Oil Notes.
YESTERDAYS MARKET.

In our oil report of Tuesday morning
we said that there four dry holes on
the Reynolds farm that had been drill
| ed by Messrs. Buckley & BisZantz.
We are informed that they were drilled
by Donnelly & Co.
In Monroe and Washington counties
there is a decline in operations. The
Big Injun sand pool that was expected
to develop northeast of the Jackson
Ridge field, in the first named county,
has failed to materialize, and unless
the work now under way brings better
results the hope of opening up a new
Big lnjun pool will be abandoned.
| The Elk Run development in Wash
ington county shows less activity than
! in January. The dry hole list has
been augmented from that quarter
during the present month and the pro-
ducing wells recently completed have
fallen below the average. This is
practically true of all the lower south
west shallow sand pools, except in
IPleasants county, w. Va.
Below Willaimstown, Wood county,
there is less doing on both sides of the
river than at any time in the last four
months. Ali efforts to carry the pro-
ducing tetrritory south and
southwest into Roane, calhoun and
parts of Writ county have failed and
| holders are surrendering their leases
in blocks of thousands of acres. In
the search for gas, large areas of ter
ritory have been condemned. A good
gas neld would be as acceptable in thar
country as an oil development.
The production of the Scio neld is
now very close to 1000 barrels a day.
and is still moving upward. Inc new
| wells due this week will show an in
crease in the aggregate output of the
| field.
Myers & Brown have shot their No.
1 on the Spiker farm and have a pro-
ducer good for 100 barrels a day.
The location is 500 feet distant from
No. l Howser.
In the Elk Run district in Washing
ton county, Ohio, operations have de-
| cllned somewhat. During the month
nine wells were completed-four dust
ers and five producers. There are II
rigs up and six wells drilling.
| Shay & Mullen completed their test
well on the Moore farm yesterday and
got a duster This well is located
ahead of developments to the south
west. Latshaw & Co. are due in tho
Sand at test well on the Tice farm.
| .alhoun & Co. are shut down at 900
feet on their test well on the Miller
farm.-Derrick.

STRANGE RAILWAY CRIME.
A ROBBERY WHICH COULD NOT OCCUR
IN An AMERICAN TRAIN.

A daring attempt, under novel cir
cumstAnces, 20 rob or murder psssen-
ger In train is reported TO have oc-
Cured In the Bordeaux-Paris express
recently, says the Lombard Standard.
NJ. Albert Roux, Partisan lawyer, was
returning 10 the capital from the South,
and In order TO be able 10 sleep on the
journey he had taken seat In = coupe
carriage, In which he Was the only pas
senger. As soon as the train had start
ed on It's journey NJ. Roux made prepa-
rstions to lie down, and was doing,
when he WAS awakened by peculiar
odor which seemed TO have suddenly In
vaded the compartment, aud which, Sc
cording 10 NJ. Roux, resembled spirits
Of wine. As he had small spirit lamp
10 his travelling bag. N. Roux thought
this might have got broken. As he WAS
getting up 10 inspect Ii N. Roux noticed
= man on the footb0ard Of his carriage,
eudeavoring TO open the door, which
fortunately, was also locked from the
inside. N. Roux drew = revolver which
he had In his pocket and pulled the
alarm, the train being brought TO n
standstill between st. Sulpicc and Va
varzs. Meanwhile the man had dlssp-
peared from the footboard, and, as be
WAS not TO be found 10 the train after a
careful inspection, II Is presumed that
he jumped down as the train drew up,
and made of across the country.
In the next carriage 10 that which NJ.
Roux had occupied, discovery WAS
made which leaves no doubt rs TO the In
tention OF this my sterious passenger. A
small hole hsd been drilled through the
division which separated the compsrt-
ments. Through this hole glass tube
had been introduced, and some pieces OF
India rubber tubing which had been left
ON the seat showed that chlOroform had
been poured through them. II hsd
doubtless been calculated that the chic
reform would fall close to the sleeping
passengers nostrils, and that he would
have thus become 0verpowdered. Hav-
ing given the snasthetic time TO act, the
thief, 1t Is surmised, got out OF his car
riage, and intended entering the carriage
occupied by NJ. Roux to rob him. NJ.
Roux was able TO give TO the police
careful description of this individual,
whom he had previously noticed at Bor-
dexux station, and who seemed desirious
Of getting In the same compartment
with him, but WAS apparently deferred
by his engaging q coupe. The police
have secured the surrounding country,
but up TO the present have been unable
70 find any trace OF the cuiprit.
