WIS Immediately sent of by Mr.. Ran
dolph last evening to q corps Of them
ordering them to report here at once tor
duty, and word was received last night
that six OF them we're on their way from
Conceivable. They will Immediately be
put to work on the three routes we have
named, and in the course Of week they
will have gone over the ground and made
their estimates OF the cost OF each route
and their relative advantages. Mr. Ran
dolph estimates tunnel OF 1850 feet for
the Seminary hill route, and 5000 feet for
the LaBelle route.
Aswe have stated, the railroad COM
pany have not as yet definitely indicated
what they will expect from the city, and
1t is perhaps premature to speculate upon
what they will demand, but 1t seems to be
understood that they will ask the city to
deirRy at least part Of the expense Of get
ting through the corporate limits, and
also some concession in regard to taxes,
Assuming that this will be their expecta'
ton, and without undertaking to express
any opinion as to what the response Of the
city will be, we presume that on
her part abe will expect q very definite
agreement on the subject OF ireighh. The
special advantage, and in fact the only sd'
vantage worthy Of emphasis, in Connec'
ton with the completion OF the Hempheld,
Is the matter OF cheap coke. Mr.. Keyser
indicated q willingness to enter into an
agreement on this point in return for con-
Cessions from the city. He will no doubt
agree to name the Pittsburgh rate, pro-
vided the expectations OF the company
are met on the part Of the city. What the
rate will be in case the company Is LEFT
to build the line by It's own route and on
Its own terms, as best 1t can, Is OF course
wholly q matter for the future 10
solve. He gave out no intimahon on that
point. The company would Of course hold
that matter in allegiance under such cir
cumstanCes until they had completed the
road. 1t Is therefore a matter for all the
interests involved to decide within the
next few days whether they prefer to ar
range definite terms now, on the basis oil
q give and take adjustment, or whether
they prefer to let the company go on Of
themselves and build their road and make
such terms as they see ct after the COM
pletion Of their line,

more than ten votes TO one, continues
10 be theme of discussion at the Ma.
tional Capital. Sentiment here is alto.
gether against Murray in this matter,
and there are demands that he should
be removed. Although the President
is strongly anti iMormon, it is not be-
heved that he looks with favor upon Mr..
Murray's action, who presumes to sit as
Judge in an election case and decide that
the man beaten by seventeen thousand
votes is elected. TX Governor AxtelI,
formerly Governor of the Territory, is
here, and it is believed that he hopes TO
succeed Murray when Garfield comes
in.

Representative, was asked in barter

to keep me from interfering with the

EINIRA, n. Y, January 23.-Erie
train No. l2, from Buffalo, left Elmirs
last night at ii O'Clock for New York.
The train consisted OF one postal car,
one express car, two baggage cars and
nine passenger coaches, most Of them

west OF 0wego, near Tioga Centre, one
OF the driving wheel axles OF the engine
broke close up to the wheel, and the en-
tire train going at the rate OF thirty-hve
miles an hour was thrown from

where there was no embankment.

engineer applying the air brakes az

stopped every quickly but the forward
ones were turned oyer and over two or
three times, some going on one side OF
the track and some on the other. The
engineer and fireman escaped unhiut.
The postal car contained four clerks.
This car almost instantly took fre and
burned like gunpowder, the oil lamps
used probably exploded, and aided iuel
to the fire from the stove; every man in
the car roasted 10 Il crisp. The remains
OF one who weighed over two hundred

box. In the express car was messen.

drove them away. They saw that his
hair and whiskers were burned of, and
then he put his hand up to his eyes and
fell back into the flames. Five men IN
all were burned. No passengers injur

New Lines from Chicago TO the East.

New Lines from Chicago 10 the East.
CmICAGo, January 22.-For some
weeks there has been quiet movement
here toward the organization OF new
telegraph lines between Chicago and the
East. The proposed consolidation OF
the existing telegraph companies has
FASTENED matters and led TO inquiry in
10 the facts, which will be made known
through the Tribune tomorrow. 1t APP
pears that one set OF capitalists, includ-
ing Perry II. Smith. \. h. Fairbank,
Dunlap and others, who have been ex-
tensivc dealers in stocks, had in con-
templation the erection Of four.wre

of Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo,

including all the lake and grain ports,

and 10 cost SiC0, 900. At the same time
another set OF capitalists, including Mar
shal Field and John h Lyon, were or
ganizing another telegraph scheme,
which was to take in all the principal
eastern cities, with direct lines from
Chicago. When the two parties found
what was being done, they Immediately
arranged consolidation, the particulars
Of which are not yet known, and decided
TO push the enterprise with all the vigor
and speed possible. An application for
a charter was sent 10 Springfield this
morning, and it is intended TO take the
necessary legal steps in all the other
States where the line is TO run.

1t is rumored here that Van. Zeyerly,

Superintendent OF Schools.
There are many rumors current in re.
gard to the Lapsley murder which &C.
Cured few miles east OF here Thurs
day night. AS near as We can gather
the facts, the murder occurred as
follows: The younger brother who is
charged with the crime, has been making
his home with the elder brother
and returning to his brothers house in
toxicated, became noisy and abusive,
and was ordered out of the house by his
brother, but refused to 90. The elder
brother then attempted to throw him
out and in the scuiile which occurred,
received stab with knife in his broth
ers hand, which penetrated the heart,
causing death instantly.
The murderer was arrested and con-
fined in Jail, and for one 80 young seems
to be hardened, and makes very light OF
the affair. He admits the deed, but
claims that it was accidental. +.

came in Yesterday morning, and the
way was opened for il hy Very heavy
snow plow pushed by three large engines
of the Missouri Pacific road. This plow
has been constantly at work day and

keep the track clear. This afternoon
snow was falling so fast that il was inn
possible 10 run trains on the west end
OF the road. The snow plow will leave

will soon be running regular.
