Standard Oil Company Side Show.

The charter for what is to be
known as the Eastern Oil Men s
association, has been received by
the incorporators in this city, be-
ing Thomas Gartlan, G.. L. Wat
son, F. E. Mallory, S. B. Stiles
and H. M. Spence, who are not
only among the leading oil oper-
ators of this city, but also of the
State, says the Parkersburg Sem
tinel. The charter states that
the object of the new organization
is "for the purpose of promoting
the development of oil and gas,
and advancing the interests of
those engaged therein; of gather
ing information thereto, and Of
fostering cordial relations and CO.
operation among members; for
the purpose of mining and pro-
ducing oil and gas, and acquiring
and dealing in the same, and of
improving the method and econo-
mics in that department of enter
prise. The main office of the as
ISOLATION will be located in Park
ersburg and sub-offices will be es-
tablished in each oil town
throughout the State. Meetings
will be held at each of these
towns in the near future for the
purpose of electing local officers
and one representative will be
elected from each place who will
act as director at the main office
and the Board of Directors which
will be composed of the several
representatives will draft the con-
stitution and bylaws at a meeting
to be held in Parkersburg after
the operators have been organized
at the various points in the State.
The first meeting will be held at
Sistersville today for the purpose
of organizing the operators in
that vicinity, and Thomas Cart
Ian, one of the incorporators, was
at that place on Friday for the
purpose of starting the movement
there. The shares in the associa-
ton will be limited to one to each
member, amounting to $40, 1870
of which is to be paid down, and
the balance whenever it shall be
called in by the Board of Direc-
tors. AS stated above, one of the
objects of the association will be
to look after all matters that will
be of mutual benefit to the men,
bers, especially in the way of
law suits, that may be brought
against any member, but what
can be learned one of the princi-
pal objects will be to look after
legislation bearing on oil and gas
interests, and particularly as re-
lating to the question of tax re-
form which has stirred up the
ranks Of the Republican party BE-
tween the Teter and Dawson fac
tions.

Colorado Springs, June 6.-An explo-
sion at the independence station Of the
Florence G. Cripple Greek road, in the
Cripple Creek district, at 2:26 this
morning, sent 16 men into eternity and
injured nine others fatally, according
to the best information obtainable at
this time.
The explosion was undoubtedly caus-
ed by dynamite which had been laid
under the center of the depot platform
and was set off by the incoming train.
The officials of the company and spe-
cial detectives are satisfied that das-
tardly crime was committed and are
now working on the case. The Victor
military has been ordered out. The
miners killed and injured were all EN-
ployed in the Finley property and had
just come off shift. They were wait
ing to take the train home. 1t was
their customary hour for taking the
train, and it is supposed that the al
legged crime was laid to catch these
men. A special train was sent from
