The gas coming through the tube was

startled by loud noise which came
fro mthe direction OF the well and last
ed fully five minutes. An investiga-
bion was made Friday morning and it
was found that such head of gas had
come in that it had blown the top off
the barrel and scattered it in all di
rections. Friday night it broke loose
in the same manner, and tn presidents

Is This the Bow

Pittsburg, Pa, July 14.--Conrad
Brown, of 14s4 Rush street. now thinks
that the unknown boy killed in the
naptha explosion at Parkersburg. w.
Va, on July 4, may be his son, William
aged II years, who ran away with a
circus about six weeks ago.
Nothing was left of the boys body,
by the explosion, but one OF the lower
limbs, and the father intends going to
Parkersburg to try and indentify the
limb If possible. Young Brown was
employed as heater at the Pressed Steel
Car works in Lower Alleghaney. His
father believes that his son was with
circus which was at Parkersburg at
the time of the explosion. The boys
mother is prostrated by the supposed
fate of her son as is in serous con-
dition. Superintendent of Police
Muth has received word from Parkers-
burg that the remains have not yet
been identified.

Paris Letter.

thoughtful traveller has doubtless felt
how much more interesting are the
people of country than are their
monuments, cathedrals, museums, or
even their International Expositions.
people of country or portray them, or
catch the million evanescent flashes by
which they show all the littleness and
greatness of their character? The
French are said to be shallow and
volatile race, but is NJ. Taine shallow?
Can anyone after reading "Lourdes, 4"
Rome" Paris" and his stern heroic
defense of Dreyfus call Zola volatile?
There are hundreds of Frenchmen no
less serious and scarcely less disting-
uished. Any for every great writer of
the other sex in our language 1t will
not be dificult to mention De Stael or
a Sand. These are exceptions, of
course, but the great Frenchmen have
not written without readers. and their
great scientists and philanthropists are
not without honor in their own coun-
try. Nevertheless, outside their books
or paintings or statuary, we do not
like the French, nor do they like us.
This mutual antipathy, however, does
not perhaps prove more than mutual
Ignorance and prejudice. We do not
IKE anything unlike ourselves. Think

Stealing Oil Tools.

The oil fraternity in the Big Run
field have been exceedingly annoyed
and subjected to heavy losses by junk
thieves within the past few days.
Thursday night the thieves made a
visit to the Big Injun well that is be-
ing drilled by the Six Brothers Co. on
the C. D. Uhl farm. There is such a
heavy pressure of gas that the drilling
is done in daytime, the we'll being
closed down at night.
No one was about the well at the
time and the thieves had clear field.
They stole new bull rope which cost
$65 few days ago, broke open tool
chest, stole lot of tools and clothing
belonging to the driller and took some
other articles.
The power house on Billy Patter-
sons leasewas also stripped Of brasses
and other junk. Mr.. Uhl, of the Six
Brothers Co., came down here yester-
day in search of their stuff but was
unable to find it.-Sentinel
