The Failing Oil Wells OF Pennsyl
vanfa.

The most recent statistics of the Pc
troleum product Of Pennsylvania show
falling of during the month Of July
last and for number Of months pre-
ceding as compared with corresponding
periods of last year. Stowells Pstro-
Ieum Reporter, of August %, expresses
the opinion that a turning point has
been reached, and that in the future the
production will not be likely to exceed
the demand, as has been the case hither-
to. In July, 1880, there were ASP wells
drilling aud 431 rigs building, against
379 now drilling and 376 rigs building,
showing falling off of 1913 wells. The
estimated production for July, 1881, was
2,372, 67S barrels, an amount less
than that produced in the June
preceding, and also less than the
product of September and October
of last year. From an extended review
of the situation it is deduced that Gun
less very productive new basin is dis.
covered, of which there is no sign, the
decline in the gross product will proceed
steadily" The consequence anticipated
is that the stock of crude oil in the region
will be held more firmly, and the range
Of prices must be permanently high
er than during the last few years." The
oil shipped reduced to its crude equiva-
lent out of producing regions during
July has been reported as follows: By
pipe lines, 1,013, 4O2 barrels; by rail,
500, 81 barrels. The wells recently dis
covered in Allegheny county, New
York, will not, it is thought. compensate
for this diminution of the Pennsylvania
product.

The Erlanger Syndicate.
Lexington Transcript


The company of capitalists known as
the Erlanger syndicate are attracting
great attention in this section at present,
in view of the fact that they have re-
Gently leased the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad, great thoroughfare which ex.
tends through the breadth of our State.
The syndicate is composed of a num-
Der of European capitalists, with Mr..
Erlanger, an immensely wealthy gentle
man, at their head. They own and con.
troll complete system of railways in the
South, and by the investment of their
capital and their energy and enterprise
they are doing much to build up the
waste places of the South, and to make
the whole Southern country blossom as
a rose.
The history of the formation of the
Erlanger syndicate is not without q
tinge of romance. During the war Mr..
Slidell, of Louisiana, was Confederate
ambassador to France, and was accom-
panied to that country by his beautiful
and attractive daughter, young lady Of
rare graces and attainments, who
reigned a belle in the gay Partisan
salons, and was sought in marriage by
numbers of titled and aristocratic gen
tlemen. Her heart was won, however,
by Mr.. Erlanger, and they were married.
After the war she succeeded in enlisting
his sympathies for the upbuilding of the
stricken and PROSTATE South, and he or
ganized company for the purpose of
investing capital in developing the re-
sources of the Southern States. This
syndicate has invested largely in rail
roads, and we are glad to. learn that they
are making money largely and rapidly.
1t is thus, by singing the songs Of her
Zion in a strange land, that a noble
Southern woman has contributed SO
largely to the wealth, the prosperity and
upbuilding of her beloved native land.

1t is announced by the London papers
that after visiting Germany the Princess
Louise Will return Immediately to Eng
land, and sail for Canada On the Goth of
October While the Princess probably
knows her own business best, the Ca
madam papers evidently do not think So,
since for the past six months they have
continually agitated the question of why
she preferred to remain away from her
husband for more than year, and in
doing this have not failed to parade some
very unpleasant insinuations regarding
the alleged imcompatibility of temper
between Louise and Lorne. The last
named individual has also come in for a
goodly share of caustic comment, and
to the outside public it is very evident
that the Canadians are not particularly
infatuated with the idea of being ruled
by Scotchman whose only claim to the
distinction conferred upon him is the
fact that he was selected as an eligible
husband for one of Victoria's daughters
for whom suitable King or Prince
could not be found.

The Peoples Church, Chicago, under
the ministration of Rev. DR.. Thomas,
was crowded Sunday in expectation OF
a sermon from that gentleman, and there
was almost general disappointment when
he contented himself with a brief ad-
dress. In substance he said that, mas
much as he had been suspended from
ministerial functions, he would follow
the advice of counsel and not attempt
to exercise them. He would await the
action of the General Conference, and
whatever that might be, he would return
to them. The exercises were conducted
by Rev, DR.. Miller, one of DR.. Thomas
counsel

President White, late NJ mister to Ger
many, in an interview in the New York
World, says: The electric railway of
Siemens Brothers. as laid in Berlin and
Paris, is a perfect success. 1 think it
will create q revolution before long. The
elevated roads must soon adopt that sys-
TEN, for it does away with the wear and
tear Of heavy engines. The Siemens
Brothers are preparing to establish a new
road in Berlin about four miles long
The only apparatus the car carries i:
contained in a box underneath the floor,
about three feet long, two feet broad and
eighteen inches high. The car stops
and starts as easily as a horse car, and
runs at the rate Of about fifteen or TWEEN
tY miles an hour" 1t is little singular
that no authentic information as to the
cost of running the electric horse cars is
obtainable.

In the barren wastes of Nevada dis
coveries are constantly being made OF
vast deposits of salt, soda, nitre, sui
phur, etc. on the desert plains and in
the desert hills that are destitute of veg
station, except scattering, stun;ed sage
brush and grease wood, 10, 900 acres of
which would scarcely sustain ali OK, and
where horned toad can scarcely live,
are also found gypsum, asbestos, silica,
kaolin, cinabar, plumbago, bituminouS
thale, indications of coal, iron and many
other deposits, as well as veins Of cop
per, anthony, galena, gold, silver and
other metals, all of which, VIII fully
developed, will constitute immense
sources of wealth. But little progress
has been made in the development of
these valuable deposits solely on account
of the want of some cheaper means of
transportation than has yet been afford
ed. But they are coming. Already
narrow gauge railroads are being pro-
jected and constructed to reach these de-
posts.

The Baltimore american thinks the
fact that the White House is deserted
has no greater significance now than it
had when Gen. Grant was President and
used to spend his summers at Long
Branch. 1t is the merit of republican
institutions that the public business is so
systematized and so diffused that it can
90 on for a considerable while without
any inconvenience, although one or sew
eral high officials are absent from their
posts Of duty" This is, saws the Boston
Post, pure nonsense. Gen. Grant was
able TO return to his post Of duty. if the
emergency seemed large enough to him;
but President Garfield would not be
allowed TO consider public question in
a business way, even were revolution or
invasion to occur. The present deser-
ton of the White House is a necessity
Of physical disability. not the choice Of
a well man who can return 10 it at a
moments notice, if necessary.

Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, has
written letter approving the objects of
the Mississippi River Improvement Con
vention, which is to be held in st. Loui,
October 26. He says as great as the
Mississippi valley is at present, it is yet
in its infancy co impaired to what it will
be if Congress will only give such an
appropriation as will give six feet of
water from st. Paul to st. Louis, eight
feet from st. Louis to Cairo. and ten
feet from Cairo to New Orleans, and
then such navigation Of the Missouri
and Ohio rivers as will be commensurate
with the demands of those streams.

A Leading Professor Speaking of



DIR. s., the prominent Eastern medical
lecturer, says: "Every day sensible people
come to me complaining Of their health

quiries always are-whet surmise-nature's
laws have been totally disregarded; conse-
quently the blood, the stream of life, be-
comes northumberland as result of this
blood poisoning, find dyspepsia and dis

and kidneys, accompanied by headache,
nervous debility, and other impaired organic
portions, often vergiDg ON paralysis. In
order to keep the digestive organs In proper
health and strength, l and my friends in the
profession have recommended Browns Iron
Bltters-they act so mildly and soothingly,
never leaving any unpleasant after-efects,
strengthening the organs Of digestion, and
permanently removing every symptom OF
IN health, languor and debility. No remedy
in the East gives such good satisfaction as
Browns Iron Bitters. and all druggists can
procure It for you. Don't be persuaded to

alcohol. and is the only preparation of Iron
that does not blacken the teeth. "-SssH.
