City Hail was filled Thursday evening
"by) Republican citizens, called together
for the purpose of hearing an address
fiom R. Stookett Matthews, Esq., of
altimore, who was announced to deliver
address.
I J. Scott Ferguson, Esq., called the ma
i!,
aemblage to order and announced F. B.
Penniman, editor of the GAZETTE, as
;Chairman, with twenty-one Vice Presi
dents and the usual number of Secreta
ries.
Returning thanks for the honor con
ferred in calling • him to preside, Mr.
Penniman said he would proceed at once
to the discharge of the duty imposed of
introducing the distinguished orator 'of
the evening. - - ' -
Mr,Mathews was received with en
thusiastic cheers, givingunmistak able
assurance that our people remembered
his effective service in the Republican
cause in this vicinity, as well as through
out our State, in the past. We will not
attempt - , even the merest outline of his
speectr. ' It was thrillingly eloquent
throughout, and drew forth at times the
moat unbounded applause. He con
fined- himself to a general review
of the political parties, - and his
excoriations of Democracy, as he traced
its hiatory from the long past up to the
I present, were severe in the extreme.
1 From a liartS . of progress, of universal
liberty, t had degenerated most sadly.
When it arrayed itself against the life of
the nation, all the good men departed
from it, never to return. With the sur
render of Lee at Appomatox cams the
most crashing blow to that party,
from which, however, it partially
recovered through the tre ach e ry
of that worse than perjure trai•
tor, Andrew Johnson, but only to be
C
agaigress,n thwarted
whom th bye
people a mine d most tr loyail
on
umphantly sustained in 1868. The
speaker recounted the trials and recent
triumph of the Republican party, whose
mission was yet unfulfilled. -It remained
for that party to demonstrate yet more
strikingly to thre,ntire world that the
Republic was the only safeguard for free
dom
In. 5....-,
the coming contest he felt sure
-Pennsylvania would prove herself true
to the Republican cause, in repudiating
the claim of Asa Packer th e te Gu n
bera
torial chair. ..Her people wuld never
consent to he ruled by such a demagogue,
a fit representatiie of the Democratic
party of the day, but leave him to alter
nate between Mauch Chunk and Phila
delphia, dodging the revenue assessor
and the county tax collector.
In conclusion he gave a glowing pic-
ture of the greatness of our country, of
its present-prosperity, and of its destiny
under Republican role.
The speech had a marked effect upon
the audience. Notwithstanding two
hours at least were occupied in its de
livery, the crowd evinced no sign of
weariness, and would willingly have re
mained longer, manifesting the same de
gree of appreciation, had the speaker
chosen to further tax his power of endu
rance. His closing remarks could scarce
ly be fully appreciated by the reader, if
faithfully reported, for while the lan
guage used was of the choicest, the ut
terance and manner of the speaker in
connection produced a thrill of patriotic
enthusiasm in the assemblage, which
found vent in deafening applause as he
retired.
Calla were made for Hon. Andrew
Stewart, of Fayette county, who was no
ticed on the stand, but the old gentleman
declined speaking.
The Chairman proposed three cheers
for the Republican State ticket, Geary
and Williams, which ,were given with
heartiness.
The meeting then adiourned.

es we have ever heard. Mr. Mo relsnd
interspersed his speech or arguments .
with a number of witty or applicable an
ecdotes, as well as references to ancient
and modern political history, which
drew forth the heartiest plaudits of the
assemblage, and concluded his address
by a merited tribute to Governor Geary.
Usury Butterfield, E 3q., then mounted
the rostrum, and was very enthualiastio

Explosion _of darning Fluid—Two
Houser Burned—One Dian Injured.
A fire &cared on Beaver 'avenue in
the Fifth Ward. Allegheny, about half
fast blue o'clock Wednikolay algid, by
, which two houses were'destroyed. The
fire originated on the first floor of a
two awry trams building owned by Mr.
Christine Garber. The room was occu
pied by Mr. Joseph Denich as a grocery
atore. It appears that Mr. I) at the time
the fire occured, was in the back part of
the building drawing some burning fluid
from a barrel, when from some unknowd
cruse, the fluid ignited, Mr. D. -In the
excitement droped the measure which
was full of the fluid on the floor, and
without turning the spigot to etop 'the
flow out the arrel, ran to get a
blanketfrom
with b which to smother the
flames. In a moment or two the whole
inside of the room was in a flame.
An alarm was sounded from box No. 3,
and in a abort time the entire fire de
partment of Allegheny were on, the
grounds and in service, and in less than
twenty minutes had the , flames in sub
jection, tint this was not the end of the
conflagration.
It appears that the oil had run through
the fleor to the cellar, which was fille
with water to within a foot of the floor, d
and while several firemen were in the
sebond story of the building the pis
arising from the heated oil or fluid in the
cellar, ignited, and with a loud explosion
tore tip the hearth and a portion of the
first floor, enveloping the entire building
in flames. In the second story of the
building, where the explosion took place,
were Chief Engineer James Crow and
several other men at , work. They were
instantly surrounded' by fire, apparently
with all means of escape cut off. Mr.
Crow ran to a window and called for a
ladder, but the crowd frightened by the
explosion, had ran from the front of the
building. Mr. Crow leaped from the
window - to the sidewalk, esdaping with
only a general "shaking up" that brought
no serious results. 'Mr... Henry Wag
ner, a tavern keeper, leaped out
of the window after Mr. Crow,
but did not escape so fortunately, one of
his legs being broken in two places. As
quickly as possible Mr. Crow secured a
ladder and placed it at the window, and
the remaining men hastened down.
Hutchinson, in getting down, fell and
injured his arm and leg, but without
breaking either. Peter Mohr jumped
and injured his arm, but not seriously.
Henry Garber, before he could effect his
escape, was quite badly burned about
the face and head. Andrew Warner was
also severely burned about the face and
hands, and Wm. J. Davis was burned
quite severely, and also had his wrist
sprained in reaching the groand.
The firemen remained at - their posts
and worked valliantly, but were unable
to subdue the flames until the building
and its contents and a one story frame
building adjoining it, occupied by Mr.
Jacob Seigel, were destroyed. Mr. Gar
re loss on the building will approxi
mate $2,000 , on which there is an in
surance of $l,OOO. Mr. Denich's loss
will be between 5100 and $ 5OO. He has
no insurance. A part of his loss was
twenty-five dollars in money.
The Iron Nanufacturers=, Advance In
Prices—Card Rates.
A Convention of the Western Iron and
Nail Manufacturers was I held in the
rooms of the Iron Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, Water street, this City, Wednes
day afternoon. Representatives from all
the milts in this vicinit, Wheeling,
Cincinnati and Mahoning Valley were
present.
The unanimous sentiment of the As
sOciation was that an advance in the
price of iron and nails we t * necessary in
order to cover the cost of manufacturing
and business expenses.
On motion, the- following card rates
were adopted: • 1
l
Iron 33; cents with concession of %
cent profits on orders of 0 tons or over,
and nails 14.50, less 12% nts, per keg,
when ordered in 100 keg 1 gi
or upwards.
Terms: sixty days for approves paper,
or 3 per cent. for cash, Tainted on re
ceipt of invoice.
From the general tone c 4 the_meeting,
there can be but little doubt but that the
above prices and terms will be strictly
adhered to in every particular, as it ts
claimed that the present rates give no
margin to manufacturers whatever.
A Case of Cholera.
Mr. William Lynn an engineer rod&
ing on Carson street in Buriningham
was yesterday attacted by the real Asiatic
Cholera from which
. we learned last
evening he bad died. He was attended
by Dr. Duff of the South aide and yes
terday afternoon a consultation in the
case was held with Dr. George L. McCook.
Both of the physicians concurred in set
tling the case as one of genuine cholera.
The diseased w a tnan excellent
habits. This should be a warning to all
readers to adopt such sanitary measures
as may be deemed prudent for the pres
ervation of tile general health. SOme
parts of Birmingham are in a frightful
condition, filthy beyond name, and we
can hardly expect good health to reign
to such localities. We heard it rumored
oq Wednesday that there had been a
death In the sane borough on that day
but we could not ascertain such to be
the fact. :
iskiliftil Operation
We have already noticed that about
ten o'clock last Tuesday night two ±boys
had a quarrel in Denny's alley, 7lfth
,
ward, when one threw at brick at the
other, which. missing its aim, struck
Cornelius Sexton, an unoffending boy,
above the right temple, producing an
extensive fracture. A deep depression
in the kull was made ba of the
brick. s The boy was tak en upcorner
senseless
and carried to his home near by, where
Drs. itt'hleal and Brashear were -, sum
moned. It was found necessary tto tre
pan the bead in order to remove
the
depressed portions to their proper place.
The boy remained. in a state of illSOUld•
bility until seven o'clock yesterday
morning, when he awoke to conscious
ness and the use of his limbs. At Ibis
time there is good hope of recovery.
What Was Needed.
That crime is increasing—almost ram-
pant, in the city and neighborhood — the re
la no denying. That it should be
checked—villains arrested, and honest
men made right, is equally certain.
With 'these ends in view wo are in.

PETEOLEU.M.
Falling off In Franklin District—New
VW ells Struck—The Blacg 011 Product.
We glean the following from the
Titusville Herald of the 22d:
The production of Lubricating oil in
the vicinity of Franklin has fallen off
lately, and now does not exceed twelve
barrels daily. A number of wells were
sunk on this belt this year, but none of
them have produced more than two bar
rels daily for any considerable length of
time. Only one well is now in process of
drilling: The price, delivered on the
cars at Franklin, is now pa per barrel of
43 gallons.
A new ten barrel well was struck on
'West_Hickory creek last week. It is
owned by Messrs. Roberts de. Canfield.
Last week a new well was struck on the
Tallman farm, Upper Cherry run, and
yesterday the production was reliably
reported at sixty barrels daily. The
well is owned by Lan Stew
art & F. W. Andrews. Messrs.
Recen ym ytl, Mr.
H.
R. Davis struck a new eight barrel black
oil well on the southern part of the Cald
well farm, run. This well is
located midwayßull
between the producing
wells on Bull run and those on the A.
Boyd and Coxton farms, and its success
is taken as indicating to a certainty that
the territory interventing beween the
farms named and Bull run which aggre
gates. perhaps, fifty acres. is of the pro
ducing order. Another new well has
been commenced in the immediate
vicinity of Mr. Davis', and several more
will be started within a few weeks.
Last week a new well was struck on the
Salisbury farm, ;West Pithole creek.
Shortly after pumping, was commenced
it began to pixy:lune oil, and, for a time,
the rate of-production was as high as
seventy-five barrels. Subsequently the
production fell off greatly on account of
the seed bag having given way, or a
water vein having been opened, and
since Friday last the yield has not been
over eight barrels daily. The well is
owned by Mr. W. F, formerly of At
kinson. Upper C m herr oe y run. It is ex
pected that as soon as the water Is ex
hausted the production will increase
materially. ' -
It may not be generally known that
the quantity of black oil produced in
Pennsylvania is equal to at least one
fifth of the whole product, bat such is
the fact. The great black oil yielding
district, is that known as Pleasantville,
which extends from the Independ ra ent
farm on the south, to the Nettletan tract
on the noth east, and yield about 1,000
barrels daily. Then there a e the black
oil districts of upper Che y run and
the district at Bean farm' d vicinity,
which yield at least 1,000 barr els daily.
1
The yield of the districts n med above
aggregates 1,100 barrels, to - hich must
be added the yield of three four farms
on West Plthole creek, and hat of the
black oil districts of Bull nd Cherry
tree runs, which will certainly amount
to 400 barrels more, making, a total yield
of 2,500 barrels daily. The importance
of the fact that this quantity is being
produced will be understood when it is
known that black oil yields three per
cent. less refined, and three per cent.
more residum than green oil of the same
gravity. When the enormous quantity
that is produced annually is taken into
consideration, it is a matter of no little
'consequence, that the proportionate
yield of black oil has not been, and,
:probably, will not be less this year, than
one-fifth. With the decline in the pro
duct of the Pleasantville district, and
the abandoning of the black oil produc
ing sand rock on Upper Cherry run for
that which produces green oil, it was
thought that the product, of black oil.
would fall off materially, but, recently,
the yield at Brian farm, in the vicinity of
Bull run and on West Plthole creek, in
creased, and appearance now indicate
that the black oil territo7 on Cherry
tree run will be extended
