the Petition to Courts.
k?: ASSIGKEE M'KELTEY IS SATISFIED.
EenatorTJppennan was seen late last night
after his return from Harrisbnrg. He was
jubilant over the success oi his mission,
which was the dispossession of Assignee
McKelvey and the choice of a receiver, as a
means of satisfying the united demands of
the depositors of the bank, whom himself
ana Attorney George C. "Wilson represented
in their mission to Harrisbnrg.
He stated that they consulted with Audi
tor General McCamant and Deputy Attor
ney General Sanderson as to the necessity of
the appointment of a receiver yesterday
morning, and strongly argued in favor of
dispensing with the usual formality of au
thorizing an investigation by an examiner
because of the delay such a proceedure
would involve, and because there was no
doubt of the insolvency of the Lawrence
Bank. They also presented a petition
signed bv about 300 depositors of the insti
tution asking for a receiver.
A LEGAL OPINION XW FATOB.
Auditor General McCamant indicated his
willingness to indorse the petition to the
court for a receiver, but -was requjred to be
governed in his action by the decision of the
Law Department of the State. The Deputy
Attornev General gave the matter presented
to him further consideration during the day,
and at a consultation in the afternoon, at
which the Pittsburg representatives of the
suffering depositors were present, decided
that the circumstances justified the appoint
ment of a receiver at once. The Auditor
General thereupon acquiesced in the request
Ar ttA ionncifare hv KipniniT the Detition
asking the Allegheny county courts to ap
point a receiver to take charge of the col
lapsed bank. Senator TJpperman says that
he stated to McCamant while there, that he
did not believe the institution would pay 30
cents on the dollar of the amounts it owes to
depositors.
LAWBENCEYTLIK DELIGHTED.
The knowledge that many of the deposi
tors of the Lawrence Bank heard yesterday
afternoon that Auditor General McCamant
had acted favorably upon the petition for
the appointment of a receiver to straighten
out the affairs of-the bank caused great sat
isfaction. There was an air of quiet greater
than usual in Lawrenceville, and rumors
were fewer and less startling than hereto
fore. One of these rumors was to the effect
that the people now engaged on the bank's
hooks had discovered assets which had not
before been known to exist. This was a
source of consolation to some of the deposi
tors, and hope was revived in many
breasts.
Kb statement has been given out by
Assignee McKelvey, and he makes no pre
diction as to when "be can or will give the
depositors any information. He declined
to answer any questions put by a Dispatch
reporter vesterday, saying that ha was too
busy to talk. James TJpperman told the
reporter that he had received a dispatch
from his brother, Senator TJpperman, stating
that the Auditor General had granted the
depositors' request for a receiver. "Who
would be appointed to the office he did not
know. "When Mr. McKelvey was told of
this, he said that he was very glad of the
prospect of being speedily relieved of his
duties as assignee.

SICK TO SOME PURPOSE.
How a Pauper'! Illness Results In a Fns
nce to Europe.
The Department ot Charities secured a
ticket yesterday from Consul Schamberg
and presented it to an inmate of the City
Farm for his passage home to Germany.
The inmate's name is John Maluntch, a
pauper who landed in New York last May
and went to Calumet, Michigan, where he
worked in an ore mine.
Being thrown out of work he came here
and worked in a mill but took sick and had
to be sent to the farm. His illness baffled
the skill of the physician there until the
lrappy thought came that he mieht be home
sick. Proof of this idea was manifest when
the poor fellow was told he would be sent
home. He brightened up at once, his eyes
shone and the tears began to flow for happi
ness and his illness immediately left him.
He is a young man of but 20 years.

AFTER A NATIONAL EVENT.
ritubnrg Sabbath School Workers Will
Try to Get the National Conference to
Meet Here An Instinctive Session.
Yesterday afternoon the Sabbath School
Institute of the Presbytery of Pittsburg met
in the Southside Presbyterian Church.
About 100 members were present. "Willis
A. Boothe -was chairman of the conference.
After the opening devotional exercises Mr.
Boothe announced that Mr. Samuel Ham
ilton was sick and unable to attend the
meeting to read a paper on "Discipline in
the Sabbath School," but that Dr. J. L.
Person would speak on the same subject.
Dr. Person made a brief speech on the
subject, holding that a Sunday school
teacher should systematise her work so
thoroughly that the matter of discipline
would not be apparent and would not be op
pressive. A short and general discussion of
the subject was made and showed that all
were in favor of strict discipline and that
the only proper way to secure it was through
love.
Mr. E. S. Gray made an address on the
"Primary Schodl," taking the position that
this infant department in the Sabbath
school was the most important in the school,
as the earnestness of early teaching laid the
foundation for the shaping of character of
young people.
The question drawer was then opened and
many questions pertaining to the easiest
method ot teaching were asked and an
swered. The business meeting was then commenced
and'Vice President "W. C. Lilley took the
chair. Bev. C. B. Hatch, Secretary, read
the minutes of the last meeting and the
Chair appointed a committee, Messrs. Gray,
Person and Hatch, to draw up a minute re
questing the managers of the International
American Sabbath School Convention to
appoint Pittsburg as the place for the an
nual conference next June. The committee
was instructed to report in the evening. It
was then announced that the ladies of the
church had prepared a lunch for the dele
gates, so an adjournment until evening was
made.
The evenine session of the Sabbath School
Institute in the First Presbyterian Church,
South Twentieth and Sarah streets, South
side, was well attended last night. "The
Art of Questioning" was the subject of
some remarks by Bev. J. D. Moffat, D. D.
The speaker detailed his own exDerience in
Sabbath school work,and begged the teacher
to study well the lesson before trying to
teach it to her scholars.
"How to study the Gospel by Luke" was
the title of the address delivered bv Prof.
M. B. Biddle, D. D. The professor started
out by saying that he was sure there were
not five people in the audience who could
tell him ten things done by our Lord when
He was on earth, and yet he would venture
to say that at least CO out of every
100 could tell him almost everything
about Abraham Lincoln or any of the
modern martyrs or heroes. The speaker
then launched forth into a pleasing and in
structive address, telling his hearers to
study out the questions in the Bible and
take them to heart.
A special choir furnished the music for
last evening's session and did it in a pleas
ing manner.

HER STORY TOLD TO THE CORONER
James Holanay ttadly Injured by a Pitts
burg Traction Car.
A TEACKWALKEE COMES TO GBIEF
The inquest upon the remains of Charles
J. "Waite was held yesterday at "West Eliza
beth, and was attended by a very large
gathering of the citizens, who were excited,
not alone on acconnt of the strangeness of
the manner of his death, but with sympathy
for the young lady who was the unwitting
cause of his death. The case was fully ex
plained in The Dispatch on the day after
the unfortunate accident, and, in accordance
with the facts there set forth as corroborated
in the evidence, rendered the following ver
dict: Charles J. Waite, aged 23 years, came to his
death at the residence of Mrs. Catherine
Welsh, West Elizabeth borough, from internal
hemorrhage, due to a gun-shot wound In the
right breast, and from all other evidence the
iury finds that said wound was received at the
lands of Josephine Welsh. The jury finds that
said shooting was an accident, and exonerates
Miss Welsh from all blame and responsibility.
MISS WELSH'S TESIIMONT.
The testimony of the young lady who so
unfortunately caused the death of a young
man just in the spring time of life, is prob
ably of interest, and by the courtesy of
Coroner McDowell is published. It reads
as follows:
Miss Josephine "Walsh, sworn, lives at
Elizabeth, Pa.: "On "Wednesday last, No
vember 28, 1889, we were at home, Mr.
"Waite, mother, George and myself. Mr.
"Waite had an old-fashioned pocket book
which he was displaying. Mr. McCoyan,
engineer on P. & C'. B, R., was present.
There were some relics from England in the
pocket book. "We looked all through it.
He then said: 'Come upstairs and I will
show youmytrunf He picked up the
lamt and started UDstairs. I fallowed. He
had the trunk ready to close. The revolver
was in the top part. He picked the
revolver up and I tried to run away. I was
cold and would have gone down stairs, but
he took the revolver and sat down on my lap
and put tne revolver to my bead, saying:
'You be my wife or I'll kill you. I don't
think he meant it. I motioned him away,
and told him I was afraid. He talked, and
I told him of a man killing, his nephew
while cleaning a revolver, and I said to
him: 'Charlie, what would you do if you
killed me like that?' He said: '"Why, I
would kneel down and put the revolver to
my head and kill myself.' He handed the
revolver to me and told me to shoot it off. I
took it and was afraid of it. I kept it at
arm's length, and he told me several times
it was not loaded."
HOW THE TBAGEST OCCUBEED-
"I then took the revolver and held it
down, and was afraid it might be discharged
and hurt some person downstairs, and I
pointed it from me toward the empty side of
the house. The hammer went down, but
there was no discharge. He had handed me
the revolver with the hammer raised. There
was no load in it He then said again, 'It
ain't loaded.' That reassured me and I was
not so much afraid of it, but still kept it at
arm's length. He said to me, 'This is
self-cocking; you raise the hammer .and
watch barrel turn.' I know nothing of
firearms. I did so; and he said, 'Shoot it
off,' and it was discharged then. I did
not know it had shot him, as I did not hear
the discharge. He looked at me and said,
'Oh, Joe. you've hit me,' and started down
stairs. I ran downstairs and saw I had shot
him. He was always fooling me, making
me believe he was hurt I did not believe
he was hurt, and laughed at him after iBhot
him. "When we got to the top of the stairs
I said, 'Charlie, are you hurt?' He did not
answer. He went on downstairs and fell on
the floor. There had been no trouble or ill
feeling between us. "We were always the
best of friends. I cannot say what position
I had the revolver in."

WHERE IS THE WHAEFHASTEB?
Controller Brown, of Allegheny, Looking for

City Controller Brown, of Allegheny, is
looking for David Lighthill, the City
"Wharfmaster, who is missing. The latter's
duties are said to have been neglected, and
the Controller has written to him several
times, without receiving a reply.
Lighthill has not been seen about his
office for some time, and a general inquiry
is being made. The Controller has not re
ceived any returns from the office for the
past two months, and is holding back the
"Wharfmaster's salary for October and No
vember to protect the city. Lighthill only
collects the transient wharfage, and the re
ceipts of the office are bnt about $1,000. His
salary is $900. Controller Brown Btated last
evening that he would, notify Lighthill's
bondsmen to make good the difference be
tween the receipts of the office and the
Wharfmaster's salary for two months. This
is only about $15. The "Wharf Committee
will act on the matter at the next meeting.
Lighthill's term of office will expire in
April. There are three candidates for the
position. These are ex-Wharf master Charles

DISPATCH,' '
PEESBITEEUNS MEET.
An Interesting Session of Allegheny Connty
Ministers Subjects Ably Discussed to
Promote the Weal of the Church and
Its Members.
The evening and concluding session of
the convention was conducted by the Eev.
D. Kennedy. After the opening exercises
the Bev. Dr. H. T. McClelland delivered an
address on "Consecration What it is and
How Secured." In substance he said that
the idea of consecration is self-dedication to
the work of God; a consecration to the liv
ing God, or serving of righteousness.
He cited the example of David before the
people, working for the creation of the
temple and asking the people, "Who this
day is willing to consecrate himself to the
work of God?" Another and the greatest
example in the world was that of Christ,
who consecrated His whole life to the work
of His Father for the salvation of mankind.
Consecration is to be secured, he concluded,
by contemplation of the self-evident grace
of God, a self dedication to the"serving of
God and the use of grace which increases by
usage.
The Bev. Dr. L N. Hays followed with
an address on "Personal Works." He Baid
that there is a pressing need this hour for a
general revival of religion; a revival of pure
and undented religion. For this there is
needed first, consecration, and then personal
work. Everything about religion, he safd,
is personal. There is a personal God, a per
sonal duty and a personal destiny, and a
crreat religions resDonsibiiity on the indi
vidual. "Man's first and highest obligation
is to his own soul; nothing will compensate
him for the loss of his personal salvation.
The way to secure the salvation of others
is first to secure your own salvation. This
means personal activity, and every man
laid on Christ's altar offers himself for
service. Continuing Dr. Hays urged inde
fatigable efforts. They should look for per
sonal results, and the results from personal
work would be greater than by general
work, such as in the Sunday schools, etc
He meant by personal work, standing face
to face with a sinner and helping him to
grace. The teaching of the gospel should
be followed up by personal aid.
In the afternoon the Bev. David Ken
nedy spoke on "What Class of Themes Are
Best Calculated to Meet the Present Needs
of the Church." The Eev. Mr. McKallip
took for bis subject "Enthusiasm in the
Pulpit." Other speakers were the Bev.
Matthew Butherford and Dr. O. L. Miller.
The latter took for his subject "What is
Needed to Baise the Standard of Our Bible
School Work?" He dwelt on the prepar
ation that the teachers need in order to
teach, and emphasized the importance of
training them as teachers.
The proceedings of the convention in the
morning were quite interesting. "The
points within Allegheny Presbytery where
there are good prospects of building up a
Presbyterian Church, but which are now
unoccupied," was the subject, f a discussion
lead b Bev. J. T. Gibson, who believed
harmonious efforts and the desire of the peo
ple most interested would be successful. He
instanced Tarentum, where the people want
a $2,000 church and had $500 raised toward
it. Dr. Hays said he often felt dubious
about asking his people to send money away
when it was needed o badly at home. Bev.
G. M. Potter then spoke of "The number
and names of vacant churches within the
bounds of Allegheny Presbytery and the
cause of their vacancy." Among the places
mentioned were Glencoe, Glasgow, Indus
try, Freedom, Concord, Pine Creek, Sharps
burg, Evans City, New Salem, Ball Creek,
Cross Boads and Plains. Bev. B. C. Totten
then spoke of the "Means for meeting the
immediate needs of weak and vacant
churches in this Presbytery."
THE VACANT BE0GANS.
Plenty of People Willing to Don the Bobes
of Convicted Aldermen.
Notwithstanding the perils that environ
aldermen in this city who make haste to be
rich, there seems to be plenty of people will
ing to don the robes of those who have lately
gone into retirement. It is said that Gov
ernor Beaver proposes to fill the vacancjes
as soon as he ascertains tne proper mode -of
procedure.
A legal opinion is extracted which is that
on petition of a score or more of yeomen,
good and true, the Governor may declare
vacancies and fill them, unless the appeal to
the Supreme Court should be a rock in the
channel. Some legal lights think the appeal
would make no difference. -
Alderman Doughty's term ends in three
months, bnt there are plenty of people who
are willing to assume the trouble and ex
pense necessary to fill his brogans. It is
supposed that occupancy might help chances
for further aspirations in that direction.
Messrs. John Dunn, James White, George
Gibbons, James McCandless, Andrew Wil
son and Dr. McCreary's brother are spoken
of by the Bepublicans, while Democrats
talk of James McPike and L. Shultenbrand
as candidates, and Peter Zern looms up as
an independent. Samuel Bowden,
Doughty's constable, is also spoken of as an
aspirant.
Alderman Maneese was filling the unex
pired term of Alderman Miller and it is
thought there will be no appointment for
his position. Alderman Corcoran, ex-Alderman
Gallagher and John A. Martin are
willing to take the position.
Joseph L. Evans is said to be willing to
sit in the vacant seat of Alderman Ojllen,
of the Woods Bun district of Allegheny,
until the February election.

It is a matter of fact that one of the "H.

most remarkable thing in the steel world.

4UNP0WDEB AND A PIPE.
How
the Combination Affected Michael
Wright's Pocket and Side.
Michael Wright, a miner living at Mc
Donald's station, on the Panhandle Bail
road, was brought to the West Penn Hos
Eital yesterday suffering with some severe
urns about the side.
It seems that Wright was out hunting
and had a bag of gunpowder in a ooat
pocket. In a moment of abstraction he
dropped a lighted pipe into the same pocket.
The result was an explosion which nearly
tore Wright's clothing from his back and
injured him very severely.
Dean Delirious.
It is not now thought that Bobert B.
Dean, whose skull was trephined at'the
South Penn Hospital on Sunday, can live.
After the operation he became delirious,
and so violent that he had to be strapped
down on his bed. Nothing more has been
learned as to how Dean's injury was re
ceived. The Results of Scarlet Fever.
All mucous membranes, as well as the
skin, are involved in the eruption of scarlet
fever, which in the. ears often terminates in
suppuration with perforation of the drum
head, discharge of matter for months, or for
life if neglected, and greatly diminished
hearing, is the result. Severe colds in the
head may produce similar conditions.
"Proud flesh" and polypus in the middle
ear.often occur in chronic cases. There is
no case of this character but that can be
healed. The sobner it is done the-better the
hearing will be restored. So successful has
Dr. Sadler been in the treatment of snch
eases, that none fail to receive satisfaction
even though pronounced hopeless before.

There is. Not Much to Fear From
Cross Wires in Pittsburg.
AN EXCELLENT ALARM SYSTEM.
Other Big Tillages Adopting Gas City
Ideas of Prevention.
CAUSE OP EASTERN CONFLAGRATIONS
The danger of fires from the possible cross
ing oi wires as illustrated by the recent
Boston fire has aroused the citizens of Pitts
burg to the realization of danger. Appli
cations for information to The Dispatch
office prompted a consultation with Morris
Mead, Chief of the Bureau of Electricity,
who gave a most flattering acconnt of the
position of Pittsburg in comparison with
other cities. On the questions of fire pro
tection and light service, Mr. Mead said:
"I have Inst returned from a visit to New
York and Boston, and in the former city the
workmen were busy putting up lines both
day and night, working Sunday and every
other day, and are to-day doing by order of
the courts what the light lines in Pittsburg
have long ago done voluntarily.
"Now in Boston there is a peouliar feature
with regard to the fire alarm and other tele
graph lines, and that is, owing to the nar
rowness 01 tne streets, tne wires nave Deen
attached to" the houses, either on tops or on
the outside. In Pittsburg we have the
wires on poles of course, but we have what
no other city in the country has, a full cop
per wire service, with perfect insulation.
We may have a fire which would knock out
a few telegraph poles, or cause the wires to
be dropped through some mishap incidental
to a fire. Were the wires all dropped in a
bunch we could have full communication in
the fire service while other wires might be
cut out by being in contact.
PETVATE BOXES EBMOTED.
"ThereJs another additional precaution
which we have taken against crippling the
fire service of the city. When Chief Brown
first came into office I represented to him
the danger accruing from the boxes in
private houses. He at once gave the order,
and now there are very few boxes within
houses or large manufacturing buildings.
They are on poles in the street, isolated
from any chance of being destroyed in a
burning building. The reason for that is
the destruction of one of these boxes would
throw the circuit open, and cut out from 30
to 45 boxes in the same circuit, or, as in
Boston, close several circuits through the
burning of one building.
"The first trouble in New York and Bos
ton is that occasioned by the existence of
two or more rival companies, which, in the
ardor of competition, put up cheap iron
wire, cheap poles, ,and generally economized
in material to admit of the great expense of
securing new territory and extending the
lines without regard to the safety of either
the public or the workmen. It may seem
strange, as I am generally opposed to mo
nopolies, but I feel very much pleased that
the Westinghouse Company controls the
whole electric lighting of Pittsburg. The
work is thoroughly done and the precautions
are taken which are unfortunately omitted
in other places, making Pittsburg the safest
city from fire through electric casualties in
the Union. You can safely quote me as say
ing that I am ready to show how much bet
ter placed we are "than other cities in this
respect.
COMPLIMENTED PCTTSBUEO.
"Captain Landers, chief of the electrical
department of Boston, last week acknowl
edged our advantages in this respect when
explained to him, and I am willing to show
what our fire protection is by touching any
box in the city to test it, and if it is not be
ing repaired or some peculiar and unusual
reason exists for its isolation the response
will be immediate. I am perfectly satisfied
that we have the best system of wires in the
country. Cleveland is now commencing to
put in the copper wire service, and that is
merely following our example.
"As for putting the wires underground
that must necessarily be an affair of the
future. t You can only put one district or
circuit at a time underground, and it would
take 10 or 12 years to get all the wires here
below. By that time the number of wires
would have increased so much that it would
make changes in the buried part necessary,
and, judging trom the rapid strides made in
later years in electrical discoveries some
better method than either the cable or the
boxed wire system may by that time be
practicable."
A CHAPTER OP MISFORTUNES.
A Woman En Route to Denver Hears of Her
Husband's Death.
An unusually sad case come to the notice
of the Society for the Improvement o( the
Poor yesterday.
A month ago a man named Charles
Green left his wife in Harrisbnrg and
went to Denver, 'Col., to seek work. Soon
after he sent for her, and she started for
that place, checking her baggage through.
Getting as far as this city, she became sick,
and was sent to the Homeopathic Hospital.
The lady about recovered, and yesterday
was getting ready to resume her journey.
She had gotten a letter about a week ago
from her husband, in which he said he was
sick; and yesterday she received a telegram
saying he was dead. The poor woman went
to the society with her story, and they pro
vided her with good quarters at the Tem
porary Home. All her belongings are in
her trunk at Denver.
THEY HAD A QU0RU1T.
Welg-hty Blatters Attended to bv the Grover
Clereland CInb.
Brightly shone the lights in Houston's
Hall, Lawrenceville, last night and an air
of hopefulness and expectancy in keeping
with the title of the society that met there
Iiervaded the room. The "Grover Cleve
and Democratic Society" was holding its
monthly meeting, bnt it was a meeting of
more than ordinary importance because ex
Solicitor General George A Jenks had been
invited to address the assemblage. He did
not put in an appearance, however, sending
instead a letter regretting that he was de
tained elsewhere. So, being unable to
honor Mr. Jenks, the society elected to hon
orary membership ex-President Cleveland,
Allan G. Thurman, John G. Carlisle, Boger
Q. Mills, Henry W. Grady and Henry
Watterson. The business was transacted by
the five members present.
IH EL0URISH1KG CONDITION.
The Annual Meeting of the Bfnsonlc Fnnd
Society Last Klffht.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Masonic Fund Society was held yester
day in the .Masonic Temple on Fifth avenue,
and the usual reports were presented and
accepted.
The report showed that the building cost
$150,000, the income from which has been,
since its erection, $18,000, and the expenses
about balance the income, inclnding the
taxes, which are some 6,000. The original
stock was $30,000, and none of it is to-day
npon the market, nor will he except as part
ot the assets of some original stockholder.
TO BUCK AGAINST EXP10SITE&
A Trial of a Now Fire Extinguisher on the
Wharf This Afternoon.
What is claimed as a wonderful invention
in the realm of fire extinguishment, is to be
given a practical test this afternoon at the
foot of Fifth street and the Allegheny wharf.
"It is called the "Penn Electrio Fire Ex
tinguisher" and is said to differ very ma
terially from existing appliances. At the
trial it is stated that a portable house will be
filled with explosives and the torch applied
when the extinguisher will come into nlav.

GOOD COFFEE
Easy to Mnko If Ton Go Abont It Bight.
The peculiar properties of the coffee berry
are perfectly brought out in only one way,
viz., by filtering hot water through finely
ground coffee. The cheapest and best filter
is apiece of unbleached muslin made into a
sack, stretched across the top of the coffee
pot. The water passing through the ground
coffee extracts all the essential oil of the
berry. The result is a delightfully smooth,
rich drink. Boiling instantly destroys the
essential oil and makes the coffee flat and
insipid. A perfection filter coffee pot, that
will not allow boiling, is to 'be seen at 34
Fifth avenue, where the Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Co. will give you a delicious cup of cof
fee made in it. Call and trv it.

SINIAID DENIES IT.
He Says the Gfoto KeSsery WW Net Be
Closed TJb A Rbbot That the Men Will
Be Discharged.
Since the Standard Oil Company has
made the last alleged deal with the Globe
Defining-Company, it is said they intend to
shut down the Globe Oil Works in the
Eighteenth ward. After the supposed deal
had been made nothing more was expected,
and it was thought the works would be con
tinued to refine. Late last week one of the
employes claims notice was given to dis
charge, pay off all the men and close up the
works. If this is done it will throw about
150 men out of employment.
The Globe Oil Works was built entirely
new, and just a year ago the first oil was re
fined. It is one ot the best equipped re
fineries ever built in the Pittsburg district.
The refining capacity is in a line of ten
stills, each holding 600 barrels, from which
nearly 20,000 barrels of oil can be refined
every week. The tanks for storage of crude
and refined oil are over 100,000 barrels, and
in addition to this is a first-class cooper
shop for making machine and ."and barrels.
The rolling stock consists of 370 .rs, mostly
iron tanks. These alone are valued
at $250,000. When this refinery was
started it appeared as though other
refineries might be built, and the old
oil business in the Pittsburg district be re
stored to 10,000 barrels, which was the daily
amount of refined oil shipped from here
dnring the palmv days of oil refining.
All those refineries purchased by the
Standard in this vicinity were razed and
moved to their eastern refining territory.
It now remains to be seen whether the Globe
will also be taken away. A change of some
kind is looked for. As the Globe and
Standard Oil Works No. 1 are together, it
is likely that both may be fitted ont and re
main under the old name, No. 1. At the
old oil works there are a number of stills
and tanks which are very old. Among the
latter, nearly all have been standing since
the works were put up, about 28 years ago.
The Globe Befining Company was just
negotiating to put down a six-inch pipe line
from the oil territory to the sea-board, at a
cost of $3,000,000. It was to have been for
their own use, and to supply independent
refineries. In the last year they paid to
the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company $690,
000 for freight.
Mr. Beighard was found at his office yes
terday by a Dispatch, reporter. When
shown the above, which was obtained from
an employe, he stated it was not true. He
said they were still running at the refinery,
and if they were not it would not concern
the public. In reply to the question whether
or not they were putting down the 6-inch
line to the seaboard he said that was a
secret, and he would not talk about it. He
said the rumors of the Globe Company sell
ing out to the Standard only hurt them, and
did not in any way concern the public.
