TWO Wheeling Crooks Try Shop
Lifting in Dry Good store In
Martins Ferry, and are Caught by
Marshal Erwin.
Yesterday evening about 4 o'clock the
people on Hanover and Fourth streets,
Martins Ferry. were startled by SEE
ing Marshal Erwin chasing two men up
Hanover and Fourth streets with re-
volver in his hand. The people be-
came much excited until the facts
could be learned, which are as follows;
Sporty Moran and Budsy Myers, both
of Wheeling, came over to Martin S
Ferry yesterday, but were soon under
surveillance of Marshal Erwin, who is
always on day turn. But last evening
they started out for business, and en-
tered j. E. Kirtz's dry goods store on
Hanover street, and asked to see some
fine silks. They carried with them
suit case, which they had contrived to
make the end as hinge, so as to easily
slip articles into it in quick order. The
clerk, Miss Mary Maders, waited on
them and showed them silks, but their
actions become suspicious and later
she noticed them slip bolt of silk in
their box, and as they asked to see
more silks she informed the clerks to
telephone for the police, and while this
was being done she kept on showing
G OF
suspicious and grabbed the box, but
not quick enough for the alert Miss
Maders, who pushed her hand through
the false end and secured the silks
they had placed there. Seeing this
they started to run, and as they left
the store they saw Marshal Erwin com
ing up strec4 and they started up the
street to Fourth and then up that
street, throwing the box In Theo. Snod-
grass grocery. Erwin gained on them
and fired one shot, but they kept on
going. His gun failed him and only
snapped, but he kept on in hot pur-
suit and gained, and as they neared
the end OF Fourth street they Jumped
a fence and through lot &c the al
ley. The marshal followed, put they
had disappeared. BY this time a large
crowd had gathered, and Erwin sus-
pected they had taken refuge in Henry
Lewis stable in the alley, between
Fourth and Third streets. He was
right, as he found them in the hay loft
in grain bin and brought them both
down and landed them in the city Jail.
Officer Campbell arrived during the
chase, but went past the stable, as he
thought they had gone for the river.
The catch by Erwin Is a good one, as
Chief Clemans stated they were wanted
in this city for petty larceny. The
silks they had secured at Krtz's
amounted to between $50 and $40. It
is not known when they will be given
hearing, but likely to-day. The chase
for the thieves was quite exciting and
attracted a large crowd, and all were
glad they were caught.

As stated in yesterdays Register the
important question before the Potters'
session on Thursday was the wage list.
The matter was the most important is
sue of the session, as the potters in
the east claimed that it was not fair
to them, while it was satisfactory to
the workmen in the western districts
The matter was taken up in the
morning and when the noon recess was
taken it was still under discussion. 1t
went over until the afternoon by spe
cial order.
Immediately upon converting in the
afternoon the discussion of the scale
was taken up again. The list was fin
ally adopted in almost the same form
as exists at present.
A resolution that the new executive
board go east Immediately and secure
some form of scale for the eastern
unions individually, was passed, the
vote being: Ayes SO; nays 6; absent 3.
The new board has not been ap-
pointed as yet. 1t will consist of the
president, secretary and one member
from each branch of the trade. This
matter went over until this morning
at $3.50 O'Clock.
The kiln drawers wages were made
$3.50 per kiln, and that of boss kiln
drawer $1.75 per kiln.
The Office of national statistican was
merged into the Office of president ~
resolution, it being the sense of the
session that the president had ample
time to attend to the duties of statisti-
clan and those of his own.
The hotel ware jiggers were not
mentioned in the unfair list. The men
will continue to draw the same wage
rate as previous to the adoption of the
list.
During the morning session the trus-
tees report was presented to the ses-
sion. 1t showed a large increase in
membership during the past year, and
also large increase in funds. 1t was
referred to the finance committee.
The session legalized the strike at
Bordentown, N. ]. The settlement is
all satisfactory and all back pay has
been awarded.
The business before the convention
is well on the road to completion. There
yet remains the settlement of some
special business before an adjournment
can be sighted. The annual election
OF officers will be the last matter TAX
en- up.

Explosion at the State Hos
pital.

A natural gas explosion occurred at
the Athens State Hospital Monday af-
ternoon. The engineer, James Smith,
and fireman, Scott Duncan, were noti-
fed by the gas company to turn off the
gas for a short time. They have sew
en- furnaces under their care and be-
sides the shutting eff at the regulator,
they also supposed that they had shut
off at the entrance to each furnace,
but such it seems was not the case
probably on account of defective
valve. In about a half hour Duncan
thought he heard gas escaping in one
Of the furnaces and went to investi-
gate. AS he neared the mouth of the
furnace the explosion occurred, blow
ing on the furnace doors and the
fiames leaping out severely burned
him about the head and face. 1t ap-
pears that the gas had been collecting
from the time it was supposed to have
been shut OFF and when stored in suf-
ficlent quantity had ignited from the
hot walls of the furnace thus causing
the explosion. Three of the furnaces
were somewhat damaged, probably to
the extent OF two hunrded dollars

One Of the Largest Oil Sales
Ever Made in Ohio.

Bowling Green, O., Jan. I'm. e.
Chidester and j. G. Hlckox, of Bowl
ing Green, Henry Norton, of Allen
town, N. Y, and w. s. Raydure, of
Connaut Lake, Pa, have purchased
the Palmer Oil company's property.
The amount paid was 100000, the
money being delivered this morning at
the offices of the company at Fostorla.
M. F. Chidster had an optlcn on the
property, it is understood and the Ohio
Oil company was figuring on taking
half interest in the same. In fact at
noon yesterday the company was still
figuring and expecting to land the deal.
The Ohio company thought the prop
erty could be had for $275, 900 and were
negotiating on that basis. Hickox
stepped in with pot of money and in
short order closed the deal. 1t Is un-
derstood that Hickox holds half in
terest and Chidster, together with Nor
ton and Raydure, have the other half.
Eventually the latter gentlemen will
no doubt have a third interest. Mr..
Chidster represents himself in the
deal and Mr.. Hlckox has several as
ISOLATED with him, it Is understood.
The Palmer Oil company's property
has daily production of 500 barrels.
Five hundred and twenty acres are
owned in fee simple, most Of which is
in the best oil producing territory in
Bloom and Portage townships, Wood
county. Besides this, leases on 5225
acres go with the sale. Most Of this Is
in Montgomery and Portage townships
Between 500 and 600 acres are now
operated, though not all drilled, while
the rest has not yet been touched.
The Palmer Oil company was start
ed by 16 persons, who each put in a
hundred dollars. Since its organiza-
tion several years ago this partnership
has accumulated immense wealth and
have paid heavy dividends to the orlgi-
nal 16. The price paid is at the rate
of 5000 barrel settled production.
This is one of the largest cash sales
ever made in Ohio.

A New B. & o. Line.

A special from Clarksburg, w. Va,
in yesterdays Parkersburg News was
as follows, and is interesting to Mari
eta people:
1t comes from reliable source that
the B. & o. is contemplating building
a line from Salem to Marietta, Ohio.
The proposed route is to run down
Buckeye through Doddridge county,
across to Middle Island in the southern
edge of Tyler county, then through
Pleasants county and Wood county to
Wllllamstown, where the Ohio river
will be crossed and connections made
with the GAINESVILLE and Ohio River
Read, the latter extending to Zane
Vile, where connection is made with
the main line of the B. &c o. The dis
tance from Salem to Marietta over the
proposed roCte Is something over so
miles. At Wiliamstown the Ohio riv-
er is much narrower than at Parkers-
burg and the approaches much better.
so that it would be found very feas-
ible and easy to construct a bridge
there.
1t is claimed that this prospective
route would shorten the distance to
Chicago and make the route much
more direct than over the B. G. o. s.
w. by way of Cincinnati and the
Monon route.
B. & o. Surveyors car is now sta
toned at Salem and large corps OF
surveyors is busily engaged in survey
ing the proposed route, or at least it
is semi-officially stated that that is
The surveyors business there.
