THE EXCITEMENT over the production Of
oil and the discovery Of new wells In the oil
centres Of Pennsylvania, has given way TO
an intense speculative mania, that pays lit
tie attention to production, and depends enc
tirely upon the fictitious values and rapid
fluctuations produced BY the on Exchange.
Producers, It Il said, seem inclined
TO let their wells take care Of them
selves and depend for their for
tunes upon the chances Of tho Exchange,
and the financial operationso Of Bradford and
OH City are conducted upon the basis OF
Wall street transactions, with 'bulls" and
''bears" struggling to elevate or depress the
price Of oil, regardless OF the rules of de-
mand and supply. Tho effect OF this excite
ment lie to spread tho spirit Of specn-
lation throughout the oil community,
increased TO an alarming extent
by the numerous instances OF
brokers reaping immense profits In very
few weeks. In Bradford all classes Of peo-
pie are seized with the infection, and
clerks, mechanics, statesmen, ,saleswomen and
even laborers, are known to have bought,
while the market was on the rise. The
| school Superintendent has found 1t neces-
cary to prohibit the lady teachers from spec
| ulating in Oil, on the ground that 1t de-
stroyed their efficiency as Instructors. The
professional gamblers find the quotations on
the oil market more enticing than all the
scductions OF King Faro, and the town seems
| given over to a carnival of blind and unrea-
souing financial adventure. To raise the
| price OF oil TO two dollars is the all-absorb-
| ing idea of these promiscuous investors, and
while some may realize, the chances, as
in all other species Of gambling,
arc against most of those who
| yield to the glttering temptation Of easily
acquired wealth. The general effect, Of
course, is DISASTROUS to the legitimate traffic,
and 1t will probably require grand crash,
involving hundreds in ruin, TO restore the
oil market to its equilibrium, and break UP
the evil gambling habits that now prevail.

Judge Davis used to tell some admirable
stories of an old Illinois judge, one of which
We chance particularly To remember. ON
at the judges was rather remarkable foi
conveying to jurors In his charges to them
as own opinions with regard to the merits
of the case. In one case he had done so
with great planness, but,to his amazement,
the jury hung out for hours without coming
to an agreement. The judge inquired Of
the bailitf what was the matter, and learned
from him that one juror was hanging out
against the other eleven. He sent for the
jury at once, and stating to the Jurors that
he had plainly lntimated how the case ought
to be decided, and he understood one Juror
was standing out against the other eleven,
he proceeded to rebuke the juror sharply
The obstinate juror was a nervous little
man, and as soon as the judge was done he
rose and said, Judge, may ray word 90
Yes, sir,o said the indignant Judge !;

FANNIE SMITHS CHURCH.
Dedication OF the Ediflce-How the Build
ing Fund Was Started.

Ing Fund was started.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. c0.--A little girl,
delicate and poorly clad, six years ago pro-
posed to clergyman who was administer
ing to her at her bedside that o church
should be built for people like herself who
were too indiiterently dressed to worship in
ordinary temples and ashamed TO minglc
with rich congregations. She placed In his
hands some copper and nickel coins, which
she said would do to begin the subscription
with. Her name was Fannie Smith and her
donation was $42t. Some time after this
she died. Yesterday the Memorial Presby-
terian Church, on Montgomery avenue,
below Eighteenth street, which had been the
iream of her life and for whose erection she
rave her savings, was opened with dedica-
tory ceremonies and the Rev. DR.. Mutch-
more, the executor OF little Fannie, duly
installed as rector. The church and lot has
cost 370, 800, OF which every cent is paid.
DR.. Mutchmore In 1875 was pastor of the
Cohocksnk Presbyterian Church. The
little girl WAS regular attendant, but being
scantily dressed only went In the evenings.
She was very small and weak, but full of
charity and gentleuess. One day DIR. Mutch-
more was waited upon by the mother. She
was greatly excited and told him that her
little daughter wished to see him. He went
and received from her hands the money
which formed the basis of the fund. The
services yesterday were attended by large
crowd. Rev Dr. Cattell of Lafayette Col
lege, Easton, preached in the morning. In
the afternoon Rev. DR.. Agnew gave an ad-
dress to the young people and Rev. Thomas
| Orr also spoke. The Rev. j. Edison Henry
OF Princeton Presbyterian Church delivered
the installation sermon In the evening, Rev.
DR.. johnson preached the charge to the
pastor and Dr. CAttell preached tho charge
| to the congregation. After the services
about 100 persons paid s25 each for one oi
the coins which the little girl gave to DR..
Mutchmore. They were nearly all one,
three and five cent pieces.
