p CHARGES MADE
ARKlnat Several Prominent Charleston
People for Varlonn Office*.
Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 15
John H. Caroweithen, well known
over the state as a leader among
the Red Men, is charged with de
faulting^to the amount of $800. He
strenuously denies the charge.
Caroweithen was stricken with par
alysis over a year ago, and since
I then lias been blind.
Professor P. B. Burbridge, prin
cipal .of the colored schools, is
charged with immoral practices aud
has been suspended indefinitely,
pending an investigation, by the
s4chool board. He is charged with
keeping young girls in the school
room after hours, and thereby ruin
ing them. It is claimed by his
friends that there is nothing in the
charges, and is only a maneuver on
the part of his enemies to remove
him from office.
Watts & Ashby, the well known
law firm, composed of General C.
C. Watts, the late Democratic can
didate for governor, and W. L.
Ashby, of this city, are defendants
in a law suit recently instituted in
the circuit court of this county
The suit is brought by Mrs. Eliza
beth Ferrell, of Boone county, and
the c ise might be said to be the
talk of the town at present. It is
alleged that the detendents, who
have been acting as the attorneys
for Mrs. Ferrel, have defrauded her
out of a sum amounting to $3,000
The defendants, Watts and Ashby,
negotiated for the sale ol some real
estate in Boone county, for the plan
tiff. She alleges that the property
was sold for $3,000 more than the
amount received by her, and that
the attorneys withheld the true con
ditions of the deal from her and
pocketed the difference.

Three HhiNlrrt Expelled ?iid?en?nred
Special t* the Review.
Bridgeport, O., Feb. 16. ? The
Review, a tew days since, noted the
fact that a scandal in the Western
Theological seminary of Allegheny,
Pa., was to be aired at a special I
meeting of the Presbytery, of St.
Clairsville, Ohio. Yesterday, the
Presbytery met, and as a result of
their labors they severely censured
W J. Hutchisson, D. M. Lyle and
J M. Patterson, and expelled J. D.
Fulton from the church. In sub
stance the charges against the
?. young ministers were that they
with three others had entered a
house of ill repute at Pittsburg
The young men are from this Pres
bytery and when their offenses be
came known they were ordered by
the faculty of the seminary to ap
pear here for trial
Revs. Hutchison, Lyle and Patter
son expressed sorrow and regret
They said they did not recognize
the enormity of their actions, but
said they went to ? the house more
out of curiosity. They were let off
with a reprimand. Fulton was the
only one who appeared in person.
He made a defense, but as the fac
ulty of the school had not made
any special recommendation to
t clemency in his case his license to
preach was revoked and he was ex
pelled from the Presbytery Thus
ended the case. It was quite a sen
sational one and attracted very
wide attention in church circles all
over the country.

Special t? the Review.
Wheeling, Feb. 1 6. ? The famous
old society of Zoar, out the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie railway, is about
to disband. The society was formed
by Joseph Bimeler in 1820, and at
one time had 9,000 acres of land
under cultivation and over $500,000
on deposit. Bimeler left Germany
to escape political prosecution, and
he was followed to this country bv
many of his associates, They set
tl d atxZoar, and made Bimeler
^ king. He ruled with a firm hand
until his death. One of the most
interesting sights about the old set
tlemeut is the decaying mansion
that was occupied by iht king.
The immense fund which accum
ulated during the war has been re
duced gradually until now it but
iojly represents the wealth it once
did. The society has ninety-two
nu mbers, but there is enough in
the treasury to leave each well fixed
for life.
The proceedings incident to a
windup of the affairs of the society
are now progressing. For years
t'rve place has been a favorite sum
f., mer resort. One attraction was the
excellent beer brewed by the Zoar
ites who were adepts in the art ot
brewing
Cases rets stimulate liver, kidneys
bowels. Never sicken, weaken
or gripe.
From Foot to Knee
Ohio Woman Suffered Croat Agony
From a Terrible Soro ? Her Story
of the Case, and Her Cure.
" For many years I was afflicted
with a inijl-: leg, and a few years ago it
broke out in a sore and spread from my
foot to my knee. I suffered gr^at agony.
It would burn and itch all the time and
discharge a great deal. My health was
good with the exception of this sore. I
tried a great many kinds of salves, bat
some of them would irritate it so that I
could hardly stand it. I could not go near
the fire without suffering intensely. Some
one sent me papers containing testimo
nials of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla and I
told my husband I would like to try this
medicine. He got me a bottle and I found
it helped me. I kept on taking it until
my limb was completely healed. I cannot
praise Hood's Sarsaparilla enough for the
great benefit it has been to me. It
cleanses the blood of all impurities and
leaves it rich and pure." Mrs. Anna E.
| Eaken, Whittlesey, Ohio.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is sold by all drug
! gists. $1; six for $5. Be sure to get Hood's.
Petrol ?Mim Exports in Jannary.
The export demand for American
oils during January shows a falling
off as compared with December,
but is considerably in excess of
January a year ago. The total ex
ports of crude, naphthas, illumin
ating, lubricating and paraffin oils
and residuum for January were
85,412,917 gallons, valued at $3,
989,811. For January, 1897, they
were 61,006,066 gallons and valued
at $4,081,845. Owing to the decline
in prices an increase of over 24,
000,000 gallons is accompanied by
a decrease of $92,034 in the value
returned. Compared with Decem
ber the January exports show a de
cline of 5.378,986 gallons in amount
and $875,483 in value. These fig
ures are from the official reports of
the chief of the bureau of statistics,
at Washington.
For the seven months ending
January 31, 1898, the exports of
petroleum and its products amount
ed to 617,984,401 gallons, and were
valued at $34,455,045, as compared
with 563,203,814 gallons, valued at
$37,223,217 for the seven months
ending January 31, 1897. This is
a gain of 54,780,587 gallons in
amount and a loss of $2,768,172 in
value.
The total exports of refined and
crude oil, lubricating and paraffine
oil, naphtha aud residuum for De
cember were 90,791,903 gallons,
valued at $4,865,294. For Novem
ber they amounted to 82,076,014
gallons and were valued at $4,964,
730. For December. 1886, the pe
troleum exports were 86,353,163
gallons, valued at $5,631,855. The
lower prices reaiized in 1897 for re
fined and its products are responsi
ble for this falling off in value.
The year 1897 was the greatest
on record in the petroleum export
trade, but refined oil declined very
close to the figures realized in 1892
and 1893. The total exports of
petroleum for 1897 were 994,297,757
gallons, valued at $5i,c>57>547- In
1896 they were 931,785,022 gallons,
valued at $62,764,278. So that
while sending 62,512.735 gallons
more abroad in 1897 than the year
before we realize for the same $3,
706,731 less. Our exports ot pe
troleum and its products for 1895
amounted to 854,126.130 gallons,
and were valued at $56,224425,
while those of 1 894 were 894,863, 1 55
gallons, valued at $40,483,088
Of the entire amount of oil ex
ported in 1897, 795-9I9>525 gallons
were illuminating and 121,488,726
gallons were crude oil. The re
maiiider consisted of naphtha, lu
brtcating and paraffin oils and resi
duum. The total exports were
equivalent to a crude consumption
ot 28,160,000 barrels, or a daily
average ol over 77,000 barrels,
The exports for Jrnuary were dis
tributed as follows: Crude, 8,836,
695 gallons; naphthas, 1,070,538
gallons; illuminating oil. 67,074.120
gallons; lubricating and paraffin
oils, 5,304.614 gollons; residuum,
3,127,950 gallons. The total of
mineral oils shipped from New
York was 52.579.553 gallons; Ph;l
adelphia, 22.184 781 gallons; Dela
ware ports, 7,491,448 gallon*; Bal

Lenion Begolfttlou*.
Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, falls on the 23rd day of Feb
ruary.
1. All the faithful who have com
pleted their 21st year and not begun
their 60th, are, unless legitimately
'dispensed, bound to ooserve the first
of Lent.
2. They are to make only one
meal a day, excepting Sundays.
3. The meal allowed on fast days
is not to be taken until about noon.
4. If on any day permission
should be granted to eat meat, both
flesh and fish are not to be used at
the same time, even on Sundays.
5. A small refreshment, com
monly called collation, is allowed in
the evening. No general rule as to
the quantity of food permitted at
this time can be made. The prac
tice should be not to let it exceed
the fourth part of an ordinary meal.
6. The quantity of food permitted
at the collation is bread, fruits,
salads, vegetables and fish. For
the present the use of eggs, milk
and butter is tolerated by special
adult, both at the collation and the
principal meal.
7. In the morning some warm
liquid, as tea, coffee or thiu choco
late, made with water, together
with a little piece of bread, may be
taken.
8. Dripping or lard, instead of
butter, may be used in preparing
permitted food. ^
i 9. The following persons are ex
empted from the obligation of fast
ing: Young persons under 21 years
of age; those who have reached
their 60th year; the sick; nursing
women; those who are obliged to
do hard work; and all who through
sickness can not fast without great
prejudice to their health; the poor,
who have nothing but bread and
meat, or not bound either to fast or
abstain.
10. When dinner cannot be taken
at noon, the holy see, for the pres
ent, allows the collation to be taken
in the morning and the dinner in
the evening, nothing, however, to
be taken in the interval.
11. By dispensation, the use of
flesh meat will be allowed at any
time on Sundays and once a day 011
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, with the exception of
Ember Saturdays and Holy Satur
day.
12. Those dispensed from the
fast for other causes than tender or
advanced age of hard labor, as well
as those who are bound to fast, are
permitted to eat meat only at one
meal on the days above mentioned.
13. The time during which the
obligation of a worthy Pascal com
munion must be fulfilled extends
from the first Sunday in Lent till
Trinity Sunday, inclusive. The
holy season of Lent is a very proper
time, also, for children to make
their first confession, which gener
ally they ought to do at about seven
years of age. Parents and pastors
should see to this. The Lenten
ember days or any other convenient
time may be appointed by the pas
tors for this purpose.
Jnnuary
In the Pennsylvania oil fields,
during the month of January, there
were a few more than 300 wells
completed, more than a third of
which were dry, and of the total
new production, about 9.000 barrels
all the fields other than the south
west produced but little more than
1,000 barrels. There was an all
around falling off in operations,
such as under the effect of natural
conditions should have promptly
advanced the crude market.
In the Ohio fields there were 166
wells completed, with a production
of 3,000 barrels, representing a de
crease of about 1,100 barrels. The
average of the production of the
January wells was also the smallest
for any month in the past year.
In the Indiana fields there were
but 54 wells completed during the
month, and 21 of them were dry
holes, the total new production be
ing barely 800 barrels, representing
a drop of 44 wells and of 1,700 bar
rels in new production from the
record of the previous month.
As has been stated, if natural
and not artificial conditions had re
gained control in the oil business
if natural competitive conditions
were again dominant- the crude
market would have made a marked
advance on the showing made by
the month's developments. But
these competitive conditions are
growing and will ultimately force
he right readjustment of prices as
between $425 Standard Oil Trust
paper and 65 cent. Pennsylvania
oil. which are relative prices today
(Feb. 7th) at which the two are
quoted in Standard made markets.
Petroleum Gazette.
No, the Standard organs are not
vet quoting the price the Producers
& Refiners Company pays for Penn
sylvania oil.
Cancer
Of the Face.
Mrs. Laura E. Mims.of Smithville.Ga.,
says: "A small pimple of a strawberry
color appeared on my cheek; it soon
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand
ing all efforts to check it. My
feye became terribly
infjamed, and was so
swollen that for quite
a while I could not
see. The doctors
said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type, and after ex
hausting their effort*
without doing me
any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When in
formed that my father had died from
the same disease, they said I must die,
as hereditary Cancer was incurable.
"At this crisis, I was advised to try
S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months, then it began to
heal. I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en
tirely. This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease."
