired. Two servant girls in their ex- citement jumped from their room win dows, but escaped unharmed. The kitchen and bakery is one-story build ing in the rear of the hotel proper. A new oven had recently been placed in the bakery and it is believed that the fire was caused from some defect in placing it in position. The money loss will be about $2,000 The interior of the hotel was damaged considerable by wa ter. The livery stable connected with the hotel was near where the fire start ed, but all the horses were gotten out in safety.

apart, until the Oquendo ran ashore. Then the Vizcaya veered out to sea and the Colon kept nearer the shore, their courses being seven-tenths of mile apart. Up to the time the Oquendo went ashore the Iowa, Indiana, Ore gon and Texas sailed on courses within three-tenthS of a mile of each other, the Iowa being the nearest and the Texas the farthest from the course of the Spanish ships. The swing to the right which the Brooklyn made at the beginning of the engagement shows an oval four-tenths of a mile across. She crossed the courses of the Texas Ore gon and Indiana while making the turn but before those vessels had gone over them. The course of the New York af- ter pa ssing Moro was nearer the shore than any other United States vessel except the Gloucester and a mile be- hind where the Oquendo turned to run ashore, she passed inside the course of the Spanish vessels Ten miles west of the Vizcaya disaster she crossed the Colon's track
 The Iowa, Indiana and Ericsson did not go farther west than where the F1zcaya ran ashore. The Gloucester stopped by the Maria Teresa and Oquendo as also did the Hist The latter vessel was not able to keep pace with the New York and Ericsson, the vessels she was with at the beginning of the battle

THE BATTLE OF JULY THIRD.
Official Report of the Positions of the
 Ships Engaged.

Washington, Oct 20-The report of the Wainwright board, convened for the purpose of determining the posi- tions and courses of the ships engaged in the action at Santiago, July 3, was officially made public to-day. The re- port gives in detail the positions of the various vessels engaged at different stages of the battle, concluding as fol- lows:
 Position No z, lis p. m.-The Colon surrendered In the two hours and ten minutes from the last position given the vessels had coursed westward a great distance. The Colon had run twenty-six and one-half miles and was off the Tarquino river. The Brooklyn was the nearest American vessel. She had sailed twenty-eight and half miles and was three and four-tenths miles from the Colon. The Oregon was four and half miles from the Colon and more inshCre than the Brooklyn. The Texas was three and three-tenths miles behind the Oregon. None of the other vessels had come up save the Vixen, which was abreast of the New York. This little vessel in the begin ming of the fight steamed out to sea and sailed westward on course about two and one-quarter miles from that of the nearest Spanish ship.
 The tracings of the chart show that the Spanish vessels sailed on courses not more than three-tenth of a mile

THE AMERICAN POLICY.
A Member of Parliament Predicts a
 Great Transformation.

London, Oct. 1O.-The Right Hon. Edourd Courtenay, M. F., speaking at Tideford, Cornwall, this evening said that one of the consequences of the war with Spain upon the American people had peen to create spirit which must in the near future lead to a great transformation of American character and policy. Instead of being a self contained, industrious, peaceful and non- aggressive people," said MT. Cour- tenay the Americans if they take sovereignty in Cuba, will have to keep a large naval and military force in or der to make the influence of the United States felt Although the American members of the peace commission have declared that the United States do not want Cuba or the Philippines the his that when once there was an occupa- tion the intention to leave after disor- der has been righted has seldom been put into execution. The war empha- sizes the necessity of the peace pro- posals of the czar. If there had been an organized tribunal to settle interna- tional quarrels, the Hispano-American conflict might have been averted even after passion had been aroused by the Maine disaster"

THE RAGING IF COLUMBUS.
Suspicious Driving of Pilot Boy-One
 Driver Fined $10O.

Columbus, O., Oct. 20.-The weather was clear and warm to-day, but the track was several seconds slow. The 2:0S trot, postponed from Wednesday, was disappointment. The judges sus- pected that Nell was not driving Pilot Boy to win, and when the gelding was permitted to drop to the rear in the fourth heat Nell was admonished. His effort in the next heat did not satisfy the judges and McHenry was substi tuted, but to no avail. Captain Jack won the last three heats and the race. Birch Twig was favorlte in the 2:20 pace, but Bay Leaf rank outsider, won the race when Finley had been compelled to drive him out. In the first three heats it was apparent that Bay Leaf had the speed, but was not being pushed and the judges promptly fined Finley $100. Hans McGregor was the favorite in the 2:11 trot, but on scoring the second time he ran away and was not stopped until he had twice encircled the track Kinney was thrown, but not injured. Hans Mo- Gregor was then drawn and all bets were declared off. Only three heats were trotted, there being three heat winners when racing was stopped by darkness.
