June 15, 1671.F0X
Dr.at Anvoun : It was not long
since that I took a jaunt, partly on
business and partly for pleasure, or
rather for curtoltity, as it would be
thought decidedly soft to go forpkas
ure, in the Websterian sense of the
term, anywhere in the Oil Region;—
as I was about to say, I tooka jaunt
around the entire circuit of what is
known as the " sapper oil field," which
inelude,s Tidioute, Pleasantville, Fa
gundas City, Oil City, Reno,,Frank
lin, Ronseville, Petroleum Centre and I
Titusville; and I bethought me that I
you " old folks at home,"— any of
on—Bari itever seen an oil well, tho'
yoo iaav have :oat-tied barrels of the
oil, and - know n.) more of the manner
of producing it, than ono knows of
the man in the moon. Now. I don't
wish to be egotistical, but I- take it
for granted that all,men are created
equal—and equally ignorant; and un
til one sees a thing his knowledge, if
he has any,.must be derived from in
formation.
••Come with me, friend Alvord, and
let's do this trip over again. My in
tention is to reach Franklin to-night,
so,I take the express train down the
Allegheny, at Tidionto at 1 o'clock
twenty-eight minutes, determined to
male the most of my forty-two miles
of ride to Franklin, which
,I shall
reach'at live o'clock this afternoon.
It is One of those lovely autumn days
that you see but a few times in the
year, when the sunlight lies in mel
low saffron-purple sheen over the
forests 'and valleys. The bustling lit
tle town of Tidioute lies on the north
bank of the Allegheny river ,twenty
miles below -Warren, and thirty-six
miles above Oil City, It is' all life
and animation, and in - common with
most of the "oil towns," there is a
large class of people whose time, like
that of those people Paul tells- of, is
continually spent in bearing or tell
ing something new. You know what
a perfect mania for news there was at
the 'time of the 'tvar : we were, all
monomaniacs on the subject of news.
It is somewhat so here now on the
subject of oil •
news; thia-may
seetii surpriSing to after so many
years of random speculations, of ex
haustions of pockets and territory ;
but remember, as the years go by,
new territory, new belts, aro struck,
and new men, or those who have got
rich—or - poor, else enere, pushon the
bold enterprises, and new excite
ments, local to a great extent it is
true, and prosperity and adversity,
excitement_ and depression, chase
each othef:over the country in never
ending alternation.
Tidionto is one of the oldest - oil
fields, es well as one of the richest.
Do yon observe.that high bill oppo
site the town, covered with tanks,
and derricks, and oil wells. That is
called Economite Hill, because a so
ciety called the " Eeonomites," owns
it. - trite peculiar feature - of ; their or
ganization is that they allos4-no mar
rying nor giving in marriage in their
camp. Now Ivhether that is economi
cal or not, might be a question still
open; and that it is biblical, and-eve
ry way adapted to man's social, reli
gious, moral and perpetual develop
ment, is flatly - contradicted by a re
fractory member now and then, who
' is-Arawn away by some daughter of
the outside' idolatrous world. As one
of the& remarked who had just aban
doned the society, and taken to him
self a very pretty "rib " : " I like: to
see the women have their rights.".i
Well, here comes the down train,
and as I was saying something about
the people being so crazy for news,
you will better tinderatand why there
is such a rush for the train—a crowd
which gets off, nearly or empty
ing the cars, another crowd which
gets on, rushing, struggling through
and over crowd No. 1, and another
crowd which comes to see if any - of
their friends are in the crowd that
I goes or - the crowd that comes. Here
we have the usual kissings (and that
is one of, the pleasures of leaving
town and i returning) of fond friends
who don'tlnow that they shall see
each other again till: to-morrow; : but

Virginia, Texas, and now, I believe,
in Ohio and Indiana also.
it is well to remember here, 'that
there are two distinct , kinds of
oil obtained in this country, walled
" illuminating
." • and " - lubricating.'
The names are sufficiently suggestive'
of the natures of each, or the uses to
which they are applied. They- are
sometimes called the "light oil," and
heavy, or grease oil. The former be
ing used for lights—being, when re
fined, nothing else , than 'ordinary
" kekosene oil," and the, latter_b,eing
used for lubricating thachinery in
factories , and mills, on car wheels,
nichifiery, etc., etc. And - when I
say that they arc "distinct kinds," I
do not mean to say that they have
noTroperties in - common, -but that
the combination of gasses, carbonic

Theinbricating oil is chiefly fond
in the:.• - • Franklin District," which is
n-boll.l.,,midway the oil field,. lying at
the eilianflnence of Viencb - Creek frith
the Alleglianv river, which creek
flows through a part of Crawford Co.
and Venango county, uniting; as I
said, with the. river at Franklin. The
belt - of oil above mentioned lies
across the counties (or across some
part of each of Warren, Crawford,
Venango, Clarion, Butler and Arm

kowns of Tidioute, Titusville, Pithole,

ing. The lubricating oil is found in
the " first sand," and, generally the-
" light Oil" in thethird, though there
are exceptions; but the two kinds are
not found in the same district,. and
while one seldom need go beyond
four or five hundred feet for the for
mer, the latter is often found at a
depth of twelve'hundred feet.
The days of fabulous and wonder
ful flows of oil, such as was . seep at
the old Pithole wells, "United States"
and " Grant well," are over. "Those
wells each produced more dtan a
thousand barrels per day, and .that 'I

The deposit of oil is made in a
porous rock called " sand rock,"
ithich is a rock stratum, seeming to
be conglomerate of silicions pebbles,

head of a pin to a thiekery..nut, And
all colors from white to black. •
The cost of putting down a well.
varies, with locality, from one thous
and to tl.nee thousand dobars.

The amount of lubricating oil pro

was about six thousand barrels. The
average datly'production of oils (lu

But this is the dark side of the
picture. Let us turn it round :- if
won't cost us any more to look at
the -bright side. The soil thi-oughotit'
the oil regions cold, thin, and poor
for farming purposes, and when some
poor old "buckwheat," as the natives
are called, found his farm underlaid
with oil, wasn't it enough' to make
him half mad" You have .heard• of
Coal,Oil Johnny, who is famous the
world over as the ";prodigal son'' of
the oil regions, who might now be
worth his, millions, but he spent his
sustenance in riotous living,, an as I
the Irishman said, so nught'•they
have said of him : " We ought to kill

five hundred to two thousand :dollars
per day; I and my wife were enjoy

"Is that the ' bright side' of the

"I came to find out the truth and

enough to dome unprepared: I am
armed,andif need be will sell my life

There was something so entirely
calm and possessed in the mariner of
the speaker,Ahat the group of des
perate men around him stood irreso
lute.for an instant..-: Such men—the
wolves of society—are ever co \vards
at heart. - -
"Yes. I came," he continued, "to

were, to the uttuost. particle. 'Yeti
are a gambler and a , counterfeiter,
and would have,basely- married my
only sister, as istire and innocent
girl as lives. Atd, - you• would have
still another, litle-- , that of murderer."
The tableau *as a striking one.
Nearly a score of men of lawless lives
and brutal passions were gathered
around' a frail, young man, whose.
face revealed the .firru resolves of a
soul sustained by the Iconsciousness
of right and trust in a higher power.
The scene was in an underground
room in tlm very heart of 'this great
city, and a reckless ,band made it
their resort. Bands that• are sworn
to the "mast inviolate secrecy -that
havelleirhailing signs, and grips,
and pass-words,as much as any lodge
ordained for purer purposes, exist in
every great city.-

Elt was into one- of these- Mania

chan s—was prepared for' anything
that co chi possibly come. - To take
the o tja.\ hich bad been offered him
and tuns :cape summary venganee
-
was not to thought of. -
And such a fusal raised him to
the dignity of a hero. His - death
would be that of a martyr in a holy
cause, and although the angels might
not prevent the sudden severing of
- the• golden cord, they could place up
on the spirit brow the crown of ever
lastinn immortality.
But the last taunt sealed his doom.
In an instant a half-dozen bullets
were buried in his flesh, and he . snuk
down in. a pool of his own blood.
He had given his-life to save 'his sis
ter from a dishonorable marriage and
and existence, of misery.
In the life-ofa, great city changes
Are frequent and rapid: To get the
corpse away and hide it from alLoyes
was work with which the -outcasts of
society were fam_ilig. More than
once before the unZetround wall of
that room had rung with the 'report
of pistols and death groans: By
ways known only. to the initiated,
they reach the streets, carrying the
dead•man in their arms as they go.
-The-river is not very far distant—
there is always a boat - at their corn-.
mead—the muddy water will hide all,
evidence of their crime, or if the
:corpse is found it will be np unusual•
'thing, and cannot be traced to them.
" What Rive you got there ?asked
a sleepy policeman, as he `saw., them
staggering along the halfilinhted
streets. t
"Only one of the' -boys that has
managed to get dead drunk," was the
answer.;
"What are yen • going to do with
him?"
"Take him. hiame. 'He's a right
good fellow, and' we wouldn't like to
have • him wake up - in list:at:ion-house."
- go along, and mind that
-you don't make, any noise. -If you
do I shall have,to . be after-you."

They:soon reached the river—plat'

Ont they pulled into the stream.
The lights ,were- shining :from the
windows of the unsleeping city—
the moon shed's silker lustre around;
but - the water was black dae,rieath
them.
In the -middle of -the strewn' they
slid the corpse overboard, andipulled.
array rapidly. But there was anotir
er boat, containing a few" - -men, at a )
short distance. They sae; that some
thing had Wen consigned to the
depths, and Watched for, it to rise
again: - By theirside it did so. . 1
"My God! it is a man,:-' cried one.
"Yes; and - a murdered Om. Lift
him into the boat." -
It was done, and the first speaker
continued:
"We are too late to save. his life,
but not too late for justice. Lot 'us
follow and arrest them."
" You must• - •be mad. What ! fol-:

well for that." •
"I did" not: thiul - that von were n
coward." -
:"Neither` am I. Any sang man
will look to his own safety. It is
only a fool that 'madly rushes into
danger." -
A rapid consultation decided them
to follow at a distance and find some
o!ue, if posaible, to the perpetrators
of the foul, deed. ,
But the boat was strongly manned
and soon shot out of sight, and when
the pursuers landed, the pnraued
were already lost amid the mitt, of
'the great city. , •
And another change followed very
swiftly. W wl,o had been the cause
of the '(:aatu of Martin ,Ebberti, was
