In the case of the American Loan &
Trust Company vs. the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company, in which Mr.
McNeill was appointed receiver of the
Oregon Railway &. Navigation Company,
two petitions were lately set down for
hearing about the middle of this month.
One is in regard to the discharge of the
present receivers of the Oregon Short Line
& Utah Northern Railway and the ap
pointment of a separate receiver. The
other is for an order modifying the origi
nal order appointing Mr. McNeill receiver,
in regard to the provision included in it,
requiring Receiver McNeill to pay the ex
penses of operating the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company for six months
prior to his appointment. This provision
is now found to mean that the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company must
pay some 'G00.000 of the claims incurred
by the Union Pacific during the time it
secured the revenues of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation property and did not
pay the bills incurred for its operation.
As General Attorney Thurston, of the
Union Pacific, and distinguished Eastern
counsel are coming out here to argue
these cases, and as they will not be able
to get here before the last of the month,
both cases are to he continued till Janu
ary 30.
To Get Laborer' Pay.
Joe Day yesterday sued N. J. Blagen,
assignee for E. S. Larsen, to recover
$9G 33, laborers' wages. Just prior to his
failure, Larsen took a contract from
Clinton & McCoy, to build an Irrigation
ditch, on which was employed a large
force of men. Day being one of them. M.
J. MacMahon, counsel for Day, states
that he brings the present case io test
the laborers' and employers act passed
by the last legislature. This law estab
lishes a priority for claims for wages over
other creditors' dues. There are 120 other
wage-claims besides that of Day, and, if
successful in the Day suit, the attorney
will proceed with the others, but will
doubtless bunch them. Judge Stearns
has these same laborers claims before
him as part of the general assignment
proceedings of E. S. Larsen, and some
time ago effort was made to have him
enforce the payment of them by the
assignee. The court held that, accord
ing to the assignment law, no action
could then be taken, for the payment of
the labor claims. Stipulated time re
quired by the statute had not elapsed.
But, to facilitate matters and assist the
laborers in getting theirmoney morespeed
lly, his honor suggested that the claims
be prosecuted under the new laborers'
law.
Damape Case Transferred.
The case of Charles Scott, administra
tor of the estate of Jungira Misawa, a
Japanese, vs. the Portland Consolidated
Street Railway Company, was yesterday
transferred from Judge Hurley's court
to Judge Shattuck's court, for trial.
Jungira Misawa was killed at Second and
Burnsitle streets by a car of the Second
street line. Scott, as administrator, sued
for 5TO00 damages, and the trial before
Judge Hurley, last February, resulted In
a verdict by the jury, for plaintiff for $125.
The court granted a new trial of the case,
which was set for yesterday. All of the
parties Interested yesterday appeared be
fore Judge Hurley, and, by general con
sent. It was argued that the case go be
fore Judge Shattuck without jury, on the
evidence adduced at the former trial of
the case. After reviewing this evidence,
Judge Shattuck will assess damages, or
otherwise, according to his best judgment.

PURE WATER AT HAND.
Great Volume Tlmt Pours Down From '
Bull Run.
The water supplied to the city from
Bull Run, since January 1, has met with
general approval, and the service has
been most satisfactory. The pure crystal
fluid is especially appreciated at this
time, when the Willamette is running
muddy and is contaminated with the
washings of the whole valley and the
sewerage of all the towns along Its banks.
Notwithstanding predictions that the
pipe would never bring in enough water
to supply the city, there are 12,000,000
gallons in reservoir No. 4. The flow was
measured a day or two since, when the
water was turned on at full head. It was
found that the pipe discharged in Port
land 23,850,000 gallons in 24 hours. This
Is about a million gallons more than was
shown by the first test, when the air
valves on the summits had hardly yet
got in working order.
Telephone connection with the head
works was restored several days since,
and the flow through the pipe has been
reduced to 17,000,000 gallons per day. Dur
ing the cold snap, when many persons
leave faucets partly open at night, the
city is using and wasting 16,000,000 gallons
per day. The works are being operated
most successfully. Owing to the ground
being covered with snow, it has not been
practicable to find the covers over the
blow-off valves, and occasionally a per
son complains that the water is not
clear. This is caused by the mud in the
pipes being stirred up by greater pressure
at some point. As soon as the snow goes
off, the "blow-offs" at the extreme ends
of the distribution system trill be opened
and the pipes be given a thorough sluic
ing, which will prevent any recurrence of
riled water in the future. Bull Run, hav
ing a clean, rocky bottom, and no cul
tivated land along its banks, never runs
muddy like the Willamette, and the
water is the purest and sweetest that can
be found.
Engineer Smith has dispensed with the
services of all employes possible, and
figures that the expense of supplying the
city with water through the new works
will be $30,000 less per year than it cost
for pumping. An engineer will be kept
at the Lincoln-street reservoir, and one
from Palatine Hill at the City Park, so
that an eglneer may always be available
In case it should be necessary for any
reason to start up the pumps. A watch
man will also be kept at Palatine Hill, to
prevent any such wholesale pilfering as
occurred when the old company aban
doned the old pumping station, and brass
work, which cost about $3000, was carried
off by boys.
The cost of pumping water would have
kept increasing as the city grew, but,
under the present system, further reduc
tions of expenses can be made, when
everything has been tested and is in
complete order. It has been found by
experiment that when the flow of water
into the pipe is increased at the head
works, the effects of the increase are felt
here in about 20 minutes, and a decrease
in the flow makes itself perceptible here
in 23 minutes
The purity and softness of the water
of Bull Run was ascertained by analysis
made by order of the committee, several
years ago, before the works were com
menced. The report was published in
these columns, and showed that the
water was free from deleterious organic
matter, and ranked with the best on
record as being excellently adapted for
family use. These recommendations are
indorsed by the public, and physicians
say that the Introduction of this pure
water is one of the greatest boons ever
conferred upon the city, and has a very
beneficial effect on the general health of
the city.

Matter.

A PAULIST CHURCH.
A Pcrmnncnt Mission to Be Founded
nt San Francisco.
NEW YORK. Jan. S. The Paulist com
munity, which has a church and convent
in this city, is about to found a branch of
the congregation in San Francisco. The
Rev. Edward Brady and two of the
fathers took possession'of a parish In that
city last month, at the request of Arch
bishop Riordan. It is the first attempt of
the Paulists to form a permanent mission
outside of New York. The congregation
is of American origin, and has been in ex
istence not more than 30 years. Its found
er was a noted American. Isaac Hecker,
who had some radical Ideas as to church
work in this country, and did much to put
them into practice. He believed in preach
ing the gospel to all classes, and not ex
clusively to his own followers. He be
lieved also in making use of the press to
any extent. As a result of his theories
the Paulists now have a printing estab
lishment In connection with their church,
and one of their fathers devotes his whole
time to lecturing to mixed congregations
in the West. The novitiate was removed
to the vicinity of the Catholic university
of Washington, that the novices might
have the benefit of a thorough training
in modern science. The community now
numbers 50 men novices and fathers.
As the number increases, new houses will
be founded in the leading cities of the
country.

Worth. Nearly a. Quarter Million Dol
lar Privacy in the Home As
sured The "Wonderful Penn
sylvania Limited.
The art of railroading, for it surely Is an
art, has practically been reduced to a
science also, and nowhere is that science
so closely studied and its successful work
ings so clearly manifest as on the Penn
sylvania lines. This vast system puts the
Northwest and West in touch with the
East and South. Its steel rails connect
Chicago the natural gateway with Pitts
burg, HarrlsbuTg, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Philadelphia and New York, on the
East, and with Indianapolis, Louisville,
Dayton, Springfield, Columbus and Cin
cinnati on the South. Their Importance
as the principal avenues of travel between
the most populous portions of the country
demands careful attention to details in
management and operation, hence im
provements in the various branches of
railroading as a rule make their initial ap
pearance on these lines.
The first vestibuled train In service was
run over them between New York and
Chicago. In the natural order of im
provement it has undergone changes and
Is now the world-famous Pennsylvania
Limited. This train represents the acme
of the car-building art, and is in conson
ance with the well-known policy of the
Pennsylvania management to excel In
everything. It is a wonderful exposition
of the remarkable advancement that char
acterizes railway transportation facilities
Observation Car.
THE PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED,
of the present day. This train represents
an investment of over two hundred thou
sand dollars and it can be readily imagined
that its magnificence is grand to the ex
treme. The Pennsylvania Limited is usually
composed of six cars with perfected vesti
bule attachments enclosing them into
practically one elongated car having a
series of apartments. The perfected ves
tibules are an improvement over the old
style, as the floor projects out over the
steps, making a wider passage, and the
beveled plate glass extends all the way
down to the floor. Pullman smoking, li
brary, dining, sleeping and observation
cars make up this series of compartments.
In this whirling palace, perfection in
travel is exemplified in its highest degree.
The interiors are finished in most excel
lent style. The upholstery, handsome
decorations, delicate tracery In highly pol
ished hardwood finish, burnished brass
chandelier electric light fixtures, give a
fascinating effect to the surroundings.
This delightful ensemble is not for tiie
eye alone, but is' adapted to the requile
ments of travel. The cosy smoking com
partments with their comfortable arm
chairs and divans, are pleasant retreats
for smokers. Meals served in the dining
car constitute menus that outrival the
culinary productions of noted caterers.
The service includes the finest china, cut
glass and silverware. In the library-car,
with its convenient bookcases, tables and
desks, are interesting books, magazines
and the dally papers. The sleeping-cars,
Dining Car.
THE PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED1,
with their rich curtains and beautiful
rugs, are well arranged for the comfort
of their occupants during the daytime, and
at night the roomy berths invite to rest
ful slumber. The observation-car brings
up the rear of the train and has a large
portico, protected by polished brass rail
ings, free from any obstruction to the
sight. From this enclosure, which com
fortably seats 16 persons, may be viewed
the dissolving scenery.
The recent addition of compartment cars
to the equipment of this train is in har
mony with Its completeness. In design
and finish they are the finest cars con
structed to date. Their arrangement into
drawing-rooms and staterooms affords the
privacy of home or of a hotel room.
Women traveling alone, or with children,
as well as invalids, will find all desired
seclusion in these cars. Each compart
ment is supplied with individual lava
tories, and is fitted up in luxury.
Distinctive features of the Pennsyl
vania Limited include a barber-shop,
where one may be safely shaved by a deft
Library and Smoking Car.

barber while the train Is going a mile a
minute; and an experienced waiting maid
whose especial care is the comfort of
ladies and children. There are also bath
rooms for both sexes. Stock reports are
bulletined on the train so that one may
trade as he travels, an expert stenograph
er and typewriter being at his command
for the conduct of correspondence. His
services and those of the waiting maid are
given gratis.

to the finest brands of champagne.
Leaving Chicago Union Station daily at
530 P. M., the palatable dinner served on
the Pennsylvania Limited is scarcely over
when the train rolls Into Fort Wayne,
having made the run of 14S miles to that
city without a stop. The train is far into
the state of Ohio before the hour marks
the customary retiring time. Pittsburg is
reached at 6:00 A. M., and passengers des
tined for points beyond the iron city
who are not early risers, awake to find
Drawing-Room, Compartment Car.
THE PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED,
that beehive of Industry has been passed
while they were sleeping. The ever
changing romantic scenery of the Alle
gheny mountains forms a pleasing pano
rama on arising, and after the morning
meal, the grandeur of the famous Horse
Shoe Curve followed by picturesque views
of the Blue Juniata and rich pastoral
scenes of Eastern Pennsylvania may be
enjoyed from the flying observatory. Har
risburg is reached in the early after
noon; Philadelphia at 4 o'clock, and New
York at 6:30 P. M. The buffet parlcr-car
carrying the Limited's passengers from
Harrisburg reaches Baltimore a"t 4:20 P.
M., and Washington at 5:13 P. M.
During the 24 hours consumed in making
the run from Chicago to New York, pas
sengers on this train have at their com
mand all the comforts of hotel, club or
home. Courteous attendants cheerfully
lend every effort to make the journey one
of enjoyment. The luxurious ease m
which the trip may be made on the Penn
sylvania Limited compels a thought of
what the future will bring forth. It cer
tainly will be a long time before the
elaborate manner In which the require
ments of travel are met by this train will
be eclipsed.
The luxury In which a trip over the
Pennsylvania lines may be made is fit
tingly supplemented by every desired con
venience for shaping details of a jour
ney. In addition to the Pennsylvania
Limited, other well-equipped passenger
trains run over these lines from Chicago
to New York and intermediate points.

A STEAMER'S RECORD
WHAT THE TELEPHONE ACC03I
PLISHED THE PAST YEAH.
Thousand of allies Without a Mis
liap The Elder Still Aground
Other Marine Xevrs.
During the year 1894, the steamer Tele
phone, owned by the Columbia River &
Puget Sound Navigation Company, of
which Captain U. B. Scott is president,
made 312 round trips between Portland(
and Astoria. The distance from Portland
to Astoria by the ship's channel is 100
miles, but, counting the distance run and
landings made on both sides of the Colum
bia river, crossing and recrossing, the dis
tance covered is 105 miles, each way, or
210 miles for the round trip. This makes
65,520 miles covered by the boat. For 50
trips made during the seaside travel from
Astoria to Young's bay, and return, eight
miles, there is an additional 400 miles, or
G3.920 miles run during the year.
Only one trip was missed, January 12,
when the Telephone laid over in Astoria
until next day on account of a heavy
storm. Total landings made during the
year were 12,731. Ten months in the year
the boat laid up Sunday in Portland", and
two months, during the seaside season,
she laid over in Astoria Saturday night
and Sunday, and came up Sunday night.
The Telephone carried the "United States
mail for the Union Pacific railroad from
January 1 to July 15. There was a large
number of people carried, and a good
many tons of freight, without any acci
dent or loss. The officers of the Tele
phoneCaptain T. H. Crang, Pilot "W. E.
Larkins, Engineer C. W. Evans, Purser C.
R. Donohue, Freight Clerk E. B. Scott and
Steward A. R. aicGillis are proud of
this record. With the exception of the en
gineer, they have never been sick a day
or lost a meal.

spent three days endeavoring to get out
to Tillamook rock with supplies. The
Columbine went down to the mouth of
the river, but found it would be impos
sible to make a landing on the rock, the
seas were so high. After Captain Faren
holt came away, the Columbine managed
to land some stores on the rock, but was
unabie to make a "landing" at the light
ship, on account of the fearful seas run
ning, notwithstanding an off-shore gale
was blowing. The Columbine was to en
deavor to land some building material at
the rock yesterday, and if she succeeded,
will come up to Portland after a lot of
sinkers for buoys.
The Manzanita, which was sent round
to the Sound to straighten out the buoyage
there, has not been able to do much yet
on account of snow storms and prevailing
gales. Captain Farenholt has received
word that the Umpqua lighthouse was put
in operation December 31, and that every
thing worked satisfactorily.

The Elder's Mishap.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany is having a hard time getting the
steamer George W. Elder out of the mud
at the foot of Swan island, where she
stuck on her way up the river Monday.
The steamer is by no means in a danger

be attached to releasing- her. Nearly all
her cargo of coal has been lightered, and
several strong steamers of the company
will try to pull her Into the channel today.
The river is falling at the rate of nearly
a foot a day, and whatever Is done in the
way of getting the vessel out of her scrape

FREIGHT TARIFF CHANGES.
Recent Alterations in the Western
Classification.
Under the Western classification, which
applies to all lines west of Chicago, in the
issue of January 1, 1895. many important
changes have been made. Some agricul
tural implements, which heretofore have
been rated as third-class, less than car
loads, were advanced to second-class, as
well as stoves, but these rates, how
ever, were subsequently restored to the
old basis, and stand today with no change
from the rates which existed prior to
January 1. On July 1, it is anticipated
these articles will be advanced to the
basis of second-class.
An important rule adopted by the com
mittee provides that minimum weights
on all freight In car lots, classified as
third-class and higher, shall be 20,000
pounds, and on freight classified in car
lots fourth-class and lower, 24,000 pounds,
unless otherwise specified. Prior to Janu
ary 1, the established minimum weight
for car lots was 20,000 pounds on all
freight, except in cases of light and bulky
articles. Many other minor changes were
made.
