—Drilling was discontinued at the
Crowe well last Tuesday evening. The
fourth sand found in it was not very
thick, not more than five or six feet
and contained but little oil, not
enough to make it worth pumping.
The fact that the fourth sand is so very
light speaks well for the territory. A
third sand oil field always holds out
best. This well was located forty rods
east of a 22i degree line passing
through No. 1 well, and is 108 rods
west of a 22£ degree line passing
through the Simcox & Myers well.
This makes rather a bad showing lor
the degree line business, and as
none of the new wells that have been
started will be down for at least three
months, people who are anxious to
know in which direction the belt or
pool extends will have to possess their
souls in patience.

—The question of the duty of the

stepped on snow made slippery by trav

and falling sustained injuries for which
a jury awarded him SSOO damages.
The borough took the case to the
Supreme Court, which holds that bor
oughs cannot prevent general slippery
ness of the streets and crossings by
snow and ice, but that it can prevent
accumulations of the same which ren
der pedestrianism dangerous. As it
did not appear that Kline bad fallen
on a ridge of snow, the Court held
that the verdict should have been in
favor of the borough.

Terrible Accident.
Mr. Martin Eieler, gardener, of this
place met with a terrible accident last
Thursday morning, which may yet
prove fatul. That morning Mr. Wil
liam Rbilander Sr., with the aid of his
son Henry, and Mr. Isaih Balpb, un
dertook to remove an old fashioned log
pump from the well just back of his
blacksmith shop. This well is
twenty-seven feet deep, and was dug
and the pump put in in 1854. The
pump stock is in three pieces and is
very heavy, particularly the lower
piece which is about eighteen feet in
length and which has stood in from 13
to 15 feet of water for nearly twenty
eight years To take it out they used
a windlass, which bad one wooden
and one iron handle and placed two
iron bars across the hole, to which to
fasten the logs while slipping the rope
down for a fresh hold. They had
taken the upper and middle pieces of
the pump stock out and were about
taking out the lower piece, when Mr.
Eisler happened to notice them at
work aad came up from his residence
to lend a helping hand. The rope was
fastened to the lower piece and it had
been raised so that the end of it was
some feet above ground—Mr. Eisler
being on one side of the windlass and
Mr. Balpb on the other—when the
wooden handle in Mr. Eisler's hand
broke. This jarred the other handle
from Mr. Balph's hand and the heavy
log commenced descending and the
windlass revolving very rapidly. One
of the handles of the windlass struck
Mr. Eisler's left arm, breaking it in two
places and throwing him in a stooping
posture under the revolving windlass
where he received several terrible
blows on the back of the head from
the bandies of the windlass, before
falliug across the iron bars. Had it
not been for the bars be wonld have
fallen headlong into the well. He
was carried home and medical aid
summoned, when it was found that
his skull is fractured in several places,
and that his life was in danger. Up
to yesterday he was still alive, but if
he survives, bo will be a cripple for
many months, perhaps for life. Mr.
Eisler's family consists of himself, wife
and six small children. He is in very
. bad shape financially, and tbi3 calami
ty has come to him at the only season ol
the year, during wbich he makes any
money. A subscription is being taken
up in aid of this distressed family.
The members of the church to which
they belong, the German Lutheran,
are subscribing liberally, and it is
hoped thatevervbody who can, will give
them something, as they will likely
need much more than they will get,
for the necessaries of life, long before
Mr. Eisler becomes able to do any
thing toward their support.

A Stroke at llie Standard.
TITUSYILLE, PA., April 14. A
I number of so-called special telegrams
j from this city, purporting to give ac
counts of the reorganization of the
[ Union Oil Company, were more re
markable for latk of correctness than
anything else. That the company has
reorganized is true. Among those
who have embarked in the new scheme
are H. L. Taylor, John Satterfield and
Thos. S McFarland, all of the firm of
11. L. Taylor & Co., Managers of the
Tidewater Pipe Line; F. B. Gowen,
President of the Reading Railroad
Company; Charles Parish, Johu Scott,
S. Burke and Amasa Stone, all heavy
capitalists and largely interested in
railroads. The prime object of the cor
poration is to compete with the Stand
ard Oil Company, and if possible break
the death-grip it has for several years
held on the oil interest not only of
Western Pennsylvania but of the en
tire country. While its operations
may not, perhaps, be conducted on the
same extensive scale as the Standard's
it will be no mean opponent and will
speedily make itself felt—with the
Union refineries, the Tidewater Pipe
Lines and the railroad backing which
is represented by the four gentlemen
last named in the list of incorporators,
there is no reason why successful com
petition cannot be entered into. In
case the old plan of lowering the price
of oil is adopted by the. Standard, it is
probable the enlarged and strengthen
ed Union will be able to stand it as
long as tbe older company.
As is known the Union Oil Com
pany hitherto done business in Phila
delphia and in this city. Under the
new management it is understood that
the principal scenes of operation will
be in Western Pennsylvania, with
Titusville as a center. Sew refineries
will be built, and smaller ones bought.
Even now agents are at work negotiat
ing for several of the numerous pipe
lines with which the oil regions are
crossed and recrossed, and it is said
they have every prospect of success.
Mr. Thomas S. McFarland sails from
New York to Liverpool to-morrow, in
order to secure loans for the new enter
prise. and also to sell some of the stock
which as yet remains unsubscribed.
In the reorganization the original
$4,000,000 stock of the Union Oil Co.,
was raised to something like $7,500,-
000, of which not quite all was taken.
The assistance of English capitalists
will be secured, and the establishment
of a foreign agency effected before the
return of the representative.
Cfipinre of a Thief In Zelie«
nople.
In the Allegheny Mail, of last
Thursday, we find the following :
Anton Molitor, a carpenter, who
resides at No. 119 Juniata street, was
robbed of $220 last week. Mrs. Ball
is the housekeeper of Molitor. Her
grand-3on, Andrew Ball, has been
boarding at the house for some time.
He occupied the same room with
Molitor. The latter kept his money in
a bureau drawer in his sleeping apart
ment. On last Thursday morning
young Ball informed him that he was
going to the country for a short time
and left the house. Molitor having
occasion to use some money, went to
the drawer where he kept his savings
and discovered that it was gone. He
immediately suspected Bali of being
the thief, and Chief of Police Long
was notified, The matter was placed
in the hands of Detective Wills, who
traced the young thief to Zelienople.
A warrant was sent to Constable
Weigel, of that place, who arrested
Ball and brought him to this city last
evening. He was given a hearing be
fore Mayor Peterson this morning aud
pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny.
He was held in the sum of S3OO bail
for trial at court.
Burning of Wise's Dance Hall.
The dance hall, erected by Mr.
Leonard Wise, on his lot, back of the
county jail, seven years ago, was burn
ed to the ground last Monday night,
or rather early Tuesday morning. The
hose companies were promptly on
hand shortly after the alarm was given,
but owing to the bursting of the hose,
were prevented from saving the build
ing. They saved Mr. Wise's residence,
however. The fire originated from an
egg hatching arrangement that Mr.
Wise's son and Harry Donaghy had
started in the basement of the building
that day. One of the lamps connected
with the incubator is supposed to have
exploded, and the flames must have
reached a ten gallon can, filled with
oil, and have exploded it, previous to
tbe fire being noticed, for when Mr.
Wise attempted to put it out by throw
ing water from bis pump on it; the
more water he threw on it the more
it seemed to spread. His son had
been out to see that the incubator was
working all right, about an hour before
The building was 35x85 feet, entirely
of frame and cost Mr. Wise over $1,600.
His insurance policy expired ten days
ago, and as bis policy on his house
will expire shortly he thought he
would wait till then and have the two
buildings insured together. He places
his loss at, at least $1,500.
Big Blaze at Titusville.
TITUSVILLE, April 14.—Afire occur
red in this city this morning which for
extent of damage surpasses any mis
fortune that has ever befallen the place.
The blaze started in the Parchall
House and from thence spread to the
Parchall Opera House, which was
connected with it. The firemen labor
ed hard to put out the blaze, or at best
to confine it to the hotel and opera
house, but were unsuccessful, the
flames enveloping the magnificent
Brunswick Hotel and completely de
stroying it. The fire is still raging,
but there are indications that it has
course. The Parchall House
was oue of tho best hotel properties in
the oil regions, and was run in con
nection with the large opera house.
The Brunswick Hotel was built by the
torpedo millionaire, Roberts who died
about two years ago. He had fitted it
up in the most gorgeous style after the
manner of the pa'atial hotels of New
York. It was not a suocess, and some
time ago was clqsed for lack of patron
age.

A (Jeuerous Gift.
NORWICH, Conn., April 12.—The
noble gift of John F. Slater, of this
town, of $1,000,000 for the education
of the colored race, is characteristic of
the man. His design in making offer
to the New York Legislature, where
a bill incorporating Rutherford B.
Hayes, Chief Justice Waite, Governor
Colquitt, Rev. Phillip Brooks and
others as trustees of the John F. Slater
fund, was to-day introduced, and was
in his own words, "To uplift the lately
emancipated population of the Southern
States and their posterity by confer
ring on them the blessing of a Chris
tian education." He further adds: "I
am encouraged to the execution of this
charitable foundation of a long cherish
ed purpose by the wisdom and success
that have marked the conduct of the
Peabody educational fund in a field of
operation not remote from that con
templated by this trust. The gener
al object which I desire to have exclu
sively pursued is the uplifting of the
lately emancipated population of the
Southern States and their posterity by
conferring on them the blessings of a
Christian education. The disabilities
formerly suffered by this people and
their singular patience and fidelity in
the great crisis of the Nation, establish
a just claim on the sympathy and good
will of humane and patriotic men. I
cannot but feel compassion due, in
view of their prevailing ignorance,
which exists because of no fault of
their own.'
Mr. Slater further suggests that the
education of teachers for the colored
race may be the wisest purpose to
which the fund can be put. If, after
33 years, three-quarters of the trustees
shall for any reason agree there Is no
further use for the fund in the form of
an institute, Slater authorizes them to
apply the capital to the establishment
of foundations subsidiary to those ex
isting in institutions of higher educa
tion, so as to make them more freely
accessible to poor colored students.
Under the present institution of the
fund he especially wishes neither prin
cipal nor income to be expended in
land or buildings for any other purpose
than that of a safe and productive in
vestment for income.
Tbe Petroleum Outlook.
The outlook for better prices for
crude petroleum in the near future is
encouraging, notwithstanding tbe new
developments in the Sheffield and But
ler oil fields. It is conceded on all
hands that the Richburgh field has
reached the highest production which
can be reasonably expected and that
the extent of the territory in that sec
tion is clearly defined. The Bradford
field is gradually declining in produc
tion and the new strikes in other ter
ritory do not more than make up the
decline in the yield of old wells. The
total oil production is now placed at
78,000 barrels per day, and the indica
tions are, from every standpoint, that
by the first of August the yield will
decline to 65,000 barrels per day.
From tbe best iuformed sources we
learn that the demand during the year
1882, will average 65,000 barrels of
crude per day. For the eight months
endiag with February 28th, 1882, the
value of the petroleum exported is of
ficially reported to be $34,453,551, an
increase of over $9,000,000 compared
the exports of the same period for 1881.
This demonstrates, in a measure, the
increase ot the foreign demand and
consumption. The home consumption
is rapidly increasing, especially in the
Southern and Western States.
It is reasonable to believe that with
the declining production and increased
consumption, it will not be long until
the large stocks in the oil region wiil
be drawn upon heavily, crude oil will
theu command $2.00 per barrel. This
is a rosy picture but we believe it
is justified by the actual condition and
tendency of the petroleum trade.—

—The Atlantic Monthly for Mav is a note
worthy number. Mr. Longfellow's poem on
"Mad River, in the White Mountains'' posses
ses peculiar interest as being the last oue from
his pen, and the final proof of it was revised
by him only a day or two before his last brief
illness. The opening chapters of Mr. Thuuas
Hardv's new serial, ''Two on a Tower," are
given", and promise a story of unusual interest.
The Atlantic has secured the sole right of serial
publication of this story, both in America
and England. John Fiske contributes an ar
ticle on ' The Arrival of Man in Europe, which
supplements his popular scientific treaties on
"Europe before the Arrival of Man," in the
April number. H. H. writes a capital char
acter sketch, entitled "Aunty Lane," and Ed
ward G. Mason gives an entertaining history
of "Old Fort Chartres," one of the earlv
French forts in Illiuois, some traces of which
vet remained, and in the vicinity of which
many dcceudants of the old French settlers are
still living. Miss Phelp's serial, "Doctor
Zay," and Mr. Bishop's story, "The House of
a Merchant Prince," are both continued, and
Eugene \V. Hilgard concludes his paper on
"Progress in Agriculture by Education and
Government Aid," in which he makes some
criticisms 011 the con-luct of the Department of
Agriculture, and suggests needed improve
ments in it. The third chapter in the valuable
series of "Studies in the South" treats of meth
ods of emigration, life in colonies, the fortunes
of the negroes, fertilizers, cotton, the cypres
swamps, and the Texas climate. Miss Eliza
l>eth Robins contributes a curious article on the
'•Evolution of Magic," and J. Laurence Laugh
liu gives a clear and instructive account of the
recwit "French Panic." Poems by Edith M.
Thomas and Mary W. Plummer, a review of
"Renan's Marcus Aurelius," the Contributor*'
Club, and Rooks of the Month, are the other
contents of (he number, A. brief obituary no
tice of Mr. Longfellow refers to the fact that
the very first number of the Atlantic contained
his tribute to Florence Nightingale, and that
the present number of the magazine is privil
eged to present to its readers his last poein. A
fine steel portrait of Mr. Longfellow will ap
pear in the June number.
