VERNE'S PREDICTION.
Novelist Prophesied Recent Naptha
Fires of Caucasus Revolt.

PARIS, Nov. 3.-There has been a
good deal of talk about the marvellous
predictions of Jules Verne who in his
Michael Strogoff, Courier of the GAR
described the burning of the reser-
voirs of naptha in the Caucasus, the
river of fire, and even the revolt Of
the Tartars. These were not predic-
tions in the strict sense, but fore
casts and the strange thing is that
the novelist himself believed that
what he imagined and forecast would
come to pass in due course Of time.

shutting oil for coal as fuel on the
locomotives of the O.. r. & N. and
in Oregon and Washington place it at
$4,000, and it is understood that the
executive board Of the Hartman
system has authorized the expendi-
ture for the betterment of the SER
vice. 1t has been known for some
time that the Hartman lines in this
territory would adopt the liquid fuel,
not entirely because of it's cheapness,
but owing to the advantages from the
standpoint of cleanliness, says the
Portland Telegram.
The change will probably be warmly
welcomed by the passenger depart
ment, for it has been proved that with
the use of oil travelling is made more
comfortable, and it means less work
! for the men in the shops. To the fire.
men it is boon.
The reason railroads give for failure
to adopt oil earlier was the fear that
the supply might become exhausted or
fall off to such an extent that the
price would become prohibitive.
Ignorance Was Expensive.
| In the early experiments there was
but slight knowledge of the sub
stance as fuel, which resulted in the
speedy burning out of crownsheets.
| The use of oil on locomotives was in
troduced as early as 1885 on two To-
comotives on the Southern Pacific
system in California, which were
operated successfully with much the
same style of burners as are in use
now, but the fuel cost 81 a barrel,
and even at that price was regarded
more valuable for refining. So in view
of it's cost and the belief that the
supply was limited and would not
warrant the expense Of establishing
tanks along the line, the engines were
changed back to coal burners.
So much attention is given to oil
in the northwest by railroads that all
reports Of discoveries of the fluid in
anv of the districts are investigated.
While oil can be landed from Califor-
MIA points on a basis that makes
it decidedly cheaper to burn than coal,
it will still prove an expensive fuel
for the O. r. & n, owing to the ne
cessity of the long haul from Port
land to points of distribution in
eastern Oregon and Washington.
Will Employ Steamers and Barges.
Tank steamers will be employed to
carry the oil from the south, and it
will De pumped into two immense
tanks at Albina. To all tanks as far
as The Dalles it will be transported
in barges, but beyond that point tank
cars must be used.
1t is estimated that an expenditure
of $500 is necessary to alter each To-
connective. This includes also the cost
of the tank and installing it. The fuel
is being burned to advantage on
the line of the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad, and for two years was
the only fuel on the Columbia South
ern before the control Of that line
passed to the Hartman system; since
then it has been continued

IRVINE DROPS
TALBOT FIGHT
Deposed Rector Makes Statement in
Which He Abandons Charges.
GIVES HIS SIDE OF THE CASE

Philadelphia. Feb. /. = Announcing
that he has abandoned his fight for re-
instatement to the priesthood of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, Rev. DIR.
!. n. W. Irvine made what he calls a
complete statement of the real facts
in the case, at the same time offering
full forgiveness to Right Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, bishop of the diocese of
Central Pennsylvania, for any injury
the bishop may have done him.
DR.. Irvine declares he was not
charged with either "crime" or i'm
morality" in the presentment which
Bishop Talbot signed against him. and
he asserts that neither word was ut
tered by Bishop Talbots lawyers dur
ing the ecclesiastical trial of the de-
posed priest He says he was charged
with conduct unbecoming a minister
of this church." which has since
ceased to be an offense in the disci-
plinary canon. One of the specifica-
tions under this offense was that DR..
Irvine had circulated false reports re-
garding Mrs. Emma ID. Elliott, but the
DIR. Irvine claims he was deposed be-
cause he had offended Mrs. Elliott and
had not taken the blame of her ex-
communication on his own shoulders.
DR.. Irvine devotes considerable
space to the famous Upjohn letter
which resulted in his attempt to pre-
sent Bishop Talbot
hn twill al w
entered against Bishop Talbot, DIR.
Irvine says:
Bishop Talbot has twice evaded
the service of a summons H. this city.
If he were not guilty he never would
have run away, but would have court
ed an investigation to the finish. DR..
Irvine's only object has been to get
vindication.
Never have there been any more
sincere and heroic efforts made on the
part of any man to show the church
and the world that he has been falsely
accused and unjustly treated than by
the writer of this article" says DR..
Irvine.
Never has there been more deliber
ate lying, improper influence. intrigue,
as well as the vile use of money and
power. than have been called upon to
shield wrong-doing and to hide the
light from the public.
II do not know what else can be
done with Bishop Talbot, who has
brought such scandal on the church
and such sorrow to others but to for
give him." says DR.. Irvine, land |

walton offer him full and free pardon

some mechanism of the latter went
wrong. In order to adjust it Mr..

fiywheel was making 300 revolutions a
minute, and he was twirled around
with awful rapidity. Three of his ribs
were torn loose from the spine. an
ankle was broken and he was injured
internally and otherwise hurt
His son Paul, aged years, who had
often worked with his father about the
engine, appeared on the scene and
stopped the engine. To this the parent
owes his escape from death, but his
recovery is not expected. The little son
notified Edwin NJ. Pearson, a neigh
boring farmer, of the accident. and it
took him 20 minutes to extricate the
