France and the Transvaal.

A French editor claims that French
firms have invested not less than
5000 600, 900 in Transvaal mining prop
erty, and that the French, German
and Dutch interests exceed those of
the English. He Is of the opinion
that the "Boers would be inclined to
favor France as against other count
ries when the war is over" The
French are so largely interested in the
Transvaal coal mines, which are re-
ported as practically inexhaustible.
Consul Covert, OF Lyons, says that
French stockholders in the Transyaal
mines are moving Off combination of
German, Dutch and French interests.
The foundation of the movement is
the belief that If the English are vic
torious the cost of the war will be
taxed upon the mines; that if the for
tunes of war incline to the side of the
Beers, heavy tax may be imposed
upon outside stockholders, which non
belligerents wish to avoid. 1t would
thus appear that Europeans have a
more urgent call for interference in
the present war between England and
the Transvaal Republic than the Unit
ed States.-DerTick.

Charlie Caldwell Won't Run
For Congress.

"How is the Congressional race
progressing?" was a question pro-
pounded to Hon. Chas T. Caldwell by
the State Journal today, and this is
what he said:
81 am not a candidate for Congress
nor any ether Office or place, and Will
net be a candidate. l am right tired
Of running for Congress and other po-
litlcal offices. A representative in
Congress must attend to other peoples
business, and when | unemployed 10
look after the affairs of others, l ex-
pect pay for it.
There is nothing in the Congress
lonal orchard for me. The old plum
tree hasn't sound limb on It, The
plums are all gone and the old barren
tree is full OF clubs. Another thing
that prevents my running for cftice is
the condition of my runners. They
we're badly wrecked in 1892, and a
fellow can only run with the late i'm
proved runners. s."-Parkersburg Jour
nal.

The PupiIs Struck.

There was a case of combined strike
and lockout in the Belpre schools yes
terday. The way Of It was this;
The principal of the Belpre educa-
tional establishment, several days ago
announced his intention of cutting the
noon hour fifteen minutes short, with
the laudable object of letting out
school fifteen minutes earlier in the
evening. Day before yesterday, 1t is
said the cut occurred all right, but the
promised reduction of the afternoon
hours did not follow as scheduled
This set the scholars to thinking
and an organization was perfected
which resulted in well developed
strike. So, yesterday when the bell
rang to take up after the noon recess,
not a scholar responded to the sum
mons. They sat around on the school
house steps and refused to come in un-
til the regular time was up. Then,
when they tried to get in they found
that they were locked out In short
the man with the switch was much put
out, so 1t is reported, and wanted to
chastlse the whole bunch of refractory
pupils, but finally thought the matter
over and concluded that he might be
in the wrong after all, And the prom
ised rebate on the evening dismissal
was accorded and all is now lovely

One Mans Wealth.

Some developments of the stock
market for few days past show al
most conclusively that Mr.. Rockefeller
the head and front of the tandard Oil
Company, is the richest man in the
world. The capital of that company is
500, ,OO0, 900, and it sold in the open
market within a day or two at 545.
Probably one-hah this amount Is con-
trolled by Mr.. Rockefeller, which
would make his holdings worth about
$3.50, ,OO0, 900. In the last four months
the company has paid in dividends
$l30 00O, 900, and if one-half this
amount has gone to Mr.. Rockefeller,
it adds just that much more to his
vast wealth. And, as for the future,
or, rather, the present year, rumor
says that $75,OOO,OOO will be distribut-
ed in dividends, about one-fourth Of
which will be paid next week. All of
this goes to show that there is such a
thing as wealth beyond the dreams OF
ayarice.-Commercia Tribune.

The rimaries.

In response to the call issued by the
committee the Republicans of the city
will meet at the voting places in their
respective wards, between the hours
of $3.50 and 1880 this evening, for the
purpose of electlng delegates to the
Republican City Convention to be
at the Court House next Tuesday eve
ming. The following have been select
ed by the committee as places of hold
ing the primaries in the wards:
First Ward-Uhl building, Second
street.
Second Ward-Gilman's stable.
Greene street.
Third Ward-Clty Hall,
Fourth Ward--Dehance engine
house.
Fifth Ward-Conrad's coal Office.
Sixth Ward-Munsey's barber shop.
Not only are delegates to be chosen
to the city convention, but nomina-
tions OF one assessor and one Council.
man are to be made in each ward.

The Scio Mystery.

"A telegram from Scio tonight states
that nothing has been discovered to-
day that would throw any light on
the mysterious nitro glycerine explos-
ion that occurred near that place Mon
day night, at which time one or two
persons were blown TO pieces. The
tell-tale initials, &C. w. f." on the
watch case or the picture of the young
woman on the porcelain button picked
up near the scene of the accident. it
was hoped, might lead to the identity
of at least one of the victims. So far,
neither have furnished clue. The
only plausible motive advanced for
stealing the deadly explosive was for
the purpose of selling it to some
shooter, who buys his stock from some
of the larger companies; by offering
cut rates, he probably thought he
would have no trouble In disposing OF
this stuf.--Pitts Cor. Oil City Derrick.
