As a hasi^of' (York for those who love
10 revel in amazing ‘figures, wc may slate
that statistics show that 53,000 wells
have been drilled 'in Pennsylvania hud
New York since tho discovery of petro
leum, at a oost of $200,000,000. These
wells havo produced 310,000,000 barrels
of oil, which was sold at the wells for
$500,000,000. TlmprepVesented a pro lit
to the produce of $300,000,000. Tito
amount of Qircxportod is placed at
5,331,102,023 gallons. In tho pool in
Washington county alono $3,200,000 has
been expended in machinery and drill-
tag. This does noty- include the many
millions that are represented thero in tho
natural gas industry. Independent of
•ho oil business there is ubout $50,000;000
invested in natural gas plants in Penn
sylvania. These am majestic figures,
and servo to show the maguitudo of tho
011 and gas business.
It may be of interest to see what arm
ies arc maintained w ggd at what ^ost, by
die leading countries of Europe, til iff
comparison with our o^vn. Tito foilow-
ln g talilo gives ftio number of soldiers
actually in service, and the number that
can be called out in time of war. A com
parison of tho soldiers with the popula
tion would show that in the event of war
almost every man ingho, country can be
called into scrvico:

An express over the Indianapolis & St.
Louis Railway was wrecked near Fern
Station, Indiana. The entiro train, ex
cept the sleeping car, left the track, and
the engineer and fireman, named Red-
dington, father and eon, were both
killed. The rest were violently shaken,
but no one was seriously injured. Two|
passenger trains of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railroad, collided on:
a curve around Eagle Poiutj Iowa, by
which two engineers and one fireman
were instantly killed, tho other liremun
and a brakeman dying during the fore-J
noon. The brakeman was riding on tho
engine so as to open tho switch at Peru,
three miles beyond and the regular meet-’
ing place of tho two trains. An express 1
messenger nnd one of the postal clerks
wero badly shaken up, but not seriously
hurt. A train despatcher at llonoy Pot,
Pa., allowed two froight trains on tho
Pennsylvania Ruiiroad, going in opposite!
directions, to come together on the track.
The trains were running at tbo rate of
twenty miles an hour. They collided on
a deep eurvo. Tho engineers and firemen
jumped and saved their lives. Four box
oars loaded with giant powder exploded
with terrific force, tearing up rocks,
tracks and tics and wrecking nboub
tweuty-flvc cars. Tho loss to the railroad
company is $100,000. Both engines were
thrown down the embaukment and wero
totally wrecked. Near Forest, on tho
Pittaburg, Fort Wayne & Cliicngo Rail
road, tho section of a froight train broke
down, and the second section collided
with it, instantly killing John Boucii, the
foreman of tho second section. There
wero several cars of oil in tho second
section, and they caught fire and soon tho
entire forepart of tho train was wrapped
in flames. While the trainmen were en
deavoring to subdue the lire, near loadod
with dynamite exploded with terrible
violence, destroying several cars, tearing
up the track and injuring the engineer of
tho second section and oii'i train]?.

A LIVELY MCENB.
Dr. McGlynn mado an address boioro
the New York association of 5Iothodist
preachers. Dr. McGlynn referred to his
oxcominuulcatlon “For preaching Chris
tianity I wns brought up in," nnd after
referring to the peculiar position in which
he found himself in facing a body so dis
tinctly representative of tbo Protestant
religion, he presented tho Ilonry Gcorgo
"Tai
land theories and dofended them, as rep
resenting tho cause of humanity. A res
olution of thanks to Dr. McGlynn for his
“able, eloquent and instructive address,
and wishing him God-speed in hia efforts
to dfffuso tho divino teachings of tho
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man," crcatod great confusion, which
one clergyman characterized as resemb
ling a beer garden.
PROHIBITIONIST EXPELLED.
Dr. Laws, president of tiio 5Iissouri

The Lime-Kiln Club.
In view of tho recent disastrous ex
plosions and conflagrations in different
sections of the country, the Committee
on Personal Safety and Non-Injury have
recommended the following rules to
members of tho elub:
“Doan’ scratch a match on yev leg
onless prepared to jump ober do nighost
fence.
“If you know dot a biler am gwino to
explode, drop down on de ground an’
keop yor mouf shut.
“Any pusson who smokes a clay pipe
in bed should kiver de bowl wid a piece
of ole bootleg an’ hire somebody to keep
him awake.
“Thero should be no smoking in the
vicinity of the olub wood-box. Wood-
boxes am liable to explode at any mo
ment, an’ when dey does de scone of
ruin an’ desolashun am ’nnff to appall
de stoutest heart.
“Paradise Hall am liable to take fira
any eaveniu’ when a meetin’ ar’ in prog
ress. In ense a fire are diskivered de
outer guard should notify de inner
guard. Dis latter gem’lan should quiet
ly notify de Keeper of de Bed Doah.
Dis pusson should softly mensliun da
faok to de Keeper of de Sacred Relics,
an’he in turn should enter de lodge
room nu’ place de matter befo’ de Presi
dent.
“We recommend dut seben two-gallon
jugs, each one full of water, be placed
in de auntyroom os a precaushun.
“Also, dat de insurance on de hall be
increased to sicli a figger dat, in case it
burns up an’ Samuel Shin, Pickles
Smith an’ Judge Ohewso ar’ consumed
wid it, deir loss will be our gain.
“We would harder recommend dat de
janitor be supplied wid some sort of
hand fire extinguisher. We doon mean
anythin’ costly an’ elaborate, wid a pic
ture of De Soto diskiverin’ de Missis
sippi, River painted on do side, but sun-
tlnn’ combinin' utility an’ cheapness.”
Op motion of Giveadam Jones the
, suggestions were adopted.
The most dangerous men in the world
are those who are half fool and half
knave. They are always boing used by
rascals and always saying they meant
for the best.
