OIL CITY Credit balances, s1.ssl

The new strike on the smalley farm
on Wheeling creek, near Majorsvilie,
Marshall county. still has the talent
guessing. On Friday last 1t was given
a sO-quart shot and made ,t5.barrel
flow. The oil was developed at a depth
of 1,4Gs feet When Investigated 1t
was found that the West Virginia Gas
company has done considerable deve,.
oping work in that locality. but the re.
suit was gassers In the same forma-
ton. This fact leads somh to think
that 1t is a freak and the anxiety on
the part Of some operators familiar
with surroundings is not so great to
secure territory in that locality. In
proximity to the well and the Smalley
farm, the West Virginia Gas company
holds leases on about all of the terri.
tory. The smalley farm producer is
now cleaning out and will be tubed
and put, to pumping. 1t is not likely
that any new work Will be started
until the well on the Smalley farm
has BEN thoroughly tested. From the
time 1t was drilled down to Saturday
evening It had produced 60 barrels. :

Against It.

WASHINGTON. January iO.-By a vote
of 20 TO /, the senate to-day passed a
bill providing that railway employees en-
gagged in the handling of trains shall not
work more than sixteen consecutive
hours, which period is to be followed by
ten hours off duty, the one negative vote
being cast by Senator Pettus.
This accomplishment was reached after
an entire day spent in consideration Of
the subject, The parliamentary situation
was confused during the entire time,
caused by the forty pending amendments
and the three substitutes for the original
bill. all of which had to be disposed of.
The bill, which was finally passed, was
a substitute offered to-day by Senator
La Toilette and lot in print. 1t was
amended in several respects by the SEN
ate. The bill provides that under certain
contingencies and in case of accident, the
time fixed may be exceeded. The enforce
INIT of the law is placed in the hands of
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Federal courts, the penalty provided
being a fine of not less than 500 nor
more than $1,000. The act is to apply to
trains doing an interstate or foreign COM
merce business.

CONDUCT NO MORE
BURIAL SERVICES

The Rev. John w. Daugherty, pastor
of the Apostolic Church, Fulton, de-
clined to conduct the funeral services
of the late John Haywood, who was
Killed by tho fall of a smokestack on
January 18th.
-he funeral services We're held IN
Wednesday, from Denny Street Metho-
dist Church, Rev. CharlesH Fl. Galloway,
pastor, officiating.
Mr.. Daugherty states that his reason
for refusing to conduct the funeral of
Mr.. Haywood was In no way personal,
II that the family of the unfortunate
mar have his sincerest sympathy.
Il have come to recognize more clear
the gospel he says.
"When n young mar said! Lord, I
will follow Thee whitersoever Thou
goest, but let me first go and hurry
my father Jesus n said:
Let the dead bury the dead, but go
thousand preach the gospel"
The, views Of Mr.. Daugherty In this
matter llaVe occasioned considerable
comment In Fulton, and it is said that
rage ceremonies also.
Mr.. Daugherty Is not understood as
objecting to the burying of dead bodies,
but thinks q In connection
with the burial to. be no part of the
duty of a Christian minister.
Mr.. Daugherty's objection to per-
forming marriage ceremonies scents to
thority from the State officials to per-
form the ceremony, thus to his mind
causing q certain union of church and
State.

was an old family friend of Mrs. Cullen.
When the mob hesltated, after fastening
the rope about Cullen's neck, 1t was he
who cried, "Tll hang him. and grabbing
the rope, Jerked the victim to eternity.

STILL No NEWS
OF THE PONCE"
Hope Will Not Be Abandoned
Until Maracas
Is In.

NEW YORK, January 1o.-The steamship
Ponce, of the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company, which sailed from
Ponce. P. r., December 26th. and was
due at this port on January list, Is still
missing, and the belief that the vessels
delay was due to some mechanical acct.
dent is giving away to the fear that she
is lost. She was last spoken on Deem
Der 18th by the ship Shenandoah, since
which nothing has been seen or heard
of her.
The strong hope to which officers Of
the steamship company cling is the nom
arrival of the steamer Maracas from
Trinidad. now four days behind her
schedule time.
The Maracas ordinary course Is the
same as that usually taken by the Ponce
for n considerable part of the voyage,
and 1t Is hoped that she has fallen in
with the probably disabled Porto Rican
vessel and Is towing her to some port.
Until the Maracas arrives and disapproves
this theory. hope for the Ponce's safety
will not be abandoned.
The most disquieting report that has
reached here to-day was n message from
Governor Winthrop. of Porto Rico, who
says the steamer Caracas reported sight
ing a derelict $50 feet long, near the To-
cation the Ponce was sighted by the
Shenandoah December 2Sth. The dimon-
sions OF the reported derelict. however, do
not agree with the description OF the
Ponce, which Is SIT feet long.

Other Cas- es Before Sill

The attention of the Supreme Court OF

Bling. &c. VS.. Blu russ. &c, which was
| argued by Il. r.. ~. Duke, Jr., for the

The first named case concludes the
Commonwealth docket. The negro Thorn
as. or Wright was convicted in the Ctr
cult Court of Alexa udria OF criminal as
sault on Miss Nah ell Risley, now Mrs.
Forest Gooding. Thn offense is alleged
to nave been comm htted at Luna Park.
a suburb OF Washii gton, in Alexandria
county, on Sunday, die 9Th of September
last. The negro was arrested on suspi-
cion, and after he h;td been duly indicted
and arraigned the court appointed Mr..
James c. Clements To defend HIN.
Mr.. Clements undertook the defence in
n perfunctory MANNER, but had proceeded
but a little way with the cas-, when he
became convinced that the negro was in
nocent. Relieving thus, he has fought
the case from the beginning with a vigor
and an earnestness that might lead a
casual observer 70 think he was getting
a tremendous fee. which Is not q fact.
He is defending the negro and striv ng
to vindicate him because he beliew - in
his heart of hearts that the negro is the
victim of circumstances.
In his argument before he Court Of
Appeals Mr.. Clements sets up .vo bold
propositions. FIRST that no CRIMINAL as
sauit has been committed. and second
that IL there waS any breach Of the peace

in question, in which Miss Ridley was
