STORY OF THE CASE

"a 49, A@'FF - -
STORY OF THE CASE
On January II, 1897, the PhiIa
delphiaGas company secured leases
I on tract Of I35 leases from Fl.
Hanes, and another tract Of ia
acres from 4. P. Homer. The
| leases called for work TO be com
menced within q certain number Of
days, aud If the company should
fall to do this, then 1t should pay
certain rental for five years. If
they had not then commenced de.
7elopment Of the leases they should
lapse. Should the company COM
mence development within the five
years, however, the lease should
continue as long as oil or gas was
secured in paying quantities, and
the rental, or royalty, paid.
In December Of last year, shortly
after the Philadelphia Gas company
secured a fine well on the lease adj
! joining, the Hartman Oil company
took blanket lease on the Ranes
and Horner farms. The Philadel-
phis Gas company then put up rigs
at once, and commenced work on
these two farms AS it was impos-
sible for the wells to be completed
within the five years, the Hartman
Oil company filed petition with
Judge M. H. Willis, asking that an
Injunction be granted, restraining
the Philadelphia Gas company from
proceeding with their work.
Attorneys Hall and Hall, of this
city, and w. S. Meredith, of Fair
mont, appeared for the Hartman
Oil company, and E. L. Robinson
for the Philadelphia Gas company.
After the argument of the case,
Judge Willis decided that as work
on these leases had actually been
commenced by the Philadelphia
Gas company within the time stip-
ulated In the lease, they were en-
titled to continue, and refused TO
grant the injunction.
BEFORE SUPREME COURT.
The attorneys tor Hartmen then
went to Charleston, and presented
the petition to Judge Brannon, of
the supreme court. He also re-
fused to grant the injunction, and as
the supreme court was In session
brought the petition before 1t as a
body. After hearing the arguments
of the attorneys In the case, they, as
as a body, decided that no injunc-
ton should be granted. and that
while the payment of rental would
not extend lease hey ond the time
stipulated, yet If work was actually
commenced In the time stipulated,
though 1t could not be completed
In that time, the original lease was
extended.
This decision will cause the
bringing of many suits, and much
litigation In this state. as hundreds
of leases In advance of develop
ment have been blanketed by other
companies. Attorneys here. and
the officials of the Philadelphia Gas
company believe the same principle
will be held good In the adjoining
states of Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA.

The correspondent to The Wheel'
ing Intelligencer has the following
to say about municipal politics ii
this city:
"The municipal political pot Is
on and judging from appearances
there will be considerable boiling
and possibly some roasting before
the conventions are held In March
There are at present several candi
dates IN the field for mayor and al
of them are good men. On the
Democratic, &. 0 Bower, a promi
uent attache of the Eureka Pipe
Line company, has openly an
nounced his candidacy, and his
many friends are already working
hard for him. II. B. Hissom, the
gentleman who gave the present
sheriff of this county, J.W. Grimm
the hardest fight Republican ha:
ever had In the county, IS also In
the field. although his formal an.
nouncement has not been made.
con the Citizens or Republican
side, there are two possible candi
dates, only one of whom has made
an announcement of the fact, DR.. H
G. Meek, who has been health of
fcer for several years. He has an
nounced his candidacy and will
make hard fight for the nomina
ton In the convention. Walter
Brown, a gauger for the Eureks
Pipe company, and very popular
young fellow, Is also spoken of
Another possible candidate Is w
E. Seal, a well known tailor of the
city, and member of the present
city council. DR.. Meek Is apparent
ly In the lead now, but there will
be hard fight In the convention
and 1t Is likely there will be dark
horse In the race before the end /:
In sight.
A man popular with all classe:
in the city and whom to know Is tC
like, Is Lynn Kirkland, short term
justice of the peace, and he will
probably be the compromise can
didate. Mr. Kirkland has fl atty re
fused to come out for the Office, bal
his friends are working hard and i
Is not at all unlikely that he will be
a capdidate. The concensus o.
opinion Is that he would be the
strongest candidate that could be
put in the field.
For the other Offices there are
several candidates In the field, but
T, as has always been the case the
fight will center on the mayor"

New Martinsville, w. Va, Feb.
1o.-The most important oil case
which ever came before the courts
of this State has just been decided.
1t Is that of the Hartman Oil COM
papy, of Warrington, against the
Philadelphia Gas company. For
many years past, oil companies and
individuals have been In the habit
of watching closely the time of ex-
piration of leases held by other
companies, and about a month be-
fore would take what was termed
a blanket lease on the same prop
erty on the expiration of the exist
ing lease. The same custom has
prevailed In Ohio and Pennsylva
MIA.
While there had been no decision
covering the entire question, 1t was
generally understood the blanket
lease was good. An important strike
Ia the Pine Grove extension by the
Philadelphia company has caused
the question to be tested here, the
case going to the supreme court,
and receiving the quickest final de-
cision after the starting of the case

TEACHING OF ENGLISH
IN ST. LOUIS SCHOOLS!

FOR THE gUNDAY REPUBLIC
In every school IN St Louis tho pr,n-
c,pals have adopted what Il known Is the
early teaching o. English method Chill
dren. when they first enter the lower grade
OF tho grammar school. are instructed in
writing. They arc taught TO express their
thoughts IN writing-that Is. what they
think or say. to put It down In writing. ana
In that way they soon become accustomed
10 writing. and Il is claimed that If a
child left schOol after attending six months
he could write a letter that would convey
the thoughts which he wished to express.
Eastern schools have also adopted this
method. but 1. IS claimed by +. Louis Sol
dan. Superintendent OF Schools. that In st.
Louis schools II was first tried successful
ly. BY this method children are also taught
10 draw at an early age. The image they
wish 20 bring before the mind OF thsir
readers they are often requested to draw.
and under the careful supervision OF their
teacher. after a few days in school. they
often turn out creditable representations OF
dogs. cats and other animals. Sometimes
they cut these figures out with a pair q
scissors. The following little essays ara
tive Of the early teaching OF the
English method:

EASTER PARABLE OF
THE Beautiful FLOWER.

Once IN Q sheltered garden there bloomed
Q beautiful flower 20 sweet and pure that
the south wind forsook all other spots to
sweep oeaseleasly. caressngly around It.
whispering soft words OF love
But one day the flower faded. nor could
the south wind. with warm kisseA revive
its dropping head
Then came the gardener through his gar.
den. who. seeing the dying flower. plucked
Il from its stem and tearing out its golden
heart buried It deep in the black earth.
Cruel. cruel man, shrieked the south
wind. because It understood not.
All winter long the cold, white snow lay
on tho heart Of the flower. and over II the
south wind sobbed its rage at the pitiless
gardener.
But when the spring came. behold! the
nower arose more beautiful than before.
And the south wind, understanding. kissed
the bronxed cheek Of the gardener in Joy
Gus penitence.
For kind Of heart is the gardener Of tho
universe, though man. foolish and Tickle as

And the t~ireless Roman soldiers

That fragrance faint steals by them.

Ere the stone was rolled away
From the tomb of angel warders,
And came forth-eternal Day.
