elect Brigham Henry Roberts. from
Salt Lake City. Utah, who is in Brook
lyn. came over n week ago on private
business. He will remain about a week
longer and then 90 to Philadelphia and

did he know that there was now nm In
dlctment. He had broken no law, he
said; that he had q plurality of wives
was true, but he had married them be-
fore the manifesto of 1890.
There had been no plural marriages
since then. nor would there be any.
Any infringement of the statute would
be disciplined by the church as quickly
as by the laws OF the land. Mr.. Rob
erts went on to say that his visit to
Brooklyn was merely friendly one to
the people OF his own religious faith.
They were here 10 preach the gospel
and did not desire TO be brought into
any controversy which might affect
him.
Speaking OF his election to Congress
he said II had been accomplished lnde-
pendent OF the church MS he had re-
ceived the greater number Of votes
from gentiles. and It had been an cleo
tlon OF the people. He had no fear about
facing Congress nor any mIsglvings In
regard to the general outcome CT the
situation.

special Dispatch 20 the 4htelliEeueef,
PARKERsBURG. w. Va, Oct. 49,
There is character OF excitement in
this city tonight that never was be-
fore. oil has been struck within two
hundred yards of the city limits, and
the widest prophecies Of producers are
in evidence.
This city has been an oil center for
several years, and there is a great deal
of oil produced in the county, but there
has only been one test made In all
history 10 demonstrate whether or not
there is oil in the city. Mallory Brothers,
Sam Logan and others pooled in the
expense OF well. and oil was found
this afternoon.
The Indications are that the well will
be good for from fifteen to twenty bar
reIs a day. The well cost less than
$1,000, as the formation the entire dis
tance down is easily punctured, and
there are no heavy teamlng bills for
well supplies. The greasy fluid was
found at a depth of $40 feet, and wns
quite a surprise to the drlllers, as they
were not expecting it.
The drill went through the frst Cow
Run sand last night, and It was as
dry as a bone. Besides, 1t was a poor
quality of sand. The owners then de-
clded TO drill on down to the Salt sand.
and this was being done when the drill
disclosed the oil hnd late this after
noon. The well was Immediately shut
down and the owners sent for. The ex-
tent of the oil struck is not yet known
but the hole is partly filled, and the
drill has not yet entered the sand.

NEW YORK. Oct ia.-R. g. Dun 8
Co.'S weekly review of trade which 10.
sues tomorrow win say;
Industrial conditions could hardly be
better. After many months Of such ex-
traordinRry buying that It's continuance
seemed impossible. even larger buying
stlll crowds producing works In most
lines beyond their capacity, Tho Iron
furnaces are producing 1900 tons
weekly more than ever before, 27s.6i5
tons October !. and yet the actual COM
sumption In Manufacture reduced un-
sold stocks In September by 1880 tons,
while the demand runs far ahead into
next year for many products.
After the great buying last week.
BeSsemer pig rose 10 Ss4 at Pittsburgh.
with No, anthracite at Philadelphia
and No. local coke at Chicago, both
quoted at $2a 50, and buyers paying pre-
mlums for early deliveries according to
their needs. The finished products still
advance, eastern bar to 2.l6 and tnnk
centageE to prices of january !, 1899, Is
now l00a for finished products and
l0s,6 for pig, In some lines, however,
production has 50 far gained that
works are beginning to look for orders
TO cover next yenr.
The boot and shoe shops are getting
little better price for mems kip boots
and wOmen's grain and bun shoes, and
shipments foT the HTst hnif Of October
are the lurGest ever reached. though orr
ders for next season are retarded by
prices.
The demand for wooden goods is fair
ly large and prices are well sustained,
though not further advanced. In goods
of the batter grades there ls some un-
certainty Sales Of wool are smaller,
only Z, ,473,sO0 pounds for the week at tho
three markets without further advance.
Silks ARE firm and linens tending up
ward with good demand.

Wheat exports are stlll larger than
from the great crop of last year, Allan
tic flour included. having been 7,S51,99O
bushels in two weeks. against 6,ll66SO
bushels last year and Pacific I30,iiS
bushels, against i.57b.Oat last yenr. The
western receipts have been only 14,5iS.-
Ss2 bushels. against 2O,TsO,495 last year,
but the course OF prices is not calcula-
ted to encourage n big movement, for
after starting at 1881 cents. and falling
10 cents, the market closed Mt 15.0O,with
December options unchanged. The gov
ernment deferred annual statement OF
yield and It's figures are as usual var
IOusly interpreted. but not influential.
Corn receipts l3,7s9.74O bushels, against
11,O4T,2 2S0 In two weeks Of last week,with
exports OF 6,1I7,14S bushels against

Have Been Discovered.


Have Been Discovered.
NEW YORK, Oct 10. = Police Cap
talns schmlttberger and Price worked
nll last night on the Seventh street
woman murder mystery, but they re-
ported to-day that they discovered
nothing Every clue that hRs been fol-
lowed up 10 far led to nothing. The
police continue their denlRls that any
arrest has been made having even the
remotest connection with the case.
II was alleged that II clue had been
found In the house Of Mrs. Barbara
Damn, midwife, OF West one Hum
tlred nnd Ninth street. The police had
received some Information which led
them TO search the premises OF the fam.
fly, but nothing was found that would
in any way connect Mrs. Damn with
the mystery. The house Is on old two
story frame dwelling, with barn. It's
occupants nre Mrs. Damn, her son
George, driver OF a furniture van; his
daughter Emma: Mrs. Dnmm's dauBh-
Ter, Mrs. Emma Brown, and four board
ers, who sleep on the second hOor' the
pollcemcn searched the house and barn,
A number OF pieces Of red stained ma
Mia paper were found, and there we're
two old saws with rust on them, and an
old. worn, dusty and stained pair OF
trousers. The saws were old and tho
dust was so thick on them that they
cSaId rot have been used IN the lust
sIx months. The trousers hnd certainly
NOT been worn more recently than six
months ago. The manila paper was OF
the ordinary make, and the police say
they did not see how II could have ann
thing to do with the recent murder. The
pniIre say they have not given up the
search for Mrs. Gertrude Billings the
missing wife Of George Billings, n Su-
lOonkccper, nlthnugh MrF. BllllngS par
cnta said they were satisfied their
