Gas Wells Sold.

very large sale OF natural gas pro-
duction near Weston has been made by
the Weston Petroleum Co., of this city,
in which Stiles Bros are largely inter-
ested, and by Frank Keyser, to Pitts
burg parties, who, it is said, will erect
and build carbon factory for the
manufacture Of carbons used in MAX
ing the electric arc lights.
The Weston Petroleum Co. sold two
gas wells one on the Lovett farm and
one on the Taylor farm, while Mr.. Key
ser sold one well in the same vicinity
The well on the Taylor farm before it
was closed in was flowing about six
million feet Of gas day and had
pressure of 900 podnds. That is a
heavier pressure than the Mountain
State Gas Co. has on its line and six
million feet day would supply Park
ersburg, Marietta and several other
towns at the same time, so it may be
seen that the well is large one. The
well on the Lovett farm has an output
OF four or five million feet day and
the Keyser well is about the same size.

Governor Shaw's Problem.

The death of Senator Gear, of Iowa
brings a new factor into the campaign
and will put Governor Shaw to the test
of wisdom. 1t is well known that he
would himself like to go to the senate,
but he could only reach such a result
by resigning and permitting the lieut.
enant governor to appoint or by sum-
moning the legislature in special ses-
sion to elect. Probably neither OF these
courses would be entirely pleasing to
the mass of Iowa Republicans. Self
interest would be manifest in the first
and the second would be needlessly ex-
penslve Whomsoever the governor
now appoints will have good chance
OF election when the legislature meets
in regular session and an election once
to the senate means in Iowa a strong
probability OF reelection during good
behavior. Thus the governor has at
once to wrestle with his own ambition
and his jealousles, IL he has them, and
we may look to the issue as a guide 10

+ telephone Will Be Used tc
Handle Trains.

Within the past few months there
have been number of experiments
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
with the long distance telephone for
the movement of trains. One of the
officials of the company is authority
for the statement that the new method
has proved very successful so far, and
that there is great probability that be-
fore very long the use of the telegraph
will be almost entirely abandoned.
In handling trains by telephone the
orders are taken by the operator and
repeated to the dispatcher. and so ex-
pert have some of the men become that
much time is saved. An experimental
line has been in operation on the Phil
adelphia Division for two months, and
there has not been particle of trou
BILE.
"The trouble of the system" said an
official means great deal to the rail-
road company and is most distinctly a
step in advance We will be able to
equip our offices with trained employees
men who have been in the train SER
vice and who are familiar with the OPP
Grafton of railroad from long practi-
cal experience. We have, and so have
all roads, trainmen who have become
injured while on duty who are not able
to do heavy work or who have lost one
or more limbs. Their minds are as
bright as ever and ;heir knowledge of
railroading unimpaired. 1t stands to
reason that these men can better meet
the emergencies that confront an oper-
ator than young and inexperienced
person who holds the position because
of knowledge of taiegraphy.
Take an old engineer who has
| roughed 1t for years. He knows the
whistle of every locomotive on his di-
vision, how long it takes to go from
one station to another and a thousand
and one details that eminently fit him
for tower operator. His experience
will be of benefit to the company, and
he will not have to waste the informa-
tion gathered during years of running
on the road. 1t strikes me that the
| telephone will come into very general
use for this purpose and give employ
ment to disabled engineers. conductors.

No Truth in the Report.

The adjutant general on Tuesday no.
tilted the war department that the to-
tai strength of the Ohio National
Guard during the year ending June 80,
1900, was 7091. The information is de-
sired in order that proper distribu-
tion of the appropriation made by con-
gres for National Guard purposes may
be made
The knowledge that the governor,
through the adjutant general, was in
communication with the war depart
ment awakened once more the rumor
that the government is ascertaining
the strength of the state troops in
view of a possibility of sending part
of them to China. Governor Nash said
yesterday that the story is absolutely
without foundation.
Governor Nash held Two conferences
with Adjutant General Guyger On
Tuesday and entertained General Dick
Of the military committee OF the house
at his Office for an hour last evening.
He insists, however, that the rumor to
which reference has been made is with
out foundation.-OhloS State Journal.

Motion For a New Trial.

Chillicothe, o., July IA motion
was filed by his attorney this after
noon. He sets forth 16 reasons why
the case should be heard over, the
principal ones of which are:
"The court erred because the court,
believing that the jury should be sent
to view the scene OF the crime, and
knowing that defendant desired the
jury to go and to go himself, neverthe-
less made its consent to allowing the
jury to go without the defendant on
the waving by the defendant of his
right to accompany the jury; and de-
fendant desiring jury to go, but at the
same time believing that much of ben
eft would be lost if he could not have
the opportunity of naming on the
ground to the persons selected, the
points and places to which he desired
the attention OF the jury to be directed,
was constrained to consent that the
jury should go without him.
"Fhat one person, towit, James
Buchanan, was so hard of hearing as to
the greater part of the testimony he
did not and could not hear 1t, and this
fact was unknown to the defendant or
his counsel.
For irregularity and improper con-
duct on the part of the assisting pro-
scouting attorney in declaring to the
jury that the protection of the peoples
homes was a matter above and beyond
the law, by which the defendant was
prevented from having fair trial"
Error of law occurring at the trial
each and all of which errors affected
the substantial rights of the defendant
and prevented him from having a fair
and impartial trial"

Trolley Cars in London.

An American street car man who has
been locking over the English field
says he regards London as the best
missionary territory for the street car
men and the electrical engineer. Lon
don has more traffic in the same space
than any other spot in the old world,
and the work for trolley cars, when
they are rightly established, will be up
to the limit of their capacity. Loads
may be hauled continuously, with cars
following each other as closely as they
steadily moving back and forth. and
nowhere else would so many passen-
gers be found anxious to travel ter
ritory that can be covered completely
with so few miles of track and equip
ment. London is poorly served in the
way of surface transit, and the cab
system is an abomination to anybody
who has seen the convenience of the
American trolley car.

Lcndon. Not only is there field there
for the modern American street car
and for the American electrical engin
eer, but it is in London and in other
places where the people are that the
market for everything is to be found.
An open door in London is worth half
a dozen open doors in China, for the
open door in London discloses com
munity that is modern and ready to
use things that the seller has to offer.
1t is worth while for the American en-
gineer to keep his eye on China and
the Orient but at the same time he
will not overlook the fact that in Eu-
rope is the field for trade, because
there are the people who know how to
use the things we make and who need
them. London as commercial field
for the American is worth dozen
Cantons, because it has civilized pop
ulation that knows how to use modern
roducts.-Pittsburg Times.

Using Liquid Air

Liquid air will soon become an arti-
Gle of household use, and the makers
of it are preparing to supply it in
small quantities. 1t will be carried to
the consumers in protected cans, the
same as charged waters. the quantities
from twenty to thirty gallons. The air
can be kept for twenty-four hours and
can be dipped out with ladle as 1t is
needed, Liquid air Is as safe to handle
as bciling water, and about the same
precautions must be observed in its
use. A bowlful OF the air set in the re,
frlgerator will have the same effect as
a large cake Of ice; II will waste away,
but there will be no dripping and the
refrigerator will be absolutely dry.
The air can be utilized in thousand
ways. Wine and beer can be cooled in
a few moments by allowing a thin
stream Of the air to pass over the bot
tie. but too much would freeze the llq-
uid and burst the bottle. All manner
of clever appliances will probably be
invented and the use OF liquid air in
everyday life will be common

The Chinese Situation.

Yesterdays dispatches from China
were some relief from the horrifying
and blood-curdling rumors that have
been cabled from Shanghai during the
past week, but the unfortunate fact is
that no reason appears for placing any
credence in the joint telegram received
by Minister WI at Washington, stat
ing that the foreign ministers at Pekin
were safe on July 8. Nankin and WI
Chang are both fully 900 miles from
Pekin. and 1t does not appear that the
three Chinese ministers who have
united in the reply TO Minister Wu's
Inquiry have any reliable means of
communication with the capital. I'm
der these circumstances the reassuring
dispatch appears to be only a gentle
Chinese way of pro'onging anxiety OF
the world. In any event, it is over
week since they report the Legations
safe and a week is long time in the
present state of feeling in China.
The news of the capture of Tien Tsin
by the allied troops and the appoint
ment of Ii Hung Chang as viceroy OF
north China give brighter aspect tC
the situation than las appeared for
some time. The victory of the foreign
troops is most important because OF
the moral effect which it will have up
on the beligerent Boxers. The occupa-
tion of the walled city will also give
the allies a position of greater secur-
ity. The heavy casualties are deplored
fssSt when it is considered that an al
most overwhelming force of Chinese
was engaged, and that the odds are al
ways against an attacking force, the
losses are not greater than would have
been expected.
The transfer of Ii Hung Chang to
Pekin is significant, because it indi-
Gates that the dowaser empress is in
control of the government, and this
being the case, it is possible the state
ments that the government is doing all
in its power to protect the foreign le-
cations are true. Ii Ii Hung has the
support of the imperial government
his presence in Pekia is expected to be
followed by speedy suppression of the
anti-foreign agitation, with the active
cooperation of the foreign powers.
This, however, remains to be seen. The
old Chinese premier is very shlfty
and uncertain factor and it will be
well for the powers to be prepared for
the worst.--Ohio State Journal.
