Big Blaze at Titusville.

TITUsvILLE, April l4-A fire occur
red in this city this morning which for
extent of damage surpasses any mis-
fortune that has ever befallen the place
The blaze started in the Parchall
House and from thence spread to the
Parchall Opera House, which was
connected with it. The firemen labor
ed hard to put out the blaze, or at best
to confine it to the hotel and opera
house, but were unsuccessful, the
flames enveloping the magnificent
Brunswick Hotel and completely de-
stroying it. The fire is still raging,
but there are indications that it has
run..its course. The Parchall House
was one of the best hotel properties in
the Oil regions, and was run in con-
nection with the large opera house.
The Brunswick Hotel was built by the
torpedo millionaire, Roberts who died
about two years ago. He had fitted it
up in the most gorgeous style after the
manner of the pA atial hotels of New
York. 1t was not success, and some
time ago was closed for lack of patron

The Petroleum Outlook.

The outlook for better prices for
crude petroleum in the near future is
encouraging, Notwithstanding the new
developments in the Sheffield and But
ler oil fields. 1t is conceded on all
hands that the Richburgh field has
reached the highest production which
can be reasonably expected and that
the extent of the territory in that sec
ton is clearly defined. The Bradford
field is gradually declining in produc-
tion and the new strikes in other ter
ritory do not more than make up the
decline in the yield of old wells. The
total oil production is now placed at
$4,000 barrels per day, and the indica-
tions are, from every standpoint, that
by the first of August the yield will
decline to $4,000 barrels per day.
From the best informed sources we
learn that the demand during the year
1882, will average $4,000 barrels Of
crude per day. For the eight months
ending with February 28th, 1882, the
value of the petroleum exported is Of
fcially reported to be $34, 453, ,55l, an
increase Of over 100000 compared
the exports of the same period for 1881.
This demonstrates, in measure, the
increase OF the foreign demand and
consumption. The home consumption
is rapidly increasing, especially in the
Southern and Western States.
1t is reasonable to believe that with
the declining production and increased
consumption, it will not be long until
the large stocks in the oil region will
be drawn upon heavily, crude oil will
then command $500 per barrel. This
is rosy picture but we believe it
is justified by the actual condition and
tendency of the petroleum trade

Wise's son and Harry Donaghy had
started in the basement of the building
that day. One of the lamps corrected

Drilling was discontinued at the
Grove well last Tuesday evening. The
fourth sand found in it was not very
thick, not more than FIVE or six feet
and contained but little oil, not
enough to make it worth pumping.
The fact that the fourth sand is so very
light speaks well for the territory A
third sand oil field always holds out
best. This well was located forty rods
east of 22k degree line passing
through No. well, and is 10S rods
west of 22a degree line passing
through the Simcox & Myers well.
This makes rather bad showing tor
the 22k degree line business, and as
none of the new wells that have been
started will be down for at least three
months, people who are anxious to
know in which direction the belt or
pool extends will have to possess their

just been considered by the Supreme
Court in the case of Kline against the
borough of Mauch Chunk. Kline
stepped on snow made slippery by trav-
ell while crossing public throughfare,
and falling sustained injuries for which
jury awarded him $500 damages.
The borough took the case to the
Supreme Court, which holds that bor-
oughs cannot prevent general slippery
ness of the streets and crossings by
snow and ice, but that it can prevent
accumulations of the same which rem
der pedestrianism dangerous. As it
did not appear that Kline had fallen
on ridge of snow, the Court held
that the verdict should have been in
favor of the borough.

A Generous Gift.

NORWICH, Conn, April 12-The
noble gift of John F. Slater, of this
town, of 81 900, 900 for the education
of the colored race, is characteristic of
the man. His design in making offer
to the New York Legislature, where
bill Incorporating Rutherford B.
Hayes, Chief Justice Waite, Governor
Colquitt, Rev. Phillip Brooks and
others as trustees of the John F. Slater
fund, was to-day introduced, and was
in his own words, "To uplift the lately
emancipated population of the Southern
States and their posterity by confer
ring on them the blessing of Chris
tian education" He further adds: II
am encouraged to the execution of this
charitable foundation of long cherish
ed purpose by the wisdom and success
that have marked the conduct of the
Peabody educational fund in field of
operation not remote from that con-
templated by this trust. The gener-
al object which 1 desire to hsye exclu-
sively pursued is the uplifting of the
lately emancipated population of the
Southern States and their posterity by
comforting on them the blessings of q
Christian education. The disabilities
formerly suffered by this people and
their singular patience and fidelity in
the great crisis of the Nation, establish
just claim on the sympathy and good
will of humane and patriotic men. l
cannot but feel compassion due, in
view of their prevailing ignorance,
which exists because of no fault of
their own
Mr.. Slater further suggests that the
education of teachers for the colored
race may be the wisest purpose to
which the fund can be put If, after
33 years, three-quarters of the trustees
shall for any reason agree there is no
further use for the fund in the form of
an institute, Slater authorizes them to
apply the capital to the establishment
of foundations subsidiary to those ex-
listing in institutions of higher educa-
tion, so as to make them more freely
accessible to poor colored students.
Under the present institution of the
fund he especially wishes neither prin-
cipal nor income to be expended in
land or buildings for any other purpose
than that of a safe and productive in.

Terrible Accident.

Mr. Martin Eisler, gardener, of this
place met with O terrible accident last
Thursday morning, which may yet
prove fatal. That morning Mr.. Will
liam Rhilander ST., with the aid of his
son Henry, and Mr.. Isaih Balph, un-
dertook to remove On old fashioned log
pump from the well just back of his
blacksmith shop. This well is
twenty-seven feet deep, and was dug
and the pump put in in 1854. The
pump stock is in three pieces and is
very heavy, particularly the lower
piece which is about eighteen feet in
length and which has stood in from l3
to Is feet of water for nearly twenty
eight years To take it out they used
a windlass, which had one wooden
and one iron handle and placed two
iron bars across the hole, to which to
fasten the logs while slipping the rope
down for fresh hold. They had
taken the upper and middle pieces of
the pump stock out and were about
taking out the lower piece, when Mr..
Eisler happened to notice them at
work aad came up from his residence
to lend helping hand. The rope was
fastened to the lower piece and it had
been raised so that the end of it was
some feet above ground-Mr. Eisler
being on one side of the windlass and
Mr. Balph on the other-when the
wooden handle in Mr. Eisler's hand
broke. This Jared the other handle
from Mr.. Balph's hand and the heavy
log commenced descending and the
windlass revolving very rapidly. One
of the handles of the windlass struck
Mr.. Eisler's left arm, breaking it in two
places and throwing him in STOPPING
posture under the revolving windlass
where he received several terrible
blows on the back of the head from
the handles of the windlass, before
falling across the iron bars. Had it
not been for the bars he would have
fallen headlong into the well. He
was carried home and medical aid
J summoned, when it was found that
his skull is fractured in several places,
and that his life was in danger. Up
to yesterday be was still alive, but il
he survives, he will be cripple fol
many months, perhaps for life. Mr.
Eisler's family consists of himself, wife
and six small children. He is in very
bad shape financially, and this calami.
ty has come to him at the only season O
the year, during which he makes any
money. A subscription is being taken
up in aid of this distressed family
The members of the church to which
they belong, the German Lutheran
are subscribing literally, and it is
hoped that everybody who can, will give
them something, as they will likely
need much more than they will get
for the necessaries of life, long before
Mr.. Eisler becomes able to do any
thing toward their support.

Capture of a Thief In Zelie
ROple.

In the Allegheny Mail, of last
Thursday, we find the following:
Anton Molitor, a carpenter, who
resides at No. l19 Juniata street, was
robbed of 1920 last week. Mrs. Ball
is the housekeeper of Molitor. Her
grandson, Andrew Ball, has been
boarding at the house for some time
He occupied the same room with
Molitor. The latter kept his money in
a bureau drawer in his sleeping apart
ment. On last Thursday morning
young Ball informed him that he was
going to the country for short time
and left the house. Molitor having
occasion to use some money, went to
the drawer where he kept his savings
and discovered that it was gone. He
Immediately suspected Bali Of being
the thief, and Chief of Police Long
was notified, The matter was placed
in the hands of Detective Wills, who
traced the young thief to Zelienople.
A warrant was sent to Constable
Weigel, of that place, who arrested
Ball and brought him to this city last
evening. He was given hearing be-
fore Mayor Peterson this morning and
pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny.
He was held in the sum of $500 bail
for trial at court.
