missioners of the need of such place
and have them act accordingly.
AT ECIO.


The exodus of the native population
Of Scio continues daily in an unaDated
manner. Almost every resident OF the
town who can are selling their property
and moving away. For sale and Tor
rent cards are noticeable on many resi-
dences through the town owned by
persons who are anxious to get away
before the warm weather sets IN. When
they fear the entire town will be Wlped
out by fire. Since the field has been
opened UP no less than ten connagra-
tons have occurred. The weather gen
orally through the winter has been OF
such nature as to keep these tires from
spreading. The claim is made that as
soon as hot weather sets IN, that OIL
well derricks and frame dwellings, Will
become so parched and dry that should
a fire originate at one we'll in the town,
and a large part of them are drilled III
the rear of lots On which dwellings,
stand, nothing can keep it from lsnltlng
a well on the next lot or the house, and
thus keep on until the entire town Is
wiped out by flames. Of course, at the
present stage such a thing is only sup
position on the part of the residents
of the place, but their theory IS by no
means improbable. Consequently these
who can are selling their homes, not
on this account alone, but because OF
the general conditions that characterize
an oil field newly opened.

FOR TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE.

John Hukiil is the candidate that
every good, thoughtful voter OF the
town should vote for at the election to-
morrow. Mr.. Hukill has for many years
been resident of the town, and is
generally known as a business man OF a
careful nature in every respect. True,
he is a Democrat bss-what has that to
do with a city election, where it should
be the aim of every voter to put in
the man that will make the best Official
irrespective of party. Not only that;
Martins Ferry precinct already has
one trustee, and it is no more than
proper that there should be one in the
town who can be found any time dur
ing the day; in the town, where he IS
needed to a far greater extent than in
the country back of town. Surely they
do not have so many cases OF destltu-
ton to look after in the precincts as in
the towns as to need two trustees, and
if every voter supports Mr.. Hukill, as
they should, we will have one trustee in
the town.

REFUSED TO GIVE Up SEATS,
Nelson f. Wethcrless on Trial in
Police Court.

Nelson E Weatherless a teacher in the
co1ored High School, was today arraiened
before Judge kimball on the charge of dis
orderly conduct al the Grand Opera House
Saturday, Weatherless was defended by
Mr.. Samuel c. Mills and Mr.. w. Calvin
Chase. The prosecution claimed that
in the theater to which he was not entitled
Weatherless took possession of three seats
and which had been sold to other parties.
Mr.. p. b. Chase, one of the managers of
the Grand Opera House said word was
brought to him that three ladies, who had
purchased reserved seats, were deprived of
them by Weatherless. He went to see
Weatherless and asked him to vacate the
seats in question show the coupons for
them. He refused to do either, and the wit
ness demanded the surrender of the seats.
WeatherIess again declined to comply with
the request and Mr.. Chase sent for an Of
tCer and had Weatherless elected from the
theater.
The defense admitted that Weatherless
had no right to the three seats in the pos
session of Weatheress and his party, but
asserted 1t was because the ushers had
neglected to show Weatherless the seats
to which he was entitled. They also claimed
that the reason that Weatherless was
elected was because Of his color. and not
that he was encroaching on the rights of
others.
Mr. John P Green. United States stamp
agent, testified to the good character of
Weatherless. and said he was not only
elected from the seats, but was rudely put
out of the room.
At this point court took a recess until
/ pm.
Upon reassembling this afternoon. Special
Assistant Attorney Pugh called the atten-
ton OF Judge kimball to the fact that
there was still number of prisoners in the
dock who had not been tried, and said that
fairness to them and the officers who made
the arrest demanded that these cases be
disposed of before the Weatherless matter
be again taken up.
Judge kimball consented to this, and it
was understood the hearing Of the latter
would be continued until such time as may
be convenient to all parties directly inter-
eSted.

RUSSIA VERSUS ENGLAND.
STARTLING srATEMENrs MADE


New York, Dec. 30.--4A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The announcement Of the Berlin Lokai
.Anzeiger that under the secret stipula.
tions Of the treaty, Germany viii take Por.
tngal's Asiatie colonies and the territory
north Of Zambesi, and that England viii
take Deiagoa bay, 10 the most startling
news Of the day. The authority Is not Of.
fetal, and the statement Of the concerted
action Of the two powers against French
and Russian occupation must be accepted
with reserye until the foreign Office con-
firms H. The alleged payment Of $4,000
GO marks for Gennany's share In this
territorial trade also seems doubtful. Some
disclosure Of this Kind has been expected
in diplomatic circles for several weeks,
since the necessity for shutting of the
supplies Of arms and ammunition for the
Transvaal has become apparent with the
prolongstion Of the war.
While the Russian press forecasts the
occupation Of Herat as the first eonse-
quenee of their occupation Of DelsgOA bay,
the French journals are curious to know
what the Washington government will do
regarding the seizure Of American vessels
by the British navy. Whatever the action
may be. the reports that Mr.. Choate has
interVened in the matter are premature
and unfounded.
The British prize courts will, without
doubt, be allowed to do their work precise.
~ as the American prize courts operated
during the war with spain. The questions
of eOntraband Of war and neutral rights
will be argued in due course. Russian and
Fnneh rumors that all neutral powers
~ill intervene IL England takes effective
measures for closing the back door against
the entrance Of cOntraband Of war into the
Transvaal are colored By the general be
lief that there u q secret agreement With
Germany relating 70 any emergency which
may arise on the east coast.
