At daylight this nornlng nn Associated Press reporter walked lirough the quarter of the city where the tormy scones of the previous night had been nactcd. The dawning was an peaceful and irilliant as over soon. Against nn exquisitely inted nky lu the east the broken walls of the nirnlng court house were distinctly defined , tlthlts crumbled window openings looking Iko rude wounds. Over the ruins of the .roasuror's office , la the northern part of the building , TUB RTJDDY GLOW OK THE FIRE as still \lelblo , while from other portions hln , whlto colored smoke and steam was rls- ng , as tha water tlirawn by the engines fell nto the burning contents. Last night when ho sun wont down Iho occupants of the ronsuror's office were sitting nttho open platq [ lass Windows smoking cigars nnd reading ho accounts nf the previous night's attempts in the jail. There was no thought that In Ix hours those windows would bo broken nnd ho accumulated wealth of the contents of hat great building in ruins. But this bulld og , great as its loss , was merely property. Jtiier losses In that locality were of human Ifo. ONLY 1'OOLS OF BLOOD , lore aud there in the trampled dust , or on ha brick sidewalks , were to bo soon. Only an hour before , on Sycamore street , below Jourt , lay four or five dead bodies of drunken > r venturesome men , who , in spite of the po- Icomen'ii warning , had gene beyond the limit larmtttod by the militia. When they foil tin- lor the fire of the militla.no ono dared to go and take them away until the mob had dis' > orecd and the streets wore clear. Only two lours before , at 3 n. in. , when n small crowd n.therod at the drug store at the corner of Jourt nnd Walnut , n square west of the court louse , to see tyioi patrol wagon take away a load man , the militia , mistaking this for a onowal of the mob , P1UKD A VOLLEY , tilling ono and wounding a nephew of the iroprietor of the store. Ono ball struck the rou facing of the door , and , rebounding , rashed through the glass door near the head if the proprietor , who was using tha tele- ihono nt the time.

The burning of the court louse was wholly aimless nnd malicious , ex- ept that ono might find excuse in tha feeling hat the craw d was angered nt the plnco vhoro failure to do justice had been so narked. It did not aid at all in getting at ha prisoners nor doing harm to the militia , t was purely wanton , Nor was there any KXCUSO for a failure to protect this property.

New York Special to the Cincinnati Comm'rcial Ga- zotto. "Yes , " said Sterling Morton to-day , 'I attended the frco trade dinner at Dol- monico's , and lot mo toll you what I of it. " Mr. Morton is the Nebraska member of the national democratic committeeand ono of the most pronounced and vigorous roe traders in this country. It i chiefly under his "missionary work" that the anti-protection movement has developed such strength in the northwestern states. "Well , " ho said , "thoro vroro only two speeches that hit the nail on the head. Ono was made by Prof. Summer , of Yale , and the other by David A. Wells. I see that the newspapers appear to bo some what charmed with the utterances of Speaker Carlisle on that occasion , espe cially with his statement that ho favored reformation in tbo tariff , not revolution. It is a meropicca of resonanceand moans nothing. If iho doctrine of free trade s right it is all right ; if wrong , it is all wrong. "Thoro is no qhanco for neutral ground. The speech of Carlisle in sub- itanco was about this : 'Yos , I1 believe n virtue ; women shall all bo chaste ; but when you find a fallen woman , don't try w reform her too abruptly. You might defeat the end in view. Firsb make a mistress of her , and so load her up by easy and gradual stages to a plane of re spectability. This sort ot argument is not the stuff out of which succcssful cam- > aigns are mado. "In Sumner there was something mas culine. I think him the ablest man in America on this subject. While his Ian- ; uago is torso and plain enough for a child to understand , the style is always wonderfully alluring. The constitution recognizes no principle of protection , by which nionny , not strictly for public pur- > oaos , can bo raised. So far Sumner , nd Carlisle agreed admirably together ; > ut when Mr. Carlisle began to plunge iround in the surplus ho lost himself. L'ho surplus is a necessary incident of > rotection , and instead of being reduced > y the Morrison bill , it is more likely to > o increased ; just as receipts increase on incs of travel , whou you lower the rates of faro. But the size of the surplus has nothing to do with the principle at itako n this question. Every dollar of it ia liiahway robbery and should bo knockodi oil. " "Tlun you don't think much of the Morrison compromise ? " "Why , no ; it is dictated by what thoy. call policy , which is a polite name for cowardice. By the time the bill is ready to bo passed , it will bo so emasculated by amendment , that nothing consistently democratic will bo loft. The party , seems to be Unfortunate in its leadership. Morrison is a good , clean man , but ho lacks the drive and magnetism needed in a captain. Frank Hurd , in my judg.- mont , has by far the ablest command ol the facts and philosophies of interna tional trade , and groups thorn so as. to make an invincible array. " "But they say ho is altogether too im pulsive for leadership , which moans , ] presume , that ho has the brains to say what ho thinks and the courage to moan what ho says. " "Has frco trade dovolopodi much atroncth in the west ? " "Vcry _ decided. Wo are just getting the thing organized norby froa trade clubs in Kansas , Iowa and Nebraska. Out in Frank Hurd'o Toledo district , they are the only localities where the is- BUO has boon squarely made , and tha results have boon tremendous. Kansas has a democratic gov rnorIovva ; elected hvo democrats to congress , and a repub lican governor scratched through by a plurality , in a state that gave Garfield nearly 50,000 majority. In Nebraska , the capital county , which wont republi. can in 1881 by over 800 , wont demo- cratio by 1,100 in the following year , which accounts largely for the symptoms of uneasiness , cu omo subjects , betrayed by Senator Van Wyck. " "You will want a pretty nil IT pl nk. then , at Chicago ? " "Yes , and when the people have a chance to bo heard , will bo pretty likely to got it. Out of the thirty-eight mem bers of our committee , twenty are sub stantial frco-traden , but they don't want too much revolution at once , like brother Carlisle. They wish us well , aud all that sort of thing , but want to drive us with a curb bit. You can just put it down , though , as an already aettlod factor in the tight , that the people are way ahead of the politicians in this business. They are taking an independent grasp of the subject in their inhids. and will take an independent grasp of it at the polls be fore lonij , unless they oiu got thomsolyee hoard in norao regular party organiza Hon. " "Thei you contemplate a bolt ? " "I think the rooplq Uo , From thi way ttu'ngs flio shaping themselves . ' would not surprise mo jn the least if the time would bo about ripe for this sort o A movement next fall , and you'l hear something drop when it docs come , Ono very important clement is figuring with great prominence all along the line and giving brains and backbone to the causo. I mean what is contcmptously alluded to sometimes as Iho scholar ir politics. By far the great majority ol collego-brod men I have over mot are active and intelligent froo-tradcra. ] can't recall ono who is n protec tionist unless his personal intcrcstir are nl stake. That sounds like a bold'state ment , but 1'vo been careful to invest- ! gato. Now thcso trained and skilled1 jno- fcsshnal thinkers are forever at work , prosecuting their independent inquiries , and putting the results in condensed and clear shape for the common voter to digest , and by keeping as nearly as may be abreast of thcso scholars , the people are leaving the politicians in the roar and rapidly acquiring an independent and original power that will eventually carry thorn beyond party barriers. My judg ment of the present condition of things is that n strong frco-trado party is getting itself together for business the symp toms are in the air. For a time they will encounter , like the early abolitionists , the natural amount of persecution and con tempt , but if its loadershanc on likogrim death , and display something like the jtter lack of cnwardico that distinguished Wendell Phillips , I have no doubt in the world of their final triumph. Courage , ind not policy , should bo the democratic watchword of the hour. " Bnhlmtli-Kccping Oil Well. Oil City Derrick. There are few of the old oil men whoso connection with the exciting lifo of the oil regions began on Oil crook that can not recall the interest excited by the cc- : ontricities ( as they were supposed to bo hen ) , of a well on the Buchanan farm , at liousovillo. It was the first flowing well over struck in the oil regions , and it lovoloped a peculiarity of ceasing to ilow at 12 o'clock Saturday night and starting again on Monday morning that gave it ho name of the Sunday woll. It was located on a loose ton' rods quaroj and the postoflico building , of Housovillo was afterward put up on- the ease where the well was. Drilling was lone with a spring polo. Drive-pipes were used to reach the rock , for whiclt ! 25 a point was paid. On January,12 , .861 , the well had reached a depth of .01 foot , and was on top of the first and. By this time there was a dozen traducing wells in the vicinity , all tumping , and all drilled wet , as was Mr. /urtis' also. A hard shell was struck on ho top of the first sand , on which they Irillod for a long time , the light tools of hose days making very little impression om it. At last it was broken , when the oil suddenly began to flow. Not oxpect- ng a flowing well , there was no tankago ip , but the planks were on the grounder or it. In those days square tanks were built. The well flowed troncly , nnd largo stream of oil ran down the crook. Sfforts- were at once mad to obtain bar- ols , and the tank was pushed to coin- ilotion as rapidly as possible. To save ho oil until iho tank was up a large logshead was obtained and placed in the orriok. A plug was made out of a cantling and driven into the top of the Irive-pipe. A hole was bored through the enter of the plug and a load pipe insert- diinibandbent over into the hogs- icad. Men were then employed to dip ho oil out ofi the hogshead with pails nd pour it into barrels through the old- ashionod broad eider funnels. No ono uggostod that the surface-water bo shut ffj andiin those days it was not thought f. The novelty of a flowing well drew irge crowds to the spot , and for many weeks it wan- the topic of conversation mong oil mon. The well flowed into the hogshead hrough the lead pipe without tubingin tfor several weeks , or until a tank ould be built. After the tank was up no jointof two and one-half inch tubing was put into the-drive-pipe , and extended up into the clarrick through the bottom of a common , oil barrel which was _ fas- onod.there on a scaffolding. The single pint of tubing was all tha was ever put nto the wolU Old clothes and waste wore pactfeuVocound the tubing inside the drivo-pipo , and braces put on them and against the sides , of the derrick to prevent - vent their being blown out. The owner estimated the best day's production ofi .ho well at ai.ity barrels , or possibly sov- mtyv-fLvo bonds , though others put it as ligh as 0113 hundred barrels. Oil wrw. sold from this- well in the month of Janu ary at $ LO' ' & barrel. After the well began flowing into'thc , barrel at the end of the tubing , poblebs could frequently bo heard rattling 4n it and ono fiow forced the head of the bar rel out. When this was being mend ed it discovered that the bottom of the barrel w&a filled with pebbles which had been thrown out to the depth of neayly afoot foot- footAfter After being turned into the tank for four or five days the well began flowing with the greatest regularity. It lQwod four times a day , and so regular that for a number of days the flows did not vary a. minute. Its time of flowing became so well known that mon would corao with thair watches to time it , and amuse themselves by regulating the time of days by it. On the second or third Sunday , after being turned into the tank it madia uo oil. This was reported to Mr. Curtis , the owner , and also the fact that on the next Sunday ir made no ilow. On the following Monday morning , , finding tJio same thing had occurred , Mr. Cuztis ordered a gauge to bo taken the next Saturday night at 12 o'clock and another on Monday moraiug. This was done , and the gauges showed that not r.drop of oil had boon put in the tank. This occurred each Sabbath for a long time , causing great interest nnd mystery in the minds of the people * At that time there was considerable discussion con cerning the breaking sf thoSabbath on oil wells nnd this well curved as u good text against Sabbath breaking After soiwi study Mr. Curtis discovered that this cc- centricity was duo to a natural causo. There- were many pumpica wells sur rounding the Sunday well , all of which were shut down Saturday aight at mid night. The surface wotoa was not shut off , and thU doodad the producing sand. On Monday morning the pumping wells were started Again , and as soouas the water was oahnustod thu Sunday well be gan flowing again with its accustomed regularity , only to oloao when Saturday night cawo around. When tha oil was exhausted in the first sand , after the weU bad produced three or four months , it was iirjllod by otoam power through the third eh d. a .denth of 500 feet. No oil was found lu either the second or third Band , and it was abandoned. Muanwhile , the price of oil had declined from the § 10 point In Jtttwiry ta So cents a barrel.
