Fire at an Oil Refinery
Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock,
afire broke out at the oil refinery of Brooks,
Ballentine & Co., in Temperanceville,
which threatened fora time to result in the
destruction of the works. It seems that
one of the stills, which was tilled with
about five hundred barrels of oil in pro.
cuss of refining, sprung a leak, by which
a stream of oil was poured down into the
fire of the furnace causing an instant con
flagration. The fire in the furnace was ex
t nguisbed as quickly as possible, which
had the effect of diminishing the flames
somewhat; but it was not entirely quenched
until the oil had been completely de
stroyed. we , were unable, to ascertain the
amount of loss or the insnrance, but it is
supp-sed to be considerable.

- tween the ime of Pennsylvania (now Fifth)
avenue and the ?donongahela bluff and
striking the present , East Liberty road

Mass Meeting in Allegheny—Enthusiastic
Turn-Out—Speeches of Messrs. Mackrell,
Bayne and Lucas. -
A large and enthnsiastic meeting of,the
Republicans of Allegheny City was held
last evening at the stand in, the Allegheny
Diamond. The Germania Brass Band was
in attendance and enlivened the occasion at
intervals with excellent music.
At half-past even o'clock the meeting
came to order, with the following list of
officers:
President—John A. Jennings.
Mr. Jennings,on taking the chair, return
ed his thanks for the compliment in a few
pertinent remarks, and introduced H. C.
Mackrell, Esq.
Mr. Mackrell commenced by congratu
lating the audience on tho large turnout,
which he considered an indicaticin that the
masses of Allegheny were (fully awake to
the issues of the hout, and would do their
duty in the coming contest. He then en
tered into a lengthy review of the record
of the principal standard bearer - of the
DemoCracy, showing that duringand since
the war, by his public utterances, his pub
lished letter., his votes and acts, on all oc
casions, he had proved himself in sympa
thy with the principles which instigated
the rebellion with all its dire calamities to
the country. The Democratic platform next
occupied his attention fur a short time.
He argued that it was a tissue of glittering
generalities and misrepresentations, which
only the Democracy could swallow. It
states that all the acts done by Congress in
the way of reconstruction are revolution
ary, unconstitutional and void, although
history. records the fact that they were
passed and ratified in the regular constitu
tional method,by a constitutional majority,
and in strict accordance with the provisions
of that immortal document. The Demo
cracy Are equally inconsistent on the bond
question, about which they harp so much.
In their platform they say-that the bonds
shall be paid in greenbacks, while ti ley have
nominated a man for their candidate and
as the exponent of their principles who ex
presses himself emphatically and unequiv
ocally in favor of paying the bonds in gold,
according to the contract. The reason of
their inconsistency here is very apparent
—they have two purposes to serve. They
are divided among themselves. A large
majority of their adherents h;dding bonds
anxiously efiquiro - what is to be done
with the Government securities? Pay them
in gold, the only just and honest method
of disposing of them, says Seymour. But
the remainder of the party who own no
. bonds ask also, what will you do with the
bonds? How shall they be paid? In green
backs, of courte: read the platform, is the
answer, and by having two strings to their
bow, they are ende ivoring to win in the
present contest. The speaker continued
at some length and closed with an earnest
appeal fo all present to go to work actively
and immediately and labor that the designs
of these sympathizers of the rebellion be
trustrated.
Col.-Thomas M. Bayne was announced as
the second speaker, bur not having arrived
Mr. Gourley took the stand sud made
an address of about ten minutes' length.
. Mr. Gourley said he bad never made a po
litleal speech in his life, but that the times
in which we live demand from every man
sober thought and active work. 'l'o-day
Republicanism is on its, travels, and if it
fails the star of Liberty which has shone so
brilliantly will be forever blotted from the
firmament, and the blackness of daik night
envelope the rights of humanity.
The gentleman proceeded in this elo
quent style for a few minutes, and closed
by urging all to earnest exertions in behalf
of the loyal candidates, Grant and Colfax.
Col. Thos. M. Bayne was next introduced
. and made an address of more than an
hour's length, in which he .reviewed the
i issues of the day in the light of past his
! tory, 'which-was the only true method of
examining it. He showed clearly that the
principles at stake in the present contest
i were the same as those which - had engaged
! the attention of our fathers in the organi
i zation of the Government, and which
had demanded the consideration of our
statesmen ever since that period. The
; Colonel held the audience in rapt attention
I throughout the course of his speech. and
handled his subject in a manner which be
spoke much reflection and careful consid
, eration. We attempt no synopsis of this
masterly effort, feeling that a partial re - -
port would but do the speaker injustice.
1 At the close he was rewarded with three
j cheers, given with a will by the audience,
1 after which B. F. Lucas, Esq., in response to
loud calls, appeared and entertained the
audience for a few - minutes in a well
timed and appropriate address,ln which he
' made several happy allusions to the ground
swell in Vermont in favor of Union and
Liberty, which .were received with hearty.
applanae. - .
At the conclusion of Mr. Lucas' speech,
the, meeting adjourned with three cheers
for Grant and. Colfax.

PITTSBURGH- GAZETTE : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1868.
PITTSBURGH STEW,.
Another Test of the. Park, Brothers .S.; Co.,
i Steel Plate Boller.
.. There have been within a few weeks past
several tests of a boilar made out of the
,
steel 'turned forth from the celebrated
works of Park, Brothers & Co., which have
,
attracted much attention from the scienti
.
fie. The boiler undergoing a series of tests
was manufactured out of ordinary plates
furnished by these works, in the best style
of workmanship of Carrol Snydet, and
although no extreme pressure, such as will
satisfy the Messrs. Park, has yet been attain
ed, still the fact has been fully established
that The material of which the boiler is made
cannot be surpassed: by any in use in
the world. Previous to these experiments
being made, there were among our most
skilled and thoughtful mechanics, en-1
gineers and scientiticians, many who took'
very 'small stock in the adaptability of
steel to general boiler making. But those
trials have melted away the most plausible
objections, and beyondperadventure Park,
Brothers & Co. have established that they
have struck upon the exact quality of ma
terial for boiler use, and none: are longer
dubious or unwilling to acknowledge this I
fact. If such steel as that we have wit
nessed with our . Own' eyes with
stand repeated hydraulic pressures va
rvin from five hundred to — seven
liunred and twenty pounds, is employed
in b iler making, an accident or explosion
wou d be simply out of the range of prob
abili ies. 1 At the test, held August
i f
22d, a pressure of 665 pounds was reached,
and on the occasion of the second 720
pounds was touched, giving a tensile strain
on each square inch of 74,000 pounds! The
pressure could not be increased, inasmuch
as the hydraulic force pumps hi the city
were wholly inadequate for the occasion.
The only effect witnessed at the first test
was a swelling of the upper plates, increas
ing the circumference several inches,
and in this demonstrating the duc
tility of • the steel. Singular Ito say,
after the pressufe was withdrawn the
plates contracted, shovring movable elasti
city. Yesterday the same boiler under
went another violent test, but the pressure
could not be got above five hundred and
fifty pounds. Other experiments will fol
low, as the boiler must be burst if pumps
are specially imported for the pur
pose. It is an object of no little
importance to the world at large that
such a boiler has been produced, and the
tests to which it has been Subjected have
attracted wide attention everywhere.
Messrs, Park, Brothers. & Co. deserve the
greatest praise for their steady efforts in
the direction of producing for boiler making
a material that will stretch and draw and
resist the greatest pressure possible before
bursting. The test will be renewed in a
few days, of the due progress of which we
shall keep our readers advised.
Trouble Among' the Night Sellers
Alderman NeiWe's cosy little ollice on
Robinson street, Allegheny, was thronged
yesterday with the principals, witnesses
and spectators of a case involving the right
of the night soiling profession to empty or
discharge the contents of their vehicles into
the Allegheny River in front of Bradley's
Woolen Mill, below the St. Clair street
bridge.
It seems that the business of the night
seller's, though a very necessary and im
portant o s enctrumasSed with some dif
ficulties, the t . 'a ttidable of which ap
pears_ to be the disposal of the article dealt
with. From time to time efforts have been
made to surmount this difficulty, first by
fixing upon a rt gular place for the deposits,
and for this purpose, that part of the river
adjacent to Smoky Island was chosen.
Atter a short trial of this method
objections were made to it by the
Property holders and residents in the
vicinity, and it had tor be abandoned. The
matter next received the 'consideration of
Councils, and the construction of a tint
boat Wits authorized, Whirl' with one end
moored to the shore anal tkkie other extend
ing out into the river would expedite the
discharge of the stuff bite the deep cur
rent of water, by which it would be carried
away. This plan was found to work some
what better, but still the difficulty was not
surmounted, as upon whatever part of the
river the flat was placed objection was
made to it
. by residents in the vicinity.-
After being moved around front place- to
place, everywhere meeting with the same
trouble, which, like Poe's "Raven,"
haunted it • continually, it was finally
located below the St. Clair Street
Bridge, in front of Bradley's Mill, and
those interested were congratulating
themselves on reaching the end of their
persecuti n,when the pleasant delusion was
dispelled by the present suit. The ease
came up for a hearing yesterday morning,
Mr. Bradley appearing as the prosecutor,
and Christian and John Friend, Jno. Bor
ers, Peter Kestoff and William Henry the
defendants. On the side of the prosecution
a number of witnesses were examined, the
substance of whose testimony was that the
odor borne upon the breeze from the vicin
ity of the flatboat was to say the least quite
the reverse of odoriferous. The argument
on the other side was to the effect that
"De machine hab been moved from dis
yah place and dat yah place, but without
satisfyin' de people, who 'pear to want de
trade 'molished." - "Yah, yah, dat .1s
shust de tang," unanimously murmured
the four Teutonic gentlemen in endorse
ment of their sable eolleagne's view. Not
withstanding this emphatic and compre
hensive statement of. the situation, tee
prosecutor insisted upon his demand, that
the nuisance should at once be abated, and
after a conference of theprofession, in
which Teutonic and African logic harmoni
ously commingled, the demand wart agreed.
to, the requisite promises for the future
given and the suit withdrawn.
Alleged Extensive Larceny—Further
Particulars
We stated on Wednesday that a man had
been arrested at the Union. Depot on the
arrival of the Cincinn l ati Express, the day
before, by officer FlOyd Book, on a telegram
received from Altoonalcharging him with
larceny., We have received the followin4
particulars: It is.alleled that the prisoner,
It
whose name is W. . Griffiths, stole. three
diamond studs, a gold Watch, chain and lock
et and five hundred collars in money from J.
L. Rogan, of New York. It seems the two
were visiting Cape May together, and wore
quite-intimate. Rogan first discovered his
loss, which ho estimates at two thousand
dollars, after his friend had left, and he
immediately started in search of him.
Ho kept track of the fugitive to
Altoona, awl there learned that he - had
shipped Pitt,burgh. Griffith had given
a note to'a colored-porter at the hotel, in
structing him to ship his .trunk to Pitts
burgh on Wednesday • morning, where he
would be to receive it. Tho officers dis
covered this arrangement, and being thus
furnished with a clue to . the Where
abouts of I their ! man, they tele
raphed with the result as published..
The officer who took the prisoner in charge
after his arrest at the depot, while waiting
in the depot master's room for the East
ern train, saw the chap endeavoring to bide
the watch and chain behind the sofa, Ile se
cured these articles, which at once con
firmed the dispatch. At Altoona he nriade
a confession to the officer regarding Itbe
whereabouts of the rest of the Jew
elry, which he had secreted between
the seat and back of the sofa upon Which
he was sitting while waiting for the train.
Upon his arrival home yesterday officer
Bell searched the place j indicated and dis
covered the missing articles.
The fellow gives no !reason for his be
trayal of confidence,further than that he
was intoxicated and not what he was
about.
The prisoner was removed from Altoona
to Philadelphia to await - the arrival of Mr.
Rogan from New York.
One Hundred Guns in Honor of the Green
Mountain State—lmposing Procession.
Allegheny county, through her banner
district, the Old Second Ward, responded
last night to the thunder heard -rolling
from the blue hills of Vermont, and sent
1
iv-echoing among the hills the sound of
rejoicing which will be caught up and
borne on every wind to the remotest cor
ners of our country. It was not proper
that such a glorious victory as that
achieved in Vermont should be per
mitted here, in the citadel of Repub
licanism and loyalty, to pass unnoticed,
for, regarded in any light, it is an en
couraging event which will strengthen
and solidify the Union ranks, and turn
thousands of wavering citizens into the
broad straight pathway of patriotism.
Hence it was that the Second ward
cessio and a salute of a hun
dredimpro-
tvised a pro
guns for las evening. Nearly all day
yesterday the me hers of the Grant Club
of that district'(and bythe way the pioneer
organization of the character in the United
States) busied themselves in making prepa
rations for the spontaneous display of the
evening. At eight o'clock the members
formed at Wilkins Hall in line of
lirpro
cession, and, p eceded by a mounted
field piece dra vn by four horses, pa
raded the va ions streets. Luding's
famous brass b nd was in the adiance
and was closely followed by the Second
Ward Glee Club The members, some - two
hundred in num er, in their neat uniforms
and bearing glee ing torches, brought up
the rear. As t e procession moved the
heavens were ke t aglow with fire works
sent up by them mbers in line, and upon
the whole the aff *r was one of the most en
thusiastic of t e campaign. The club
brought s up at he Monongahela wharf,
where . *.it was p posed to a.ct the salute,
but it was f and that the gun had
been spiked ' b some evil disposed
person and , was eless. Nothing daunted,
the club telog aphed through F. B.
Pennithan, Esq. to the Secretary of
War, Gen. J. M. Esq.,
for an order on
the commandant of the Allegheny Arsenal
for the use of two pieces of artillery. The
Secretary promptly responded, giving the
authorization, and at nine o'clock a.squad
of experienced artillerists undercommand
of Captain W. B. Cook, Lieut. Collier and
Captain John Floyd, were dispatched to the
Arsenal with the order and soon returned
with the guns, from which, at regular
intervals, one hundred rounds were tired on
the Monongahela wharf.
The impromptu celebration was highly
creditable to the Second ward and to our
citizens generally. At the still hour of mid
night, as the sound of V° guns rolled and
re-echoed among our hills, thousands listen
ed and felt that the stnrdy sons of Vermont
would meet in. October with a resp , nse
from Pennsylvania, which would in a more
expressive way assure them that the nation
admires and follows the noble example
they have set. -

Another way to show the production, a 1046

We think about as reliable as . any, is to
take the . shiprnents by the Pipe Line (and
there is 'and has been no other way of
transpor ation) together with the amount
of oil on. hand.
Tito ifollowinct table shows the amount of
petroleum shipped through the pipe during
the present month, up to the 27th, together
with the amount on hand.

To Pithole '1,040 "
In tank at wells._ ' 12,870 "
Total

Now provided there' was no oil on hand
on the tiist of August; the average daily
production would be 1,300 barrels, for the
twenty-seven days ending August 27 But
the average cannot be so great, because
there must hive been a large amount of oil
on hand on the first the month. look at
the shipments for July. Unless the pro
duction for that month was very small
there must have been a great deal of oil on
hand on the Ist of August. Here are the
shipments for July :
To Titusvile by pipe 12,583 bbls.
To Pithole.. . 8,973 "
Total 21,556 - -
There was - undoubtedly considerable
Juno oil in tank on the Ist of July.
Should the estimates of 'he production in
all the producing districts be as much ex
aggerated as this, the actual production of
this region is many thouseno barre's less
than r, ported.—Pctrofeum Centre Record.

your issue of Wednesday morning there
appears In your loeal columns an account
of an affair headed "Disorderly Conduct,"
which places the coopers of Allegheny in
an unfavorable position, and is, in part, a
rnisrepreseniation of facts.
We have not been on a strike for some
time. The resolution favoring a strike was
only adopted by the Coopers on Tuesday
evening, and we aro noi. striking for. an ad
vance of wages, but for the old prices and
against -a reductiOn, which has been pro
posed by the bosses.
At an informal meeting of the coopers,
held on Monday evening. a.committee was
appointed to visit the different shops and
request the workmen to attend a general
meeting, to be held on Tuesday evening,
to consider the propriety of striking.
Those persons who created the disturb
ance at Mr. Hemphill's shop were not on
the committee—hi fact , were not at the
meeting. The gentlemen appointed on
that committee attended to their , duty as

The fall trade 'will soon ocen and our
merchants are busily engaged in arranging

awaiting fqr a change in the markets. This
course gave us a - dull and drooping spring
and summer trade, but as purchases must
be made, the stocks - having been exhausted,
a gcod time is anticipated in the opening
fall season. Goods cannot with any mea
sure of reason be expected to decline below
the prices at which they are now held, and
merchants and dealers may as well enter
the market early as late, for they will se
cure the same advantages. Prominent
amongst the old and reliable business

opening of trade with immense stocks
of foreign and domestic goods is 'the

many years occupied a leading position in
this line of trade, and has through popular
juices and fair dealing succeeded in mon
opolizing to itself a large share of.
public patronage. The stock to which the
attention of the purchasing community is
directed has been selected with much good
care and is as complete and varied as any
ever opened in this city. It embraces ail
the latest novelties, fashions, styles and
patterns introduced in the Eastern cities,
in foreign and domestic cloths, cassimeres,
and general dry goods; and will be found
as full and choice as could be desired.
Dealers who buy to sell again will be con
vinced on making a visit to the house of
McElroy, Dickson &Co. that they can buy,
with as good advantage &ere as in the lead
ing establishments of the Eastern cities.
Aside from obtaining the best of selection
at the most reasonable prices. the purchaser
will remember that he saves large items of
expense in the way of travel, freight, &c.,
if he confines his patronage to home. As
a specialty this house has laid in a very
large stock of those desirable Kittanning

CHRONIC DIaiEASEIS OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by I , r. KEYSICIt,
of this city, °litho various diseases of the ear, he
says that nine out of ten cases could be cured in
their incipiency If appleation were made to same
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes hem the, opinion of Wilde, a well
anotvit aural surgeon, who says: "I tear not to re •
iterate the asnortlon which I made on several for
mer occasions, that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or undt.istood by the generality, of
practitioners, and as early attended to as those of
the eye, It would be found that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment • •
Deafness is so common and so distressing an in

that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
