8 TBE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, MONDAY JULY 6, 'mi h THE LAMP OIL TRADE. An Interesting Review of the Eise of the Petroleum Industry. JIRERAL OILS USED LONG AGO. A Glance at America's Output and Russia's Eicli fields. ETGLISII WANT XEW l'ETROLEIDI LAWS The introduction by the Home Secretary of abill entitled: "The Inflammable Liquids Bill," dealing with the storage, transit and tale of lamp oils, has brought into promi nence the extraordinary development of the trade in petroleum, paraffine, naphtha and other hydrocarbons, says a writer in Chambers' Journal. "When 3Ir. Gladstone, in the course of his last visit to Midlothian, inspected the works of the Pumpherson Oil Company, near Uphall, and was shown the method of extracting pure white oil from liinty rock, and of utilizing by-products formerly considered waste and un profitable, he said that in the po litical world it was common to speak of revolutionary movements, but that when lie learned what was being done in indus trial centers, he felt the phrase would be much more apposite if applied to the changes continually going on in trade and commerce. The remark is a true one. The growth of national movement"!, which some times culminate in revolutions and the fall of dynasties, undoubtedly attracts more at tention than the discovery of a natural law, or the application to the service of humanity of substances of which the great round world is composed; but in the long run,it is by those who "soorn delichts and live laborious days" that the most lasting benefits are achieved. It is not necessary to depreciate the labors of others when we claim the laurel wreath for those who in solitary places, or amid the din of industrial life, have worked out great prob lems, or devised means for increasing the common weal, and hail them as heroes and benefactors. Caxton, Stevenson, Arkwright and others are the real revolutionaries; and the works they planned have done more to affect the lives of the people than all the acts of statesmen from JIagna Charta to the present day. rctrtileum an Ancient Product. AVe speak of mineral oil as if it wer a new discovery. This is only partially-accurate. It is certain that its "properties were known in the days of Miltiades (493 H. C); and it is conjectured that it was largely used in times much more remote. In Persia it was employed in the temples cf the fire worshipers and the palaces of the wealth-. Large quantities were sent to distant countries, and an export tax imposed, from which the Government derived a con- uderable revenue. The legend of the which came down from heaven and lit the altars of the Zoroastriaus probably had its onein in the discovery of a naphtha spring. But it is only during the last 40 years that the development of the trade in petro leum or rock oil has taken place. In 1847 the late Dr. Young (Paraffine Young he was familiarly calhd) had his attention drawn to a curious liquid exuding from the ground at Alfreton. Derbyshire. lie distilled a portion, and obtained an oil suitable for burning in lamps. The supply was soon exhausted, but the experiment Tie had made led him to believe that a similar product could be obtained from the distillation of coal. A few years later he experimented with a rich gas coal found near Bathgate. He was successful. It was afterward proved that other chemists had preceded him; but he was undoubtedly the first to construct apparatus for the manufacture of oil on a commercial scale. In course of time, shale, which had been often met with, but was looked upon as a mineral of no value, was used in place of coal. Since then, the in dustry has increased by leaps and bounds, and has now become one of the most im portant in the country. America Eclipses Previous Records. In 1859 pctrqleum was. discovered in. America ana banana, it was obtained in liquid form bv boring. Some of the wells were extraordinarily prolific, the oil rush ing into the air in a stream so powerful as to defy the control of those engaged in searching lor it. One illustration may be given. While drillers w ere at work an un expected throng rush of oil occurred. In vain they endeavored to stem the torrent, which shot into the air in a solid column 40 feet high. Every lijiht was promptly extinguished save one, 400 feet distant, from which no danger was apprehended; but the spirit or benzine, which is always present in crude petroleum, was ignited, and im mediately converted the column into a roar-' ing pillar of fire. An appalling catastrophe was the result. Everyone within a certain radius was literally biirued up. The owner of the well was by the explosion thrown a distance of 20 feet. He was with difficulty rescued, but only lived a few hours. The experience of SO years in the oil dis tricts has taught drillers how to deal with gushing wells; and accidents which were Irequcnt in the early days of the trade are now scarcely known. In the process of re fining, the "light inliammable spirit is re moved and lamp oil thereby rendered com paratively safe. By act of "Parliament all imported petroleum must not Hash that is, give off inflammable vapor under 73 I'ahrcnheit close test, which is equivalent to 100 Fahrenheit open test. As the temperature of oil in this coun try could not under normal condi tions reach 100 Fahrenheit, the risk of explosion is not great. There is, however, danger to be apprehended from the storage of large quantities in populous centers, such as. the banks of the Thames and the Mersey. In the event of fire breaking out in one of the warehouses adjoining a petroleum de pot, the consequences might be terrible, particularly as the o'rdiuary means of ex tinguishing flames arc useless when burning oil has to be dealt with. Pennsylvania's Golden Grease. Thirty-two years ago oil was "struck" in Pennsylvania. The output was 2,000 bar rels. In the following vear the quantity had increased to 500,01)0 barrels; and a year later to over 2,000,000 barrels. In 1862 Canada became a producing country, with a contribution of nearly 12,000 barrels. Until about 1870, drilling operations in the States wire confined to New York and Pennsyl vania, and the output from the wells was C,250,000 barrels. West Virginia, Ohio and California then'entered the lists; but there is not any reliable information as to ontnut. The combined production from these sources was probably from 150,000 to 200,000 barrels yearly. Down to 1882 there was a steady increase in the supply of oil. That year the output from the Pennsylvania and New York wells reached the gigantic total of 30,000,000 barrels, or a daily average of 82,203. It was the culminating point in the history of the trade. The decline was rapid: and in 188S production had fallen to 17,000,tKK) barrels. To many it seemed tluit the days of American supremacy as an oil-producing country was at an eud. Meanwhile, mineral oil had found its wav into every Euro pean country, and by its superior "illuminat ing pow er had driven off the field the more costly animal and vegetable oils which, out side large towns, had been in universal use. It had even become a formidable rival to gaSj which owes it survival to the ease with w hich it can be lit. The trouble connected with the filling of lames and the trimminw of wicks is the onlv reason which has pre-J vented mineral oil from supplanting tras 1 everywhere. The Great Demand Ibr OH. In order to meet the increasing demand of the w orld fot lamp oil, large quantities of petroleum had to lie taken from the accumu lated stocks held by the pipe lines. In Jan uary, 1883, these "amounted to 35,000,000 barrels. At the close of 1889 they were 11,500,000 barrels, or less than one-third. In 1890 there was a change in the position. The drilling area was enlarged and important additions made to output The average daily production, which in 1888 had declined to 46,700 barrels, rapidly in creased until it touched 80,000 barrels. This largely arrested the continuous drain upon stocks, although down to the close of last vear the daily supply was never quite equal to the demand. The immediate effect of the discovery of petroleum was to check the progress of the paraffining oil trade in Scotland. To drill a well for petroleum was much easier than fo sink a pit for shale. The American pro ducer had also the advantage of obtaining his oil distilled; while his Scottish rival was required to erect costly retorts and do in an imperfect manner what nature in America had already done in her secret laboratories. In the early davs of the trade, high prices were obtained for lamp oil. In 1855 crude petroleum realized 58 per barrel. In De cember, 1886, the market value had fallen to a little over 52; and in 1889 it was under fl. As American quotations controlled the price all over the world, Scottish manufacturers found it necessary to reduce the cost ot production or retire from the contest. It has been'a long and sometimes apparently hopeless struggle against overwhelming odds. In parts of Midlothian and Linlithgowshire the land is covered with mounds of rubbish on which P scant patches of grass and weeds are trying to nnd a name, xney are tne rtiins oi wnat were once brilliant hopes and the memen toes of wasted effort. But still the trade survives; and while the conflict is not yet over, the future is fuller of hope than at any time since 1885. The Itussian Oil Industry. Second only in importance to the American oil "wells arc those of Bus- Long before the rich deposits of Pennsylvania were discovered, the naphtha springs of Baku were known and worked. Marco Polo, who visited Armenia about the end of the thirteenth century, tells of a fountain "whence rises oil in such abundance that a hundred ships might be at once loaded with it. It is not good for eating, but very fit for fuel, for anointing the camels in mal adies of the skin, and for other purposes; for which reason people came from a great distance for it, and nothing else is burned in all this country. .At nrst tne oil was put in goatskins and carried on the backs of camels to the villages in the interior. At a later date barrels were used, and in them the oil was shipped from the port of Baku to the towns on the shores of the Caspian Sea. The exploitation of tne American oil fields had the effect of infusing some life into the primitive workers on the peninsula of Apsheron, and of mildly ag itating the phlegmatic rulers of Russia. It was not until 1878 that, mainly through the efforts of Mr. Xobel, energetic measures were, taken to utilize the enormous deposits known to exist in the country. In 1880 the output was 3,250,000 barrels; and two years later it, was 5,000,000 barrels. From that time progress has been great, and during recent years production has nearly equaled that of America. Some of the welfs "have yielded supplies far in excess of the richesf'gushers" ever drilled in Pennsylvania. From one of them it is estimated the flow was 50,000 barrels in 24 hours. But this was not long maintained, and ultimately it ceased altogether. From Baku to Ba toum, on the Black Sea, a railway has been constructed across the Caucasus a distance of about 600 miles and by means of it the refined oil is conveyed lor ship ment to Europe on the one hand; and to the distant East on the other. A pipeline has been recently laid a portion of the way; and on its completion the cost of transit will be much reduced. England Wants Safeguards. The greater part of the petroleum ex ported From America and Kussia is carried in tank steamers. This method was only adopted a few years ago, and is found to be much easier and cheaper than the barrel system. The ocean steamers exclusively engaged in the trade number 70; and ICO ad ditional arc employed in the Caspian Sea. The larger vessels carry from 3t000 to 5,000 tons. When a steamer arrives in port, the oil is pumped into tanks ob shore. The tanks are usually underground, and when properly constructed reduce the danger from fire to a minimum. Still, the absence of regulations as to their situation and construction is con sidered unsatisfactory by those responsible for the public safety,and the London pounty Council and other public bodies have peti tioned the Government to frame suitable pro visions for dealing with the industry. The response of the Home Secretary is the in flammable liquids bill, and he is desirous of having it referred to a select committee, who would be empowered to take evidence, and to remove provisions which were shown to be unnecessary, or which would press with undue severity on any section of the trade. The Lamp Oil In das try. As illustrating the extent of the business in lamp oils, the following figures, which deal exclusively with the United Kingdom, maybe interesting. The importations of petroleum and petroleum spirit or naphtha during the years 18S8, 1889 and 1890 were: Petroleum Oil In Barrels. 1S88. 1SSS. 1890.

The production of Scotland may be taken at 500,000 barrels of oil and spirit combined; and as compara tively little is exported, the gross consump tion last year from all sources was nearly 2,500,000 barrels, or 100,000,000 gallons. There are few industries which in the space of 40 years can show a progress so marvel ous, or have added more to the material well-being of the nation. THE NEW DESEBT LAKE. The Wafer Is Still Rising; Slowly and Is Getting Fresher. LOS Angeles, CAL., July 5. The fol lowing dispatch was received last night from C. AV. Durbrow, Superintendent of the salt works at Saitoh: "The Indian I sent out from Volcano Springs has returned. His statement settles the question of the water coming from the New river country. The water is coming into the sink at Salton through Carresco creek. I made a diagram of his trip as he told me. His story was compared with the map. and I found him truthful in every particular. The course of the water can be traced by land from Fig Springs. The water empties into Salton Sink 25 miles south of Salton. The water is rising slowly, but moving to the west fast" There are no new features about Salton Lake. A dispatch from the railroad agent says the water has raised one and a half inches in the past 24 hours and is much fresher. Since the source of the water has been definitely solved as coming from the Colorado river by way of New river and the fact that the railroad track is in no danger, interest has subsided and all that can be done is to await developments. HE KILLED HIS -EE0THEE. A Fatal Quarrel Daring Itecovery From a Protracted Spree. Sax Francisco, July 5. Herman and Alexander Anderson, brothers,, went' on a spree Friday night, both becoming intoxi cated. They went to -bed together and quarreled. Alexander struck his brother in the face, and thelatter plunged along knife into Alexander's back, killing him instantly. OYER A CENTURY OLD. The Remarkably Long lease of Life Accorded an Ohio Woman. SHE HAS NOW LIVED 107 YEARS. Bright and Intelligent Still, "With a Funl of Information IN EEGAKD TO OHIO'S EARLY HISTORY rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Marietta, O., July 5. In this county, about a dozen miles above this city on the banks of the beautiful Muskingum river, resides a woman who is unquestionably the oldest and in many respects the most re markable person in this State. This person is Mrs. Xancy Allison Frost, who is nearly 107 years old and is in possession of all her faculties. Nancy Allison was born in Fayette county, Pa., October 22, 1784, and when 5 years of age came with her father to Mariet ta in the fall of 1789, about one year after the first settlement of Ohio at this point. Two years after the arriv al of the family the terrible Indian war of 1791-95 broke out and the ensuing four years the family lived in the Campus Martius fort, the site and foundations of which are within the present corporate limits of this city. Here she attended the first school taught in the Northwest Terri tory, being a Sunday school conducted by a Mrs. Lake, an Englishwoman, in her rooms in the trarrison. where she taught her 15 or 20 little charges to read and taught them, also, the Westminster catechism, the Apos tles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer. In One House for 01 Tears. After the close of the Indian war in 1795, the family removed to a farm on the Mus kingum river above Marietta, where it has resided continuously ever since, the home stead being handed down from one genera tion to another. In the year 1800, at the ageoflG, the subject ol this sketch was married to Stephen Frost, who lived upon a farm adjoining her father's, and this has been her home ever since. In the course of nature-it would seem as though Mrs. Frost's course must be nearly run; but her activity, both physical and mental, is really remarkable. Enjoying her second sight, she both sews and reads with ease, and, barring a partial deafness, she is in full possession of her senses and enters' readily and willindv into conversation. It was the pleasure of the "writer to visit Mrs. Frost at her home, near Lowell, in this county, a few days ago, where she resides with her grandson and his family, and enjoy a long talk with her. The venerable woman appears younger than many women of 75 years, and although averse to notoriety of any kind, she received her visit ors courteously and readily accorded them the privilege of an interview, lasting for nearly an hour. In consequence of her deafness, in conversation she holds the hand of the person with whom she is talk ing, declaring that she is thus enabled to understand better what is said. Sirs. Frost's Interesting Talk. At the outset of the conversation the talk naturally reverted to scenes and inci dents of her early life, which was coincident with that of the State, and her reminiscences were most interesting, many of them pos sessing much historic value. She speaks familiarly of 'General Bu fus Putnam -aud " Major Anselm Tup per, the leaders of the 48 pioneers who landed at what is now Marietta on April 7, 1788, and mado the great State of Ohio a possibility, for she saw them every day during those four long and memorable years of incarceration in the fort during the continuance of the Indian war. She re members well General Arthur St. Clair, first Governor of the Northwest Territory, and his beautiful daughter, Louisa, the belle of the garrison. Mrs. Frost smiled as she told of a little playmate who was the happy possessor of the onlv doll in the Harrison and described this much-envied treasure as minutely as though it were but yesterday instead of nearly 100 years ago that she lived and played in Campus Martius. Contrary to what a visitor would expect, Mrs. Frost takes a lively interest in current events, both in this country and abroad, and asked the writer particularly concern ing European politics. She is a constant reader of the newspapers and her sympa thies are manifestly with the republican movements in Great Britain, France and Germany. She takes an equally lively in terest, too, in all that is going on about her. She Is Prepared for Death. She declares her readiness and anxiety to die, stating that she hopes no one else will live to be so old and a burden to them selves and their friends; and yet she is happy, and to all appearances may live for many years yet. Her grandfather, Allison, she says, lived to the age of 104 years, and longevity is hereditary in her family. Great interest attaches to Mrs. Frost, not only on account of her extreme age, but be-' cause of her retention of her faculties, and although her house is the Mecca toward which many visitors to" this section of the State turn their steps, she does not receive many-strangers, and it is considered a great privilege to secure an interview with her as she especially deprecates notoriety.

This remark; was made by a lead ing New York chemist who was Just making an analysis fonthe Board of Health. "Take the subject of drinking water for Instance. What sensible man or woman who over held a glass of water up to the light felt that it was pure! Even a near sighted person can see that it is full' of vege table and animal matter. In the city, where water is allowed to aocumnlato in tanks on the top of the roofs, naturally the bottom of the tank becomes covered with black mud. In the'eountry, wells are simply dralnings from the surface water outhouses, often from barns and stables. Is it any wonder it is impure? Is it any wonder people get sick "from drinking itt Some people boil the water, and while this may kill tholivo germs, it does not remove them nor remove the veg etable matter which may be in the water and which is often poisonous.

Here at Kaufmanns1 Iead where marked at and could not have been sold for S25, $27 and $30, you can you choice for FIFTEEN DOLLARS. This is just what this sale means. Every word is gospel truth. There is no room or rea son for skepticism. Every man can find out for himself. Every man is at perfect liberty to step right among our $iS, S25, $27 or $30 suit tables and select himself any suit he pleases. Nothing is con cealed 1 Nothing is reserved ! Nothing is excepted! Everything is open and above board, and every suit, no matter how fine or how high its former price may have been, $15 buys it now, Our reasons for this money-losing sale? Well, we hardly think they concern the public. However, since this is a bona fide affair, we don't object to telling: Although the season just passed has been generally prosperous, the strikes and lockouts, it must be con fessed, have been a great- drawback on the sale of fine dress suits. Everybody economized, or had to economize to make both end3 meet. Thus, a man, accustomed to paying $18 for a suit, would limit himself to one of our $10 suits, while he who ordinarily paid $2$ or $30, did not find it convenient to go higher than 12 or 15. Thus, while the medium and low-priced suits found ready sale, the fine and expensive ones stuck. But they won't stick much longer. $15 is tho wonderful motive power that'll make them go. We repeat, the finest suit of them all goes for FIFTEEN DOLLARS, and you your self can, if you wish, go from pile to pile, from counter to counter, and take any suit, whether it be worth $20, $25 or $30, for Only $15. Can anything be fairer squarer plainer ? Remember, this sale commences this morning, and will continue until next Saturday night. The earliest comers will, of course, catch the best bargains. Don't delay. KAUFMANNS' FIFTH AVE. AND SHITHFIELD ST. RAILROADS. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. Schedule In effect 12:01 p. m., Jane 7. 1891.
