O. CRAUG, St. Cloud Build THE KANE WEEKLY BLADE Is Published Every Thursday, At Kane, M'Kean The selection of Hancock by the Cincinnati convention as the standard bearer of the Democracy in the presidential contest seems to meet with general satisfaction. The festival of the Ladies' Mutual Aid Society of the Presbyterian church, on Monday next, promises to be an enjoyable affair. It should be well patronized by our people.

The census returns will show a population of 15,000 for Bradford. This in five years from a small village of less PRIZE FIGHT. (Condensed from Jlraufont Era.) A bloody fight occurred at Haymaker on Monday of this week, which for pure cussedness and brutality exceeds anything that has been brought to our notice for some time. Two roosters, Ed. M'Fad den, a saloon keeper at Eldred, and Silas A.

Young, a driller at Haymaker, had an altercation in the saloon of the former at Eldred some time ago, and in the melee which followed, M'Fadden came out rather the worse for wear. The matter was ended for the time, but M'FacJden, nettled by his defeat and urged on by his friends, challenged Young for a prize fight to test the physical powers of each other, and Haymaker was chosen as the place and Monday at 9 o'clock a. m. the time of meeting, all for a purse of twenty five dollars a side. All parties interested were promptly on hand, and a ring was formed in the street opposite the Red Front Hotel.

Time being called, the pugilists went at it in good earnest. The first round resulted in a complete victory The Well Abandoned Workmen Gone The Standard Charged with Conspiracy. (From the Brookville Jeffersonlan.) "Operations at Stump Creek have taken rather a strange turn during the past week. On Tuesday morning work ceased, and on Wednesday the work men, contractors, and all parties connected with Hunter and Crawford, abandoned the well, endeavoring to leave the impression that it was a dry hole. Their actions, however, only tend to strengthen the popular belief that there is oil there, and this last proceeding is looked upon as the finishing touch to their long career of fraud and chicanery.

It is now apparent to all that for ten days, or perhaps from the time the rigging was fenced in, that the work has been to conceal instead of develop, and it is now our candid belief that so far as the Stump Creek well is concerned, no developments can ever be made through it just how many obstructions have been placed in the hole, they themselves can only tell. This opinion is only strengthened when it is known that on Wednesday Hunter and Crawford agreed to settle upon the basis of a fifty, barrel well (the terms of the sale to Hunter and Crawford, as pub lished in the Spirit several months ago being as follows if a 20 barrel well, $2, OOO; It 50, IOO, 200, 000), thus agreeing to pay the Stump Creek oil company, the sum of 3,000. This information we received from Mr. Reiter, president of the Stump Creek oil company, hunsell. It is not probable that Hunter and Crawford, agents, after expending in the neighborhood of 60, 000 in the vicinity of the well, for leases and land, would still further agree to settle upon the basis of a fifty barrel well, had the test proven a M.

Reiter very promptly refused to entertain the proposition, feeling satisfied that the well, if in shape, would be capable of more than double that amount, and claims that future deyelopments will bear him out in what he says. Another straw which has some bearing' in the case is the fact that during the past ten days they have procured several wooden plugs from four to six feet in length, from parties in the locality, and the absence of these about the premises is evidence that they have been used for some purpose. A blacksmith named Miller, residing in Henderson township, crawled inside of the fence and heard two of the workmen discussing the possibility and probability of them being able to fix the hole so the gas and oil could not be noticeable. Whether, the Standard oil company has a hand in the Stump Creek business or not, we cannot say, but if they havn't, some other monopoly just as mean and dishonest and unscrupulous has had the control. We have recently learned that a portion of the Bradford oil company are directors in the United pipe lines, an important auxiliary of the Standard, and the inference is that the Standard's agents have been bossing the job.

"The ways of the oil men are about as dark as those of the 'heathen and if our people suppose that none of the half score who have been making their headquarters at this place for a month past, are in sympathy with the recent transaction on Stump Creek, they are mistaken nay, duped." REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVEN TION. Pursuant to call the Republican county convention convened in the M. E. church building, Smethport, on Tuesday of this week.

Reserve yout orders for him. iani tf Mr.

Joseph Scholz, the watchmaker, met with a serious accident on Saturday. He was employed at a piece of work that required a lamp, and he lighted a small alcoholic lamp which he used on such occasions, when it exploded, throwing the burning fluid into his face, burning him in a shocking manner. His lips, nose, eyebrows, and other portions of his face, are disfigured. One of his ears is badly burned. It is a wonder he did not lose his eyesight, but we understand it is not impaired in the least.

FATAL ACCIDENT. On Thursday evening last the citizens of our town were shocked with the news that Albert VoHmer, son of Louis Vollmer, had accidentally shot himself in the woods near the farm of Mr. Charles Ritter, in Bcn zinger township. We glean the following facts relative to the accident About 11 o'clock on Thursday, Albert had finished hoeing potatoes, and he informed his mother that he would go out and gather some strawberries. He took his shot gun with him.

He started toward the windfall and going into the woods in the rear of Mr. Charles Ritter's farm, he met two young men who were peeling bark. He entered into conversation with them and while they were eating their dinner he chopped down a hemlock tree, after which he took a seat upon a log near where the tree fell, and was conversing with his companions, who were peeling the tree he had just fallen. He had his gun resting on his knee. Some bark had fallen upon the butt of his gun, but he had paid no attention to it.

When he yas ready to start he pulled the gun, with the muzzle toward him, when the hammer caught on a piece of bark and coming down the load was dis charged, entering his side a little below the fight nipple, about one half of the charge passing through his lungs and the balance striking the ribs, followed around and lodged in the muscles of the back. His companions did what they could for their wounded companion, one running for Dr. Hartman. while the other stayed with the wounded boy. As soon as assistance arrived a litter was made and he was carried to his home where he was laid upon his bed.

He lived but about ten minutes after he arrived at home. The sad news was a terrible blow to the family of the deceased, who have scarcely recovered from the news of the sudden death of a son and brother in Colorado. Deceased was about 17 years old, a hard working and steady young man, The family have the sincere sympathy of the community in their affliction. The remains of deceased were buried in the Catholic cemetery on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. St.

In the second round the other eye of M'Fadden was closed and his lower jaw broken, his opponent not even receiving a scratch. He was dragged to his corner, his face presenting a sickening appearance. When the third round wasicalled he failed to come to time, and Young was declared the victor by the referee. M'Fadden was removed to the hotel, and was attended by a physician, who ventured the remark that his nose might answer for a smeller, but would never amount to anything as an ornament. As Haymaker is without officers of the law, no arrests have been made.

Brad ford Era. EXTRAORDINARY FIN A CEERING. How the County Commissioners are Squandering the People's Money. That noted dignitary, Commissioner Wm. J.

Colgrove, has again come boldly to the front and shown M'Kean county another masterly stroka of financial ability. C. K. Sartweil, the recently employed clerk, has been superseded by Mr. John R.

Shoemaker, of Clermont, and the salary of the office, we understand, has been increased from $750 to per year. Mr. Sartweil was employe by Commissioners Abbey and Boyer, but they were bulldozed by Colgrove into the new arrangement. Without attempting to enter into the merits of the case, we wish to say that Mr. Sartweil is as competent as his predecessor can We, aad was willing to do the work for $750, which would be a clear saving of $350 to the county.

The truth of the matter is, Mr. Shoemaker is a favorite of Colgrove's and this accounts for the new financial policy on the part of the philosophical William J. Colgrove, who should be placed in some position where his extraordinary financial abilities could have full scope. Perhaps he could be induced to look after the Indian affairs or some equally important public matter. The eyes of the Government should be turned this way.

Soon as our worthy enumerator gives us the exact figures, we will publish them for the information of the general public.

Tarport has again been visited with a terrible conflagration, and this time nearly the whole of the business portion of the town was destroyed, the loss ag gregating thousands of dollars. These fires are becoming a necessary append' age to the prosperity of an oil town. I he Ashtons dramatic troupe are billed for this town on Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings, July 2, 3 and 5, at Davis Hall, and as our people have seen them before, we bespeak for them full houses every eyening. The dramas enacted by this troupe are standard plays by the best authors, and cannot fail to give general satisfaction. The strawberry and ice cream festival at Davis' Hall on Thursday evening last, for the benefit of the M.

E. church, passed off pleasantly, and was a success financially as well as socially. The net proceeds were about forty dollars, which amount was beyond the expectations of the friends of the enterprise. The people of Kane and vicinity came out in force, as they always do on such occa sions, all of which is duly appreciated. The citizens of Kane and vicinity have subscribed nearly two hundred dollars for the benefit of Frank English, the young man who was injured in the bark woods some three weeks ago.

English is now considered out of danger, though it will he some lime before he fully recovers his usual health and strength. Mr. T. S. James has the list, and any who are desirous of subscribing will find him ready to take down their names.

The cause is a worthy one.

The Clarion Republican publishes the following "At four o'clock on Thursday afternoon last Mrs. Samuel Bealcs.

of Beaver City, went from her new rest dence, recently built, to an old one near by, for the purpose of getting meat for the family's supper. She did not return, and her long absence finally led the fam ily to send a young daughter in search of her. She found her mother hanging in the house from a rope which had been tied around a rafter and a slip noose put about her neck. The woman's knees were bent, and within six inches of the floor, on which her feet rested. The knife and plate which she had taken to get the meat were at her side.

There is no cause known for her committing such an act, and the event is a sad surprise to her friends. She told the hired girl at noon that something would happen that afternoon and this showed that the deed was premeditated. She was well at that time and apparently happy. She was forty seven years of had a large family." FESTIVAL. The Ladies' Mutual Aid Association of the Kane Presbyterian church invite the children of Kane to a festival on the fifth of July.
