Struck Oil.

A message from New York says:-— The most remarkable rush witnessed in America for oaaay years past in being made consequent upon the discovery of petroleum in the State of Tfecas. Tht &nd was made at Beaumont almost accidentally, and it IB claimed that fchs output of the single well now 'spouting' amounts to more tban 25,000 barreli daily. This, it is maintained, is far greater than that of any oil well either in Pennsylvania or Russia. Piece the well was tapped three or four d&yß ago the oil has been gushing oat in a steady Stream 200 feet high and 6 inches in, diameter; So far all effects to 'anchor' the stream has been futile, mfcb tba result that since the well commenced tospoutit h*« run quite 100,000 bar rels of valuable oil to waste in the dirt. The construction of reservoirs hai, however, been commenced with grrat energy, with the object of stopping tht? waste at the, earliest possible moment. Great excitement has been aroused all over the UnitedStates by ibisdiscopeEy. Fxperts have deserted the oil wells in Pennsylvania and Ohio and are making for Texas. The rush isso great that it is impossible for the crowds to obtain accommodation in and around Beau mont, and the railway company ii run ning special trains daily .between Beaumont and adjacent towns and cities where there is house room for the "oil-maniacs."

"Black Maria" Doomed.

Is st Black Maria" doomed 1 It would seem so, fdr it is understood. that the Home Office is considering "plans cf an entirety new form of prlaon van. We shall owe the change to Mr Thomas Holmes, the London Police Court Mis sionary, who haa called attention to the degradation of this drive, barred up In a dark, ill-ventilated cupboard, in which there is no room to move. Mr Holmes declares that Ve has "tieea told again and again by prison erß that their sufierings then have been far more than any punishment received durlnec their imprisonment, "Black Matin' is the survival of the time when prisoners were treated more like animals than human beings. One strong reason for its aboli« tion, says the "St Jame's Gazette,' 1 is that the ordeai of the degrading drive in the ctuelly-oonstruc fed van ia often experienced by indvidcata arrested on fa'se suspicion, and whose innocence Is certain to be established. The origin of the term ** Black Maria" is not generally known. When New Kngland was filling with emigrants from tha Mother'country, a negresp n-tned Maria Lee kepb a sailors' boarding house in Boston. SShe was a woman of pro* digious strength, and helped the authorl' ties to keep the peace. Frequently the police invoked her aid, and the saying, " Send for Black Maria" came to mean, " Take him to gaol." British seamen were often taken to the lockup by this Amazon, and the stories they epread of her achievement led t > the name of "Black Maria" being given to the English prison van.
