English Cheapness.

The Boston Herald recently advanced
the astounding assertion that cost Of liv-
ing is two and half times as great in this
country as in England. The Boston Jour
nat has had the industry to look up the
letters TO the Herald of its London corre-
spondent, and finds in one of them a ref
utation of the ReTnLd'S assertion. when
will that egregious superstition about
English cheapness vanish?" asks the cor
respondent and proceeds:
American furniture is wanted in Lon
don. Bring it here and sell it at Ameri-
can prices. and you will undersen the
British dealers and carry away their trade
bodily. They cannot compete with you" /"
WHAT exclaims some fellow-coun-
tryman of ours, who is victim to the
musty superstition about British cheap
ness. But let the good man hold his
peace. Modern furniture is not only
much cheaper in the United States than
in England, it is better made. more artis-
tic in design and more suitable for the
purpose for which it is intended, and the
best of it is from one-half to one-uuarter
the price of ordinary English stuff. If

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The California
Oil Works, situated on the south corner
of Folsom and Main streets, was totally
destroyed by fire last evening and caused
a loss of about $4,000 worth of property
G. & f. Pennington & Sons steel works
at 220 Folsom street were damaged to the
extent of about $1,000, and lumber be-
longing to Hobbs. Wall & Co.'S box fac
tory was also badly damaged.
The fire was caused by the explosion of
an oil tank in the southwest corner of the
oil works. What the causes of the COM
bustion were is not definitely known.
Captain White, of the Fire Patrol, says
that from information which he has been
able to gather he is of the opinion that the
foreman used an open light to examine
the Oil tank while it was being filed and
that the explosion resulted.
Henry G. Beslov, the foreman, says he
was several feet distant when the accident
occurred, and was busily engaged at the
time cleaning an oil press with the assist
ance of a Chinaman. There were an en-
gineer and and three other white men and
two Chinese at work in the oil works be-

that no lives were lost.

burned to death. She stated that her hus-
band had started for work as usual Satur-
day evening, and had not returned, and
as she could not understand what had
kept him here after the building was
burned down, she came to investigate.
She was told that no lives had been lost,
and that her husband, who might have
stayed at the fire until after the midnight
boat had gone, would probably be found
when she got back home.
Daniel Cotton, manager and principal
owner OF the oil works, declares that no
life was lost. He claims to have seen all
his workmen since the fire. The firemen
and police are likewise positive that
nobody was in the burning building.

Strange Phenomenon Near the Town
of Guthrie, Oklahoma Territory.
GUTHRIE %. IT,, October 23.-The peo-
pie of saltwater are greatly mystified
over remarkable natural phenomenon
near that town. In the field of Robert
Copper, south of that place, stands a
large cottonwood tree, its branches lean
ing out over the bed of little creek. A
few weeks ago party of picnickers
stopped under the tree and were startled
by finding there was continual shower
of water falling from its leaves and
branches. 1t is in the shape of a fine
mist or drizzle, but it can be plainly felt
and seen at all times.
Although it has not rained in that part
of the Territory for weeks, the fall of
water from this tree has kept up con-
tinually, and crowds of people come
from distance every day to view it.
Those scientifically inclined speculate,
,theorize and give it up. The supersti-
tious ones shake their heads ominously,
but the tree keeps right on sending down
its shower, and whenever the sun is
shining beautiful rainbow can be seen
under its branches

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The HeraId'S Val
paraiso correspondent says: News comes
from Buenos Ayres that Governor Rojas
of Santiago del Estero is still in prison,
and the revolutionists are practically in
control OF the State.
The National Cabinet discussed the sit
uation in Santiago del Estero, and there
was division as to the proper course to
pursue. The majority favored federal in
tervention, and finance Minister Ro-
nero resigned. and the Executive was
asked for the National Congress to inter-
vene, and it was granted. The Governors
of all the provinces were called upon to
have the National Guard ready for serv-
ice. 1t is probable that Congress will
appoint commission to inquire into the
state OF affairs in the province.
Prominent Rojiatos have arrived here
and held conferences with General R0ca.
The situation in the Province is grave,
and there is liable to be serious trouble
before it is settled.
The HerGtl can say authoritively that
the Chilean Government, as token of its
desire TO renew good feeling and friend
ship with the United States, will send the
cruiser Captain Pratt from France to
represent her in the naval demonstration

The Senator Makes an Eloquent Speech
Before a Large Audience.
REDDING, Oct. Ex-senator Frank Nc
Gowan made an eloquent political ad-
dress here tonight 20 500 people. f. P.
Prim called the meeting to order and F.
w. Smith was elected Chairman, who in
troduced the speaker with few remarks.
Senator MCGOWAN held his audience for
nearly two hours, and the many good
points in his argument were aptly illus
trated by humorous sketches which kept
his audience in good humor.
Starting out with the principle that the
will of the majority should prevail. he
soon entered upon a review of the prin-
ciples Of the Republican party as adopted
In its platform. He declared that the
policy therein contained was an affirma-
tive policy, and contrasted it with the
Democratic platform, which declared a
protective tariff to be unconstitutional;
that that platform was a carping, critical
TRADE against Republican rule. He SAID
that the Democratic party had departed
from the principles of its great leaders,
jefferson, Jackson, Madison and others.
and had made platform in conformity
with the free-trade principles of Calhoun
and the Southern Confederacy.
He declared for the Republican policy
of honest currency, for free ballot and
fair count. He made a concise explana-
ton of the benefits of the tariff, reviewed
that of Cleveland. He gave a review of
Cleveland's record as Governor, showing
that he was an aristocrat and opposed to
labor. In a word, MCGOWAN made an
eloquent, telling speech, and special ap-
peal for L. w. Davis and the ticket.

May Discontinue Its Relations With
the Panama RaIlroad.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, after February
next, will discontinue its relations with
the Panama Railroad for transferring its
traffic across the isthmus.
The two companies have had falling
out and cannot agree on a new contract.
The steamship company will find new
interoceanic route, and the Indications
are that it has already reached decision.
Parties connected with the Pacific Mail
Company are taking an active part in the
new 1nteroceanic railroad in Honduras.
or rather in the revival Of a charter that
was obtained twenty Years ago.
w. 5. Scott, who is a stochhOIder in the
Paclhc Mail Company, has acquired,
jointly with the Valentine brothers, tho
tifty-seven miles of road already built
under the original charter.
I Edward Lauterbach, counsel for the
! Pacific Mail Company, is acting for the
parties interested in the Honduras rail-
road in freeing the charter from the clouds
that seem to threaten it. on account of
$3O,OO0,O0 of bonds issued by the Govern
ment for this and other extensive inn
prOVementS.
President J. B. Houston of the Pacific
Mail Company looks favorably upon the
new railroad Scneme, and he told them
that if the title could be cleared up there
was possibility that the Pacific Mail
Company would make connections with
it tor San Francisco.
&. p. Huntington, who is a prominent
stock of the steamship COMPANY.
said before leaving for San Francisco that
he thought the new railroad in Honduras
was good enterprise. The indications
are that he may take an interest in it in
case the Pacific Mail Company decides 10
use that line for its traffic across the isth-
mus.
1t is estimated that the Honduras road
would cost about S4,000,000 to finish and
would be about 200 miles long. The route
as originally mapped out extends from
4 Puerto Cortez, on the Gulf of Mexico. to
the Gulf of Fonseca, on the Pacific Ocean.
1t is completed from Puerto CorteZ to San
Pedro. 1t is calculated that the local traf-
fic, when developed, would more than
pay for the operation of the road, and it
would certainly be a great boon to the
country.
President Houston said: 81 don't imag-
inc that it will be very difficult to get an
other route. We have had several offered
us. The Honduras road is one of them,
but it will take some time TO build it. and
of course we will he out in the mean
time. The Gulf of Fonseca, on the south
ern coast. is the best harhor on the Pa
cific Coast outside of San Francisco. We
send ships there now, and | see no rea-
son why that wouldn't be as good a route
as the Panama railroad"
MIR. Houston did not care to say how
far the prrties connected with the Pacific
Mail Company were interested in the
Honduras road.

SPRINGFIELD tMass.), Oct. 3.-The gos-
pei of truth was presented at the point of
a sword, and also with red fire and re-
volvers, at the Ohvet Congregational
Church to-day. Charles NJ. Emmons, a
gun maker, employed at the United
States Armory, whose mind is unsound
upon religious matters, bought large
supply of rockets, red fire. Roman can
dies, pin-wheels and powder Saturday
afternoon. and at midnight took them
with him to church. After entering the
church the mailman arrayed himself in
dust clothes, covering his face and hang
ing the big red book-mark of the pulpit
Bible from a string around his belt.
When the sexton arrived to start the
morning fires he was confronted by the
enshrouded apparition in the pulpit.
Brandishing a revolver, Emmons bade
the sexton listen to the truth. The seq
ton hastily retreated, but not before the
lunatic fired three shots into the air. The
officers of the church and police were
speedily summoned, but for more than
three hours Emmons stood his ground.
During this time the madman read from

All Around.
At time during the Civil War when it
looked dark for the Union, Governor Nor
ton urged Harrison to assist in raising
troops, saying that, as Harrison bad just
been elected Reporter of the Supreme
Court he would find some one else to take
command. The Presidents reply shows
the splendid character of the man: "If I
make speeches and ask men to go pur-
pose to go with them" VERY well, :" the
Governor said; ''if you want to go you
can command the regiment"
He raised the regiment, and, as its
Colonel, went with it into camp at Bowl
ing Green, Ky. Colonel Harrison was a
disciplinarian, yet he required of his men
no hardship he was not willing to share
with them. Although, at first, there was
some grumbling over the hard duties of
army life, yet finally the regiment took
as much pride and interest in the thor
ough drill to which they were subjected
as the Colonel himself. In its moral as
poets he attempted to make the camp
counterpart of home. Though strict,
Colonel Harrison was never harsh. His
men loved and honcred him. His SYM
pathy with the sick and dying was deep
and sincere. He was courageous, No
danger made him finch. His regiment
shared his courage and made for itself
lasting fame. As part of the Twentieth
Army Corps ii fought in Shermau's vic
torious campaign against General Joseph
Johnston.
During this campaign Colonel Harrison
frequently distinguished himself by his
quick, courageous action. At Peach Tree
Greek, Ca, July 20, 1864, he saved the
day. General Hooker, in a report recon-
mending Colonel Harrison for promo
ton, said: my attention was first at
tracted to this young officer by the supe-
rior excellence of his brigade in disci-
pline and instruction, the result of his
labor, skill and devotion. In all the
achievements of the Twentieth Corps in
that campaign Colonel Harrison bore
conspicuous part. At Resaca and Peach
Tree Creek the conduct of himself and
command was especially distinguished"
He shared in the battle of Nashville as
commander of temporary brigade. In
June, 1868, he received his discharge,
after having been breveted Brigadier-
General.
