Centre.
We have heretofore referred to the scur
rillous atlncks made upon our village by
persons either deeply Interested in our wel
fare, or nnlenlly desirous lo appear in print,
lut the Meadrille Republican of last week
"cava the climax' in this particular by de
voting a whole column lo an article copied
from the Buir,iIo Express, containing state
ments unknown to the citizens of this cum
uiunity, and evidently, or at least apparent
ly, penned with an air or little respect for
il ir ..
m weiiurs or mo town, as the tone of
the article would indicate that our town Is
made up ol roughs and prostitutes, and in
consequence I here is but little respectability
In our roidat. Tho article says:
"The town of Petroleum Centre being
without a local Government, bus become
the beadqtinrtcrs of a hoide of on I casts from
society of both sexes, who have been driven
Irom the large cities on account of their
crimes, or by their necessities."
The writer must either have been writing
sguinst time, or his tml "asei mind allowed
hitn to spread the mantle of prejudice seem
ingly over an entire community, as we are
to iurer from bis matchless produclion,
that but few aside from those de
scribed in the above extract, compose the
village of Pelt-oleum Centre. The editot of
the Meadrille Republican has ignorently en
dorsed these assertion l-y the publication
f them, and lheyre, in toto, .reiterations o!
111. Tilllk.Mll.. IT 1.1 41... I.'.. . .
vi.ciinu, iUO miiur journal a
61101 ' "" "'nee having published some
thing to the same effect. This is a great
wrong upon the respeclnblo people of Pe
troleum Centre, and we are surprised that
respectable journals should lend their ool-
nruus te traducing neighboring towns. We
have roughs aud prostitutes in our midst as
does every oil town, but we do not cousid
der oittselvi-s behind Meadvillu or Tilusville
in IblH particular, but the infcreice that our
town is nude up ol them, is an insult upon
a large population of respectable peep If,
nnd our duty as a journalist will not allow
us lo lot it puss unnoticed.
This borioifying writer further says th.it
young girls are enticed from their homes in
Jtuirlo and other jilaces under pretense of
respectable employment at high wages, and
are put into Concert Saloons, and in must
eases are 'ruined in a few (hurt hours.
No doubt the Concei t Saloons referred to
have tome ol the oldest young glila from
Buffalo (Canal Street) who, if ruined within
a few short hours, (ala time ogune, ) uiiut
have leq'ilred'i a- great uWof urging nml
In If e representations lo entice them Irotn the
-gilded mans qns" ol that notorious street !
He further plate thai 'Keno is in its glory,
and the Mveat-boaid, cards and dice are
well patronized." Now Petroleum Centre
is nut so liiru but what if the t.vo first men
tioned games were in operation, it would be
generally known, but our citizens art) iti Ig
norance, of their exUtcnce, unil wo pro
nounce the accusation filler. Cajds and
d.cn are found everywhere, even in tho
quiet towns of Muadvillo and Titusville.
The article further sajs:
Within the lui-t six weeks certainly no
less than llvu respectable girls, and prob
ably more, huve been lured into saloons by
lulnu promise. Turee of Ilium effected thoir
i fCn,H iiliiu a diyor iwo tiller euteiing
t'.e milimi.s, and by the aid of sympathizing
citizens they obtained vo;k in lintels and
private lumseu in lYIroleiiiu Centre. Four
I the ii !s mclucliii;;' ibo two that are no
in tint mii.iihf iv.iM hired at an iutell:-gi-nce
oli,ce in Tii.li'ulii. wli. ru the parents
id the'g'ila ne now living "
jus.meniw... an Jc.r venecre wTmrrt luwc:
It would seem that if melt occurrence
lind taken place id our midst, our citizens
would have known something of them. Who
nro Ilia families that these giris ma now
with All these things area blank to thn
citizens of retroletiiu Centre, still it I as
serted they sousht for and obtained protec
tion in private families! No doubt such as
sistance could always bo obtained of our citi
zen!. If ever a circumstance occurred where a a
siitance was needed. The same article ipeaktf
of highway robberies that, it claims, bare
occurred within a few days right here with
in our midst, still our citizens are in bliss
ful ignorance of anvthinzol the kind! It is
in Petroleum Centre as in other places, t
roan may visit a saloon, become intoxicnt
ed, and then abusive, and there are always
those present with whom he can get a
"pitch battle." No man walks our streets
in an orderly manner who is ever molested.
Tho '-reign ol terror" which the writer of
the article Bays exists among property own
ers, which debaru them from tuking any ac
tion to restore 'daw and order" is the most
severe rain we havo had this season! A
person would think, to read the vocabulary
of words in the article, that the rain pour
ed! We have seen no umhrellns out in
consequence of the srorai, and every prop
erty holder considers himself safe in his own
domicile! Wo will admit that Petroleum
Centre has its vices, and no one would re
joice at their obliteratiun more limn our
selves, and whore is there a town that have
them not? Our oflicers nro respected citi
zens, and their vigilance does much to keep
down any desire to create disorder nmoug
that class who Indulge In "high toned"
threats with a boisterous tongue. But no
tongue has been more boisterous tlmti bus
the writer's alluded to, as hia highly, eolor
ed paintings of Petroleum Ce.Strc are with
out comparison, a negative tiindjs.'lo' com
pare with the hrigfil colors.'nj sun
Such articles, were they not refiijkl yould
lead those at a distune to believelbrt their
lives were in danger, ihouk) ttfc'y sfep their
foot hi our midst, and lOjiMi reason, no
person who has any interest in our bnsiness
prospects, except to deitroy th?n , would ever
Hctionizt a fallacy in sj disgraceful and un
becoming a manner. A word about this
Special Police Bill, and we are done.
The bill authorizes our Court to ap oint
Ibre. jCommi-iioners,away the power to i-sue
warrants and to appoint a police force. The
citizens spoken ol by this writi r, who have
urged the passage, may look upon it in a
light for doing good in arresting crime, but
another feature is to lake any power ol ar
rest from where it now exists, an 1 delegate
It to cthcif! Tho bill has a local interest!
The olijeat of its passage, In the minds of
the general public, Is pood, nnd if In pro-
vision'Jare fully carried out, It will pore ben
eficial. For the gratification of our readers we
publish below the article In full as taken
from tho Meadrille Repiian:
Crime In tho Oil Rer4q:t.
Frwn the Movi'le Pspub'.iean. tj '
The Senate of PenVaylvaula T"ssad, en
the 5th, a bill to provide a police-force fur
Petroleum Centre, one br the nil towns
of Vennngo Comity. The annexed state,
uients, copied from the Buffalo Fxpresj,
shone the need for this provision in which
the speedy concurrence of the House is to
be hoped far:
Wo published some time since, at tho re.
quest of a certain clergyman of Petroleum
Centre, Pa., a card warning the community
against scoundrels who have been making
a practice of ind'icin,-; young girls in Buf
falo, and elsHwheie, to leave their home
under prom's of high wa.jea as hotel waiters'
and the forcing them to adopt a lire or
shame. The Tilusville Herald gives further
details nf the operations or tlieso scoundrels.
It pays that the town or Petroleum Centre,
being without a local government, hm be
come the headquarters of a horde of outciists
Irom sociely, of both sexes, who have been
driven from the large citiea on account of
tho crimes or by their necessitiea. Preemi
nent among the crimes are Hume committed
by tho proprietors of tw. vile lntiiuiioiu
known a free concert loloona or ''free a id
ensys." t whicn they have time and a uii
brought respectable but needy young girls
under the pretext of employing them as
hotel wail ivssea, and placed them in tuch
si'.iintl inn as to make thoir ruin inevitable
unless they were unusually courageous, or
got asf istance from citi.iem or tho Centre.
The frequenters or these saloons, or "free
and easys," are made upjof theilowtst clss
of'-sperts," gamblers, pimps, tlncklegs and
outcasts generally, with such other persons
us ussy bo attracted to them hy curiosity or
by a desim to j jin the orglrs which are kept
up to a late hour nightly. The waitresses,
or im tlyy are called in the slang of the
place. '-Iieer flinders,"' uro, in most cases,
professional prostitutes, in the-e saloons
every speeies of debauchery lluuriehu lie
der bad whisky and worse women, and at
tains a growth uud vigor unknown outside
the eluiuns of the great citiej. It is to
thesu places, rooking as t hey ire with every
thing I hut is foul, nnd containing within
them nil thn elomonl of h,;dily and spiritual
rnln. that tlic9e men bring respectable lint
i needy youcr; girls from neighboring cilie3
by some plausible story about waiting on
tabid in hotels at high wages. But that is
not the worst, Tor everything hut persoonl
violence, (and for ail we know, that loo,) is
used to keep them there, and if they sue
ceed in getting away, the lies and calumnies
of their deceivers follow them wherever
they may go.
It frequently occurs that when the girls ar
rive at the saloons they are without money,
and con soquently without means of return
ing whence they came, and unless they re
celve asaistanco Irom outsido the saloon,
their ruin is only a question of a few hours.
The paltry sums tnat these girls get per
weak are withheld from them if they show
any desire to escape, and applied on rea
or Imaginary charges which the proprietors
of the saloons are never at a loss to find
against tbem. Thus, eveiy art is used to
lure next to helplees young girls into the
saloons, and then, to make of tbem profes
sional prostitutes, to destroy thrm body
and soul, every avenue of escape is barred.
Within the last six weeks certainly no
less than five respectable girls, and probab
ly more, havo been lured into saloons by
false promises. Three of them effected their
escape within a day or two after entering
the saloons, and, by aid of sympathizing
citizens they obtained wsrk in hotels ami
private houses in Petroleum Centre. Four
of the girlr. including the two that are now
jn the saloons were hired nt nn in! 'Iligem 0
oCice in Buffalo, where the parents of the
gir!s are now livinj.
The facts we have just given org the worst
features of crime at Petrolenm Centre, but
they are by no means all. Attacked either
directly or indirectly, er as hangers into
I ho free and easys, and to othertinstilutions
equally bad, and lo tho low grogg -ries and
bagnios, aw rt hordti of cut throats and
thieves who together with njoter gamblers
ol every grade, from tho closely shared sect
down to the half shaved looking pitch-penny
fellows, prey upon society.
ICenoJs In its glory, and sweat boanls.dice
and cards are well pntronized, and scarcely
a day passes without some one telling a
doleful story of losses the night previous.
During the past ten days not less than four
highway robbirles and assaults have been
committed, as in one case tho -victim wa
dangerously beaten. The stato of affairs at
the Cuntro '.1)1.8 becomo intolerable. De
bauchery and crlnw of every desrriplkn
are rampant. The parasites of society are
banded together in mo common brother
hood for the defence of themselves against
the. laws which they break with impunity,
and which are wbuliy inadequate tirll.o
protection of life aud properly. These
things have brought about a regin r,f teiror,
and it is with tho inmost difficulty that tho
property owners or thn place can be ioduei d
to lake any prominent part in any action
looking towaid to suppression or puni
inent of crime. Tho deputy sheriff, Ikk
juslieo of the peace, and constable nt Petro
leum Centre do eveiy thing iu their power'
to preserve peace and good order, but their
eli'jrU avail but little under the existing
laws and tho combination ol law-breakers.
The citizens of the place nn l vicinity have
petitioned tl-e legislature to puss a bill au
thorizing the appaintin-nl of police (omuiis
(toners and of any number of policemen l! c
commissioners may deem neeessK,iy, the
maintaining of a lock-up, nnd giving the
commissioners the nulhotity usually delegat
ed to pulico eourls. Jf ho lejislaiurn will
piisa this bill, crinm at Petroleum Centre
will receive a blow from which it will nev
er recover, and the Centre will beiom i as
orderly a town as any i:Ler In Uio Slate.
