Petroleum Centra looks very quiet. Trav

Tbe above notice we ollp from tbe Titus
vllle Herald ol Saturday morolng, written
by Uncle William, In bis note from tbal
City to Irvineton.
We are quiet, but does that excuse the
faot of Tltusvllle's fate. Let Uoele Wll
Ham' give ut a few notes about bis own
place, its deserted streets, Its. faded and
worn appearance, or as a reoeot visitor to
that village expressed himself
'I (eel like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose I jots bave fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but be (Uncle William) de
parted." i

Is good coming from a cltlzn and paper o
Titusville, whose bill boards, fences and
bouses are literally covered with sheriffs'
eales, and whose citizens, II reports are
true, are distressed far greater than those
ol their neighbors te get tbe wberewitb to
make ends meet.
Traveling troupes "seldom stop here."-
If Uncle William means thealrloal troupes,
we say lhauk tbe stars that they keep away
from us as It leaves that muob more money
with us to pull through tbe hard times,
that Titusville does not feel (T).
We bave bad some troupes here this sum
mer and fall, and without an exception,
Ibey bave had better bouses here aod re-
umveu more money man they look to at
litusvllle, with half the expense. In fact
what Ibey took in here bad to belp make
what they were out of pocket at tbe city of
huge pretensions at least we have the ipse
uixu oi their agents for saying so. .
roasiniy uncle William bas no rofereosl
to thealrloal troupes, but to those troupes
uirmu iuuub, wnose Clothes were
unpaid for, that used to stop off bere from
Titusville, and visit tbe "buzzlog kens,"
too dance bouses and dead falls at the up.
per end of Washington street, aod although
we do not miss Ihem, they seldom stop bete
now, for that part of tbe Centre looks quiet
the denizens having as a general thing
moved lo Titusville in order to save the

A man named Foster was arrested in this
city on Saturday, on susplolon ol bis beiog
the murderer ol Williams, who was sliot
near Oil City last Friday. He was sein to
start away with the colored mm, but could
not be found alter the body had been ills
covered. Detective Tom furlong, or U 1
City, suspecting foul play", started In search
ofbim. He was traced lo Peiro'enm Cen
Ire, where he bad said William's sun, wbicb
he bad changed lor bis own. From there
he came to Titiisvillle where he was found
and arrested. A number of articles weie lo
bis possession which were Identified as be
longing to tbe murdered man, and are
Strong, circumslantioal evidence against
bim. The prisoner was sent to Oil City to
await trial Titusville Herald.
Tbe prisoner's right name is Charles Lar
ribee, bis step father being named Foster, a
well known resident of Funkville and Pio
near. Larrlbee is well known nere as a
hard customer. Tbe examination is not
concluded as yet. Tbe testimony so far is
of a damaging nature !'. Larrihee
Judging Irom a view woicb we bad last
night, we should tbiok that "rheumatism
lo tbe hair" would be tbe prevailing dis
ease to-day. Somebody evidenlty thought
he bad got into tbe wrong bouse, sad it
took a heap of argument to convince bim
lo tbe contrary. And then again somebody
wanted to get Into tbe bouse, and we should
judge he weul In by the window. People
who went to bed early woke up aod though
mass meeting was being held oo tbe side
walk. It ain't often the prodigal returns,
we know, but don't get too enthusiastic;
don't get out on tbe street to discuss prob
lems of polioal economy lo tbe night; don't
tear folk's clothes; above all don't throw
your tor a clothes away tut you nave
emptied tbe pockets, aod don't let your
party get scattered so that you bave to ca
tor them so loud.

Ca'led to our attention, a few days sine
was a very curious fact, and one too, on
wi'icb much information can be vouch
safed if those imeiesled were so disposed
The aiiHStiou is tbis: "How is it that a few
mogliia ago Ibere was a cry ef over-prudnc
lion, with no tankage at all, while at tbe
present writing Ibete Is tbe same cry that
the daily production is in excess ol the de
maud, snd yet no one thinks of saying that
there is not doubt e ibe tankage necessary
fur all Ibe oil prouduced? Why is It that
when 23UOO barrels of oil par diem Oiled all
tbe tMiks in tbe county, that 30,000 barrels
tbe amount stated by so-called reporters,
does not locoovenience any one? Vt'bile
no one asserts that there has beeo a parti
cle more tankage erected than bas been
takeu down?"
Aiiaiu we are asked: ''Are not the d if
ferenl Pipe Lines concentrating tbeir en.
eries to bear tbe markeis? Have tbey not
been buying indirectly, torcance quantities
