A Mining Disaster.

The perils to which miners are subjected
from causes over which they sometimes
have no control is graphically described in
our despatch to-day from Scranton, Pa. A
thunder storm breaking suddenly over the
quiet neighborhood set loose the destruc-
tive forces of an adjacent stream, and
before the laborers in the collieries
underground could be informed of
their danger they found themselves
submerged and swimming for their lives in
rushing torrent More than fifty men
were at work, but the only fatal casualty
reported Is the drowning Of lad. The

Late advices about the frightful accident
on the Thames ON Tuesday dissipate the hope
that the loss of life may have been over
stated during the excitement accustomed by
the disaster. Instead of four or five hun
dred lives indicating the total loss 1t ap-
pears that more than six hundred of the
ill-fated excursionists were drowned. The
HERALD OF yesterday suggested that dark
ness probably prevented effective work by
those who went to the rescue, and that
strong tide perhaps overpowered some who
were struggling for life. Late dispatches
prove that the conditions were as we sup
posed. The Princess Alice appears to have
been trying to escape the strong current. or

jutting into the river, and in SO doing
her lights were partially hidden from the
pilot of the colliding steamer. The officers
OF both vessels seem to have lost their heads
in the presence of danger; for it is difficult
to imagine how, when the lights of either
boat became visible to the other, the pilot
could have neglected ordinary precautions.
particularly that of backing The collidina

to show degree of carelessness, if not
heartlessness. which some people will very
naturally imagine to have been the first
cause of the disaster.

Tn. Coming season OF Italiaa Opera

The Coming Season OF Italian Opera.
advent here of trio of such artists as
Gerster, Hauck and Tremelli, Mr.. Maple
sons announcement of the production Of
new works and the revival of several stand
ard operas--novelties to the present genera
ton of opera habituSs-is rich in variety
and interest These operas, of course, are
to be given, not as produced in the past,
but, new and old, with rarely powerful casts,
fine choruses, full orchestral and complete
scenic accomplishments. Among the operas
is named "Le Prophetic, by Meyerbeer, not
performed here certainly within the last
decade. We doubt, indeed, if its music has
ever been given here, except fragmentarily
upon the concert stage. Yet this opera is,
in many respects, the composers be st work.
True, it makes enormous demands upon
artists, chorus and manager. but as given
upon the London stage these requirements
are fully met, and when produced here by
Mr.. Mapleson's troupe it will be readily
seen that its exactions have exceeded the
resources of other managers in time past.
The leading female role, indeed, is one
which few contralto artists could ade-
auately realize. Tremelii, with her excep-
tional range of voice, probably finds Fides a
comparatively easy task, but we do not
recall any other artist who could readily
compass the role. The "Dinorah' Of the
same author will, too, be reproduced for
the first time in ten years. Mile. Cordier,
worn as her voice was, sang the SHADOW
Song into favor then. Mile. Gerster, with
the support she will have, may be expected
to unfold new beauties in the work.
Balfe's I'll Talismano," comparative
failure as first incompletely produced here,
is to be given with its London cast There,
with Gerster as Edith, it has We'd with
Carmen" in popularity, receiving greater
number of performances than during its
first season. We have, indeed, never heard
the opera here at all in Italian. Mr. Maple
sons repertory includes twenty-six operas,
most Of which will be given during the
season. Certainly there will be hitherto
unknown variety in such list, and, as to
the quality of the performances, the London
journals, the most critical on musical mat
tiers in the world, have set their stamp of
approval in no uncertain terms.

Both side. of tn. OH Question

Both Sides Of the OH Question.
Our Oil City letter published to-day gives
the substance OF interviews with prominent
men upon the two sides of the warfare over
petroleum. The representative Of what is
called the monopoly-that is, the combina-
ton of the Union Pipe Line and the Stand
ard Oil Company attributes the existing
feeling to over-production. and the con-
sequent fear on the part of each well
owner that his particular tank of oil
shall not reach the market. He also
explains what has seemed the strange
action of q prominent trunk railway in
making over the management Of its oil
transportation to one of the parties to the
alleged monopoly. On the other side
prominent shipper complains, apparently
with sufficient cause, that he cannot obtain
transportation facilities for oil that he de-
sires to bring from the wells to tidewater.
As the transportation of freight is the prin-
cipal source Of railway incomes this gentle
mans complaints cannot fail to impress the
community with the idea that either some
leading railways are sadly deficient in facil-
tlcS IOr trauS&SCtlHS tAoII OunA0oco W oAo0
that there is financial cause which does
not intrude itself upon the public gaze. If
either of these positions is correct the
time has come for producers and re-
finers to stop fighting and to unite to
such an extent as will enable producers
to sell and consumers to buy in open mar
ket with no more hindrance than comes of
honest competition. The financial impor-
lance Of the oil trade is known to business
men in general it ranks third in the ex-
porting business, while its home influence
includes every State of the Union. The
rival factions should unite upon some equi-
table business ground. While they fight
the cost Of the turmoil comes from the pock-
cts of consumers, producers and rcfners
being affected in neither one way nor the
other, for the one is compelled to withhold
while the other sells at undesirable prices.
Monopoly can never be made paying in
stitution in the United States, and the
sooner both sides realizs this the better for
every one concerned in the production or
sale OF petroleum.

Mark Twain says of certain street IN
Damascus alluded to by ST. Luke as 'the
street which is called Straight" that sit is
straighter than corkscrew, but not so
straight as a rainbow" A fortnight ago the
condition of the streets of New York IN
other than lineal sense might have been
illustrated by quite as broad a comparison.
The vigorous crusade of the HERALD, how
ever, has brought about great change, and
We are pleased to be able to offer the follow
ing report, made after careful inspection
of the streets by our reporters, and tor the
trustworthiness of which we can vouch:-
FOURTH WAND bounded BY Chatham street, East
River. Cathariue street and Peck slip)-lncudes
Cherry, Water and Oak streets and parts Of Pearl ana
Front streets; 10 now clean; was IN terribly filthy
condition when the HERALD began its exposures.
SIXTH WARD BOUNDED by Broadway, Park row. Chat
ham street ana the Bowery ana Canal street)-ln-
cludss Mulberry, Mott and other tenement house
Streets In good, clean condition; was IN hithy
state when the HERALD reporters 0rst examined II.

East River, Maiden lane and Spruce streci)-Now
clean.
FouRrRRxrH WARD bounded by Broadway. Bowery,
Canal and Houston sireets)-Inciudes portions OF
Mott, Mulberry, Hester and Elizabeth Streets now
fairly clean; was in filthy condition two weeks ago.
sIxrERsrH WARD bounded by Seventh avenue,
Tenth avenue. Fourteenth street and Twenty-sixth
street)-Incu des low streets near tho North River;
now fairly clean.
porary, the Times, has taken up the cudgels
in this cause, and we hope for its continued
cooperation in keeping the Street Cleaning
Bureau to its duty. Another phase OF
street reform in which we trust to have the
aid of our contemporary is that of better
pavements. Mr.. Walter, an English men,
Der of Parliament and proprietor Of the
London Times, expressed the opinion, sew
eral years ago, while visiting New York,
that the streets Of this city were worse
paved than those of any city in the world
not excepting Constantinople. 1t is
marvel to every foreigner that
our streets are tolerated in their
rough and uneven condition, con-
trasting so forcibly with the smooth and
we'll kept pavements Of European cities.
Tangier, upon the African coast, and some
of the older Oriental towns, may, perhaps,
Guido the primitive roughness of New York
pavements, but we should suffer by COM
parison with any third rate town OF France
or England or Germany, or even Spain.
What the inscrutable purpose Of the au-
thorities may be in permitting this condi-
ton of things we do not pretend to know.
Their reasons may be sanitary and have
something to do with the alienation of
dyspepsia by the 'jolting" cure. Perhaps
they only aim at originality. Whatever
the motive the result is deplorable We
hope to see reform, and trust our hope is
not altogether visionary and ephemeral.

From the monthly statement Of the -four
and grain business at Buffalo it would
seem that the peaceful settlement Of the
European complications has not had the
effect Of checking the forward movement of
breadstuffs to the seacosst. The receipts
of grain by lake at that city Last month ara
larger than in any previous August,
reaching the enormous aggregate of nearly
twelve and half million bushels. The re-
ceipts for the present season Of navigation
have already reached nearly forty-6ve
million bushels, and there are yet nearly
three busy months Of the autumn to come.
The canals have been doing an unprece-
dented business, and the outlook for the
season is very encouraging. The most
gratifying part of the prospect is the COM
tinued steady demand for breadstuffs at
this port for the foreign market. 1t is now
pretty we'll established that the liberal ex-
portation in the early part of the year was
not mere speculative furry induced by
the supposed prospect of wnr.
