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.

RAILROAD BLUNDERING. Mail RnaskltH aa4 Recklessness sf tko Train lilspsirhcrs aaO Olkara. 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.

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 Btate University, and until recently a leading prohibitionist, at Kansas City, Mo., has been expelled from the party lor having a barroom in tho hotel which is under his control. 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. iii
