The Railroad Conference Moth
ing RAreompIished.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 2f.-The con-
ference Of the Railroad managers has so
far resulted in nothing except disagree
ments. The committee appointed TO
draw upa plan for harmonious action has
presented preliminary report touching
on the territorial question. No action
was taken. The longer the conference
continues the more reticent the mana
gers become. The impression tonight
IS that the meeting would terminate in
a fat failure to compromise the differ
ences. In view Of the Wall street re.
ports there is belief in the minds of
those competent to Judge, that the
Central Pacific and the Gould and Van
derbilts interests have combined to play
waiting game in order to test the
staying properties Of the Vllarl stocks.
The receipt Of kilograms from Wall
street are liable at any moment to
change the complexion Of the confer
ence.

EUREKA, New, Sept. pa desiruc-

ing ut Ruby Hill, destroying eighteen
buildings, stores, saloons, dwellings, and
miners cabins, within one hour. Loss
about $50, 900; insured for 50, 800. The
fire is believed to have been incendiary.
There is much feeling against the sus.
pected parties. The burnt district in
cludcs most of old Ruby Hill south, and
the gulch northward from the Miners
Union Hall.
Gray Accuses Capt. Bianding OF

SAN FRANcIsoo, Sept. 2i.-In Gray's
trial to-day, the defendant on the stand,
stated that Capt. Blanding is involved
in the defalcation of the Harbor Com
missioners' Office. Capt. Banding rose
in the Court and denied Gray's state
ment. Gray replied, saying he was tell

Experience is the only guide treated with
respect by mortals"
The question Is often asked: Why Is Il, when
you hear many business men complain
ing of dull times, look blue and wear a long
face and never seem satisfied, when, on the
mammoth store of l.. Wolfson, on Main plaza,
he will meet you with pleasant good morn
ing" and you are at once made TO feel as IL you
had meta man who would deal fairly and give
you full valve for your money. Wolfson never
grumbles about dull times and, more than all,
he Is persistent advertiser, and believes IL let
ting his customers and the general public know
what he has for sale, and does not believe in
letting goods remain on his shelves, and is
always willing TO divide profits with his
patrons. Furthermore, MIR. Wolfson always
advertises what he has for sale and s never
lust OUT His fair dealing, low prices and
persistent advertising Is the key TO this secret,

Yesterday evening there was considerable
excitement at the residence OF Mr. Simmons
in the Fourth ward. A stranger was seen by
the ladies to enter the house and to 20 cody
into the Parlor, closing the door behind him.
me key was on the outside and the young
ladies turned it, locking the stranger in. Then
they raised cry and policeman was called to
arrest the burglar. He entered the room and
found that like Love in Poverty's house, he
had entered in at door and Aown out of the
WINDOW Subsequently it was proved that the
stranger was gentleman of undoubted re-
speciality who had got into the wrong
house.

Dumas Crusade,

From the Sunbeam.
Alexandra Dumas, 6ls, has undertaken a
crusade against the increasing luxury and
realism of scenery and dress on the stage.
There is something to be said for M. Dumas
contention, but at the same time we fancy
that any attempt TO combat the present costly
tendencies Of the stage is indeed hopeless.
Alter all, with all our realism and all our ex-
travagance, we have not yet reached the point
attained by the Romans, who came at last to
insist on having real houses burned down in
plays where CONGREGATIONS occurred and real
deaths in their tragedies.

Aresident Of Brooklyn who has lately re-
turned from visit to the west of England,
tells of an Englshman who persisted in the
belief that bufaloes furnished all the meat
canned in America. After exhausting every
argument to convince the absurdity OF his idea
the Brooklyn man sarca stically admitted that
the Englishman was right. "But," he added,
"while am making admissions, may as
well say that all the canned salmon put up in
America is also made OF buffalo meat"

millionaire has with priests vestment is be-
yond guessing, unless he intended paralyzing
his neighbors with new and striking style Of
dressing gown. And we Dohahoe he'll use
up all that soap, either.

Among the indictments returned yesterday
was one against c. w. Hartley, who is ac-
cused Of setting fire to his store on Commerce
street, few weeks ago, and who is now in
Jail. He is charged with perjury ard with
having set fire to his store, but having regard
to the action of the fire insurance company, it
is questionable whether he will be convicted
