The sheriffs posse are still in pursuit KEDISCOVERIES. Pittsbubq, July 21. There is great excitement in the oil regions over tne revival ot the Pit Hole oil field, The Pit Hole has for nearly a quarter ot a century been considered a sucked orange, and tho oil right of 100,000 acres around the old town would not have brought S100. Now the excite ment is greater there than in any other field in the region, not except ing Bakerstown. Black Bros, have been pnshmtr a drill around Fleasantville so successfully that they have been encouraged to test the old Pit Hole region, and' the re sult is one of the most surprising things ot the oil region.

Wilson who is employed at the Union works ot this city, was fatally injured to day. Wilson was grinding at tne latbo tool on an emery wheel, and the tool having accidentally caught be tween the rest and tde wheel, the latter revolving with great velocity, burst and smashed a heavy cast iron shed over it into many small frag ments. One of the pieces of the wheel struck Wilson on tho forehead and on tho bridge of the nose. It struck in three places by fragments, namely: he had a wound over tho right eye, cutting through to the brain. The emery struck him with such force that it carried that por tion of the skull away. Another in jury is baok of tho left eye extending to the bono, without penetrating it, however. The other injury, and the most fatal one, extended from tho right eye across the nose, entering the left eye, penetrating the head to a depth of three inches. Wilson was never conscious after being struck. He leahes a wife and child. He lived only n short time. Trouble In British Columbia. Winnipeo, July 20. The local vol unteer military officers have received orders from general Middleton nnd Sir Adolph Oaron, minister of militia, to hold themselves and their com mands in readiness to proceed on short notice to British Columbia and thence to Skeena river to assist in quelling the Indian uprising there. Reports to the Hudson Bay com pany's governor here indicate rather a serious state of affairs and lead to the belief that several warlike tribes ot Indians will join the insurrection. The troops at Victoria have been notified to be prepared to proceed at a moment's notice to tho scene of the Indian uprising. The Hudson Bay company will placo another steamer at the disposal of the government for the transporta tion ot troops if required. The deputy adjutant general re ports that the local forco of British Columbia is in a deplorable condi tion, there being only 300 officers and men, poorly equipped. It is reported that the Metlakahtla Indians, who moved from Canada to Alnska two years ago will join the hostiles. Reducing- the Surplus. Tho disposition ot the Surplus In the U. S.

Ben Butler was retained as coun sel for a Boston young man whose wife had sued him for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. The wronged wife's sister, a young girl of 20, was the principal witness for the prosecu tion, and general Butler succeeded in angering her by a sharp and irrita ting cross-examination. After many interruptions the witness said that the defendant had been seen to "shy a book at his wife's head." "Shy? Bhy a book? What do you mean by that? Will yon explain to the court what the word 'shy' means?" Tho young girl leaned over tho railing and asked her counsel for a copy of "Cushing's Manual" which lay on tho desk before him. Sho hurled tho volume at general Butler's head with all the force she could command. It was a good shot, and had not Butler divined her purpose in time it would undoubtedly have hit tho mark. "I think the court now understands tho meaning of tho word 'shy' " said tho judge, and the girl was allowed to finish her testimony without further interruption. Joys of American Politic. "Mr. Milksap," said tho beautiful maiden as sho gently moved the young man's arm from about her waist, "I have only known yon for two or threo weeks, you mnst remem ber, and I have heard papa say ho has seen many a promising candidate ruin his chances by bringing to much pressuro to bear early in the cam paign."
