A Lively Runaway.

About 2 O'Clock pm. yesterday Main
Street was the scene OF the liveliest
runaway enacted in this city for
months. Thomas Stranger, who lives
out at the Marriott settlement. short
distance from town, was in the city
with his team delivering produce, as is
his custom. He had left his team
hitched on Main Street, near Sixth, for
short time, and when he returned to
them they were standing patiently
waiting. After untying the halter he
started to get into his wagon, when q
big back dog, who was frolicking with
some other dogs, jumped against one CT
the horses heels, causing the horse to
jump, and both horses started off at q
lively gait. Mr.. Stayner succeeded in
grasping the lines just as the horses
started. but was hit by the front wheel
of his wagon and thrown down. With
more persistency than good judgment
he held on to the horses while the now
thoroughly frightened team sped north
ward along Main Street, dragging him
on his side and back until his clothes
were worn through to the skin.
The street was in very bad condi-
ton, the warm sun having melted
suffi Gent of the snow and ice to cause
the mud to be about an inch deep and
very watery. When near the corner of
Fifth Street Mr.. Stayner was forced to
let 60 his hold and the team
sped on with redoubled fury.
through the thicksst part of the travel
the now thoroughly frantic horses
rushed, but the teamsters anead1 heard
the shou ting and luckily got out of the
way. When First Street was reached
a team of horses attached to farm
wagon owned and driven by John Will
son and occupied by him and his son
William, was struck by the runaway
team and overturned. The occupants
were tumbled into the mud and some
ten bushels OF wheat in sacks with
them. Neither of the gentlemen was
seriously injured, but both presented q
much dis6gured appearance to the by
ISLANDERS and crowd that sooncollected at
THE SCENE OF THE WRECK.
Both of the runaway horses were
thrown by the force of the shock, and
the off one somewhat SCARED. The front
wheel of the lighter wagon had struck
a hind wheel of the heavy vehicle, and
sprung the axle and demolished about
half of the uokes OF the latter One of
Mr.. Wilson's horses was also thrown,
but was also got out of the wreck IN
injured. The wagons were righted and
the damages temporarily patched up
Thomas ]. Stayner, son of the owner of
the runaway, having seen his fathers
team going up the road without their
driver, procured a saddle horss and
followed as soon as possible. He took
charge of the runaway team and drove
it back to town Meanwhile his father
had hobbled to a neighboring saloon.
and the accommodating bartender had
applied court plaster to some wounds
on his face, and the old gent was as
sisted to mis- team and drove home.

the influence of the Russian composition
is Of no value In the interna-
tiOnal trades. It Is point which
nearly every one seems to overlook,
that all the results which are generally re-
ferred to as having been secured under the
Standard regime. have been, SO far as the ex-
port trade is concerned, secured under the
influence Of competition with Russian oil.
In this very particular the result Of competi-
tion between the two fields in keeping the
price of this illuminant at reasonable figures,
may be credited with the chief share of such
an immense expansion of demand that the
shipments from both fields have been enabled
to be increased. 1t is, in short,s a new illustra-
ton of the old sdsge about competition be-
ing the life of trade.
Another point is suggestive in this connec-
tiOn. The export figures show that the gain
in the quantity of petroleum exported is
greater than the gain in value. In the home
market for the past year prices Of petroleum
have averaged higher than for 1888. Does
not the contrast afforded by the fact that we
have sold Europe petroleum this year at
actually lower prices per gallon than in 1888,
convey q very strong inference as to the re-
sultssof the more active competition in the
foreign markets for refined petroleum than
we enjoy at home.

rae ARcH1rEcruRE or rae ROWS.

Before 1890 is yet here come we'll authen-
ticated mention of several handsome new
buildings for Pittsburg, the plans for which
are now in preparation. Nothing is so sug-
gestive Of the metropolitan come-tO-stsy big
ness of the town now, compared with the
proportions of ten years ago, as the really
astonishing architectural output of the dec
ade, particularly of the past four years.
Tall, spacious and magnificent buildings
have risen on all the business streets. Some
are scarce surpassed anywhere for style and
dimensions. The German National, the
National Bank of Commerce and the Ma
rine Bank quarters, now in course of erec-
tion, are splendid instances of the new
means, the new ideas, the new life-blood
that is coursing through the business arteries
of staid old Pittsburg. There are dozens of
other elegant edifces in testimony.
When the fashion of great buildings first
took hold here-and it seems but the other
day-they were looked on as doubtful ex-
pertinent. Where would the tenants come
from for the first Office buildings, the Lewis,
the Hamilton, the Schmidt & Friday? The
people who accept only the established
shook their heads. But since then the large
ofice-buildings have more than three or four
times multiplied, and still the demand for
accommodations is greater than the supply.
We see in the Clearing House returns
weekly the figures to prove that Pittsburg's
business has doubled in the past six years.
But the cold figures do not tell the story as
well as this rebuilding of the city, whereby
dozens and scores of business enterprises are
trading upon the same lot of ground which
formerly gave unpretentious accommodation
to single shop or warehouse.
After time this line of growth will i'm
press strangers. Our own peopls are ac-
customed to it. It is evident Pittsburg is
rapidly becoming an interesting city from
an architectural as well as from an indus4
trial standpoint. Each handsome new edi-
fee starts others. The strikingly, impress
lively beautiful county buildings, by Rich
ardsOn, also have had happy influence.
They set copy in showing what was possi-
BILE. No longer, however, does the COart
House shine with the unaccompanied luster
of solitaire. It will se61 be no more than
the chief diamond ofS Numerous and at
tractive cluster which will ornament and
dignity this city Of marvellous material re-
sources.

THE CAR STOVES DESTINY,

The report that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has decided to try no further to find q
substitute for the car stove may be true, but
we hope and believe it is not The author.
ity for the statement which cotemporary
prints is anonymous, and this fact encour-
ages us to hope that the Pennsylvania's g
officers are not so blind to their own in.
terests and so careless of public safety as the
report would have US believe.
1t is said that the Pennsylvania Railroad
has spent seventy-fve thousand dollars
in experiments with steam car heaters. A
full test of various systems of heating, we
know, has been made by this railroad.
Now it is alleged that the car stove
has no. peer, and 1t is not to be
disturbed or supplanted. The prominent
railroad official who is quoted on the sub
iect, lightly indicates the dreadful suffer-
ings travellers endure where the cars are
heated by steam-suferings of which the
travellers, strange to say, never complain
and playfully winds up with the cheerful
chunk of truth that the car stove never hurt
anybody, anyhow This would be all right
from some railroad mems point of view
this weft Of polite iction-and if there were
no court of appeal to which the public could
apply we fear it would be all the comfort
the railroads would grudgingly grant
to the people But there is court of ap-
peal, the Legislature of the State. In other
States, notably New York, the Legislature
has abolished the car stove. The same thing
can be done here. 1t would be much better
for the railroads to do the work themselves
in their own way and with deliberation,
than have to make radical change at short
notice and possibly according to some par
ticular plan.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is managed
in such capable and enlightened fashion
that we believe that the stove will be hurled
from the cars before long. One thing is
certain the car stove has too bloody record
to be tolerated much longer. In plain
English, the car stove must be abolished.

TWELVE PAGES
WAIT FOR TIE PROOF.

The introduction of Senator Morgan's
resolution for the recognition and indorse-
ment of the Brazilian Republic afforded
topic for the display of much buncombe and
some sound sense. The former was Of course
the main purpose of the resolution; but it is
pleasant to note that political preeedents
were so far disregarded as to use the occa-
sion for little sensible talk.
We are glad to credit Senator Ingalls,
with having spoken the sensible words at
the fit season. The United States should of
course promptly extend its recognition and
friendship to a new American Republic
when the latter proves its right to the name.
But when military revolt ends in the over
throw of liberal monarch, whose rule has
been as nearly republican as it is possible
for moharchy to be, and when there are
many intimstions that the liberty of press
and people is restrained by the new Brazil
ian Government it is no more than wise to
wait till il proves itself to be a constitu-
tional and free Republic, before putting the
stamp Of Congressional approval upon it.
1t is ofcourse competent for the admins
tration to recognize the Brazilian Govern
ment as Government de facto. But it might
be embarrassing II, after we had formally
Endorsed it as Republic, it should turn out
70 be military dictatorship,

A NOVELTY IN THE IRON TRADE.

The statement which comes in our trade
reports of large purchases of American iron
on English account, is another indication of
the change which has taken place, whether
temporarily or permanently. in the relative
positions Of the American and English mar
kets. The natural suspicion arises that the
purchase Of 10, 900 tons of pig iron, reported
in our trade columns, is not intended for
actual export but is merely speculation on
an expected rise in the home market. That
theory, however, is less adequate to account
for the large purchase of wrought iron pipe
IS reported. There is a very decided boom in
English prices for iron, which may have pro-
duced this reversal of the usual order Of
things; but it would be indiscreet to place
any especial reliance On its permanent dura-
fion

RELIGIOUS LINEFEECEs.

The reported difference of opinion which
mas arisen, according to special dispatch
In this mornings issue. between the clergy
men of Bedford, as to the rights of one pas
tor to get up a revival without consulting
the views and predispositions of the others,
is about as singular development of the
theory of seetarian vested rights as can be
imagined.
1t is rather hard to believe that the posi-
Hon of the dissident clergymen is accurately
stated in the summary of the views attrib-
uted to them. That indicates an opinion
on their part that their right and title to
the religious care of their denominations is
ss exclusive as a title to land and has its
boundaries as closely defined; while the too
ardent exhorter who is carried away by his
enthusiasm to the saving of souls, without
regard to seetsrisn lines, is liable to be
summoned by & species of spiritual writ
gu9re cldusun fregit.
While we hardly credit the report that
Nstelligent and earnest men have seriously
RdCpted any such position, there seems to
be ground to advise the Bedford brethren to
dwell together in unity, and to let anyone
sxhort their focks to religion, on the gen.
sral principle that it cannot do any harm,
and may do some good.
