A VAST COMBINE.

jersey City, n. j., Sept. 12.-Rumors
of a vast combine of railroad, telegraph
and trolley interests were put in cireu-
lation here this afternoon. 1t is stated
that Pielident A. J. Casa of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad and Edwin

in the past ten days at Bar Harbor to-
gether, have reached an understanding
whereby the bitter fight between the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Gould
interests has been declared of, and Il
combine of Gould-Cassatt interests Ell
fected. The new combination, it is said,
including merger of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable Company and the
Western Union Telegraph Company, the
purchase of all the trolley lines between
New York and Philadelphia and the
reinstatement of the Western Union
service Oh the lines Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. A conference will be held at
Newark, tomorrow, it is said, to close the
negotiations of the New Jersey trolley
merger. This Rumor will, of course, be
denied. but well informed financiers
here claim to have inside information as
70 its truthfulness. Is seems certain
that the fight between the Goulds and
The Pennsylvania Railroad is at and end.
The extent of the alliance between these
treat interests is said to be immense.

Tur DETERMINATION to open the

THE DETERMINATION to open the
Congressional Library in Washington to
the public on Sundays is movement IN
the right direction, and will probably be
followed sooner or later by the open ng
Of all public buildings in that city.
There never has been any good reason
urged why the great mass OF the popuia-
ton ofthe national capital as well as that
ofnear-by places should be debarred from
the benefits of such institutions, as has
been the case for nearly century. The
toiling thousands, who have no time but
Sunday to examine books, study works
of art, mechanism, anatomy or relics OF
other ages, are often driven on excur-
sions or into beer gardens On that day
for the reason that every place OF inter-
est is closed to them. For many years
it was regarded rs the objectionable sill
to allow the British Art Gallery in Lon
don to be opened on Sunday. The city
is now ruled more on principles of COM
mon sense. and visitors to that city will
see workingmen with their wives and
children studying the vast collection on
exhibition there Until about quarter
of a century ago the Louvre Musee in
Paris, probably one of the most inter
esting institutions in the world, was
closed on the only day in the week
mechanics and other workingmen could
have examined the vast collections OF art,
statuarv. &c. The Parisians about that
time concluded to open the institution
on Sunday and the result was as ex-
pected, thousand, of people who never
had the opportunity before availed them
selves of the chance to study the inter-
esting collection from every part OF the
world now exhibited at the Louvre.
Washington will eventually realize that
when people are in Libraries and
museums they are not in worse places

THE MINERS STRIKE.

Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. l2.-The strike
is as far from a settlement today as 1t
was the first day it started Recognition
of the unions demands for arbitration,
declare the labor leaders, is the only
agency by which this struggle can be
settled before April next. That a break
is to be made soon by The Independent
operators was proven this morning,
when orders were issued to the effect
that the Sharp Mountain colliery will
resume operations on Monday. Whether
it will open up independently of the un-
ions demands or grant concession could
not he learned. This morning several adj
ditions were made to the non-strikers'
ranks in this valley, most of them be-
ing made at Summit Hill. The Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company yesterday
shipped nearly /, 800 tons of coal from
its colleries. The non-unon men went
to work this morning unnoticed by the
strikers.
Chicago, Sept 12.-Thursday was
reconciliation day. among the labor
unions. Three strikes were settled
during the afternoon, and arrangements
made for conference this afternoon,
which it is thought, will end Il fourth,
the Swift Company's teams;er difficulty.

FLAMES SWEEP OIL FIELD.

Beaumont Texas, Sept. 12.-Soon
after midnight fire IN some way crept
through the strongly protected oil wells
of Beaumont and started blaze which
will undoubtedly prove most disastrous
TO the wells, tank houses and improve
ments of Spindle Top. The alarm was
given and the whole town responded
only to sec repetition of the disastrous
fire of few weeks ago. With no avail
able meaus to fight the lire, it fed on
lakes of oil, tanks of oil, OIL saturated
TIMBER. and rapidly spread from one
tank to another until it seemed that the
wEae oil district was ablaze. The fire
originated from lighted lantern car
ried oy night Waterman. a big
tank on the Keith-Ward tract on Spindle
Top heights exploded soon after the hire
started and all the improvements were
literally devastated. Large tanks con-
tinued to explode. The exact damage
and results cannot now be estimate q but
the losses will be enormous. The ex-
plosions stampeded the inhabitants to
the hills. Two persons have so for been
injured. The indications now are that
the entire field will be total loss The
fire department of Beaumont was loaded
on cars and carried to the burning
fields. but was unable to control the
fire. When the flames reached the
Higgins Companys tank No. 2 the top
blow off and the burning oil ran vef tie
ground sea of flame, spreading to other
improvements. There is no way OF
estimating the loss already sustained but
conservatives estimate place it at one
million dollars. The greatest excite
ment prevails. Women and children
ran pell nell through the streets half
crazed. The fire is still burning briskly.
Thousands of willing hands have
thrown up a great dyke surrounding the
fire district, and it is believed that its
spread to more than 400 contiguous wells
and hundreds of filled tanks will be cir
cumventcd Red flames are leaplns
heavenward far above the tops of the
derricks. The sight is grand and most
awe inspiring. Thousands of people
surround the fire and the heat for blocks
away is terrific. The scene of the fire Is
about five miles from Beaumont.

4 LOCOMOTIVE COMBAT.-Seventy-
five thousand persons went to the Wis
consin State Fair at Milwaukee, yes
terday, to see two locomotives
meet each other in \ duel. The
State Board of Agriculture had
constructed a special railway track
a thousand feet long in tne field within
the race course. The center of this track
was directly opposite the center of the
amphitheater. The engines chosen for
the battle were Of the regulation pattern
of ten years ago. At each end of the
special track was a painting locomotive,
seemingly eager for The fray. There
was great excitement when the engine
drivers mounted their cabs, threw wide
open the throttles and jumped off in a
hurry Almost in the center Of the field
the locomotives came together. The
duelists lifted their bulks nearly up
right and went at each other as do
wrestlers. Battered and broken, snarl-
ing and Kissing, a cloud of steam en-
veloping their shapeless masses, the
duelists clasped each other in an iron
embrace, and the crowd called it draw.

LOWENBACK ACQUITTED.

1t took the Leesburg jury exactly nine
minutes yesterday to consider the case
of Charles Lowenback, charged with
implication in lynching the negro Craven,
and to bring in verdict of acquittal.
The case was submitted TO them at >
O clock yesterday afternoon without
argument. The evidence presented was
practically the same as that placed before
the grand jury that returned the indict-
ment, although in some particulars 1t
was not so directly to the point When
the case was resumed yesterday morning
the Commonwealth called fifteen wit
nesses to the stand, and after their ex
animation closed its case at noon. The
defense began with the opening of the
afternoon session. The defendant, Low
enback, was placed on the stand and
presented his version of the affair, deny
ing criminal implication. In reply to
interrogatives of counsel he stated that
when the negro was taken from the Jail
he was near him, so near him, in fact,
that Craven, who knew Lowenback well,
appealed to him for protection and ask
ed him to deliver message to relative.
This statement was substantiated by only
one other witness. Some twenty wit
nesses were called by the defense, and
at 1870 p. H., by agreement, the case
was submitted, after instructions by the
court, to the jury without argument.
The trial of Scott Bradley, indicted at
the same time upon similar charge,
will follow.
