GATEERLVGS IX OUR SISTER CITY.
Some of the Topics to Be Discussed in Our
City Pulpits.
GLEAXIXGS FROM CIIURCH FIELDS
October seems to be the favorite fall
month fo' religious conv ocations. The
American Board of Commissioners for For
eign Missions has jit closed its annual
t-ctsion at Pittsfitld, Mass. In Allegheny
citv two important religious conventions
hav c met this week, namely, the Congrega
tional Association of "Western Pennsyl
vania and the Disciple Brotherhood. The
latter is still in session, and their proceed
ings rill be watched with interest the- next
few days.
The Congregational churches of "Western
Pennsylvania are not numerous or strong.
The semi-annual meeting of the representa
tives ot the few scattered churches of this
region, which was held in Plymouth Church,
Allegheny, this week, was an unusually
heniusiasuc one. Rev. Dr. Sutherland, of
Mcadville. presided in a very happy man
ner, and all delegates expressed themselves
as delighted with their visit to our cities.

A HICE LITTLE PLOT
Concocted by a Station Agent Who Said He
Had Keen Bobbed of S350.
Eondout, Oct. 16. ijpedoi On Thurs
day morning last Station Agent Southwick,
of the Tanners ville station of the Kaater
skill Kail road, reported that on the pre
vious evening, while on his way home, he
was waj laid by a highwayman and robbed
of 3.)0. He said he was knocked down,
and while trying to defend himself a part
ot one ot his fingers was shot
awav. To prove his assertion Southwick
exhibited his clothing co ered with mud
and the wounded finger. Southwick stated
his suspicions of w ho the highvv aymau was
and the suspected man was arrested and
searched, but, a nothing was lound to in
dicate that he had knowledge of the assault,
lie w as released
The railroad company that lost 5300 and
the American Kxprcss Company that lost
the ?50 had a different idea of who the al
leged thief was, and they did a little in
vestigation themselves. The result was
that the assault was put down as a cleverly
concocted tale of the station agent, and he
w as arrested.

GOING STILL' HIGHER.
The McDonald Production Took An
other Jump Yesterday.
IT'HAS INGBEASED 1,000 BARRELS.
Two Big Wells Tapped on the Western Edge
of Developments.
SOME SMALL BDTLER C0DNTT WELLS
There was another increase in the pro
duction of the McDonald oilfield yesterday.
People who have access to the figures claim
that it was 53,000 barrels, or 1,000 barrels
more than the day before. This seems like
an enormous output for such a limited
field, and doubtless it is, but there
are plenty of operators who now
predict that it will reach 60,000 barrels
within the next 20 days. There are many
skeptics who refuse to believe that the pro
duction is over 45,000, and they calmly deny
that any well in the field has at any time
made over 350 barrels an hour. They assert
that every report has been bulled; that the
production of every well is magnified, and
that before a month is past
the field will be on the decline.
It is a noticeable fact, however, that the
people who make these statements have
never taken a gauge of a well and in very
few instances have thev taken the trouble
to traverse the held. Possibly some of the
reports regarding the production of some
wells have been exaggerated, but if so, it
has invariably been the fault of the
owners or someone connected with
the lease on which the well or
wells were located. There can be no object
in booming the production of a well unless
it was about to be sold to tenderfeet. There
is no oil man who would buv an oil prop
erty without first inspecting it closely, and
getting a personal gauge of the output of
the wells. The production as a whole, is
on the increase, as any novice would know
by visiting the old wells and the ones which
are being brought in daily.
Two More Big Wells.
There were two new wells developed in
the field yesterday, and both of them belomj
to the Devonian Oil Company, the princi
pal stockholders of which are Finegan,
Downing & Co., who have been operating
for years. They formed the Devonian Oil
Company only a few mouths ago. The
wcljs which they brought in jes
terday were their !Xo. 1 Elliott and
their No. 3 on the Favall farm.
The So. 1 Elliott started off at'the rate of
80 barrels an hour as soon as it broke
through the sand, and the Xo. 3, on the
Fnyall, did 40 barreta on hour irom the top
of the sand. Both of these wells may be
drilled in to-day. The latter well is located
650 feet northeast of Fayall No. 2, which
is making 30 barrels an hour. The,
Elliott well is located about'
700 feet west cf north from the
Koval Gas Companj 's big well on the Mary
Bobb farm. These two wells are on the
western side of theMcDonald developments
and are possibly a part of the pool which
extends north and cast to the Sturgeon heirs'
well. Ihey open up an entirely new streak,
which was first struck by the Mary Kobb
well several weeks ago. The field is found
toextend and moiednllingwill be the result
in the western limits. There was a report
out last night that the output from these
wells was from 80 to 100 barrels an hour
each, but it could not be confirmed. The
Devonian Oil Company's Elliott No. 2 and
No. 4 Fayall are shut down on account ot a
shortage "in the water supply. These wells
should be on top of the sand the last of next
week. The Koyal Gas Company has started
to drill No. 3, on the Mary Eobb farm. The
McLain lot well of Kowland & Co. was re
ported to be through the fifth sand last
night and dry. It will be shot in the fifth
sand.
They Bun the Tool-?.
The well on the Sturgeon heirs' property,
belonging to Guffey, Murphy and the Oak
dale Gas Company, was agitated a little
yesterday, and its production increased
from 30 to 50 barrels an hour. Guffey,
Murphy & Galey's No. 1, on the Sam Stur-
geon'larm, east 1,000 feet from the Elliott
No. 3, was also stirred up, and it run its
output up to 300 barrels an hour.
These Sturgeon wells are nearly half a
mile apart on an east and west
line, and show a scope of oil-bearing rock
of that width. There are likely to be
several dry streaks between these two ven
tures, but until more wells arc drilled this
will not be known for a certaintv.
The Elliott No. 3 of Guffey," Murphy &
Galey was doing 275 barrels an hour yester
day after considerable agitation. It was
reported to have made 400 barrels an hour
but there seems to have been no gauge
taken of it when it was producing this
amount. It is one of the great wells of the
field, and may yet be made to produce as
much as anv of its neighbors. Green
lee & Forst's No 1 on the Mc
vey farm was making 250 barrels
an hour yesterday without agitation. The
pumps which had broke down Thursday
and allowed hundreds of barrels of oil to
escape had been repaired and no crude was
being lost. Their No. 4, on the Mevey
farm, was through the Gordon sand yester
day afternoon and will be in the tifth to
day or Monday. Their No. 3 Mevey
is also drilling in the Gordon sand.
Both of these wells are located on
almost a direct line between
Gufley, Murphy & Co.'s No. 1, on the Sam
Sturgeon farm, and their No. 3 on the El
liott farm. They should be good wells, if
location counts for anv thing. Guckert &
Steele's No. 2, on the Mevey property, will
be, iu the Gordon sand this morning. The
well of George A. Martin & Co., on the
Druart four acres, located 400 feet south
west of Hays & McGarland's No. 5 Mil
ler, which is making 100 barrels an
hour, was through the Gordon sand last
night, and showing small in that formation.
The Koyal Gas Company's No. 4, on the
Sauter's farm, is through the Gordon sand
and may reach the fifth to-day. This well
is located on a couple of hundred feet west
of their big SautcrsNo. 3. They are still
fishing in the sand at Bowman,
Dibert & Co.'s No. 1 on the Johns
lot, southwest of the railroad station.
Hays & Gartland expected to be in the
fifth sand last night at their No. 4 on the
Miller farm. It is located on a direct line
between Miller No. 1, which is a big well,
and Greenlee & Forst's well on the Mevey.
Judging from the external surroundings it
will bo as big as the Miller No 1. The
Kend well was still making from 35 to 40
barrels an hour yesterday af'ernoon.
They Got the Lease.
Greenlee & Forst paid 2,500 yesterday
for a 20-acre lease which joins W. P. Kend's
pioperty on the east at McDonald.

SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM NO. 84.
The following interesting letter we think a
good solution to the above problem:
To the Checker Editor of the Dispatch:
In regard to the automaton "Aleeb," chess
and checker player in New York, as you ask
for report from anyone having knowledge
of the machine, I would sav thatabout three
years ago, while living in New York, I visit
ed the tden Musee (and by the way I advise
every Pittsburger visiting the city not to
fail to go there and see its .many wonders),
and, accepting the general invitation given
to play chess with "AJeeb," seated myself
betore him. He is, apparently, a swarthy
turbaned Turk, with a loose fitting tunic on,
and apparentl v rather large body, no lower
limbs being visible. He is Jointed at the
neck, to allow a bowing movement: also at
the shoulder and elbow Joints of the right
arm; also I believe the wrist. The right arm
moves unerringly to the piece he wishes
to move. The piece is grasped be
tween the thumb and forefinger,
as ordinary players do; the piece Is raised
from the board and set correctly in the new
position. When check; is given he bows his
head. After the game is over the attendant
puts away the board and men and then
opens a large door in the body, throuf h, and
on tho other sidj of which can be seen the
wall and t urnitui e back of the nutomaton.
This is done for the purpose.of showing that
no one is concealed within; but I noticed
thattheie was time enough consnmed in
putting awav the pieces to allow the player
to escape below. Xot having played a game
for 30 years I found I was very rusty and
belore I knew what I was about lie had won
a piece (a Bishop) from me; I saw then that
I must attend stuctly to the business in
hand, and I did so with such good results as
to make a drawn game. Looking at It now,
I will say I can win a majority of games
from the player at that time conducting the
game for "AJeeb." My theory of the con
stiuction is this: There Is an operator who
makes his entrance and exit from below. Ho
lias a small peep hole commanding a view
of the board. The arm is hollow and has a
socket joint at the shoulder allowing
motion in all directions; also joints at
the elbow and wrist, with a spring to open
and close the finger and thumb on the piece;
then with the arm of the operator thrust
well down through the hollow arm of the
aulofflaton, perhaps past the elbow, ou can
readily see how all the movements could be
made, while looking through the peep
hole. I think this explanation will account
for it, for I think it is a pretty well settled
fact that wood, iron, steel and cloth cannot

NO ROOM TO DOUBT.
For considerations stated In these columns
last week, and in order by practical tests to
give the public abundant opportunity to test
the superiority of their skill and their meth
ods, Drs. Copeland and Hall extended their
rate of $5 a month for medicines and treat
ment through October. All patients apply
ing for treatment before November 1 will be
treated for $5 a month, Rnd nil meuiciues
for all diseases furnished free, each month's
treatment, including medicine, to cost $3
UNTIL CURED.
"You see, Drs. Copeland and Hall had
cured my son, Frank Hennemann, of a bad
case of catarrh over a year ago, and he
stayed cured. Frank is a brass molder by
trade and his work is especiallv bad on this
disease and I hadn't much confidence in his
getting cured when he flrt began treatment
with Drs. Copeland and Hall.
Mr. James Hennemann, Allegheny.
"Bnt they cured him. Then I thonght
maybe it wouldn't last, but that is a jear
ago and Frank is well to-day." The speaker
was Mr. James Hennemann, a well-known
engineer, who lives at 135 Liberty street,
Allegheny, nnd who is employed at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Eitnerstroet", Pitts
burg. "1 had been suffering for six years
with a similar disease; always colds in my
head and my nose stopped up so I could not
breathe through it; pains in mvheadacros3
the forehead; buzzing and ringing in my
ears: aching eyes and my eyes so weak and
running water that I could not read; a con
tinual hoarseness in my throat and a gath
ering of phlegm, these accompanied by a dis
agreeable cough, especially in the mornings
when I got up. My sleep at night was broken
and mv rest did me but little good. My
stomach was also all out of order. "I doc
tored with rour or Jive doctors, but I didn't
get any relief. As the trouble grew worse
and my son's cure became so evident, and
a year passed without any leturn of his
tronble at all, I came to Drs. Copeland and
Hall, At 66 Sixth nvenno. They found
my nose filled with polypi and re
moved them, almost insftmtaneonsls' nnd
without a particle of pain. My case
Improved steadily under their care. I avt
cured of every trace of my trouble to-day.
I make this statement of my own accord,
and after I am certain of what I speak."
MR. PRANK HENNFMANJi, THE SON,
living at 216 Madison avenue, Alle
gheny, says of his case and recovery:
"A dry cough set in. I could feel
the matter constantly dropping
back into my throat, which kept me
hawking and raising to cleir it. 3Iy throat
became raw and soi e, so bad at times that I
could not speak above a whisper. Sharp
pains, like the stab of a knife, would take me
In the region of the heart and through the
chest; night sweats came on and weakened
me terribly; my nights were restless, and I
would arise in the morning all worn out. I
was always nungry,
but feared to eat,
dreading the conse
auences: no m ttter
how little I wonld
take on my stomach
it would cause me a
miserable feeling. I
had been reading the
numerous statements
ot patients who had
been cured bv Dr.
and resolved that 1
would try him."
Mr. Hennemann's
'S' resolution was car-
Mr. Frank Hennemann. "-nod " results
both father and son testify. He Improved
in the first few weeks, but, though ho felt
well, the physicians advised him to con
tinue until every trace of the trouble w as
eradicated.
If he had stopped treatment then the
trouble would, in all probability, have come
back upon him. As it was, he continued fol
lowing his treatment until he was com
pletely and permanently cured. He con
cludes his evidence:
"Dr. Copeland has made a new man of me.
I feel as well now as I ever did."
Mr. Daniel Trnby, McKeesport: "Catarrh
complicated with La Grippe made almost an
invalid of me. I would go to my work so
dizzy I was afraid I would fall under the
steam hammer. Drs. Copeland and Hall
cured me."
Mr. C. C. McMnllln, engineer of the P. &
TV. R. R., Bennett, Pa.: "I suffered live years
from catarrh. Drs. Copelandnnd Hall treated
me and I am better than I have been for

been treating with Drs. Copeland and Hall
a shor; timo and thev have done me more
good than I could possibly have expected. I
can say now that I feel better than ever I
did in my life."
Mr. John Gill, 62G1 Penn avenue.?!!!
I, after a course of treatment with Drs
Copeland and Hall, am to-dly cured of all
my catarrhal troubles."
