The Collision on Observation-Disclosures
CoaI-fields.
An inquiry into the causes which led to
the freight-train collision at Sixteenth
street, Oakland, on Tuesday last, convinces
the Southern Pacific officials that the blame
rests entirely on the engineer of No. &C, the
Oregon train, which dashed into the Central
Pacific freight, which at the time of the
accident was standing on the main track,
and unprotected by danger signals from the
tower. Such signals had not been displayed
by the tOwerman for the good and simple
reason that the train was outside the block
system limit, and having no other means of
protection than that afforded by danger
signal displayed by the rear brakeman. Mr..
Fillmore says that the accounts of the wreck
were grossly exaggerated. Only two cars,
containing ice, were u estroyed, and
caboose slightly damaged. Instead Of $4,000,
the loss will not exceed $500.
G. 7. huntington was asked yesterday
concerning the report recently published in
an Oregon paper that he had secured inn
mense coal-felds in Washington County, Ore
gon, and in the vicinity of Pebble Creek
and generally known as the Nehalem coal
fields. The article also stated that Mr..
Huntington had made a deposit of $4,000 to
be used in developing the fields. He EN-
phatically denied that he had made any such
deposit OF purchase OF has any lQeh OF uOlNE
50 for the present. The time may come when
the Southern Pacific will extend its line
from Portland 10 Astoria via Hillsboro and
Nehalem Valley, said Mr.. Huntington, but
for the present the scheme could not be
thought Of.
The party of Burlington officials which
arrived here yesterday morning from the

Boston capitalists, and G. A. Morrison, con-
sulting engineer of the Burlington system,

Chairman of the Board of Directors, by
whose direction the President acts on this
system, G. w. Holdrege, General Manager
OF the lines west Of the Missouri River, and
Howard Elliott, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent are also among the party.
A few days ago circular was issued from
the Burlington Office to the effect that no
freight would be delivered from its line to
the Union Pacific at Council Bluffs or
Omaha. Under date of October 29th this
order has been counterm anded by another
circular, which states that the interchange

VIII make no change for the week. The
New California is drawing well with 1.-THE
Brass Monkey" and is engaged in prepara-
ton for The Stowaway'' to follow. with a
burglar as the leading feature.
1.-THE Magistrate is filling the Alcazar,
and has proved quite hit. All the MEM
bers of the company are on their mettle to
give full justice TO Pinero's comedy, and
certainly the success is beyond the most
sanguine expectations. After the first per-
formance-good as it was-additional re-
hearsal was had, and some few weak spots
strengthened. Tho reason why this extra
attention is given to the comedy may be
found in the fact that before its production
at the Alcazar there was disposition in
theatrical circles to pool-pooh the attempt
as many believed the company there was
not up to its requirements. The manage
ment have proved the contrary to be the
case, and are justly proud of the work of
their people, as we'll as pleased that the
piece has made such an impression.
Gilbert and Sullivan's fine old seasoned
''Mikado" is filling the Tivoli.
