Latest advices from the fourth
sand development, west Of Butler,
do not put the Southern Oil Com
pany's test on the Hartung farm
in the gusher list. The well was
drilled in late Tuesday evening
and it failed to start with the rush
that was expected. 1t passed
rather freely when drilled into
the top of the sand and sprayed
some oil, but when drilled deeper
failed to flow and is not thought
to be good for more than 100 bar
rels a day. This location is some
600 feet southwest of the Mcbride
gusher. The two wells on the
Waldron farm show considerable
decline in production.
The Lower Southwest.

eel county, the same company has
drilled it's second test on the Elias
Norris farm to the top of the stray

farm a shot.

Tn the Gordon sand develop
ment, on the Salem Fork, Ten
Mile district, Harrison county,

North of Fairview, Marion coun-
ty. the South Penn Oil Company
has drilled it's No. 4 on the Annie
Harvey farm through the fourth
sand and the hole has filled up
1 900 feet with fluid. 1t will make
a small producer. In the same
district, the tools were stuck in
the No. 16 on the Haught-Walker
farm and they are now drilling
past the lost string.
West of Warrington, in the
same county, the Freehold Oil &
Gas Company's Nos. 1 and 3, on
the Benjamin Grubb farm are
holding up at 90 and 200 barrels,
respectively. The Delmar Oil

Plans are now said to be in progress
for the material betterment OF the
TRANSPORTATION facilities of the Washing
ton. Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Railway Company Four additional
motor cars have been ordered, to be
delivered within sixty days. Mr..
Clarence p. King, president OF the
electric railway company, has purchased
from Judge J. X. NJ Norton a portion
OF Inc Pcyton grove property lying
west of West street and on line with
Cameron street, north If King, which
leads to the belief that it is the purpose
of theSeIectric railway compa W to ex-
tend its Cameron street track west, so
that when the double tracks are com
pleted from Fonr-mile run to Spring
PARK il will have double.trsck ROAD
from Arlington Junction to Columbus

now maintained by the road between
this city and Four-mile Run plerces the
embankmeut on which the aew steam
railway t acks are being constructed al

for the electric railway is sufficiently
wide for double tracks, IT is noticed that
another opening has been lett III me

Mail clerk FATALLY Hurt.

Joseph NJ. Burr, OF Ronceverte, w.
Va, a mail clerk in the employment OF
the government. was fatally injured at
Quantico Yesterday. Burr, who bad
only been in the mail service about three
months, attempted yesterday when the
train on which he was at work passed
Quautico to put out the crane which
lifts the mail bag from the hooks on
which it bangs, and failed to remember
that coal chute was hundred yards in
front of the pole on which the bag hung.
@. E. Howard, Of Fredericksburg, a
mail clerk on the same train, saw Burr's
mistake and rushed to drag the crane in.
but was TOO late. The crane crashed
into the coal chute and dragged Burr
out of the car and under the wheels OF
the train. Burr was terribly cut about
the head and badly bruised, but was still
living when picked up. lie was placed
aboard the train and sent to Richmond,
to be placed in hospital. Little hope
is entertained for his recov cry.

White Can Notice.

Mr.. w. W. Mundell, a choirmaster
and teacher OF vocal music in Manassas,
was few days ago threatened by white
cappers. The news only became known
Sunday and it was brought to light by a
denunciatiou of the party or parties who
made the threats against MIR. Mundell
by prominent minister OF that place
from his pulpit Sunday morning. A
letter was written to Mr.. Mundell advls'
ing him to leave town within four hours
after its receipt, and stating that II he
did not do so he would be whitecapped.
The letter was signed "Whitecaps."
Mr.. Mundell has been resident OF Ma
nsssas for about eight months, and so
far as the public knows he has done
nothing to merit the insult that he has
received. Mr.. Mundell is still in Ma
nassas and seems inclined to treat the
matter as joke. He does not know
who his enemies are or why any one
should wish to do him harm.

The Gazette.

The Alexandria Gazette has entered
its lO6th volume. 1t is one of the land
marks of that city, having been es-
tablished there when Alexandria was
but struggling village, and has done
much to further the interests OF that
city. We hope it may add many more
volumes to its life, and may increase
in its prosperity. We like the Gazette:
ITS tone is onward it is'progressige aud
fearless. We wish it abundant success
in the years to come. --[Prince William
