SECOND PART.
ft PULLMAN NEAR BY,
The Car Company's Experiment
Successfully Repeated In
Pennsylvania,
NOT FAR FROM PITTSBURG.
One Plate Glass Company Owns Every
Structure in the Town,
INCLUDING PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Religious and Moral Welfare of the
Population Cared For.
THD LIVING IS WONDERFULLY CHEAP
One of the most interesting communities
in Western Pennsylvania is Ford City. A
town that is built, owned and exclusively
controlled by a manufacturing corporation
can scarcely be said to be a social experi
ment, lor there are now several such places"
in the United States. But at this time
1'ord City may be considered a social curi
osity. It is passing through the first stage ol
evolution. After a career of little more than
two years, it has reached a point where its
society has begun to develop; where results
are commencing to come from the far-sighted
policy of capitalistic economists; where the
workings of corporation government in a
monopolistic town may be observed.
A Pittsburg lady, recently visiting a
relative at Kord City, happened to mention
that in her garret at home she had two cast
off overcoats for men, which she would send
to him, and that he could give them to per
sons whom he thought would need them for
the present cold weather. The young man
replied:
"There is nobody here who is need of any
thing like that."
IVhat Called Tho Di-patcli's Attention.
It was this remark that led a staff corre
spondent of The DisrATCii to spend a day
at Ford City within the past week. The
town is in Armstrong county, 40 miles from
Pittsburg and i miles below Kiitanningr. It
has a population of perhaps 2,500 souls, and
the entire place is owned by the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company, whose extensive
works are located there. The houses for the
people are all of the best class, both brick
and Irame, and are far superior to the tene
ments usually found in company towns. The
company owns every one ot these many hun
dreds of dwellings. They will not sell a
yinglc one, but all are rented on the most
reasonable terms from to to $20 per month.
Tne company owns all the public build
ings, including the hotel, stores, halls and
postofhee. Included in these are reading
room, gymnasium and offices for the use of
the public
Tne first item of news the reporter en
countered was the lacs that a great revival
of religion is going on in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Thus far 75 persons
have been converted. Itev. Mr. Hall is the
pastor of this Hock.
Tlie Company's TZeUsioas TVork.
He is much liked, and seems to have
great influence with the people. Every
night for several weeks past the church has
been crowded to overflowing, and the inter
est in the meetings continues unabated. In
all of this the plate glass company has had
a part. The church is a beautiful brick
building. In all Pennsylvania outside of
the large cities,, a more complete sanctuary
cannot be found. The windows are of an
nrtistic design in stained glass, the scats are
in amphitheater form, the chandeliers are
massive and specially adapted fur natural
gas, and the whole is finished in expensive
style. This church was built and entirely
paid for by Mrs. Captain Ford, wife of the
lounder ot the Pittsburg Plate Glass Works.
Adjoining it a parsonage for the preacher
was built and paid for by her son, Mr. Ed
ward Ford, president of the company. These
two buildings were then given by Mrs. Ford
and her son to the Pittsburg Conference of
the M. E. Church, wholly free of debt or
conditions. The dedication of the church
occurred only last summer. The organiza
tion of the congregation has been with the
people themselves.
Why the Corporation is Benefited.
The company is now done with the prop
crtv, and to all intents and purposes pays no
more attention to it. Bntwhat has been the
result thus far of their liberality? Well,
eveiy member oi that church is a workman
in the classworks, for nobody 'lives in the
town except plate-glass workmen. Every
one of the 75 persons converted in the pres
ent revival is either a workman in the fac
tory or a membei of a "workman's family.
Uobody will deny that as a consequence of
the conversions the people directly inter
ested will become better workmen more
conscientious and that is a term ol which
employers thoroughly understand the value
of.
There is also a Catholic church in the
town. The company presented the ground,
on which the priests erected a modest build
ing. Their congregation is small, but the
priest is also doing good in his way, and
better workmen nre the result.
The policy of Armstrong county judges a
few years ago in re using to srrant liquor
licenses was one of the chief things that de
cided the venerable Captain Ford to pur
chase two farms from Messrs. Graff and
Montgomery, below Kittanning, and build
the town which this article is describing.
Temperance a Controlling Tactor.
He argued that the company would have
lets trouble with their workmen in a place
where liquor could not be had. He bslieved
they would do better work, and use their
own salaries to better advantage where
there was not the temptation to loaf in
saloons.
In the course of time, as the society in
Ford City developed, means were invented
by some of the people to get their stimu
lants. Peer clubs were organized, and for
a time they smuggled ir.o the town all the
liquor they wanted. The plate glass com
pany declared war on these clubs, and by
refusing to rent them buildings gradually
reduced their membership. Three months
ago President Edward Ford gave notice to
the last remaining beer club that unless
they disbanded within three days the build
ing they occupied would be torn down over
their beads. They disbanded, and now
there is no liquor'at all in Ford City. In
the Opera House Bowling Alley and Gym
nasium there is no poolroom or bar.
The company donated the school house
also to the township on condition that school
should be taught there nine and ten months,
instead ol six mouths, as usual in the coun
try. living is Very Cheap There
The reading room is fairly well patron
ized, and altogether the spiritual and educa
tional demands of society have not been neg
lected by a great corporation, as they so
often are. The people of Ford City live
well. That fact very forcibly impressed the
writer. The best ot meat sells at from 5 to
10 cents per posnd, and it is said that be
fore the company would rent the butcher a
store room they made him agree to sell meat
at prices no higher, but somewhat lower
tban prices at Kitlanuiug. Uearly all the
workmen have meat two and three times a
day. Produce, groceries and clothing sell
equally cheap. The general store is oper
ated by individual capital, though the mer
chants, of course, rent the large store build
ing from the company. Accounts are all
paid to this store by the workmen, them
selves ont of their money. The company
know; nothing about the account of a work
man at this store, but pays him his wages
independent of that. In this respect it is
different from the- obnoxious "company
store" system of mining and other manu
facturing towns.
One Thing is Xet Lucking.
There is only one thing that Ford City is
cot yet possessed of. That is a cemetery.
Thus far there has been no need of one. The
people are remarkably healthy. Among the
residents there is absolutely no contagiousdis
ease, and the two physicians have very little,
to do. As a great many of the workmen. who
live here are foreigners, with large families
and continental ways of living, this fact im
pressed the writer as wonderful. Inquiry
tailed to show a single serious sanitary fault
in the whole history of the town. One
woman had a theory that the phenomenal
health of the community was due in part to
the large amount of copperas used in the
manufacture and finish of plate glass. This
may or may not be the case, but certainly
the public health is also benefited by the
warm, roomy and substantial houses pro
vided for the people, and also by the plenty
fulness of food as a result of cheap prices.
At any rate, the company has not as yethad
occasion to add a graveyard to their unique
city on the shore of the Allegheny.
ROUTE DECIDED UPON.
The Canal Commission Holding Qolet
Meetings in Capt. John A. Wood's Office
Preliminary Report Made to the Gov
ernorPreparing the Final Report.
On the dead quiet, the Ship Canal Com
missioners are holding sessions these days at
Capt John A. Wood's office, Wood and
Water streets. The preliminary report has
been made to the Governor, and the Com
mission is now at work on the final one to
be made to the Legislature. The length of
the session is at present indefinite, though
an adjournment will likely be taken lor
Christmas. The Commission has been at
work over 13 months, and has held more
than that many regular meetings, beside
some special ones.
All proposed routes have been carefully
considered and the one recommended will
be that of the Beaver and Shenango Valley.
Mr. Goodwin states that reasons therefor are
convincing. It is the intention of the com
missioner to have its report published in
pamphlet form and a copy laid on the desk
of each legislator when the Legislature con
venes, so that all wili have an opportunity
to examine it carefully. It is thought it
will receive more attention than if simply
read by the clerk.
In this connection Mr. Campbell Kimber
lana suggests that the digging of this canal
might furnish profitable employment for
criminals whose faculties are now miting in
enforced idleness and they could feel that
they were performing a great and useful
work and could "point with pride" at the
work to their children. They would thus
with" profit to all take the places of the Huns
and Italians who will undoubtedly do the
work it it be let to contractors in the
ordinary way, for it is asserted as a no
torious 'fact that a supply of American
laborers cannot be had in 3ny other way
than by taking them out of penal institu
tions. DIPHTHERIA SLOWLY DISAPPEARING.

A DISPATCHER'S BAD BLUNDER.
lie is Suspended for a Lap Order, Almost
Causing a Wreck.
Chicago, Dec 23. There was a threat
ened strike of train dispatchers on the
Chicago ana Erie Kailroad yesterday, on
account of the suspension of Train Dis
patcher C C. Hunt, of Huntington, Ind.
When the fact became known, the other
dispatchers demanded his reinstatement.
General Superintendent Merrill explained
to them that the suspension was lor good
cause, sad-Tiider circumstances which
generally' result in absolute dismissal.
Scott had issued what js known as a "lap"
order; that is, providing for two trains on
the same track at the same time from which
a collision might have resulted, had not the
man who followed bim on duty rectified tne
order. The men recognized the justice of
the action taken, and the threatened trouble
was averted.
BANK EMBEZZLERS SENTENCED.
They Got Away With Nearly $40,000 of an
Institution's Funds.
PHILADELPHlA.Dec. 23. Ellis G. Bard,
who pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly
$40,000 from the Union National Bank, of
Lincoln, Pa., and Franklin W. Hull, who
was convicted of aiding and abetting him in
the embezzlmenf, were to-day sentenced by
Judee Butler in the United States District
Court to five years' imprisonment each in
the Eastern penitentiary.
Bard was cashier of the bank and Hull
was one of its depositors. Bard allowed
Hull to overdraw his account to the amount
of almost 540,000. When the defalcation
could no longer be concealed, Bard made a
couiession to tbe bank's directors. He was
arrested and pleaded guilty. It was mainly
upon his evidence that Hull was convicted.
Funeral of Engineer Kennedy.
The funeral of the late Joseph Kennedy,
of the Pennsylvania Kailroad, at Wilkins
burg yesterday was largely attended by his
former associatesand friends. Floral offer
ings from employes and officials of the road,
and the Odd Fellows' lodge of which he
was a member, were exceedingly profuse.
In deference to Mrs. Kennedy's wishes, only
cut flowers were sent, The remains were in
terred in Homewood Cemetery.
THE PITTSBURG DIS
C0UET HOUSE THIEF.
District Attorney Johnston Kobbed of
Overcoat and Bat. .
A TRIP IN BORROWED GARMENTS.
Glass Men Indicted for Employing Chil
dren in Their Works.
SCEAPS OF NEWS FE0M THE COURTS
While District Attorney Johnston was in
Criminal Court yesterday morning sending
old acquaintances to the workhouse someone
entered his office and helped himself to the
best to be had.
Mr. Johusto'n is known to be a good
dresser, and for the past week he has been
wearing an overcoat and seal cap that made
him the envy of many people. This over
coat and cap Mr. Johnston placed in his
office while he was at work trying cases in
the Criminal Court. Shortly before noon
yesterday some miscreant entered the Dis
trict Attorney's office and purloined the
aforesaid coat and cap. When Mr. John
ston decided that his ' appetite craved
dinner he discovered the robbery,
and a vigilant search was made, but
neither the thief nor the garments could
be'found. The tipstaves of Criminal Court,
under the marshalship of Tom Pender,
started out on the trail, bnt returned at 4:30
empty handed. The result of this was thai
Mr. Johnston missed his dinner and had to
go home in an overcoat and hat borrowed
from Charley Fagan.
It is safe to say that if the thief is ever ap
prehended Attorney Johnston will not be
found on the defendant's side of the table.

PITTSBURG-, WEDNESDAY,
HIS CROP OF SNAKES.
A Genuine Reptile Farm In the Southwest,
Well Cultivated.
Day before yesterday I met a man who is
probably the only bona-fide snake charmer
in America, says a writer in the New York
Star. He has been in town seeing about
placing his fall snake crop. It seems very
odd to hear him talk of "my crop of snakes,"
but he means every word of it, for he has a
genuine snake farm in the Southwest
The farm proper consists of a pen some
25 feet in diameter. In the center of this
peu is a raised platform, accessible in safety
from the outside, on which visitors can
promenade out of reach of the deadly fangs.
In the woods and wild' swamps surrounding
the place legions of moccasins, cotton
mouths, rattlesnakes and copperheads are
found. These wilds arc the seed bins from
which at times Mr. Childs draws to replen
ish his farm. At one side of the inclosure
is a rabbit warren in which live some 50 or
60 bunnies. Tfieir number, however, is
constantly changing. They never die of old
age. They are the lood of the snakes.
Between S00 and 600 reptiles are in the
farm at present, and most of them are in
tended for this fall's slaughter. Only the
larger ones are used, as they yield a greater
amount of oil, skin and rattles than the.
small ones. Mr. Childs expects to harvest
800 ounces of oil this season, and has made
his price $2 per ounce. Aside from the oil,
he will have a handsome crop of rattles and
tanned skins.
When an ounce or so of fresh oil is de
sired, Mr. Childs enters the pen and either
whistles with his lips or uses a flute. The
snakes at once glide out of their holes and
gather round him, making a peculiar purr
ing sound with their rattles to denote their
pleasure. Selecting the largest and fattest,
Childs picks it up and cuts its head off with
his pocket-knife.
MEASURE FOR A HOUSEWIFE.
A Matron Can Bead a Woman's Character
in Her Hearth.
Dorothy in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A certain wise old lady said to the writer
recently: "I always judge -a woman by the
hearth she keeps. Show me tbe fire she sits
by, and I'll tell you her character." She
was right, as you will know if you think a
minute. From time immemorial the cheery
hearth has been a symbol of home and its
comforts, but when it is disorderly, unswept
or choked with ashes, it ceases to be a joy or
a luxury.
The room may be poor, and the fire a tiny
one, hut if the dog-irons are bright and
erect, the poker, tongs and shovel marshaled
side by side in military order, the hearth
swept clean, the bricks as red as scrubbing
brush can make them, and the fire blazing
cheerily, the scantiness of the furniture will
not matter and home will seem the dearest
thing on earth. By the way, will anything
ever take the place of the old open fire
place? Beside it the fnrnace in the cellar
is an abomination, and the grate is a new
fangled make-believe.

THE NET CONGRESS.
A Queer Admixture of Character in
the New House.
MANY SDRPEISES IN STORE.
Members Prom tho Wayback Districts,
Who Will be Notable
BY EEAS0N OP THEIR ECCENTRICITIES
Washington, Dec. 23. The next House
will have among its members some whose
presence will'aSd a pieturesqueness to the
assemblage. A considerable number of the
new members who will represent districts
heretofore strongly Republican are men who
.were nominated without any idea that they
would be elected, and whose election was as
great a surprise to themselves ss to anybody
else. In some cases very different men
would have been nominated if there had
been any apparent chance of election. A
number of prominent Democrats, who de
clined nominations, now deeply regret the
fact. A few of the new members from the
West are men whose education extends
scarcely beyond an ability to read and
write.
A Democratic member of the House, who
is a prominent campaigner, was telling the
other day of some of his experiences on the
stump in the West. "I was to speak in the
town hall at Blank," he said. "A large as
semblage filled the hall. The leading Dem
ocrats of the place occupied seats on the plat
form. There was a committee of leading
citizens, bankers, merchants, members of
the board of trade, and the like, to receive
and introduce the speakers.
A VERY MODEST CANDIDATE.
"I made a speech of about an hour.calling
upon the Democrats in particular, and alt
good citizens in general, to vote the Demo
cratic ticket and send the Republican who
was misrepresenting them into retirement.
While I talked there was a man in the gal
lery upon whom my eyes rested, probably
because be leaned forward and listened with
particular interest. There was nothing
about him personally to attract attention,
and his place was among the less important
element of the meeting who were crowded
promiscuously in the gallery.
"After ths meeting was over I walked out
of the hall with one of the committeemen,
and as we got to the door we ran into some
one. My companion turned, and, seeing
tvuu jb wu&, buiu iu uu inuiuereui, nmt-apoi-ogetic
sort of way: 'On, this is Mr. Jones,
our candidate,' and then, without stopping
to exchange even a passing remark, led me
on our way, while the candidate lost him
self in thecrowd without attempting to cul
tivate my acquaintance. I merely had time
to observe that he was the very modest, but
deeply interested individual, who had sat in
the gallery."
THET ARE STRANGE STATESMEN.
Not one of the three new men from Ne
braska is personally known to either the
Senators or the Representatives now holding
seats in Congress trom that State. Evan,
the Democrat, from the First district, "is a
bright young lawyer, who, while he has not
yet gained any prominence at the bar and
bas not been long in the State, is a college
bred man. and has the gilt of eloquence.
McKeighan is the man who has been re
ferred to as a ne'er-do-well, who immigrated
to Nebraska from Illinois.
Kern, who beat Mr. Dorsey, the rich and
brilliantj-oungbanker who cow represents
that district,' olnimed the votes of his'fellow
citizens as a Farmers' Alliance candidate,
upon the ground that he had been a farmer
in the district for ten years; that he had
never made more than $500 in any year dur
ing that time; that he was the father of six
motherless children, and that he had a
mortgage of $1,500 on his farm. In his
speeches to his admiring constituents he
advocated the confiscation of all railroads
and their operation by tbe Government for
the benefit of the farmers; the hanging of
all bankers who charged farmers more tban
6 per cent interest on loans, and the destruc
tion of grain elevators whose owners charged
farmers more than a cent a bushel for the
storage of wheat.
Ignorant, forlorn and without money, he
came out of a sod-covered hut and got the
votes of his fellow citizens, and will repre
sent tbemin the next House.
THE SUCCESSOR OF CANNON,
The man who succeeds "Joe"'Cannon is a
wealthy man now engaged in the brokerage
busiuess, but he is said to possess some pe
culiar characteristics which will make him
a suitable successor to the tame of Martin,
of Texas. He has seen more of society than
has Mr. Martin. He has been a soldier and
bears the title of Colonel. Just at the close
of the war he captured a fort down in Flor
ida, whicb, it is said, had already been de
serted by its delenders.
During his campaigo some of the news
papers advocating his election published
great two-page cuts depicting the capture of
the fort, in which is represented one man
on the earth works, far in advance ot the
rest, with a revolver in one baud and a
sword iu the other, casting defiance and de
struction into the ranks of a fleeing foe. In
big white letters across the hero's back is
written the name "Busey." Mr. Busey has
but one eye and can see very imperfectly out
of the other. One of his peculiarities is'said
to be a fear of being abroad in the dark. It
is said that he is never known to go out of
his house after night-fall.
THE LEADER OF THE ALLIANCE,
The leader of the Alliance in the next
House, and probably in succeeding Houses
if the Alliance membership increases, will
be Livingston, of Georgia. He is a tall,
rawboned old farmer with a keen eye and a
glib tongue. He is fairly well educated,
and is very bright and shrewd. He has un
bounded confidence in his own ability. He
thinks that with but a small chance he ctn
devise legislation which will cure all the ills
the farmer complains of.
He believes that he possesses those statesman-like
qualities which will enable him
to assist in bringing about an economic mil
lennium. He is a mau of very positive con
victions and has a fund ol information con
firmatory of these convictions.
A GENTLEMAN IN TRUTH.
Ono New Yorker Does Not Forget That a
Negress is a Woman.
Every seat in the bridge car was oc
cupied, when'a negress got aboard the train,
says the New York Hera Id. Her arms were
fnll of bundles, and she appeared to be
weary. As she tried to clutch a strap she
dropped a package, and in stooping to pick
it up stumbled. She would have fallen,
too, had not a gentleman sprang to her aid.
With an outstretched arm he helped her
to regain her balance, secured the stray
bundle and then led ber to the seat he had
just vacated. "
"Take this seat madam, it you please,"
he said.
For a moment the negress hesitated, and
then sat down, after incoherently murmur
ing her thanks.
The episode created a sensation among
the passengers, ail of whom were men.
As the unknown gentleman was leaving
the car a friend was overheard to ask him:
"George, you are getting nearsighted?"
"No; why do you ask such a question?"
"Why? "Because you gave up your seat
to that negress. I think you are over
straining yourself in trying to be oolite."
"Not at all, my dear fellow. I gave up
my seat to her simply because she was'a
woman. I should have despised myself tor
remaining in my seat because she was
blaek."
A LTFE-SAVXNG SKIRT.
TJio Device of a Traveling Lady to Save
Herself From Drowning.
"While my wife and I were on our last
trip to Europe," said a gentleman to a De
troit iTetcs man the other day, "we met a
middle-aged lady who was going over for her
health, and my wife and she became great
friends. One day, while sitting in the
ladies' private cabin, the lady said: 'Let
me show you my life preserver,' and re
moving her outer skirl my wife beheld a
skirt that was a curiosity if nothing more.
Running up and down the skirt, at a dis
tance of two or three inches, were soft, flexi
ble rubber bands about two inches wide.
They were sewed on at the side of each hand
and ran all the way around the skirt, and
at the top they were all joined to a broad
rubber band six inches wide. At the top of
this band was a rubber tube about two feet
long and which ran up the waist in front
and was left resting on the top of the cor
set. "Said the lady, 'You behold one of my
own inventions lor saving my life. In case
of au accident all I have to do is to take the
end of the rubber tube in my mouth and in
two minutes I can fill all the rubber bands,
which are hollow and air-tight, with air.
Then tying the tube in a hard knot, I am
ready for the waves. This skirt, when I
strik'e the water, will spread out intheshape
of a pond lily leaf, and I will rest on it in
an upright position, as easy as though re
clining on a couch, and I can float around
till picked up.'
"As our voyage was a pleasant one, we
did not have an opportunity to see how it
would work, but! have no doubt it would
work well."
ALL FIRECRACKERS HADE IN CHINA
Attempts to Make Their Manufacture Profit
able Elsewhere Fail.
'Firecrackers are not made at all in this
country. They are all imported, and come
principally from China. About two years
ago, said a dealer to a New York Trtoune
reporter, several manufacturers of fireworks
here introduced the making of giant fire
crackers, but the industry bas not increased
to any extent. No one in recent years has
ever attempted to make the small fire
cracker. The reason for this state of things is a
financial one. There is no secret about the
making of firecrackers, and we are just as
well able to do it as anybody; but Chinese
labor is so cheap that it does not pay to
manufacture them in this country. The
duty upon them is 8 cents a pound, which
amounts to something over 100 per cent ad
valorem; but the tariff would have to be
considerably increased before it would pay
to manufacture them in this country.
GOULD AND HIS LAWYEBS.
Ho Doesn't Use Them as a Preventative bnt
as a Cure.
One of Mr. Gould's attorneys went to him
not long ago to explain that some act of him
self and his Missouri Pacific Board was ille
gal and had got the company into trouble.
"Mr. Gould," said he, "it seems to me
you should have consulted your legal ad
visers before doing this". Any lawyer would
have told you that it was illegal."
Mr. Gould hung his bead a minute
and then raised it and said: "Yes," I know
you would have advised against it, and
that's the reason I didn't consult you. But
the thing is done, and it can't be undone;
and now it's for you lawyers to get us out of
the scrape the best way you can. That's
what we keep lawyers for." I
Diphtheria and Tetanus.
- A course of experiments in-the Hygienic
Institute at Berlin has demonstrated that
animals suffering from either diphtheria or
tetanus can he cured by the Inoculation of
the serum from the blood of animals already
infected. It is claimed, first, that the blood
of rabbits protected from tetanus possesses
the property of destroying the tetanus
poison; second, that this property it pos
sesses by the non-cellular serum obtained
from the blood; third, that this property is
tf so constant a nature that it also remains
active in the organism of other animals, so
that notable therapeutic effects are produced
by the transfusion of blood or serum, and
fourth, that the property of destroying the
tetanus virus is absent in the blood of those
animals which are not protected against
tetanus.

SPECULATION IiT OIL
Not What It Used to be, Says a Man
Who Has Been in It Qaite Often.
J. K. M'KEE A LUMBER MERCHANT.
He Got Tired of Tatinff Chances of Bavin?
His Scalp Raised
AND WILL TEAYEL THE SDEEE E0AD
John B. McKee, who for years was a con
spicuous figure on the floor ot tbe Oil Ex
change in this city, has just returned from
New York after quite an extended stay in
the metropolis.
During his sojourn there he took several
sidelong glances at the oil market, but he
found nothing in it of a very seductive
character, although he says the city did not
owe him a penny when he left it.
A number of New Yorkers tried to in
duce him to take a "fly" in the product, but
he steadily refused to indulge in any
flights, andfrom this time on he will devote
his attention to the lumber business in
Pittsburg, and let the oil market take care
of itself. The chances, he says, of making
big money quickly in the latter commodity
may be better, but his last experience of any
consequence on tbe floor put some ideas in
his head, which he has carried around with
him since.
CONCLUSIONS OP ONI. EXPERIENCE.
This was about two years ago, when he
was the heaviest dealer in Pittsburg. He
owned a controlling interest in the stock of
tbe Exchange, and came up smiling each
morning, fully $250,000 strong. His con
clusions on the subject may be of interest to
gentlemen who think the only path to for
tune over which the footing is at all sure,
runs thruugh the bull ring, or the retreats
surrounding it.
Mr. McKee was relating the story last
night, and it runs as follows: "I had been
sailing along for some time with my share of
good fortune, but there came a day that
changed my ideas of oil speculations. It
was just two minutes to 11 o'clock one fore
noon, and I was bidding one cent above the
quotations in New York and Oil City, but
did not get much at that. I felt it in my
bones that something was going to happen
and it did. Thenext time I got a look at
the clock it was just eight minutes after 11
o'clock, and the market had jumped from .
81 cents to 51 02. The first bound it
crossed the 90 line, and I did not know
whether I would be left with a pair of shoes
on to walk out with or not Fortunately,
however, it slumped back to 90 again, and I
breathed easier, though the experience cost
me some money, more, probably, than any
other man on the floor.
AM. PRECEDENTS BEATEN.
"Well, sir, I sat down after the hurrah
was past and thought the matter over, and
I concluded that old man Standard had
been reaching for my back hair. Certainly,
the doings of that brief period knocked out
"all precedents of the Pittsburg Exchange so
far as my knowledge went, and I could not
figure out a good reason for it, unless the
moguls were trying to make a target of me,
as had been done manya time in the history
of the bmsines3 with others, so I just quietly
dropped nut, and since then I have left the
other boys to try and solve the problem.
There is not much left in the business now,
at all events in these parts, and there is no
, use for a man worrying his soul out for a dol;
Iar. The palmy days are of the past, and sd
I will try my fortunes in another direction."
