BROOKLYN, December 25.-At a meeting
held by the trustees of the BROOKLYN Taber-
nacle project was finally worked into shape
which has for some months been under dis
cussion. It is for the establishment of a So
ciety to be called the T. Dewitt TaImage
Winter Chautnuqua Association, to be To-
Gated at Crescent City, Putnam county, Fla,
and, like the summer schools of the same
nature, is intended to furnish not only re-
fined amusement, but valuable instruction
by means of lectures, musical entertain
ments, etc., to those who attend its meetings.
These it is proposed to start about the mid
die of February, 1890, to be continued for a
month, and the first attraction will be the
reverend gentleman for whom the associa-
tion is named. and who will by that time
have returned from his trip to the Holy
Land.
A charter has been obtained, a stock com
pany formed and officers elected. among
whom are Messrs. John Wood, Edwin Gil
bert, L. A. Ballard, DR.. II. A. Tucker, E.
81. Branch, Alexander Mclean and james
r. Howe. Mr.. L. A. Ballard. of Crescent
City, has been made general manager of the
real estate department, and parties inter-
ested can procure further information by
applying to him. at 223 Fulton street,
Brooklyn, N. Y. 1t is proposed that the
profits of this enterprise shall assist in the
rebuilding Of the Brooklyn Tabernacls.

BfEc1AL TELEGRAM TO TIE DTsPArcE.i
OTTAWA, December 25.-Adyices from
British Columbia state that, encouraged by
past success, opium smugglers between Vic
toria and the United States posts on Puget
Sound are becoming more defiant over
the rich harvest they are reaping. Last
week three opium smugglers were
captured at Tamoca with 16O pounds
of opium in their possession.
Two of the men are noted smugglers of the
Sound country, and have been hunted by
every inspector Of customs for the past four
years. Their names are Bill Easton, alias
"Black Bill Jack Powers and Northern
Pacific Railroad conductor named Fisher.
The opium was taken to Tamoca from Vic
toria on the OlympIan, but the men were
unable to land it on account of the in
spectors.
On Wednesday morning man was sent
out from the steamer in a small boat, as
decoy, but only one inspector followed, and
the other watched them land the opium.
Then he called on them to surrender, at the
same time covering them with his revolver.
The men were turned over to Deputy United
States Marshal Price, and taken to the
county Jail. but were released on $1,000
bonds, furnished in cash by Easton. The
value of the opium is s., ,210.

5000 pounds came into this city. We
have large stocks on hand, and viii not buy
while the present prices reign.
Is it not q fact, asked the reporter,
''that the largest part OF the crude opium i'm
ported to this city goes into Chinatown for
refning?"
"Nof only the larger portion" was
the answer, "but every pound we import is
sold to the Chinese manufacturers of smok-
ing opium. Ityields from 80 to 75 per cent
of the refined article. There may be some
crude opium imported for medical purposes,
but it is different from the kind we handle.
Most people imagine that eur crude opium
comes from China direct, and III this they
are mistaken. London is the greatest opium
market in the world, and it is from there
that we receive most Of it. London is sup
piled in the main from Persia and China.
OF course we obtain some. from China, but
not great deal. Dealers. in opium are 1t
a loss to understand why the old regulation
requiring the stamping of opium in the
Custom House was discontinued. OF course
we are interested in seeing the smuggling
stopped, for it hurts our trade, and while
the old stamp was not a complete protection
it aided some in making it pay duty"

A Peculiar Rivalry.

trOleum-A Number of New Wells
Peculiar Rivalry.
ESPECIAL TELRGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
BUTLER, December 25.-The staple COM
modities of this county just now are mud
and oil. As the first increases the latter de-
creases. 1t is almost impossible to get sup
plies to the oil fields, and it
is, not rare thing to- see ten
horses tugging at a boiler in the
streets, and six. and sometimes eight, at an
engine. The same trouble is experienced in
getting coal to wells not supplied with gas
Under such circumstances drilling is very
expensive. No new work is undertaken that
can be delayed without loss, but it fire.
quently occurs that rivalry springs up be-
tween owners of adjoining leases as to which
can draw the most oil from under the others
lease. For this purpose wells are located
close to the dividing line by one, and the
other is compelled to do the same to protect
his interests.
In such cases the race for the pay streak
is lively and interesting. A weeks delay
might result in the loss of hundreds of dol
lars. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
over 100 wells are in process of drilling in
the several Butler fields, and new wells are
coming in daily. Within the past two days
Sutton & Walker brought in q 60-barref
well on the Samuel Marshal farm, ON the
Big creek; W. j. Mckee, a 50-barreler on
the @. G. Shannon; Greeniee 8 Forst, one
OF the same capacity, on the James Welsh.
Sutton & Co. s No. 8, on the @. G. Shan
non, is one bit In the sand and flowing
nicely at the rate Of 70 or 100 barrels per
day; their No. will reach the sand to-
morrow or the next day. Christie & Co. 3
No. 1, on the Hugh McClelland, is In the
sand and showing for good well. It is
some distance southwest Of developments.
Ruff Latshaw & Co. shot their No. on the |
Bolton yesterday, and got an average we'll.
Abrams & Co., No. 2, on the Hazlett is in
the sand aud looks very promising. Green
lee & Forst have two, and Christie Bro. s
three wells on the james Welsh farm which
should reach the sand before the end of the
rRnak

The total output in 1889 compares with
The pack Of previous years as follows:

The average character OF the supply has
not been what it should. Although the
packing season has been closed less than
three months, there is pronounced demand
for fine goods. The lack of high grade goods
is probably due to the large quantity Of
country-packed goods put up by inexperi-
enced Gamers. The result of this is that
q difference exists in quotations between
standards and extra hsnd-packed goods of
from % to 40 cents per dozen. Such dis
parity should put premium upon the pack
ing of superior grades and induce Gamers to
make special efforts and incur extra expense
to establish market and reputation for
their brands.
The West and Southwest together can
now, in fair season, be safely counted upon
to furnish one-third of the total supply. It
seems to be the rule that if we have bad
season in one section of the country it will
be good in another, SO that the shortage in
one direction is compensated for by large
supply from other directions.
Tomatoes during the past year have been
sold in this market from 20 cents toS1 15
per dozen. Throughout the season fine
goods have been in demand at ful1 figures.
In fact, we might say that at no time has
the supply of really choice tomatoes been
equal to requirements.

"You see the amount is increasing stead
lily. 1t is imported for medical purposes,
but, in my opinion, nearly, if not all of it,
goes into the manufactures of Chinatown.
1t pays duty of 81 per pound, and now let
us see how much the Government has lost
during the past five years by the manufact-
ure of this into refined opium alter arriving
here.
"Crude opium yields 62K per cent of
smoking opium, so that within the time
mentioned enough was brought into manu-
facture, little over ,627 pounds of the
smoking article. The duty on this, if i'm
ported, would be $1.7S6, ,27O, and substract-
ing the duty Of 81 per pound. or $2S5, ,SO4,
we find that between July 1, 1884, and June
30, 1889, the Government lost over 81 ,50O.-
600 in duties. Now, let us look at the
profits of this manufacturing and see if it is
not more profitable for opium to be manu-
factured here than even to smuggle it.
A GLANCE AT THE PROFITS.
"The smuggler pays 81 to $8 per pound
for Lai Yuen opium in Hong Kong and
ships it here. The man who takes it In
charge to land it must have his divvy, and
the ring, supposing for the sake of argu-
ment that there is ring, must also have a
slice. These men take great risks in land
ing the stuff and must be well paid, and we

NEW YORK, December 25.-The twelfth
annual estimate Of the tomato packing Of
the United States during the season Of 1889
made by the american Grocer, results in .
total Of 2,976. 765 cases Of two dozen cans
each, shortage as compared with the sea-
son Of 1888 Of 366. .372 cases, or reduction
of nearly IL per cent. The deficiency is
attributed to the unusual amount Of rain
which fell on the Atlantic seaboald during
the summer and particularly to the heavy
storms in September. Had it not been Tor
an extension of the industry and good
season in the Western and Southwestern
States and on the Pacific coast the supply
would have been unusually light.
The result. based upon returns from over
400 factories, compares with that for the
previous year as follows:

Young Biggerstaf Invited Death, and it
Came nj His Cali.

The old story OF the bursting grindstone,
SO graphically described by Charles Reade
in ''Put Yourself in His Place, I" is retoId in
the inquest upon the death OF John Bigger
staff, who was killed by the bursting Of an
emery wheel at the Springfield foundry, on
Thirty-second street, on Tuesday. Bigger
staff was in hurry to finish some work he
was doing on the Emery wheel, and in order
to accelerate the speed took off regulating
attachment.
He was warned by fellow workman not
to do so. but persisted, and in less than
minute the wheel gained such velocity
that it burst, one piece striking the young
man on the head and breaking his skull.
Biggerstaff was q years of age, unmarried,
and boarded on Thirty-third street. The
Coroner will hold an inquest this morning.
