from this parish, the resignation to
take effect July Is. This action on his

were heard. During the time Mr..

JURY IS HUNG,
And Falls 10 Reach a Verdict In the Howard
Case.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 25.-The jury
in the Howard case reported at 5:13
p. m. that the jurors were unable to
make a verdict. The jury took the
case at 2:30, and nearly three hours
were spent in the jury room in an
effort to reach an agreement. A hung
jury has been generally predicted.
Judge Cantrill did not discharge the
jury and it will report again at 8
o'clock this morning. Arguments
were concluded this morning. The evil
dence was presented against Howard
in a mastery style. While there was
no effort at oratory, the argument was
strong. 1t is generally believed that
the jury is hopelessly hung. and that
a verdict will not be found. as it is
supposed that the jurors are divided on
the question as to Howards guilt or
innocence.

Big GuSher.

One of the largest wells ever struck
in the oil bearing region of Ohio or
West Virginia was drilled into the pay
Saturday night by the South Penn Oil
Company.
The well is a wildcat, as it is about
y miles from any producing field. 1t
is situated in Lewis county, about u
miles west of Weston, w Va, and
was found in the Gordon sand.
The production of the well is varl-
ously estimated at from 1000 to 5000
barrels per day. The exact yield has
not yet been determined, as no gauge
Of the well has been made, but it will
run up into thousands.
1t is said that the South Penn Oil
Company has almost two counties un-
der lease, and no approach short of 12
miles can be made TO the wonderful
we'll.

ARTERIES SEVERED.
Mrs. D. 0. Hedges Cuts Her Finger on a
Lamp Chimney.

Mrs. d. o. Hedges was the victim of
IN accident which. while it inflicted
painful injury on her person, was yet
cry fortunate in the outcome, as seri-
Gus results were narrowly averted.
She accidentally brushed against =
lamp, which was setting on a sewing
machine. dashing the lighted vessel to
the floor. The burning oil was poured
over the floor and set fire to the room,
but the blaze was extinguished with
very little trouble.
In endeavoring to catch the lighted
lamp, Mrs. Hedges cut her fingers quite
severely on the chimney. The first,
st tcond and third fingers were cut to
the bone and the arteries were severed.
Prompt medical attention was secured
and the injured member was dressed.
The wounds are painful and will pre-
vent any use of the hand for some
line.
