Altamont De Cordova.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Altamont de Cor
dova, brother of Alfred and Eustace de
Cordova, of the Stock Exchange house of
Alfred de Cordova & Co., died to-day from
pneumonia at his home in this city, aged
sixty-two. Mr.. De Cordova was born In
the Island of Jamaica and was of Spanish
parentage. He was for many years extern
sively engaged in the West Indian trade
as a merchant at Kingston, Jamaica.
Twelve or fourteen years ago he removed
to this city and established the brokerage
firm of Altamont de Cordova & Son, but
he practically retired from business several
years ago, although retaining an office in
this city.
Mr. De Cordova was always interested in
the struggle of the Cubans for freedom
and was the consignee of the Virginius,
which he refitted at Kingston not long be-
fore her seizure by the Spanish gunboat
Tornado in the fall of 1873. The Tornado
took her prize into the port of Santiago de
Cuba, and at the suggestion of Mr.. De Cor
dova on this fact being ascertained the
American consul at Kingston and the COM
modore of the British feet there sent dis
patches to Captain General Joveller, the
Spanish governor of Cuba, urging him to
stay the execution of the Americans and
Englishmen who were among the prisoners.
Their representations, it is said, were the
means of saving several lives, although
more than ninety of the sailors and Cuban
insurgents captured with the Virginus
were shot Among those executed were
the Cuban generals Varona and Agra
monte, both close friends of Mr.. De Cor
dova, who on the birth of a son SUISSE
quently named him Varona Agramonte de
Cordova- Mr.. De Cordova served JUS
tice of the peace in Kingston and as
member of the House Of Assembly of the
island, and was for time Peruvian consul
at Kingston.

Many Independent Holes Being Sunk
Good Strike in Grant.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Ind, April 5.-The OPEN
ing of the spring campaign in the Indiana
oil field may now be considered on, al
though there will be lively increase in
operations before the month is out, and it
will not be unexpected if there is another
big increase, both in completed wells and
new work under way, when the report for
the close of April appears. There is a
substantial increase in operations, and the
outlook for more drilling this summer than
for years is excellent. The wildcatter has
been more than busy the past month, but
with all his efforts no new strikes that
have created much excitement have been
made except the we'll of the Lakewood
Oil Company on the j. r. Davis farm. in

field. and about mile in advance to the

of an extensive area of undeveloped terri
tory.
This month will see something opened
up somewhere in the Indiana field, for the
wildcatter will prod around in many I'M
explored spots in his endeavor to locate
some new producing territory for the prod
uct that is now bringing a price highly
favorable to the oil man, farmer, laborer
and business men for the accumulation of
comfortable bank balances. The Ohio Oil
Company has completed Well No. A. on the
L. B. Landes farm, in Section IL, Van Bu-
rem township, Grant county, and it started

FLORA. Ind, April 5.-The farmers in
the eastern part of Carroll county seem
determined to compel the company owning
the Logansport and Burlington turnpike to
abandon the road. Not satisfied with burn
ing two tollhouses Tuesday night and blow
ing up bridge with dynamite, they blew
up another bridge last night, over Rock
creek, four miles north of Deer creek. thus
rendering traffic over the road from Car
roll to Logansport out of the question.
The mob last night consisted of about
$50 masked men. while that of Tuesday
night was composed of twice that many.
The war against the company seems to be
a determined one, and 1t is likely that 1t
will be continued until the company either
sells the road or opens it to free travel.
A reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the
leaders of the mobs has been offered
