January Developments.

In the Pennsylvania oil fields,
during the month of January, there
were a few more than, 800 wells
completed, more than a third of
which were dry, and of the total
new production, about 5000 barrels
all the fields other than the south
west produced but little more than
900 barrels. There was an all
around falling off in operations,
such as under the effect of natural
conditions should have promptly
advanced the crude market.
In the Ohio fields there were 100
wells completed, with production
of 5000 barrels, representing de-
crease of about loo barrels. The
average of the production of the
January wells was also the smallest
for any month in the past year.
In the Indiana fields there were
but 81 wells completed during the
month, and FL of them were dry
holes, the total new production be,
ing barely 500 barrels, representing
a drop of a wells and of I, 700 bar,
rels in new production from the
record of the previous month.
AS has been stated, if natural
and not artificial conditions had re-
gained control in the oil business
If natural competitive conditions
were again dominant the crude
market would have made a marked
advance on the showing made by
the months developments. But
these competitive conditions are

A Famous Old Society Disbands.
BpeciaI to the Review.

Wheeling, Feb. rs. The famous
old society of Zoar, ont the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie railway, is about
to disband. The society was formed
by Joseph Bimeler in 1920, and at
one time had 5000 acres of land
under cultivation and over $500, 900
on deposit. Bimeler left Germany
to escape political prosecution. and
he was followed to this country bv
many of his associates, They set,
tied ah Zoar, and made Bimeler
king. He ruled with a firm hand
until his death. One of the most
interesting sights about the old set
tlement is the decaying mansion
that was occupied by the king.
The immense fund which accum
ulated during the war has been re
drced gradually until now it bu,
SHINY represents the wealth it once
did. The society has ninety-twC
members, but there is enough in
the treasury to leave each we'll fixed
for life.
The proceedings incident to a
windup of the affairs of the society
are now progressing. For years
the place has been a favorite sum
mer resort. One attraction was the
excellent beer brewed by the Zoar
ties who were adopts in the art o.

Three Ministers Expelled andCensured
Special to the Review.

Special to the Review.
Bridgeport, O., Feb. I6.-The
Review, a few days since, noted the
fact that scandal in the Western
Theological seminary of Allegheny,
Pa, was to be aired at a special
meeting of the Presbytery, of St.
Clairsville, Ohio. Yesterday, the
Presbytery met, and as a result of
their labors they severely censured
w. J. Hutchinson, D. M. Lyle and
J. M. Patterson, and expelled ], D.
Fulton from the church. In sub
stance the charges against the
young ministers were that they
with three others had entered a
house of i'll repute at Pittsburg
The young men are from this Pres
bytery and when their ofenses be-
came known they were ordered by
the faculty of the seminary to APP
pear here for trial
Revs. Hutchinson, Lyle and Patter-
son expressed sorrow and regret
They said they did not recognize
the enormity of their actions, but
said they went to 'the house more
out of curiosity. They were let off
with reprimand. Fulton was the
only one who appeared in person.
He made defense, but as the fac
ulty of the school had not made
any special recommendation to
clemency in his case his license to
preach was revoked and he was ex
PEELED from the Presbytery Thus
ended the case. 1t was quite SEN
sationa1 one and attracted very
wide attention in church circles all
over the country.

Petroleum Exports in January.

The export demand tor American
oils during January shows a falling
off as compared with December,
but is considerably in excess OF
January a year ago. The total ex,
ports of crude, naphthas, illumin-
ating, lubricating and parafin oils
and residuum for January were
S5,4I2,eI7 gallons, valued at So
eSe,SII. For January, 1897, they
were 81, oo6 ,o66 gallons and valued
at S. ,oS1,6 45 Owing to the decline
in prices an increase of over "a,
100000 gallons is accompanied by
a decrease of 500, o34 in the value
returned. Compared with Deem
Der the January exports show de-
cline of 5,37S,e86 gallons in amount
and $S75,4S3 in value. These fig
ures are from the official reports OF
the chief of the bureau of statistics,
at Washington.
For the seven months ending
January 81, 1898, the exports of
petroleum and its products amount
ed to 6I7,9S4,4oI gallons, and were
valued at S34.455,o45, as compared
with 563, 2o3,SI4 gallons, valued at
$37,223.217 for the seven months
ending January 81, 1897. This is
a gain of 54,78o,5S7 gallons in
amount and loss of S2,76S,I72 in
value.
The total exports of refined and
crude oil, lubricating and paratine
oil, naphtha aud residuum for De.
cember were eo,7oI,eo3 gallons,
valued at S4,S65,2o4. For Novem-
Der they amounted to S2,o76,oI4
gallons and were valued at s. ,e64,-
73o. For December. 1886, the pc
troleum exports were S6,353,I63
gallons, valued at S5,63I,S55. The
lower prices realized in 1897 for re-
fined and its products are response
bic for this falling off in value.
The year 1897 was the greatest
on record in the petroleum export
trade, but refined oil declined very
close to the figures realized in 1892
and 1898. The total exports of
petroleum for 1897 were e94,297757
gallons, valued at $51,o57,547. In
1896 they were 93I,7S5, o22 gallons,
valued at $62, 764, 278. So that
while sending 62,5I2,735 gallons
more abroad in 1897 than the year
before we realize for the same 49,
7o6,7 less. Our exports OF pc
troleum and its products for 1895
amounted to S54,I2o,I3o gallons,
and were valued at S56,224425,
while those of S94 were Se4,S63,155
gallons, valued at $4o,4S3,oSS.
o. the entire amount of oil ex-
ported in 1897, 795,9I9,525 gallons
were illuminating and I2I ,4S8,726
gallons were crude oil. The re-
mainder consisted of naphtha, lu
bricating and paraffin oils and resi-
dunn. The total exports were
equivalent to a crude consumption
OF 100000 barrels, or a daily
average of over 1900 barrels,
The exports for Jrnuary were dis
tributed as follows: Crude, 1885,
6o5 gallons; paphthas, 1,o7o,53S
gallons; illuminating oil, 67,o74.12o
gallons; lubricating and parafin
oils, 5,3o4.6I4 gollons; residuum
s,127,e5o gallons. The total of
minlral oils shipped from New
York was 52,57e,553 gallons; Phil
adelphia, 22, 1874 .7SI gallons; Della
