A Possible Oil Well.

Not long since, III conversation
with Mr.. Geo. Vest, the Iberian
man gathered the information
that the oil indications on his pro-
perty in the upper part of town is
attracting some attention. In
summers heat or winters cold the
gas continues to bubble up at the
particular place. several times
mentioned in our columns, with no
abatement. The theory of yege-
table gas, or marsh gas, hardly
seems to hold good. For many
months there was no fresh supply
of vegetable matter, through the
processes of decomposition, to
yield this gas-yet the water con.
tinued to bubble
Capt Vic Won SchOeler visited
the place and advanced the Opin
ion that it would be a good place
to sink a test well. He seemed tt
think the surface indications would
warrant such an undertaking.
Later Mr.. Wright, who is il
charge of the oil wells, now being
bored on Avery's Island, visited
the Vest field and he was pleased
with what he saw. He promised
to return and investigate further
as soon as his present dutie
would permit.
To find good supply of oi
there would be like finding a gOl'
mine under a mint. The oil wOul
already be at its market. Th
) we'll could be allowed to discharg
: into transportation barges and b
= flOated to hundreds of burners a
very small cost. 1t would be
truly grand thing.

Sunday Nights Fire.

Last Sunday night, at a little
after twelve o'clock, the fire alarm
was sounded. When the firemen
turned out they needed no guide
by any code of whistles to direct
them TO the scene of action The
sky was already red with the
lurid flames of the burning build
ings
The fire had its origin IN the
residence of Mr. Octave BOutte,
on Weeks street, between Wash
ington and Madison. 1t seems
that they left a lamp burning in
the dining room when the family
retired. Dense volumes of smoke
aroused Mr.. BOutte, who rushed
to the dining room and I, ,und the
table on which the lamp stood
wrapped in flames. He gathered
up quantity of bed clothes anC
attempted to smother the flames
but they were too far advanced
He then ran to the ciStern for ;

ed he found that the opening o
the door had admitted the needed
air to fan the flames into a fury
1t was then that he first called TO
help, giving the alarm Of fire.
Everybody was asleep and a!
