THE BELIGIOUS WORLD
Churches Are Xow Fully Equipped
for the Winter Campaign.
OUR THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES
Jlre Starting With Brighter Prospects
Than for Tears Past
SOME rULHT THEMES FOR SUNDAT
There are now close to 200 church or
ganizations in the cities of Pittsburg and
Allegheny, and all are evidently starting
out on a rigorous campaign against the com
mon enemy. It is doubtful if there are any
cities in the land whore so large a propor
tion of the populatian have church goiug
habits as here. In addition to the churches
are three theological seminaries, all located
in Allegheny City, in which upward of 150
students are preparing for the ministry.
The Presbyterian Seminary opened lat
Tuesday under brighter prospects than for
years. Twcntj -eight new students were
maTicul-itcd and more are expected. The
United Prcsbvterian Seminary is also in full
blast with a most promising outlook.

REMAKKABLE WELLS.
The Sauters No. 3 at JIcDonald Sud
denly Starts to Flowing.
BIST0RI OP TWO BIG GUSHERS.
Statement of Wp'rk Completed and Wells
Drilling at McCurdy,
KEPOETS FEOM THE SHALL FIELDS
The interest in the oil fields yesterday
centered around the Royal Gas Company's
No. 3 Sauters at McDonald. Of its own
free will, without being shot, and with no
visible forces at work, it was suddenly
transformed into a little volcano and
spouted oil at an almost incredible rate. To
thoroughly understand the phenomenon
the history 'of the well must be kuown. It
is located about half a mile northwest of
XcDonald station, and was drilled into the
fifth sand over two months ago. It was
then the biggest well in the field. For a
short time it run o er 120 barrels an hour.
Soon after it was strncTc LeComte & Val
lilee drilled their well on the Short
lot, 200 feet southwest, into the fifth
sand. The latter was as big as the
Siuters well, and almost immediately its
effect was seen in the production of the
Sauters. In the hope ot increasing the out
put of the Sauters, the owners b'egan to
drill it deeper into tho sand, when it sud
denly ceased to flow. The LeComto & Val
lilee well continued to put out a big
lot of oil, but a few days ago,
when it was making 23 barrels
an hour, it stopped flowing as
suddenly as did tho Sauters. Altogether the
LcCointeand Vallilee well had produced
nearly 100,000 barrels of oil. Xow, after the
Lo Comte well has stopped, the Koyal Gas
Companv's Sauters Xo. 3 lias again broken
loose and commenced to flow about noon
jesterday, and by 3 o'clock had filled
a 2,-0-barrcl tank. Last evening it was
reported to be making anywhere from 30
to 60 barrels an hour. It is a remai kable
instance of the resuscitation ot a well, and
has occurred but few times in the history of
tho oil country. At the time tho Sauters
stopped flowing it was believed that its
action was due primarily to tho LeComto &
Vallilee well, on the Short lot, and this belief
has been strengthened since it started
up almost immediately after the
Short lot well ceased operations.
The two wells are without doubt
connected Operators in the field who own
the other big wells are asking themselves
when the bottoms are going to fall out of
their own producers. There is scarcely a
man among them who w ould be surprised to
hear of any of tho gushers suddenry letting
up and It is looked for nearly every day
among some of the wells which have put out
tens oi thousands of barrels.
The Other McDonald Wells.
W. P. Black & Co.'s woll on the Crooks lot
in the souths estern part of the borough, got
the fifth sand yesterday morning, and was
reporUflUast night to be making 25 barrels
an hourrThe same parties' v enture on the
Di- Jamison lot was drilling in the fifth sand
last night, and showing for a good well.
It is a fair well in the Gordon
sand. The well of the Roval Gas
Company on the Sauteis and Patterson
property in the eastern limits of the field
was finished up jesteiday, and at last ac
counts t as making 30 barrels an hour. The
I'eopies uas iOmpanys cii on tne David
son lot, southwest of the Sauters Xo. 3. is
through the Goidon sand. The Roval Gas
Company's Sauters Xo. 4 will be finished
early next weok. The same company's Xo.
5, on the Ed McDonald farm, is showing up
well in the Gordon sand. It is located down
near tho turntable. Their Xo 6 Ed McDon
ald, w hlch is located neat W. P. Black &
Co.'s Ctooks lot well, is about completed.
The Roj nl Gas Company's Xo. 1 on the Mary
Robb furm, in the western edge of the field,
is making 100 bairelsan hour. It is about
SO days old, and in that time it has produced
nearly 65,000 barrels. During the hrst 37
days it pioduccd 40 barrels an
hour day in and day out, without
being agitited a minute. Their Xo. 2, on
the Mary Robb is drilling at 1,300 feet, and
they have a rig up for Xo 3. Tho Devonian
Oil Company's Xo. 2 on tho Monjot property
was two feet in the flttli sand last evening
and made a good flow. Their Xo. 1 on the
Elliott larm, northeast of the Mary Robb.
is down 1,900 feet, and their Xo.
2 Fajall is about the sumo depth.
Davis & McClurg, on tho Ening lot, will get
the Gordon sand Mondav. The Wallace Oil
Company has just put the last casing in its
w ell on the lumber jard lot. Turner & Mc
Clurg hav e the first string of casing in their
"Goldplate" well. Guckort & Steele's Xo. 1
on the Mevey Is making 65 barrels an hour.
Their Xos. 2 and 3Jon the Mevey are each
down about 1,000 feet, and their Xos. 4 and 5
on the same farm are drilling at 103 feet
each.
The Gordon Sand Wells.
Xoblestown Guffey, Jcnnnings, Murphy
& Co 's Xo. 1, on the Herron farm, was mak
ing 35 barrels an hour from the Gordon sand
jesterday. Their Xo. Ion the Bell is doing
420 from tho Gordon, and Xo. 2 Roll about
300 The Bell wells are being drilled to tho
11 1 tli sand, but the Herron .well will be
allowed to remain wheie it is at present.
There is only about 15 foot of Gordon sand
found in this locality. Tho same parties
will have several other wells in the
Gordon in this locality next week.

THE CHAMPION LADY PLAYER.
A few Issues since we had the honor of re
vealing the true identity of "Mrs. Okey,'
the lady checkerist, and the pleasure of In
troducing her to the public as the "cham
pion lady player of the world." To-day we
take upon ourselves another pleasure in
presenting her features, sketch of her llfo,
and some of her choice problems and games.
MRS. WILL 8. ANDRES
was born in Portsmouth, Ohio. July 17. 1863,
of Irish parentage, her miiden name being
Lillian Keefe. From early childhood she
slioned a mathematical mind. In school
she stood first in her class In arithmetic, al
gebra and tho like. Hoi love and talent for
checkers followed as a matter of course, but
it was never developed to any great extent
until some years aftorwaid in fact, not un
til she became acquainted with herhuband,
and sho beenmo acquainted with him in
this ai: she was a compositor for tho
Portsmouth Daily Blade. Ho was special
correspondent and checker editor on the
same paper. She handled tho type that
placed his column in position and would
play him during moments of leisure.
Their love for chockers was mntnal.
Their lovo for each other soon became ditto,
and on tho evening of October 7, 1SS7, this
little checker couple were mnrricd. Mr.
Andres then became his wife's instructor in
earnest, and Introduced hor to tho checker
public under the nom do plume of "Mrs.
Okey." Correspondence matches weio
solicited nnd prominent plavers throughout
tho country responded. In all this play she
was eminently successful. In 1880 she and
her family resided in tho South, here sho
defeated all plajers whom she met. Hor
contributions to checker Journals have been
above the ai erage, highly cieditablo and
impress!! e. Her 11 ork as a whole bespeaks
for her lolumesof praise arid wins her the
title sho o strongly admires and enjoys.
