CURRY INSTITUTE RECEPTION,

The Annual Christmas Entertainments a
Modest Little Affair.
A reception, somewhat more modest in il,
pretensions than previous ones given at holl.
day times at Curry University, was enjoyed
last evening by the pupils of the various de.
partments OF the institute. Dancing was
the order Of the evening, and it was quite a
late hour when the Home, Sweet Home"
sent the participants away to dream over the
pleasures of the evening.
The reception was a sort of a farewell pre-
vious to the pupils departure for their re-
spectiye homes for the holiday vacation.

TWO VERY DRY WELLS.
Fhe Old Arbuchle Gusher Increases Her
Output without Agitation.

The Old Arbuckle Gusher Increases Her
Output without Agitation.
The Southside field didn't show up much in
tne way of gushers yesterday, but two very dry
busters came to the fore. One was in Squire
Ferree's orchard. bored by Galley Bros. and
the other was on Alfred McCabe's place few
rods below Montour and Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railway junction, between the rail-
way and the river. Both are reported to be
very dry. The status of the Kendall well has
not yet been definitely ascertained. These are
all Coraopolis wells.
At CHARTERS station the O'Brien No. 2still
held up very nearly to her initial work. The
Arbuckle No. ], the oldest well in the vicinity,
has lately, without any stimulation whatever,
increased her output from 130 to $50 barrels
day and acts altogether as though she had
gotten her third wind. She acts, 50 say some
people, as though indicating. notwithstanding
her great gushing qualities at first, that she
isn't squarely over the center of the reservoir
Arbuckle No. will be in, D. ", before Dec
oration Day. SO
The product of the Anderson farm gas we'll
IS being Diped to the constellation of wells on
CHARTERS creek. This is about all that makes
operations possible, as coal must be carried on
mems backs to reach some of them or it would
be necessary to construct an aerial line

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Eggs are firmer in price since cool weather
set in. In single cases choice nearby stock
brings 13c per dozen. Creamery butter of high
grade is also frmer than it has been for q week
or two past. At Chicago prices of creamery
have advanced l1ac per pound in the past week.
Old cheese of good quality Is very scarce and
firm. New Ohio cheese is already on the mar
ket. and new Limburger will be at the front in
a very few days. Good potatoes are none too
plenty, and holders are firm in their views of
values. Inferior stock abounds and markets
for these low grades drag. Good cabbage is
scarce and firm. Strawberries have proved not
to be good stock the past Few days. Cool
weather appears to have been adverse to the
berry trade.

ment until these matters are settled"
Price changes were few, and invariably for
fractions. Pleasant Valley, switch and Signal

the extreme dullness the market may be de-
scriLed as firm. 1t was weak only from lack of

Wells Being Drilled and Coming In In the
Washington Field.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, PA, May S-The Wilson
well, owned by Murdoch & Co., is drilling in
the Gantz sand and has showing of oil, not
enough, however, to make a producer. The
well is highly important one, and its result in
the other sands are being carefully watched.
The owners think it will make good well IN
the 50-foor but the drill alone can determine
what it is good for.
The production of the ex-gusher on the Fitz-
william has fallen off to so barrels, but as this
is better than was ever expected OF it, the own
ers feel elated over their strike.
The Lacock we'll has been drilled through all
the sands and is dry,
The old No. l, the Fergus farm, which
started off three years ago at 175 barrels an
hour, now makes Is barrels a day. This
well was the foundation of the fortune which
puts S. D. Fergus in the front rank of Wash
ington county oil operators.

WHAT REAL ESTATE MEN ARE DOING

1t is known that several large deals in
East End property have been consummated
within the last three weeks, with which
rumor has associated the name of Mr.. w. C..
Stewart. The amount of money involved In
these transactions. there is authority for
stating, is not less than 5000 900. To obtain
particulars for the public. Mr.. Stewart was
called on yesterday evening, but he refused
to say anything either in direct confirmation
or denial of his connection with the deals,
but he remarked; "When the right time
comes and the inside facts are laid bare, the
CT oakers will have to take back seats, as one
piece of the property in question was sold for
double the money asked for it five months
ago."

800 yards from the Island Beauty" Her COM
pletion and success do not bring any new
knowledge to the oil men, save that
there can be larger wells than the
one on the island. Uncle William" Johnston

Jams Dandy, or the Pride of Mrs. Johnston's
Boy"
