An OIL Train on Fire.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 23.-About 1890
this morning an eastward bound oil-tank
train took fire from some unknown cause
between Staatsburg and Sterling Junction.
The last report was at IL o'clock, after
which nothing could be learned because the
wires are all down and poles burned. At
that time ten oil-tank cars were blazing.
The rails are curled up with the heat on
both tracks and the ties are burned. The
morning express train, No. l West, and
everything else is detained, as well as No
express, East-bound, and several miles of
freight cars The wrccker has gone up, but
cannot get near enough to work.
No houses are near, so that the damage is
confined to the railroad company. No cas-
ualtics are reported. Everything along the
line is dcmoralized in consequence, but ii is
thought that the track will be clear this
afternoon

FATAL RIOTING.
4 Pitched Battle Between Police
and strikers.

CINcINNATI, OHIO, Sept. 23.-An At
lanta special says that the striking steve
dorcs at Savannah, Ga, have been making
notorious demonstrations in the streets and
the police were called out. The strikers
were ordered to dspersc, and refused.
Firing then began on both sides. The po-
lice were mounted and had great adj
vantage in the use of Weapons, and poured
an incessant fire into the rioters for several
minutes, when the mob fed in confusion.
Eight were killed and dozens were severely
wounded, and it Is supposed others were
slightly wounded. Two policemen were
wounded. The militia is being called out,
but all Is quiet now.

To-day there was new phase of the war
between certain merchants and clothing
dealers on ID street, between Ninth and
Tenth northwest families of llecht
Goldberg and Levi-which has been in prog

demanded the attention of the Police Court.

The Best Homes.

There is much wealth and con-
siderable culture in cities of Cali
fornia and Oregon, but what is
needed is more homes where the
talented and accomplished could
occasionally meet. Homes like
that of Lady Bessington and the
Holland mansion in London, and
the late Carey sisters in New
York. The houses occupied by
these ladies will remain forever
famous for the delightful society
that gathered there. 1t was at
Lady Bessington's that Lord Ma
cauly first met Tom Moore. In
fact most of the celebrated authors
and men of genius in England Of
the past generation have made the
acquaintance of each other in one
or another of the homes mentioned.
AT the Carey sisters ia New York
could be found almost any
evening, either Horace Greeley,
Bayard Taylor, Bancroft, the
historian, Rev. DIR. Chaplin,
Stedman, the poet, and men
distinguished IN science or phi
losophy, thinkers and orators. 1t
was always regarded a very high
honor to he invited to the home of
Alice and Phoebe Carey, on ac-
count Of the brilliant company one
was always sure to meet there.
Why do not some of our Oregon
and California ladies of wealth
make her house rendezvous for
men and women of talent? Surely
no position in fashionable society
I
could at all equal the fame such a
lady would achieve when she had
once gathered beneath her roof the
gifted people of our coast. 1t
would not be necessary to in
vite the bohemian penny lin
ers. There are plenty of
thinkers and people who write
and talk brilliantly, who are
ladies and gentlemen as we'll
This most delightful home of the
Pacific has yet to be made. 1t
will be the one where cultured
and talented people can always
find a welcome and be kindly ell
tertained. The pleasure andinstruc-
ton such guests give in return for
hospitality far exceed the cost and
trouble their visits make. What
can be more refreshing than TO
know that at a certain home you
can always find some one who has
knowledge to impart-a place
where genial wit meets mellow
humor, and where not an hour can
be spent without improvement OF
some kind?

VilIard-BilIings Talk.

We have given through these
columns says the Oregonian, the
document prepared by Mr. Willard,
and embodying his suggestions as
10 relations between the two COM
panies, together with his views as
to- plans of construction and oper-
alton. Our readers will likewise
be interested in a statement of the
views Of Mr.. Billings, as embodied
an a letter to Mr.. Willard. by
comparing the two documents it
will be seen that the views present
ed in them are at variance on a
single point. The difference may
be thus stated.
Mr.. Willard suggests that the
Northern Pacific postpone all new
construction west OF Wallula,
until the main line shall be finished
TO Ainsworth, with the exception
of a short extension from Aims
worth to the Yakima country; but,
after the completion Of such main
line to Ainsworth, the Northern
Pacific to be at liberty to build
over the Cascade range or along
the Columbia river, or both, as the
best interests of the company may
require. Mr.. Billings answers, in
substance, that he does not wish
TO consent by such arrangement
to postpone construction of the
western division of the Northern
Pacific.
The surveys for the Cascade
line are not completed, but he be-
Geves a practicable route will be
found. If, however, there is no
practicable route, that ends the
matter. He argues the case on
grounds wholly different from
those stated in Mr.. Wizards reason
ing, which set forth very strongly
the advantages that would accrue
10 both companies from the ar
rangement proposed. There is
force in either argument; but it is
plain that the plan of Mr.. Willard
would hasten the completion oI
the Northern Pacific across the
continent, and, by saving the pres
ent expenditure of many millions
On the most difficult part of the
line, where there is no local traffic
demanding line, would prove
taking the whole situation into ac,
count-to be the better business
proposition.

The proposed Union Pacific ex-
tension from Granger, Wyoming,
to Portland, runs from Granger to
Bear river, thence through Soda
Springs, Idaho, down Snake river
and to Portland. The line is about
800 miles in length and will be
ready for the work Of construction
at the earliest possible day. Mr..
Clark, of Omaha, has charge of the
surveying of the first $50 miles
from Granger, and expects to be
engaged until the middle of the
summer or longer. This extension
will give a valuable outlet to Ore
gon, as well as reaching some
valuable points in Idaho. When
we passed Granger coming west,
on the 25th ult., six days after the
final agreement between the Union
Pacific and Oregon Railway and
Navigation companies, tents of the
engineer corps were in the field.
The intention is to have the road
finished and in complete operation
by the end of June, 1882. 1t will
cross the Utah and Northern about
as far north of Ogden as it leaves
the main line east of Ogden.

The Next House.

A Washington dispatch says
The talk about an anti Republican
combination to organize the next
House of Congress is revived here.
While ex-Speaker Randall is very
active in the organization of the
movement, he does not expect to be
the opposition cai didate for speak
That honor is intended for Ladd OF
Maine, who has Oeen staunch
democrat for years, and is accepta-
BILE to the green hackers. All the
the democrats elected to the next
House are willing to support Ladd
TOR Speaker, and the combination
proposes to give the greenbackers
either the Clerk or Sergeant-at
Arms, and control the important
committees. Ladd and the green
hackers will undertake to carry
Frye's district, made vacant by the
election of Frye to the Senate, and
the democrats propose to carry
Morton's district in New York city.
Should the Republicans lose these
two districts they would be in the
minority. But then the two read
juster members from Virginia are
doubtful. The democrats claim
that if they carry Virginia next fall,
both the readjusters will vote with
them in the organization of the
House. Active operations looking
to the organization of the House in
December have been going on for
some time.

A Mila in 2:oa.

Mr.. Robert Bonner is confident
that his trotters, Rasus and Edwin
Forrest, can beat the best time on
record. A Sun reporter asked MIR.
Bonner yesterday whether he pro-
prosed to trot these horses against
time. He replied:
eff can get Rarus and Edwin
Forrest into a satisfactory condi-
tion, may give an exhibition trot
in August. l have not arranged
details, but either the Prospect Park
or Hartford track will probably be
selected, as l do not consider the
Fleetwood track fast enough.
think either Edwin Forrest or Rarus
ought to beat 2:10, and the former
driver of Rarus, Splann, thinks he
can go in 2:0S. Both horses have
trotted in 2:114 on a three quarter
track, which is considered by sport
ing men better than 2:104 on a mile
track. You see, on a three quarter
track you go around circle of
tweG ty-three acres, while on a mile
track you traverse circle of forty
two acres. 1t is easy to understand
that in the former case the turns
are much more abrupt than in the
latter. No half-mile track can be
as fast as three quarter track, nor
any three quarter track as fast as a
mile track. A week ago to-day 1
drove Edwin Forrest to a top wagon,
356 pounds, in 1924, and at present
he is in better shape than any other
horse I've got. ! have no doubt
that both horses can beat the best
record"
