3 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY, MARCH 16, 189L CAUSES OF SUICIDE Timely Touched Upon by Eev. J. G. Townsend Yesterdav. WHY MEN TAKE THEIR OWX LIVES. 1 he Effectiveness of an Alibi Dilated Upon in Another Sermon. OTHEE PDLPIT TOPICS OP TESTEEDAI " The Causes of Suicide" was the timely topic selected by Rev. Dr. J. G. Townsend, of the Unitarian Church, yesterday morn ing. During his remarks the dpctor said: "Suicide seems almost to be the fashion. Some, no doubt, take their lives because their minds are unbalanced. But suicide is usually the result of deliberate choice. Men flee to poison, the pistol, or the knife, because they are unwilling to face danger, sorrow, poverty or disgrace Suicide is the result of mental or moral weakness; that is. of cowardice. Men fear to face the conse quences, and leave, in their cowardice, their friends 10 face them. Any one fan be bold enough to flee to pistol or the water, but it takes real courage to lace a living danger with anew purpose, or atone a fault with a real re pentance. "It is eren the fashion to teach the doctrine of suicide, as if one has the moral right to cut the ties of obligation which bind him to his feilons, or lay down the burden lie himself ought to carry. The duty is, rather, to look through the crevico of opportunity out upon the great ocean of good." In his sermon Dr. Townsend spoke on "The Rooms We Live In," saying, among other things: "Where does he livej Ihe thought goes deep. Does he live in the wide and spa cious rooms of the mansion of the soul, or does lie live only in the basement of his nature? For in the soul's house there are many man sions, many rooms not-only the lower rooms of the passions, but the rooms of beauty, affec tion, justice, truth and aspiration. How many keep these beautiful rooms closed, ana live in the basement of gluttony, intemperance and avariceT" EFFECTIVENESS OF AN ALIBI, Iter. E. It. Donchoo'i Last Evening's Ser mon on an Interesting Topic Last evening Rev. E. R. Donehoo, pastor of the Eighth Presbyterian Church, preached from the text: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor ctandeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornlul." Psalm i., L During the sermon the speaker said : When an accused person establishes the fact that he was elsewhere when the crime charged against him was committed he has Droved an alibi. So effect he has this method of deiense proved to be in the past that the temptation to employ it unjustly has led to the baldest perjury. It is a plea that requires to be rigidly examined and the testimony care fully scrutinized. Any flaw in the chain of tes timony is lata! to the establishment of inno cence. Courts are not generallj inclined to look upon such a defense with favor, as it is al waj open to the suspicion or being sustained by false testimony. Notwitnstauding, where the proof is positive ano specific, and the testi irrefragaule, an acquittal should in all justice follow, no matter how strong one's prejudices may have been as to the guilt of the accused party. It Is the advantages of the alibi in tlio Issue in which the soul's highest interests are involved that is now to be considered. You may never be placed in a position wheie an a'.lDi will be the only plea that you can advance In proof of your innocency of an offense against the property or person of another, it does not thereiore follow that i ou will never stand in need of such a line of defense under any cir cumstances. Sooner or later all of us will be obliged to resort to the alibi to make our de fense complete in the dread assize where we must give answer for the deeds done in the body. FOLLY OF A SUCCESSFUL THAU. Borne of the Mistakes of the Prosperous Pointed Out. Rev. S. B. McCormick, ef the Central Pres byterian Church, Anderson street, Allegheny, In bis last night's sermon, treated the subject, The Folly of a Successful Man," In opening, he gave the parable of the man who laid up great riches and was then called to die. He said: "Although be was a good business man, he earned the title of a foolish man, for he con ducted business exclusively for himself. He stored not for distribution. He forcot both his relation to his fellow-man and the claim God had uoon him. He liveaon the assumption that all was bis, and that he had secured it without God's assistance. He forgot all about the poverty, the need and the suffering about bim. The sin was not in growing rich, for we are all expected to do that honorably if we can, but his fault was in failing to recog nize that what came to him was for the use of others beside himself. To all men I would sav, avoid selfishness as you would a snake. No more serious mistake can be made than to be lieve that what we have belonirs Bolelvtous. While suffering and poverty exist in the world every man must be devoted to God and his fellowman."' THE PEAYEH ANALYZED. Itev. Mr. McCorkle Gives the Principles and Conditions of Prevailing Prajer. "Principles aud Conditions of Prevailing Prayer" was the subject of the sermon at the First Corgregational Church. Allegheny, yes terdav morning. Rev. S. N. McCorkle, the pastor, saia: "What are some of the foundation principles of prevailing prayer? First, the disposition to pray is ineradicable. JZyea the infidel, when calamity threatens or comes, is the first to loudly call on God. Every heathen or pagan sacrifice is a prayer. The second foundation principle is revealed in the way God has al lowed Himself to be spoken of and the names hv which He allows Himself to be called. The instances are innumerable which illustrate this truth. Another foundation fact is the 300 definite promises about pravcr and for the pramc ones given in the Word of God. Now, with these foundation principles, like so many flagstones to walk out upon in this in vestigation, wo will sec that the following con ditions have place in every praver that prevails: A sense of want, gratitude, humility, obedi ence. forgiveness of injuries, asking for ap. proved objects, persistence, union with other praying ones, and appropriate effort. WHY JUBGHEHT IS WITHHELD. God Stays the Avenger That the Sinner May Repent. "Delay in the Execution of Sentence No Premium on the Commission of Sin" was the subj.ct of the Rev. J. W. Sproull's sermon at the Central R. P. Church, Sandusky street, Allegheny, yesterday morning. The subject was discussed in a general way. Mr. fcproull opened by saying that the 6ceming discrepan cies between the promises and the providences of Goo have ever been a sort of perplexity to the best or people. He then went on to show the wonderful mercy of God in delaying the hand of the avenger until the criminal had time to repent, and how often that fact is taken by that class to abuse God's mercy bv simply continuing until they are hardened m sin. In his closing thought the speaker brought on the idea of the wonderful confidence of a child of God, who believe- that In the end the wicltea will be punished for their sms and the Rood rewarded. Lutherans Hold Union Services. Union services were held morning and even ing yesterday by Trinity and St. Mark's congre gations of the Lutheran Church at Trinity Church.

A NUMBEE OF HEW WELLS TAPPED DTJE ING THE PAST WEEK Notwithstanding This, There Has Been a Falling Off in Production It Looks as If Trices "Would Not Go Up Higher for Some Time to Come. The drill has revealed no astounding re sults in any section of the 'field for the past week. While this is true in the main, operations at Wildwood and McCurdy have been characterized with interest, and in third pools several important wells have made their advent. Notwithstanding there has been a batch of new ventures completed in the southwest district, there has been a slight decline in the production. The number of dry holes also is a conspicuous feature in the week's work, and in several localities where atleast ordinary producers were looked for, diminu tive w ells and dusters were found. From some potent influence the market has depreciated 2 cents since Jlondaj's quctations, which added to the already gloomy aspect of the situa tion has not particularly inspired the average producer with urignteneu, loity anticipations of a new era of prosperity in the immediate future. Just how long the present state of affairs will prevail cancot be piedicted with any degree of certainty, but a careful and philosophical review of the trade in all its ramifications naturally leads to the presump tion that the market value ol crude will not be appreciated to any great degree for some time to com.'. Producers may as well look the situation squarely in the face, submit to the inevitable and govern themselves accordingly. Taking the average production of wells in the deep territory of Pennsylvania and West Vir ginia, it is a well-digested fact that petroleum cannot be produced with any profit at present prices. Taking the incontrovertible fact as a basis of argument, it seems that this result would produce a tendency and influence to waida curtailment of operations and new de velopments. In other w ords, it means that the individual operator whose bank accouct does not show a largo balance is "not in it," and only the strong companies and corporations win uo a Die to arm ana stem tne tiae. WrmwoOB-The most important feature creveloped in the Wildwood field is the well of J. SI. Gully Queene, on the Kretzer farm. Thisell is located the farthest west of a 45 line and opens up a considerable scope of terri tory which looks like wheat in the mill. It will also act as an impetus to a lot of new work In this immediate locality. The well is located abont 1U0 rods a little north from Evans, Han deville it Co.'s well on the Marks farm, and makes this firm's territory, which a few days ago was considered doubtful, first class. Up to Saturday morning this venture was not show ing good, and the general impression prevailed that it was below the spot where the second pay should be found, ihis. however, was not the case, as the lower pay was tapped Saturday early in the forenoon and started o2 at a35-barrel-an-hour gait, aud at this w ft ting is hold ing up good. The same company's No. 4, Runga, Saturday nigbtuas 12 feet in the sand and flowing 25 barrels an hour. The last report from the Mc Ginnls, August Kile, well was that it had made 72 inches in a 250 tank in 12 hours, or at the rate ol 360 barrels a day. The old Fogal well has been'shotand the production increased from 8 i barrels a day. Barnsdall Gillespie's Kress No. 13 found a secondpav andis reported as doing 60 barrels an hour. On the northeast line of the field W. P. BlacK & Co.'s No. L Mur ray heirs, is producing eight barrels from the flrbtpay and No. 2 is doing 125 barrels a day, while No. 3 is drilling at 1,350 feet. The Smith Farm Oil Company's No. S, Smith farm, has a record of 20 barrels an hour and No. S about eight barrels an hour. They have commenced building Nos. 10 and 11 rigs and made No. 12 location. They are also start ing a well on the Asher farm 1,200 feet north from developments on the Smith. Waterhouse & Co. are down 1,400 feet with "No. 1 WhiteseU The Kennedy Oil Com pany's P. fc W. lot well No. 1 is making 15 barrels an hour, and No. 2, same lot, which should have reached the sand Monday, has been delaj ed by pulling the casing and reaming down; No. 3 is drilling at about 400 feet. Pew & Emerson are down 1,500 feet with their ven ture on the Hardy farm, and 'Schleagle & Co. are in the neighborhood of 200 feet on the Fisher farm. The Forest well, on the 50-acre Smith piece, should find the sand Monday or Tuesday in No. 8. McCuedy The McCurdy pool at present is claiming considerable attention from the trade in general. Three or four wells came in last ween which are all good producers with one exception. Unless an unusual amount of bad luck occurs, there should be completed at least nve or six more w ens tnis weoK. a special late Saturday eight stated that the Lloyd well was doimr 40 barrels an hour, and that the Dougherty was drilling in the sand and making at the rate of 200 barrels a day. Patterson Jones' No. 5, McCurdy. is drilling in the fourth sand. No. 3 in the Gordon sand aud No. 2 in the fourth sand. Saturday they got the tools out of No. 4, while No. 6 will be in the middle of next week and No. 7 is down SOU feet. Their No. 2, Lloyd, is pegging away at 650 feet, and No. 3, Lloyd, has just started drilling. W. P. Black fc Co. have a rig upon the Andrews and another one building on the Kwlng farm. Iho latter location is legarded as important, as it will in a measure demonstrate the value of territory to the north. The old Riddlowcll is still drilling in the sand, but there is little hope of finding better digging. The well will be tubed in a few days. It looks like a 20 or 30 barrel pumper. Not withstanding that five or six new wells have recently been added to the finished list the pro duction has declined over 1.000 barrels. The highest day's production reached was about 4.200 barrels, while at present there are 12 com. pleted'uellsatafair and conservative estimate uiiuiii uub .criu unucia aaaiHjwu lu luu ap. vended table: Barrels.

There is no well in this neck of woods pro ducing this amount of oil, nor was thereover any foundation for a report of th'is kind. The well refenetl to is tnrmc lilfplr Mnnnairf TCn 2, which has been shot, and is producing from 10 to 12 barrels a day, presumably from the Gordon sand. The Rojal Gas Company have a well drilling on the bautei's farm which is down l.!s25 feet. It is lookea upon as an important experimental venture, and is located about three-quarters of a mile east of the E. M. McDonald No. 3. The same company are down about tho same depth with their well on the Robb farm, locat ed a little north o' east from McDonald 3. Bakebsiowx-The Hazelwood Oil Com pany completed a dry hole on the J. A. Reed farm. The well was drilled through the fourth sand, aud is located one-fourth mile west of the well on the Hughes farm. H. McC. Saturday's Oil Markets. The market opened steady yesterday, with sales of aDout 30,000 barrels at 74c This was the highest. It then broke to 74c on Pittsburg and Oil City selling, and finished offered at that figure. Sales for the week were about 100,000 barrels. The close yesterday was 2Jc below Monday's opening. The decline was tne result of Stan dard pressure. The highest for the week was GJc and the lowest 7ZJc. All the strength the market had was imparted by the room traders. Refined was marked off during the week at New York and London, but was unchanged at oth.T points. There was a good increase in runs, charters and shipments. McGrew.
