A bill bts passed tbe State Legislature

porating tbe tit. Petersburg Water Compa
ny, organized lot tbe purpose of forcing
water up from tbt Allegheny River through

How V srt Qcbkii. 'Now that the Free
Pipe bill bat become a law, -with lb exoep
tion of excluding Allegheny county, and the
charter of the South Improvement Company
baa oeen repealed, ids ruts burgh papers
are jnst beglnlng to realize that the oil pro
ducers of this region hive a good deal of
power, and thev also begin to realize that
the refining intoreste of that city are jeepar
dy consequently they set np a pitiful whine
that Is truly agonizing. When ruination
stared our people in the face through the
platting of the vile coosplrators composing
toe monopoly, toe i'lttsburgh press was as
silent as doath in regard to the subject, not
having even one word of sympathy for the
oil men. But now that tbe conspirator's
Utile game is blocked, and Pittsburgh is left
out in tbe cold as regards reunion oil, bow
exceedingly dear the producers have become
and bow mash the Pittsburgh papers do
love them until the next favorable oppor
tunity presents itself to stab them In the
backi Speaking of tba Free Pipe bill, the
Mail says:
The - Legislature recently passed a free
pipe law, but excluded Allegheny- county
from Us provisions. Bills were introduced
to remedy this, and give to Pittsburgh tbe
same privileges in this tespect as any other
refining point in the State. Mr. Ballaatine
in tbe Uonse, and Mr. Graham, in the Sent
oto, objected on Thursday to their passage,
representing that the oil trade ol Pittsburgh
did not desire a free pipe bill. On bearing
this tbe oilmen joined In a dispatch tbe
same nlgbt, laformlng them that this wss a
mistake, and that tbe entire oil trade de
manded the passage of tbe bills. The dis
patch was signed by every oil ma that
could .be reached in tbe limited time in
wbici to obtain them. We hope our mem'
bers will do Pittsburgh justice io tbls mat
ter, and simple justice demands the exten
sion of the free pipe law to this city. II
men are willing to invest money in pipes
that will benefit our city, there is no reason
why they should not have the privilege ol
doing so; and if other points are given tbe
right to lay pipes, why should not Pitts
burgh? Tbe present rates of freight are
ruinous to Pittsburgh, and tbe oil men say
that iftbey do not secure a pipe law they
most abacdun Pittsburgh aionce at a rellu-
lag peloi.-

Rockefeller, tbenoble Warden, end' other
members of tbat charitable Institution
known as tbe So. Imp. Co. Tbe Herald
says:
Saturday morning an adjoruned meeting
of oil refiners and dealers wa held at tho
office of W. II. Doan, to bear the report ol
tbn committee appointed to investigate the
condition and immediate necessities of the
men thrown out ot employment by the oil
troubles, and devil meaus for their relief.
As far as tbe committee were able tu learn
about two thousand men are out of employ,
ment, representing a population of from
eight to ten thousand. Careful inquiry has
shown that thus far only some forty fami
lies were actually in a suffering condition,
the great mass ot these men having been
sufficiect'y ptovident to have a little laid by
for time of need. It waa belleverl thai In
two or three weeks most of tbe men' wodld
be able to get work; Mr. David Short was
appointed a Committee to sollsit subscrip
tions and relieve tbe wants et the suffering.
Seven hundred and sixty dollars were sub-
scribed'on tbe spot.
With tbat generous liberality character
istic of tbe people of tbe oil region, tbe ar
ticle published in yesterday's Record in
relation to tbe destitute family at the mouth
of Tarr Run, has called firth a response in
tbe shape ol a substantial donation of pro
visions and other necessaries. Our friend
Armstrong, of tbe firm of Mease & A., took
the matter In band this moraine, with tbe
following result: IliW Parker doasted
a goodly quantity of meat; G W Kiug. Sr,
d; O F Scbonblom, groceries; Mease &
Armatrong, potatoes, flour aod meal; fl II
Warner, potatoes; Wni J McCray, sack of
me.il; Scbarmerborn & TenEyck, proviso
lout; J M Henry .tCo, do. Other parties
doaalea clothing, &c.
The teat of gratitude shed by lbs sick
man and toll worn wife at the receipt of so
generous a donation, amply recompensed
the donors. Such outbursts of sympathy
with tbe poor, prove conclusively tbere is a
goodly portion of tbe "nlk of human kind
nest' left among people yet.

Plating With Edged Too:.. Tbls Is
what usually comes of playing with edged
tools: A lellew np in Oregon thought he
would be smart and just bave a little fun
with a young lady on wbom be had waited
two or three times. lie asked her what she
would do If a nice looking young fellow
asked her to marry him. She smiled, oh,
so gushingly, and looked good enough' to
eat, but said nothing. Then be asked her
wbat she would say if he asked her to
marry blm. She threw ber arms areund
him, and rushed outof tbe room for bat and
sbawl. Tbe poor fellow says he was never
married so sadden in his life. Probably
that was tbe nearest she ever come to being
asked, and sbe thought fooling around with
sentiment would be dangerous.
Personal. Mr. John Q. Hamilton, long
eoanecled with the Central House of tbls
place In tbe capacity ef Superintendent,
has retired from that position te take the
same plaee in the Duncan House at Oil
City. Durlug his connection with tbe Cen.
tral Home, ly uniform courtesy and
attention to tbe wants aod comfort of the
guests of tbat popular hotel, Mr. II. has
made bosts of friends in this vioinity aod
throughout the oil region, who, while they
sincerely regret bis departure, will follow
blm with their best wishes for bis future
welfare and success In tbe battle of life.
We wish yen good luck, old boy, and
"May time wbo sheds histilight o'er all,
And daily dooms some joy to death,
O'er you let years so gently fall,
Tbey shall not crush one flower beneath.
As half in shade and half In sun
This world along it's path advances,
May tbat side tho sun's upon
Be all tbat e'er shall meet your glances.

powers and privileges conferred, uncertain
ty and in definite oharaeter, of the objects
intended and irresponsibility under said

ited powers, are the most remarkable in tbe
history of American corrupt legislation. II

A Deskhtkd Town. A few days sgo tbe
editor of a Western paper visited Meadow
Lake City. This city was once one or tbe
most famous of the mining towns, ne went
up on snow-shoes and took a look at the
deserted aud snow-covered place. The
homes which were only ono story in height
were covered to their tools with snow. Tbe
two story bouses were surrounded with
snow to tbe second stery. Not a living be
lag was to be seen by blm. He was mon
arch of that sunwy desolation. Signs
swung In tbe cold wind, and just grazed in
their swing the surface or tbe snow. Prom
inent among tbe signs wss that of a brok
er's offloe.gjust opposite tbe old ball of tbe
Board of Brokers. The large bolel tbere
was yet liiroiahed, and beds and bedding re
mained there. Our friend, standing In bis
snow-Bboes, gazed into tbe hotel while be
stood on the snow surface, level with tbe
second story, and be saw clean linen on the
deserted beds. He wanted to take a rest In
the eomfortatile looking quarters, but tbere
was no fuel or lood Io sight, and be bad to
go down lower to a ditch tender's cabin to
get fire aud appease bis hunger. Many or
tbe houses have this winter been broken
down by tbe weight or snow on their roofs,
but many more remain just as tbey were
when their owners left. Tbe property des
erted is safe, as cold and snow bsve locked
all against the depredations vf burglars.
