DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

Looked at di-passionately there is
much to be taken thankfully for the
results of the late election. 1t was a
Congressional battle, although in some
States additional names were on the
ticket In the Fifty-seventh Congress
the Republicans had majority of
forty-five. In the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress they will not have over thirty a
distinct gain for Democrats of fifteen,
and with an increased apportionment
of twenty-nine members based on the
Twelfth Census. There is no reason for
Republican jollitication, as the in
creased representation was chiefly in
Republican States. Iowa elects one
Dem Frat to Congress, Delaware one,
RhoI Island one, New Jersey gains
one over last year The situation is
far from discouraging, as some viewed
it, and should only make loyal Demo-
Gratis more ardent in their principles
and more determined to win glorious
victory the next time.

S. Browns absence in Europe has de-
layed the giving out Of the contract
Of the Monongahela railroad above
Bridgeport. No survey had been de-
cided upon before he went away, but

Work on the new packet Columbus

enter the trade between Pittsburg and
Morgantown some time in June.
On Wednesday the steamer I. G.
Woodward was put in commission as

ness and make time. The trade JUS
titles three boats almost all the year
round, and there is talk of new line
going in the trade tomorrow.

GREEN COUNTY GUsHER.
Big Well Struck Just across the State
Line by the South Penn.

just when Greene county looks
as though it had finished up it's
last gusher it hobs UP with another
and takes the wind out of the sails
of the other lower southwest gush-
ers.
In the north end of the develop
ment west of Blacksmith, near the
State line, the South Penn OIL Com
pany has drilled in a test well on
the S. S. Eddy farm and the we'll
began to flow at the rate of more
than so barrels an hour and placed
l,200 barrels to its credit the first
"a hours This is decidedly the
largest producer that Greene county
has presented for some months The
location is such as to put the talent
to guessing, for the reason that the
north end OF the development has
furnished strong gassers rather than
large oil producers. 1t is not ex
pected to hold up at it's present
speed for any considerable time.
The well is on farm adjoining
territory owned by Morgantown
people Messrs McDermott, Court
ney, White and Lowrie have mum
ber of farms close by leased and

was some matters in dispute between
the city and the Bell Telephone

Fifty Marrige Contracts In Twelve
years is the Record.

When Mrs. M. Wells opened mil
linery store In Charleroi IL years ago
she did not intend opening branch
business as a matrimonial agency,
but 1t seems such has been the case.
Courteous and pretty girls were em-
ployed as clerks and soon young men
on the lookout for wife knew where
to.
With the marriage of Miss Eliza
beth Stephenson to Frances A. Schnee
on Wednesday a record number was
reached, Miss Stephenson being the
f1ftieth clerk TO be married from Mrs.
Wells store. Mrs. Wells will soon be
compelled to pursue the same course
with her clerks as that pursued by
school directors In some sections Of
Western Pennsylvania, who require
teachers to sign a contract that they
well not get married during the term

Yet Prisoner Refuses to Disclose
Whereabouts Of Saws Used In Maxi
Ing an avenue OF Escane.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, April 23.-But
for the timely discovery of their plot
by the sheriff the prisoners in the
county Jail here would no wbe free.
The third attempt of the Hill-Taylor
gang OF thieves to escape from jail
was frustrated Last midnight by
Sheriff Jolliffe and his deputies, at
which time the prisoners were re-
moved from the jail corridor to the
more secure iron cages. They have
been kept there all of today on diet
of bread and water, yet continue to
refuse to disclose the whereabouts OF
the saws used in filing off the lock Of
one of the jail doors. The prisoners
were supplied.with fine saws and used
them in cutting off huge bolt to one
of the front corridor doors.
Sheriff Jolliffe had a tip week ago
that Alexander j. Hill, the convicted
leader OF gang of criminals, had of
fered 81, 900 for his freedom He is
under 1ve-years sentence to the peni-
tentairy for robbing fast freights of
valuable goods. The sheriff conse-
quently kept close watch Early In
the week the gang made an opening
through the iron ceiling Of the CORR
dor by saving off the bolts. They were
stopped when about to go out. Later
they made an entrance through the
rear Of the rarnshackle old Jail, and
again were headed off. The sheriff
allowed them 20 proceed with their
third attempt, hoping to surprise them
when they had the saws in use, but
failed. 1t is a mystery as to how the
saws were given to the prisoners. All
day yesterday, and even now the Jail
is under the surveillance Of armed
guards.

His mind is fairly clear and his menu
ory good on most things. While he
can recall much of his past life with
apparent ease, parts of It he seems TO
have forgotten altogether. He re-
members but few dates and but little
of his family history. Ii Is said that

Tie first fatality in connection

Cheat has occurred. This was at

is dead. She was Ill but about a
week but the case was an extremely
virulent one and despite everything
that could be done she passed away.
She was nineteen years of age.
The funeral will take place at Zion
church. DR.. Warren disinfected
everything in connection with the
deceased and there is no danger of
infection from the remains. There
are several other cases IN this fami
ly and it is truly a house of mourn
ing.
Another case has appeared. This
is in the Collins family next TO the
Wolf residence. appeared yester-
day morning. DR. Warren has been
watching it for several days and has
promptly quarantined the house.
None of the guards have as yet
been removed and no new ones have
been posted. The VOLTS and Collins
live about two and one halt miles
down the river from Ices Ferry.
1t is not expected that there will
be much more OF an outbreak as the
new cases would be appearing before
this If they were going TO break out.
Many people have been vaccinated
and this will prevent any more small
pox breaking out.
News from Catawba is to the eff
feet that the quarantine up there
has been lifted 1t will be remem-
bered that a Young man recently
came to that place from Cumberland
and mingled with people all over
town finally developing a case Of
small pox.
No cases have developed in the
town and it is now thought by the
board of health that all danger has
passed. For time there was quite
scare In the little town which is
situated between this place and
