Joseph Megler's Parsult After a Milllonaire Bride Rosaits In Poverty. New York, June 19.—The Herald says Joseph P. Megler has tried for seven vears to become the husband of some rich woman, and has ignominiously failed. Perhapy no other man in the United States has been as vorsistent in this direction as Mr. Mecler has been. If 5o, he 1s entitled to distinction in the groat army of eccentric persons. Mr. Megler put his scheme of fortune hunting into operation in 1585, and has kopt it up ata hot pace until now, ana after rapeated disap- pointments has concluded that there is noth- ing in it. "I could not go through the mill azain," he snil sadly yesterday. “It has ruined my health and has been expensive. I was pros- perous bofore, 1 set out to marry for money, aad through my persistent endeavors to wed an heiress I have becomo poor.” Mr. Megler's proposals of marriage to womon all over the country have been with- out exception malied from Portland, Ore. He has been tick and idle siuce he returned to Now York, his native city, and while ho has abandoned fortune hunting, he thinks that he has not_been treated quite right by Mrs, W. H. Vacdorbilt, one of whoso eighteen grandchildren b was ambitious to murry. In speaking of his unprofitable cor- respondence with Mrs, Vanderbilt, Meglor told me that he considered that ho stood as £00d a chance as anybody to wed one of the eighteen grandehildren, and being a native New Yorker he was entitled to eonsiaeration. “Mrs, Vanderbilt was not the first person I addressed on this matrimonial question,’™ he said. “1 wanted to marry Evelyn, daughter of Cicero Hunt Lewis, a rich man of Portland. I thought I was going to et Evelyn, but sho s warried now.’ Hero Megler fished out of his trunk an ac- count book, in which was written in pencil copies of letters he had addressed to wealthy men and women informing them that he was in the ficld hunting for a rich wife. This is Whatho wroteto Helen Gould on May 3, 8861 Dear Miss: T have gone Into the m monial market and have your niame o catalogue. Should thisinforniation camm your fancy, be kind enough to write me of your approval at once. ars rospectfully, Jozepi M. MEGLER. Megler wrote to Miss Jennio Flood, daughter of tho inte James C. Flood, in a similar vein, and also made inquiry’ from John Jacob Astor and Charles Crocker, the San Francisco millionaire, .f they had any unmarried daughters. Ho told mo that MF. Crocker, while on a visit to Portland, made inquiry about him at the store where he was employed, and that ho was flattered at hav- ing attracted Mr. Crocker's atteution. Another letter in Meglor's. book was ai- rocted to Miss Clothilde Palms, daughter of the late Francis Palms, a Datroiv million- aire. Megler told mo in conciusion that he used to believe that ho was destined to be wealthy, because many years ago, before he went west, Jay Gould “winked at him ono night in the Grand opera house. Although Megler hns abandoned his fortuno hunting, ho reads the nowspapors carofully every day in the nopo of getting information about tho objects of his former epistolary pursuits. g Dr. Birncy’s Cotarrh FPowder for cold in head.

S-S Ly SIBERIAN LEPERS, Horrible Conditionjof the Afilicted People— A Revolting Story, Benury, June 19.-—Kate Marsden, who is interested in a project to establish a leper colony in Siberia, has arrived here from St. Petersburg enroute to the United States. In an interview today she gave a graphic de- scription of her six weeks tour of tho leper colonies of Siberia. She says that as soon as any person shows signs of the discass the victim is driven into the depths of the forest, there tolive upon tree bark and upon rotten fish, This food is furmshed by rolatives, who aeposit it at a distance from the mis- eravle huts of the victims, The huts are one- nalf under ground for the sake of warmth, and are hundreds of versts apart, so that supervision is impossible. Miss Marsden ana thirty guides wero obliged to cut a path for themselves through the undergrowtn of tho forests and to proceed in single-file. They found the lepers ill-clad aad living 1n indescribable filth and vice, dragging out. a horrible existence for years, until thoy die of the disease or starvation, aftor becoming s0 loathsome that they have lostall sem- olunco of humanity. Miss Marsdeu says that thore has been found in Yakutaska a lant that is reputed to curo leprosy, but she Flas not been ablo to test it as yet. She 1n- tends to return to Yakutaska to establish a colony at Velnisk. el If you aro bilious, take Boecham’s Pills. Visit the exposition and see goods manufactured.

A sergeant major gets just $15 per month, & ser- geant $0 and a private only $2.50 pver month, Even musicians cannot get more than # per ‘month in the regular army. The private 18 allowed usually about 4 cents a day for mess, in ad- dition to one pound, ten and two-thirds ounces of coarse bread. To this is aaded about 8 cents more, which is deducted from his monthly pay, and on this combinstion, which is managed with scrupulous economy, he managos to look well foa at loast and to do & good deal of hard work, “One phase of the German question,” says the editor of this voluue, “has beon eu- tirely overlooked.

The fiction of “*Monte Cristo,”or Rider Haggard’s “*King Solomon’s Mines” is commonplace alongside of the romance of riches which could be told of fire- swept Oil Creék, says the Ne w York Adv ertiser. The history of this won- derful region has yet to be written, and when it is written it will be a chapter of amazing interest. Like the fabled river, O1l Creek rolled golden sands. From a wilderness the valloy through which it flowed suddenly became a populous disteict. Towns grew up in a night and were sometimes destroyed in an hour. Many of them were rebuilt anumber of times. When the oildevelopment moved away from them they were taken down, board by board and house by house, hauled aw: on wagons and rebuilt elsewhere. The Duncan house, a hotel large enough to accommodate several hundred guests, first erected in Pithole, a few miles the hills from Oil Creek. In less than a year it was torn down and rebuilt in Titusville. From Titusville it was taken to Pleasantville, and thence to Oil City, where 1t did duty as a hotel, boarding house and tenement house for many years. The Chase house, in Pithole, was built aud furnished without regard to cost, and never entertained a guest. The big well collapsed, and the entire town moved elsewhere. The Holden farm, upon which the first large wells were found, was bought by a Chicago. company for $1,500,000. Within a few years this farm has been sold for taxes or less than $100, At the time of the petroloum development in Pithole the town was the third insize in the state Philadelphia and Pittsburg exceeding Now there is mnot a plank left to mark where it stood. A large church was built on a hill somo distance from the town. The belfry has fallen in, and for twenty- soven years the structure has been abandoned; but the Sunday school library, consisting of several hundred volumes, still remains in the basement. The books are mildewed, and sheep that run wild on the hills herd in tne Sunday school room as a place of shol- ter. The church was built by the “Swordsmen’s club,” which was organ- ized by oil producers and business men about town, the object of which was ‘‘to have fun.” % ‘When the oil excitement swept down Oil creek, Hamilton McClintock owned the Smith farm. He had traded a yoke of oxen for it~ McClintock sold the farm to H. 1. Beers and P. P. Cornen for $1,000, and was pleased with his profit.” Beers & Cornen developed the farm and it produced between $4,000.000 and $5,000,000 worth, of oil. Many other farms have histopies almost as remark- able. A In these bonanza !days oil was trans- orted from the wells entirely by wagons. gohn Wade drove his team all the way from central Ohio 16 engage in hauling oil. It was a profitable business, and he 80on accumulated a few thousund dollars which he investéd in a well on Cherry run, which empties into Oil crecek at Rouseviile, thrée miles above Oil City. The well was drjlled and proved to be a gusher. In a dayor two after it was struck Frank Allen of New York, os agent for the Igepublic Oil compuny, paid Wade $280,000 cash for his well. Wade drew the money from the bank, hitched up his team and drove back with his easily earned fortune to central Ohio. Boston capitalists built the Humboldt refinery in the wools on Cherry run, to over JUNE 20, 1892 refine oil by a process which they owned he vefinery cost severnl hundred thou- sand dollars.
