QUICKLY ENDED.
Brooklyn Bridge Train Hands Struck Sue
cessfully Against a Cut in Wages.

New York, March IA strike of
the train hands employed on the
Brooklyn bridge occurred to-day and
after congesting traffic for twenty-five
minutes, ended in favor of the men.
The cause of the strike was a new
time and pay schedule prepared by
the elevated railroad company, and
which cut down the earnings of the
men.
About 5000 people cross on the ele-
waited cars to New York every hour
from six to nine o'clock in the morn
ing. The strike started at a. m,
and the thousands of travellers were
compelled to either walk across the
big structure or take the trolley cars.
The surface cars soon became damned
with an impatient mass of disguised
citizens.
The railroad company took down
the new schedule and put up the old
one, and at % minutes past 7 the
strike was over and the trains run
ming again as usual.

commodation of travellers to and from

The new yacht, it is said, will make
stops at any point on either side of the
river, along its proposed course, which

sengers. The new craft will arrive at
Bellaire very shortly and will be put
in operation at once. According to

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March 1.-The
United States Oil Company closed a
deal Tuesday at Pittsburg for the pur-
chase of the entire holdings of the
Allegheny Oil Company in the Scio
field, the new pool just opening ID
Harrison county, Ohio.
The price paid was 100000 and it
includes twenty-five wells drilled IN
and producing IT'S barrels day and
also leases on 600 acres of the choicest
territory in that field
The deal has been under way about
a month, and last week an agreement
was reached between the two COM
panies at Pittsburg, and $4,000 was
posted by the United States Oil Com
pany to bind the sale.
General Manager w. H. D. Chaplin,
of the United States Oil Company,
who has his headquarters in this city,
had gone to Boston to consult the Off
GERS of his company, who live there
and have the general offices of the
company there.
He returned to this city Sunday and
left at once for Pittsburg, where the
deal was closed The exact figures
are not given out, but the ones given
here are approximately true.
w. H. Wright, the general superin-
tendent of the company, who also has
his headquarters in this city, left this
afternoon for Scio, and WI assume
charge of the newly acquired property.
The property is valuable, indeed, for
the field is just in its inception, and
operations are being pushed forward
with great energy. The sale will, in
no way, conflict with the company's
Offices here, as the territory will all
be managed from this city.

Harrisville, w. Va, March 1.-The
suit of R. G. Gillespie against the
Eclipse Oil Company and Stole Bros,
an action brought in the Fourth judi
cial circuit, was to have been decided
Tuesday by Judge Romeo H. Freer.
The suit is an important one, as it
involves the ownership of a valuable
oil lease of 800 acres on the AmaZiah
Yoho farm in Wetzel county and is
right in the heart of developments.
Attorney B. NJ. Amber, representing
the plaintiff and attorneys w. P. Hub
bard and ]. B. Sommerville, of the de-
Tense, accompanied by j. E. Newsom,
President of the Eclipse Oil Company
of Boston, and ]. C. Stole, of Wheel
ing, were here to hear the Judge rem
der his decision. They were disap-
pointed.
Judge Freer said that as his resig-
nation takes effect tonight at midnight
and as he could not get to New Mar
tinsville in time to enter his Decree It
would be useless to give any opinion
in the matter and that it must be left
to his successor TO decide.
The parties in the suit were very
much disappointed as the arguments
had all been made in the case and it
was thought that it would be his last
Official act as Judge.
