Mr. West that Mr.. Macfarland had taken

added that Mr.. West had taken as much
time as had Mr.. Macfarland, all of which
must limit to the minimum the time for
the Engineer Commissioner. Col. Biddle

teStantS in these events were the coiored
helpers at the show, and when it was all
over Mr.. Henshaw, displaying that wonder

Coming home Senator Chandler spent
most of his time squarng himself with the
| Commissioners for jumping on the tax
scheme. Down in the lobby or cabin Ed
| Droop bethought himself of music and a
piano was secured Next a singer was

explained that no reference was intended
| TO the President and his hunt in the wild
| and woolly west The rest of the members

groups and enjoyed the scenery or told

At recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Piney Run Oil and Gas
Company, held in Baltimore, it was
decided to resume boring for oil at an

other nearer the Pennsylvania State
line, both of which were failures ow-
ing to accidents Detailing the machin-
cry and plugging the holes, conse-
quently a thorough test of the terri
tOIY has never been made.
From circular issued by the stock
holders the following information is
CLEANED:
"A circular was prepared last May,
but was not sent out at that time for
the reason that We concluded to post
poned operations until other com
panies adjoining us had done some
development work which might prove
a guide to us. Since then our two
unfinished wells in this district have
shown such unmistakable evidence
that they will become liberal pro-
ducers, if sunk to the proper depth,
that it was unanimously voted to ac-
cept a proposition made to us by the
Logan Drilling Co., of Pittsburg. and
q T. once bppiD pnaro tiCr,
This is the same company that
was working for us when we quit Dor
ing for lack Of funds. And they are
so sure OF obtaining oil in paying
quantities in this district that they
have contracted to continue work at
a reduced price and to take a porto II
of their pay in stock.
"Since we stopped work on the Lint
well the oil is actually flowing from
the mouth of the hole, aud one of our
directors who recently visited the
wells said: 1t would be a crime not to
continue at least one of these wells to
the proper DEPTH"

The bean shooter must go. He must
depart from devious paths and resume
the straight and narrow course of
moral rectitude or he must go to the
| coop. This edict has been issued by
the municipal authorities and the
| edict is right and proper. What ami
mates a yOungster to make himself q
human war ship puncturing all who
come in range is one of the perplex-
ing problems that face the philoso-
pher. AS a healthy application of
strap oil generally results in com
plete cure, the ailment is not general
ly regarded as chronic but it is very
aggravating while in progress.
Messrs. Henry and Jacob Fresh,
sons of the late Jacob Fresh, of New
Germany, were in Oakland Tuesday

father. Henry Fresh is a resident of
Cumberland where he is engaged as
president and manager of the Emer-
gency Car Brake Company. The de-
vice manufactured by this company
was invented and patented by Mr..
Fresh and is what its name implies
an emergency brake for electric and
other cars. The mechanism is a sim
pie arrangement of bars and a shoe
fitted with wool felt which is dropped
onto the rail and by the momentum of
the car drawn underneath the wheel
which acts effectually as a brake and
prevents accidents on grades orwhen
it is desired to bring a cartoa sudden
stop. Mr.. Fresh informs us that or
ders have been received by his com
paDy lately which will necessitate the
charging of their plant and its prob
able removal from its present location.
The brake has proven to be success
full appliance and many street cars in
all parts of the country have been
equipped with it.
