Clkvelaxd, O., April 10. Gentlemen
connected with the Diamond Mutch Com-puny,
ouo of tho greatest monopolies in the
country, imparted startling information to
your correspondent to-day. When tho tariff
bill was before Congress, Mr. Swift, the
President, and Mr. O. C. Barber, Vico President
of the Diamond Match Company, appeared
before the committees and worked
tho lobbies to have tho tax on matches retained.
At tho time it was thought
this action was to better tho condition
of tho Diamond Match Company,
who had driven all tho small
manufacturers out of business by combining
all the large match factories in this
country and Canada. Now it appears that
tho notion was taken with hopes that tho
opposition would cause tho mutch tax to be
abolished instead of continued. Tho Diamond
Match Company operate immense
factories nt Akron, O., Wilmington, Del.
Chicago, nml other points in the United
States and Canada. At the Akron factory
alone the company turned out in the mouth
of March. u,000 gross of matches, a gross
being 141 boxes, which tctailat eight cents
each. This is the greatest amount ever
turned out by this factory in the
Minio period. Tho profits heretofore
nt tlie Akion factory have
been about $800,00(1 per year. When
the stamp tax is abolished the company
will put in pocket as a clour pi out $1.44 on
each gross, which heretofore went for
stamps. This will make an extra profit
of .'?8,Of!0 per month, or tho enormous sum
of Sl.O'iO.OUO extra profit in one year. This
Is for the Akron tactory only, the other
factories having tho same or nearly the
same capacity. According to those figures
the men who form the Diamond Mutch
Company will all be milliouaries at the end
of tin noKt twelve months. They do
not anticipate that the retail price
of mutches will be reduced for
a ye.ir, nt lnst, and do not
care if the biggest kind of a reduction
comes after that time, as all irnniedlirely
oonccrned in ilie conpiuy will have
iiiihyoihletii Iv i -li. and will lie rtinl
to retiie ft out b.t.smess. Tho Difiuiumi
Mutch Company bus piovcd itself one
the greatest monopolies of tlie age. t'..i
years they delighted in paying tho riniup
tax, and secured stamps to
mounts froin tho Government at a discount,
and drove out all the biuall
on the American continent. The
company Is composed of Swift, of
Dol.; 0. C. Harbor, of Akron. ().; J.
F. Hopkins, of St. Louis, Mo.; J. M.
of Akron, ()., and hull' a dozen others
in tho Eastern States.

A Valuable Find of the Lubricant at
Canon City, Colorado.
Cvxox City, Coi.o April-10. A coal oil
vein has been tapped here. Soveral
from tho well have been exhibited,
and provo to bo the best quality of lubricating
pit, which is moro valuable than
the oidinary refined oil. Tho only thing
which remains to be tested is tlie quantity.
No continuous pumping has
yet been done. All tho oil which has been
taken out so far has been brought up by
tho sand pump. The well has only renohe'd
tho second strata of oil-bearing sand, and
it is being sunk to the third, whore it is
confidently expected by tho exports directing
the works ft largo body of oil will bo
struck. Tho woll hus been sunk through
over 1,000 feet ot shalo rook, and
has just reached a point whoro
tho shalo is poms and honey
combed. Tho experts who aro sinking tho
well say thoy never met with so large a
body of shalo over oil in Pennsylvania.
This is regarded as indicating' n largo volume
of oil when the proper depth lias been
reached. Olf of n similar quality has been
discovered in shallow-test wolls about
eight miles north of tho present
test well, and about ten miles south
of it. This indicates an area of
about twenty miles squaro of known
oil-bearing ground. Tho woll is sunk on
the Lobach farm, located about six miles
from hero on tho Arkansas river. Thero
is great excitement in tho community, nnd
speculation in tho oil region runs high.
Tho land oflico has been overrun tho past
week with applicants for untakeu lands,
nnd every vncant lot hns already been taken.
Tho effect of the discovery on property
in this scotion can hardly bo overestimated
should tho further developments
bear out the expectations already formed,

Scene.
Eme, Pa., April 10. Mary Jnno and
Samuel Young had a hearing Jicfore Recorder
Marvin, on tho charge of wilfully
murdering Ihtlnh Young, their brother,
who, they allege, took his own life. Tho
brother and sister were arrested on suspicion,
because after swearing they knew
nothing of tlie missing revolver, or tho
pocket-book of tho deceased, containing
$300, tho woman was detected
in the act of concealing
a weapon under tho bed, and the pocket-book
which had belonged to the dead man
was found hid in the pillow. After these
discoveries the defendants still maintained
their innocence, and denied knowing thnt
the weapon and wallet were eoiu'e.iled.
At tin hearing Mary ljioe dowi an.l confessed
io hilling the pistol win
found. II or attorneys pleaded that the
was secreted to ludo the cause
of death, suiciding Iwdng cntisideml
by ti.em. In the lijiht of these
developments tiic Coroner committed both
to stand trial for murder. The oitngs
came from a good f.tniily of lai'ded gentry
in li eland. One uncle 'n the Queen'
ir and is enjrajred i'or the Crown in the
of tlie CftAei.dUh murderers,
and mint her is a prominent Presbyterian
divine in County Down. The family is
Protestant, anil hold considerable property
to the family by the Prince
of Orange. Since their arrival in this
country Ralph, Maty and Samuel havo
lived by themselves in a proud, iolnted
way. refusing all oners of friendship and
neighl orly iioi(iuiititance, considering thorn-solve
socially superior to the citizens
of llrii. At the funeral of tho
di'ceiised thn detevdiiuls ci cited quite
a scene. The iiitevni'iit took place at
diik. secretly, io noid a croud. The only
mourners wuie the two defendants in custody,
and I tic only spectators were two
Iolicemcu, a magistrate, and the undertaker.
.Samuel a. anted to make a speech
over tho grave, and called upon the dcud
man to rise up to save or damn him. Mary
went into hysterics, and but for tho clutch
of tho officer would have fallen into tho
yawning grave.

inotcor fell in tho outskirts of tho town,

tho dwelling house of Martinez
Garcia, a Mexican herdsman, who with his
family, consisting of a. wife nnd five
children, nro buried beneath the ruins. In
its descent tho meteor resembled a mnssivo
ball of fire, nnd tiio shock was similar to
that of nn earthquake. It is still hot nnd
steaming. It is embedded in the earth
probably 100 feet, and towera above tho
surface about seventy feet, and will cover
about ono acre of ground. Tlie concussion
was terrific, nearly every window

filled with a sulphurous gns. Tho wildest
confusion prevailed, as it was a long

for mouths to come. It has occasioned
great excitement not only here but all over

London, April 10. Tho appearanco of
General Milieu in a managing position at
Paris attracts much nttcntion from tho
Government and considerable interest from
the Nationalists. Since his part in Irish
mntters bus never been activo since 1800,
and ho is not now regarded ns at all radical
in Anglo-Irish matters, his mission
seems to be to perfect from Puris tho Irish
revolutionary movement botli in Ireland
and England, and the semi-Conservatism
which has surrounded him for sixteen years
makes tlic Government regard him as especially
dangerous. Ho is acting in tho
name and by nuthority of nn American-Irish
revolutionary society, and is understood
to have control of plenty of money.
General Milieu has not mado himself
