The Philadelphia gas people continue drilling the well on the Roof farm, two miles west of Plumville. It is now down 2,000 feet, and drilling will continue to a depth of 3,000 feet before the work is abandoned.

At the lowest point it is thought the Bradford oil-bearing sand may be reached. The gas well on the Fisher farm, in the same vicinity, is a roarer, and the gas spouting can be heard for a mile. Core coal drills are in operation at the Flats, three or four miles east of Plumville, and the people in that section of the county are hopeful of a railroad and great coal developments within a reasonable time. JOHN WASAMAKER, of Philadelphia, is living in a cloud of glory, upheld by the newspapers of the city who receive a princely revenue from his advertising. Ejs son Thomas owns a "yellow jour- as the North American.

That pfcper for months has been traducing the character of the city's mayor arid his Director of Public Safety English. The director, tiring at last of the uncalled for and unjustifiable assaults made upon him by Wanamaker's paper, visited the saintly John and announced that if the personal assaults made were continued he, English, would give to the public some side-lights on Wanamaker, backed up by affidavits, that would give the general public another idea of the Wanamaker personality. Whereupon the saintly John, through his subsidized press, complains of being blackmailed. He should appeal to the courts, but that is the last resort of such is so much easier to try the case in newspapers fatten on his advertising patronage. Director English may be hotheaded and, perhaps, hasty, but Waua- maker's cool insolence, backed by fiis money-paid organs, is most intolerant.

A special session of court was called Monday last, Judge White presiding. The first case called was that of the Indiana Progress against H. P.

Lewis, formerly sheriff of Indiana county. The amount involved was fifty dollars. The contention of the plaintiff, the Indiana Progress, was that H. P. Lewis during his term of office as sheriff ordered an election proclamation to be printed for the year 1893 in five of the county pa.

pers. It was alleged that the printing of this proclamation was illegal, it not having been printed in the Democratic paper, and that Indiana county was not liable for the bill. Suit was then entered by 'the plaintiff against H. P. Lewis personally, trying to hold him personally liable for the printiiig.

The defense alleges that the printing was not ordered. While the amount involved is small the case has taken up considerable time, and is hotly contested by the parties. Judge Patton. of the thirty-third judicial district, arrived on Tuesday morning for the purpose of trying several certified cases on the list. In his court the case of Dr.

JE. H. Dickey against Charles Mitchell et al, was taken up and a jury called and sworn. The amount involved in this case is Bma.ll and the case is yet on trial. In some general remarks made by the court the attention of the justices olf the peace of -Indiana county was called to an act of assembly relating to the making of returns of criminal proceedings had before them, the act of assembly requires that the same should be returned within ten days froni the of hear- iag.

J. Mitchell. For District Attorney of Jefferson County. Jefferson county papers announce the candidacy of W. Conrad, for the Republican nomination for district attorney at their ensuing primaries, to be held June 16, 1900, and speak very favorably of both the candidate and his prospects of winning.

Being acquainted with Mr. Conrad, and having known his parents for a long period of years, we are not surprised at the attitude of the people of Jefferson county toward this young attorney, who, if character, ability and loyalty to his party are made the first considerations, we have no hesitation in saying that he should be the nominee of his party at the coming primary. Mr. record from boyhood, both in school life and in the study of law, has been an enviable one, and his close application and natural ability have admirably fitted him for the profession of his choice. The MESSENGER, several years ago, commented upon the early admission of Mr.

Conrad to the practice of law in Jefferson county, and predicted a bright future in after years, which prediction we are glad to see fulfilled, young comes of a sturdy family. John Conrad, who for 40 years was one of the leading members of the Jefferson county bar, was a German, and raised in a log cabin on a farm near Indiana, and whose success in reaching the high position he occupied in the legal profession was due entirely to his own efforts, of which fact the son has found a good example and that he is very proud of. one mother was also of our county. The election of W. 1ST.

Conrad to positions of trust, and the esteem in which he is held by the people of his native town, is the highest recommendation and recognition of his worthiness, and the MESSESGEE and his many friends in this county would be pleased to see the Republican voters of Jeffersoa comity nominate Mm at their primary in June. Another Bold Rofrbery. Punxsuta-wney Spirit, May Misses Sallie, Hattie and Margaret Bell, who live alone in the brick house on the old homestead near Bells Mills, were robbed about 2.30 this morning of all the money about the house. The robbers gained an entrance by putting a ladder up to a window of the room where the women slept. Miss Sallie Bell heard a noise and sat up in bed to listen.

There were three men in the room. They all had handkerchiefs on their faces. One of them said: "Lie down there and keep quiet, or we'll blow your head off. There are six more of us outside. If you keep quiet we will not tie you or abuse you.

All we want is your money." Then they proceeded to search the house and found $160 in money, including three gold pieces which the girls had kept as a memento of their coal sale. After they had gotten the the money one of them, asked: "Where is the $300 you drew from the bank a few days ago?" They were informed that they had loaned it to a nephew. The two other sisters were much frightened, but Miss Sallie couldn't somehow manage to get terrified. She insisted on sitting up in bed and watching the proceedings. "Lie down," yelled one of the burglars.

"Do you want to get "No," she answered, "but I never saw robbers at work before, and it is rather interesting. Besides the house is strange to you, and I thought I might make some suggestions that would help you to get through After the robbers were satisfied that they had all the money, they made the girls promise not to get up until six o'clock, but having for some reason stopped the clock, probably to record the time of their visit, the girls couldn't tell exactly what time it was, but they gave the alarm as early as possible in the morning. There is no clue to the identity of the robbers, but for some mysterions reason three badges, of the kind worn by members of secret societies, were left in the house, apparently by design. John Shill, the German of near Punxsutawney, who was robbed in a similar manner of about $1,000 one night some weeks ago, caused the arrest of Filmore Smith and son Marlin, Carson Smith and son Marion, Richard Reesman and son David on the charge of having committed the crime. It appears that Shill told persons that Filmore Smith was im.r plicated in the robbery and Smith had the old man arrested for slander.

Then Shill had the six men named arrested as stated. They gave $1,500 bail each for their appearance at court. 'Squire ''Torn" Lamison, of Young township, was interviewed by a MESSENGER reporter last Friday in regard to the Bell robbery. He thinks the miscreants are well acquainted in the neighborhood, but he refused to express an opinion in regard to thek identity. Teachers Examinations.

Judge A. D. McConnell, in an exhaustive charge at Greensburg on Friday, reviewed the law governing the sale of liquor by agents, covering many points that have been questioned. As a result, a jury acquitted Herman Brinkman, a beer agent, who, it was alleged, violated the Brooks law in the sale of beer. The case practically disposed of two other like cases.

Brinkman, an agent for a Johnstown brewery, was charged with not only selling beer, but delivering it and collecting the money therefor. The other cases were those of Charles Conto and Boscall, beer agents. The court directed that verdicts of not guilty be rendered and the costs be placed on the county. Sheep May 17, Ella M.
