In the excursion fleet knew what had

expected to see her drop astern. In

Madly she footed and in five minutes
she was clear Of her adversary. Five
minutes later the Shamrock went on

The New Refinery.

The new building for the Webster
Oil Refinery are all well under way
and the plant is assuming proportions
that are surprise to one who has not
understood the extent to which the
Webster Oil Company will carry its
operations.
The building material, machinery,
ETC., of the plant at Titusville, Pa,
are being moved in and unloaded on
the grounds as fast as possible and a
force of seventy men is engaged in the
work of constructing the plant. All
of the buildings will be of brick, and
will be substantial, so that anyone
who had doubts as to the company's
staying qualities may have those
doubts removed by noticing the kind
if buildings they are erecting. Mr..
Webster says that he has come to stay
and that he wants his plant to be
first class in every respect.
The buildings will probably be in
shape to commence active operations
in about a mont.
Mr.. Webster has received letters
from San Francisco, St. Louis, Boston,
.ova Scotia and other places, asking
him when he would begin to place his
goods on the market and wanting first
chance when the goods are ready

A $2,OOO,OOO Mortgage.

Two deeds and two mortgages that
will be of interest to the public were
placed on record at the office of Re-
corder John w. Athey Thursday
morning. The deeds are from d. B..
Torpy, trustee, to the National Glass
Co., of Plttsburg, and the Royal
Glass Co., also to the National Glass
Company. The first transfers lots in
the East End and the second the noyal
Glass Co.'S plant and fixtures in this
city. The consideration named in each
case was "$1.00 and other valuable
considerations"
In order to raise money to begin op-
erations for the extension of their vast
business, the National Glass Company
borrowed $2,000,00O of the Union Trust
Company, of Pittsburg, securing the
loan by a first mortgage on all their
property throughout the country. The
copy of the mortgage filed in the Re-
corder's Office is in book form and
covers b5 pages. 1t is a description of
the many glass plants now controlled
by the big combine. A representative
of the company was on hand Wednes-
day with the first copy of the mort
gage.
The deeds required $3.50 and $3.50
respectively in revenue stamps, while
the original copy fthe mortgage had
a $1,000 stamp upon it.

they will meet the o. S. U. team upon

The Columbus team is especially
strong this year and as Marietta has
been doing some good work also, the

Deepest Well Ever Drilled.

There is now some uncertainty as to
the future of the deep well which the
Forest Oil Co. has been drilling on the
Bedell place, near West Elizabeth
The company has encountered many
difficulties in the effort to put the we'll
down to the depth of 5000 feet. While
the object of drilling the well to that
depth has never been given out, it is
understood that it is to test the Brad
ford sand in that section, the geology
of the country indicating that it
would be found at that depth, and it
has never been penetrated in this part
OF the state. During the progress of
the drilling string after string of tools
have been stuck, and at present many
hundred feet of tools and rope are in
The hole, which has been drilled to a
depth of 5,76O feet, by far the deepest
in the world, being considerably over
a mile in depth. One rig has been
burned and another demolished by an
accident and the well has cost $25 1000
to date. At depth of little over a
mile the temperature was found to be
12S degrees.-Canonsburg (Pa.) Notes.
