How South Front Street Looked.

The following description of the recent
snow fall is from letter written by an
Island young lady to a southern friend:
The fall of snow made South Front
street beautiful to behold. 1t was not one
of those LITTLE. stingy snow storms, but
one profuse and bountiful that in a
few hours everything was wrapped in a
mantle of white. The many homes along
the way were almost hidden by the intrf-
cate lacing of snowy branches.
THE air was filled with dancing, whirl-
ing myriads of glittering petals-a floral
tribute from the Boreal King from his I'M
known regions in the sky to the dying
year-covering its passing with immor-
telles of supernal beauty
1.-THE long rows of shade trees on each
side of the street, and the pine and maple
and shrubbery stood like mystic priests
of fairyland. with extended arms gather
ing the floating blossoms as they fell
After the snow had ceased falling the
view along the street was like a dream
from fairyland, a scene from some deli
cious realm of enchantment. The long
vista died away in a multiplicity of opal
escent vibrations-in a blurred confusion
as of the radiance on millions of diamonds
in settings of silver.
TT was sight for one who has the poet
or the artist in his soul 1t was such a
scene as was never painted-that cannot
be described-that can only be felt. that
raises to the highest pitch, that emotion,
produced by the beautiful while in its
most sublime and majestic moods.
Then the transformation at night! AS
the bells peaed, the whistles screamed,
and the living world shouted its welcome
to the dawning year-a multitude of
crimson lights burst into flame along the
street
with lightning quickness a radiant
blush reflected from the Wilderness every
where. From gable from lawn, from
branch and bush glittered an iridescence
of color like the coruscations of countless
multi-colored gems-a flashing as of mill
lions of rubies and sapphires. 1t was
grand. 1t was magnificent. I tell you,
Lucetta, it was too cute for anythingi'

EAST END ACCIDENT
a Marrow Escape Of an Aged Lady
from Serious Injury Yesterday
Morning.

Yesterday morning about II O'Clock,
as Mrs. Padden, an aged widow,
was crossing Sixteenth street, at the
intersection Of Wood, she came III
contact with a team or horses attached
to one of the delivery wagons Of Spell
del's soft drink establishment, and was
Knocked down, alighting nearly paral-
lei between the two horses. That she
was not trampled by the animals was
cue to the immediate action of the
driver, who guyed the horses in oppo-
site directions, but did not succeed in
bringing them to a standstill until Mrs.
Padden lay between the rear wheels.
Officer Homes was nearby, and with
the assistance Of the driver removed
the lady from her precariOus position.
1t was found that she had sustained
only a slight bTuise above the right
side of the forehead and few bruises
On her right arm, which were inflicted
by striking the ground, and in addition
to bad scare was otherwise unin-
iured. Shortly afterward she was able

1S8 Sixteenth street, with the aid of

escaped serious injury is truly remark
able, and that she failed to notice the
wagon approaching was due to the
drifting snow, which caused her to
close her eyes as she was crossing the
street The driver Of the wagon was
not afforded sufficient time in which to
prevent the accident, as the lady
emerged suddenly from behind a tree
box.

VERY QUIET WEEK IN OIL.
There Were Very Few Wells Of In
portance Drilled In.

Centreviile Attracted the Most
Attention-A Good Well and a
Dry Hole Drilled in There he
Latest News rom All the Fields.
The past week in oil circles in this
State has been a very quiet one and
there is very little TO review. The only
territory that attracted anything like
attention was that in vicinity OF Cen
treville, where the South Penn Oil Com
pany drilled in its No. 2 cn the Mere
dith lease and got producer for about
300 barrels a day. There were several
wells due there but only two OF them
were drilled in The one mentioned
above and that of the Carter Oil Com
pany, which was dry hole. The VIC
tor OIL & Gas Company had well due
out in that section yesterday, but no re-
port had been received from it and 1t
probably has been delayed for some
reason.
Out in the Elk Fork field the Henry
Oil Company completed their No. on
the W. w. Gorreil lease, and it started
Off at 1G barrels an hour, which salt 1t
has been keeping UP since. This well
is located only short distance from the
Folger well, and 1t was not expected TO
be much Of well. This company has
made arrangements to build several
more rigs on this lease and as soon as
they can be completed the wells will be
started drilling.
The Hill Oil Company, which had a
bad fishing job at their No. on the j.
X. Hill 100-acre lease, have been com
PEELED to move the rig on account OF the
hoie being plugged and will start a new
hole at once. The same company have
succeeded in getting the lost bit out OF
their No. 8 On the same tract and their
No. II offsetting Fishers No. Hen
thorn, which was drilled in some time
ago, Will be in the early part Of the
week The Henthorn we'll is Still hold
ing up at better than 300 barrels.
The cold. weather of the pas. few days
has made the reads much better than
they were and if it will only last for
short time they will be in first-clsss
condition. During the last couple of
weeks it has been very expensive get
ting material out into the field. AS an
instance a contractor said yesterday
that it cost him SIS to get a boiler to
the Elk Fork field, and that considering
the condition Of the roads at that time
he did not think it was too much.
There IS practically nothing being
done in the territory ON the Ohio side
Of the river, and the indications are
that there will not be a great deal done
for short time.
In the Elk Fork field there will be
some interesting developments during
the coming week. Thre are a number
of wells drilling cut front AMI some ;f
them should reach the pay in very
short time.

Chicago wanted Chic Fraser. but Cleve-
land landed him.
Pittsburg has a new left-handed pitcher
named kennedy, local amateur.
Phillips and Foreman appear to be alter
mating in the box with their usual success.
The fans are watching the scoreboards
intently every afternoon. Thus far the re-
turns have been satisfactory.
If Columbus will take Manning's men
down the line this afternoon all will be
well, no matter how things go at st. Paul.
Three straight from Minneapolis is fine
record, considering the crippled condition
of the team. 1t is to be hoped Motz will be
back in the game for the rest of the trip.
A Minneapolis paper explains the loss of
games by ST. Paul by saying that three of
the players were arrested at o'clock In
paid fines in Police Court the next morn
ing.
The indianapolis team will begin its Sc
ries at st. Paul to-day. If the Saints are
to the champions. the pennant is toerably
sure to stay in Indianapolis. The Blues
have tough proposition for the next three
to lose game or two
Wolverton called ON President Hart of
the Chicago club when the Columbus play
ers passed through the Windy City on their
way to st. Joe, and the third baseman will
doubtless join the Orphans at the close of
the Western League season. At the rate
Conner is playing ball there is little chance
order to make room for Wolverton.
Indianapolis could have had Taylor, the
Grand Rapids third baseman, just pur-
chased by Louisville. but too much money
was asked for him. An offer was made, but
Louisville agreed to take both Taylor and
Hartzell at $500 each and return the men
to Grand Rapids if they prove too slow for
the big league. Taylor is a strong hitter
and the best third baseman in the Inter
state League. About the time Grand Rap
ids refused the Indianapolis offer Hickey
DnRnOmf
was allowed to fall through.
If Connaughton remains out of the game
the balance of the season it may make
quite difference to the Blues. When the
salary limit of S200 a month was adopted,
Connaughton held out longer than any OF
the Western Leaguers, and now he claims
that bonus was promised him If he signed
for the limit. Taking advantage of the
fact that Manning is after the bunting, and
needs every game to make it sure, the
shortstop has made demand which was
rot complied with, and as the result he will
forfeit tire remainder of his salary and have
his name on the suspended list unless he
changes his mind pretty quickly.

by a length and half from Ethelbert and

order. During the race St. Lorenzo, with

is feared that the jockey was badly in

CHAMPIONS WIN AGAIN.
Phillips Wins Over Parker, Though
Hit Much Harder.

Hit Much Harder.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 1O.-Minne-
apols presented Indianapolis with another
game to-day. The Millers should have won
with runs to spare as Parker was pitching
a much better game than Phillips, who
pitched Thursday and won and was put in
to-day to 'cnch'' the last game. He
pitched good ball, but did not deserve to
win. Mcfarland distinguished himself by
twice putting the ball over the right-field
fence for as many home runs once in the
first inning and once in the eighth. The
other two hits were singles and both of
them scratches.
The first run scored by the visitors came
in the first and was made on McFarlands
big hit. IN the fifth Allen walked was
forced out at second by Hickey, who got
a life, stole second, reached third on Phil
lips's out to Letcher, and came home on
Hogriever's single ''4oggie" attempted to
steal, and Fisher threw high; the ball rolled
into center field, where Letcher let it go
through his hands, and "Hoggie" scored.
In the seventh Letcher muffed Flynn's fly,
and Aliens single brought in the fourth
run. McFarland's home run in the eighth
was the last for the champions. Carey's
single, Letcher's sacrifice and Reilly's sin
gle scored Carey in the second In the third
Davis singled and was forced out by An
drews, who went out at third when Fisher
hit for two bases. Burke singled, Hickey
fumbled Carey's grounder and Fisher came
home Letcher hit for two bases and Burke
and Carey scored the last run for the
MillerS The score.
