OIL FIELDS
OF FLORENCE
Attention of Outside
Capitalists
TERRITORY is SPREADING

The oil fields of Florence are at
tracing the attention of operators
all over the state. and it looks now
as if the stock which is owned by
local and other companies will adj
vance in price within the next few
months with a bound. The atten-
tion of operators and investors is
being attracted to oil stock and oil
fields and now 1t is considered that
stock in an oil proposition is worth
more than mining stock, and in
fact, investors are turning their
attention to oil entirely and min
ing stock is relegated to the back
ground.
More attention is given to the
Florence fields than any other To-
cality in the state, and the fields
are being expanded to the south
more than in any other direction
The largest strikes are. being
made there now aud it bids fair to
prove the coming field. About
eighteen months ago the locality
in which the recently formed Key
stone Oil company will operate
was considered barren, and this
goes to show that oil exists where
it is found. The entire southern
field seems to be underlaid with
the product and the increase this
year over last will be hard to est
mate.
The Keystone Oil company,
which will operate in that region,
has ground right in the heart of
this field where so many producers
have been drilled lately
The stock is being sold rapidly,
and today 5000 shares were sold
to Doc. Warner of Chandler and
10000 shares were sold yesterday
to Mr. Stewart of Victor Each
of these purchases was made Mt
five cents share. The sales now
aggregate 375,000 shares, 100000
of this amount having been sold
to Carter & Van Meter of Colora-
do Springs Sunday. Aside from
the above there are three or four
other deals hanging fire which will
probably be consummated this
week
The company has selected four
locations for probable sites for
wells, but the exact location for
the first one has not yet been de-
termined upon The locations
which have been made are where
the oil indications show most
pialnly'
In that vicinity. and in fact, ad-
joining the Keysone company's
holdings, nearly every company
operating in the field is either
drilling new wells or pumping pro-
ducers, and the heaviest producers
which have been struck this year
are those found in the oil fields to
the south.
Weaver d Co. have drilled six
holes and have encountered OF in
five of them; The United Oil com
pany has drilled into oil in nearly
every hole it has sunk; the Rocky
Mountain and Florence Oil com

who have assayed feminine apparel in,
the form of the more distinctive species
of shirt waists something to think
about. This, to me, is as it should be.
For the past three or four seasons we
have industriously attempted to ape
masculine man in the making of our
garments, and now that we are at
tempting 10 once more return to our
own it would be quite to the liking of
womankind to go to such lengths that
it would be impossible for the feminine
man TO follow us. Shirt waists for men
are impossible in winter, and
it is scarcely possible that they will
attempt to reproduce for their use the
elaborate garments of this kind that
mark the opening of the fall season,
though | did see men wearing shirt
waists at Newport during the past
summer that ri-aled in gorgeousness
anything the fair summer girl at
tempted. But let them attempt the
separate waist of this fall--and fail.
For morning wear the flannel waists
with fancy effects and Persian designs
are decidedly beautiful. Still more
stylish effects, intended for matinee
and similar afternoon functions in the
city, or for afternoon receptions and
teas in the country, are of peau de sole
and fancy silks, trimmed with velvet
and laces.
OF these new blouses the sleeves are
one of the main features, and most of
them have ruffles, or some sort of
putting either at the elbow or wrist,
put on doubel or single.
One of these dainty afternoon
blouses, worn by New York belle who
Is now entering her second season, is
of peau de sole. 1t is an effective af-
fair, and shows great amount of hand
work upon il. In color it is black. The
vest is formed of wee tucks, all made
by hand, and at each side the blouse
is finely shirred and slightly full,
caught in a deep pointed girdle. A
beautiful piece of guipure lace is over
the shoulder, and extends to point to
the waist line in front, this forming

MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED.
A Decision as 10 Riparian Rights L.
Rendered by IA Federal Judge.

Mobile, Oct. 2.-Judge Toulmin, of
the United States circuit court, yes
terday rendered an important deci-
sion against the city of Mobile. The
suit involved the ownership of the
wharf property along the river front
within the limits of the city. The
question was one of riparian rights
and ownership, and Judge Toulmin
decided that while the legal title to
the land was in the name of the city
it was estopped from asserting the
title because it had granted property
owners the right to build wharvea
and bulkheads.
This litigation carries with it the
possession of the entire river front,
valued at $20,000,0O0, and this suit,
while it involved only about 100000
of values, has settled the law as to
the ownership of the river front and
it's many valuable improvements,
sheds, warehouses, docks and mills.
The city claimed it's title under an act
of the general assembly of Alabama
of 1867, granting it the shore and soil
under Mobile river. The case was
carried from the city and state courts
to the federal court.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1.-The confed-
crate soldiers home, just east of this
city, was destroyed by fire at 9:3O
Monday morning. There were no
lives lost. There were about 20 vet
ing, some of them being invalids who
were rescued by their comrades. The
loss is estimated at $25,0O0, covered by
$4,000 insurance. The home was

A WELL-KEPT SECRET.
Miners Leaders Hold n Two Days,
Conference, but Refuse TO Give Gus
Any Information.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 2.-The
leading representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America from
all the coal mining states have
been in session at the Van Winkle
hotel here for two days and left last
night with the secrets of their sea-
sions well kept. Nothing can be
learned here by representatives OF
the operators or any one else as to
what matter was under consideration.
The operators are inclined to be-
ieve that plans were discussed of spe-
cial application to West Virginia and
at the same time that some move
ment was under way involving all of
the mining districts. 1t is said that
President Mitchell could not be pres
ent on account of sickness, but even
this could not be confirmed from
any of those who were in attendance.
1t is generally believed here that
plans were considered for the relief
of the Thacl1er district in West Vir-
ginia, where trouble between the
miners and operators has existed for
some time.

FOUGHT BRAvELY.
Soldiers of Unfortunate Company @
Kill 1i0 Bolomcn Before They
Were AnnihiInted,

Manila, Oct. l.--Gen. Hughes, from
the island of Samar, reports the ar
rival of Sergt. Markley and one pri-
vate at Tannan. from the fight at
Balangiga. where Al men of company
c, Ninth infantry, were killed by in
surgents, who attacked the troops
while at breakfast Saturday last. The
men who have reached Tannan say
that the officers of the company, who
were at first reported to have es-
capped, We're killed with the majority
of the company. The troops were
attacked, while unprepared, by 400
bolomen, of whom the Americans
killed about 14O. Many of the SOL
diers were killed in their quarters be-
fore they had time to grasp their RI
fles.
Gen. Hughes is going to the scene
of the disaster and will personally
command the troops.
The conditions in Tayants and
Batangas are not at all reassur-
ing. The worst form of guerrilla war
fare prevails there. The insurgent
forces are distributed, under cover,
along every road and trail, and wait
for travellers in ambush. The insur-
gent leader Caballos (who formerly
belonged to Gen. Cailles' command,
but who refused to surrender with
Cailles) is retreating to the noun
tains. The main forces of the insur-
gents are scattered in bands over the
province, where they dig up rifles
when there is an opportunity to use
them.
Washington, Oct. LIN addition to
the enlisted men, three commissioned
officers of company c, Ninth infantry,
are supposed now to have been killed
in the action in Samar, Philippine is
lands, last Saturday.
The officers are: Capt. Thomas w.
Connell, First Lieut. Edward A. Bum
pus. Maj. Surgeon r. S. Griswold.
The father of Capt. Connell resides
in New York city. He telegraphed to
the war department Monday that he

| quartermaster of the Ninth regiment
saying that his son had been killed
in action. He asks for confirmation

able at this time to confirm the in

The island of Samar lies north of
Luzon, from which it is separated by
the Strait of Bernardino. 1t is 147
miles long and about so miles wide,
and it forms one OF the provinces of
the Philippines. The island is thick
ly wooded, has rivers of considera bic
size and lofty and rugged mountains.
Previously TO the revolution against
Spain the island was populous. The
inhabitants are chiefly descendants of
the Spaniards by Indian mothers,
and their number, according to the
last census, is upward of 17s,000. Sa-
mar produces hemp, wax, mother of
pearl, tortoise shell, indigo and tre-
pang. Its trade is principally with
the other islands of the Philippine
group and with the Pelew islands.

Sensible women have tired of the home

women to wear their hair puffed out
in roll over their foreheads. But like
all other fashions it took leader to
change the established order of
things. The lesser lights in the world
of the mode could not do it even if they
would. Now the leaders have spoken,
and the pompadour has passed into his
tory.
But what has taken the place of the
pompadour? A decided contrast, of
course. The very latest coiffures show
the hair dressed low, waved prettily,
and sometimes parted. When not part
ed it is usually loosely drawn back

worn as low as desired. For evening
wear these coils are worn very low, in

the neck.

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
State Convention Nominatcs Mayor
Seymour, of Newark, for Gov srnor.


Trenton, n. j, Oct. 2.-MayoI
james NJ. Seymour, of Newark, was
yesterday nominated on the second
ballot as the democratic candidate
for governor of New Jersey, in a con-
vention that at times was turbulent
in the extreme, but for all that was
free from more display of i'll temper
than is frequently the case at con-
ventions. The first voting showed
that the Seymour and anti-Seymour
forces were almost evenly divided
and had the anti-Seymour leaders
been able to concentrate their vote
on a single candidate they might
have won. However, there was q
strong undercurrent among the dele
gates for Seymour, and it was only
through the generalship of the lead
ers of the anti-Seymour forces that
the latter were kept in line.
The nomination of Mayor Seymour
was defeat for ex-United States
Senator Smith and his forces.
The anti-Seymour people made an
effort to concentrate their vote on cx-
Congressman Thomas NJ. Ferrell of
Gloucester county, and succeeded to
the extent of securing for him ON the
first ballot 4S0 votes, which was only
eight less than the vote given to Sey-
mour. There were 1,143 delegates in
the convention and on the second bal
lot the scattering vote went largely
to Seymour and accomplished his
nomination.
The platform adopted was confined
TO state issues and embraced a gen.
eral condemnation of republicans in
the conduct of state affairs.
Chairman Gourley called the con-
vention to order about 1890 and
named ex-Gov. Woodruff as tempo
rary chairman. At the close of Wood
ruff's address, in which he referred
| touchingly to President Mckinley, the
band played one verse of Nearer,
NY God to Thee" The vast assem-
blage arose and sang the verse of the
| hymn.
When the counties had been called
and before any decision had been rem
dered by Chairman Woodruff on the
two contending delegations from Es-
sex county, the convention broke
loose an tumult. Finally Mr.. Crane
managed to be heard long enough to
say that the list he presented had .

of the delegates.
Finally Chairman Woodruff decided
the point made by Mr.. Crane as well
taken, the result of which decision
gave the anti-Seymour men the Essex
representation on the committee ON
credentials and permanent organiza-
tion. Cheers for Crane followed and
then began more disorder.
Finally a recess was declared and 10
was nearly o'clock when the con-
vention was called to order after the
| recess.

ferred. To be once more rid of tho
pompadour and the elaborate decora-
tons worn in the hair seems almost
like the dawn of the millennium.
Great is green, and, in the slang
of the day, we might add "the greens
are great" Green is undoubtedly the
favorite of all the fall shades, and it
is being worn everywhere and worked
into every conceivable garment. In
tones, it varies from the palest shim-
mering silver green to the pronounced
hunters, olive and myrtle shades. OF
all the tones the hunters green is the
one most frequently seen, especially
for street and afternoon wear. The
green in this case is almost sure to be
enlivened with little touches of black
and white. Green broadcloths, chevi-
OTIS, venetian cloths, and in fact all the
heavier fall goods are proving popular
for tailor-made suits.

Soldier who Expressed JOY Mt shoot
Ing of President Mckinley
Is Condemned.

Washington, Oct. IA most unusual
case has been reported to the war de-
partment. 1t is that of Private Peter
j. Devine, troop Z, Eleventh cavalry,
who was tried by general court-mar-
tial at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, on
the charge of "using disrespectful
words against the president of the
United States," in violation of the
nineteenth article of war. 1t appears
from the evidence that when the news
of the shooting of President Mckinley
was received at Fort Ethan Allen, De-
vine expressed great satisfaction over
the crime and applied an uncompli-
mentary epithet to the late president
His comrades roughly handled him be-
fore he could be secured in the guard
house. He was found guilty of the
charge by the court and sentenced to
be dishonorably discharged from the
service of the United States, forfeiting
all pay and allowances due him and to
be confined at hard labor for one year.
The record of the case having been re-
ferred to Maj. Gen. Brooke, at New
York, commanding the department of
the east. he indorsed it as follows:
sit is the opinion OF the reviewing au-
thority that the punishment adiudged by
the court is not a sufficient penalty for the
fiagitous act the prisoner was found to
have committed. 1t is not within the power
of the reviewing authority to increase the
punishment but in order that the prisoner
may not wholly escape punishment the
sentence Is approved and will be duly eX-
ecuted at Fort Columbus, N. Y, to which
place the prisoner will be sent under proper

face of recrudescence of organized
operations by the Beers and of the

the Standard, "that the government
will lose no time In sending out such

that Lord Kitchener is in a difficult

out of a desire to avoid summoning
parliament to vote the necessary sup

this be the case grave risk is being
run. Similar protests are made on

and miscalculations which have cost
the empire such terrible price,
says:
"A third campaign has now opened
in South Africa and there is no sign
that the government is doing any
thing to prepare for, possibly, the
dragging out of the war for several
