at the time feeding the horses. He had
placed the lantern on the floor and while
feeding the horsesit exploaded and in a
few minutes the entire building was in
flames. None of the horses were injured
but almost everything else in the barn
went up in smoke.

Failing Health.

Friends of ex.P POSTMASTER General Viii
liam L. Wilson have received advices that
the distinguished free trader is in failing
health and that his recovery is doubtful.
1t is asserted that one of his lungs is en-
tirely gone, that the other is seriously dis
eased and that he is almost totally blind.
Mr. Wilson was formerly president OF
the West Virginia University, at Nor
gantown, and is now the head of the
University of Virginia, at Lexington, Va,
position he accepted Immediately upon
his retirement from President Cleveland
cabinet. He was a member of Con-
gress from the Third district of this

tional prominence as the father of the
tariff bill which bore his name, enacted
during Mr. Cleveland's term. He has
never been of robust health.

A Large Gusher.

Weston, w. Va. Oct. o.-The South
ern Oil Company has drilled in its well or
the II. P. Camden farm. At depth OIL
800 feet the well came in a gusher and
is now doing fully 200 barrels per hour
Leasing is going on in every direction, and
for many years.
There is a touch of renewed oil fever
among producers on account of the won
derful strike in the rank wildcat terri
tory near Weston. Local producers,
while confident that a vast new oil terri
tory has been opened up, and that the
well is one of the richest strikes of the
year in all oildom, do not believe that il
is doing so much as has been reported.
Within the next few days there will be
brisk leasing in Lewis county.

A Street Sprinkler Needed.

AppropoS of the increased water sup
ply which Frederick will soon enjoy,
thanks to the action of the Board of
Aldermen in deciding to take in the
crystal waters Of Fishing Creek. would
be the purchase by the city Of a street
spriuk ler-oue Of those big barrel af-
fairs such rs are used in large cities
This was impractic able in the past, but
the need was none the less apparent.
The condition of our streets, especially
during the dry spring and summer
weather is enough to make the tidy
housewife utter many deprecatory eX-
pletives when the wind drives clouds
of dirt and dust through doors and win
dows on to newly washed curtains,
spick and span upholstered furniture
and cleanly-swept carpets. 1t certainly
must be aggravating and yet there has
been no effective help for the nuisance,
except individual street sprinkling.
Even this luxury has been denied
property owners, owing to the scarcity
of water during certain seasons of the
year. a sprinkler would solve the
problem in an economical manner.
They are not expensive and the salary
Of the driver and the hire Of horses
would be Insignificant in comparison
to the comfort that would be afforded
everyone. Let our City Fathers con-
slider this suggestion, if they have not
entertained it before, and give relief to
a long-suffering community.
