and Northwestern markets and pay the advance.
The miners claimed that they did not want an
advance. All they asked was . continuance of

When the convention assembled in the even
cents to the base scale fixed. The operators
argued that natural gas had displaced 5000, 900

the decreaseds demand for iron, Illinois was
knocking out Pennsylvania and Ohio in the
trade, and an advance would cause seven tenths
of the mines in Pennsylvania and one-half of
those in Ohio to close down. Adjourned until
tomorrow without action.

Two more gas wells we're 'sshot" yesterday at
Greensburg and good flow of gas secured. At
the well of James Hart the escaping gas took
fire unexpectedly, and almost a panic ensued.
Several persons were quite severely, but not
fatally injured.
Judge Collins has granted a continuance in
the case of the State against Rice, Stewart and
Mason. and gave notice that it would be the first
criminal case called for trial on the fourth day
of next term-April Lat Brownstown. He
reduced the bond of each from s., 500 to $780,
The expectation of the defendants was that the
amount would be fixed at ST., 900 each, which
they were prepared to give through the inter
venton of friends at distance. As it is, it is
doubtful that they give bond.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
President Adams Before the House Committee on
Pacific Railroads

WASHINGTON, February n.-Charles
Francis Adams, president of the Union
Pacific Railway Company, appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Pacific
Railroads to-day and explained the at
titude of that company towards the fund
ing bills pending before the committee.
Generally he favored the Cultivate bill
with but few slight amendments, in
tended to relieve the most striking
features.
Mr.. Adams spoke an hour and a half.
He began his statement with reminder
to the committee that he had appeared
at its invitation, and said that he did
not come to make any extended re-
marks for the reason that he had made
statement to the committee two years
ago, which in its essential features he
had seen no occasion to revise. Mean
while the business had become two years
only the country, but Congress and the
press, had become somewhat weary. at
is an old story, gone over I'D aausedHe, !"
said Adams. He did not intend to go
over it again, but would simply refer
the committee to the enormous record
which exists and which has been in
creased by six or seven volumes of re-
ports of investigating commissions. He
proposed to pass that over as sufficiently
| investigated and come directly down to
the point where the commission had left
| the business. It had left it in the shape
of Z. report and accompanying bills.
