Friday mornings Register noted the
granting OF a charter by the Secretary
of State at Charleston to the Wheeling
Oil and Gas Company, with an author-
lied capital stock of 100000, the in
corporators being Messrs. A. f. Gas
mire, V. j. McCullocb, Louis Husema-1,
X. A. Bader, A. A. Franzheim, W. H.
Curtis and r. b. Wyatt. This charter
was received yesterday, ard The incor-
porators will hold a meeting as soon
as possible and complete the organiza-
ton by the election of Board of Di-
rcctors and officers. The Company has
secured a very large tract of eligible
land in Ohio and Marshall counties,
and have already made a contract for
the speedy delivery on the site OF the
first well of the latest drilling machin-
cry. This machinery, differing radio
ally from that usually seen in sur
rounding Oil fields, will be built by the
F. G. Austin Manufacturing Company,
of Chicago. The 100 h. p. boiler will
be mounted on broad tread wheeled
steel truck one hundred feet back from
the drilling rig, the machinery of
which is also on a steel truck, this car
rying the engine, walking beam, and
all appliances, working under a sixty
two foot derrick The machinery will
be shipped for Wheeling Monday week,
and will be placed in position at once,
at the site of the first WELL which is
expected to be on Middle Wheeling
creek, not far east of Triadelphia town
and within sight of the Pittsburg divis-
ion Of the Baltimore and Ohio road.
AS stated, the Company have very
large block of territory which will be
added to. Those at the head of the
management believe they have splen-
did gas territory, with good prospects
for oil. An anticlinal runs through
their property, with cross clinal also,
and a most careful examination has
been made with the result that the
"ear-marks" are pronounced all right
by experts.
The developments of this Company
will be watched with the greatest in
terest by many people, and a successful
strike will materially assist in making
Wheeling great oil town, good as her
position in this regard already is, she
being surrounded, almost, by producing
fields.

gauger in the employ of the South Penn
by some strategy, reached the tanks at
the Camden well this afternoon, when
he was detected taking the gauge. A
Ratchet was thrown at him, scarcely
missing his head. The gauger reports
that the we'll is doing 80 barrels or
more. The gas pressure is very heavy.
Late last evening it broke the hold
ings of the cap, throwing oil clear over
the derrick for fully fifteen minutes,
then settling to steady flow Of oil fully
twelve feet above the mouth of the
well, before it could be re-capped. A
substance resembling asphaltum is
running from the Harrison we'll at a
depth of 700 feet. Prof. White. who
visited the well to-day, says the sub
stance was once petroleum, but has be-
come oxidized.

HARRISBURG, w. Va, October IA. -
The future of this city's share in the
greasy fluid that has stirred up consid-
cradle activity at Wolf Summit and
Huntsville, in this county. seems at
hand. B. B. Scott, representing an oil
company, whose identity is withheld,
has been engaged this week leasing ter
ritory on the edge of and within the
city limits. A considerable amount of
territory has been leased, and loca-
ton has been made on John ]. Davis.
RE promises another on his own place
and one on the Point Mill property at
the extreme west end of the city. In
deed, he says, that within ten days a
dozen rigs will be in sight.
Among new territories receiving the
attention of the oil men are the lands
up Elk. and up the West Fork, at Lost
Creek On Elk there are two gassers,
on the old Carr place, and it is IL this
neishborhood that the land is being
taken up. 1t is likely the territory
around Lost Creek being leased will
be tested soon.
Judge Con has four producers now at
Wolf Summit. They aggregate seven
or eight hundred barrels per day. Be
sides, he has TWO more drilling, three
rigs building, and five new locations.

AN ANCIENT RELIC
Printed Story of Ronolu.

Oahu Charity SChooi-An Old lnstt-
tution-How 1t was Estab-
liShed.

While looking over some old papers
and prints in the Board of Education
| office the other day Inspector Genera
| Townsend happened across an interest
| ing relic-the septennial report of tn.
| Oahu Charity School The date of pub
| LEGATION was 1871, nine years after the
little band of pupils first gathered il
| the old stone building. The Oahu
making it, with one exception, the old
est school west of the Rockies and east
of Hongkong that is in existence to-
day. The exception is Lahainaluna
Seminary.
On the first page is printed the list
of trustees, whose names will be easily
recalled by old kamaainas. They were
Richard Charlton chairman; T. c. B.
Rookie, F. J. Greenway, John Meek
Benz. Pitman, Jr., Stephen Reynolds
treasurer; Geo. Pelly, secretary. 1t be-
gins as follows:
The number of half-caste children
increasing rapidly and the limited
means the native language afforded of
giving them useful education, with
the natural wish of some of their par
ents to teach their children the Eng
lish language rendered an institution
of the kind necessary.
After the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed a subscription list was opened.
to which the people are said to have
responded in very liberal manner. A
handsome donation was received from
the United States frigate Potomac,
which was then in port. In the list of
contributors are seen the names of A.
Adams, Capt. Carter, Jules Dudoit,> J.
c. Jones, Pierce & Brewer, T. G. B.
Rookie. Capt, Patty, Jas. Austin, J. Sim
clair, Capt. Campbell, and number of
others. One of the items on the sub
scription list is WIN. French (fines
paid him by bullock stealers) $23.''
A stone building, SO by 26 feet, which
cost $500, was finally built Mr. and
with mission work, were engaged as
teachers at $500 per annum for both
The attendance for the first year was
thirty-fve. which had increased to
eighty at the time Of the publication.
There was only one room, and on this
account the boys came in the forenoon
and the girls in the afternoon. After
wards this was changed by partition
ing off the room into two sections.
This building, which was the first of
Honolulu's public educational institu-
tons, stood in the corner Of the Gov
eminent property, where the Judiciary
building is now.
When the Fort Street School was
built the Oahu Charity School was
merged into it.

FRANCE TO ISSUE NEW STAMPS.
The postoffice has decided to replace
the present French stamps by others
OF a new design. 1t is generally adj
mitted that the vignette that has long
been in use is, if not precisely ugly, at
least, insignificant and wanting in
character. The notion of improving
on it is doubtless an excellent one,
will be successful. Certain recent eff
forts af the authorities of a similar
kind have not been particularly happy.
The new coins, for instance, that have
just been put in circulation are far
more generally criticised than APPROX
ed. However, this is, of course, no
reason why the new stamps should also
be a comparative failure. In any case,
no pains are to be spared to obtain a
satisfactory result. The system of an
open competition having been tried
some time ago without success, it has
been decided to ask a few of the most
talented French engravers to send in
designs. the best of which will be
chosen. The task will be intrusted in
all probability to engravers of the
younger school, the names of Bottee,
Patey and Vernon being mentioned as
likely to be among the selected artists.
i. is proposed to utilize three distinct
designs, with view to lessening the
number of colors-fourteen at present
necessary to distinguish between the
different values. 1t is hoped that the
new stamps will be ready in time for
the exhibition.-London Post.

into the church and the parsonage being
covered in the one charge.
1t was with considerable difficulty that
Sheriff Strong served the warrant on Rev.
Sperlen. The priest has had corps of
workmen engaged in repairs on the interior
of the parsonage for a day or two. The
doors have been kept locked. The sheriff
knocked at one of the doors and a work
man responded, but refused the officer ad
mittance. The priest was informed of the
caller, but still the door was kept barred
Securing an axe, the sheriff knocked in the
door and entering served the warrant with
out further hindrance. Rev. Sperlein was
taken into court, whore, at his request, the
case was continued until March 10, he Civ
ing bond in the sum of 5000 for his appear

sonage the old board of trustees took pos
session and what little personal property
Sperein had left there was set outside
The house will be in charge of an officer
until it can be supplied with new locks.
