FAYETTE County Pa, is as bad as
any county in this state which has
been held up so long in the city papers
as one filed with lawlessness and
crime The recent man hunt in Fay
cite was an awful thing. That the
murderer escaped being hanged by a
mob was not due to any merciful feel
ing in the breasts of the people who
ran him to earth. They will have to
quit talking about this state being
lawless until they have forgotten the
occurrences at Mount Braddock.

GETTING RID OF ARMY MULES.

The government is running another mule
sale at the corrals east Of the city. The
animals were the last cargo brought by
the transport Crook. The sale has been
extensively advertised, and buyers are
here from almost every state in the
South. The mules vary in size and value
and are selected by purchasers in accord
ance with their fitness for different kinds
of work. Many were bought by stock
dealers, who will doubtless realize good
profits in disposing of them The animals
are in good condition, and, so far, have
brought an average price of $S5. Six hun
dred and nine mules and forty-six wagons
have been disposed of so far.
As the original number of mules was
only 500, il is expected that the remainder
of the lot will be disposed of to-day. The

THE OIL SITUATION MIXED.
QUESTION WHETHER ANY OIL HAS
BEEN SEIZED IN SAVANNAH.

Special Agent Player of the standard
seems to Labor Under the Impress
sion That There Has Not Been-He
Does Not Admit That the Company
Has Any oil That Needs bringing
Up to Standnrd-InspectOr ScreVen
Says That the Company Has Been
Given Permission to Bring the Two
Tanks Seized By Him In TO the Re-
quired TeSt-Standnrd Oil Company
May Intend Making n Fight on the
New Method of Testing OIL.
The oil situation appears to be rather
mixed. Col John Screven. inspector Of oils
at Savannah, when asked what disposition
had been made of the two tanks of oil at
the Standard on Companys yard which
were seized some time ago for failure TO
come up to the required test by the new
method, said that the tanks had been I'M
locked for the purpose Of allowing the
company TO bring the oil contained In them
10 to the required standard.
Mr.. Z. $. Player, special agent of the
Standard OH Company at Savannah, when
seen yesterday, declined to give any infor-
nation on the subject. Mr.. Payer would
not admit that the company had any oil
in its possession which required bringing
up to standard, aud said that he was not
aware of any OF the compary's tanks hav-
Ing been locked by the inspector, notwith-
standing Col. Screvens statement to this
effect made both in Savannah and Attain
ia. Mr.. Player firmly but pleasantly de-
cGned to explain himself on these points
or to give any Information as to the oil
situation.
we are still doing business at the Old
stand and have plenty of frst-class oil to
furnish the public" he sad Otherwise |
have no Information to give on the SUBJ
iect"
MIR Player and Col. Screven must place
a different meaning on the words Seized
and locked" Shortly before the seizure
was officially reported from Atlanta and
after it had actually been made Mr.. Play
er was seen and asked about a report 10
the effect that some of the company oils
had been seized in Savannah. He stated
then that no oil belonging to the Standard
had been seized or tanks locked. at Sa-
vanuah. He seems to hold to this opinion
still. As just stated, it must be that Col.
Screven and MIR. Player place different
constructions upon the meanings of the
words locked and seized"
There is a belief current in some circles
that the Standard will oppose the new
test introduced by the commissioner of ag-
ricuture, on lhe ground that it is not
provided for by law and that the com
panies cannot be required 10 comply with
it. 1t was predicted after the recent con-
ference in Atlanta between Commissioned
Stevens and the inspectors that there

against the new method of testing oils,
aud is not unlikely that something of the
kind is brewing.

complete, have been ordered and are ex-
pected to be in the hands of the inspectors
