PETROLEUM AFFAIRS.
THE OIL COMBINATION BROKEN.


Or, CITY. Jan. 13.-The Standard Oil Com
pany Cleveland refners. refused to-day TO take more
crude at combination prices and the combination is thus
virtually broken An alleged violation Of agreement by
the producers in not restraining production was the
cause OF refusal Large strikes continually reported
from the southern district. Six thousand barrels OF
crude OIL at Petrolia City burned last night. The
fire was probably of ncendary ORIGIN the object being
to destroy the oil.
PITTSBURGH Jan. 13.-The combination formed In New
York few weeks ago, between the oil reners and pro-
ducers has collapsed leaving the latter party just where
they were at the beginning. The Reners' Association
remains as before Bad faith Is charged against some OF
the promnent producers. The production OF crude oil
greater than It has for several years and all ef
forts 20 control the market by combinations and rings
are utterly futile.
DISASTROUS FIRES IN THE OIL REGION.
TTUsyILLE, Penn, Jan. ia PetrOla City
dispatch TO The Courier says fire broke out yesterday
on the Wilson farm and spread to the adjoining wells
Four thousand barrels OF olwere soon on fire, and the
burning oil spread the ground and enveloped four
dwellings including the Central Hotel. Several der
ricks and enginehouses also burned. The town
was in great danger for some time, and before the
flames we're subdued property valued at over $4,000 was
consumed
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. I3.-Seven small dwellings and
stores in Centralia Penn, burned yesterday The
loss is $4,000. The property was insured.

PRESIDENT WATsONs POLICY.

p. II. Watson, President of the Erie Rail-
way, was called upon last evening at his residence,
No. 1873 Ffthave., by reporter of THE TRIBUNE and
questioned relative to the OF bonds for the purpose
Of laying third rail narrowing the gauge OF the road
He stated that nothing definite had yet been decided
upon. The Board Of Directors will hold meeting to-
day. this and other propositions will be made. 1t
proposed first authorize the issue of sl0OoOO0 in
convertible bonds the proceeds arising from the sale OF
which are 10 be applied to improving the road Con-
yerb bonds TO be issued because they are deemed
TO be more valuable than common or preferred stock
the holder having the option OF converting them into
stock at any time he chooses.
II was more than probable that the gauge OF the road
would be changed from broad to narrow one from
Bnffao 10 Attica. There is already third rail from
Emira Waverey one side OF the double line ex-
tending from Elmra to Corning This would enable the
Erie 10 connect with the Lehgh Valley Railroad, thus
giving through narrow gauge road from Buffalo to
Philadelphia and the South There might be third rail-
laid in time from Enira TO New-fork. All thls' now
ever, would be a work of time.
The rapidly with which the work was proceeded with
would depend in good part the facility with which
funds were furnished TO pay for the contemplated I'M
prOvements. The gauge of the ONO ana MISSISSIPPI
Railroad was changed from broad TO narrow one IN
"A hours but much Of the work preliminary. The
gauge of the sdings, switches, turntables etc. were
changed in advance OF the main line or subsequently, IL
would 10 almost lIupOssDlo 10 Pcri0i suon WIN 40
this on the Erie Railway in so short time, even II II
were advisable. Sufficient rolling stock could not DC
provided to equip the road in "a short time.
In reply to question how long would be before the
rolling stock the Erie Railway would wear OUT, he
said that 1t could not be allowed TO wear out Ii must
be kept rstrae order otherwise the lives OF those
passing over it, and the property contracted to be car
RED would be placed in constant peril and accidents
would be Of almost constant occurrence This was
condition OF affairs that could not BIO thought OF Tor
moment. As he had previously stated however, nothing
would be done hurredly. In any case work would not
he begun before the Spring opened Nothing Of any
moment could be done until the frost was out OF the
ground and the weather became settled. What would
be done in the MAN, and where work would be begun,
would settled at the meeting of tue Board of Direct
today.

JAY GOULD'S VIEWS.

jaw Gould. for several years President, and
one Of The Board Of Directors OF the Erie Hallway was
deemed likely person TO mpart information relative 10
the road and the proposed changes and he was there
fore called upon last evening at his residence NO. 6S
Fifth-ave by reporter OF TIE TRIBUNE He expressed
his willingness to give all the Information he hau reia-
tive to the matter or that his past experience as an OIL
Ger of the road would enable him TO give He had I'M
derstood that meeting OF the Board OF Directors had
been called for this morning and that the proposition
for an extensive loan the matter to be considered
lie was aware that the plan OF changing the gauge OF the
road had been for some time under dscusson W 'nose
at the head Of the Erie corporation
Procuring large map the Erie Railway and ts con-
nectons Mr. Gould traced out the various divisions ana
subdivisions of the road and branch lines ana Indicated
clearly where he thought the first changes would De
made and his reasons for thus believing He said that
he presumed the pau would be to construct narrow
gauge fvom Buffalo To Attica, distance OF 80 miles,
From Attica to Corning there two lines OF road OPP
Grated by the Erie corporation one via Avon anu
Rochester and the other via Hornellsvie' Inc pan
would probably be TO construct the narrowgauRe
via Avon andSCorning. There is already third rail-
from Corning TO Elmira and thence TO Waverey, where
connection "a made with the Lenigh Valley Railroad
Thus there would be a complete communication py mar
row gauge from Buffalo to Philadelphia and all points
south The next step would probably NC 10 lay thlrd
rail from Wayerley Great Bend, where connection
is made with the Albany and susquehahna RAILROAD 10
Albany This road already has third rail laid IL was
originally built as hroadgauee road, but
10 was deemed advisable to put down
q third rail- and enable 1t to accommodate hairow-eause
rolling stock The Erie road also connects at Great
Bend with the Jefferson Railroad, running to CARBON
dale, passing through the immense coalheds This
also has both narrow and broad gages, by means oil
third rail- An coal traffic passes over H. ana
thence over the Erie and Albany and susquehsnpa Kali
roads These important connections VIII open 70 the
Erie Railway Pennsylvania on the SOUTH and Northern
NewYork and wEngland on the NORTH enabling ~ 10
compete on equal terms with the New'York Central hl
road for through traffic to points north and east a'so
likely that third rail will be laid to Newburgh' where
a conneeton win be made with the Boston, Hartford
and Erie Railroad, narrow gauge railroad connecting
with network OF railroads leading into Boston from
all parts Of New England. Finally, third rail VIII pe
laid from Wsyerey " New York. The Western DIVISION

from uornellsyille TO Dunkrk, will also be mace mar
row gauge road conform to that OF the Atian'c anu
Great Western Railway, whose gauge Is also 10 Dc TO
duoed at the earliest opportunity All these chsnges
will still leave the Erie a broad-gauge road rom No",
York 20 Buffalo In fact, 1t would be both narrow anu
a broad eauae road IL would bo q broad-gauge roao
via HorneIlsyille and narrow-gauge via Avon ana
Rochester. BY this means the Lake Shore and other
narrow-gauge roads could be connected witn' anu
freight could be sent through to the west IN harro"
gauge without transhpment as is now the case
The changes being made gradually, the necessary
OF narrowgauge rolling stock could Do Pro
cured and placed upon the road as the changes
made, and without materially interfering Win Tue
carrying capacity OF the road. In addition, the Erie
Road by this arrangement would have ample opportu-
nifty tse not alone its widegauge rolingStock,
but that Of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway.
The branch road from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and the
Suspension Bridge by which tho Erie Railway connects
with the Great Western Railway OF Canada now has
third rail- and therefore accommodate rollingstoek
Of both guages.
The outlay necessary to complete all these changes
Will be In the neghborhOod Of $2OoOOo the means for
which can be obtained by the issue OF convertible bonds
The rongsock OF the Erie Railway at the present time
consists OF 500 locomotives, aud there should Dc
100 In addition to perform the labor required with SOo
passenger cars including sleepers, and about l2Ooo
freight cars All this rolingstock is necessary
for the carrying trade Of the road There should be sew
era millions Of dollars spent In improving the grades
from Port Jervis TO York. the traffic and travel on
that part OF the line having increased very much within
few years.
At the present time the Erie Railway on Its Delaware
Division. between Lackawaxen and Port Jerys. moves
a greater tunnage a single track than the New-fork
Central between Buffalo and Albany on Its double tracks
Abiding the statement that that the New-York Cent
raj proposed to construct two additional tracks, MI.
Gould said that there necessity for so doing,
there is absolutely limit to the capacity OF double
tracks II properly equipped with side tracks The Penn
sylvania Central double tracked road, moves nearly
double the unnage of the New York Central In other.

tuns and the New-York Central 100000 tuns.

A NEW ERIE LOAN.
THE NARROW GAUGE TO BE INTRODUCED

THE NARROW GAUGE TO BE INTRODUCED.
A CONTEMPLATED ISSUE OF BONDS TO COM
PLETE IMPORTANT IMPROvEMENTS-PREsI
DENT wATsONs POLICY TO BE CONSIDERED
BY THE DIRECTORS T0-DAY-JAY GoULDs
VIEWS.
The Board Of Directors Of the Erie Railway Com
pany will meet at the Grand Opera House, this
morning, to consider the expediency of issuing sew
eral million dollars Of convertible bonds, to be
placed in the English market. The circumstances
OF the new loan are briefly as follows
Ever since President Watson has been at the head
of the administration of Erie affairs he has expressed
the opinion that it would be of vast advantage to
the Railway if a large sum of money could be ex-
pended on it for the purpose of permanently inn
proving it. He believed that it especially needed
steel rails and double tracks on the eastern section
while the gauge should be narrowed gradually so as
to conform with the uniform railroad gauge of the
country, and new and improved rolling stock should
be purchased. The officers of the Company have
been in correspondence with capitalists in Europe
on the subject of new Erie loan and it was recently
ascertained from the London Banking Association,
which is about to be made the transfer agents OF
the Erie Railway Company in England, that the
best mode of obtaining the required amount would
be to issue Z per cent gold Understanding bond
convertible into stock at the option Of the holder 1t
was believed that such bond could be placed on the
English market at about par IN currency, and would net
the Eric Railway Company that figure, less the usual
bankers commissioners, and incidental expenses.
The subject OF the loan will probably be decided
one way the other to-day. 1t is believed that the
proposition will be accepted the Erie directors regard
ing the views Of the capitalists attering proof Of
the confidence Of the people abroad in the present adj
minstraton and future welfare Of the Erie Railway. 1t
is expected that about soOOO0OO worth Of these bonds
Will be authorized If the loan is decided.
What President Watson will first undertake In the
shape OF improvements he has not yet decided upon but
he thinks that he will begin at Buffalo, and work east
ward with the gauge, carrying it first TO Waiver
ley thus giving the Erie gauge connections with
Philadep hia and the South. Gradually the narrow
gauge system be extended by means OF third rail,
enabling both narrow and broad gauge rolling stock 10
pass the same road. BY means of the projected
change in the gauge, the Erie Railway will also be
brought into closer relations with the lines of railroads
in northern New-YOrk via the Albany and Susquehanna
Railroad aud in NewEngand via the Boston, Hartford
and Erie Railroad
a TRIBUNE reporter called at the residence OF Wm
Butler Duncan last evening" ascertain further parcu
lars regarding the proposed issue OF new Erie bonds
Mr.. Duncan assured the reporter that he ignorant
OF any the part Of the Directors to issue
s0OO000O OF new bonds, and said that in his opinion
the Directors would rather prefer TO call in the old
bonds.
