Like a LOChinyar

Cumberland, Md, August 9. -
Like a Lonchinvar of old, Henry
Hover Atkinson, 30 years old, of
Gunmar, Pocahontas County,
w. Va, came out of the west
bent upon matrimony and stole
away his lady love, Miss Lillian
Myrtle Blethen, 8years old from
the home of her irate father, at
White Sulphur Springs. Then
began stern chase, attended by
much excitement and not a little
peril, but which ended happily
for the afianced pair.
The alleged elopement took
place yesterday, Atkinson being
provided with an automobile
which he believed was proof
against any car that the elder
Blethen could find in the vicinity
of White Sulphur Springs.
Over the West Virginia noun
tains and hills they drove, with
the girls father said to be car
rying a rifle, in pursuit. All
went well until a river dividing
West Virginia and Maryland
was reached. The bridge had
been wrecked by a recent rain
and, to make matters worse Adj
kinson's automobile broke down
just as Blethen's car was seen in
the distance.
But nothing daunted the lover.
Tossing his lady love over lis
shoulder he plunged into the riv-
err, swan to the Maryland side.
gave the laugh to his prospect
i've father-in-law and hired a
horse and buggy with which he
and Miss Blethen drove to Cum
berland. The knot was soon tied
by Rev. Joseph Dawson.

The Man Who Struck Oil

Fifty-four years ago. or to be
exact, on August q, 1859, oil
was struck in Western Pennsyl.
vania at a spot which bore the
picturesque name Of Pithole, now
a deserted village, but at che
time the scene Of epoch-makine-
activities.
The man who discovered oil by
boring for it was a picturesque
character, of an adventurous dis
position, by the name of Edwin
Il. Drake, widely known under
the title of Colonel. He had OBJ
served traces Of oil on the sur
face of stream near Titusvile
and he resolved to sink a well to
secure this commodity in laryer
quantities and to replace the
crude methods which the indians
of Western Pennsylvania en-
ployed. They immersed blank
cts to secure the lubricant, more.
however, on account of the med
icinal qualities of the crude oil
than for it's commercial values
and uses.
1t is proposed by the people
of TitusviIle, Oil City and other
cities in the oil regions to erect a
monument to Drake to mark the
spot where the first oil wei was
sunk. A Drake memorial muse
um has already been established
at Titusville.
The history of the early pro
duction of oil regions of Wess-
ern Pennsylvania reads like a ro-
nance, and it is, indeed, a ro-
nance, founded, however, on III
most solid structure of fact.
1t is a fact that the di. covery
oil oil was one Of the most vital
in the history of the United
States. 1t seems fitting that
some shaft or monument should
mark the place where Drake had
the prescience to sink the first
oil we'll, which increased so
amazingly the wealth of this
country and added so much to
the comforts Of life.

Tale of a Pig

John William Jack bought two
pigs from VIM. Clark the other
day. Monday, Clark shipped
them via the Lorama. Near the
Fair entrance, one of them in
some way escaped from the box,
and declaiming in impassioned
Porkese, the immortal words of
Patrick Henry, Gimme liberty
or gimme death, made a des-
perate leap from Mikes Unlimit-
ed while the train was rushing
hitherward at the rate of some
seven miles an hour. His efforts
were crowned with success, and
with a snort of defiance he es-
capped into the jungle.
That afternoon the southbound
Express stopped at the Fair
ground and the trainmen, organ
izing a posse comitatus, secured
the adjacent hills and dales in
futile search for the missing
porker.
Later, the eagle eye of F. F.
Statler detected him, and the pig
after gallant resistance was
again made captive. Tuesday
the freight engine made
a special trip after him, and de-
livered him, according him the
honors of war, to his new owner.

Big irregularities in Fayette

Charleston. w. Va, Aug. G..
Alleging irregularities in the ac-
counts of officials of Fayette
county Of over $4,000, a second
audit of that county was made
public today by the accounting
branch of the state tax commits
mioner's department. Most of
this amount is due to payments
made which rhe auditing depart
ment hold without authority of
law, and because of fees and
commissions collected held in ex-
cess of the law.
The audit covers the period
from December, 1909, until Jan
uary, 1913. Prior to that date
another audit was made.
The large amounts held due
by the audit are against the fol-
lowing: County Clerk Samuel
T. Carter, $18, 900; ex-Assessor
B. E. Bare, $50, 900; ex-County
Clerk Joseph Grafton, $4,000.

Will Have TO Wait

Charleston, w. Va, August
II. Scores of persons today
turned away disappointed from
the Office of the commission APP
pointed to redeem the rebate
coupons issued by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Ia lroad while
the constitutionality Of the two
cent passenger fare law was
being tested in the courts.
Chairman M. E. Matheny an
nounced that the coupons would
be received, audited and report
made to the court before the
money was paid. This, he
thought, would require one year.
Many instances of speculation
in coupons came to light today.
a negro newsboy presented SO, =
600 worth and a waitress in a
railroad restaurant in the coal
regions lad $1,000 in coupons.
One travelling salesman had
$4,000 worth. Most of these
were picked w at slight cost,
1t is estimated that coupons to
the value of $4,000, 600 are out
standing.

The Corn Crop

The August estimate of the
nations corn crop, made by the
governments agricultural eX-
perts is discouraging to those who
have been looking in that direc-
ton for relief from high prices.
Drouth and other unfavorable
conditions developing since the
first of July have necessitated a
revision of the figures reported
on that date, and a reduction is
made of 300, 000,00 bushels in
estimate for corn, the most i'm
portant of all agricultural prod
ucts. The total yield of 2,672,
600, 900 bushels now predicted is
ASP, 600, 900 bushels less than the
yield of 1912. The crop is placed
at 1913 per cent of normal, as
compared with 86.9 per cent a
month ago. Kansas, Oklahoma
and Nebraska are hit hardest,
in the order named.
The silver lining to the cloud
is furnished in the Augut figures
for wheat. The yield of winter
wheat will be 11,000, 600 bush
els, a gain of 10000. 600 bushels
over the July estimate, and the
greatest harvest of that cereal
ever gathered in the United
States, exceeding the banner
crop Of 1912 by 100000 bush
els. Springs wheat, too, is Civ
en- an increased production Of
Is, 900, 600 bushels over July in
the governments estimates.
But corn is the greatest product
of the soil, for both man and
beast, and falling off in pro-
duction will result in increased
prices for meat.
