IN NEW YORK OIL FIELDS.
A Great Revival of Work I'm the Al
IeGanN RegiOn.

BUFFALO, n. Y, April 5.-There is a
great revival of work in the Allegany
County oil fields and every available bit
of old territory viii be worked and sew
eral thousand dollars viii be spent in tor
pedoing and cleaning out old wells So
long oil remains above the dollar
mark. it is calculated that a profit can
be secured in the old fields.
Last month twenty-eight wells were
finished in the Allegany fields, with a
new daily production of sixty seven bar
rels. OF these wells four We're "gassers"
and none was "duster" The best well
has a ten-barrel production and was
drilled in the Nile pool between Bolivar
and Friendship, where a promising new
extension has been struck.
In the Pikeville district a fourth sand
has been found that promises oil in pay
ing quantities and in the Gaines district
deep tests are being made with view 10
tapping a paying sand below what is
known as the Seney formation, the oil
from which attracted spectators to the
Pine Creek country less than a year ago.
The Standard Oil Company is interested
in these deep tests. The cost of finishing
a well varies from 81 800 to s., 100, accord
ing to whether the drilling is done in
the hills or in the valleys, and already
thirty-five wells are drilled, with twenty
five rigs -nEder way. One deep test now
being made is for a well in the town OF
Amty which was located by a spiritual
list and which is g. 100 feet deep, with no
oil.

FIGHT OVER A GUARDIANSHIP.
The Case of Flora HaIloweII to BE
Decided Today.

The question of the proper guardian
ship of Flora Hallowell, the fifteen-year-
old adopted daughter of the late Joel
Hallowel, will this morning occupy the
attention of Justice Cole, sitting for pro
bate business The matter will come up
on the return to a rule issued against
Mrs. A A. Maxim, the legally appointed
guardian of the girl. requiring her to
show cause why she should not be re-
leved from her guardianship.
The petition for the rule issued against
Mrs. Maxim was made by Dr. George b.
Cock, who states that Joel Hallowell
desired that he should care for her. In
addition to this DR. Cock states that he
was informed by Flora Hallowell that
she was influenced by Mrs. Maxim to sign
a petition to the presiding justice of the
Orphans Court asking that she be ap-
pointed her guardian.
Hallowell. who was a veteran of the
civil war died February last and a
week later Flora Hallowell presented d
petition to Justice Cole, asking that Mrs.
Maxim be appointed her guardian. DR..
Cock, however. states in his petition for
the rule to show cause that Hallowell
asked him TO care for the girl, and at
Hallowells request she turned over to
him $50 in cash and d pension draft for
$36
Since the death of her father the girl
has been staying with her guardian. at
the Crosby House, until few days ago,
when she went to DR.. Cocks residence,
326 Indiana Avenue. Tuesday night Mrs
Maxim, accompanied by a detective
went to Cocks home and the girl was
taken into custody by the police. She
was given the choice of returning to the
Crosby House or going to the House of
Detention, and she chose the latter
course.
When the question of her guardianship
came up before Justice Cole the girl was

Judge Kimball yesterday morning COM
ntitted Mrs. Jennie Payne to the care of
her sister, Mrs. Annie Loomis. Mrs.
Iayne was arrested Tuesday charged
with soliciting aims from merchants and
others When taken into the police court
on the following day Judge Kimball
doubted her sanity and sent her to the
House of Detention until an enquiry as
to her mental condition could be made.
Drs. Marbury and Vale, police surgeons,
examined Mrs. Payne Thursday, and, II
is said, they reported that she was not
mentally unbalanced. Judge kimball,
however, seemed to be not wholly salts
fed, and when the woman was taken into
court this morning he said he had receiv
ed information from several persons that
made him dubious concerning her.
Andrew Payne. the husband of the wo-
man, and her sister were present Mr..
Payne was of the opinion that his wife
was not sound mentally. Mrs. LOOMS
said she was in straitened circum-
stances. but that if Mrs. Payne was turn
ed over to her she would see that she was
properly cared for. on the suggestion of
James l.. Pugh Assistant District Attor
ney, that action was taken.

Courts for Plumbers License.

Michael J. OBrien yesterday filed a pc
tition in the Supreme Court OF the District
asking that writ Of mandamus issue
against the Commissioners Of the District
TO compel them to grant him plumber
and gasfitters license. He states that
during the last twenty-five years he has
been d practical plumber and gasfitter,
working in this city, and that since 1893
he has been granted permits by the Com
missioners 10 prosecute his trade and
calling. On December n ne says he was
granted license as a practical plumber
and gasftter and that the permit will
not expire until May 1903 Notwith-
standing this, he states that on March %
last the Commissioners revoked his
license. O'Brien also declares that the
Commissioners have refused to allow him
or his attorney TO inspect any charges
which may have been filed against him
Ia the office.
He therefore asks that the Commission
ers be compelled 10 allow him or his coun-
sci TO inspect ali books and papers re-
lating to the revocation of his license as
a plumber and gasfitter. O'Brien is rep
resented by Attorney Percival NJ Brown.

EXPLAINS FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
Industrial Commission Hears Details
of Long and short HauIs.


The Industrial Commission yesterday
resumed hearings on the subject of
freight transportation by railroads. Only
one witness. B. II. GriswoId. general
freight and passenger agent of the West
ern Maryland Railroad and chairman of
the Baltimore Freight Bureau. was ex-
amined He was before the commission
for several hours and explained in de-
tan the subject of freight transportation.
His general conclusions were that less
cut-rate traffic existed now than ever
before; that unreasonable freight rates
have practically ceased; that freight dis
ordinations are almost unknown, and
that the Southern freight classification
is somewhat higher than the official
classification.
Before beginning his observations on
freight traffic Mr.. Griswold explained the
operations of the Baltimore Freight Bu-
reau, an organization of railroads which
reach Baltimore, and which was estab-
lished three years ago to obtain uniformity
of practice and close relation between the
separate lines. He traced the growth of
differentials from Western points to
ports in the East. Formerly these ia.
vored the shorter lines he said, but the
trunk lines had arranged an agreed
mileage, Whlch equaIlzed matters.
fast freight line. Mr.. Griswcld ex-
planned, was a line within several lines
operated by a manager chosen by the
several separate roads and maintaining
through schedules. Unreasonable rates
had given way to a uniformity of tariff,
no matter what differences of mileage
might exist
Between Baltimore and Hagerstown,
for example" said Mr.. Griswold, there
are three roads-one 81 miles long one 10i
miles long. and the third 15S miles long.
Yet these lines all charge the same
freight rate The long and short haul
clause of the existing Interstate Com
merce law, the witness declared, was OBJ
served by the Western Maryland with
profit to itself. The witness was opposed
to any superintendency of railroad freight
traffic by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the general ground that mex
perienced men could not superintend ex-
perts.

Recommendation of Major Sylvester
AnnroXed hx the COmmi issiOners.

G. L. Yoe was yesterday dismissed from
the police force by the District Commits
sioners, on the recommendation of Major
Richard Sylvester. after failing to ap
pear before the Trial Board TO answer
charges that had been preferred against
him. Yoe was charged with having used
harsh and violent language toward Po-
liceman Arthur Stahl, on March ;, and
with having invited the latter to go back
of the city postoffice with him and fight.
He was also charged with having pointed
a revolver at J. NJ. Mahany, a street rail-
way crossing policeman, and having
threatened to kill him.
Yoe failed TO appear before the Trial
Board when summoned, and the case was
decided against him by default YOe af-
terward pleaded that he failed to appear
for trial because he was too sick to do
so, and he availed himself of the privilege
granted him TO introduce testimony in his
own defence.
The Commissioners have had the rec
ommendation of Major Sylvester for some
time, but action was not reached until
