Friend of Magistrate Hause, of this city, who has teen In otfice for eleven years, claim that he holds the world's record as r a marrying magistrate. For some time before he was fleeted magistrate in the Indiana Gretna Green, Hause made a comfortable living conducting Kentucky eloping couples to some official empowered to Join them In wedlock. He soon had numerous competitors, but none was so successful as the versatile Hause, who could do more hustling with ids one kg than the others could do with their two. When he was elected magistrate lie abandoned his profession as matrimorial spotter and began to Join thoe who looked after the coupk-3 after they had been spotted. In that avocation he has been quite as successful as he had been a: a ipotter. During his career as a marrying magistrate he ha3 linked the destinies of 7.000 coupits, a majority of them from Kentucky. He ba3 received fees on a sliding scale all the way from credit and 25 cents to $20. In a few cases he has staked couples to 10 cents for ferriage. Generally couples finding themselves stranded had ligured on securing a license for less than ti. Ceremonies performed on the I. O. F. plan have seldom brought returns, Magistrate Hause says. He cites the case of a Louisville merchant who eloped to Jeffersonville and was married on credit. The bridegroom, a member of one of Kentucky's exclusive families, wearied of his matrimonial bargain, for he not only overlooked the squire, but his wife as well. Magistrate Hause smilingly recalls his first marriage ceremony. This is his story: "Three men and three women got off the ferryboat one evening, and ns they came up the hill I said to myself, 'Here's a fee. I asked them if they wanted to get married, and the women giggled. I knew they would. I led the way to J. R. Lewman's residence. Mr. lawman was clerk at th.it time. On the way I told them that I was a magistrate. The bride-elect turned up her nose at that and said she wanted to bo married by a preacher. It never los to give up. so I complimented her dress and hat and so forth, and, do you know, she said that I would do. "Mr. Lewmnn gave up the use of his parlor, but he walked out into the yard when I got up to pronounce the ceremony. He expected me to make a failure. I had been thoughtful enough to ask him to loan me a Bible, and. opening lt. I slipped into il a piece of paper with the words of th ceremony written on it. This I read. The couple, thinking I used the Bible to mak the ceremony more solemn, said afterwards that they were glad they had not secured the services of a minister to marry them. "Well, all through the ceremony. It was a race whether I or the bride would be the first to succumb to the ordeal. I was not prepared for the double shock that followed. The groom handed me a $5 note Just as I was about to pocket it the bride wanted to know whether there was any change. I reeded just $3, so I gave them back ?2 of the money." Magistrate Hause has had a varied career. He was first a railroad employe, then he was a prison guard, then an attache of the government supply depot at Jeffersonville. then a tobacconist, then a wholesale merchant, has been a reporter on newspapers, has done some preaching and ha now decided to run for clerk of the county court.

DAYTON, O., May 26.-Indianapolls got away with another game to-day by shutting out Dayton. Alloway had an assortment of peculiar benders, remarkably fine control and support of the best sort. Dayton was not in the game at all. either In batting or fielding. The locals could not hit Alloway when runs were in sight, and they could not Held with any degree of satisfaction. Luck was against Dayton, too,for when the fielders came in the Hies were long, and vice versa. Wicker might have pitched as good a game as Alloway, but his supporting company was so decidedly off that he was helpless, and he realized it before the game had proceeded far. He was the only Daytonian who came anyways near scoring, and he was headed off at the plate by a brilliant double play, in which Flynn. Fox and Kelly took part. .The first run of Indianapolis was due to Fox'3 single and Hickey's double, and two more in the fifth to a single, an error and Ley's tir.it triple. A bunch of four in the seventh was accounted for in Ley's second triple, a passed ball, Fox's double and two errors. In Dayton's erratic work Smlnk and Coggswell, the pitcher, who "subbed" at shortstop on account of Gochnaur's illness, were leaders. Score: Dayton. A.B. II. O. A. E.

TWO MORE OIL GUSHERS SPOUTERS DRILLED IX IX THE REAUMOVr, TEX., DISTRICT. Eight-Inch Hole from Which There Is uu Enormous Flow Small Well at Sour Lake. BEAUMONT, Tex., May 2G.-Contractor Hamill brought in McFaddin well No. 3 for the J. M. Gulfey retrolcum Company this morning. It is located on top of the hill, only three hundred feet from the Lucas well, and is on the McFaddin and WIess & Kyle Land Company's property. The oil spouted over the top of the derrick, but was immediately shut off. It is considered a very fine well. Hey wood well No. 2 cams ir last night and is a magnificent gusher. It is the only eight-inch well in the field, and consequently the biggest producer. Tanks of 37,oo0 barrels capacity are being rapidly set up for the storage of thj product. SOUR LAKE, Tex., May 26. At a depth of 50 feet yesterday aiternoon a small How of oil was struck here. The well Is a good pumper and will produce probably fifty barrels a day. Drilling is to be continued in hopes of striking a gusher. There is no excitement, as this is a proven oil field for pumping wells. MAY SI PPLAXT COAL. Texas Oil 3Iay Re Used as Fuel from the Gulf to Labrador. NEW YORK, May 26.-Dr. C. B. Forward, a prominent oil refiner of Cleveland, predicts that Texas oil will, on account of Its cheapness and superiority, within five years displace coal as a fuel in all the Atlantic seaboard cities. Dr. Forward is just back from an extended investigation of the oil fields in Texas. "It is merely a matter of time needed for a demonstration that the supply of fuel oil in Texas is inexhaustible," said Dr. Forward yesterday, "and then fuel users from the guif to Labrador will begin to recognize its utility. It can be sold as cheaply as the producers care to make the price. It will be delivered in New York at a small lirst cost. "By Jan. 1 there will be millions of barrels of oil ready for shipment. The two gushing wells there have been closed until tankage accommodations can be built. The quantity of oil available can be better understood, perhaps, when it is stated that the two wells already running oil have a flow ccpual to the entire oil production of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana combined. "This petroleum is a heavy fuel oil, anl the ordinary processes of refining it have not been successful. It remains to be seen whether the ingenuity of our oil experts will meet the exigency and turn this newproduction to more valuable uses than for mere fuel. For fuel alone it is sure to be an important factor in the commercial and domestic life of our Atlantic seaboard cities and towns. The surface evidences of oilbearing ground indicate that almost unlimited supplies of this oil will be found close to tidewater. "The speculative fever is even more rampant than the correspondents have described. I personally visited spots where land which six months ago sold at from J' to $10 an acre for rice growing, sold this winter and spring at from JloO to 125,0X) an acre. Twenty-rive dollars an acre was a good price for some of theso rice marshes. Now, land so much under water that a four-footed beast could not be driven within three miles of it is sold at high prices. "It is like every new thing. A lot of wildcat speculators have rusheil in and are booming things. Gradually these fellows will bo wiped out by the operations of the law governing the survival of the fittest, and then more conservative men will go in aiad build up legitimate enterprises." DETAILS OF A TRAGEDY. Particulars of the Killing; of Two Members of n Dramatic Company. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. May 26. Details of the tragedy at Key West early last Friday morning, which resulted in the death of Miss Inez Leonard and Edward Beauclaigh, two members of the D'Ormond Fuller Company, have reached here. Members of the dramatic organization were occupying a college at Key West during their engagement. After the performance last Thursday night Miss Fuller, a member of the company, went upstairs to the room of Miss Atkinson, also of the company, and in passing Beauclalgh's room she saw him sitting up reading a magazine. She told him he had letter go to bed and is under the impression the he did so. A few minutes after Miss Inez Leonard had been seen to go upstairs, which was about 2:; o'clock a. m. Mr. D'Ormond, of the company, heard the report of a rifie, and Inez Leonard screamed out. "Help, help! I am dying!" and then another shot rang out. D'Ormond and Miss Fuller rushed upstairs and saw Inez Leonard in a stooping position in a corner of the room. Ry this time the other members of the company rushed Into the room and found Miss Leonard in a dying condition. She was gasping for breath and died without regaining consciousness. She was shot through tho left side, just below the heart, the bullet coming out of the right side. Beauclalgh was lying dead on the opposite side of the room, his face a mass of blood. An examination showed that he had shot himself through the mouth. A forty-eight calibre Marlin ritte and two empty shells were found near Beauclalgh. Mr. D'Ormond says the cause of the tragedy is a mystery to every member of the company. Miss Leonard and Mr. Beauclalgh were engaged and expected to be married as soon as they went North. Beauclaigh was born in Chicago and was adopted by Miss Fuller when four years old. lie was educated under her care. Inez Leonard's home wa3 in Philadelphia. Her mother and father are on the stage.

She manages her household most economically. She is sober, she is Ingenious, she is devoted to her husbnnd and to her children. In the home of farmers and work-lr-men she represents the intellectual element. When a farmer comes to speak on business with his landlord it is always the wife who talks and enters Into discussions. The man looks at hr and gives his opinion by noddinsr or shaking his head without aying a single word. If a workingman has a lawsuit on hand, he goes with Iiis wife to the lawyer's office: it Is the woman who doe? the talking and explains the cas. She is evidently the Intelligent one. and her husband recognizes this fact and is forced to acknowledge It. Colored Preacher Assnsslnnted. BIRMINGHAM. Ala..

The statements published in the United States by a news agency to the effect that the private fortunes of the Emperor anel Empress of Germany and other members of the royal family had been almost entirely swept away by the operations of a swindler have been closely investigated here, with the result that the statements referred to are found to be absolutely without foundation. There are even not any rumors afloat concerning these alleged losses Dy their Majesties. The correspondent of the Associated Press obtains his information to deny the truth of these statements from absolutely authentic sources. This denial is not only based upon direct information from the immediate entourage of the Emperor, but from leading financiers as well, men who would surely know if the matter were true. Thirty-Two Bodies Recovered. LONDON. May 27. Thirty-two bodies, some of them terribly mutilated, have been recovered at the Universal colliery in Senghenydd, in the Rhondda valley, where an explosion occurred last Friday morning.

Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry of The Netherlands will witness the spring parade at Berlin next Friday as guests of Emperor William, spending a few days at the new palace, Potsdam. A Reuter dispatch from St. Petersburg says the publication cf the Novoe Vremya has been prohibited for a week because it urged the government to help workmen and the unemployed as the best means to combat revolutionary tendencies. The Bremen correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, asserts that a special commission of alienists has met to consider the case of Dietrich Weiland, the assailant of Emperor William. Welland is no longer in the asylum, but has been removed to the Bremen prison. FAITH CURIST PIERSON. He Thinks Ills Religion Should He Xo Bar to Holding His Position. m NEW YORK, May 26. The release on bail of J. Luther Pierson, convicted Faith Curist, of Kenslco, was celebrated to-day by a union of several Dowie followers at "The Overlook," the Pierson home. Mr. Tierson, in discussing his future plans with John Pye, warden of the White Plains jail, said: "I expect to go back to my desk In the accounting department cf the New York Central Railroad on Monday. I have been employed by the company ten years and expect to hold my position just the same, as I have received no word to the contrary. A man has a right to his own religious beliefs, and that should not interefere with his business. I shall not run away. That is a certainty. 1 shall uphold my religion to the end and expect that the higher courts will decide In my favor. I do not expect to go back to jail, any way. I shall not desert my religion for any price. 1 am a true believer In the power of God to heal." "What do you think." he was asked, "of the arrest of the Rev. John Alexander Dowie?" "It's too bad. It's a sad blow to him. But he is justified in carrying on his work. He will not be prosecuted. God will protect him." Good for the Public to Observe. Laltimore Herald. Judge Harlan decided a legal point yesterday which has important bearings on certain kinds of evidence. His Honor set forth as a new legal principle that any witness called upon to declare his knowledge of an individual's moral character must first prove to the court ids ability to judge, and his past opportunities for exercising that judgment. To the guileless layman this would appear a most just and natural view of the case, and Judge Harlan has sustained his deserved reputation as an interpreter of iegal technique. New. II only the general public would accept the court's view of the matter and refuse belief to personal comment until convinced of the speaker's veracity, what a deal of trouble would be avoided. It is true that some people's sources of small talk would be frightfully curtailed, but this could be endured French Journalism. Boston Herald. About a month ago the Courier do Canres published a report from its Johannesburg correspondent stating that General French had been captured by the Boers under Botha, but had been released and had given his parole that he would not again bear arms against them. An Englishman who was a visitor in the French city wrote to the editor and called his attention to the fact that Lord Roberts, Sir Redvers BuIIer, Sir George White, General Baden-Powell and a host of others also had returned to England, arid stated as a joke that he supposed that all had been captured by the Boers and generously released cn the promise to leave South Africa. The funny part of the story is that the French editor printed and seriously commented on the letter, saying that the English government miftht naturally be expected to keep fcilent. and that this letter "could not fail to produce a certain sensation." It is almost needless to say it diel. Movements nt Steamers. NEW YORK. May 2.

Ilnlley, of Texas, Has to Listen to Such Tales. W. G. Nicholas, in New York Telegraph. Joseph V. Railey, senator from Texas, who ia spending a few days in New York, has to listen to innumerable Tories about the oil boom in the Lone Star State. The latest one was handed to him at the Waldorf hist evening by John M. Shaw, the j-tock broker. This is the way it was told by Mr. Shaw. "A friend of mine Just back from Reau rr.ont tellä about an adventurer not unknown on Rroadway, who reached the oil fields with no capital excepting his nerve, and who mat;agcu to clean up ii,mj in ten days. He found the town wild with excitement. Oil land and oil leases were cnanging hands with great rapidity, a single piece of property sometimes being turned over a dozen times in two or three days. This gave the visiting adventurer an idea, widen lie was juick to act on. "Hie fellow rustled out in the country and bought 150 acres of land on the edge ot the oil belt, paying for it with a checK lor $20,r) on a bank somewhere up in Maine. He figured out that it would taku about a week for the check to get back, and long before that time he had disposed of his proposition for JMV. He banked his money and then sat down to wait. In due course of time the farmer to whom he had given tho check came to 1dm, raging, and denouncing him as a swindler. 'Why, what's the matter?' aiked the New York financier. 'Matter enough! That check you gave me ia no good it has come back dishonored.' " Is that so? I do not understand it. That check is as good as a Pank of Kngland note. There must be some mistake about it.' "The two men di.ccns.ei th matter a few minutes, when the maker of thi che?K broke off the conversation with the remark. 'Well, it J.n't your fault, anyway, so give me that check and I'll go across the street to the bank and get you the currency. That's what 1 should have don in the first place.' "The countryman returned the worthless check and went across the street with the financier, who drew JJO.o-O from his bank and passed it over. That left him $',000 and established his credit aa a square business man. I do not know whether the fellow remained In the oil field or returned to New York. Rut at any rate he will not very soon again have to resort to chicanery." Experienced oil operators, who havt passed years in the oil Heids of Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Ohio and the far West, say that the excitement in Texas is as great as it ever was in the early history of the oil regions of northwestern Pennsylvania, about the clot of the civil war, and for two or three years thereafter. New towns spring up in a day and become bustling renters of trade. Tens of thousands of men are pouring Into the country, many with large capital and the majority with little more than the adventurer whose successful Schern is described above.
