Traces of the oil springs can be founfi in a space fifty feet wide, all in wet, marshy ground, lying in a hollow, which has been oonaiderably washed by the lat-e storms. the same indications are to be found on the: farm of Mr. Vnil, and the oil is found on the aurfape in a direct line southwestjrom that on Mr. Eigenhart’a place. Mr. Vail has been offered a large qmdunt for his farm alrmdy. ‘ Mr. Eisenhar’c has not yet denided what to do in the matter, but traces of oil have been noticed here for years by different parties, although not so abundnnfly M at present, and every indication points to a large deposit of oil that; only needs a little labor to secure sufficient to determine its value. Much Perishable Freight lining Sold by the Rallan company. A Chicago dosputch says: There is danger that UllllS-‘J the lliinois Central strike is settled soon it will spread to other roads. The Big Four, which has a. wrack- sge arrangement with the Illinors Central, finding its business obstructed by the Illi- nois Central strike, has made an arrange- ment with the Chiosgo dz Eastern Illinois Railroad to handle its Chicago business. The strikers suspected that the Illinois Centre] was also using the Chicago «81' Eastern Illinois tracks, and sent word to the switchmen of that road not to handle any Illinois Central cars. The request was complied with, and the Eastern Illinois switchmen refused to handle any more. Big Four cars. Thirteen ears of perishable freight are side-tracked at Kankakec. Lsrgequuntities of fruit, berries, wuten melons and the like are side trsoked at various points down the line almost to the city limits, and are fast rotting in the broiling sun. Freight merchants are send- ing caravans of transfer and exprena wag- gons all along the line of the road from Forty-third to Sixty-fifth street, buying up the perishable stuff. The order to sell these goods was given by the officials of the road. After an allvday Session, the con- ference between the strikers’ committees and the Illinois Central officials ended with the positive refusal of the railway company to discharge Superintendent Russell. The ultimatum of the employees had been a demand for Mr. Russell’s discharge. Speculation is rife as to whether a general strike throughout the Illinois Central sys- tem will be ordered.

The oil covers thu water with a thick scum of a bluish cast and lines the water- way through the field. A lighted match was placed on “If! water, and althoth the oil did not burn the water did not. extin- guish the lighted match.

Hearing of the discovery 2m Ilztulm‘l'g/mcm' reporter visxted the spot on 'l‘uusdav and was shown over the place by Mr. Eisen- hart. They vis‘ted the spot where the oil was found, which is in a low-lying marshy field, with a. clay top soil underlaifi with a stratum of red gravel sand. The oil is anpr posed to lie in the subsoil and tho heavy rains, swelling the amount of water, forum: its way through the clay surface soil, car- rying with it the oil.

The Washington evening Critic hes the following : ” The Critic is in a position to state as a. matter of undoubted and shoon lute fact that the present state of nonfuâ€" sion in which the Behring Sen. qumti m is involved is the result of the President’s r0- pudiatiou of an arrangement betwuen b‘ecv rotary Blaine and Lord Salisbury, the Prime Minister of Englanfi. One of the first subjects taken up by Mr. Blaine slum he had fairly settled clown to the work in his department was that of the seal fisher- ies in Behring Sea. The question came to him in an unsettled shapn because of the notorious impossibility of Secretary Buy- ard’s obtaining anything like (no-operation or support from the Senate. That Mr. Blaine took virtually the same View of the matter as was entertained by Mr. Bayard will be sufficiently demonstrated when all the facts in the ossa shall have been pub~ lished. But meanwhile it is sufficient to state that Mr. Blaine, after the most cars- ful and exhaustive examination on his own part, and an abundant interchange of son- timsnt and suggestion with Lord Salie bury, entered into an agreement with that high funetionury. It was an ugreement entirely satisfactory to both, an agreement which recognized the rights and interests of the United States equally with those of England, and its ratification would have definitely terminated s most vexetious and untoward, not to any menacing, controversy. This agreement the Pn-sialent flatly refused to anuetion." From top m bottom of brenatbone or sternum, one-half length of head. From bottom of sternum to beginning 0f lower limbs, two lengths.

As a starter, he has his salary of $50,000. There is a further sum of 525,000 allowed him to spend as he sees fit in reoarpeting his rooms and making his domestic apartments comfortable in the matter 0!! furniture. Sixteen thousand dollars or thereabouts is set aside to pay for his gas and electric lights. Three thousand dollars is allowed him {or coals. To keep his greenhouses in order so as to furnish him with buttonhole bouquets and flowers to present to his friends $57,000 is appropriated. A thousand dollars is allotted him for his front garden, and $5,000 for his back garden If his kitchen pipes should happen to burst in the winter there is a 552,500 plumbers’ bill for him to draw upon. He has no servants to provide except a neck and soullions and ohambermaids. Congress furnishes him with a steward and everything else in the servant line at a cost of about $15,000. He has not even to provide matches. The appropriation for fuel and lights distinctly specifies that it shall include matches. He has to buy his butcher’s meat and groceries and his wine, howaver, when he gives a dinner party. Pretty nearly all else ls given him, and lest there should be some- thing overlooked a contingent fund of $8,000, which he is at liberty to spend as he thinks proper, rendering no account to any» body, is added as a cap sheaf. The total appropriations for the domestic economy of the Executive Mansion, excluding the salâ€" aries of the private secretaries and clerks engaged solely on official business, foot up $132,500.
