Convention meets in Minneapolis next Tuesday, ana speculation regarding the probable nominee is rife. There will be 898 delegates in tho Con vention, exclusive of Alaska, and if that far off territory sends delegates, there will be an even 900, and it will take 451 to nominate. Quay says that Blaine will be voted lor without a nominating speech, that it is now too late for him to write another letter of declination and that 718 delegates will vote for him on the first ballot, but it is a question as to whether Blaine eould now honorably acoept the nomination nnder any circumstances, and also as to whether Quay and bis crowd really wish to nominate or are but using him to defeat Harrison, whose friends claim that 412 delegates are pledged to him. ©PR primary for nominating a candidate for Law Judge occurs next Saturday be tween the hours of 2 and 7p. m. John M. Greer is the only candidate and of ceurse he will receive the nomination whether five or five-thousand votes are cast; but be would like to see a respectable voto polled, and as the farm work has been delayed by the rains this season that will not be done unless the town vote turns out. THE political sensation of this week was the immense Democratic Convention al Syracuse, N. Y., Tuesday, which selected a delegation for the state, to the Chicago Convention which will contest with the delegates elected at the previous state Con vention for seats in the National Conven tion. The meeting endorsed Cleveland, denounced Hill's political methods, and adopted a platform, one plank of which favors international hi-metalism. The Allegheny County Primaries. Tho Republicans of Allegheny County held their primaries last Saturday, and their nominating Conventions on Tuesday. Congressmen Dalaell and Stone were re nominated, as were also Judge Stowe, Coroner McDowell and Poor Director j)cbse. John Upperman was nominated or State Senate m the 43d district, and S. E. Steele in the 45th; and of the sixteen Assemblymen nominated eleven are Dal zell men and five Quay men. Depew on the Nomination. Mr. Depew was asked whether he had understood any change bad been made in the political situation, and said: " I know of none. I think Mr. Harrison will be nominated. The men who are urging Mr. Blaine to run are counting on influencing the delegates instructed for Mr. Harrison. Now, in my opinion, there is no candidate but Harrison possible so long a« the ClaVkson letter—which is, in effect, a letter to all republicans—stands. It does not matter what construction may be put on it by commentators, it took Mr. Blaine out of the race. A Bible reader as a general thing sticks closely to the text no matter what the commentators may say; the Bible is inspired aud the com mentators are not." "You evidently arejnot in sympathy with the movement to nominate Blaine?" "I am not, bocause there is no sigu that Mr. Blaine would take the place. lam a great friend of Mr. Blaine. The men who are leading this movement are his enemies. I have worked for Mr. Blaine for many years, and was in the minority-. No word came from Mr. Blaine. I talked with him while he was here, and he discussed tho financial situation and the affairs of the country with candor, clearness and all bis old force of mind. But he didn't drop a word on which to base the slight suspicion that he had changed his mind. When I talk with the men who say be must be nominated I ask thorn if they have roason to think he has changed bis mind and they say no. 'Has he written anotherletterY' 'No.' 'lias he said he would withdraw the Clark son letterT' 'No.' 'Has he intimated that he has changed his mindf 'No.' 'All thoy oan say is that they got the general im pression that be will run. "When I ask what they moan thoy de clare that they are not sure Blaine will have it,but that he must be used to beat Harrison." "Have they admitted that to you." "Certainly they have. 'lf you can nom inate Blaine,' they say, 'it will kill off Harrison even it Blaine will not accept it, becr.use no President wonld be likely to accept an office which had been made to one of his Cabinet and rejected.' They do not seem to realize that the rejection of the nomination would be a calamity to the party which would have a most depressing aud disastrous effect on the canvass and the result. A number of them aro also depending on the fact that no man has ev er rejected a nomination and that Mr. Blaine would be loath to throw the party into confusion by rejecting the nomination after it had been forced. "I am vory frank to say that there is much in the situation which may not be • come clear until the delegates get to M iu ncapolis. Indeed, I will not absolutely know what I am going to do myself until I get there." QriTK a number of new pictures of Blaine were published iu the dailies of last week, aud they were enough to make any njan run. A Gallant Colonel. An, interesting little scrap of hitherto unwritten war history is brought: out in connection with the application of the Hon K. M. Powell for a place in the in terstate commerce commission. A recommendation has been received by the president from the survivors of tho Ligbty-third Pennsylvania volunteers in dorsii'g bis application. Col. Powell com manded Third Regiment Confederate Tex-, as infantry, and was captured a> (iettys burg by D. D. Rogers of Butler, l'a. Mr. Rogers took an ivory-handled revolver from the colonel, A correspondence oc curred this year, and Col. Powell has been invited to attend the next reunion of the Kigbty-third, when bis revolver will be re turned to him. The kindly and fraternal feeling which Col. Powell has expressed for hi* law capK.rs so pleaicd them that they recommended his appointment to.the pipaideat. PETROLEUM. In a recent address in tho "practical talk" series at the Y. M- C, A. rooms in i New Castle. Hon. T. W. Phillip- spoke ex i teuiporaneoualy on the subject of Petrole um, giving uiany interesting historical facts and scientific theories touching this I important product on which he is so well qualified by business experience and studi ous research to speak. Sir. Phillips gave a brief historical sketch 'of Petroleum,ancient and modern. Second its transportation. Third its wide com mercial distribution. Fourth the variety of its products. Fifth the large numbers of industries embraced in its development, transportation and manufacture. Sixth the geological formations in which it is found. Seventh its origin. Eighth the ajiount produced, and the money received from its export- , „ . The meaning of the word Petroleum is "Hock oil." Tho first mention of it is in oae of the oldest books in the world, the book of Job. In which it is stated that the rock poured him out rivers of oil. This has been true in modern times. Literal riTers of oil have come from the rocks. Herodotus describes oil springs 000 years before the Christian era. Plinney awl other early writers refer to it. It has been known in the world at leas., 4000 years Its existance has been known in Persia, India. China, Japan and other countries. The ruins of Mnereh and Babvlon show its use in cement or tnortf-r. In this contry mention is made of its existence in New York State near the bor der line of Pennsylvania in 1629. I rior to the year 1800, oil springs were mentioned as existing along the valley of Oil tree.*. It was used by the Indians in that section for medicine and other purposes. Many remains of pits and wells are found in that vicinity. Some of these having been cribbed, the timber showing marks or edged tools and sunk to the depth of 20 or more feet. In these pits or wells now nearly filled, havo been found trees grow ing hundreds of years old. The Indians had no knowledge of who dug these wells. It is presumed thoy were dag by a pre historic race. Perhaps by the people who mined copper in the Lake Superior region or the Mound Builders. One of the first wells in this section of the country which produced oil was drilled br Mr Kicrs for salt water at Tarentum. This well was drilled prior to 1850 and pro duced afemall amount of oil whicn was sold in half pint bottles for medicinal purposes at 50 cents per bottle. The first oil com pany in this country was formed in New Haven. Conn., to operate for oil belo" Titusville, on Oil Creek, Pennsylvania. Mr. E. L. Drake came out as Superintend ent of this Company in 185*. having pre viously learned of oil being obtained in K ier> well, ho conceived the idea of drilling for oil. He had difficulty in reaching bed ock. Finally he drove iron pipe 36 feet to the rock and drilled through this pipe. On the 28th day of August, 1859, he struck oil at the depth of 69* feet. This well at the start pumped about 25 barrls per day, but soon settled to 10 or 15 barrels. The oil from it sold it 55 cents per gallon. The success of this well caused a great stir in that section and the surrounding country. Many people rushed to Oil Creek and hundreds of wells were drilled along its valley. In tho year 18(50 and '6l largo flowing wells were obtained, and many large fortunes were made. Operations were extended to various parts of Venango county and to Tidioute, Venango county. A considerable was done in Lawrence county, but with little suc cess. Oil was tonnd in considerable quan tities in West Virginia on the Kanawa.. Most of tho early drilling was done by spring pole and liorso power, later by en gines. Oil wan first transported from Oil Creok by wagon, and later to Titusville, where it was shipped east by railroad in barrels. It was shipped down Oil Creek on pond floods to the Allogbeny river; thence transported in barrels on barges to Pittsburg. In 18C5 it began to be shipped by pipe lines. This mode of shipping met with opposition from the teamsters at first, but it prevailed. Now it is chiefly trans ported by pipe lines through the oil regions and by large trunk lines to tho seaboard. It ha* become one of the most extensive articles of commerce, both on account oi its illuminating and lubricating qualities. It is shipped to all the continents of the world, and to many of the island* of the sea. Its use* are as extensive as civilization. It has has become the most chief iliumicunt of the world. It lights the cities, town., and villages of the Orient and most of the hab itatione of tho world, where gas and elec tritity are not used* There is perhaps, no other substan3e from which sneh a variety of products are made. Their name ;» le gion. Petroleum has in it the sevencohirs of the rainbow, as may by seen by casting a small quantity of it r.n water, exposed to the rays of the sun. These colors have beon extracted chiefly by French chemists. Many of our new colors are derived from petroleum. Its purple approaches in beu ty the ancient royal purple. There are also a great variety of lubri cating oils made iroin petroleum. It is dispensing with animal fat and fast be coming the lubricant of the world. It is used by railroads and all heavy machinery, also in making the finer scented oils. Iw gasolene and benzeine are used in making gas and enter largely into paints and many chemical compounds. From its uarafine of wax, is made all the wax candles and chewing gum. From its coke, all the carbon points used in are lights are made, and a large per cent, of printers' ink. In various forms it enters into an in definite variety of compounds. Some of the newest medical remedies are made from it; among which I would name Phenacentine, the best known remedy for headaclio. In fact, the by-products, us they are termed, have now become of much more value than its illuminating oil. Again, more industries are embraced in 1 its production, manufacture and marketing, than perhaps any other commoddity. Among these I would mention the iron which is largely used in the constriction of engines and boilers, tanks in which are stored millions of barrels of oil, tank-cars, tank-ships, casing, tubing and pipe lines. Also in tin in making cans in winch *itj is largely transported, lumber in hauling rigs, boiler houses, etc. Coal in drilling, pump . ing and transporting by rail and ship. Rppo in vast quantities; lyass fittiings without number; rubber in making bclst and packers. A great variety of workmen are employ ed, the machinist, blacksmith, carpenter, engineer, fireman, driller, pumper, team ster, refiner, chemist, shipper, buyer and seller. In regard to the gological formations in which it is found, 1 would remark that it belongs to the Devonian and Carboniferous ages. Tho Devonian rocks or formations are noted for their fossil rcmaius of fish and Hhells. It is found chiefly in con glomerate rock and generally, but not universally, along mountain ranges and among their foothills. These rocks usually bear the trend of the mountains and are called belts. In regard to our l'eunsyl vania deposits, 1 would state that where the Allogbeny mountains havo a bearing of 22 degrees, the belt runs about the same degree. When thoir bearing is 45 degrees the oil deposit is more likely to bo in that same direction. It is generally considered by geloglsts that tlioso conglomerate rocks were formed by deep sea currents or an ocean-shore. Tho latter is believed to be the true theory. We find the formations to be just such as arc now found on an ocean shore. At one point on the belt wo may drill through quicksand, at another, line sharp bard sand, ut another, pebble mixed with coarse sand. It is from the pebble sand that tho oil is obtained in quantities. In regard to the ORIIiIN OP OIL thero have been many conjectures. Some geologists have contended that it has been compressed from the fat of vegetable and animal matter in the shales overlying and underlying the oil rocks and deposited iu them. This cannot be tho fact as these shales have tho same characteristics as the shales found near the surface, and further more, it would be impousidle for the fol lowing reasons: That this deposit was made by an ocean sboro may be consider ed a settled fact because it contained marine formation, remains of sea shells aud frequently some salt water. The third or fourth rocks usually contain but little <sr no salt water. The upper rocks geneially coutain more salt water than oil. We therefore take it for granted that those deposits wero originately an ocean shore ana were laid down on abed of mud which is now compressed into shJle or slate. Another period camo, in which this sea breach was covered by mud. Iu most places many feet in thickness, ai.d so on alternate layers of sand and mud until the earth's surface was reached. By weight the deposits of sand and the deposits of mud were compressed, uue into conglom erate rock and the other into shale or slate. Now if this theory bo admitted and all the facts warrant thin conclusion, this deposit of sand and gravel was necessarily full of ocean water, when it was covered by mud in the first period named. Had it not been full of water, and uothing else could have filled it, then the weight of the vast deposits above would have so com pressed the sand as to have made it incap able of containing any substance in quanti- ] ties. For the same reason nothing could hare !>een eomP rei? ' 11 ' from the bods of ilste above and below. The slate underlying and overlying is impervious water "> oil, being comprc ed mud. it has • and is as inoerviou- to liquid or fluid as class. Wo bare drilled through the deep conglomerate rocks thousands of times and have found no crevices or soam • through which any fluid could go down or come >ip into the rocks. The eonclnion therefore, vhich has become fixed in my mind f->r more than fifteen years, is that petroleum is the direct product of ocean water and has been made so in nature's own chemical labratory. . . . At first this might seem t" be a physical impos.-ibilitr. but when we con-ider that fresh witter can be converted into gas anil is highly inflauiablo and has been n<' t lor light and heat, it does not «in so impos sible. It has been stated a fact in the last few year> that petroleum in small quantities has been produced by chemical process from sea water. If this be the origin of petroleum and it seems to bethe onlv theory that will account for the facts, wemay expect to find petroleum in the sedimentary formations wherever an °cean shore is covered up at the proper depth and under proper chemical conditions. This will account for its wide distribution over the world and we may espe t 1 to " practicallv as inexhaustible as coal. In concluding I would remark ' ■'at 111 the year is",o it has been estimated uat about 2,o'K> barrels were produ d; in l-'.t. 500,000 barrel-, and 1861. 2.000 o<X> barre: : in 1862. 11,000,000: a - id now over 30,000,0'"i barrels are produced per annum along ti'e foothills of the Allegheny mountains with out including the Ohio or Lima he.d. Col orado or California. The total production of oetrroleum in this country up to date i> estimated to be about 500.000.000 barrels, and the value of the oil exported from this couutrv to the present date's estimated to be #1,100,000.000. It standsthird on the ex port list. . . , All these figures are given in rounu numbers but arc believed to bo approxi mately correct. No mining industry in the history of the world in which men have engaged ha- produced so many sudden fortunes and perhaps no one in which so manv were as suddenly lost. Laymen and Laywonien At the M. IJ. Conference at Omaha last Thursday the women delegate question was the last one disposed of The judiciary committee reported that the word "laymen" in the discipline did not mean both -exes. l>ut that it bad re ferenee to men only. The committee did not mean to take tho ground that the women should not be admitted, but -imply that the meaning of the word "laymen, as it was placed in the discipline year-* ago, did not include women. Dr. I). 11. Moore, the woman champion, <TQt the floor and offered a substitute declar ing that the plan of lay delegation wa- not a constitutional question, but it might be decided by the action of the General conference and that therefore the General conference might decide tho right t<> admit women to tho General conference without a constitutional change. 110 held further that tho word "layman" did mean women as well as men. The term might have been applied only to men at the time ■■ words were adopted, but by all justice and right the term ought to bo applied to both men and women. IT. A. J. Kynett did not agree with the report. 110 held that the word "laymen" meant both women and men. Dr. Hamilton offered a sub>titute providing that the annual conferences should vote upon the proposition to make the word "laymen" mean men only and in case the proposition was not carried by a two-thirds vote then the words la} men should therefore mean both men and women. This was a groat hit. It was received with hearty applause. Dr. J. M. Buckley ro'led out a vigorous speech going to show that the word "laymen' never had meant women. I>rs. Hamilton and Moore, he said, were trying to get the women into the conference by a truik. If this effort succeeded it would placu a ctain upon the record of the men who presented each a scheme and would be a questionable right granted to the women. There was great applause at the clo-o of his speech mingle*} with cries of "no, no, by the friends of the women. l>r. field, of Philadelphia, held that the admi.--ion ot women would drive the young men ami boy» on' of 'be ehiirch. He plead-d lor tho youi'jf iii ort, H.'iid, by tfrgint* tl.e conference and ail the *t<mi«ioof the church not to insist upon admitting w0n..,.,. Ur.

This, be said, was the only way u\ which the women can come into tn< Grand conference in a constitutional man ner. A motion was made to lay > r Hamilton's amendment on the table. It was adopted. Dr. Hamilton's amendment provides that the vofd "laymen" as ap plied to lav delegate-. mu»t meijn 3J»?e del egates, and in case this interpretation of the word is not sustained by a two-thirds vo f » of the annual conference and a three fourths voL" of the General conference then the word ■ i»yf.ien" shall mean both women and men, and will of ctmrse admit the women us lay delegate.", m ton's amendment was adopted i>y a vot« of 2:14 to 174. The remit »';u tuniultuou»lv applauded. The question W8- divided. Dr. Moore's part of the paper wa< laid or. the table. Dr. Hamilton's substitute wu then adopted by a vote of 241 to IGO to take the pi act) of all other parts ol the paper and be submitted to tLe annual conferences. The victory a'tu greeted by a long burst of applause. A resolution was submitted to ask the annual conferences to reduce the ratio ol representation from one delegate for »-.icb forty-five ministers one for every nmety ministers in the annual eouferences. Ii was adouted l»v a vote of 16» to i--#. 1 object of this is to make the tieneral con fereuM .i .smaller body. The roll was then called fo see !low nr»n> of the delegate were at the —"ssion, and liter fhe approval of the and the u»ual resolutions of thanks, the conference with devotional exercises adjourned nine die. The Briggs Case, lu the Presbyterian General Ai««ml>ly at Portland, Oregon, last Thursday, the minority report on the Brlggs ease was laid on the table by a vote of :!*•'> !.. 132 i the appeal wa-s entertained and the trial began. On Saturday the ease was finish ed, the appeal against the action of the New York Presbytery i" dismissing the ease was sustained by - ','ote as follows "sustain as a whole, 302; **:<!|stain in part," 127; "not to sustain," K7.

Western Cyclones. The towns of Wellington and Harper in Kansas were partly destroyed bv Cyclones last week, with great loss of life and prop erty. On Friday night a cyclone plowed through Wellington, destroying several block of its principal Imalness street, and killing and injuring hundreds of people. Kire broke out and one wonian perished in the flames. Trees were torn from their roots, houses turned around and stoves actually lifted until they lauded on the upper floorsof the ruins. Freight ears were picked up and carried UOO feet. In one instance a horse was taken from the ground and carried to . the top of a two torv building. A lit tle child was taken out of its cradle, carried two blocks and deposited on the ground without being injured, The Lutheran church was tnrnod com pletely over, the wmrt house demolished, Presbyterian church reduced to splinters. The principal block of the town is nothing but a pile of brick, mortar and glass. The old court lioii-.n. a solid two story stone structure, 'AM completely demolish cd, while one little frame ollieo by its side that a pair of donkey e.eild drag from its foundations y. ns left standing The most appalling scene, was that at the Phillips Home, where a it.tli was in pro gre-s when the cyclone bur t. I'lie dancers were given little opportunity to escape from the toppling structure. ,\s the building began swaying in the te'i Jie gale, the people iu the crowded ballromn wsuie u frantic rush (or the door. The stairways aim liullj wej-p immediately filled by the cruzed men and women, wh'r. ! tore at each other in their mad rush for the open air. With the crash of the wall about and over them, there arose a great wail of derdi.n from the imprisoned and doomed people. As the timber crushed down upon the struggling merry-maker their cries were thottlcd by the weight.of mass of timber above tiicui Then came the silence of death. Harper is a smaller tawn than Welling ton and in it hardly .•» building escaped de molition, and the place i. i-t.ewn with de bris from end to end. It is almost a intra c!o that more lives were not lost, as the death list contains now only seven names. Many were -eriously injured, and scores received slight Wounds. Schools and Wages.
