In Common Pleas Court.

The business of the court was taken
up Monday morning where it was left
off Saturday evening.
No decisions were rendered by the
Court Monday morning. The case
which occupied the time of the Court
most OF the day Monoay was that of
Gearge Taylor, charged with picking
the pocket of one Raymond Frazier
last winter, when Frazier had come to
town to be shown around and called
upon Taylor to pilot him about the
city. The case was tried before a jury
which found from the evidence that
the defendant was guilty Sentence
has not yet been passed upon him.
Jacob Suder was granted a divorce
from his wife, Phebe Suder, on the
ground of wilful absence. He was or

Quite a Runaway,

Monday afternoon one of the Italian
fruit vendors of the city, whose name
we could not learn, but who, we are
told was called Abraham Gusses, was
down at the c. & NJ freight house
laoding some bananas into his wagon.
The horse did not seem to like the To-
cation and tried to run away, but tho
driver who did not seem to know much
about the handling of a horse, finally
managed to get him turned around and
drove back to the freight house and
loaded the fruit When he started to
drive out on Second street the animal
again started to run and the driver
could not control him at all. He
crossed the street and tangled the wag-
on up with "A telegraph pole, throwing
the driver to the street with great
force, breaking the shafts loose from
the wagon and smashing wheel en-
tirely. The horse proceeded down Sec
ond street with the shafts of the rig
dangling from his harness and came
very near running into a valuable cal
that was on the side of the street. He
was finally stopped near Green street
The driver was pretty badly bruised
about one hip and the thigh, but was
able to walk about some and it il
thought that he was not seriously hur

Gamble -Shonert Concert.

Those who heard the Gamble-Sho-
merit concert last evening were well paid
for the listening. Both gentlemen are
artists of the very first rank in their
respective lines, and each one received
an ovation from the audience.
Gamble is superb fellow with big
round voice, trained to go where he
puts 1t, and he sends it forth with
consummate skill. His manner is easy
and he throws into his songs a feeling
which is a natural and essential part

Mr.. Shonert shared equally with
Mr.. Gamble in the honors of the even

mand of the piano, and versatility
that was remarkably interesting. Mr..
Shonert in all his selections was very
happy, and his renditions left nothing
to be desired-unless it was more OF
the same kind.
The concert was a truly artistic sue.

gentlemen with us again.

Oil Notes..

1t is reported that Hammond has a
good well on a farm east of Chester
hill near the Myers farm strike.
Judge Broughten and others have
the rig up for their No. 1 on Nicholas
Schott, in Elk township, Noble county
and as the location is a rank wildcat,
the outcome is looked forward to with
much interest. The location is about
five miles from Elba, this county, the
neares, production. 1t is thought this
viii. be a good well as it is on line
from the production about Woodsfield
and Macksburg.
The Pottmeyer No. on Horse Run,
which was reported as the best well of
the three producers on the farm, has
been having some bad luck. They
tried to ream the hole out and broke
the jarrers and now have fishing job.
The rig for Roach No. / has been
erected and drilling will begin there
this week. This rig is located about
quarter of mile northwest of the
pumping station for the Sand Hill
field.
1t is reported that the we'll on the
Lambert farm at Chesterhill, which
was expected to be the best thing in
the field, was drilled in Saturday
morning, but when the drill penetrated
the sand little deeper heavy flow of
salt water set in and up to yesterday it
had not been pumped Off
Work is progressing fairly well on
the new location made by Kingsley on
the farm just west of town. Also on
the Schlaubach well and the we'll on
Dodge's Run.
The title of the South Penn to Gar
ner and other leases is not clear, and a
big litigation is quite sure to be one re-
suit of the big strike, unless compro-
mise with the other claimant is ef-
fected. The Eclipse Oil Co., composed
of Boston parties, leased in 1897
through their agent, F. M. Leasure, of
this city, 5000 acres including the Gar
ner farm and other surrounding land.
The terms of the leasec ontracts were
that a we'll should be completed with
in six months OF the company pay 81
per acre per annum until such we'll is
drilled. This contract has been ad-
hered to, so the Eclipse claims, and the
South Penn had no legal right what
ever to blanket their leases. Through
an inadvertence, due TO the fact that
the members of the Eclipse Co. were
new in the oil business. the leases are
not recorded, but this negligence does
not invalidate the contracts in WesI
Virginia.
The Reviews oil reporter, in conver-
sation w4.n Mr.. Leasure this morning
learned that the rentals for the lane
we're paid by him last summer hefor'
the expiration of the IS months, ant
according TO contract, $4,000 being thu
sum paid or one dollar per acre, Tbt
Eclipse Co., Mr.. Leasure stated, ha(
complied in every respect to the obll
cations incurred when the land wa
leased, and had been advised by emf
/ nent counsel that their claim 10 tn
leases was perfect.-Oil 4leview.

Death of "Tony" DetambIe.

standard time, from the effects of cere-
bro spinal meningitis. AS is usual in
cases of that disease, he had Deen sick
but short time and his death there
fore comes very suddenly to those of
his acquaintances who did not happen
to hear of his sickness.
Mr.. Detamble was nearly 43 years
old and was born in Pittsburg. He
was for several years a resident Of
Beverly, o., coming to Marietta about
eight years ago. He was well known
and well liked by a large circle of ac-
quaintances and friends. He had been
in his usual good health up to Friday
night about ten O'Clock, when he clos
ed his place of business on Front
street and went home, complaining that
he was very tired Saturday morning
he was unable to come down town TO
work as usual and kept rapidly getting
worse until the end.
He leaves a wife and six children, all
of whom are at home, the oldest child
being only about sixteen years of age
and the youngest is seven months.
| Friends and relatices of the family
out of the city have been notified and
are expected to arrive here today to at
tend the funeral which will be held al
nine o'clock Wednesday morning from
| st. Marys Catholic church.

THE FINDING
Of tie Body Of Peter BenIeiu, Srp Of
This CITY,

Our readers will remember that some
time ago we told of the fact that an
old man had taken the steamer Vir-
ginia on her up trip here and had not
been seen after the boat left Mounds
vile, also that after few days 1t was
found that the missing man was Peter
Benlein, 'Sr., of this city. A reward
was offered by hiserelatlves for the re-
eovery of his body, as he was sup
posed to have been drowned.
The weeks dragged along and no
trace of the body was heard of until
Thursday, when a man found body
floating in the river near Moundsville.
The papers of that place gave a des-
cription of the remains and 1t was
thought at once that the body might
be that of the missing Mr.. Benlein.
Mr. Peter Benlein, Jr., went to
Moundsville to ascertain if possible
whether the remains were those of his
father. When he reached that place
he found that the coroner had retain
ed the articles which were found on
the body, among which were a silver
watch and chain, pocketbook con-
tanning Sails, confederate ten dollar
bill, a knife, pipe tobacco and other
things. He had no trouble in identify
ing the articles as the property of his
father.
He was informed that the body
which had been buried, was in such a
state of decomposition that it would be
impossible to remove it here for burial
and therefore he did not try to do that
He brought the articles found home
with him and tried the keys in the
trunk which had belonged to his
father One of them fitted the trunk
all right and there is no dubt as to the
identity of the body.
Just how Mr.. Benlein came to his
death will perhaps always remain 6
mystery, as there rs no one who saw
him fall overheard and no one can as
sign any reason for his wishing tt
commit suicide. 1t was most likely al
accident, as the old gentleman was
somewhat feeble and if he happened t.
lose his balance he might easily have
pitched into the river without attract
ing the notice of anyone.
There were several bruises about tn,
head and face which the coroner's jur.
deemed sufficient evidence that he hat
been foully dealt with and so statet
in their verdict, although the valuable
on his person had not been disturbed
and that would seem to be the only in
centive that any one could have t
murder the old gentleman.
