The Chinose entertainment at the
rinK last Saturday evening was quite
a decided success financially. The
show was novel and in many respects
instructive if not amusing. Ooe of
the most pleasing features was the
fluency and intelligence with which
the leading character of the company
spoke the English language. Indeed,
except by his general appearance one
would hardly have taken him to be
anything but a native American. The
tea served with the luncheon after
the performance, was simply delicious,
and reflected credit on the ooe who
prepared it, be he Chinaman or Amer
ican. F. M. Zeigler, until recently en
gaged in the milling business near
Tionesta, will leave here to-morrow
morning for Colorado to be treated for
a lung trouble with which he has late

City friends will hope that the change
of climate may have the desired effect
and that be may soon regain his for
mer health aod strength. Mr. Zeig
ler will be accompanied en the trip
by his father-in-law, John Jennings,
of Plum Township, this county.

There have been several wells drilled
in that immediate neighborhood each
of which produced some oil, and one
of them was abandoned as a 25 barrel
pumper. But that was in the days
when oil wasn't worth haviug, hardly.
The Berry vs. Wat9on suit, which
has attracted so much attention, was
settled Wednesday. Tho property io
dispute has produced about 35,000
barrels of oil worth an average of 80
cents, (28,000. Less expeoee of drill
ing three well aud equipping same,
cost of pumping, torpedoes aud extras
for about six year?, $1 2,000. Balunce
10,000. For this sixteen thousand
realized from wells by the Watson
parties they surrender tho property
with the three wells and equipments,
and pay cash $15,000. Each party
pays its own expense of suits. This
statement is authoritative, and the
average reader, the question haviug
been raised by the Derrick correspon
dent, can draw his own couclusioos as
to who has the "best" of it, as well as
the Derrick or its correspondent. The
parties who really seem to be out are
the attorneys of both parties. Tid

We iu tho natural gas region are apt to
think that the gaseous fuel is cutting a
wide swath through the coal production.
The figures, however, show that, although
the natural gas belt is very long aud its
output immense, iff etl'ect ou the con
sumption of coal is not appreciable. The
statement of Prof. Ashburner to the V. S.
Geological Survey ahowa that the total
production of coal of all kinds iucrea.sed
fioui iiy,:'7.S,6oe tooa iu 1&87 to lti,363,74t
tons In lam. The value of the coal mined
last year was f208,12P,80. Instead of a
falling off, there was an Increased produc
tion in every Important coal region. The
Pennsylvania anthracite mined during
the past year amounted to 40,668,000 of a
value of fSS,7H,000. In the face of such
figures, the statistics of natural gas look
insignificant, and even tho oil production
soems small In comparison. Franklin

of tho Conference dosiro a change from
spring to fall. Among the many Confer
ences of this Church, only two hold their
sessions in the fall, hence this question
was handled in a business manner, but
on reaching a vote the proposed change
failed, and the 13th or March, I', Is tho
date of the next session, and tircensburg
tho place.
ADDRESS.
At this juncture tho Kev. W. Yost, Supt.
of the Orphan's Home at Flat Rock, Ohio,
addressed the Conf. in the interest of said
institution. This is a church institution,
maintained by the church and gives a
home, shelter and clothes to a largo num
ber of llttlo orphans. Rov. J. J.Carmany
preached at 7:30 to a large congregation.
SECOND DAY.
Conf. was opened at 8:30 by singing, and
prayer by that veteran O. W. Cupp, after
which the Bishop addressed the Conf. and
assembly on "arriving late at church," in
which he inmlo sojiio very pointed and
truthful hits. Rov. S. S. Condo, the noted
revivalist, of the Ohio Conf., presented
his credentials and was received into this
Conf. Tho work of Conf. the remaining
part of tho day was principally that of
committee work, aud of a statistical na
ture, hence of but little importance to
your readers. Kev. D. S. Poling preached
an eloquent sermon lu the evening the
large house being crowded as usual.
THIRD DAY.
Convened at 8:30 a. ni., opened aa usual
by singing, and prayer by Rev. T. Bach ;
theu followed an address by the Bishop
on choosing a text, and on the receiving
of membership.
Tho further proceedings ol tho day was
that of receiving reports from the sevnral
committees and their ratification by tho
Conference, Ac, which your correspond
ent will pass by. Conference concluded
its work at a late hour on Satuiday night.
The last work was the report of the sta
tioning committee. Ordination sor vices
were held Sabbath forenoon, at which
time six or soven young ministers wore
oiduined Deacons, and four, Elder.
By an invitation of the proper authori
ties of Jefferson county, the afternoon
sorvlco was hold In tho Court House, for
tho reason that so many wished to hear
Bishop Dubs preach, aud would beuiiabo
to gain an entrance to the Church. At two
o'clock tho people began to wend their
way to the Court House, notwithstanding
the sorvices wero not to commence until
3 o'clock. The assembly was simply tre
mendous, and many went away cntiroly
unable to obtain evon standing room. The
Bishop's text was, "Ye are my witnesses."
Bishop Dubs was certainly iu the best
condition for the occasion, aud preached
iu the power aud demonstration of the
spirit; having a voice like an engine he
tilled tho entire room with apparout ease.
No one was disappointed in tho ability of
the speakor, and that sermon will long be
reinemberod'by the church going people
of Brookville.
Throughout tho entire' Conference ses
sion the highest grade of Christian spirit
and love prevailed. All the members re
turn from the Conferenc e to their fields of
toil and labor with renowed courage and
energy. We have only given your read
ers a very limited account of Pittsburgh
