Sneaklne. of the recent failure of Fisher
Brothers, of Oil City, the Plttebargh Mil'
eye:
The business community ef Pittsburgh
in somewhat startled yesterday by tbe re
port of tbe failure of the Fltber Brother),
one of the largeat operator! In petroleum Id
tbe country. Tbe bouw bat been In exist
ence almost ftom tbe discovery of petroleum
and a mo deet buiinene at the beginning bad
spread to one extent. Tbe Arm bare
office In Oil City, Tidlonte and Pittsburgh
with agent la natnerou other centers of tbe
oil trade. Tbey own extensive tract or
producing ten llory and b eve been among
tbe most fortunate of those, who, during the
past few yeat have tacceeded la "striking
oil." Tbey also did a very large speculs
tlve business in both red led and crude oils
operating extensive In "future, " and gener!
ally being on lb "bull" side. At tbe be
ginning of tbe preaenl year tbe Arm went
into a tremendou operation In orude oil
Tbey bought lor a rise hundred of thous
and of barrels, and a the market, instead
of developing buoy ance began to weaken,
continued their pnrohaee with tbe hope ol
stimulating II. The purobaie were for
monthly deliveries soatlered all through the
year. During the month of Juno the firm
settled losses to tbe amooot of $60,000, and
during July over $50,000. Tbe market stilt
weakened, however, aod teeing that to coo
tioue Ibe operation would probably swarm
them, tbey yesterday concluded to suspend
business, and by obtalolng an extension, If
possible, realise from Ibeir property, close
their outstanding accounts with the hope of
eventually continuing legitimate operation.
Their Indebtedness I plaoed at considerably
over a million dollar. Their asset are
large, and If opportunity I allowed them to
realize tbe lull value of their properly, it I
said, they may pay one hundred cent on
tbe dollar. Tbe firm ha always been con
sideredsone of the most reliable In tbe busi
ness, and for honest dealing and personal
integrity no meo of Jthe trade have stood
higher. It I lb wish of Ibe entire trade
that tbey will soon be able to resume

dsy mornlog tbe "big still," owned by the
Uarbon Oil Company, wat destroyed by Ore
together with lit content, There were
about Ave hundred barrel of oil In II at tbe
lime, and this, together with tbe damage to
Ibe still Heel I, bring tbe lot rp to about
$5,000. Tha bo Hem, engine, pumps, con
denser, tanks, brick work, etc., escsped
almost without Injury. Tbe cause of tbe
explosion is, In our opinion, mere conjec
ture', as the oil bad not been beated to more
than 100 , and Ibe still was in Ibe aol o
being filled when tbe explosion look place,
Immediately Inveloptng tbe whole tbiog in
ilames. With tbetr characteristic energy
tb firm have already given order for get
ting tbe still to work again wbicb will be
In four or Bve week. Tbey have decided 1
substltut lout 600-bnrrel stills for tb one
