OERMAN ARMY OFFICER KILL3 A
STUDENT.
THB  OLD LIBERTY  BELL.
AFFAIR HAS CREATED
GREAT SENSATION,
Owing to Circumstances Which Practically Determined the Result
in Advance.
BERLIN, Jan. 6.—Full narratives of
the duel fought last Thursday at Jena,
in the Duchy of Saxe Weimar Elsnasch
.in which Lieutenant Tbieme of the
Ninety-fourth regiment killed a student of Halle university named Held,
by shooting him through the heart, are
producing a deep sensation throughout derma nv.
Lieutenant Thieme is the best pistol
shot of his regiment and pistols were
selected by the court of honor, composed exclusively of army officers,
notwithstanding the fact that the student societies proposed the use of
sabres. Tbe oourt of Conor stipulated
that five shots he exchanged between
the. duelists, consequently Held hud
little chanes of esoape. He was killed
at the third exchange of shots.
The duel resulted from a party of
students baving jostled some officers
ia the street. Held was with the students and he slapped the face of Lieutenant Thieme, who was ln plain
clothes.
About the same time toat the court
of honor was arranging the details of
the dual, Emperor William was receiving New Tsar's congratulations from
the German generals. ' According to
gdssto current in military messes, the
emperor on this occasion decided tha
doors of the salon hs closed and talked
for sereral minutes about duelipas.
The emperor is reported to have satd
that, so far as he was concerned he did
not expect to trontJle himself with
what tbe subalterns might do, as he
looked to the corps commanders and
would hold them personally responsible to himself for the prevention of unnecessary duels. Empsror WUliam is
also credited with having said that If
duels sbould occur in 1902 similar to
some which hail taken place in 1901,
he would demand resignations.

the tracks upon which their cars run
and that the public. In crossing, must
concede the right of ownership and
must ascertain whether the company,
a* the owner of the track, Is about to
use it, otherwise if Injury remits, the
company cannot be field liable for
damages. The case decided was that
of the widow of John McCrackeo, of
Pittsburg, a bicyclist who was killed by
a car on the Consolidated Traction
Company of Pittsbnrg, while attempting to cross ln front of a car. Thd do,-
cistor, among other things, says:
"McCracken was bound to look and
listen before crossing. A bicycler is
not exempt from observing the. caution
Imposed on the public, and to hold
otherwise' would be to give' the bicycler a right to the tracks superior
to that of the railroad company." ,

The Tioga Oil Fleld.
The foUowing Is from the Philadelphia Press-
..The Gaines natural gas fleld ln Tioga "county is a tbing of the past. The
flow has decreased to suoh a decree
tbat the pipes are bing taken up, and
the-people of that section atter three
years' experience witb gas as fuel, have
gone back to wood and coal. A correspondent declares tbat gas bas been
decreasing during tbe summer, and
tbere being no new weUs drlUed the
flow a month ago became so faint that
it was discarded. Tfie Gaines field, It is
feared, both from the standpoint of oil
&n\ gas, bas seen Its day. Though a
number of wells yet produce sufficient
oU to make tbeir operation profitable,
yet the«*upply has dwindled to naught.
and the people of the neighborhood can
no longer reap comfort and convenience from this fuel. The Held will
probablv become all the more listless.
The Gaines oil and gas field is.-a graveyard of shattered hopes and fortunes.
For two years its-erratic and will-o'-
the wisp "gushers" attracted to it a
swarm of prospectors whose money
was spent in drilling and whose hopes
Sank lower and lower with each re-
Stirring "duster." A few men—owners
of the land—made money during tbe
excitement, but a majority of those
wbo took money into the field saw it
sink with the drills tbat plugged tbeir
wry down into the dry holes. It is
Ukoly. of course, thnt more drilling
will be done. There are plenty of old
oil men who believe there must, be a
belt somewhere from which the Gaines
pool is fed, and they are willing to
continue ; their hunt- fbr it if anybody
can he found to supply the money.
