WAHRKK , 1'ft. , . Ju.no 18Two men
wore trout fishinc in n stream near
SholHold , in tlio Wntron oil region , n
few days ago. A partridge , fnghton-
od from her neat by the a ] > preach of
tlio fishermen , How from a clump of
bushes near the edge of the creek.
Ono 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 monwero
prostrated , A largo hemlock tree was
shattered as though it liadboon struck
by lightning. E , rlh and stones Wore
showered about in all directions. The
astonished and frightened men arose
to their feet as soon as they could col
lect their senses. Ton rods aw.xy they
saw a hole in the ground several feet
in diameter , which had been made by
the explosion. One of the fishermen
was an oil operator , and ho know that
the pit had been made by the nitro
glycerine explosion. The spot had
been selected by a "moonlighter , " no
doubt , in which to sccruto n loaded
shell of the kind used in "sh6oling"
oil wells until ho eould tind an oppor
tunity of evading the vigilance of the
-Roberts torpedo detectives. The pistol
tel ball had struck thu'shell ' , and the
concussion exploded it. Those impro
vised magazines arb scattered all
through the oil regions.
A HTKAM1K INDUSTRY.
"Moonlighting" is a peculiar indus
try that owes its oxtistcneo to the
patent laws , Tlio late Colonel E. A.
.Roberts introduced the use of nitro
glycerine torpodoOs in increasing the
yield of oil wells. When the great
lowing wells of Oil Crook , after drain
ing the protroloum pools of the lower
field for three years , had exhausted
the supply , as was supposed , Colonel
Jloborts experimented on an abandon
ed well with a quantity of nitro-gly-
corine. confmod in a tin shell and ex
ploded by concussion. The explosion
was followed by a flow of oil , and the
old well yielded thirty barrels a day
for several years afterwards. The nitroglycerine -
tro-glycorino had shattered the oil-
bearing rock and opened a parafline-
clogged veins , While serving in the
army , Colonel Huberts noticed a
bombshell exploding beneath water
invariably spent its force on the bottom
tom of the stream , throwing up mud
and stones in great quantities. This
was duo , lie supposed to the solid
fluid tamping above the explosive. It
was this idea that led him to the ex
periment of nitro-glycerino at the bottom
tom of oil wells , beneath hundreds of
feet of iluid tamping -oil and water
collected in the well ho obtained pat
ents on his device. The validity of
the patents was questioned , and nitro
glycerine torpedoes wore used by
others without paying royality to
Iloberts. He brought nearly live
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 , lloborts
vyon in every court , and nearly a mil
lion of dollars in royalties was re
covered.
THE UBSUI.T OP MONOPOLY.
The * monopoly in nltro-glycerlno "
torpedoes led to the illicit use of them
in wells. Men without fear of death
or regard for law wont into the busl
ness of "shooting" wells for producers
who did not care to p.iy tribute to
Iloberts. Any one has a right t&
manufacture nitro-glycerino and to
place torpedoes in wells. In the o
ploding of them lies the liability to
prosecution and penalty. The moon
lighter is always ready to contract for
the shooting of a well. Ho carries his
nitro-glycorino in wagons made espe
cially for the purpose. They are
buckboards , with cushioned apart
nionts under the scat , into which the
cans are placed. The roads of the oil
regions would scarcely bo called roads
elsewhere. When not hub deep with
mud , they are stretches of deep ruts
and gullcys and projecting rockb.
Dr.iwn by powerful horses , these
wagons , loaded with sixty or a 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 moonlighters , but
the absence of the moon does not pre
vent them from undertaking a 'job.
The lloborts Company has n wonder
ful detective system , which is con
stantly employed in ferreting out the
trespassers in the torpedo patent. It
frequently happens that a moonlight
er is'spotted as ho starts out on one
of his nocturnal missions. Tlio moon
lighter rarely fails to bo 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 of
his job , ho manages to secret hie
nitro glycerine in the bushes , old
buildings , barns or other buildings ol a
farms , or in any place whore ho is
most likely to bo 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 in
promises have boon utili/.od.
TH15 LIKK OK TltADK.
The cost of torpedoing a well under
the lloborts patent averages 8250.
The moonlighter will shoot it for leas
than half 01 that. Thus the saving
effected if the work is not diecoverct
is a great temptation to a certain class
of producers. If detected , however ,
the penalty is heavy The Koborts
price for the torpedoing must be paid ,
and whatever damages may bo ( is
sesseod. If the well is an old one ,
and has been shot to increase iU
yield , the value of the increased yieli ed
up to the time the damages are assessed - the
sossod is added the cost of detected ica
illicit torpedoing ,
HJWlion Colonel Iloberts died recent of
ly , his income was about § 1000 a day , ty
llo had been separated from his wife to
and family several years. Mrs. Ilob
erts had begun divorce proceeding ! in
against him , and they were pending a ( As
the time of his death. A nephew of of
the deceased man , a resident of Brad
ford , Pa. , was made his heir. The
nephew voluntarily transferred a thirt and
of the wealth ho inherited to each oi
the two children of the dead ainven-
tor , keeping the other third himself.
Appraisorsof the estate of Col. llob in
orts have been seven weeks ongaget
iu fixing its value. Their duties are son
accompanied with a risk that the ap
praisers of no dead man's property
[ irobably over ran before. They are
d to visit all the nitro-glyccrino
safes in the oil region , examine and
[ > lace a value , on their contents. There
are thirty of thcsomagazincsconnocted
with the estate in the Bradford field
alone. These magazines each contain
from 1,000 to 10,000 pounds of the ex
plosive. While the appraisers wore
: autiously creeping about in ono of
: hem which contained 2.000 pounds
the other day , a driver of n lloborts
litro-glyccrino wa on came tearing up
: o the safe with his team at the usual
3ro.ik-neek rate. Ho had been out
: orpcdoing wells. Ho had seven
.wonty-pCMind cans left These ho
wrought inio the magazine , carrying
.wo under each arm , one in cachhand ,
and rolling the other along the floor of
he safe with his foot. The six cans
10 tumbled on the floor as if they had
icon sticks of wood. The appraisers
est no time in getting out of that
naga/.inc.
A i'Uiyiunii : : > 'i.A. < u.
When n nitro-glycerino wagon is
not on the road , every other vehicle
Irivcr gives it all the way its driver
sees lit lo ask The carrying of this
explosive in any but the wagons ar
ranged for its transportation is forbid-
len by law , but it is not an uncoin-
non thing to see some dare-devil
driver jolting over the rough roads
with cans of it knocking about in the
wttoin of the wagon. Carrying nitro-
'lycerino through towns is punishable
jy heavy fines ; but as it requires a
rather bold ollicora to chase a man
who is carrying with him material that
nay explode at any moment , it is not
in exceedingly rare sight to see driv
ers on their way to wells taking a
short and easier cut through towns
nd villages with their stock of nitro-
jlycerino. A driver was some time
igo discovered passing through ono of
iho Bradford suburbs , with a load of
nitro-glycerine. The residents pro
tested , and an officer halted the man
to arrest him. The driver took ono
of the cans , raised it above his head ,
and informed the crowd tjiat if any
3110 attempted to interfere with him
lie would throw the can against a rock
by the roadside , and not three feet
way. The man was a moonlighter ,
and from his reputation the crowd be
lieved that ho would like nothing bct-
than blowing up the town and its in
habitants , even if he disappeared in
[ liuccH at the same time , so they al
lowed him to pass on.
Practical Intlnstrinl Education-
Western Manufacturer.
Five or six years ago wo commenced
the agitation , in this journal , of the
question of a more practical education
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 largo cities in which the
thousands of boys and youths now
growing up in idleness and ignorance ,
might receive an education that would
cnablo them to secure an honest live
lihood with their hands. In the same
connection wo have urged the enact
ment of a compulsory education law.
At intervals , from that time to this ,
"wo have continued to urge tills matter.
The only evidence that wo have ac
complished anj'thing by our carnesl
discussion of subjects , is the fact that
whereas wo wore at first almost en
tirely alone in this field of discussion ,
now many editors , professors ami
writer are doing good service in
the cause , by urging the importance
of a more practical education.
In a city like Chicago , the great
majority of the pupils of our public
schools , are the children of working
men and women , who , as they ccrow
up , must depend upon their own exer
tions for a 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 bo depended on
for winning a livelihood , and for ai
least laying the foundation for inde
pendent and honorable citi/.enship'
The education of our present public
school system , if followed out to ai
honorable graduation from the higji
school , fits the pupils for a clerkship
in a store , or thu position of an of
fice boy , or some place where they
are expected to taku their first lessons
in the practical business of earning
livelihood. Now , it is well known
that the doma'id for such situation ;
tor graduates of our high shools , am
for these who have boon compelled by
the force of circumstances , to drop oul
of'school lifo before reaching thai
goal , is far in excess of the supply ,
Among the over-increasing mechan
ical and manufacturing industries oi
the city and vicinity , there
would every year bo positions
for thousands of scholars if they
came out of school with a prartica
knowledge of mechanics , and the use
tools. But HO far are they fron :
having acquired any such kno/vluilgo ,
they coma out of the high schools witl :
strong predilection against mechani
cal pursuits. And it is not an un <
common thing for high echoo !
graduates to wait for years for posi it
tions that do not pay theirboard whoi
obtained. Wo say this in no condem
natory sense of either the schools or
the scholars , but simply to show that
this practical ago , in which trades
unionism and socialism have done
away with everything like an apprenticeship
prenticoship system , for the solo pur
pose of preventing an increase ol
skilled labor , with the hope of thereby
increasing its value , our schools do
not go far enough , or else not in thu
right direction.
It is well known that our workshops
and factories have to depend ahnos
wholly upon foreign skilled labor ,
Probably , on an average , there is not ly
more than ono native-born American ,
citizen in every hundred skill
CJ
Workmen the country. This ia no
fault of the young men of Amor '
parentage. They are ready to en
gage in skilled manual labor as these
any other nationality. The dillicul
is it is almost impossible for then
sccuro the opportunity to learn .
trade ; or to bccomo skilled workmei
any moclnnical trade or calling.
before stated , the great majority of
skilled women are foreigners , am
members cf trade unions ; and these
unions claim the right in workshop ?
factories , where a few appren
tices are admitted , of dictating who for
these apprentices shall bo , and it is
hardly necessary to say such authority
every instance , is exorcised to exclude
cludo American young men. Ono rca
for this is that American skillet
workmen do not so readily yield to the
lictntosof trade unions in cases where
trikes nro ortlorcd. Nor do they , ns
general thing , le.irn a trade merely
or tlio sake of becoming workmen ,
.Jill remaining such nil their lives.
The great majority of American work-
iien consider their skill na moans to
an end , which is to establish a busi-
ies of their own , which in duo time ,
jhall equal if not exceed that of their
employers , and thus become the onno-
lents instead of the allies of trades
inionism.
It is for thonbovo roaso.is that such
change should bo made in our public
chool system , as would provide for at
east n rudimentary uducation in me
chanics and the use of tools , which
.light bo mndo available by the pupil
n securing emploj'mtuiton completing
lis course. If it is found impossible
o connect a workshop with the public
school room , then NO should huvo
ochnical and industrial schools estab-
ished , which should bo mainly do
; olcd to furnish their pupils with a
iractical mechanical education , sothnt
hey might soon become master work-
lien , on entering the workshop and
\ctory. Thousands of young men
low receiving the street education in
dleness and vice , nnd thus being fitted
or positions in our reformatory and
loual institutions , might bo made into
ikilled workmen , nnd useful nnd lum-
ornblo citizens , in this city idono , in
n the course of a. few years. Since
so many able nnd intelligent writers
mvo taken up the advocacy of this
system of practical education , wo may
lope to BCO something accomplished at
10 distant day in the interest of prac-
tcal and industrial education.

Mr. Justin McCarthy , novel-
sts nnd journalists , talks very frequently -
quontly , but with little effect. It is
in nmusing fact that Mr. McCarthy ,
after having delivered a very strong ,
lot to say violent speech gracefully
retires to write a heavy nrticTo upon it
'or the ) Daily News in which ho nilcly
criticises his own utterance. Ho is a
man of high attainments and accom-
plishmontsj but fate evidently never
lesigncd him for a politician. Much
: ho same may bo said for Mr. F. II.
O'Donnoll , who is also a literary man ,
or , at any rate , a leader writer on the
Morning Post. He , too , is another

liamcnt formerly known as "tho
Pope's brasa band. " But the Papists
repudiate him and hold that ho has
done their cause more harm than
good. A friend of mine , not long
ago , while talking with Cardinal Man
ning nbout the Irishmen in Parlia
. ment , , iiskod him what ho thought of
Mr. O'Donnell. "An excellent young
man , " replied his Eminence in his
sweetest manner ; "a good Catholic ,
too , but it is a pity that ho meddles
with politics. " Mr. Biggar still re
mains faithful to Mr. Parnell , but ho
is rapidly gaining n position for him
self , which is not unlikely to cncour-
ngo him before long to "act up for
htmnalf , " as others Imvo dono. That
position is not a very digni'
lied ono. Mr. Biggnr is the hu <
morist of his party , and the
Irish drollery of the little hump
backed man is such that in spite of his
br.ixen impudence it is difficult to bo
seriously angry with him. Then ho
has the great merit of being able t (
take a joke against himself withou
loss of temper. Sir Wilfrid Lawsoi
told an exquisite story about him tlio
other day , which the little man soomec
to enjoy intensely. Mr. Bigcar is
ono of the most active movers o
"counts out , " tin oilico which was
ouao orformcd in a somewhat shame
faced manner , but is now executes
almost nightly without the slightesi
concealment or affectation. Sir
Wilfrid Lawson stated that Mr
Biggar once wont to church on a verj
hot day , and' , overcome by the close
IIOSH of the weather , fell asleep in hii
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 inovo that the hous >
bo counted. " This is not'a bette :
story , however , than another I hoan
the other day about the same distin
guished member. Mr. Biggar wa.
once ono of a number of persons dia
cussing the religious difliculiU'H con

"Well , " said Mr. Biggar , "I find m
