AwAKING TO FIND HER ROOM IN FLA MES
AND HER MONEY STOLEN.
OLEAN, N. Y, June 30-Mrs. Rachel
Hollis, an elderly widow who lives alone
near Oil City, awoke at $50 O'Clock yes
ter,iay morning almost suffocated and
found her bed. her clothing that hung
near, the window curtains and the carpet
in her room all ON fire. Mrs. Hollis
kept nearly 81, 200 in bank bills in cup.
board near her bed and her first thought
was of her money. She fought her way
through the smoke to this cupboard and
found that she had been robbed. The
old lady then managed to get to win
dow and give an alarm. Her cries were
heard and assistance quickly reached
her. The loss of her money had almost
crazed her and it was with difficulty
that she was taken from the room, which
was all ablaze when her rescuers enter
ed. The flames were soon extinguished
and the discovery was made that oil
had been poured about the room and
fred. Fire was also discovered burning
in four other rooms in the house. The
fact that Mrs. Hollis kept large sums of
money in her house has long been COM
monty known, and the robbery was no
doubt committed by parties familiar
with the premises and with Mrs. Hollis's
practice of keeping money, and it Is
believed that, whoever they are, they
were prepared to add murder and arson
to the crime of robbery. The house was
damaged to the amount of $500. No ar
rests have yet been made.

Prior to 1872 the Erie Railroad paid
annually for new rails, and repairs to
rails, $2,630 a mile. Since then the
road has been laid with steel rails, and
the repairs thereby so reduced that the
annual expense on that account amounts
now to but $253 per mile. On the ell
tire road this affords saving of $780,
900. The Railroad Gazette estimates
that the substitution of steel rails effect
a clear saving to the railroads of this
country oil $19,000,000. The extensive
use of steel rails began i'll 1873, at which
time nearly IL per cent. of the rails were
replaced yearly, while in 1878, only 81
per cent. had to be relaid.
