THE TWO PIPE LINES.
HOW Tflß nu DKOII. IN TAKEN TO TUX
MAKKICT.
A Nlmplf Mriirni #1 I>olnr R Tfry Lnrfn
Work hr Two Corporallona.
Two pipo-lino oompanios supply tlic
whole oil country with stornffo and trans
portation, aayg writer in tho Century
for July. Ono of these, tho Tidewater
Company, taps a portion of tho wclla ill
tho Bradford field alono, and onds at
Tomanend, in Eastern Pennsylvania,
where it transfers its oils to tank oars on
tho Philadelphia and Reading Railway
and tho Central Railway of New Jersey.
It is comparatively a small concern, but
is important ns tho only competitor to
its gigantic rival, the United Pipe Lines,
a corporation running its mains to every
district, largo or small, in the oil region,
having its termini at tho son-board and
at the throe principal refining cities of
tho interior, and possessing a tankage
capacity of over thirty millions of bar
rels. Tho United Pipe Linos corpora
tion is the great Standard Oil Coni puny
under a different name, tho controlling
ntorost in tho stock of tho two concerns
ls'ing owned by tho same mon. Tho
United States stores and transports; the
Standard buys, refines, Bells, and ex
ports. This double headed corporate
powor is tho monarch of tho oil trade.
Only the producing interest remains in
n multitude of hands; nil else is virtually
concentrated in tho grasp of a little
group of mon who mojiugo tho two com
panies.
Lot ns look for a moment at tho sys
tom by which petroleum is handled. It
is remarkably simple, inexpensive, and
efficient. When tho tank at a well is
nearly full, notice is sent to tho nearest
agency of tho Pi]>c Lines. A man comes
promptly with a measuring pole and a
little Isxilt of certificates. Ho gauges
the oil in the tank, unloekM tho stop
cook connecting with the outlet pipe,
and lets as much oil run out as the well
owners want to dispose of. Then In
shuts off tho flow, measures what re
main* in tho tank, and makes out a trip
licate certificate, showing depth of nil at
the Imgimiing and at tho end of tho run-
Ono ho gives to the well manager who
has signed with him, one lie sends to the
central office of (ho Pipe Lines at Oil
City, and ono ho keeps. A telegram is
then sent to the central office, giving no
tice that so many inches of oil have boon
run from llio tank. Kvory tank has its
number on tho hooka of tho company,
mid itn enpncity is recorded in inches.
On reooiving tho certificate of tlionm,
the number of barrels mul hundredths
Ofabni-rel taken from tho tank iH naeer
tniUfil by n tnblo, tlio oredit is given to
tlm wi ll for that amount of oil leas three
-f *er dent., which is deducted for sedi
ment and evaporation.
Tho account is not only kept in gross
with tho woll, but ia divided ho that
each shore-owner, if there lie many (and
there are lianally from three to a dozen),
gets Ids separate credit for the amount
of oil lie ia entitled to from the run. Tin
United Pipe Lines is not only a t rails
portation oompany, hut also a hank ol
deposit- for oil and an insurance company,
anil it keeps the hooks of every well it
serves.
Tho oil from the well ia now in pos
session of tlio Pipe Oompany, and is in
one of its big storage tanks mixed with
oil from scores of other wells. There i
no separation and no distinction of qual
ity. All crude petroleum, from what
ever well or district it oomes, is classed
together as of uniform value. When i
jiriHluoer sells oil, ho gives an order foi
a transfer to the purchaser of as main
barrels from his credit balance ns he has
disposed of; or, if he wants to use hit
oil in stove as collateral to borrow
money upon or convert it into a negoti
able certificate, lie gets what is called at.
acceptance, which is virtually n certified
_flirek. These acceptances are issued ii
even amounts of one thousand barrel
each. They are passed from hand I
hand nil over tho world, but must, by i
rule of the company, he sent in ouec 1
s'x months for renewal, or i. double stoi
ago charge is made. Frequently tin
return covered on their hacks with it
dorsements. When tile holder of an in
.oeptanoe or a credit balntioo wants tin
Viil for use or shipment it is delivered n
either of tho main shipping points, li
paying twenty cents per barrel as tli
pilinge charge, and a storage charge o
fifty cents per day per one thousand liar
rels. Storage for the first twenty das
is free, however, to the producer, and i
purchaser has ten days' storage witliou
charge.
Insurance is n mutual affair. Losse.
are assessed on nil the oil in the line
and on holders of acceptances mid credit
balances for oil in store. Lust year tin
assessments amounted to only eight
tenths of one per cent. A loss of less
thau twenty thousand barrels is consid
ered too small to assess, and is borne hr
the Pipe Company. Nearly all lossi >
are caused by lightning striking the hi;
storage tanks and firing Hie gas, which
in turn ignites tlio oil. In 1880 eight
tanks were burned in this wav, hut n
1882 only one tank was struck, altlio.igl
the number of tanks lias been doublet
during the two years. A method of pro
lection was recently devised, which i
believed to lie effective. A lightning
rod, twenty-five foot high, is attached
to four broad hands of iron shouting
reaching from tho apex to the covered
tank and out of tho sides, and thus, ac
cording to tho accepted theory, tlio elec
tricity which the tank accumulates i>
safely discharged into the air.
The pipe lino system was a thing ot
small beginnings mid slow grow th. A
long ago as 181)3 a young Boston attor
uev, who hail established himself on tin
Tarr farm, ono of the first producing
districts on Oil Creek, conceived tin
plau of transporting crude petroleum
through tubes, and had some pqx> man
ufaetured for tlio purpose, hut neve
put it down. Two years later the fir
pipe was laid. It extended from Pithol*
to the Allegheny River, a distance of
about fifteen miles, but the joints were
so defective that it was used only a few
wcioks. It served to show, however,
that the general plan of pipe transporta
tion was practicable, and it was not long
before a ruuubor of pipe companies were
firmed. Their object was only to take
tho oil from tho welis to the nearest
railway lino or to the Allegheny River,
on which it was then floated down t<
Pittsbnrgin tanks upon flat tsiats. For
v number of years tho pipe lines were in
laid <alor, owing to numerous failures
among tho companies and to their lack
of efficiency. Tho system gained
ground, however, from its evident supe
riority, and in IS7C the consolidation of a
number of lines formed tho United Pipe
Linos, a corporation which grew in
power from year to year, and finally
absorbed all tbo old concerns. It now
owns over three thousand miles of pipes
and over five hundred iron (auks, with a
storage capacity of from 20,000 to
55,000 barrels each.
IVliat Causes so Many Fires,
INST'K IM'I! MEM SAY THAT THEY HI'III MO
yfiOU SPONTANEOUS COJCBUSnON.
jin nr: aee managers think many of the
fin a throughout tho country spring from
spoiltaneons combustion. Ono of them
says on the subject. Tho moro usual
cause i'f these fires are “oily waste,”
“rubbing rags,” “Excelsior” used for
rubbing and finishing, “oiled rags" for
cleaning sewing machines, oiled paper
used for lining packing cans, Iron grind
ings, piles of coal, oto. Tho present ob
ject it. to suggest practical methods for
overcoming tho danger of spontaneous
fin s from I hose principal causes with
which we come in daily contact.
Oily waste is the most common ennse
of s. i '‘alleons combustion, since it is
found in < very factory, store, hotel, of
fice building, etc., having oven an ele
vator in it. The usual custom prevails
among the hotter houses to remove the
“oily avbblo” daily, yet. it is quite com
mon to find it lying npon the doors,
upon atul under workbenches, and often
with (ha clean waste.
“Oily waste” which is permitted to lie
around during the day is not likely to be
cleaned up carefully at night, and even
in (lie h at establishments fragments will
fall under machinery, benches, tables,
and heating npuratus, besides tho sur
plus carried into rat holes. Then agnin
it is frequently swept up with other rub
bish, placed in barrels, and kept over
night, to the hazard of property valued
at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A Cruel Stepmother.
The carelessuoss or cruelty of n stej>-
inotber (the head-wifo of Asiatic tnles) is
a prolific central idea in Provencal ro
mance. While the husband wri engaged
in distant adventures tournaments,
feudal wars, or crusading expeditions—
tho wife, who was often little more than
i child, remained at tho mercy of the
occasionally unnmiablo dowager who
ruled the mnsterless chateau.
Tho cast* of cruelty ia exemplified in
tho story of Gniihem do Beauvoiro, who
has to leave liis child-wife live weeks
after marriage. ‘‘ I counsel you, mother,”
he says, as be sets out, “to put her to do
no kind of work; neither to fetch water,
nor to spin, nor yet to knead bread.
Send her to mass, and give her good
dinners, and let her go out walking with
other ladies,”
At the end of five weeks the mother
put the young wife to keep swine. The
wine girl wont up to tin* mountain top
indsa igand sang. Guilheni de Beau
voiro, who was beyond the sen said to his
page, “Docs it not seem as though my
vife were singing?”
lie travels at all speed over mountain
md sea till he comes to his home, where
no one knows him. On tho way he
meets the swine girl, and from her he
in ars that she lia.v to eat only that which
is rejected of the swine. At tho house
ho is welcomed ns ail honored guest;
-nipper is laid for him, nml ho asks that
tho swine girl whom ho has seen may
come and sup with him. When she sits
lowu beside him the swine girl bursts
ii to tears.
“Why do you weep, swine girl ?”
“For seven years 1 have not supped at
able!”
Then in the bitterness of vet another
mtrago to whieli tho vile woman subjects
.or she cries aloud, “Oh ! Gnilhcm do
Lh-iiuvoiro, who art beyond the sea, God
help thee ! Verily thy cruel mother has
ihiindoued mo I”
Secretly Guilhem tells her who ho is
uni in proof of it shows her the ring slit
gave him. In tlio morning the mothi r
-mis tho swine girl to go after her pigs.
"If you were not my mother,” says
I uilheini, “I would have you hung; ns
vou are my mother, 1 will wall you up
octwecu two walls.”
THK COACHMAN'S NAME.
A family living in the country hired a
icw coachman, and his name was Wil
iam. As both the gentleman of the
louse anil his eldest son were named
William, it was thought advisable, to
ivoid confusion, to call the coachman by
ais last name.
William had no objection to the plan,
uni was asked to state his surname,
'-Deary," said he with a diabolical
ivi-.i.
The family shuddered. Think of it.
How would this sort of thing sound:
"Deary, come here a minute. Cul
me some flowers for a bouquet, Deary.
How long I have been waiting for you,
Deary!”
The family resolved to standby Wil
liam.
The Boston Pont says that a St. Louis
ii.vi traveling on the plains was ns
mlled by wolves, but having a gas hill
n his pocket ho threw it among them,
and they fled howling.
THE LIFE OF CONGRESSMEN.
An Old Member*! Advice l n Vnuna One
About ISoarU Inn llnuero nud Ktlfeiwr*.
Anew member of Congress came here
a few days ago, writes a Washington cor
respondent, to make some arrangements
for a winter residence, fie speedily ran
across an old member from his own city,
which will not Ire named hero, but it is
in tho Northwest, and tho political re
cruit asked tho old veteran where he had
hotter look for a house. “How many
arc there in your family ?” asked the old
member. “Only my wife and J, ’ was
tho reply. “You don’t want a house at
all,” said tho old member. “ Where
shall Igo to lxmrd ?" “Go to tho .
That is just the plneo for you cut-gla-s
gentlemen. You can live there for a
great deal less than it would cost yon t<
keep house. A and B , who
tried ovory hotel in town, spent bis po
litical days there.”
"Wlmt did A pay ?” asked tlic
new member.
"He had his wife and daughter with
him, and he paid ®7OO a month.”
“Whew I” whistled tlio new member,
who could pay 8700 a month if ho really
wanted to. "I’m not going to pay 8700
a month. I know where I can get very
good accommodations for $l5O a month."
"Put another 8150 with that and com
promise ou $300,” said tho old member,
“and go in for gomo of the et cot eras.
I have been here for some years,” he
continued, “and I can give you a few
points. Yon don't want to bury your
self in any $l5O place. If you were a
common citizen, you and your wife could
get very good accommodations for tlic
figures you name, but a Congressman
can’t do it. You want to go to a place
where tho people will know you are a
member of Congress and will advertise
you—give you a boom. You haven't
any idea how totally obscure you can be
next winter if you are not careful.
Every now member of Congress is looked
on as an accident. If ho is re-elected it
is assumed that his constituents did it
on purpose, and ho gets treated with
corresponding respect. But lie is of no
particular account his first two years.
You come hero next winter a now mem
ber, aul personally unknown to the
leaders of the House, and yon get tacked
on to tho tail end of tho unimportant
committee—the Committee on Revolu
tionary claims, or on expenditures in
the Htato Department—and you never
catch theoye of the Speaker, and it will
surprise you to find how small a part of
the Government you are and how little
you count in Washington, though at
home you are a prominent citizen in one of
the great cities of tho country. Therefore
von want to livy whero you will bo of
e.nough account to compensate you for
your obscurity at the capitol. Suppose
yon go to the 8150 place. You’d have
good food and a good room, but nobody
will remember that yon are a Congrei
man or care if tLey did. Now, how
would you like to put in a hard day’s
work at tho capitol, wearing yourself out
>n a committee where there is plenty of
work and no glory, anil then go to your
boarding-bouse and be asked where yon
have been all day? Yon wouldn’t like
it. You’ve got money, and you'd butter
live whero you can get some enjoyment
out of being a Congressman.
“By tho way,” said (lie old member,
recurring to Ibis subject, “ , whom
I refer to, used to have pretty comforta
ble quarters at the hotel 1 spoke of.
C called on him once and was im
pressed with that fact, ‘A ,’ said he,
‘you have nice rooms here. When your
term expires I think I'll take them.
What do they cost you?’
“ ‘One hundred and seventy-five dol
lars a week,' was the reply.
“‘Good grnoious!' exclaim ed C -
‘I don’t want- to buy tlio hotel.' ”
Put, of course, a nnvu can't pay <>l7s ,
week for hoard unless ho has something
besides his Congressional salary of slob
a week to live on. Plenty of men i
- have fortunes that make their
salaries comparatively unimportant. On
the other hand, there mo Senators and
Representatives who are here without
tlieir families and who don't pay more
than SSO or S6O a mouth for board and
lodging, mid others bring their wives
and hoard very comfortably for a SIOO a
month, more or less, lint then they
don’t get quite so much advertising or
booming as the rich man who can pay
twice that per week.
Rig Names for Children.
There ought to lie some punishment
i for parents who burden their children
with big names. Sometimes a bov has
the gumption to change his name rather
than submit to tho outrage. Advised by
some old women a pair of Kentucky
parents named a hoy Gamaliel, and when
tho old women would come tlio old wo
men would say; “Where’s Gammy? I
want to see little Gammy!" “Gamniv.''
filled with disgust, avoided the old wo
men, and one day he was sent to school.
“What is your name, little hoy?" asked
the teacher. “John !” boldly spoke up
the boy. Tho spell of the old women
was broken. "John” became his name
at school, tlieu at home, and to this day
he is “John.”
A Shepherdess.
M iss Dora Kinney, of Wild Cat, lud..
is the laws shepherdess of tho Wabasli.
A few years ago an undo gave her an or
phaned lamb to raise by hand, which she
did successfully, and, becoming so much
interested in sheep husbandry, sho pro
cured a mate for the lamb, and she now
sports a fold of twenty-eight old sheep
and thirty-three lambs—sixty-one in all
—from the first starting pair. Miss Kin

W ANCIENT FOItT I) I SCO VE It El).
liar I li-ivorka < 'out n in Ina Hlanv Skulls Found
iu Dnkntn A Supposition,
A special from Ke.liield, Dakota, says:
‘Several parties at work on a farm four
aiul a half miles south of Bed field have
discovered an old fort, which occupied
nearly two acres, and from which nearly
200 human skulls have been exhumed.
Ou an elevation of ground nearly 150
feet higher than thesurrounding country,
and tit a distance of one half a mile west
of the Chicago and Northwestern Bail
road, is a fort nearly round, and no
doubt years and years ago it was the
means of defense for some tribe which
was eventually overpowered and massa
cred, This earth-work was thrown up
with a ditch on either side, and atone time
three feet wide and of the same depth.
At a point on the south there is sm open
ing, and the intrenchments were dug
about 20 feet to a gulch that led to a
miihll lake a quarter of a mile distant.
The human skulls were found at the
western side of the fort, and the mystery
cannot bo solved by any one. In a space
•1 feet deep bv 18 inches square there
were over a dozen skulls found, as if they
were thrown in together. No other
bones were found, and the only solution
s that the party were massacred and left
where they fell until the wolves had
picked the bones, when they were picked
q> and buried in one grave.
“There are three theories advanced.
First, it is stated tliat a party
of nearly 700 people started from South
ern Wisconsin, and before they reached
he Missouri River were met by the sav
iges and many were massacred and the
survivors turned back into Minnesota:
second, from the skulls one would judge
that the people were taken prisoners and
slaughtered. The reason for this con,
j 'eture is that on nearly all the same side
of the head is smashed in. Third, the
trench where they were found is only 10
feet long and 3 feet wide, and it is not
known how many have been exhumed
some saving that over 250 have been taken
mt, and almost all of them have double
teeth all around on tho lower jaw, and
is neither Indians nor Europeans as a
rule have teeth of that description, they
probably date back to the mound-build
is. Some of the skulls have no fore
heads, and look like those of the “mis
ing link," being shaped differently from
any ever seen at this age, while others
are lliiely shaped. The correspondent
ntd an interview with Drifting Goose, a
mb-chief of the Sioux trilie of Indians,
mt nothing was learned. Not a stone,
istohet, button, or anything that could
assist in identifying the race they be
longed to lias yet been found.’’
