iP* Hfilloiitribune. THE MOEN-WILSON CASE. The Principal Parties to a Famous Law suit. At present dates the Wilson-Moen caso stands as the great mystery. The watery eyed young man who yet has a square jaw and an insinuating nose, you observe, sues Philip L. Moen, Esq., for £100,000, alleged to be due him on a contract. There had already been paid him on that contract SS50, 000 , he says, anti it is admitted that, a very large sum had been paid. IV ilson was a peer and illiterate youth who did not learn to read and write Ho never went to w LEVI 1». WILSON. when bo was n hoy. school. He lias never given any evidence of being a poor boy who worked his way up till providence blessed his labors and mado him a millionaire. O 11 the contrary, the only marked ability ho seems to havo manifested was a talent for spending money. That ' talent he cultivated assiduously and joyously, till he fairly rivaled Coal Oil Jolmny in ca pacity to run through with wealth. The defendant in the case is Philip L. Moon, of Worcester, Mass. The farmers of America will immediately be in sympathy in a lump with Wilson, when it is mention ed that Moen mado his millions out of the barbed wire fence patents, of which he is owner. They will say' tcy hope Wilson will gouge him well, as he has gouged them with barlied wires for the past twenty pnii.ii> l. moen. yearn. However, the barbed wire fence pat ent lias nm out, and Wilson plainly has gouged him well. Moen owns a beautiful residence in Worces ter, and is a highly respected citizen. He re fused to pay the £ 100 , 000 . hence tho law suit, which he has Avon at the first trial. Cut the law-, instead of clearing up tho matter, has only deepened tho mystery. What did Moen pay Wilson so much money for? However weak Mr. Levi Wilson's whiskers are, his power of keeping a secret is sufficiently strong. Moen denies.there was any secret at all worth speaking of, and declares it Avas a case of pure blackmail. But why, then, did he pay this shroAvd young man $350,000? So far, tho affair shows that secrets can be kept, even in our age of the world, in spite of neAvspapers and detectives. One surmise is that there was a woman story in the re spectable Mr. Moon's case, and that he wouldn't have had it get out for all the world. Innocent citizens of the first water havo been trapped by atrociously wicked women before now-, even when the citizen was 00 years old and no handsomer than Mr. Moen. But on tho other hand, Wilson says, in the statement made to his lawyer, that Moen "told me to dress the other man well, and give him everything he wanted, at bis ex pense." According to this, it was a mnn who was in the cose. Wilson claimed only to be the agent for this other man, and says the sums of money wore got for him. Moen again vowed that there was no other man, aud that Wilson spent the mo lev ''his own self." OIL AND GAS FIELDS IN OHIO. These Minerals Found in Limestone for the First Time. ------ --- ------- JSAWtnJSKY N5ÇNECA f^NDOT BQIN OHIO OIL AND GAS FIELD. Next to the utilization of electricity the discovery of oil and gas in the earth will have moro influence on the industrial progress of tho latter half of tho nineteenth century than any other agency. These oil and gas reser voirs arc nowr bubbling up in all manner of unexpected places. They have at length been found in limestone deposits, where geologists have agreed they never would be found. Tho latest instance of this is in northwestern Ohio, in the region formerly known os tho Black Swamp. It is an interesting question whether this vast quantity of oil and gas bos been recently formed in the bosom of the earth for the use of man, or Avhether it bas existed all these ages since the world began, and man has only just stumbled upon it. Tho probabilities are that these marvelous illuminants are recent formations. The Ohio gas and oil fields include all 01 - part of tho counties Auglaize, Allen, Hardin, Hancock, Putnam, Wood and Wyandot. Tho oil field is especially centered in tho region round about Lima, in Allen county, though gns is found there too. The heart of the gas region is at Findlay, in Hancock count}-. Here flows a gas well so tremendous that its light has been seen sixty miles away. Thirteen million cubic feet in twenty-four hours is the yield of the monster. Tho gas is of quality superior to that arouud Pittsburg. A drug gist said he could no longer giro away his empty boxes for kindling wood in Findlay. Gigantic manufacturing interests are plac ing establishments in the favored new re gions; there is work for everybody and labor ers are flocking thither by the thousand. An unprecedented era of prosperity is predicted for Ohio. Nine thousand barrels of oil and over 50,000,000 cubic feet of gas are already produced dally, with new wells being bored every day.
