Oil Notes.

In the Campbells run development
in Monongalia county the South Penn
Oil Company's No. on the Isaac
Campbell farm made Is barrels the
first "a hours from the first pay and is
still drilling.
In the Former pool recent discover
les promise to be more fruitful in find
ing an extension than past efforts.
During the past year the operations to
the east have resulted in Barnsdall &
Ross getting four producing wells on
the Tim and John Ross farms. and the
South Penn's two producers on the
Enoch Brooks farm. The last and
most important discovery was made
by the Waynesburg Company and is
located on the Samuel Cary farm more
than a mile east of the old Fonner.
This strike is now several weeks old
and is still making ITO barrels a day.
Leaseholders in that vicinity have not
been slow to take advantage of the
information secured by the drilling in
of this we'll. The development Of the
two extensions will occupy attention
well into the summer. 1t requires
about two months to complete a well
in the Former district.

Revival Notes.

"A large congregation crowded the
lecture room of the NJ. E. Church, last
night. 1t was the fourtheenth SER
vice at which the pastor has preached
within ten days. He spoke last even
ing on THE Story of Zackeus'' Ia the
10th chapter of Luke, from the words
of Jesus: "This day is Salvation come
to this house. He described Jericho
where Zackeus lived. This is one OF
the remarkable conversions pictured
in the New Testament. He was a
rich Hebrew who purchased The tax
rolls OF Jerico from the Roman govern
ment, and then personally adjusted
the tax rates and revenue tariffs. But
many rich men like Abraham, Boaz,
Job and David have been good men.
Curiosity led him To climb a tree. as a
man of small stature. To see the ia
nous Christ pass through the city on
his way to raise Lazarus. Curiosity
eliminated in his conversion as it did
in wonderful instances when Jacob
Knapp held his marvellous revival at
Pen Yam, N. Y. Zaekeus was not too
small to find Christ. Many of the
worlds great men, like Napoleon,
Douglass and others have been small,
great body aud massive head do not
infallibly index brains. Little Tom
Thumb and Minnie Warren were
dwarfs, but Christians. If man
wants to tind Christ he will surmount
tremendous distractions. Christ babe
him do three things. Make haste, =
'come down and entertain Him.
Promptness of obedience, profound
humility and royal welcome TO
Jesus are to-day essential to personal
salvation. Iacheus received Christ
"joyfully." We should gladly espouse
His service and give Him our supreme
love. He promptly divided his wealth
with the poor and gave back to mer.
chants and others four times the
amounts he had dishonesty taken for
taxes. Restitution is vital to true
penitence. As he repented and ac-
cepted Jesus, Christ TRANSPORTED him
into charitable, happy and honest
city treasurer, and said aThis day is
salvation come to this house," Then
he announced His divine errand to
eartn "to seek and TO save that which
was lost" Immense results pivot on
little things. The curiosity of Zach
Gus was a benedietion to the town
and was crowned with his salvation.
A loan from an actor kept Bonaparte
from suicide in early life and changed
the history of nations. sZacheus en-
embraced his first and last opportu-
nifty. On the wall Of the temple at
Delphi blazed the words Know thy
opportunity" To us will come as
to Mary Brighton on the wreck, the
last visit OF the lifeboat of mercy on
the sea Of Time. 1t may come to-
night. Let us not postpone for an
hour the acceptance OF Christ's present
salvation.

WASHINGTON, w. ", Jan. 10. =
William Davis, a well-to-do farmer,
aged % years, living on Little Binga-
mon creek, about three miles south of
here, hanged himself in the barn
located near his house early Tuesday
evening. The young man has been
an Invalid for several years and for
the past few months his mind has
been failing. The cause assigned for
this rash act is that he grew despond-
ent over the death of his father,
which occurred last Sunday from
heart failure. The coroner's inquest
will be held this afternoon.

DISPLAY OF CHILDSHNESS.
Governor and Senate Refuse to
Recognize the House.

Mere Matter OF Courtesy That Counts
for Nothing-If Senate Persists in
Its Course. Everything will be
Blocked Republicans Over.step
Themselves In the Taylor County
COntest--C Committee will go to Graf
ton.-Case cannot be Finished Before
the Day Set for senatorial Ballot.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 10
Another day has passed, and the
Legislature IS not yet down to the
consideration of actual business.
The delay must be charged up
against the Republicans.
Dilatory tactics by the minority
in the House has prevented speedy
determination Of the contest cases,
while the Senate has adjourned from
day to day. and will probably con-
tinue to do so pending the seating
Of delegates from Taylor and Mon
roe counties.
The Senate and the Governor have
persistently refused to recognize the
House What part this discourtesy
will play in the programme which
White and Dawson have mapped out,
is matter of conjecture.
Senator Fast, of Monongalia, does
not acquiesce in the White-Dawson
revolutionary programme, and other
Republican members are of like
opinion, but all are reticent about
expressing themselves. Senator Fast
says he appreciates the fact that the
Democrats have the whip hand, and
he will not vote to unseat Demo
cratic Senator without sufficient
cause. While Senator Whitaker has
not expressed himself, he is under
stood to endorse the views of Sena-
tor Fast.
The Republicans are determined
to elect a United States Senator
without the votes of Pierson and
Getzendanner. They are blocking
legislation and will continue to do
so until decision is reached in the
Taylor county case.
The Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections met again to day
and promptly adjourned, the MAORI
ty stating chat they were not ready
to go into the merits of the Kidd,
Marcum and Ashby cases.
The House committee also met
and the Republican members de-
manded that the committee go to
Grafton and when the majority side
agreed, they were taken by surprise.
The taking of evidence will prolong
the Taylor county fight, so that it
will hardly be determined by next
Tuesday, when the balloting for
United States Senator commences.
Brohard was represented by At
torneys McClintic and Robinson.
Judge Campbell and and ex Senator
Rankin Wiley appeared for Dent.
Mr.. Robinson, who is prosecuting
attorney of Taylor county, made
some sensational charges and de
mands. He proposed to present in
certain precincts affidavits of Repub-
lican voters in order to show that
the ballots were tempered with be-
fore the recount. His exposition of
his scheme was listened to attentive
ly, and the committee decided that
questions as to the admissibility of
certain evidence will be determined
upon when the evidence is offered.

What the Washington ssReporter" says
OF Miss McMillan's Reading.

.'Over a thousand persons listened
entranced to the recital given by Miss
Mcmillan Friday evening, and the
universal verdict was that it was
among the most chaste and delight
full ever given here. Miss Mcmillan
is charming young woman Of gra-
cious presence and decided dramatic
talent. She captivated her audience
when she first appeared upon the
platform and after her first selection
was greeted with storms of applause. ;"

River appropriations not to be SO
large as Expected.

Congress will refuse te give all that Is
asked-The state OF the dams is diff
ferent from what they thought they
were-Sums will be expended grad
ually-News of great moment to pe0-
pie interested In the river improve
ments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I9.--If inter-
ested river men and Others have ex-
pected the river improvement appro-
priation will be inserted In the river
and harbor bill to the extent of even
large percentage of the amount OF
the estimates of the engineers in
charge, they are surely doomed to
disappointment.
The estimates of Major Powell for
the Monongahela alone amount to
81, $50, 799; for Pittsburg harbor, to
clear distractions and remove bars,
$4,000, with $40, 900 year for pro-
lection and maintenance.
The truth Is, many members Of
Congress have come to look upon the
upward OF "a, 900, 900 expended on the
Monongahela as money partly thrown
away, in the light of the reports OF
engineers, which are to the effect that
the plant Is practically worthless and
that all Of the old locks and dams
will have TO be rebuilt. They are,
therefore, disposed to go slow In maxi
E ing appropriations, and II the engi-
neers' estimate for lock NO. of 1851
s44 goes into the bill, it may possibly
be the sum of the Monongahela appro-
priation for this year.
For No. the estimate Is $245, 06S,
and repairs to No. $97, 956 Mis-
cellaneous items for dredging, patrol
boats and the like, aggregate $500, ego;
but there are few things which are of
urgent necessity, while no one is dis
posed to let the locks and dams go to
ruin. It is evident from the temper
OF the committee, though interested
members of Congress are doing ali
they can to convince them otherwise,
tha6 the enormous aggregate will be
expended only gradually.
