MG IXCEEASE TO THE POPULATION 'V t "Within the past two or three years Pitts 'Jithxug has been gradually forging ahead as f4ti wkttfa nFthn Ail fielrQ it- TOVxPITI Tnn- 'svlvania. The nrodacers. the oil companies and the drillers have come to look upon this city as headquarters, and when an oil man cannot be found on Fourth avenue he is ""supposed f 'cursion. to be away on a pleasure ex- In the early days Pithole with its saloons, s concert halls, its wealth, adventurers. land all the rices of ancient Babylon, was 'ma,' ' the oandle around which all the petroleum moths first gathered, and since that time the ' .oil centers have been changing every few years. Very few of the men who partici 'v pated in the first excitement can now be found in the Tan of the vast army of people who are seeking wealth by means of the " drill or in speculation. The crude at that time was transported in barrels by wagons from the wells to the railroads or to the Al legheny river, down which they were floated upon immense rafts. It was then . worth $8 and $9 a barrel, and , ' .thousands made tortunes within a few months following the day when Colonel 'Drake brought the first petroleum to her surface with his primitive drill. Thousands also lost the wealth which they had thus suddenly accumulated, and to-day men can ,. be seen on the streets of Pittsburg who were V. then worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. y A MOVING METROPOLIS. CAs the oil territorv was gradually devel oped, the metropolis of the oil country, like ,tKe magnetic north pole, moved gradually ifafrom place to place. From Pithole it armed to refoieum center, uii uitj, ana thence to Butler, Greece City, and subse quently to half a dozen mushroom towns which sprang up in a night, and vanished with the first rays of the morning sun. In 1874 the Bradford field was opened up. and, from a quiet village known to the raft men and lumbermen as Littleton, it sud denly developed into a city of 15,000 inhab itants. The territory around it held out longer than any, of the other fields, and Bradford became a solid and substantial' city, instead of disappearing as the others had done. Sichburg and Allentown, K. X., and then Garfield and Farnsworth claimed the attention of the oil world in the order named. When the bottom fell out of Cherry Grove, which, by the way, was lo cated in the midst of a hemlock forest miles 'away from the nearest railroad station, pipe lines were laid, and railroads to the - new oilyopolis were being surveyed. J ' THE BOTTOM DBOFPED. 5 The forest for three months teemed with it humanity. When the bottom dropped the jjr nnterrified driller sought new fields and it y was not long before the "Washington field "5 was heralded as the land of oil. There was t an exodus from the upper fields which was J Washington's gain, and it was not long be fore every oil company, operator, or oil well . snpply firm of any prominence was not rep resented in the new territory. From Washington they have branched out, and the West Virginia, Ehannopin, t, Hookstown and Allegheny county develop- ments have been the result. TheMaksburg pool was anxiously watched by operators, who hoped that its staying qualities, and - area would place it on an equal with the other first-class fields, but the men who had . invested their capital in the new territory "folded their tents like the Arabs and as -silently stole away." TVith the development of the new fields ; "above, below, and indeed, all around Pitts- burg, this city gradually became the center of the oil fields, and to-day it is safe to assert that there arealmostas many people in Pitts burg who are interested in the oil business nas'in any 'city of what is known as the oil country, COMING TO PITTSBUBG. f Operators have opened their offices here, oil companies have made this their head quarters, and machine shops and supply companies which have followed the oil fields have established themselves in Pitts burg. C. W. Pratt, of the firm of Bayne, Wilson J& Pratt, when speaking yesterday, of the influx of oil men said: "It is astonishing - to see the way this city is filling up with people who are interested in the oil busi ness, one way or another. There are thou sands of them here, and Pittsburg people do not realize the amount of capital which has betn brought here within the last two or three years. Why Fourth ave nue is gradually being given up to them. With a few exceptions all the offices on Fourth avenue, between Smithfield and , Wood streets, are now occupied by oil men. I know, personally, hundreds of men who have come to Pittsburg from the oil conntrv within the last year, and each of them has a C family which will add to the population of the city. Pittsburg is the real cen ter of oildom. From it men who - are interested in the upper or lower fields can take a train from this city to their '-wells almost any hour in the day and be Vhome for supper. It is so convenient here -ftbat men who havebeen living inTitusville, Oil City or Bradford, find that thev can save money and be more at home if they are interested in the lower country by living in -,Pittburg. All of these men are interested in Pittsburg's welfare." TflE SUPERINTENDENT MUST ANSWER.

A BEEEZr PRESBITERr. Tlio BIonoDsabela U. P. Brethren Enjoy a Lively Session Rev. McCrory nnd Dr. Knox Clash on the Tobacco Question. A lively passage occurred yesterday at the meeting of the MonongahelaXT. P. Presi bytery in a Mt. Washington church over the resignation of Rev. James A. Lawrence, pastor of the lit Gilead and Coraopolis chnrches. He said that he desired to resign because of "a poor Salarv.irregularly paid," whereupon Delegate Irons, of Coraopolis, came to the front with a statement that Dr. Lawrence did not visit enough, and that the preacher passed by the door when there was sickness inside. Women were members of the church, but their husbands were not? nor was any effort made to bring them in. It was developed that the church meeting at which it was voted 18 against and 15 for accepting the pastor's resignation, was held on Sunday, an illegal proceeding according to usage. After some cross-firing abont the propriety of holding church meetings on Sunday, it was agreed that the book of rules did not prohibit such meetings, and the resignation was accepted. . Dr. Eeid then read the Home Mission Com mittee report, showing that the Presbytery quota was 17,150, while only 9,159 86 had been raised. In explanation of the deficit, Kev. Mr. Knox said: "Some members of a Wylie avenue church have averred that the committee misused the money, taking so much in presents and commissions that verv little of it reached the objects for which it was given." After this pleasant little bombshell the Presbytery adjourned for dinner. A pe tition from 42 persons living near Ben Venue was presented asking for a church. At the afternoon session the courtesies of the Presbytery were extended to Bev. George B. Murray, of Nebraska. The Thirty-third Street XT. P. Church was reported organized and a collection was ordered to be taken up in all the churches in its aid. Rev. Dr. Boyd introduced a resolution looking toward a rigid examination ot would-be church members; really a resolution in favor of the book of discipline. He reported it in a strong speech. Opposition was manifested immediately, Bev. J. T. McCrory saying that he did not want to advertise to the world that the IT. P. Church was loose in that respect, or that insinuations could lie against the sessions. The resolution was badly defeated. An amendment to the book of discipline was offered as follows: "No student ad dicted to the nse of tobacco in any form shall be admitted to a license to preach. No one shall be eligible to the office of ruling elder who is addicted to the use of tobacco in any form." A vote was taken, accompanied by oral reasons for voting against it The opinions of many were that the amendment had no place in the book of discipline; also that they could not conscientiously vote that the student should not use tobacco while the older clergymen and others were allowed to use it Rev. J. T. McCrory thought the church should take up the question of tobacco inas much as States were stopping the sale of cigarettes. He thought there were old men who would make excellent elders who had used tobacco all their lives, and who could not at this date break the habit, their sys tems not allowing them to live without Dr. Knox rose to a point of order, and Rev. Mr. McCrory retorted that he would include some ministers who could not be kept alive without tobacco. Dr. Knox again called for a point of order, but the Moderator refused to concede it Dr. Knox then remarked that Mr. Mc Crory should keep within the bounds of decency. The vote resulted in 22 to 8 on the resolution. It was stated that C. B. Bossell, who was taken under care of the Presbytery two years since as a student, was now in charge of a Lutheran church at Benwood, W. Va., and Dt. Knox said that action had been hasty, as the young man was nothing but a tramp. Rev. Mr. McCrory took exceptions to the characterization, and insisted that Bossell should not be spoken of in such an unkind manner. Dr. Knox repeated his assertion, and added to it that Bossell was not only a tramp, butin certain respects an imbecile, and said that there were rumors afloat that his conduct was anything but that of a student for the ministry. The voung man's name was dropped from the roll. BECEIYED THEIE COMMISSIONS. The Documents From Governor Beaver Ee ceived by the Humane Society. , The Humane Society directors held their regular weekly meeting yesterday after noon.
