What Do They Mean2

On several occasions residents of the
upper part of the city have been called
to the door in the evening by ring or
knock to find neatly dressed man
waiting to ask direction to some num-
DER on the same street. Usually the
number he asks for is that of a vacant
lot, but of course no one thinks of that
at the time and on asking the man
who lives there, he makes some evas-
i've answer. On being pressed for an
answer he will usually give name,
but there is never anyone by the name
given to be found on the street.
On one occasion there were two of
the men, one only coming to the door,
the other standing in the street to wait
for HIM. A lady answered the ring,
she being alone in the house at the time
and when shewent to the door before
man dld not give name, but asked
her to open the door and on being told
that she would not open the door until
she knew who 1T was, he told her she
had better open the door or it would
be worse for her. Sne thereupon turn
ed the key in the lock and the men
left after a few minutec waiting. Her
husband came home later in the even
ing and the men returned and the hus-
band opened the door and when they
saw the man they got through the usu-
al list of questions and departed.
Such actions are annoying and the
offenders should be punished If they
are ever apprehended.

ICE HOCKEY.
1t Is Growing to he the Great Mid
winter Sport in Greater
New York.

Ice hockey is now the leading mid
winter sport in Greater New York
for spectators, at least, If not in the
number of active participants. Al
though played there for the first time
only five winters ago, and, in the be-
ginning, with no special attempt TO
reach the sport-loving element, IL has
advanced steadily, numbering its en-
thuslasts By thousands last winter,
where two seasons ago they could hard
ly have been counted by hundreds.
The season of 1S07-S surpassed its
predecessors in point of popular in
terest, as well as in decidedly increased
skill displayed by the players and =
much higher standard OF excellence de-
manded by The spectators.
The remarkable ense with which
Americans take up anything new, mas
ter its principles and enlarge Its possl-
billties has seldom been more apparent
than In respect TO this game of hockey.

the knowledge Of IL has spread so rap
idly that thousands Of spectators can
discuss with intelligence and talk dis
eriminatlngly of the plays which follow
one another with such startling rapid
ity. Where there were two teams five
years ago there were scores of teams

YESTERDAYS MARKET
SCiJ.

The production of the Sclo field for
one day is a little over 1000 barrels
from 4S producing wells, now complet-
ed. Producers express themselves as
better pleased with lat field than they
were a few weeks ago,
The production was 265 barrels the
first day of January. 1875 barrels is
a pretty good raise in one month.
Standard Trust stock is selling at
$475 share quite an advance since
last week, but Oil has dropped a cent.
Two or three cents more off the credit
balance sheet will raise the Trust
share column to $500.
Reischman No. by Henderson &
Co., at Wilson Run, has been cleaned
out and is making a good showing for
producer.
Childs & Co.'s No. 1 Watson, near
Bluebird store, came in last week with
a good gas pressure and some oil, but
is being drilled to the Berea.
The best we'll in Scio is Sargent No.
1, which makes 100 barrels daily.
Some test work is being done in the
State of New York at present. They
get sand at IT'S to 1870 feet, but have a
very small showing for oil.
Drilling was to have commenced last
Monday on the Grim well at Round
Bottom.
Several thousand feet of new tubing
is being brought out from the river for
use in the Benwood field. Quite a
number of small wells are still being
pumped there, but not nearly so many
as were once rated on the list of pro-
ducers.-Woodsfield Spirit.

BADLY HURT.
Fireman Huntington Knocked From
the Cab Of a Moving Locomotive.

G. J. Huntington, the popular d. G.
S. w. fireman on the branch between
here and Parkersburg, was seriously
If not fatally hurt while on duty Sat
urday morning.
The accident occurred at the west
end of the bridge at Belpre. The train
which mad left Parkersburg on time,
was just leaving the bridge, when there
was a sudden jar of the engine like
something had caught the wheels of
the tender, or as II the break shoes
had suddenly stopped the wheels.
Huntington in order to see what was
wrong took hold of the hand-irons and
and while in this position and the
train running moderately fast, his
head struck a target pole standing near
the track and he was thrown from the
engine and rolled down the bank.
The train was stopped and the
trainmen hurried to him and found
him unconscious and bleeding from a
large scalp wound over tie left ear.
He was carried to the train and
made as comfortable as possible, and
on the arrival here was taken to his
room at Dr. DORIS, West Side, where
medical assistance was rendered and
efforts made to restore him to con-
sciousness.
at midnight he had been conscious
for few minutes at time on several
occasions, with chances in his favor
for recovery.
Mr. Dunnington's home is in Athens
county, near Utley. He is about %
years of age and one of the most pop
ular of the trainmen on ne branch.
His comrades all deplore the accident.

Model Barge of Steel Rails Sunk

The towboats which started out
from Pittsburg during the past few
days are taking big risks in attempt
ing to get through the heavy ice now
afioat in the Ohio.
Friday the Fallie was coming down
with tow of steel rails. In attempt
ing to pass under the B. & o. bridge,
she had difficulty in swinging around
on account of the heavy ice, and a
large model barge, loaded with steel
rails, struck one of the piers. She be-
gan sinking rapidly and was cut loose
a short dlstancebelow the bridge, sink
ing almost Immediately.
The Sentinel on Friday contained an
account OF the accident to the Fred
Wilson and her tow at Pleasant View,
below Ravenswood. The accident is
more serious than at first reported.
When the tow struck the obstruction
it went to the bottom, and it was found
that the boat was also badly damaged.
She was cut loose from her tow and
she was run across to the, Ohio side
and the forward end of her was beach
ed. The stern is clea under water
and she lies in a very dangerous posi-
tion if the river closes.
Several boats have been compelled
to tie up at points where there is small
protection in case of breakup and
they are liable to have trouble.-Sen-
