Advices received from JldJah are to the effect that the situation Is considered very grave for Europeans. Very few troops are In town, and the townspeople generally are pleased at the attack of the Bedouins on the foreign consuls. It Is now "half time," and religious feelings are running high.

White Connty Little Girl Stoned to Denth lr no Evil Tempered Hoy Hoo.se Rained 1y Ltshtnlnc Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind June 7.-In March, 1SS3. the first oil in Indiana .was discovered on tho Penn farm, two miles west of this city, by 11. O. Patch, of Pittsburg, the pioneer oil man of Indiana. In the fall of he located an office in this city and commenced leasing land and drilling. His lirst wells were light, and he mot with many discour agements, but, having great confidence that Jay county had a rich oil field, he was persevering, and finally, in September, 1S32, drilled in a well on the Lewis Grisell farm, In Penn township, that started off at five hundred barrels a day. This proved to be the richest pool In the State. A few weeks after drilling thi3 well In Mr. Patch sold his Interest for 0.000. The hew owners made a good purchase, as tho farm has produced for them over $100,000, Mr. Grisell getting about $27X), being one-sixth, making a grand total in less than three years of llbl.W). This oil was sold at about J cents a barrel, and as od is now tUs cents the farm would yield nearly double at present prices. While the Grisell farm Is the richest in oil, there are now in Jay county over two hundred farm on which are rich pools of oil producing from fifty to five hundred barrels of oil a Uav. The Aaron Itts farm stands next to tho Grisell in production. Five years ago Letts was a prosperous farmer, with IGo acres of land and no ambition to be wealthy. He now has thirteen oil wells and is drawing over $1.00 a month from hi3 wells. He is now loaning money and taking life easy. Another lucky individual is ex-County Treasurer John Hayes, who, in order to ave a debt due him two years ago. bought the Harris farm, of 10 acres, for 11,500. Oil was struck on the farm and Hayes has drawn over JlO.ftA), and the farm is only partly developed. The richest strike in tne State was made by Emerson I'riddy, an attorney of Findlay, O. One year ago Priddy leased 2,3) acres of land six miles northwest of this city. The first well located in the center of the 2.S0O acres proved a good one. ana otner wens followed, until Priddy now has four big pro ducers yielding him a daily income of over $ouo. He is offered JLS.WO for the property. but holds it at JMW, and many , oil men consider that a low price for the property. The few individual cases cited above will give an idea of the great wealth of Jay counts. And when it Is considered that in addition to the oil field Jay county has a big gas field, the claim that Jay county Is one of the wealthiest counties in tne Mate is well supported. The oil field starts at Antiville. tour miles north of this city, and extends northwest to a point ten miles south of Bluffton. Th field is a great benefit to merchants in this city. Money is plenty, and oil men are liberal buyers. The merchant does not depend on the wheat or corn crop, but knows that several thousand barrels or oil is marketed every day in the year, winter and summer. Standard Oil men claim that there are fifty thousand acres of undeveloped oil land in Jay county, and predict a great future for Portland In the next ten years. as this r:cn ter ritory lies directly west of the city. They claim that the field will not extend any further north on account of the Trenton rock being found so deep, and that future developments must bring the held south through this county, uu is King in jay countv. and in 1S$ will bring to the people of this county over 11.000,000.

BLIND TO THE PERIL

CAPTAIX OF THC CO LIS! A II LA 31 ED FOR THE CHEAT LOSS OF LIFE. Most of the Passengers Kept In Their Staterooms and No Effort 'Mndc to Save the Fonndering Ship. SAN FRANCISCO. June' 7. The Call, In its account of the wreck ojT the Colima, as told by the survivors of the wrecked ves sel, says: "The shin was overloaded, badlyloaded, top-heavy loaded all agree to it. When the ga'e struck her she weathered it, but badly. Then she careened. There was a lurch to starboard, and she did not right again. Men called cut to the captain to cut away the deck loading of heavy spars. The captain was obdurate. He knew his business, or fancied that he did, and would brook no suggestions from what he called the terrified und panic-stricken passengers. And they probably were all that he called thera, for they could see death staring, them in the face, while the captain remained blind. The ship listed more and more. With apprehension every body waited, held their breath till she should bear ud and rieht again. But she did not right: she listed still more. Then she lost her steering power: the captain rang for more steam, and would not cut looso the deck load that might have saved her. Steam could not save her. The engine.were taxed to their utmost; still the vesseu listed. The rjeonle on board grew worse; the fear of death more Intense. Then the captain crave orders for the crew to keep the passengers within bounds. Whether those orders went so far as to withhould life preservers from the passen gers and to permit those who sought to do so to come on deck, where they might have had a chance of battling with the waves. Is not known at this time. Perhaps some further investigation will shed light on the point. At all events, the effect of those orders was to turn the crew Into subaltern tyrants, who acted as though they sought to prevent any one from escaping the doom that yawned before them. Steerage and cabin passengers say they sought to obtain life preservers and were forcibly restrained from doing so. Down in the steerage a guard was posted at the companion way door, and these who escaped to the deck in time to cast themselves into the sea Derore the vesrel went down did so only by main force, by kicking and fighting their way past the guard. Those who were saved are some of those who were wiser than the captain, who couJd see their peril more clearly and had wit enough to throw them selves into the foaming sea tterore the Collma gave her last list to the starboard. As she did this the captain' whistle sounded to cut loose the deck load of spars." The United States Inspectors of hulls and boilers began an official inquiry Into the Colima diaaster to-day. A. K. Rich ardson, storekeeper of the wrecked steamer. told the story of the storm, or tne sinking of the ship and of the rescue of the survivors by Ihe San Juan. His testimony developed no new details. Third officer Hansen was the next witness. lie sam that when the steamer left Manzanlllo on May 2d the weather was fair, with a heavy southwest swell. He "stated that he had superintended the stowing of the cargo. that the work nad ben well none ana that the cargo had not been shifted. If the Co'.lma had not been a good boat, he thought, she would not have weathered the storm as long as she did. He heard no explosion. He was In charge of the bridge when the steamer went down, lie be lieved the wreck was due entirely to the violence of the storm. On the morning of the 27th she fell off into the trough of the sea and listed to starboard. Three heavy seas broke over her, and after the third she listed over on her beam ends with her masts In the water, sinking five minutes later, before lifeboats could be launched. Seised by Canuckii. DETROIT, June 7. The tug Grace E. Ruelle and a dump fcow from the Detroit sanitary works were seized last night by Captain Dunn and the crew of the government steamer Petrel and taken to Amherstburff.

Captain Dunn claims that part of the dumping was done in Canadian waters, while the ofhcials of the sanitary worKs sav the contract reouired the dumping of the garbage in Lake Erie, pending repairs at the works. The provincial .heaun law of Ontario is very stringent and in this case the authorities at Amherstburg claim that each individual member of the crew is liable to a fine of $J0 for each offense charged. In this case there are three dis tinct charges, and after these are disposed of the offenders are liable under the marine fisheries act for the pollution of Canadian fishing waters.

Amnng Many Curionn Tnlr In One that Women Are Hoodoo to Anttlrr. Fishing Gazette. The legends, quaint customs and superstitions connected with fish and fishing are many and curious. Ask a Scandinavian . why salmon are red and have such tine talis. You will be told that the ru lay color of the flesh Is due to the fact that when .heaven was on tire tne pods threw the flames Into the water and the salmon swallowed them. The delicacy of the salmon's tail is explained by the fact tat Lokl. when the angry. gots pursued him. turned himself Into a salmon. He would have escaped If Thor had not caught him by the tall. Salmons hive had their tails fine and thin ever since. Why are soles, plaice and other flat fish brown on one side and white on the other? The Araos of Upper Egypt give an explanation which no one can hesitate to accept. One day, they tell you, Moses, the l5rael;te lawgiver, was frying fish we all know the Jews are fund of fried fish, and they cook it splendidly. Moses, however, haa only cooked his fish on one side when the lire went out, and so he angrily threw the half-cooked fish into the sea. Although half broiled. It came to life again, and its descendents all of the flat fish have preserved till to-day the peculiar appearance of their half-cooked ancestor, being white on one side and trown on the other. Why do haddocks carry those peculiar blacK "linger marks" near the head? Some tell us that they are a memento of the pressure of St. Peter's tinkers when he weni nshniK for the tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast they say the devil cnoe at terminer build a bridge at Filey. His satanic Majesty did not start the bridge for the convenience of the people, but tor the destruction of Fhips and sailors and the annoyance of fishermen. In general. In the progress of his work old Nick dropped his hammer into the sea. Snatching at it hastily he cauKht a haddock, and ail haddocks l carry the imprints or nis DiacK imgera to tnis uay. Fishermen have queer customs. A few years ago the fishermen of Preston, Lancashire, used actualJy to go fishing on Sunday. It seems incredible, but they did. A clergyman of the town u?ei ' to preach against this Sabbath desecration, and pray that they might catch no fish. And they did not. But they found out how to make his prayers of no avail. The fishermen used to make a little efflgy of the- parson in rags, and put this small "guy" up their chimneys. While his reverence was slowly smoked and consumed the. fish bit like anything. The fishermen of the Ii!e of Man always feel safe from storm and disaster if they have a dead wren on board. They have a tradition that at one . time an evil spirit al ways haunted the herring pack and was always attended by storms. The spirit assumed many forms; at last it took the shape or a wren ana flew away, if the fishermen have a dead wren with them they are certain that all will be safe and snusr. Shocking It is to be compelled to state that many fishing superstitions are ungailantlv directed against the ladies. Over against Ross there is the Island of Lewis, sixty miles in length. In this isle there is but one fresh river. "Fish abound there in very great plenty," but only let a woman wade in the stream, and not a salmon will be seen there tor at least twelve months. Tnre is a song about "Eliza's Tootsies." but that immortal lyric does not explain whv they should frighten the fish. I believe the ladies deny the allegation in toto. In the south of Ireland an angler proceeding to fish declares that he will have no luck if he is askel where he is going to. if he sees a magpie, or "if he Is so unfortunate as to meet a woman. HETTY CREEVS INHERITANCE. Mr. nnrllnir AcconnU for the Money He Hnn in Trout for Her. New York Mall and Exnress. The answer of Re-nrv A. Barlintr. the sole surviving executor of the estate of Edward Mott Robinson, to the petition of Mrs. Hettv Green for his removal from that rosit:3n was filed this morninir in the Surrocate'a omce. rine estate is worth nearlv $6,000,000. ana was bequeathed to Mrs. Green, the aaugnter or Robinson. lhe present action was becun before th Surrogate to remove Barling, on the jrround tnai ne naa misapplied the funds of the estate and had not paid her large sums, which she claimed were due to her as Income aim inen nau, ocea inciuuea as capital in the estate. Barllntr. In his answer, denies that he has misapplied any of the funds of the estate. ana claims tnat an sucn sums remain on hand subject to settlement of the court. The whole litigation arises over the dlsf:ute whether certain sums of money accrung to the estate are income, or whether they should be invested as capital. Barllnxr alleges that there is no foundation for the beiier expressea by .Mrs. ureen tnat upon the settlement or tne accounts large sums will b found due her. He claims that upon the adjudication or the settlement or the ac counts there will be found due her a sum of $.0,00O, besides a sum exceeding JlOO.ono in terest, which sums are now on deposit in the United States Trust Company. He also claims that Mrs. Green herself has done everything to retard the settlement of the matter. He states that she has changed her lawyer seven times, and that her counsel has filed objections to more than 1.7(0 Items in the account, some of them of such trivial amounts as 23 cents each. She has constantly asked questions reaching back thirty years, which it was impossible for anyone to rememoer, and that re peated adjournments have had to be made until the executor could refresh his mem ory by investigating? the books. Barling states that the estate of Robin son consisted largely of ships which, under the terms of the will, the executors were directed to sell or operate. Many of the ships were destroyed by Confederate cruis ers during the war and others were sold. and the sums realized charged up to the capital account. He denies having oper ated any of the ships and retained the profits therefrom. The amount realized from the vessels was js.-vj. ana he says that Mrs. fireen has receivea tne interest regularly. The amount or the assets of the estate in the inventories niea amount to' J5.982.321.60. of which amount all has been turned over except a balance of 5B21.3J.i.l7. which Is on deposit in the United States Trust Company.

Why net give th carroty widower a show in song and fic tiona. "wianwer nfty-tnree years uiiani sixteen hands high? I knew a widower once of that kind who locked up his shop one day and b-fr.re teatlme had proposed to seven v.iiow. besides stopping an hour to bait his hore bv the roadside.
