WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10. 1900.

With mid-wintel comes the idea
that spring will ere long be upon us
and the altogether likely advent Of
that season suggests the idea of spring
election. In the latter connection we
would say that the Republicans of Ma
rietta seem to agree uniformly that
a party ticket is the thing to put before
che people for their consideration
when the time comes around.
There can be no question but what
city of our class should be handled
by a party, and create party responsi-
bil;y-likewise its glories If such there
may be.
The Office of Mayor is the principal
one for the people to fill, and We pre-
sumo that there will be found those
who will be willing to go before the
convention for the honor of the nom
ination and most likely subsequent
election to the office.
The only man of whom we have
heard for the office is attorney w. E.
Sykes. We saw Mr. Sykes last even
ing and made inquiries as to his feel
ings in regard TO the maycralty, and
ne stated to us that within few days
ne has made up his mind to go before
the convention. Mr., Sykes is 4 popular
man, and will doubtless make good
showing before the convention.

Is the Supply Of Electricity
InexhaustibIe?

The accident at one of the power
houses of the Consolidated yesterday
morning serves to impress upon the
mind of the thoughtful how largely de-
pendent humanity is upon electricity
fer essential conveniences. In cities
it is light and power in thousands of
cases, and practically the only means
Of transportation from one part of the
city to another. Without it troubles
come in troops. What would become
of the city il the supply should give
out?
That question seems foolish at first
glance, as if one should ask what
would ask what would become of the
world if the supply of air and water
should suddenly fail? But the paral-
Iel is not there Water and air are sub
stances of which nearly everything is
known. OF electricity almost nothing
is known. Science knows how to
gather 1t, and how to get power, heat
and light from it. But there is not a
living scientist who is at perfect rest
in regard to electricity, who knows
what it is and whence 1t comes. 1t is
not reasonable then, to surmise that
the supply may not be inexhaustible,
that natures store is being trespassed
upon and that, in time. the benefits
and blessings might be taken away?
Many men of average age now living
remember the discovery of natural gas
and the theories that were propounded
by chemists and scientists at the time.
ONE maintained chat the supply would
never give out; that within the body
of the earth the process of manufac-
ture was going on ceaseleSsly and that
If all the world had it and used it, still
there would be enough. No one so
holds today. Is it not reasonable, then
20 ask, is the supply of electricity be-
yond uhe probability of exhaustion?
There can be no positive answer based
upon knowledge that is scientifically
accurate and absolute. e.-COmmercial
Tribune.

The Coming Peach Crop.

Cincinnati, and for that matter the
rest of the country, is always interest
ed in the condition OF the peach crop,
especially in Georgia whence most Of
the supply of the luscious fruit comes
Mr.. Hale, one of the greatest producers
of peaches in the South thus writes
concerning the coming crop: "There
are in the whole state of Georgia about
100000 peach trees in orchards; one
half of these were in bearing in '9s and
yielded about $500 carloads of fruit
for shipment. The bearing trees that
produced this great crop were serious
ly injured by the heavy freezes of Feb
ruary, 80, so that taking the whole
state over, about so per cent of their
productive value was destroyed, but the
two and one-half million young trees
were not hurt in the least, and, up to
this date, are in splendid shape for the
coming seasons fruitage. So there are
now albcut three and three-quarters
millions Of profitable bearing peach
trees in the state CT Georgia, which
can easily give 5000 car lots of superb
peaches the ccming season. and the
destruction Of 10000 trees by Entomol-
cglst Scott can only reduce this one
per cent, which you see will noe SER
iously effect the market.-Clncinnat

A Peculiar Accident.

An earthen mClasses can containing
hot apple sauce, that set on the kltch-
en- stove at the home Of c. A. Slgfried,
on Avery street, exploded yesterday,
and the sauce was dashed into the face
and eyes of Mrs. Sigfried, who was
standing near the stove at the time.
Thehot sauce burned out the sight of
the left eye and seriously injured the
right eye. Her face and hands were
also badly burned.
The vessel containing the sauce
bursted when Mrs. Sigfred attempted
to remove it from the top of the stove.
The vision of the right eye was not
impaired by the accident, but the sight
of the left eye is entirely gone.
Mrs. Sigfried is the wife of C. A.

Important Decision Affecting
Oil and Gas Interests.
Plttsburg Dispatch, Jan. 5, 1900.

Pittsburg Dispatch, Jan. 5, 1900.
A decision of unusual importance 10
every person interested in The Gil and
gas business has been handed down by
the Supreme Court. 1t was in the case
OF Colgan against the Forest Oil Com
pany and settled question that has
been in doubt for long time
Colgan, the plaintiff, owned farm
OF go acres in Mllltown district. on
which che Forest Oil Company held a
lease drawn in the usual way. Five
wells had been drilled under the lease
on the eastern part of the tract. The
company also owned producing wells
OF moderate capacity on all the adjOin-
Ing farms on the north. west and south
located at distances varying from Is to
so feet from COlgan's line. Colgan in
sisted that the western half of his farm
should be developed by the drilling of
other wells upon it, and asserted that
he could get others TO drill the wells
II the defendant company would re-
lease that portion of the farm to him.
The company declined to drill the ad-
ditiOnal wells on the ground that they
were under no obligations to do so,
because they did not believe paying
wells could be obtained on that part of
the farm, and declined also to release
It to him for the reason that they con-
sidered they had complied with the
requirements of the lease and had
thereby kept it in force as to the whole
tract
Colgan then filed a bill in the Com
mon Pleas Court of Allegheny county
10 compel the defendant company to
drill on the western part of the farm
or forfeit the lease to him, and also to
compel the company to account for oil
which he alleged had been taken from
the western part OF his farm through
the wells on adjoining farms. The
court, after fully hearing the evidence,
made the decree prayed for in the bill,
but the Supreme Court reversed It and
orders the bill dismissed. The opinion

quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in the coun-

cription. 1t is, composed o fthe best

Mayor Richardson's report Of fines
and licenses collected by him between
April 1, 1899, and January l, 1900. was
handed in, but was net read in item
lied form, as 1t was too long, The to-
tai amount named Is s1,4G9.75, which
is the amount collected by the Mayor
and does not include the fines still un-
paid. The report was received and
fled
After the reading of the bills, Mayor
Richardson presented a bill for $1,000
for overcoats bought for the members
of the city police force He stated
That it was a necessity for the police
to have these coats and that he
thought the city should pay for them.
Objections were raised, owing to the
fact that allowing this bill would be
the establishment of bad precedent
as ether. employees of the city would
demand the same privileges as the po-
lice, as was shown by the fact that the
lamp trimmers and street men were
asking for overcoats such as the police
have. The motion to allow the bill
was made by Weed and roll call
showed a vote of to 4 in favor-Cur-
tis, Lambert Lorenz and Marsch vot-
ing against The chair decided the
motion was lost and his opinion was
upheld by the City Solicitor, who
claimed that it required seven votes to
make an appropriation of money.
Mayor Richardson did not agree, how
ever, and Council adjourned without
she question being settled.

Austin, Tex, June 1.-The Waters
Pierce oil Company, which was ex-
pected to have to leave the state
to-day, under an order of the su-
preme court of the United States
ruling it out under the Texas anti
trust law, was to-day re-iustated by
securing permit to do business in
this state as a Missouri corporation,
the permit having been issued this
afternoon by the secretary of state.
This ends the controversy which has
been on for several weeks, and the
old Waters-Pierce Oil Company will

the>color of their dress, in the fol
lowing ordered is the most fatal,
Austrian grey is the least fatal.
The proportions are red twelve, rifle
green seven, brown six, Austrian
blush grey five. There is one other
color, not mentioned, more fatal
and that is the pallor of weakness,
If it has commenced to paint its
deathly hue upon your cheek, and
the stomach weakens and life seems
not worth living, go to the druggist
and obtain a bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. It will give you
life aud energy. 1t does this by

He Got Vengeance.

Frank D. Hitler, father of Frank

Yesterday and proceeded to put a
few good fist licks in on the negro's
head and he pommeled him until
the negro got a chance to run
when he skedaddled, and as the
coon was going out of the door, a
small boy standing there reached
up and cracked him one in the jaw.
1t seems that the negro has been
way-laying white boys and tantal-
izing them by taking their hats and
cutting holes in them, and some
times he does not stop at this but
gives the boys a blistering. Frank
Hitler, Jr., happened to be caught
out by this coon, and the negro not
only whipped him, but cut holes in
his cap with his knife. Yesterday

and told his father that the negro
who had beat him aud cut up his
cap was in the hardware store men
