A Railroad Rumor, The Charleston papers give currency to i rumor that Senator John E. Keona hai been elected President cf the Coal Rivt1 Railroad Compeny. Oil and Ohs Notes. Last Sunday an oil rig near Newport, O., took fire and was drstroyed under very peculiar circumstances. There was 8 shortage of water, and the men worktop at the rig tapped an oil tank and drew rf water from under the oil for use in nrakto; steam. By and by the water ran out, end oil began to find its way into the boiler In some way this oil caught fire from tin furnace, Bill the rig and a considerahlt stock of oil wai destroyed. The work of drilling oat the collapsei tabiog of the well at Belmont, lbeasanli county, has been abont concluded, ant work will be resumed. About two o three mouths ago about fifty or sixty quails of glycerine was dropped into tin well, and was supposed to have gone ti the bottom of the hole, as usual. Thi pressure of gas, however, caused tin charge to stick about lour hnudred led from the bottom, aud wlioo the “go-devil’ wee dropped on it and it was exploded things were ripped up in the well in i very lively way. It is slid the Birnesville gas well,wind was each a howler when first struck, i playing out at a rapid rate, aud the scliemi ofpipirg the gas to town will likely b abandoned. The oil excitement at Caaonsbnrg is stil growing and the search for available terri tory by the lease hunters is very actively carried on just now. James Tannebill wbos> laud lies near the Gladdeu farm oi which the gnelier was found, has leased hii farm to John McKeown for a bonus o $10,000 and one-eighth royalty. Rober McNav also leased to McKeown for tbi same royalty and a bonus of $12,000. Dr Ras->elt has leased a lot of laud for $!(>( bonus, and the Kav. Speer his lot for $50( bonus. A number ot wells have been located ii the vicinity oi the Gladdeu we 1 and eevera rigs are being bailt. The oi! men are gatii ering in the town and the business men c. the place say they are alrerdy erjoymg tin foretaste of a boom. 7" .. .. 1 oe meu uv voik uu iuc uu uj Anderson's Knn have struck the earn rock.

Whei they returned ibey found a small quantit] cf oil in the well, which they pumped out and then proceeded to drill on down t< the heavier strata of bandatons. Wbei this is rtached they have every belief lbs they will find oil in paying quantities. A Talk About Nalls and Irou. “Anything aew in the nail situation?’ asked a reporter cf a manufacturer yester day. “Nothing new I think «f.;’ “When will the Nail Association havi another meeting?” “There is no Nail Association now. I ha8, you kaow, been dissolved.” “Well when will the manufacturers b< oiled together to ratify the proposed new association or company, aad complete the erganizstion?” “That is something I cannot tell yon. 1 know of no call for a meeting having been | sent ont a9 yet, and to paraphrase th€ I words of the poet, it may not be for weeks | and it may net be forever. It is juBt a lit* j tie uncertain.” “Well, bow is the market for nails?” “Just a little dnll at the present time, hnt the market was pretty good the first part of the mouth and we lock for a very good trade the remainder of the month, , and very likely from then on for a while. I Prices are a little better, and con j sidering all tbingB wo cannot complain much. Nails, yon know, are not fold now a3 they nsed to he, and when a dealer purchases a car load of assorted nails, the lot is averaged up so that the manufacturer now receives about f2 00 per ! keg all around. “But there '8 to be an advance in rates on iron to Chicago, the first of September, which wili add about 1 to 1J cents to a keg of nails, I believe, and in consequence of this a great many nails will he Rbipped west before the r.ew rates go into effect “Yes, there is a pretty good demand for muck iron from Pittsburg, and it promises to continue some little time. Most of the iron from Wheeling goes into pipe, the National Tabe works being a very heavy 1 consumer.” Industrial Notes. Fisher’s foundry is running fall, with lots of orders. i The Benwood factory closed down yes | terday, and wili probably be off some lit j tie time. The comptny has a good stock I of nails on hand. Oao of the nail mills has booked orders for ti.OOO kegt of the new light nail, one order being for 1,500 kegs. There is a very wide difference ot opinion as to the utility of the new venture. The planing mills are very busy. Beltz, Flading & Co. have a number of orders, among them an addition 20x04 feet to the Seventieth slieet soap factory, and a new boiler Loose for the Keymaun Brewing Co. Tho Ciptina co^l works are doing a good bnsinees, taming ont fiotn twelve to fif teen hundred bushels per day. The miner* in and around theee works are nicely situ ated, and, judging from appearances, thc-ir homes are exceedingly neat and comfort al.le SOMETHING OF A SCANDAL In Which an Uptown Business Sian Is Inter ested. A little sensation has come to light in which a well-known up lawn business man is interested, and over which a certain cir cle on the Sontli Side is pretty well worktd up. Of course there is a woman in the matter, else it would not prove interest ing. The badness man is married and he bed n domestic iu bis house—a German girl— at the time the story openp, which wan about nine mouths since. The yonng wo man remained with the family some three months after the time mentioned, and the cause of her leaving was that she was in a condition that an unmarried woman should not, according to the laws ot God and man, be in. Her seducer, it is alleged, sent her home end paid her to stay there until the event ful time came when she should become a mother. Whether any attempt to prevent this uudc3ired occurrence was made, is not set forth, bnt if there was it did not prove successful. Some days since the married man's wife presented him with an heir and there was joy in the household. Not many days efterwatd another child was born in another licme, but the occasion wai not a happy one. The child came into the wo-hl to be grec-trd by tears and sorrow, and whsfc is worse it is now lelt without eveu a mother, becanee the nnwiee yonng womau never recovered, and died in less than a dey after her child wss born. The wife knows nothing of this side of the story, and tbeie is nothing more to be told at present. It is not a new tale. sknFto jail. Ihe Three I’ittafcarg B. y» Held for ft Hear ing Tuesday.

Martin broke down in the Justice office, and ciitd, bnt the other boys maintained their stolid indifference to their situation.

Sonic Mistake Aliout It. Tho following is from the Atlanta C’on i dilution of recent date: “Elhkbtox, Ga., August 19.—[Special | —The Eibertcn Institute is without a prin cipal. Professor Wcofter’s resignation khf received last Tuesday and will have to be , accepted. Accompanying the resignation is a letter to the Board cl Tiustee", in which ha says he dislikes very much to give np the school heie, but bis eppoiut meDt as superintendent of the public schools of West Virginia, his native State, necessitates an acceptance. The recent dis cussion of, and opposition to, the Elbeiton schools may have something to do with it, at least thus some people snrmisa. Elber ton loses much by his resignation, and hie new appointment at his home is as high a compliment as could lie paid any man. The superintendent of the public schools of the entire State of West Virginia is an honorable office, and though we dislike ex tremely to see him leave Elberlon, where ’ he would soon have bnilt tip an enviable > set of schools, we are glad of his promo i tion.” As West Virginia has a well-cqnipped superintendent of schools, in the person ol 1 Mr Morgan, there most ba some mistake . about the above. Possibly Prof. Woofter , has secured a county euperintendey or goes to some of the cities of the State. .■NUllrVJJ.lv UMUJ'.US.

STRFI.P, YBSTRRDAY MoRNINO, Oa tha Sfioar.dsviile Camp Grounds—A Decided Re vival of Interest—Last Evening’s Services. Tee rain of Wednesday night had a very beneficial effect on the camp ground, as the dust and heat were becoming troublesome. The ueual morning class-meeting was held yesterday, and some interesting talks were made. That of the venerable Father BatUlIe on bis first appointment on what was then Woodstield circuit, embracing all of Monroe, southern Belmont and a large portion of Washington counties, thirty preaching places, with over ihree hundred miles of travel an horseback on each ronnd, showed ths difficulties of these pioneers of Methodism—the early circuit rider. It would have been veiy interesting to resi dents of that section. The regular service at 10:30 was opened with a sor-g by the choir, when Dr. .Steele gave one of the meat interesting Bible les sons ever heard oa the grounds. It wae well worth a trip from the city to hear this lesson alone. Nearly all the passages were selected by ministers utd others in the andiecce and the wonderfa! readiness of the Dictor in nnravelling the most difficult theological points, and quoting au thorities, marked him as one of the ablest men of bis Church. These who missed it have to regret a lost opportnnity that may not return. His firet explanation was made on Heb vi:4 6, and he expressed his opinion that the clauses referred to a genuine Christian expedience. The falling away from Christ and if generation was satisfactorily ex plained with most positive Scripture proofs on the Ductor’s position. “Is it possible for a person to be sanctified once end not know it as a separate blessing? ’ He said that all churches label this thing by dif ferent names. He made a beantifol illus tration, using the four rivers forming ihe Euphrates as an objfci lesson, and said when silted down the belief of all denom inations led to the same result. “Cau a J person lose the blessing of entire sanctifica tion and yet regain it?” That depends ; npon how he lost it. If thr. ugh a had act of his own, L-e is responsible and God’s love shtnld not excuse him. In human and Divine affairs there may he degrees of guilt in which the law shoald not ba in terfered with. “Do those who are sanctified often fall into sin sgain?” Not often. When a man’s aspirations are toward Gad, be has no in clination to sin. “If a man become a new cie3tnre in Christ, how can sin remain in him?” We Armuuiansdivide sin into twoclasscs, proper and improper, of omission and com mission. I do not believe any person is horn into the world iu a state of guilt. Hu may have tendencies, but not actual guilt of his own volition. “Is there each a thing as anger in a state of holinest?” God ie holy aud he is angry with the wicked every day. Anger is put into onr minds that we may stand by righteousness and good order on the side ot God. This is why we do right. God loves righteousness hat he hates sin. “Wbat is the most practical way for a pastor to present holiness to his congrega tion?” I The minister should not necessarily an I tagonize his people, if he can avoid it, BDd i nut fail in duty; nor shonld he gst the ' reputation cf a hobbyist. Much of the work can be done indirectly, [f hs can get his people to read John Wesley’s tract ou the subject, they will learn what Meth odism really is. “When we ata converted and have the love of God in our hearts, can we be sancti fied without a Becond conversion, oris the transition into the state a gradual or sharp ly d. fined experience? “Can the thought and imagination he dead unto pin? There is a difference between cn evil thought and thought of evil. Foe bast person on earth 13 not exempt f orn evil thoughts entering into hia mind. The sin is iu wilfully entertaining these thoughts. Tho devil is especially mean enough to suggest evil thoughts at any time. “What about the giving one-tenth to God The Lord did not fill up his word aud teachings with specific acts lo bs per formed. Christianity lodges its princi ples in the soul and leaves man largely to his own volit.ocs. It a man thicks it his duty to give the one fifth, the one-tenth, or the one-twetietb, let him do it. His own conscience should ha his guide. Many other pointed questions were asked and answered with tho greatest readiness, and the feeling ie universal that Dr. Steel is a power to incite thought among tho people on the essential doctrines of the Christian faith The children’s meeting was under the direct charge of Dr. B tier, whose happy facility of handling and interesting chil dren made it a grand enccess. It begun wi’ta n march of the “Bad B'hbon Bri gade” through the grounds ningiog songs on the march, serenading the Bishop, who followed them iuto the auditorium, and the choir opened with 6irgirg “At the Cross”; a Scripture reading by Bev Grimes and a prayer by Mr. Ashley, ot Washington, D. C. Thu responses of the children were beautiful indeed, siDging “Little Sunbeams Ate We,” when one of the most interesting features of the day occurred—tho sending out the boys and girls to bring others to the platform. Dr. Burte, of the Best Ohio Conference, wes then introduced and made a most telling practical talk to tho children. Dr. Bitier followed with a talk so full of anecdotes having a great moral lesson in (hem that be etemed to hold them iu his bands as wax. His practical object work with tbeHamlay School teachers was jnat what nearly all needed. A man like him in Wheeling would revolutionize the Sun day school and children’s work in the churches of the city. If the children are trained they seldom take a vicious course. The young people have formed an increas ing interest, and the singing was excellent, ; but the absence of yuung men was one feature tint is to be regretted. Dr. Hmitn read the Scripture lesion and made a talk on faithfulness in Christian duly that mnet be reniomhtred fer years. Dr. Cashing said some good things at the close. A marked increased was shown in the attendance at the evening service. The train from Wheeling wm crowded and the surrounding country all contributed to swell the crowd. There h&vo been mar,y arrivals for the temperance meeting cf to day. Dr. Biller held an open air meeting in the park of much interest. The H o'clock exercises were opened witb si ngiDg “There’s | a Great Day Coming” by Mr. Liston, the choir joining in the chord?; prayer by Bev. Timberlake, Bishop Joyce ar.d others. The service wss under the supervision of JJeit! Sdnrlisfments.

HOUSE 4 lEBRMJl, Salesroom, 1300 Main St. Warehouse, 1318 Main St. Agents for Leonard’s Hard Wood Cleanable Refrigerators. Dr. Biller, who selected for his subject: “The Calls of Christ,” from Phil. 1 and 8, “Tnink ou These Thiugs ” lie said that while God’s pppeale are generally to the weak, nevertheless he treats with ns as rational beiegr. Hence he says ‘‘Come and let as reason together. Hear and your tonl shall live.” Think on these things. Iteligion is so vital it is not afraid of thought hut doss all it cin to develop the mind, by the found ing of schools colleges, «tc. Yon claim that the object of a revival is to wotk oa the emotions of men and to act without thought Why, my friend, nothing in the world is more apt to make men engage in the drepset thought. There is a true philosophy below all these thinge. You make use of the same principles m politics. You lied men prrjudictd against an opposing party. The brass baud and fire works are not political arguments, hat they so arrest the attention of men and so work on his emo tions that he h.gius to think of the views his opponents embraced. Just so in the revival with our songs, ameno and prayers; they r<re not religion, bnt they bring merr together and make them think of their goal's salvation, it is God’swish to have meu think; how thoog'at less are the multitude. The Devi.'s policy is to keep men from thiukiug. He don’t want them to think. Ha will keep them thoughtless and then he will rejoice over their damnation. The devil says, givejoie to-day and God to-morrow, but, my friends, :o-niorrow never comes, lie only wants to so held yonr attention that God can’t get a hold on your bouI. Thoughtleeo is the underlying principle cf the card-table, the theatre and the saloon to pass away the time. Great God! a human soul prepiring for eternity pass ing away the time. if the devil can keep your mind at tracted by these things be has you firm iu his grasp. The devil could not pursue a better policy to people his kiugdom. A gambler sitting by a table in Philadel phia with large stakes, haring luck against him, blew out his brains, und bsfore the blood waa wiped from the floor his com panions we'e shnllling the cards over his dead body. Thia is the thoughtlessness the Devil wants. Mr. Brittle said: “Secret societies of this conutry have many solemn symbols, such os the ciuss bancs and tkall. Why the wish to make their mem bers think of the shortness ol life and the certainty of eternity? Will you not allow me the same privilege of bringing tha same thoughts of eternity.
