SEVERAL SPEECHES
On Live Topics Delivered in the Sen.
ate Yesterday Expansion Defend

Washington, December 19.-The Sen
ate had busy day and there were sew
eral important speeches. Mr.. Platt, OF
Connecticut, spoke against the Vest
resolution, which declares that the
United States has no power to acquire
territory. He said that the power of
nation to acquire territory was as in
herent as its sovereignty. The United
States had the right to govern such
territory in the best possible manner
until the people of the acquired lands
were capable of self-government. Mr..
Proctor, OF Vermont, and Mr.. Hale, of
Maine, exchanged divergent views upon
the subject of a commission of Senators
to visit Cuba. Mr.. Proctor thought
such a commission was necessary,
while Mr.. Hale said he thought it
would be in extremely bad taste and
useless. The Nicaragua canal was up
during the last part of the day, and
Senators Berry, Allen, Hoar, Caffery
and Morgan discussed the measure.

Yesterday the beginning of the great
Auction Sale at White, Handley &

the talk Of the town. Every article
sold was a great bargain. Folding beds
that retailed at $500 were sold for
$1,000. Book Cases that retailed for
$500 were sold for $3.50. Wardrobes
that retailed for $500 ~were knocked
down for $500, and so on; every ar
ticle was sold at the same low price.
The two big stores We're literally jam
med, both afternoon and evening. This
great sacrifice sale has just commenced
and will continue every afternoon at

until the whole $4,000 stock is dis
posed of.

LAST WORDS
Of a Desperate and Despondent Han.
Killed Himself Because of Misfor-
tunes.

Utica, N. Y, December 19.-When
James H. Read, bookkeeper in one of
the breweries here, opened his mail to-
day, he found the following letter:
Sunday, December IS.
Dear Henry:
When this reaches you I will be a
dead man in a room at the Metropol-
itan Hotel, Fayette street. My son is
sick in bed in New York and my wife
is in absolutely destitute circum-
stances.
AS the last request of an old friend,
for Gods sake send her $40 SO she will
get it Tuesday morning. Her address
is Mary Midlam, 331 West 14th street,
New York. l shall have to be buried
by the authorities, as l have not one
cent. But, Henry. be on hand if you
can and see that | am put away decent
ly. Goodbye, and God bless you.
(Signed) Your friend,
LEROY w. INDIAN.
Mr.. Read stepped to the phone and
inquired of the Metropolitan Hotel if
Mr.. Midlam was a guest there. He was
told that he was and told them to send
at once to his room, break in the door
if necessary, and discover the condition
vi lie OCCuDdul. lIiIili d lew
the answer was received that Midlam
was dead-that he had shot himself.
INDIAN was about 62 years OF age.
He came here from Georgia many
years ago and entered the Office of
Horatio Seymour as clerk. He be-
came popular and was elected city
treasurer. Finally he went to Michi-
gan and engaged in business with
Horatio Seymour, Jr., and was very
successful there for a time. He was a
prominent Democratic politician in
that State, but was appointed post
master at Marquette during Cleveland's
first term. Two years age he engaged
in some unfortunate speculations and
lost his property. The letter to his
friend explains the rest. He wrote a
letter similar to the above to another
friend and one to the authorities. His
last occupation was as travelling sales
man for Parsons & Co., tobacconists,
of New York.

The scenes which attend the dis
covery of precious metals or oil in any
particular section, are now being en-
acted in and about the village of Scio,
not many miles from Steubenville, O.
A gushing oil well was drilled in there,
and the territory is now the Mecca for
spectators, all anxious to secure the
advantage of being first in the field,
in order to lease territory which is
considered good. 1t is said that in
Scio, which is the seat of prominent
institution of learning, the oil men
are outbidding students for accommo-
0ations in the boarding houses of the
town, and that members of the faculty
have caught the contagion, with the
result that the cause of education does
not receive such careful attention as a
few months ago.
A party of Wheeling men who are
interested in a number of oil ventures,
visited the Scio field yesterday, and

was a rank wild cat. 1t was sunk by
a Spectator whose faith in the pres
ence of oil in paying quantities was
probably stronger than his purse. He
used water we'll apparatus, and got a
we'll flowing about two barrels. An
other shrewd Spectator went deeper
and in another sand got a veritable
gusher. From the moment this well
was drilled in dates the sudden popu-
iarity of Scio. The place is now over
run with oil men, and accommodations
are scarce.
There are now thirty wells drilling
The holes which have been put down
have been located on the edge, and
on all sides of a farm Of about zoo
acres, owned by Scott Bros. This ter
ritory is the most promising in the
entire field, and yesterday a deal was
contaminated by which Scott Bros
leased their two hundred acres, secur-
ing a cash bonus of $4,000, and retain
ing their one-eighth royalty on all pro
ductiOn.

A PECULIAR CASUALTY.

Yesterday afternoon rather peculiar
accident, which resulted in the death
of two horses. and might very easily
have caused the loss of two human
lives as well, occurred at the crossing
of the Pan-H Handle railroad at Jewett,
O., short distance west of Steuben-
vile.
Ex-Sheriff Quinn, of Fbrrison
county, and his wife were driving in
a two horse rig, and Mr.. Quinn at
tempted to cross the track just as the
fast passenger train was due. He saw
he could not make it, and pulled his
horses up with sudden jerk just as
the engine swept past at fifty miles
an hour. The animals rebounded from
the sudden check, and it was supposed

Out Yesterday
an Alarm from Main
twelfth Streets.

The department was called out at
six o'clock yesterday morning by an
alarm turned in from box No. "a, at
the corner of Twelfth and Main streets.
The blaze was started in an ash-bin
in the cellar underneath the Office of
the Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany. An ash-chute runs from the
third floor of the building to the bin
in the cellar. A quantity of waste
paper had been deposited with red hot
ashes and when lighted started a blaze
that might have proved disastrous if
it had been permitted to gain sufficient
Roadway. Waterman Dunlap saw the
smoke and broke window, procured
the key hanging inside and unlocked
the door. The fire was smothered be-
fore the firemen arrived.

After going down the front stretch it
was no longer possible to distinguish
colors or numbers. 1t was one OF the
DAYS when all colors looked alike. The
man or woman whose duty it is to
wash out the colors certainly earned
his money last night.
In the betting ring it was comfort
able, as usual There was only one
book on, but the betting was lively
enough. The knowing ones picked out
the mud horses, but the fayorites were
beaten in two races. The Paris mu-
tuals were opened and will probably
be continued. This is the most honest
betting scheme which has been in
vented, and for that reason is popular
with many who prefer buying mutual
tickets to accepting bookmakers' odds.
The time was slow but the racing
was interesting In the first Fox Chase
was the favorite, but failed to show.
1t was won by Harry c. Francis M.

race was won on the home stretch by

out for place by Worry Not in a nice
burst of speed.

Coroner ]. w. Schultze last evening
held an inquest over the remains of
Thomas ]. Kahn, who was accidentally
killed yesterday afternoon at the
'Pewiky" switch in the yards of the
North Wheeling glass works.
Kahn was employed as laborer at
the glass works. Yesterday afternoon
he and another employee named Andrew
Haberfeld were engaged in hauling
sand from the yards to the glass house.
About half-past four o'clock August
RAIDER, shipping clerk at the glass
works, looked out Of a freight car and
saw the body of Kahn lying alongside
be dead, and his body was carried to
the North Wheeling hospital. A
physician was called and immediate
ly pronounced the man dead. The ply
stefan discovered that Kain's neck had
been broken.
At the inquest last night Haberfield,
who worked with Kahn, stated that
after loading the wagon he had started
the horses, and Kahn was standing in
tn ewagon. 1t is supposed that in
making a sudden turn Kahn was
thrown out by the lurch of the wagon
and fell under the wheels. He made
no cutlery and death must have been
the wagon. 1t is supposed that in
wheels had passed over Kain's neck
instantaneous. The marks where the
gave a verdict of accidental death.
Kahn was single, twenty-three years OF
age, and lived at No. 413 Coal street.
