The estimated production of the McDon ald field has again fallen below 20,0 JO bar rels a day. It was given out yesterday as "being 19,500 barrels. There is still only one well on the list, making 20 barrels an hour. The rig at the People's Gas Company's Xo. 156, on the McMurray farm, located between Oakdale and Gregg station, wan burned yesterday. The origin of the fire was rather peculiar. They engaged in shoot ing the' well. A shot had been ?ut in, bnt the go-devil failed to explode it. he shooter then dropped a squib, and' just as ho did so the w ell made allow, thioning the lighted squtb up into the derrick, where it exploded and ignited the rig. The burn ing well is only a short distance from the Forest Oil Company's Na 2 Gregg, and it nas only hv the hardest kind of work that it was saved. It is the first accident of the kind that has happened in the field. -' The Forest Oil Company's No. 6 on the Clever farm in the nortueastern put of the McCnrdv field reached the fifth Sand yester day morning and made a 25-barrel flow. It was drilled lor gas in the lourth sand, but as it was a failure in that formation they nut it on down to tbe fifth sand. This is the 'first oil that has been struck in theUfrh sand in this part of the field. The well is located about tliree-quartersofauiile south west of 'the wells on the McCoy farm, and there are some fifth sand gassers between them. Greenlee A Foist are down 1,200 feet in their Na 3 Kirk, located in tne lleise Gm don sand pool. Knox.

JtmcTiox-Guckert 4 Steele reachod tho second pav yesterday in their well on the Gardner farm, in the Garvin pool, southwest of this place, and it made a 20-harreI flow. They have a rig up on the Knauff farm, 2,500 leet northwest .of tbe Gardner. TJMJEBOLirr S. D. Hobison expects to reach the 30 foot band to-day on tbe Miller farm. It is located three-quarters of a mile west of Patterson & Sohn's 30-foot well on the Ecssler farm. If it is dry in the SO-foot he will drill it to the fit tit sand. Two Good Slstersville Wells. Sistetsvjlix A couple of good wells were d tilled into the sand in this field esterday. The Kanawha OH Company's No 3 Ludolph was reported at the office of the eompany to bo good for 600 barrels a day. It is in the center, of developed territory on the Ohio side. Jennings & Grace's well on the southern end of Williamon's Island was ropoted to be cuod lor 300 barrels a day. It is two miles above Slstersville. The Gauges.

The Xorth witern 2tller says: The mills did not get out quite as much flour last week as In the week before, partly on account of a loss of time by one of them from a. break down. Tho amount or flour made was 221,970 bar-' rels, averaging 3B.935 barrels dally. Only the previous week's run has has ever exceeded that of last week. For the corresponding week a year atro the output was J W. 600 'bar rels, and in 1890, 155;730 barrels. This week the safne 20 mills are going, and if no acci dents happen they are quite likely to agalri nverage 38,000 barrels per 24 hours. While millers complain of the flour market as lacking any vim or liveliness, they seem to be sellliiK abont as much as is being ground from week to week. Now Tork Metal Market.

William H. Llowellyn, Vice President or tbe Llewellyn Mortgage and Trust Company of Seattle," Wash., was encountered in the office of George B. Hill & Co. this afternoon, and talked to The Dispatch as follows: . "There are those who have "been pleased to compare Seattle to Chicago, and have prophesied for it a similar lemarkablo growth. It can truthfully be raid that Seattle possesses the same irresistible condi tions that have made New York, Chicagoand Pittsburg what they are. It has a record for enterprise which, 1 believe, has never been equn'ed in tile history ot the United States. In 1880 the population was 3,500, in 1890 45,00(1, andnt the present time it Is about 70 000, which places her second only to ban Fran cisco on the Pacific coast. Seattle is located on Elliot hay, a branch of the Pacific ocean, and is tbe "hub" of the great commercial wheel of Puget Sound basin, which has a shore line or about 2,000 miles.. It is nearly sui rounded by water, having several large fresh water lakes back or it.- In 'June, 1890, a lev days after your irightful calamity in Johnstown, the cily suffered a loss by fire of nearly $20,000,000, all of her business build ings and stocks of goods being consumed. 1 since that time e have unlit approxlmatcly $20,000,000 worth or buildings, about 80 miles of'street railway,-and have Dobght about $50,000,000 worth or real estate. "Xoitsiailroad and shipping auxiliaries are due the remarkable developments of the State. The commerce,especially of Puget Sound, U expanding rapidly. The great outside trade is through Puget Sound. Hore come tho teas ot Cnina and Japan; the cement, lion, fire brick and manufactured goods of Great Britaiu; the coffee, rice, spices,, sugar, etc, ot Hawaii, Brazil, juuniuu, iOiitriu America anu ocner ioreign couutries. From here go lumber, wheat, flsh, etc., to the vitlue of ahout $14,000,000 per annum. Five t-ea-going vessels per day, 150 per month, 1,800 per year, averaging 1,000 tons each, go tiom Puget Sound points and coast points bejond the Stato limits, and as many vessels enter the Sound. . ' -Tne amount or shipping in American bot toms is greater fioin Puget Sound than from any port in the Union except New York, beattle can boast ot one feature not pos sessed by any city In the world, and which demonstrates the intelligence and foresight of its people, uiul betokens their laith in its futuio greatness. By an ordinance, whijli has been duly tested in the courts of the State, the city lias set apart a portion of the entire water front of the city as a right of way for railways, which shall be free and uninteirupiedto any and all which have now or may hereafter enter the city. So commeice finds in Seattle a condition Involving less cost of irefgbt handling and closor connections by rail and water than can lie found in any other seaport in tbe world. This right of way is calleu the Great Bail way Avenue or the city of Seattle. This liberal policy toward railroads has ben wainily received, and the interest which has been taken in Seattle by the various transcontinental Hues shows an Intention to avail themselves to the greatest extent of the phenomenal privileges accorded them. "Puget Sound produced and shipped last yeir ahout 800,000,000 leet of lumber, about $6,000,000,000 uortn or flsh, and an equal amount of coal. King county, of wrrich Seattle is the county seat, contains large deposit or superior coking coal, large ledges or limestone and mountains or iron, all within easy reach or Seattle and the sea board. The Pacific coast consumes annually about 200,000 lous of iron of all classes. Pig iron sells in Seattle for $28 to $32 a ton. We need blast furnaces badly." . Paid Too High Prices. British investors have had occasion to ex press much dissatisfaction with their invest ments in Ameiican breweries three or four years ago. The London Mattel has this to say upon the subject: ''The English direct ors of some American breweries are now dis .posed to regard the disastrous state of their affairs as tho lesnlt chiefly of-bad manage ment in America. ' It is to be noted, how ever, that in most cases this is the . same management which, before the breweries were sold to English companies, had, ac according to tho prospectuses, made (hem highly prosperous, and that, in soma in stances, tbe English diroctois, after visits to America, have expressed full approval of tbe management which is now strongly con demned. TJicro may have been mismanage ment, but tbe great mistake, as we have constantly pointed out, was that twice or three times their value was paid for most of tbe breweries, and the difficulties which were almost cettaln to arise in carrying them on by Britlsu companies were reso lutely ignored." How are investors in some or tbe many "-Industrials," which have been floated in the same way, likely to fare? Northern Pacific Preferred. , The report submitted at the meeting to day shows that the gross earnings ot the company, including leceipts from the Wis consin Central lines and other leased and branch roads, were $30,205,421 67; total net income, $13,604,074 91. 'Ihe surplus over ex penses and fixed charges was $834,887 64, and alter deducting $731,862, representing divi dends of 2 percent on tbe preferred stock, the net surplus for the year was $103,025 64.

EIGHTY-FIVE ACRES In Shaler Township Brine 840,000 Ira Burchfleld Bays the Tract From Hugh - Miller-Other Big Deals Closed and Under Way Gossip and Sales, , Thubsdat, Oct. 20. One of the important sales mentioned in this column a few days since as being near the point of settlement was consummated to-day. Ira M. Burchficld purchased from Hugh Miller a tract of land containing 85 acres, situated in Shaler township, adistance of seven miles 'from Allegheny City, on the Pittsburg and Western Bnilioad, for $40,000. The prooerty adjoins the Johnson tract and the Butler plank road runs diroctly through the center of tbe land a distance or over 3,u00 feet. Tbe price paid ror tbe property is con sidered very reasonable, as it is but two miles from Sharpsburg, and with tbe com pletion or tho contemnlated extension of tho electric line tnlther realtv thereabouts will undoubtedly enhance somewhat in value. 0 A Little Gossip.

The Canadian Goldwin Smith Attacks Glad stone in a Newspaper Article. LONDON, Oct. 20. Prof. Goldwin Smith has written a letter, which is published in the Times to-day, commenting on Mr. Glad stone's recent article on home rule in the North American Rxiew. Pro Smith savs that among educated Americans the tradi tional hatred of England is dead. Among the masses it is dying out, bat what remains is kept alive by newspapers, stimulated by protectionists in their own interests. Hatred of everything English is effected in American politics for the sake of the Irish vote. Prof. Smith says: I have yet to see the American who really cares for the Irish cause or who clearly un derstands the meaning of home rulo. Amer ica's pretended love ror Sir. Gladstone Is nothing bnt hatred or England. Americans cannot help in their hearts spurning ths Englishman who, while holding Great Britain's highest trust, stabs her character in a foreign press.
