. was due, he supposed to the solid THE TORPEDO TRADE. A Pocnliar Industry in the Oil Re- glons. Cleveland Leader Wargex, Pa., June 18.—Two men were trout fishing in a stream near Sheffield, in the Warren oil region, a fow days ago. A partridge, frighten- ed from her nest by the approach of the fishermen, flew from a clump of bushes mear the edge of the creck. One of the anglers drew his pistol and fired after the bird. The report of the pistol was followed by an explosion that shook the earth, Both menwere prostrated. A large homlock tree was shattered a8 though it had been struck by lightning. Earth and stones were showered about in all directions. The astonished and frightened men arose to their feet as soon as they could col- | lect their sonses. Ton rods away they saw a hole in the ground several foet in diameter, which had been made by the explosion, One of the fishermen was an oil operator, and he knew that the pit had been made by the nitro- glycerine explosion. The spot had been selected by a “moonlighter,” no doubt, in which to secrete a loaded shell of the kind used in “‘shooting’ oil wells until he could find an oppor- tunity of evading the vigilance of the | Roberts torpedo detectives, The pis- tol ball had struck the shell, and the concussion exploded it. These impro- vised magazines are scattered all through the oil regions. A STRANGE INDUSTRY “‘Moonlighting” is a peculiar indus- try that owes its oxtistence to the patent laws. The late Colonel E. Roberts introduced the use of nitr glycerine torpedoes in increasing the yield of oil wells, When the great tlowing wells of Oil Creek, after drain- ing the protroleum pools of the lower field for three years, had exhausted the supply, as was supposed, Colonel Roberts experimented on an abandon- ed well with a quantity of nitro-gly- cerine, confined in a tin _shell and ex- ploded by concussion. The explosion was followed by a flow of oil, and the old well yiolded thirty barrels a day for several years afterwards. The ni- tro-glycorine had shattered the oi bearing rock and opened a paraftine- clogged veins, While serving in the army, Colonel Roberts noticed a bombshell exploding beneath water invariably spent its force on the bot- tom of the stream, throwing up mud and stones in great quantities. This fluid tamping above the explosive, It was this idea that led him to the ex- periment of nitro-glycerine at the bot- tom of oil wells, beneath hundreds of feet of fluid tamping -oil and water collected in the well he obtained pat- ents on his device. The validity of the patents was questioned, and nitro- glycerine torpedoes were used by others without paying royality to Roberts. He brought nearly fivo thousand suits to protect his rights. One of these, as a test, was carried through all the state courts and to the United States Supreme Court. Roberts won in every court, and nearly a mil- lion of dollars in royalties was re- covered. THE RESULT OF MONOPOLY. Tho+ monopuly in nitre-glycerine torpedoes led to the illicit use of them in wells. Men without fear of death or regard for law went into the busi- ness of “‘shooting” wells for producers who did not care to pay tribute to Roberts. Any one has a right to manufacture nitro-glycerine and to place torpedoes in wells, In the ex- ploding of them lies the liability to prosecution and penalty. The moon- lighter is always ready to contract for tho shooting of a well. He carries his nitro-glycerine in wagons made espe- cially for the purpose. They are buckboards, with cushioned apart- ments under the seat, into which the cans are placed. The roads of the oil regions would scarcely be called roads elsewhere. When not hub deep with mud, they are stretches of deep ruts and gulley d projecting rocks. Drawn by powerful = horses, these wagons, loaded with sixty ora hun- dred quarts of one of the most destructive explosives known, and which a sudden jar is at any moment likely to explode, are driven by their reckless owners over these roads in the darkest nights at the top of their horses’ speed. The men work at night always. They are called the mooulighters, but the absence of the moon does not pre- vent them from undertaking a job. The Roberts Company has a wondor- ful detective system, which is con- stantly employed in forreting out the trespassers in the torpedo patent, Tt frequently happens that a moonlight- er is spotted as he starts out on one of his nocturnal missions. The moon- lighter rarely fails to be aware of the fact when he is followed by one of the Roberts men. Then it is a race between the two. If the moonlighter cannot evade the detective and finish his job, he manages to secret his nitro glycerine in the bushes, old buildings, barns or other buildings of farms, or in any placo where ho is most likely to be able to recover it for use on a more auspicious occasion, Thus it happens that these dangerous storehouses are liable to be come up- on at any time by people passing through the woods or along the streams, or by the farmers whoso promises have been utilized. THE LIFE OF TRADE. The cost of torpedoing a well under the Roberts vatent averages $250. The moonlighter will shoot 1t for less than half o1 that. Thus the saving effected if the work is not discovered i8 a great temptation to a certain class of producers, If detected, however, tho penalty is heavy The Roberts price for the torpedoing must be paid, and whatever damages may be as- sesseod. If the well is an™ old one, and has been shot to increase its yield, the value of the increased yield up tothe time the damages are as- sessed is added the cost of detected illicit torpedoing. [When Colonel Roberts died recent- y, his income was about £1000 a day. Ho had been separated from his wife and family several years, Mrs, Rob- erts had begun divorce proceedings nst him, and they were pending at the time of his death. A nephew of the deceased man, a resident of Brad- ford, Pa., was made his heir. The nephew voluntarily transferred a third of the wealth he inherited to each of the two children of the dead ainven- tor, keeping the other third himself. Appraisersof the estate of Col. Rob- erts have been seven weeks engaged | THE OMAHA DAILY BE TAFE TELE companied with a risk that the ap praisers of no dead man's property probably ever ran before. ' obgliged to visit all the nitro-glycerine {safes in the oil region, examine and | Place a value on their contents, There are thirty of these magazines connected with the estate in the Bradford field alone. These magazines each contain rom 1,000 to 10,000 pounds of the ex plosive. While the appraisers were cautiously creeping about in one of them which contained 2,000 pounds the other d adriver of a Roberts nitro-glyeerine wagon came tearing up to the safe with his team at the usual break-neck rato. He had been out torpedoing wells. He had seven twenty-pound cans left These two under each arm, one in eachhand, and rolling the other alongthe floor of the safe with his foot. The six cans he tumbled on the floor as if they hs heen sticks of wood, The appraisers lost no time in getting out of that magazine A PRIVILEGED CLASS, When a nitro-glycerine wagon is met on the road, every other vohicle driver gives it all the way its driver sces fit to ask. The carrying of this explosive in any but the ‘wagons ar- mon thing to see some dare-devil driver jolting over the rough roads with eans of it knocking about in the bottom of the wagon, Carrying nitro- glycerine through towns is punishable by heavy fines; but as it requires a rather bold officers to chase a man who is carrying with him material that may explode at any moment, it is not an exceedingly rare sight to see driv- ers on their way to wells taking a short and easier cut through towns and villages with their stock of nitro- glycerine. A driver was some timo ago discovered passing through one of the Bradford suburbs. with a load of nitro-glycerine. The residents pro- tested, and an officer halted the man to arrest him. The dri took one of the cans, raised it above his head, and informed the crowd that if any one attempted to interfere with him he would throw the can against a rock by the roadside, and not three feet away. The man was a moonlighter, and from his reputation the crowd be- lieved that he would like nothing bet- than blowing up the town and its in- habitants, even if he disappeared in pieces at the same time, so they al- lowed him to pass on. Practical Industrial Education. Western Manufacturor, Five or six yoars ago we commenced the agitation, in this journal question of a more practical for the youth of this country, either by connecting a practical industrial education with our schools, or by the establishment of technical industrial schools in our large cities in which the thousands of boys and youths now growing up in idleness and ignorance, might receive an education that would enable them to secure an honest live- lihood with their hands. In the same connection we have urged the enact- ment of a compulsory education law. At intervals, from that timo to this, wo have continued to urge this matter. The only evidence that we have ac- complished anything by our earnest discussion of subjects, is the fact that whereas we were at first almost en- tirely alone in this field of discussion, now many editors, professors and writer are doing good service in the cause, by urging the importance of a more practical education. Inacity like Chicago, the great majority of the pupils of our public schools, are the children of working men and women, who, as they grow up, must depend upon their own exer- tions fora livelihood. The schools give them a fair education in reading, spelling, writing and_arithmetic, but what do they accomplish toward the education of the hand, which in nine cases out of ten, must'be depended on for winning a livelihood, and for at least laying the foundation for inde pendent and honorable citizenship? The education of our present public school system, if followed out to an honorable graduation from the high school, fits the pupils for a clerkship in a store, or the position of an of- fice boy, or some place where they are expected to take their first lessons in the practical business of earning a livelihood, Now, it is well known that the demand for such situations for graduates of our high shools, and for those who have been compelled by the force of circuwstances, to drop out of school life before reaching that goal, is far in oxcess of the supply. Among the ever-increasing mechan- ical and manufacturing industries of the city and vicinity, there would every year be positions for thousands of scholars if they camo out of school with a praetical knowledge of mechanics, and the use of tools, But so far are they from having acquired any such knoaledge, they come out of the high schools with a strong predilection against mechani- cal pursuits. And it is not an un- common thing for high school graduates to wait for years for posi- tions that do not pay theirboard when obtained, We say this in no condem- natory senso of either the schools or the scholars, but suply to show that in this practical age, in which trades unionisin and socialism have done away with everything liko an ap- prenticeship systom, for the sole pur- pose of preventing an increase of lled labor, with the hope of thereby increasing its value, our schools do not go far enough, or else not in the night direction, 1t is well known that our workshope and factories have to depend almost wholly upon foreign alll]ud labor, Probably, on an average, there is not more than one native-born American citizen in every hundred skill- ed workmen the country. This is not the fault of the young men of Amer- ica parentage. They are ready to en- gage in skilled manual labor as those of any other nationality. The difficul- ty is 1t is almost impossible for them to secure the opportunity to learn a trade; or to become skilled workmen in any mechanical trade or calling. As before stated, the great majority of skilled women are foreigners, and members of trade unions; and these unions claim the right in workshops and factories, where a few appren- tices are admitted, of dictating who those apprentices shall be, and it is hardly necessary to say such authority in every instance, is exercised to ex- clude American young men.

Nor do thy eral thing, learn a trade merely for the sake of becoming workmen, and remaining such all their lives. The great majority of American work- men consider their skill as means to an end, which is to establish a busi ness of their own, which in due time, shall equal if not excoed that of their employers, and thus become the oopo- nents instead of the allies of trades unionism It isfor the avove reasoas that such achange should be made in our public school system, as would provide for at least a rudimentary education in me chanics and the use of tools, which might be made available by the pupil in securing employmanton comploting | his course. 1f it is found impossible to connect & workshop with the public | school room, then we should Imm‘ technical and industrial schools estab- lished, which should be mainly de voted to furnish their pupils with a practical mechanical education, sothat they might soon become master work- | men, on entering the workshop and factory.

London Correspondence New York Timne. Mr. Justin McCarthy, mnovel- ists and journalists, talks very fre- quently, but with little effect. Tt is an amusing fact that Mr. McCarthy, after having delivered a very strong, not to say violent speech, gracefully retires to write a heavy articlo upon it for the] Daily News in which he nilely criticises his own utterance. Heisa man of high attainments and accom- plishments, but fate evidently never designed him for a politician. Much the same may be said for Mr. F. H. O’Donnell, who 1s also a literary man, or, at any rate, a_leader writer on the Mormng Post e, too, is another solitary star” and s apart.” Mr. O’Donnell’s position is a somewhat peculiar one, A fanatical Ultramon- tane, he professes to present tho Cath- olic party proper, and may be regard- ed as the last of that faction in Par- liament formerly known as ‘‘the Pope’s brass band.” But the Papists repudiate him and hold that he has done their cause more harm than good. A friend of mine, not long ago, while talking with Cardinal Man- ning about the Irishmen in Parlia- ment, asked him what he thought of Mr. O'Donnell. *“An excellent young man,” replied his Eminence in his sweetest manner; “a good Catholic, ktoo, but it is a pity that he meddles with politics.” ~ Mr. Biggar still re- mains faithful to Mr. Parnell, but he is rapidly gaining a position for him- self, which is not unlikely to encour- him before long to *‘act up _for himself,” as others have done. That position 15 not a very digni- fied one. Mr. Biggar is the hu- morist of his party, and the Irish drollery of the little hump- backed man is such that in spite of his zen impudence it is difficult to be seriously angry with him. Then he has the great merit of being able to take a joke against himself without loss of temper. Sir Wilfrid Lawson told an exquisite story about him the other day, which the little man seemed to enjoy intensely. Mr. Biggar is ono of the mostactive movers of ‘“‘counts out,” an office which was onae erformed in a somewhat shame- faced manner, but is now executed almost nightly without the slightest concealment — or affectation. Sir Wilfrid Lawson stated that Mr. Biggar once went to church on a very hot day, and, overcome by the close- ness of the weather, fell asleep in his seat. Suddenly awakened by the pealing of the organ or some other noise, Mr. Biggar looked about him, and seeing that the numbers of the congregation had been reduced to some dozen or so, exclaimed: “Mr. Speaker, sorr, I move that the house be counted.” This is not’a better story, however, than another I heard the other day about the same distin- guished member. Mr. Biggar was once one of a number of persons dis- cussing the religious difficuliies con- nected with tho education question, ‘‘Well,” said Mr. Biggar, “I find no difficulty about itat ufi Tam a Prot- estant, and, begad, I send all my children to a Catholic school. Hore- upon afriend at his elbow whispered to him: ““Hold your tongue you fool, Everybody here knows you™ are not married.” A'Significant Faot.
