London Firealas News.

London Firesiie News.
Some one has Ventured the very
bold suggestion that as the French
have raised the bigest tower it is for
Us to dig the deepest hole. The spot
marked out for the experiment is the
site of the 1851 exhibition in Hyde
Park. There would be staircase
round the hole, q shaft in the center
and the whole would be lighted by
electricity. In each strata there
should be an exGayated museum, with
specimen of the minerals, fossils, etc.
This would settle tie question as to q
coal deposit under London, also sup-
posing the granite to be of aqueous
formation. By cutting through it we
should reach the floor of the earth,
and If IL should be found that the
precious metals are found en- masse,
we should startle the world as did
Christopher Columbus OF old. Many
other interesting questions as to the
increasing weight and heat of the air,
as to the state of the earth's center,
the utilization of hot springs, the
cause of volcanoes and earthquakes,
etc, might be satisfactorily answered.
Thomas S. Davis, Of Birming CHAM,
Ala, 26 years of age, brings snit for
$4,000 against the Georgia Pacific
Railroad Company, and alleges that
"through the carelessness of the off
GERS of that corporation bis heart was
knocked from the left side of his
body to the right, much to his physi-
cal and mental discomfort. He was
employed as brakeman for the com
pany few months since, and was ~
iured 10 a wreck. He alleges that
his intestines were turned complete
ly around by the injuries he re-
eeiye6, and his heart afterwsrd
changed in sympathy with them,'
Doubtless the attorneys for the rail
road will insist npon ocular demon
stration of this alleged trouble sin
his midst" and require that be be
opened for inspection.-N. 0. Times

ROUGH AND TUMBLE.
The OIL Market Enlivened by scrimmnge
Between Bulls and Bears.

The Oil Market Eulivened by Scrimmnge
Between Bulls and Bears.
The oil market yesterday resolved itself into
a battle between the bulls and the bears, in
which the former had little the best of the
scrimmage George B. Hill & Co. dumped
about 10000 barrels. and Sproul & Lawrence
5000 or more. Roseberg in New York, was
also a heavy seller. At this juncture, when it
looked very blue forth bears, Simpson, of OIL
City sailed in and took everything offered.
This steadied the market. After this the
course of prices was generally upward. 1t was
a narrow escape from disastrous slump.
The market opened at 90X and held around
that price for some time. when, by easy stages,
it reached 9l where it held for an hour OF two,
and then climbed to 913s with one sale. From
this point it sold down IN the last half hour to
9OX and closed at 9l, with plenty of stuff and
carrying about 25 cents. 1t was the opinion of
several brokers that a lower level would be
reached within the next two days.
A. B. McGrew & Co. quotes puts, 9015c; calls,
9lAc.

THEIR POLICY DIFFERS.
A Lawyers Decision Knocks Ont the 2
Cent Rate on the Penn Lines.

A Lawyers Decision Knocks Out the =
Cent Rate on the Penn Lines.
Last week General Passenger Agent E.
A. Ford, of the Pennsylvania Company,
withdrew the 2-cent rate for parties of ten
or more. This week General Passenger
Agent Wood, of the Pennsylvania road,
restores the rate. The difference in policy
has caused considerable comment in local
railroad circles, and Mr.. Ford's next move
is looked Tor with interest.
Mr. Ford SAYS his reason for Withdrawing
the 2-cent rate was based on a decision oi
General Counsel Brooks, of the road, who
declared that such rates are illegal. Mean
while the balance of the great roads of the
country will continue to issue 2-cent rates
to parties of ten or more until Judge Cooley
decides that it is against the law.
