POINT PLEASANT, w. Va, Au-
gust 3-The Jones Oil and Gas Com
pany, two miles back of Cheshire,
o., have just completed a coed fow-
ing lubricating oil we'll at a depth of
1870 feet. The well is on the Cole
farm, and the company expects to put
down more of the wells at once, one
of which will be to a depth of 1000
feet, and the others will only be put
down to the Cow Run sand, which is
found at depth of 1870 feet.
Some two miles south Of the Cole
farm is well also owned by the same
company. 1t was drilled months ago,
and was not thought to be much of a
venture, but is proving itself a pro-
Queer at the present time. The same
company's well on the Coughenour
farm, drilled six months ago, is pro-
ducing seven barrels daily.

A Strange Story.

Quebec, July IA story causing
a sensation in ecclesiastical circles
comes from Robersal on the shore
of Lake St. John, to the effect
that the Virgin Mary has appeared
ly to two girls by the name of Clot-
ier, daughters of farmer. The
apparition was accompanied by
that which the girls identified as
their dead sisters. The Virgin
spoke at length to the children,
but they refuse to tell even their
parents. All efforts to shake the
story of the children have, it is
stated, proved unavailing.

Opposes Trust Conference

Austin, Texas, July 6.-Among
the southern democratic govern
or who have failed to respond to
Governor Sayers' call for an anti
trust conference is Governor Nc
MILAN of Tennessee. The latter
stated recently to a political friend
who in turn repeated it to Sayers,
that he opposed the conference;
that he believed certain leaders of
the democratic party were making
a mistake in attempting to force
an antitrust issue into national
politics that he does not believe
it is within the province of the
state to legislate against trusts;
that it is question which should
be left wholly in the hands of fed
eral congress.

WORK OF RELIEF
STILL GOES ON.
Loss of Life Reports Sent Out
Thought TO be Exaggerated.
NEGROES LEFT HOMELESS,

Houston, Texas, July THE
telephone lines have been repaired
today and the following has been
received from Brookshire:
The report that 1000 people
had lost their lives in the storm
here has been greatly exaggerated
but the loss of property is said to
be much greater than was at first
estimated. The citizens are doing
everything possible to alleviate the
suffering for want of food and
clothing, and assistance from out
side towns is coming in.
What worries the people of this
town most of all is how to take
care of the 10000 negroes who
have been rendered homeless.
Austin, Texas, July Every
effort is being made to relieve the
distress of the flood sufferers. The
stories of destitution are heart
rending. A dispatch from Sealey
says that with the aid of glasses
the committee of distribution
could be seen across the river from
that point, and while in act the of
discharging their duties people
could be seen stealing provisions
and fighting over them. In some
cases people were thrown into the
high water and carried away by
the current, No doubt many of
these were drowned.
The storm was one of the worst
that ever visited this portion of
the state.

FORTUNE IN RARE PIPES.
Curious and Valuable Estate Of q
California Man.

Curious and Valuable Estate Of q
California Man.
The bulk of the estate of the late Ar
thur Won Giegligen Of Oakland, CAL,
who committed suicide about two weeks
ago, consists of a collection Of pipes,
which is probably the finest collection
of the kind on the coast and one of the
best in the world. For nearly half o
century Won Giegligen pursued his
peculiar fad, with the result that today
the collection numbers many hundreds
and is valued at many thousand dollars.
The last will of Won Gieeligen was
recently fled for probate in the superior
court by Georgiana Won Giegligen and
Ernest Emmrick, who are named in the
will as executors. The widow and three
grown children are the legatees. In adj
dition to the collection Of pipes, Of
which the value is unknown to the po-
4itioners, the estate consists of 20 shares
Of the Pacific States Savings, Loan and
Building company, valued at 81, 600.
and jewelry valued at 800.
One estimate of the value Of the pipes
fixes it at $1,000, but another says that
In the right market it would bring
twice that sum. The collection COM
prises pipes Of almost every kind Of ma.
terial and workmanship and from every
country. There are meersohaums most
Enthusiastically al. exquisitely carved.
some of them perfectly colored. These
comprise the most valuable portion Of
the collection. Every pipe has it's own
history. Besides these, there are briers,
blackthorns aud q great many other
kinds Of wood pipes, some Of them very
handsome; porcelain bowls and even
clay pipes Of rare design. Some Of them
cost large Gums Of money, and all were
selected by an expert in such matters.
What will now become Of the collection
is matter Of speculation, but they
should yield small fortune to the
heirs.-New York Journal.

H0AR OPPOSES EXPANSION
His Speech in the Senate Given
Close Attention.
VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION
Declares the United States Has No Power
To Acquire Territory to Be Gov.
erned ~ Colonies.


Of territorial expansion was again be-
fore the senate during the day, the prin-
cipal speaker being Mr.. Hoar (Rep.,
Mass.), who delivered speech in sup
port Of the resolution introduced by Mr..
Vest Dem., NO. declaring it to be in
opposition to the constitution for this
country to acquire foreign territory to
be governed permanently as colonies.
Although Mr.. Hoar occupied the time
of the senate for more than two hours
he was accorded the unusual compli-
ment Of close and undivided attention
by his colleagues on the floor and q
large audience in the galleries. His
speech was in answer to that recently
delivered by Mr.. Plat Rep., Conn.,
and had been most carefully prepared.
He took strong ground against the posi-
ton assumed by the Connecticut sena-
tor, maintaining that it was in
Violation Of tho Con.titution
and the declaration of independence for
this country to acquire foreign territory
to be governed as colonies.
Mr.. Platt, at the conclusion Of Mr..
Hears address, briefly replied to some
points of the speech which had been d.
rected especially at him. He reiterated
his former statement that the United
States had power to acquire and govern
foreign territories and declared that if
this country had embraced the doctrines
of Mr.. Hoar the Mayfower would have
been turned back from Plymouth Rock
and the country would never have ex-
banded to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Caffery concluded his cpeech in
opposition to the Nicaragua canal bill,
but an effort to fix = time for vote
upon it failed.
REVERSED IT'S DECISION.
House Votes an Appropriation for tho
Civil Service Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The house
has reversed the decision of the commit
tee of the whole last Friday when the
appropriation for the support of the
civil service commission was stricken
out of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. In COM
mittee, where members do not go on
record, the appropriation was stricken
out by vote of 81 to u. When the
roll was called the appropriation was
restored, the motion to strike out being
defeated, 95 to 119. The house, by spe-
cial order, decided to proceed with the
consideration of the naval personnel bill
as soon as the bill for the codification of
the laws of Alaska was out of the way.
About 20 additional pages of the latter
bill were covered, leaving almost 100
pages still undisposed of.
