PORTLAND, June 23.-It is reported, ON
what is regarded as good authority, that
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
have completed negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Oregon Railways narrow
gauge lines in Oregon. These lines rep
resent about 240 miles of road. The
price paid is reported to be
81 100000. The terms of transfer have
been agreed upon by G. P. Huntington
and the bondholders. The conditions as
stipulated have been ratified By the
bondholders in Scotland, and the matter
will have to be submitted to the United
States Court before formal transfer can
be made.

He drove every Democrat in a State ap-

Gle PROGRESS" one of our local French
papers, has very poor idea of ciyili2a-
ton which permits and encourages such
brutal pugilistic exhibitions as that
which took place few evenings ago
between Mulholland and Manning.
Whilst the punishment received by pro-
fessional fighters does not at all excite
our pity, we agree with the Progress that
in the interest of civilization such ex-
hibitions should be stopped. Says the
Pr0gres:
"Spanish bull fights have been de-
nounced without measure, sucl repre-
sentations having been looked upon as q
surviving barbarism of the dark ages.
We agree with this view. But what will
be said about the men, who, under the
eyes of crowd of people, will batter
themselves to the great qualification
of the spectators That is a point,
however, we have reached in a
civilized country. The newspapers fill
their columns with details of the match /;
they count the number of blows ex-
changed; exult over and applaud the
victor, and are without pity for the
vanquished, whose jaw is put in sling,
and who will, perhaps, be confined to
his bed for long time. These are our
manners; but what will enlightened
people in Europe say when they come to
read of such things? That we are
savages? Well. they would be right.
Savages, yesl 0fcourse, you understand
we write OF the mill that took place at
the Athletic Club last Wednesday night.
P,tisble! Pitiable !''
France - polished France - would
doubtless agree with our neighbours crit
icism, but how about Eng land? That is
the home of the sluggers, and the aristo-
cracy are the patrons of the "manly art. :"
word, in this connection, about the
reflections of the Progres upon the news
papers for publishing full reports OF these
matches. A newspaper worthy OF the
name must publish the news. and GER
tainly set fight between two noted
bruisers, backed by large percentage OF
people who are respectable, is kind OF
matter that no newspaper can afford to
miss. 1t does not follow that the
paper endorses or admires these
brutal encounters. All sorts of crime,
outrages and offences against good morals
are constantly occurring, and the news
papers are required, by the very exigence
of their business, to publish reports OF
them. No one would, however, hint
that, because they publish accounts OF
murders, assaults, and other offensive
events, they approve of such things.

A CAUTIOUS JURY.
They Would Not Risk the Judges
Sentence.

SAN BERNARDINo, June 23-The jury
in the trial of Mrs. Penman, for the
murder of Professor Sullivan, alter being
out all night, returned verdict of not
guilty, and the prisoner was discharged.
The jury stood all night two for convic-
tion and ten for aequittal. 1t is under
stood that the jury would have brought
in a verdict of manslaughter, but they
feared that the Judge would give long
sentence. They thought prisoner should
be punished lightly, but rather than run
the risk of heavy penalty they de-
clared her innocent. Mrs. Penman
killed Sullivan for having, SO she
claimed. assaulted her daughter.

AN ORGANIsr's DREAM The Jefferson
Street Methodist Church at Louisville, KY,
which was dedicated by Bishop Keener last
Sunday, would have been in ashes the day
before but for a singular dream of Miss Belle
Ferguson. the church organist. Miss Fer,
guson was much interested in the coming
dedication and had worked assiduously to
get the new organ in good condition. The
matter weighed heavily on her mind, and on
last Thursday night she dreamed several
times that the organ was in bad condition.
The next day she could not shake of the
impression: and on Friday evening she grew
30 uneasy that she took friend and went
to the church. AS soon es they opened the
door they found the altar beginning to bsZ
from bundle of rsgs which had been used
in oiling and vanishing the wood work.
The fire was easily exiDguished, but little
later the church would probably have been
destroyed. Il is supposed the rags were ig-
nted by spontaneous combustion.

The Oyster Question.

The steamer Governor Hamilton, OF the
MARYLAND State fishery force, reached
Baltimore last night from visit OF inspeo'
ton to Hog Island aud vicinity, the scene
of the reported depredatioDs upon the
oyster bads. which, by the compact Of 1854,
were placed under the joint protection OF
MARYLAND and Virginia. Hcg Island is be-
tween Cone and Yecomico rivers, not far
from Kinsae, on the Virginia side of the
river.
Captain Howard states that when be
reached Hog Island twelve dredgers were
at work ON the oyster rock. which has here.
tofore been recognized under the 1854
agreement "a the common property OF
MARYLAND and Virginia oystermeu. These
boats were employed by Mr.. Charles Lewis,
who has grant from the Virginia Legisa-
tpre to the exclusive privilege of fishing this
rock, In consideration of eight hundred do''
lars paid annually to the State.
Captain Howard made no arrests, oe'
cause, as he said, the matter was one foe ad.
iustment between the governors of the two
States. Arrests would have complicated
ahe situation, and he deemed it best to
await the action of the CD vernon OF Mary
land, and not throw any obstacles 10 the
way Of pacific adj u stment OF the matter, II
such could be reached.

duties as follower of the Holy One OF Nazareth
she was ever keenly alive. Her life was dai Y
exemplifcation of these abiding and noble sttrl-
butes-kaith, Hope, Love. Her faith in Gods
daily providence was as the faith of little child
her hope of eternal joy in the bright after-world
Bss clear and strong and we who knew her daily
life have never doubted that she was bounteously
gifted with that sacred Christian love which is
the theme of the 18th chapter Of ST. Faul's letter
to the Corinthisn saints.
Cherished friend, gentle and loving mother,

memory While our heart, are bleeding we find
it impos ible to strew thy casket with the flowers
of rhetoric, but We will biptize thy grave with

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26.

VIEWED IN its proper light. nothing could
be more ridiculous that the approaching
Commercial Congress of the Three Ameri-
cas, to assemble in Washington next month.
Though this country ia so close to Central
and South America, it only supplies eleven
per cent. of the imports of those countries,
the remaining eighty nine per cent. coming
from Europe. The reason Of this is twofoio.
Owing to the free trade or low tarti OF Eu
rope, European manufactures can not only
be purchased at cheap rates, but be paid Tor
with the native products of Central and
South America while the high tariff OF the
United States not only makes the price Of
the manufactures of this country high, but
prohibits the payment of that price with
native products of other countries. Until
the Congress of the United States shall re-
move or reduce the tariff it ncw imposes on
the products of foreign countries, the money
it expends on international commercial
congresses ls Just so much thrown away.

'If no quiet and orderly way can be found for
