Oil Notes.

In the Wolf Summit field, in Har-
| rison county, Judge Nathan Golf con-
tinues his run of good luck on his own
farm. 1t was perhaps the wisest de-
cision, in which his own interests
were involved that the Judge ever
reached when he decided to operate
and develop his own property. He
has drilled some IA wells and has not
encountered duster. No. 16 has
just been completed and is making 40
barrels DAY, and from all his wells
he can see ! 200 barrels added to his
credit balance in the Eureka pipe line
each "a hours. At the present mar
ket price the production is worth
more than 81, 900 day.
In Greene county south of the Bris-
toria pool, and 1000 feet south OF the
famous Emma Woods No | the South
Penn Oil Company has drilled in
test well on the Armstrong Grim farm
and has show for producer. The
hole filled up 1000 feet with fluid
from the first pay.
In the suit of the Eclipse Oil Com
pany against the South Penn Oil Com
pany, to get possession of the Garner
farm, east of Proctor, Wetzel county,
w. Va, the Supreme Court of West
Virginia refused to grant rehearing.
The case had been carried up from
the District Court of Wetzel county
and decision was rendered in favor
of that defendent company, sustaining
the lower court. The refusal to grant
rehearing makes final disposition
OF the case, and the South Peen Com
pany will now proceed to develop the
farm,

HOW LAWTON DIED.
Wellsburg Boy was an Eye Witness Of
His Tragic Death.

Cliff Shearer, OF Wellsburg, a
member of Company K Sd United
States infantry. now doing duty in
the Philippines, has written an in

death of General Lawton. He says
cat the time the rebel bullet came
General Lawton was standing near
the center and sixty feet in the rear
of Hawthorne's battalion. Lieut..
Fuller was standing near A short
time before he had been passing up
and down the line, talking to the men
and joking about what would hap

at them. He had been viewing the

Sergeant had planned and carried
out the attack.
Sargent said he, sis making

Fuller. "In the lungs, | think was

words he uttered. AS he staggered
the officers caught him, and in three
minutes he breathed his last.

Change Of Conductors.

Capt. Walker, of Fairmont, an old
employe OF the b. & O., has been given
charge Of the G.. g. b. passenger train,
and Capt. James Flanagan has been
transferred to another portion OF the
road. The people generally desired
that Capt. Flanagan be retained on
the line as he is perhaps better known
and liked here than any other conduc-
tor in the service. While this is true,
we feel pleased, il the change is to be
made, that Capt. Walker is to be
given the place. The people will find
him to be a genial, pleasant gentle
man, and next to Capt. Flanagan Will
Gil the bill so far as the people are
concerned. -Philippi Plaindealer.

CORRECT FIGURES.
Wheeling Papers Have Been Making
Mistakes About the Increase In Tax
able Property in this County.

Both the Register and the lntelli.
gencer have had several articles in
their columns referring to the in
crease OF one per cent that has Ia
ken place in Monongalia and sneer
ing at US for being tiekled over the
great gain. IF the gain had been
but one per cent we would never
had said word but it is nearly
eleven per cent.
The figures will show this on their
face, In 1890 there was in this conn-
" on both sides OF the river S., $50,
22S worth OF all kinds of property
that enters into this report. This
year there is Sl,S37.23 The dif
ference is $407 ,00S as q simple sum
in arithmetic will show. Finding
the per cent this is OF the total in
1890 it shows lo.6 per cent.
The Wheeling papers have been
referring to $4,000 increase as the
whole amount, This is for the sec
ond district which includes the west
side of the river; on this side the real
increase took place aud greater part
of 1t was in Morgan district. They
will please make the proper correc
ton We don't want to be placed
before the state as being pleased
with an increase of one per cent
when we are really satisfied With
nearly eleven.

TREMENDOUS SENSATION.
Fairmont Minister Alleged to
be a Forger.

Has Left the Town Hurriedly-Twenty
Thousand Dollars Alleged to Have
Been Seeured-His Grandmother the
Greatest Loser-Rey. L. w. Barr the
Man Under Accusation.
Rev. L. W. Barr of Fairmont is
missing and it is alleged that he has
committed forgeries aggregating TWEEN
ty thousand dollars. Five thousand
OF this he is said to have taken with
him. The affair has created ire
mendous sensation in Fairmont and
will in this place when it becomes
known.
The forgeries were mainly on his
grandmother Mrs. Margaret White.
She is the heaviest loser. All of the
banks Of Fairmont have lost various
sums but none of them were hit very
heavily.
The first discovery OF the crime was
made about two months ago and sub
sequent investigation has revealed
them in all Of their magnitude.
About week ago the erring min
lister left Fairmont and his present
whereabouts are not known. He had
been recently conducting revival at
Spencer and had just come back from
there before he left for good.
tits not thought that he will be
prosecuted as no steps have as yet
been taken to find him and bring him
back.
The reasons for his having commit
ted the crimes If they have been COM
mitted and there seems to be no rea-
son to doubt it are not known. He
was a man of strictly temperate habits
and was not gambler and made nc
investments as far as can be foun d
out that would take such vast sums
of money to keep up.
He has been pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church at Fairmont for the past
five or six years until recently when
!. he was requested to resign and Rev.
i'll. G. Stoetzer was called to the pas
torate
Mr.. Barr had always been popular
in Fairmont and the family was one
of the best in the city. They have
been abandoned by him in his flight
and are of course inconsolable over the
turn affairs have taken.

DRIVES A GOOD BARGAIN.
Which 1t Had No Use to War
Department.

The navy department has effected a
profitable transaction with the war
department and rid itself of what was
to the navy useless ship. During the
war the government bought for $685.
600 large tug, owned by a Boston
concern which made the effort to
raise the Maine at Havana. The boat
was armored and equipped with a
one-pounder and used for the defense
of Boston harbor at the urgent re-
quest of people in the neighborhood,
who were terror-stricken over the re-
ports of the approach of the enemy.
The tug, of course, was never used in
actual engagement, and with the end
of the war it was found to be of little
service to the navy.
Recently a board of naval officers at
the Boston yard placed the value of
the tug at $4,000 and recommended
that it be sold at auction. 1t seemed
to the naval officials that this was a
sacrifice, and they were glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity of
transferring the boat to the war de-
partment, where it will be added to
the quartermaster's department.
The original cost of the tug-$25,-
0OO-was also transferred to the army
account, SO that the naval records will
show the purchase and use of the
boat during the war at no expendi-
ture of money.

GOLD COINS FOR BUTTONS.
New Mexican StOckman Dasxles the
Men at the Yards with His
Glittering Garments.

Benson Mckee, who reached Chi
cago the other day on horse" train
from New Mexico with carload Of
''bronchos" for the east. caused a
mild sensation at the Stock Yards
with his fad of wearing gold coins for
buttons. His great coat was fastened
with double eagles, his vest with five
dollar pieces, and his coat had eagles
glistening in the buttonholes and
above the tails. From chain at
tached to pin in his necktie hung a
three-dollar gold piece, of which few
ever were coined. He had money to
wear"
When he swung off of the rear of a
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy ca
boose, the Stock Yards men opened
their eyes and stood amazed. He
gave some orders about feeding his
stock, walked over to the Transit
house and sauntered through the
horse pavilion. From there he went
back to the yards and at four o'clock
boarded an east-bound "horse train"
for the east. Before he left he said:
II come from Albuquerque, where |
have large stock farm. The idea of
wearing gold pieces for buttons is
only an eccentricity of mine, and as
the money is my own l see no reason
why cannot wear it if please"

ern such a great province-a post of
great power and honor. He is like
the viceroy of India and could hard
ly hold higher place in the empire"
The minister said in regard to the
commerce of the United States with
China that it would grow if this coun-
try treated his people well.
The Chinese legation is a large, gray
stone mansion. nearly new, at the cor.
ner of Nineteenth and Q streets north
west. The neighborhood is most aris-
tocratic, and the house is one of the
finest and most thoroughly modern in
Washington. 1t was built by capt.
talist for his home and the fact that
he leased it to the Chinese goes far to
discredit the gossip about Washington
that this oriental displomatic family
tests the endurance of the interior of
a building. 1t is asserted that reckless
Americans, rushing pell-mell to re-
oeption given on a generous planatthe
Chinese legation, have wrought havoc
with hangings, rugs, bric-a-brac and
woodwork. =
At the residence of Minister WI it
may be said that the latchstring is out
