leaves no craving of the soul unsatisfied.
The head, supported by a neck Of swan-like

of a goddess, in the act Of catching the

ed and uneasy-so much 50 that the
spine is thrown out of the perpendicular

sculptor has bestowed all Of his talent and
labor upon the front, ysinly imagining that
all would fall down to worship the face,
and that none would dare to gaze upon the
back Of his divinity. From the middle

but, although this is very artistically man
aged, it prevents further comparison with

BLOOD AND Oil.
The PETROLEUM War I'm Pennsylvania
a C0IIfsIOu Imminent.

The Petroleum War I'm Pennsylvania
"A Collision Imminent.
PittsbUrg Special (Feb. Il TO the Chicago Times.
The war between the Columbia Conduit
Company, or Oii-pipe line, and the Pennsyl-
vaniG Railroad, was renewed this morning.
It Will be remembered that some time ago
the courts decided that the oil line could
not cross the railroad track with a line Of
pipe. and the consequence was that both
sides then withdrew their forces. Since
then the Columbia Conduit Company in
troduced a bill in the Legislature, praying
that the provisions Of the free pipe bill be
extended to Allegheny county, which has
hitherto been declared from enjoyment of
the same. The oil men, however, could
not, or would not wait until the bill had
been acted upon, but at half past . this
morning q squad Of men replaced the pipes
in the bed Of Powers run, underneath the
West PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, and now a
stream Of Petroleum is flowing uninter-
ruptedlv through the iron c~OnductiOn and
into huge tanks at MOutyOse, al the rate Of
400 barrels per hour. News Of this coup
d'etU on the part Of he oil company came
very unexpectedly, and caused a decided
sensation. The usual railroad guard was
on hand, but the invaders OutnUmbered
them 50 greatly-there being about fifty Of
them-that no effort at resistance was made.
At s O'Clock this number was increased to
seventy-fve, mostly employees Of the COM
pany.
1t is not known 1t present what action
the Pennsylvania railroad viii take, but it
is fair to presume that they will not allow
the pipe to remain.
Pittsburg Special Feb. u to the Chicago
Tribune.
The Columbia Conduit Company again
laid an ~Oil-cOnnecting pipe this morning
under the cuI9ert of the West Pennsylva-
MA Railroad over Powers Run. At . a
squad Of men came in a sleigh with the
pipe and unlOaded it. Ten men at that
time in charge of the railroad took it away
An hour later the Conduit Company sent
one hundred OF more men and made the
connection, andare nOw pumping $500
barrels 4 day. The oil men have fixed
hose so as to play oil into the culveTt and
ignite it in case Of an attempt made by the
railroad 10 take up the pipe. Tonight men
are encamped on the scene, armed with
clubs and revOlvers. about fifteen strong.
The railroad company has no force there
yet, but the probability is that they will.
Contrary to expectation, no movement was
made in the courts to-day, and the opinion
seems to prevail that there Will be a col
lision, though both parties say they will
avoid il. No excitement has been caused
bv the action, but there is rumOr ahOat
tonight that both sides are enlisting men.
