SALOON BRAWL.
Henry Murray Shot by Yancey Williams
 Last Night.

Henry Murray. a negro, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Yancey Will Hams last night in Wyatt's saloon, corner Thirteenth street and Fourth avenue. The shooting was the result of a general bar room brawl, and those present say that when Williams fired the shot he was att tackled by three men, one of whom had long knife drawn. So far none of the men have been arrested, but they are all well known to the police and will probably be caught this morning Those engaged in the row are Henry Murray, Yaneey Will Hams, Toney Murray and negro known as Happy"
 One of the Murrays got into a quarrel with Williams early in the night and the bad feeling finally merged into a fight. Happy joined the two Murray boys, &C., eording to the witnesses, and they went in to annihilate Yancey One of them drew a knife and started toward the negro, who had by this time backed up in the corner At this juncture Yancey drew a revolver and fired one shot at Henry Murray. The bill struck the shoulder and going through the arm lodged in the left side.
 Dr. Brown, the negro physician, was sent for and attended the wounded man.

the nation of Germany, which has since proved one of the most learned and pow erful races of people in the world. The second great event was on October 6, 1883, when forty-six German families under the leadership of Pastorius, established the first German settlement in the United States and founded the town of German town in Pennsylvania. The celebration was first inaugurated in the days of ''Nonothingism," when party of Ameri- cans formed an organization for the pur- pose of preventing foreigners from having any prominence whatever in American af- fairs.
 The Germans then formed themselves in- to fraternal union for the purpose of bet tering their own condition and to lend a helping hand to the support of the United States government. Since then German Day has been an annual celebration, and the race has prospered and grown until it is one of the most stable supports to American institutions.

0epew Says Hanna Will Be the
Guiding Spirit in 1900,

Cleveland, o., May BIN an inter-
view here today Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew said that he favored the con-
tinuance of Senator NJ. A. Hanna as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
MAN the election of 1896 Mr.. Hanna
showed skill in conducting the affairs
of the Republican party that has never
been surpassed in the history of che
party" said Mr.. Depew. 1T is the pol
icy of the Republican party never to
get rid of a good leader until 1t has
found better one"
Speaking of the campaign of 1900,
Senator Depew said the Republican
party would have no opposition.
Bryan has the New York Democrats
out of the party and they will not
again get together" he said.
What will be the Republican issue
in 1902" was asked.
The platform will reassert every
thing 1t has ever said. and the party
will declare in favor OF expansion"
How about trusts?"
Undoubtedly the Republican party
will adopt plank condemning trusts,
and l also think the Democrat party
will adopt a similar plank. The Re
publicans will re affirm their declara-
tion for the gold standard, and there
is no doubt the Democrats will agin
take up silver"

Family Insecurity.

The Sloane divorce case and the
hasty wedding following close on the
baked meats of the separation have
called forth storm of criticism from
the lovers of law and propriety.
The principal part of the entire af-
fair which has called for such bitter
adverse comment was THE secrecy of
the legal proceedings. So quietly was
the divorce secured that the referee,
who had the case in charge, is not
known even by name. The whole mat
ter is shrouded in secrecy and largely
because the man who afterwards fig
ured as the groom is a power in the
coterie of politicians in whose hands
are the courts and official machinery
of the whole city. He was an offender,
but the shamefulness of his offense
was concealed.
Then there is criticism for the de-
fendant in the divorce, who, though
expressly forbidden by the court from
remarrying, went to Connecticut and
within few hours set the order of the
court at defiance and married the man
who was responsible for all the ugli-
ness of scandal. The defiance of the
court has called forth the following
denunciation from Mr.. Won Briesen,
President of the Legal Aid Society
He says:
The prominent notice which has
been given to this matter is liable TO
have most deplorable effects, for fthe
masses are apt to follow their leaders
in matters such as these as they fol-
low them in other respects. The prin-
clpal difficulty which has been met
with in our administration has been
the growing tendency of the masses TO
give less and less regard to Judicial
determination. If, therefore, these
VINO are looked upon as leaders of so
ciety, leaders in politics, leaders in bus
iness affairs, defy the mandates Of our
courts in SO fragrant and indecent
manner, the result will be that others
will do likewise, and that the founda-
tion of the State-the family-wll
cease to be secure.
A correction OF the evils of divorce
will come sooner or later, II not by
NatiOnaI law, then by the churches.
The desire to marry another is at the
bottom of nine-tenths of the marital
troubles with which the courts are
filed When 1t is understood THAT the
defendant, or the Oned ivorced, can not
marry again, either in one state or an
other, there wlh be distinct change
for the ter-COmmerclal Tribune.

GtNMSs's Folly Regrettsd,

, " -. y
In administration circles there is a
regret because of the publicity that has
been given to Edward Atkinson and
his seditious literature, although it is
insisted that public duty required the
action taken. If Atkinson and his fell
lows make no further trouble, the
Government will be inclined to let
them alone Nothing would please the
Boston antiIimperialist more than to
have the advertising that would result
from prosecution, and it Is not the pur-
pose of the administration TO give
them that wished-for opportunity,
There is not the slightest doubt, in
administration circles, that the liter
ature which Atkinson attempted to
distribute among bhe troops of the
Philippines really comes under the
jurisdiction of the courts, Attorney
General Griggs having expressed that
opinion yesterday after careful in
vestigatlon of the statutes, but it is a
difficult matter to prove sedition in
any case It would be especially diff
ficun where, as in the present instance,
the accused would pose as a martyr,
and would be sustained by lot of
demagogues who would expect to
make political capital.
All that was intended by the ad-
ministration has been accomplished
by the publication of the story and the
stoppage of matter on the foreign
mails. There it will be dropped, if
the Boston anti-imperialists do not
make themselves obnoxious in future.

show oil, it was shut down to move
back the boiler and make tankage con-
nections. The Ann Oil Co. is drilling
its we'll on the Cronin farm to Uhe Big
Injun. This well was drilled into the
Maxson sand and made "a good show
ing two weeks ago. 1t is still produc-
ing 15 barrels day from that forma-
tlon, but something better is expected

RIN-.RDS ILLS OIL NEWS.
Oil prospects are growing brighter
every day. Every well that has been
drilled in for quite while has been a
good well and the majority of them
lave been very fine ones. We believe
that during the next year a large por-
tion Of Washington township will be
developed, as bhere seems to be oil al
most anywhere, On account OF the
bad roads this spring the field is just
now under the usual amount of opera
lions. but rigs are being gotten out and
constructed and material hauled, and
everything points to "a great boom in
the near future,

the production of the wells here. ]. f.
Boggs & Co.'S No. on the English
lease came in over 300 barrel pro-
ducer. The well is also the strongest
gasser that has been struck for some
time. Most of the gas was found in
the Maxon sand, but increased when
they reached the Injun. This makes
five good producers on the English
lease and there are three more loca-
tions and room for plenty of others.
1t Is said that the wells on the English
lease are making the company $500
per day.

This company owns leases on 500 or
600 acres of land that they expect TO

About 35 men are engaged in bury

er house erected on the English lease
for the purpose of attending to the
wells already drilled in. 1t will con-
tain three boilers. They will also

JACKSON RIDGE OIL NOTES.

Barnsdall has torn down the rig at
w. T. Jackson No. 3. It blew down
and uroke to pieces before the well
was drilled in. When the well was
drilled It proved to be good gasser,
and after tubing the we'll and turning
it into the gas line they thought 1t
best to tear 1t down and not let it
blow down again. 1t is claimed that
No. is the best gaSser on this farm.
Barnsdall No. on the Covert farm
came in very light. 1t was pronounced
dry, but we think 1t will make little
oil. Some think d. S. Devore No. /
that was considered worthless would
have made much more oil than s. N.
Covert No. 8. This well is so situated
that 1t hurts nobody except the farmer
and the company, as 1t Is entirely sur
roundeu by good wells.

ID SC .O's LIMITS DEFINED.

PlUtsburg, May 2.4South of Sclo one
and one-half miles the Linden Oil Co.
formerly reported the Sun Oil Co., has
drilled in its we'll on the William
Whitaker farm and has heavy dose
OF sllt water and a light show of oil.
Its status as an oil producer is in doubt
and 1t is quite probable that it will not
make a profitable producer. The show
ing made by this we'll confirms the
previously expressed opinion as to
what could be expected of it. The well
on The T. Whitaker farm between 1t
and the main development, is a light
producer, and had the William Whit
taker farm wela been duster, 1t would
have caused no surprise.
There is no longer any chance for an
extension of the pool in any direction.
The well on the William Whitaker
farm marks the extreme southern
limits of the pool and to drill In si-
vance OF that line would simply be go
ing up against the rankest kind OF a
dustsr. There have been no breaks"
in the formation at selo. Once the
wells start out Hight at the outer edges,
the end Is not far distant. The de-
