drew a large and representative meet
ing of various shipping intesests yes
terday, not only of members of the as

1t was prefaced by the distribution
of circular of protest against the
daylight ordinance signed by inter
ested. Front street commission mer-
chants representing divers lines Of
trade occupying property between
Main street and the suspension bridge.
1t Is urged that such an ordinance
would operate against the river inter-
ests; that firms doing business nort,,
OF Front street would be continually
annoyed by blockades that would de-
lay delivery at the landing and that
1t would practically destroy the bust
ness of The produce commission mer-
chants who have been located there
for the past 30 years. Attention was
called to the fact .hat a similar ordi.

that sit is not necessity as it was

FIGHT With GUNS
Serious Artillery Engagement Marks
the Paraguayan Rebellion.


Buenos Ayres, Aug. 22.-An artillery
engagement has been fought between
the San Jocomimo battery of the Par
aguayan army and a body of revo-
lutionists, in which the latter succeed
ed In dislodging the guns of the gov
eminent force. The losses on either
side are not stated. There has been
no bombardment of Asuncion, the CAPT.
tai of Paraguay, since last reports.
The insurgents have established a
provisional government, with the cap
ital at Villa del Pillar (112 miles from
Asuncion), and have nominated Gen
eral Ferrerira their leader for presi.
dent and Gonzales Novoro for vice
president. Four secretaries also have
been named.
One Of these, Deputy Soler, has
started for Rio Janeiro and other cap
itals to endeavor to secure the recog-
milton Of the revolutionists as beIliger-
ents by the various governments This
is taken to indicate that rapid opera

SULTAN'S PLEDGE
The Porte Was Not Looking for This
Turn in Affairs.

The Porte Was Not Looking for This
Turn in Affairs.
Constantinople, Aug. pa note
from American Minister Leishman
dated Aug 16 was handed to the Turk
ish authorities within twelve hours af.
ter the receipt by the minister of the
Turkish note of Monday. In this note
Mr.. Leishman holds the government
to its solemn undertaking, coming di.
rect from the sultan, respecting equal
treatment with other nations for the
United States, concerning the question
Of educational institutions.
This allusion to the imperial pledge
apparently embarrassed the porte.
which had previously announced that
1t would ignore the formal verbal as
surances which Minister Leishman de-
clared he had received. 1t is consid-
cred improbable that the porte will
reply to the minister's note and, there
fore, the question is looked upon as
shelved pending the execution of the
process of recognition. when, it is con-
sidered not improbable, fresh difficult
ties will arise.
Notwithstanding the assertion by
IZzet Pasha, the secretary of the pal
ace, that $4,000 had been deposited
as compensation due to an American
citizen at Smyrna for land illegally ia
ken, no such deposit has yet been
made.

OIL OPERATIONS
AT HAGERSTORn
GREAT DEAL OF EXCITEMENT
THERE AT PRESENT
RIVAL COMPANIES
Are Leasing Land and Making Ready

Operations Active.
RIVAL COMPANIES

Operations in oil have grown active
near Hagerstown during the last few
days. Rival companies have agents
in the field engaged in securing leases
on land wherever they can be obtain
led.
The Cambridge City. Oil company
has contracted for a we'll to be drill
ed on land owned by Allen w. Pierce,
just east of the corporation line. Ev-
cry acre of land available has been
covered by leases to this company.
It's operations will be as extensive as
developments will warrant.
Operators from the developed oil
fields are engaged in drilling well
near the village of Dalton. Drilling
rigs are coming in as rapidly as pos
sible. Indications are that the Ha-
gerstown will become an import
and producing field in the near fu-
ture.
There is considerable excitement
there and companies are being organ
lied.
"The 'oil fever has struck Hagers-
town for good,' said a Hagerstown
man yesterday to a Palladium repre-
"and it seems to have
caught almost everyone. The oil ex-
element at Knightstown, Newcastle
and other surrounding towns, together
with the interest aroused by the oil
companies that have been organized
in Richmond, has struck Hagerstown
good and hard, and everybody is talk.
ing about oil. The field is a good one
and the developments should warrant
big expenditures. A great deal of the
land has been covered by leases and
wells will be drilled as soon as pos
sible, as many drills are being brought
in every day. The 'big guns of the
oil belt are beginning to take notice
Of Hagerstown operations, which from
the present standpoint, will be sue
cessful. The usual number of wild
dreams Of fortunes in a minute from
oil are being dreamed by almost all
the farmers around.'' r.

The house party that had been ar
ranged to be given this week at the
Morton homestead, near Centervllle,
by the Thursday Whist Club Of this
city, has peen postponed. The house
party promised to be one of the most
ENJOYABLE events of its kind given this
season and a number of various social
entertainments had been arranged.
Miss Mamie Hill, whose death occur
red last week, was a member of the
club.
A large number of visitors were en-
tertained yesterday at the house party
at the Morton home, made up of the
Misses Edith Harvey, Ruth Mash
meyer, Tillara Haas. Bessie Thompson
Ethel King, Alice Harvey, Elsie Beel-
er and Jessie Beeler. Yesterday was

party returned to their homes today,
after having enjoyed very pleasant
week.
Last week, at the home of brides
brother, James Kessler, on Randolph.
street, occurred the wedding of Miss
Julia Kessler and Mr.. Perry Will
liams, both of Muncie. The ceremony
was performed in this city rather than
III Muncie for various reasons. The
home was prettily decorated with
flowers and the wedding was very
quiet one, there being no attendants
to either Of the contracting parties.
The bride and groom have returned
to Muncie to reside. Mrs. Williams
formerly lived here and for several
years has been teaching in the Muncie
high school. The announcement of
the marriage comes as a surprise to
the many friends of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams in this city.
