bradford pa Dispatch.l


One of those disasters peculiar to the oil
country shocked the people of Bradford to-
day. An entire passenger train on the
Bradford Borwell and Kinzua Narrow-G auge
railroad was destroyed by fire. The train
ran through a river OF oil which had escaped
from burst tank on the steep hin and
coursed down over the snow and into the
bed of the track, down which IL ran for
fully half a mile. The grade at that point,
which was very steep, allowed this great
leeway. The train consisted OF IN ex-
press car and passenger coach, both well
filled with passengers. The engineer was not
aware OF the dangerous ground his train was
traversing.
The moment the oil came in contact with
the furnace Of the engine 1t ignited and at
once enyeloped the entire train in IA mass OF
fame The engineer, Patrick Sexton APP
piled the air-brake and reversed the engine.
The halt was very brief. The track for over
600 feet ahead a roaing sea OF flame.
Great clouds of dense black smoke assembled
heavenward. The engineer opened wide
the throttle, and away Numbered the train
through "A sea of smoke, fame, and oil. The
speed attained was terrible, and acted as
huge fan to the con6agrat'on. The engineer
saw a sharp curve ahead, and, quickly re-
versing his engine, with his fireman, Mike
Walsh, jumped into the snowbank which
ribly burned. The entire train was derailed
and thrown down an embankment.
In the fire hemmed coach the scene beg
CARED description. Locked In and helpless in
a furnace of fire, travelling at the rate OF
fifteen miles an hour. their anguish knew no
bounds. Men of nerve lost their heads.
women fell to the floor in a swoos, and the
cries and lamentations of little children were
heartrending.
There was a dash through doors and win
dows and through the sweeping flames, which
Cooked the flesh and singed the hair on the
faces and heads of the imprisoned passen-
gers.
In the dash for liberty IL was everybody for
themselves, and men In their desperation
jumped from the speeding train and fell pros
trate TO the ground, burned and mangled. So
intense was the heat that one minute after
the train entered the sea of fire every window
was cracked. Two-thirds OF the passengers
jumped through the narrow windows, the
majority escaping with severe burns, while
the lucky few escaped without IA scratch.
Three persons, all of them women, were
found burned to death, and about thirty
more or less seriously injured. Some of the
injured will in all probability die. Several
of the persons extricated from the wreck
have their limbs charred so badly that they
will have to be amputated.

THE TEXAS.PACIFIC GRANT.
A Bill for It's Forfeiture TO BE Reported

A Bill for It's Forfeiture TO BE Reported.
A Washington special says: The House
Public Lands Committee has made good its
promise to report an early forfeiture of the
Texas Pacific and other IMMIGRANTS. To-day
the committee considered the arguments
which have been made and unanimously voted
to forfeit the grant of the Texas Pacific. The
bill will be prepared at once. The determine
uion OF the Public Lands Committee 20 pro-
coed with these land-grant roads as rapidly as
possible was illustrated by the fact that &c
has been decided in all the important hearings
hereafter TO give To each case but one hour
on each side 10 the lawyers for argument.
This will be considered a great hardship. The
railroad men say that it is in fact an an
nounccment that the committee is organized
TO convict.

The livestock dealers, through Representa-

petition asking legislation to protect their in
terests. The memoriallsts ask Congress to
provide means for the extinction Of the dis
ease of pleuro-pneumonia. This, they say,
can only be done by the slaughter of all In
fected cattle. The estimated expense of such
a measure is 81, 100000. Not more than $780,
900 need be Immediately available. The mo-
mortal further recommends the removing OF
the prejudice of foreign customers by a rigid
system of inspection for an meat products

GEN. SHERMAN.
Is He a Presidential Candidate?

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.1
There is considerable excitement among
politicians here consequent upon credited
rumor that Senator John Sherman and ex-
Speaker Keifer had concluded an alliance to
press Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman for the
Republican Presidential nomination. Gen.
Sherman is on the ground, and although never
allied with Republican politics, has been
taken down badly with the Presidential dis
ease, In spite of previous protestations that
under no circumstances would he become a
candidate. Rumor has il that overtures have
already been made TO ex-senator Conkling TO
favor Gen. Sherman's nomination, and that
Congressman Belford was the ambassador,
but the latter statement is discredited. Con-
gresham Bedford did have certain confer
ences with ex-senator Conkling, the sup
posed object of which was TO effect a recon-
Citation between Conkling and President
Arthur, in which mission he has not so far
succeeded.

John sherman's Currency Bill.

John Sherman's Currency Bill.
At the meeting of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, says a Washington dispatch, Mr..
Sherman proposed an important amendment
to his own bill, designed to meet the objection
that the measure would base the amount OF
circulation upon a fiuctuating standard. He
proposed to authorize the Secretary to issue
national bank notes up to so per cent of the
face value of per cent. bonds deposited as
security for circulation. Where higher-rate
bonds were deposited he proposed to compute
the interest above 3 per cent. and allow
circulation to the amount of 80 per cent. of
the aggregate interest over 3 per cent. for
the whole time such bonds have TO run.
Thus, per cent. bonds, having twenty-three
years TO run, on being deposited as security
for circulation, would entitle the bank de-
posting them to receive currency at the rate
of 110.1 for each 100 bond deposited that be-
ing 90 per cent. of the face value and 80 per
cent. additional for all excess of interest over
3 per cent.
