MOATHLY PETROLEUM REPORT
Production—Development— Number of
New Wells Driiiing.—fitoca Of Petro
l= in toe Region.
We have received the Titusville Herald
of yesterday, which contains the usual
monthly petroleum report, from which
we make the following extracts:
There was no great alteration in the
total yield of oil during the month. -On
Upper Cherry Run there was a ()onside' ,
able increase, but In all other districts in
which there was not a decrease, the
largement was small. Among the latter
are the Tidioute and West Hickory ,
tact", Charley and Shaler rune, Shaw
farm, Pithole, Bean dr Lillie farms and
vicinity, Church Ron and
Storey farm, two or three ..of the small
producing tracts on Cherry Tree Run,
and the Allegheny river district, south
of Franklin, in which we include the
Parker's Landingend adjacent oil
The product of the principal farms-on
Cherry Tree Run, as weU as the older I
and more thoroughly -developed tracts
on Upper Cherry Run, exhibit a falling
off at the close of the month, sa I
Alpo did the Fencer and Gregg farms, Bull
and Cow runs. At Foster farm, on the
Allegheny river, the product for the en
tire month was about twenty-five barrels
less dally than In February. On Lower
Cherry Run there wart • decrease of per
haps: fifty barrels daily, and on the,
Blood, Rya& Steele and other farms
near the mouth of Oil Creek, there was a
slight falling off,
The average production per day in .
March was 12.385 bbla. against 9,791 dur
ing March, 1889, an increase daily of
2,691 bbla.
An effort is being made to reclaim the
flat portion of the Tarr and Blood farms'
which was at one time the beat product
Ina territory on Oil Creek, but which
has been ••flooded" and oonsequently
non•productive for years.. Nearly &lithe
old wells on both farms have been "plug
ged" or started up, and the water In each
well lowered materially. At the close
of the month the fiats were producing
about forty barrels daily, with. prospect
of a much larger production in the fu.
lure.
The gravity - of the product has not
changed since our last report, unless per
lisps a alight inclination towards im
provement. The average gravity Is now
from one and one half to two degrees
lower than In August and September of
last year. Tuts is due to the fact that legal
benzine is used in the well.. There are
no longer any such grounds for complaint , 1
among refiners and shippers, as formerly
existed owing to the free use of benzine,
and It should be the aim of well owners
to maintain as far as possible, the present
' gravity.
In the number of wells In process of
drilling on April first, the returns from I
ail farms, tracts, and districts show an`
increase of thirty-live, and a total of 433.
This is • larger number than hat actually
been drilling at any time of which we
have any record since oil developments
were first began. Besides the-capital 1
which has accumulated from the saes of
oil, there Is also a considerable amount
belie, invested in .inking wells and the I
purchase of -undeveloped territory by
Pittsburgh, New York and other out.
aide capitalists. There are now from
three to five hundred leases In the entire
region:on which wells . are being com
menced, or on which by the terms of the
contrive, were will tie commenced dur
ing the next three or four months.
There had been a slight revival In the
West Hickory district - of late, in comae
quence of the known producing lands
having been greatly enlarged by the I
eartaing of moderately productive wells. I
located at a considerable distance from
those which were producing at the date
Of our hum report. These ettocenehil
strikes have again called tee attention of
operator. to that vicinity, and many
leases have been taken. 'while operations
on the old lessen are being prosecuted
with energy. This district • embraces,
from three to four square mile., and the
limits have not yet been ascertVned.
Some of the land interests nave been
wise enough to limit the number of pro
ducing wells to one on every five acres,
and we are glad to notice that the plan
has t len favorably received by most of
them. At Parker's Landing there were
no new developments of consequence so
far as the enlargement Of the territory
was concerned, but as previously stated
the extent of this territory, though It
covers from six to eight square miles,
hair not yet been found.
The drilling of new wells and the
commencement of others, is going on
without abatement, and there Is every
reason to believe that there will be from
four to five hundred producing well in
this district by July Ist.
On the Henderson farm and In Its
vicinity, • sear Tidionte, several new
.well were commenced, during the
mouth. On Upper Cherry -Run, and
between that point sod Pithole develop.
menu; are progressing rapidly, and
many new wells are being commenced.
The famous Plthole district haaremeined
unchanged, the developments still being
comparatively small. The Shaw and
Tolls farms and others In their immedi
ate vicinity, between Oil Creek, Lower
Cherry Run and the AUegheay
are still attracting considerable atten
tion. Cherrytree and Charley lions
have been without any important
change as regard. development, and on
Cottage Hill, near Oil elty, operations
have been bee active on account of some
of the well that were completed having
only produced In smell quantities.
The stock on April Ist wag about 33,-
000 barrels in excess of that on March Ist
and the total amounted to 385,000 wallet
230,000 the Name date last year, or an
Increase of about 100,000 barrel.. The
above stock embraced, as usual, the
amounts at the well, and In wooden stor

The stock in the hands of redeem and

PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE: TUESDAY MORNING, AP ' I -
ALLEGHENY BIBLE SOCIETY.
The Annual Meting—Report of the Pres
Inept.
The Ltdlea Blb'e Society, of Allegheny
held their armpit meeting on Monday,
the 4th Inst., in the lecture room of Dr.
Swift's church. Rey. Gao. P. Hays read
the following report, which was adopted.
Forty years with — rtheir changeful
1100131311 have passed away, and 'Minn the
kind Providence of God our Society Is
sustained and enabled to continue its
work of distributing the word . of life
which is the revelation. or that true
ght which Bah tathoieri man that
colieth Into the world."
In looking at the put we are ready to
exclaim what bath God wrought! Mil•
lions of our race In this land who, a few
years ago were Ina measure denied the
Privilege of reading„ His word, are now
not only freed from bondage, but the
way opened for edUcatlon which will tit
them for reading the scriptures of truth.
And but recently, Christian hearts
have throbbed with emotions of delight
at the call of some of the wisest and beet
men of our country, men noted for their
talent as well as their purity, end their
call is "Let the word of God be the eat
dard by whtch, emir caws shall be made, and
our nation governed." •
In forty years we should, and we have
taken some advanced steps. True the
enemy of mankind la-on . the alert.
Well does that enemy know that when
the pure teachings of the Bible enter the
heart of man, he can no longer 'retain
his dominion over him.
We regret to record that en effort,
instigated as we believe by ibis malevo.
lent splrlt, has been made to dismiss the
Bible from our public institutions of
learning; let this be accomplished and
well may the friends of our common
morality tremble, for although men are
unwilling to acknowledge it, yet the
Bible and morale are Inseparably
linked together. •
Moat if not all of those who were
present at the organisation of this Society
have passed away; they have ceased from
theirlabors; God has accepted of their
work. But lathers not new work for our
hands to perform; Is not the coming of
Chnst'e bleated kingdom nearer?
It may be that our eyes will
not behold it, yet we may help to,
prepare the way, and the Master may
say of each of us, "She bath done what
she could." Although our labors lbr
the past year have not been so encoessful
as we could ; have wished them to
be, Yet liberal hearts among us have
been desi liberal things. It was
proposed a t e r second meeting=e t i;

ntineaan Act—lii Allegheny rOIICIIIIM.
=
We have heard of an act, which, If true
as told us, was certainly very inhuman
and cruel. Yesterday two doge, not
knowing they were In a civilised coun
try; commenced fighting on Water street,
Allegheny city. Mr. N. P. Duffy,
woo keeps a :livery stable on
that street, in attempting to -Dart
them, was bitten In . the face by
one of the belligerents. Having fear
of hydrophobia, he sent word. to the
Mayor's °Moe to have the dog killed.
The Mayor detailed one of hie braves,
who Immediately proomided to the soone
of action. The dog nobly faced the
music. The bold plicseman caught and
tied the dog, then measured off two
pear and shot at him eight timer, • each
time Windings wound. The dog would
raise on his hind legs, look hie
bold creditor In the face, and
moarn pitifully, as If to say, "for
God's lake, give me *chance," bet 'the
Layer couldn't see it, and when his
ammunition had run out he charged
on the poor brute, and knocked his
braille out with a club. About one hun
dred persons witnessed the execution,
and say It was heart-sickening. We
think there are more dogs then are use.
onortog a
tut, but when Mayor Callow want@ a dog
killed we hope he will detail an elloar
who hes some feeling and can shoot
straight.

Quilting frames are a great, deal like tan

in fact positively refused to return them
when called upon. Mrs. King tried

she was under the painful nmity of

The first annual exhibition at the Art
Gallery commenced yesterday. The at
tendance throughout the day was not as
large as had been expected, brit this may
be accounted for by, the 'exceed
ingly disagresabTe weather. . Any who
are interested In such matters are
aware of the fact that a clear
day, with a bright sunlight, adds im
measurably - to the beauty and attrac.
floosies* of the exhibition. Few of these
would attend on inch a black, dark,
damp, dingy day as that with which we
were favored to commence the week of
the exhibtion. The attendance was-suf
ficient to Indicate the growing interest
which Is becoming manifest In oar prao.

be perfect. The subjects are almost as
Tartrate Is the number of ,the picturea.
Large and small are
arranged' with an
artistic nicety and discrimination which
brings out In relief the strong point' of
each. There are landscapes and par
traits, mountain scenes and fruit places,

cattle, men, women and children,
flowers and sketcnea, beautiful scenes '
upon the sea and chore, scenes on land

the pictures, which seem to look down
from the wails and speak in irresistible
tones for themselves. To step aside for
a few moments from the hard material
paths of every day business life into the
gallery, eeemi like suddenly discovering
in a barren land an enchanting glade,
clothed in the sunshine and verdure and
freshness of spring. -
Messrs. Johns and !dotard have car
ried out their designs well, and are
entitled to the highest praise for the
manner in which they have brought art
home to our people. Their enterprise
and toll should be rewarded in that ap.

to this art in our community. All
lovers of art, all who can appro.

A couple of young men 'attempted to
play a Joke yesterday. They saw a buggy
standing on the corner of Ohio and BIW-
A:Ile streets, Allegheny. Intotbat vehicle
they stepped and started off for a drive.
The owner just then hailed them. They
oeutinued in their course for a square or
two, when, while attempting to turn a
corner, one of them fell ont and brohs
his left leg above the ankle. The other
leg was also somewhat bruised. The
owner of the buggy thought their pun
bailment sufficient and carried the matter
no further, after obtaining pcnwaslOn of
his property. The injured man was
taken home and le now under medical
treatment. He nays be won't try any
more practical Jokes. The last one wets
too practical.

Repair Shope Removed to Enon.
=I
Nrw BRIGETO2I. April 1L
On Friday night lard, a tire broke out
In a frame building which stood about
two rods from
the Beaver Falls cutlery
wOrks, and was used In manufacturing
steel springs. It burned to the ground.
It is supposed to have been the work of
Incendiaries. The watchman in the cot.
lacy feared to go out to give the alarm;
lent it shottid be fired, and thus share the
fate of the spring shop.
A. house near by was entered and
robbed during the excitement. Other
attempts were foiled by the inmates.
The cutlery has not done mach for
some time; but it I s thought will start up
vigorously again very soon. Business in
general is reviving, both in Beaver Falls,
and New Brighton. 1
trk ii
The railroad repair silo have been
removed from New Brigh n to Boon
Valley. It seems a strange ova; but so
it is. About one dozen fa Ilse went
with it. The new Depot at N ' Brighton
. is not yet occupied, though A ished sev
