PASTOR AND PEOPLE;
The Religions World Deeply Inter
ested in Spurgeon's Illness.
STEOXG HOPES OF HIS EECOVERT.
Borne of the Topics to Be Discussed in Our
Citj Tnlpits.
GLEAXIXGS FR03I CnCECH FIELDS
Mr. Spurgcon hns been confined to his
room since June 12, and a multitude of
obituaries hare been spoiled by his failure
to shuffle off this mortal coil. An article
in the Sirord and Twd, a leading religions
paper of England, has this to say of the
noted preacher'scondition: "The delirium,
which had been such a trying part of 3Ir.
Spurgeon's sufferings, suddenly ceased, and
from that time until the present lias scarcely
returned. This improvement made many
friends imagine that the dear sufferer was
rapidly recovering, whereas, so far as the
actual malady waconccnicd, there was no
material 'alteration." The note appended
to the sermon of the first Sunday of Sep
tember was as follows: "Xo progress can
be reported in Mr. Spurgeon's general con
dition, while the serious malady from which
he has been suffering remains much the
same as it has been for many weeks. " It
is fondly hoped that Christendom's greatest
preacher mav weather the storm and disap
point premature obituary writers. Mr.
Spnrgeon is only ." years of age, and if he
should get around his present ills might do
good work for many years to come.

: WAST WATER TO DRILL
Wells and Streams at McDonald De
stroyed and Exhausted.
AH EXPERT'S OPINION OP THE POOL.
Some Wells Completed Testerday in the
Southwest Limits.
THE TEODUCERS AND THE PIPE LINES
McDonald is in Washington county and
consequently is without a liquor license.
The inhabitants, however, have never com
plained of a lack of liquor, as scarcely a day
passes without a carload of beer
being shipped to the place. It is
water they want now. "Water to drink,
water to use in cooking and loudest of all
the oil operators are crying for water to
use in their boilers. It is not a question of
oil as it is of water. Water is almost as
valuable as petroleum. The oil escaping
from the wells has destroyed the springs
and brooks, and the salt water from
the oil wells has rendered useless
many of the water wells. Notwithstanding
the wealth it brings some of the old timers
among tho natives look uphn the oil csa
curse to their onco fair land. To the oil
operator the lack of water means the loss
possibly of thousands of dollars, and in
several" cases they have been compelled to
nut down thousands of feet of pipe to
get water to their drilling wells. It is a
grievous question, xne natives can aptiy
quote: "Water, water everywhere and no',
a drop to drink," while the operators mur
mur: "My shekels for a drink of water."
In consequence of the drouth, many of the
drilling wells have "been shut down until
water wells can be drilled.
New Wells Complete I.
There were several good wells drilled into
the fifth sand yesterday in McDonald bor
ough. The old wells which came in big are
still holding up their -wonderful records.
There has been no break. One of the big
operators of the field said yesterday
in speaking of this fact: "Why should
they not hold up? Look at the immense
amount of territory each has to pull from.
It is nearly four miles from the Wright
well, in southwest McCurdy, to the lower
end of the McDonald pool, and the big
wells scattered along this line are all
isolated. There is nothing near them to
hinder their producing powers. On each
side of them up and down this line
they have from half a mile to a mile of first
class oil sand, and it is only a' conjecture
Vet as to how far the belt extends sideways.
This great field cannot be compared to any
of the other white sand pools. Take Thorn
creek, Wildwood, ir the rich Washington
county pooV' and here we had
big wells within a few hundred
feet of each other and thev would come in
at an astonishing rate: but when there were
three or four of them pulling from one little
lich spot they soon exhausted all of the oil
and gas and dropped to less than mediocre
producers.
Satisfied "With a Good Tiling.
"The owners of the big wells In tho Mc
Bonald field, where they are fairly well pro
tected, have been satisfied to let
well enough alone, and have not been
rushing things to puncture the shell In
every accessible spot, and therebv, perhaps,
kill the goose that lays tho golden eggs.
This is the wisest course, and in the long
run thev will, no doubt, gee more oil from
ouo of theso big w ells than from three or
four put down around it indiscriminately.
Each of the big ones is draining a vast
amount of rook, and it would be the
height of folly to drill close to any one of
them. If the belt should not be wide it is
safe to say that a quarter of a mile would
not be more than a saf distance from ono of
theso on a 45-degree line. Within tho next
30 days there will be at least 10 wells com
pleted in the field, and I belipve
that tho biggest general production is
yet to come. I do not believe that there will
bo any bigger wells than wo have now. Tho
Mathews well, Is probably the most remarka
ble man over struck anywhore. It has nro
duced over 125,000 barrels of oil in less than
three months, and shows no signs of dimin-
-ishing its enormous output. In fact, when
ever it changes n is ior tne Dcttor.
Extending to the Southwest.
McPoxald W. P. Black & Co.'s well on
the George lot is in the fifth sand, and good
for 40 barrels an hour. Their Xo. 1, on the
CrooKs lot, is also in the fifth, and making 20
barrels an hour. Both of these are south
west of the U. P. Church lot well from
250 to 300 feet. The George lot well
was making 73 barrels a day from
the Gordon sand and the Crooks lot 125 bar
rels a day from the same stratum. Tneir
wells on tho McJ all, Springer and Jamison
lots will get the Gordon sand to-day. McGeo
Bros. & Co.'s well on the Smith lot is making
135 barrels a day, and will be shot. Clark A.
Campbell's Mellon the Sauters property,
which is several feet In the fifth sand,
is making about 200 barrels a daj. Shairer
& Co. wero reported to have gotten a 300 or
400 barrel well on tho hill west of the U. 1.
Church lot late last night. Guckert &
Steelcs No. 1 on the Mevey was drilled a
little and is making 125 barrels an hour.
Their No. 2 is down 1,030 feet; No. 3 is shut
down at 000 on account of the scarcity of
water; No. 4 Is 400 feet deep, and No. 5 is
spudding.
J. T. Sauters withdrew his suit against
Guckert, Steele & Co., j csterday, which was
brought to restrain them from drilling
through coal which he owned under an acre
and a half of the Mevey farm. Sir. Sauters
is the owner of the Nickel Plate mine. As a
consequence of tho withdrawal of tho suit
Guckert & Steele have commenced spud
ding iu their No. 5 Mevey Boviard. Seyiung
& Co.'s well is showing strong in the fifth
sand.
It "Will Be a Small WeU.
McCubdt Hoffman & Co.'s well on the
Moore farm was reported last night to bo
from 12 to 15 feet in the fifth sand and good
-for only CO barrels a day. This is -a disap
pointment to tho ownersaswcll as many of
the leaseholders In the vicinity. It is only
about 400 feet from the Forest Oil Company's
Wright farm well. In tho extreme north
eastern part of the McCurdy field a number
of rigs have boen built.
Guil'cy & Gailey have a rig on the James
Snear larni. three-fourths of a mile north-
cast of tho schoolhouse lot well and east of
tho old Grovoton field- Tho Wheeling Gas
Company has a rig on tho Samuel Phillips
farm, about 1.500 feet cast of the school
house and north of the Annie Adams No. 1.
The Smith Farm Oil Company has a rig up
on the Stev. art farm, 300 feet northeast of
the schoolhouse. The Philadelphia Gas
company is uuimingarigon tneAiKen lurm.
It is 2 miles ahead of developments in the

"What the Producers Want
The following communication from the
Hon. Pavid Kirk, of the McCalmont Oil
Company, who Is recognized as one of the
leading spirits in the Producers' Protective
Association, fully explains itself:
To the Oil Editor or the Dispatch:
What the producers require Is so reason
able that their demands have only to be
stated to be complied with. For the infor
mation of all concerned, especially the pipe
line authorities, that they be "prepared, 1
will stateabout what tbeproduccrs want.
We have no objections that tho oil deliv
ered to the miuor lines go Into the Hues of
the National 'Transit Company: indeed, wo
prefer that this company should be the cus
todian of all, as it possesses the capital,
credit and facilities to Insure responsibility
and the proper transaction of tho business,
but before wo deliver to It our goods we de
sire that certain definitions and rules be es
tablished so that when we give -n e shall un
derstand definitely what shall bo returned.
The usages of the trade has established five
different kinds of crude petroleum, viz:
Lima, Bradford, Tiona, Middle and South
ern. These kinds have been run, held and
dellveicd separately, and each has com
iranded a dillerent price. We desire that
these distinctions ana separations be main
tained, so that each shall stand upon its own
merits in tho market and tho owner shall
PITTSBUEG - DISPATCH,
receive the same kind and quality ho con
tributes. We object to various kinds being run in to
gether like succotash or egg-nogg. If wegivq
beans we desire beans back, if whisky, we
will take ours straight.
The present certificate to deliver back
crude petroleum is not sufficient: wo wish it
to state the kind and quality that It repre
sents and where it will be delivered, and in
tho interests of small producers we ask cer
tificates for 250 and 500 barrels as well as the
1,000 barrels as at present. . We desire the
form of the certificate, the rules and regula
tions established by competent authorities
representing all concerned, so that they can

The above solntion is Mr. Perry's correc
tion of Mr. Maize's position In game No. 145
of PisrATCH, correcting Mr. R. P. Yates. In
speaking of the play to Mr. Maize ho says he
can show the draw against the lines taken
by Mr. Perry. Wo ask our readers to give
tho above play their careful consideration
and send tho result of their investigations
to The Pispatch.
THE AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.
The results of the first six games give
Barker tho lead, tho score being Barker, 1;
Reed, 0; drawn, 5; but the friends or Reed aro
in no way discouraged, and are still confi
dent of his success.
CHAMPIONSHIP NEW SOUTH WALES.
From the Sydney Echo we learn that the
New South Wales Championship Tournn
ment has been brought to a close. Mr. W.
Warnoek beat Mr. Brury, and won the first
prize and the championship title. Since
winning he has been challenged by Mr. T.
Reld, bnt. as ho was under an engagement to
play Mr. E. Mar, the champion- of Queens
land, ho could not give Mr. Reid a definlto
nnswer. If he was unable to come to terms
regarding his going to Brisbane to nlay for
tne cuampionsnip oi Australasia, ne would
give Mr. Boreham tho first chance, as ho was
the first challenger. Should Mr. Boreham
waive his right to play as the first chal
lenger he would consider Mr. T. Reid's pro
posal. Mr. Warnoek was born at Green
Island, near Punedin, on September 10, 1858.
Ho followed the occupation of a farmer for
several years, leaving home for the first
time to take a situation with a neighbor,
Mr. Craig, who taught him the rudiments of
tho game of draughts. After sorving Mr.
Craig fora long period he decided to try his
luck at tho diggings and journeyed to tho
West Coast, where he worked as a miner
ifor five years. He had now comototakca
great interest in draughts and to piny so
ell as to have no superior within a radius
of 10 miles. At that distance, however,
there was a player who could heat him.
Not boing content with this state of
matters, ho used to travel the ten miles in
order that he might meet his superior over
the board, at least once a week, and ho con
tinued to do this until ho had succeeded iu

A TWICE-TOIJJ TALE.
What These Physicians Can Accomplish in
Curing Disease.
"I have been a terrible sufferer, as have
many others, from the after affects of la
grippo, but my ca3e took a different turn
from that of any other that I have heard of."
The speaker was Mr. Thomas F. Robinson,
the well-known boat-bulldor of this city, who
lives on Lafayette street, Hazelwood, Twenty-third
ward, of this city, and 'he was giv
ing his experience with the physicians In
charge of tho Electropathie Institute, at 507
Penn avenue.
Thomas F. Robinson, Lafayette street. Hazel
wood. "After I began to recover lrom the
disease I was attaoked with facial neuralgia,
and have suffered since such tortures as
man seldom suffers from pain, continuous
and almost crazing. In my face and head.
I was also afflicted with lumbago, accom
panied by its usual terrible pains and aches.
"The constant strain upon me finally re
sulted In complete nervous prostration and
insomnia or sleeplessness, that nearly sot
me crazy.
"The pains In my head were so severo and
continuous that I could neither eat nor
sleep, and frequently became so bad as, to
interfere with me following my occupation.
I suffered intense pains from' the slightest
Jar or shock, and could not, for this reason,
use the street cars at all.
"It was in this condition that I was in
duced to apply to the physicians of the
Electropathie Institute, at 5J7 Penn avonno,
this city. They examined me, and after a
talk with them L placed myself in their
hands for treatment. I was under treat
ment less than a week when I began to grow
better, and the decided curative effects of
their method became manifest, and I am
now completely cured.
"I cannot speak too highly of. the physi
cians of the Pittsburg Electropathie Insti
tute and their strictly scientific methods of
curing diseases, and I want to say that all of
their patients with whom I came in contaot
were greatly pleased with the rapid cures
boing made in their cases."
