QUAY AGAIN A CANDIDATE.
Doesn't Want Reelection But Opponents Force
Him Into the Fight.

Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-United States
Senator Quay, in statement issued,
tonight, announces his candidacy for
reelection. He says:
"All of my friends have been aware
of my personal antipathy to another
term in the Senate, but those promi-
nent in the late crusade against the
Republican state and Legislative can
tdidates chose to force the issue They
have made it imperative that l shall be
candidate for reelection. The gauge
of battle is accepted. The result is III
the hands of the Republican members
of the incoming Legislature, very
large proportion of whom are. my po-
litical and personal friends.
Throughout the campaign just clos
ed enormous sums of money were used
to defeat Republican Legislative can
didates. | have no doubt efforts will
be made to tamper with some of the
members elect, but they will not be
successful. The attempt to purchase
the United States senatorship, two
years ago, did not succeed then, nor
will similar attempt succeed now,
bargain counter methods having been
repudiated by the people of this state =
Senator Quay then offers a reward of
$4,000 for information leading b the
arrest and conviction of any one en-
deavoring to bride any state senator
and representative-elect.
The new Pennsylvania Legislature
referred to by Senator Quay will, by
his estimate, have a Republican major
ity on joint ballot of rs, or nearly two
thirds.
The recent campaign in this state is
alluded to in Mr.. Quay's statement as
a man hunt pure and simple charac-
terized by personal abuse. vilification
and Misrepresentation unparalleled
in American history. The chief oppon-
ents of Senator Quay were Rev. DR..
Swallow, the Honest Government"
candidate for Governor. and ex-Post-
master General Wanamaker, who
stumped the state. In the campaign of
two years old. also mentioned by SEN
ator Quay, Mr.. Wanamaker was can
didate for the United States Senate
but the choice fell upon Senator PEN
rose.
With the latter, Mr. Quay left, to-
night, for his cottage home at San Lu-
cha, Fla.

A GRAND ENDORSEMENT
OF President McKioIey's Administration, Says
Senator John Thurston.

Chicago. Nov. 1O--A special to the
Times Herald from Lincoln, Neb.,
says:
ON the results of the election, Uni
ted States Senator John M. Thurston
says the sweeping victory in the West,
including Nebraska, means the uncon-
ditional Endorsement of President Nc
Kinley's administration, the conduct
Of the war and his foreign policy. The
battle was fought on the straight gold
standard platform and the result in my
judgment, absolutely eliminates free
silver as national issue in 1900.
"The entire tendency of independent
voters is to return to old party allie
glance, with permanent gains to the
Republican party from the best ele-
ment of Democracy and Populists
This is largely due to the prosperous
conditions of agriculture and business
generally. The people are satisfied
with present conditions.
I'm Nebraska the Fusionists thus
early in the campaign practically
abandoned the free silver issue and for
a time attempted to maintain them
selves by criticism of the conduct of
the war. Driven from this, they fell
back on the McCleary bill.
"The Republican campaign was very
active and aggressive and successfully
met the three issues in detail. Above
everything else, however, was the
patriotic determination to stand by an
administration whose victories in war
and whose far-reaching and successful
foreign policy has won the admiration
of Christendom."

THE WARE MURDER.
Detective Odiin Back at Bueksport and at
Work on the Case.

A special to the Bangor News from
Sucksport, Wednesday, says: Detec-
tive +. l.. Odiin OF Lewiston arrived in
town, today, returning to the scene of
his labors on the Ware case. Mr. Cd
lin was not sent fer on account of any
new developments but upon his as
Surance to the Selectmen that he
thought some phases of the case were
of sufficient importance to be further
investigated. Just in what direction
the detective is looking for a solution
of the mystery is not at present ap-
parent.
AS the matter now stands there
seems to be two distinct movements
towards the same end, not clashing at
all but simply working independently.
The citizens committee and Detective
Dennis Tracey of Bangor, are in con-
slant consultation and are presumably
working along lines of their own, while
the selectmen, deputy sheriff ana
Detective Odlin represent the other or
original movement.
The general public have had their
hopes raised SO many times by false
reports that it is now quite startling
rumor which will cause a great deal
of excitement at the present time. The
case practically stands where it al
ways has, a complete mystery.
The statement that new evidence has
been found is not borne out by fact
No evidence has been found since the
murder connecting any party or parties
directly with it. There may be one or
two whom the suspicion may have
been narrowed down to but If they are
guilty they are the favored of every
connected with the
crime.

A BAD, WICKED NAN,
Caused Scattering in the Bril-
liant Cafe
EARLY LAST EVENING.
The Starch Soon Taken From
His Courage.

For a short time last evening
pandemonium reigned in the
Brilliant cafe on Wells street. The
dramatic advent Of an individual,
thoroughly saturated with liquid
courage, caused the incontinent
flight Of the more timid onlookers
and aroused the ire of the belleger-
ent ones. Had it not been for the
confusion which always attends
such an incident, the "bad man, !"
would have been erased from the
map. AS it was he was very
roughly handled.
The central figure in the episode
by name Jack Flodd, a labo-er in
the oil fields, entered the saloon
before six o'clock, and after ex-
planning his innate cussedness
and love for blood, drew a gun and
fired it, Fortunataly.no one was in
the way of the bullet and it lodged
harmlessly in the side wall. Flodd
then brandished the weapon in the
faces of the men present, and the
majority of them did not stand up
on the ceremony Of their going, but
went at once.
Quite few stood their ground,
however, and in the scuff1e which
ensued Flodd's gun was wrested
from him and the contour OF his
features badly disturbed by the
rough usage. His courage and wick
edness could not stand the on
slaught and at the first opportunity
he ignominiously fed. At last ac-
counts he was still running.
Flodd has tried on different oc-
casions to instill into the minds of
listeners proper respect for his
unrural physical powers. He
claims to hail from Texas, where a
bad man is a benediction to his
parents.

IT IS A TALE OF WOE.
A Well Known Detective Falls
by the Wayside.
DRINK WAS RESPONSIBLE
Touched For Eight Dollars and
a Gun.

A number of our citizens ac-
quainted with the facts are in high
merrlment over the mishap which
recently befell a detective Of some
ability, but who is a little inclined
to be bombastic when dilating upon
the remarkable shrewdness he pos
sesses as an officer of the Law. This
gentleman's self-importance, how
ever has been somewhat discredited
in the light of late events and his
fallibility to lapses from rectitude
made apparent.
He came here from Cincinnati
ostensibly for the purpose of shad-
owing couple of crooks whom he
had reasons to believe were in the
city. Such was not the case
and perhaps this disappointment
swerved him from the narrow path.
AT any rate he sought solace in the
too common comforter, "red ticker"
and with every successive fiery
portion the rankness of discord in
his soul took flight and left him in
an elysium of alcoholic bliss.
He finally collapsed, and when
reason again assembled it's throne
the humiliating discovery was made
that his pockets had been rifled of
eight dollars in money and gun.
In valgar parlance, he had been
touched, and he a detective of
widespread reputation! His impo-
tent rawlings can better be imagined
than described.
The depletion of his purse left
him destitute of funds, and an
emergency call had to be made on
certain Ohio parties, who responded
without delay. Upon the arrival of
the money the detective lost no
time in making tracks from the city.

River Notes.

The water has fallen eighteen
inches since our report of yesterday,
and is still receding. No fear is
experienced, however, that any
stage in resuming navigation will
have to be discontinued. The rainy
season is near, and the only posi-.
BILE obstacle from now on that it is
necessary to consider, is the usual
mid-winter ice blockade.
The Ruth, T. N. Barnsdall and
all other local boats are out on time.
The Cummins, which should
have passed up at midnight, did
not reach here until late in the
morning.
The new Greenwood is making
her maiden trip between Charles.
ton and Pittsburg today. She had
a large volume of freight aboard
and there was only one stateroom
disengaged. This handsome, sub
stantial looking steamer is owned
principally by Captain Gordon
Green and his wife. The latter is
the only licensed lady pilot on the
upper Ohio.a
The Queen City passed down at
one O'Clock from Pittsburg this af-
ternoon.
The Virginia is due up for Pitts
burg this evening at 7 O'Clock.

reminded that the numbers must be

November if we expect to get the

lished here. The gentleman who
is putting up the numbers says
there are a large number in the
city who have not yet had the
numbers put on. This should be
attended to at once and everyone
who owns house should have the
numbers put up. Itisjust month
now until the system will be es-
tablished and il is to be hoped then
there will be no delay on account of
the matter mentioned.

Gov. Atkinson TO Speak.

This evening at the Olston Opera
House, Gov. G. w. Atkinson will
address all who may come to hear
him. The Republican committee
advertise that this will be the ban.
ner meeting of the campaign in
Sistersville.
The apathy that is shown on
either side over politics this fall is
much remarked. If there is any
enthusiasm it is an under current
and not apparent on the surface.
The people are pursuing their
different voeations unvexed and
undisturbed by affairs of govern
ment.
The Republicans are doing all
the speech-making in this city,
while the Democrats are doing
none. 1t may be however, that the
latter have something up in their
sleeves, or else expect the virtue Of
their cause and personnel of candi-
dates to bring them victory.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.

A few days ago the Sun Oil COM
pany's No. I on the Adds farm in
the northeast extension of the Elk
Fork p o YVES drilled into the p; y
and was reported a big gasser. The
we'll was not drilled deep into the
sand and since that time has been
drilling itself in on account of the
heavy gas pressure. 1t is now
much deeper in the sand than it
was when the gas was struck and
1t is believed that by and by it will
make an oil producer. A gentle
man who came in from the we'll
yesterday evening stated that it
was spraying considerable oil and
some salt water and he believed
that the we'll would make a fair
producer after while. Should this
be the case the territory in that di-
rection will not look so bad after
all.
A we'll in the northeast extension
of the Elk Fork field due in the
sand tomorrow which is attracting
quite good deal Of attention is
that being drilled on the Homer L.
Bowser farm by Nolan & Phillip.
This we'll is located some distance
ahead of developments and in ter
ritory which is generally supposed
to he-sSorthiess. Quite number
OF people have some stuff in that
section and they are anxiouslv
awaiting the advent of this we'll.
The owners of the we'll have had
enough Of bad luck on it to make
most any one feel discouraged and
it may be that as reward for their
patience they will be fortunate
enough to get good producer.
Gaffney & Co. have drilled in
their No. I on the Frink farm,
southeast of this city about six
miles, and will have good big gas
ser. This we'll is located about a
mile from the old Dye Brooks wells
in the direction of Hebron. The
Carter Oil company is drilling at
their No. on the Galloway farm
in the same section.
The intelligence was received in
the city last evening from a reliable
source that the we'll drilled in in
the Jackson Ridge territory on the
Covert farm by Barnsdall & Co.,
which was reported last week to be
good for 200 barrels day and
which report was subsequently con-
tradicted, has been drilled deeper
into the saud and will probably be
good for from $50 to 200 barrels a
day.
The northeast extension of the
Elk Fork field is coming to the
front in good shape and there is a
good deal of new work being start
ed out there. Nearly all the com
panies who have leases in that Sec
ton are drilling out there and there
will be some important wells due in
few days. Following is list of
the wells drilling in that section
and their condition:
The Henry Oil company's No. d
on the Lloyd Gorrell Is due in the
sand today, but up to the time of
going to press nothing had been
heard from it. 1t is located close
to Treat & Crawford's No. on
the Wetzel farm and should be
good producer: Their No. S on
this farm is drilling at 1900 teet
and will be due the early part of
next week. They have made the
locations for three more wells on
this farm, which will be drilled at
once.
