and ordered him out: A quarrel
ensued with foregoing results.
W. Q. Smith & Co.'S we'll, just
back cot the court house, on the
Barkwell lot, was drilled into the
Big Injun sand today. A very good
sand was developed, with a nice
showing of oil, but they have de-
cided to make an important test
and will drill 1t on down to the
Berea grit. This Is the first we'll
In the immediate neighborhooi to
be drilled to that formation, and
the result will be impatiently
awaited by the talent.

considerable magnitude was closed,
whereby the Johnson oil interests

MAKE HASTE!
0aIy two weeks left IL which Sabur6aaltsS CO
visit tie Pitts6urs ExposltiOa.

NtSsh e~o 'heSOSsU NNpSSH
Great crowd, of Suburbanites already
have visited the New Exposition at Pitts
burg, and have returned to their homes sat
urated with enthusiasm for the big shows
superior attraction. Indeed the attractions
this year are of such a high order that to do
out Of the question.
In first instance the music presented to
date has completely swept Exposition visit
ors of their feet, for nothing so interesting,
elaborate and grand was dreamed of at the
insignificant admission fee of IS cents. 1t
surely is like giving away gold dollars to
offer such music at such nominal prices.
The musical feature for the closing two
weeks of the Exposition is the great New
York orchestra of Walter Damrosch, the
ever-popular young conductor, who all sum-
mer has been gathering novelties to placed
his Pittsburg programs. While Mr.. Dam
rosch stands in truth for the highest in bis
art, yet his concerts are arranged to please
and edify the largest number Of people.
Assisting him this season will be Miss
Annie Bussert, beautiful soprano soloist,
especially engaged from New York City.
Out-of-town patrons can not but become en-
amored of this charmingyoung woman, who
besides gloying in splendid, rich voice,
boasts a commanding stage presence, and
never fails to delight and fascinate her
hearers.
The exhibits have been completely changed
the past week, and the New Exposition pre-
sents cleaner and more interesting face to-
day than ever before.
The attractions are enjoying unusual pat
ronage because of their really high merit.
These in detail are the Cinematograph with
absolutely new pictures; the Dancing
Marionettes," ont. Pelee in Eruption,
1.-The Laughing Gallery" Darkness and
Dawn" "The Haunted Swing" "The
Merry-go-round and the favorite "To-
boggan Slide"
All railroads entering Pittsburg have made
elaborate preparations to handle the record
breaking throngs that are sure to crowd the
Exposition buildings these last two weeks.
Remember the excursion rate Is one fare for
the round trip.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Police and Fire. Departments Will Be
 Reviewed in October.

Reviewed in October.
 A good deal of business was dis posed of at the meeting of the board of public safety Saturday evening. The police department and the fire depart ment are to go on review on Thursday, October 16 This will be the first inspection of the departments, which is to be made an annual affair. It is expected that by the time set both de partments will be ready. Commits sioners Lahey, Hardie and Beach were appointed a committee to arrange for the inspection. The committee on the report of Dr Poore's inspection of the police force was taken up, but nothing was done with it. It is quite a bulky report and is said to cost the taxpayers about $100. Policeman Me- Evoy was examined regarding his pc tition for promotion with accompany ing pay, he having served the usual six months in the initial grade. He was found competent and voted to grade B with the increased pay. The board then went into executive session to inquire into the causes why Callman Griffin was absent from duty and he was fined the usual fine, 8. This concluded the business of the meeting. Mayor Kilduff presided.

South Africa Aansa Settle,

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The Daily Mail this morning says the government has decided that the new South African colonies are to be required to pay $500,- 100000 toward the cost of the South African war. The colonists are, how ever, to be allowed ample time in which to make this payment. It will not be collected until the extension of trade and expansion of revenue per init. Consequently the loan will not be foated for two or three years. Min ing profits will probably be taxed 10 per cent more than they were before the war, and money will also be ob- tained by granting all kinds of conces- sions and mineral rights.

STRIKERS LAWLEss.
Houses Stoned and Deputies Were Fired At g

blEeu AL
 WILKESBAhkl1, Ia., Sept. %. The mining town of Edwardsville, near here, has been the scene of much law lessness during the past few hours A s crowd of men said to be strikers went in search of man named James Mo \ Guire, who had gone to work in the mines last week. They fired stones at several houses, broke down the door in the dwelling where McGuire was sup posed to live and committed other dep- relations. The mob also fired on the deputies at the Woodward mine The officers returned the fire, but no one was wounded. Three men were af- rested, charged with being the ring leaders who threatened the life of Me Guire. In default of $1,OO0 bail each they were committed to Jail
 The twentieth week of the miners strike is here, and still there is no set clement in sight. Disinterested parties now believe the miners strike history will repeat itself and that the present struggle will go the six months limit, the same as the big strike of 1877. At the present time both sides are evil dently as determined as ever, and, all the prophecies as to the duration of the strike having failed, the people are settling down to the belief that the battle must be fought to finish.
 In court Judge Wheaton adminis- tered a sharp rebuke to those who have been guilty of calling people "scabs.' He says the intimidation and lawlessness that have been pre- vailing of late must stop, and those guilty of calling other people 'scabs' will be punished.
 The local operators in answer to the statement alleged to have been made by President Mitchell that there was only one mine in operation in the strike region, the Oxford. at Scranton. state that there are dozen mines and washeries in operation in the Wyo- ming, Lackawanna and Schuylkill re- gions and that the output of coal is in- creasing daily
 Before q mass meeting of 10000 workingmen in Madison square Satur- day night John Mitchell declared that the striking anthracite mine workers will remain out all winter If necessary to gain their end and are in position to do so.
 The Brotherhood of Railway Train mer employed on all railroads center ing in Wilkesbarre held secret meet ing at Kingston yesterday. The object of the meeting was to take some ac- ton on the question of the brother hood men hauling coal from the mines where nonunion men are em- ployed. It is understood there was lengthy discussion over the matter. The only information that would be given out however, was that resolu- ton had been adopted requesting the secretary of each local division to write letter to Grand Master F. H. Morrissey requesting him to come here at once
 Morrissey was in the strike region some time ago and looked over the sit uation. He is said to have come to the conclusion then that the time was not opportune for the railroad men to do anything.
 A repair house at the Empire mine of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company was destroyed by fire at an early hour in the morning. It is said the building was set on fire.

Aid For Miners From Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 22.-A check for $100O has been sent to the striking miners in Pennsylvania as the result of mass meeting held at Light Guard armory.
