BUFFALO, December 6,-The mysterious
disappearance of Angus Potter and Peter
Manners, two we'll known operators in the
northera Oil aeld, whose fortunes were
swamped in tie recent cd panic, is the
subject of universal consideration. No one
knows their whereabouts, AID the idea is
gaining ground that they have committed
suicide. As q fitting parallel to their case
comes that of John Ford, we'll known, in-
iluential and wealthy oil producer and op-
orator in the market. Through the intense
excitement created by his extensive and
irremedial losses his mind gave way and
he became raving maniac. The physic-
ians at the Pennsylvania State Asylum at
Warren, where he has been conveyed say
his reason Is entirely dethroned and there
is no possibility of his recovery. These are
bat few Of the instances of the disastrous
results Of
The Great Or Panic
which are becoming more apparent daily in
all directions Of the petroleum producing
country. Hundreds Of persons in all
classes of life and business have either been
utterly ruined or seriously crippled. The
great panic of 1873 was not more disastrous
in its results on the people of this section
than is the present demoTaliZing situation.
Some estimate the losses as high as five
million dollars, and there seems to be no
doubt that the amount will not fall below
three millions. The feeling against the
Standard Oil Company and the United
Pipe lines is intense, as it is presumed that
the lions share OF the profits from the
speculation has gone to line their Golfers.
Some placeslwhere the reaction has set in
business is greatly .paraly Zed. Merchants
of hitherto good and substantial standing
have been bankrupted and compelled to
close their establishments, while the people
generally are put to their wits ends to OBJ
tain funds to iiquidate their bills, so little
money is in circulation. The worst OF the
matter is that there is no likelihood OF an
immediate change for the better. Had the
blow fallen on few the disaster could
easily be remedied, but Constantly develop
ing facts show that nearly every person
who had a cent to spare invested in hopes
of reaping a rich reward. The reward has
come, but very different from the oHe in
diCated.

The frequent complaints made in Eng
land against Queen Victoria's complete dis
regard of the court show she is paid te
keep up, are continually drawing attention
to her riches and her boarding propensi-
ties. She never draws less than two mil
lion dollars annually from the government
for court expenses. She is wealthy pro
prietress by inheritance and has acquired
more than e., 900. 900 from certain pos
sessions of intestates which revert to the
crown. Prince Albert during his lifetime
made extensive investments in the heart OF
London which have proved enormously
profitable. The Prince of Wales has o
fancy for entertaining and display, but the
queen will not assist him in bearing the
heavy expense and his own allowance,
though liberal, will not carry on the state
show in sty e. The shopkeepers are the
loudest grumblers, because it hurts trade.

The threatening aspect of affairs in
Egypt is frightening the Christian Jews in
Jerusalem, and they are beginning to look
around for means to escape and place of
refuge in case the storm should break over
the Holy Land. Edith Holman Hunt,
writing from Palestine, says: Jerusalem
is the center of fanatacIsm for all the PEG
Piles of the world, and should the long
threatened storm burst the Christians there
viii be among the first to feel it, No
wonder; but there are not so many of them
to drive out as there were Moslems for the
Christians to cast out of Spain, and there
are only thirty-six miles of bad roads from
Jerusalem to Jaffa. AS there are people
of every nation in Palestine. the correspon
dent above named suggests that each gov
eminent send a frigate to Jaffa as refuge
while the storm is raging.

The object in giving this notice is not
to conceal facts, but to give notice of facts,

of the case the form of the notice becomes
