FRIDAY Oct. 19, 1S77 The people of Doglas county are considerably excited over the prospects of a railroad from Roseburg to Coos bay. On Tuesday last in the United .States district court, Judge Deady fixed the time for the trial of W. H. N. Stiles (now under indictment of per jury) on the 21st of November. The time for the trial of Win. B. Eigby, indicted for subornation of perjury, is fixed for the 23d of the same month. The opposition between the two steamship lines to San Francisco is becoming warmer and fare is still further reduced. "We learn that next Thursday passengers hence per steamer Ajax can obtain cabin tickets for 5 and steerage tickets for $2 50. The Pacific Steamship companies steamers will of course make a corres ponding reduction. If this com petition continues much longer people can travel for nothing. The Bee informs us that a repre sentative of the Portland, Salt Lake and South Pass railroad company is enroute for Washington city at the cost of the company, and as we arc in formed, as soon as his business affairs will admit of his absence from Oregon, Dr. J. C. Hawthorn, Preident of the company, will go to the national capital, there to represent the interests of the company. Mr. J. H. McCartney, engineer of the Blue Mountain and Columbia river railroad and a full corps of hands left La Grande last week, Thursday, for Umatilla landing, where he is to begin at once setting grade stakes on the road. The graders will soon fol low them. The directors are receiv ing bids for making and hauling ties for the first ten miles of the road, which it is their intention to have graded and tied by January 1st. This looks like business. Richard Boling, of St. Paul, Ind, was awakened by a burglar Friday night, who, armed with an ax, entered the house and demanded to be shown such financial deposits as the house might develop. Mr. Boling politely escorted the thief around the premises and finally pointed out a bureau sup posed to contain rich evidence of debt. The burglar instituted an investigaton and while at it Mr. Boling struck him over the head, killing him instantly, and then went back to bed, where he slept peacefully until morning, when lie communicated the details of the tragedy. The Holladay will suit is on trial in New York before Judge Van Yoost. It was brought in the name of Mr. Ben. Holladay's youngest daughter, Madame de Busierre, to recover her share of the property left by her moth er, Holladay's first wife, which will was set aside in favor of an earlier will leaving the same property to her husband. The latest will was claimed to have been made when the testator was of unsound mind. It is a well known fact that Madame De Busierre brought this with exceeding unwilling ness, being constrained thereto by her husband for whom her father has al ways manifested feelings of extreme dislike and contempt. There is little possibilit' for any judgment for the plaintiff in the suit. The Guard relates an incident which occured in Eugene city lately: "A tramp who appeared very feeble, and hobbled along leaning upon a cane, went to the residence of St. John Skinner. The doors were shut, but he was seen through the window be fore he came to the house. To dis cover whether he was as feeble as he pretended, St. John "ave a lare do - which was lying by the door, the word, and he started to interview the fellow, who dropped his stick and bundle and intde better time than Rye Straw's best, till he crane to a tall gate post, up which he went with the agility of a cat. When the dog was called of?, concluding that he had mistaken the house, he left without making his er rand known. :the kews. The Australian steamer arrived at San Francisco Wednesday morning with British mails two hours after de parture of the overland train. The mails were put on a special train with instructions to overtake the express train, and by making close connection at New York Wednesday with the Abyssinia for Liverpool it is expected to deliver the Sydney mails in London in 39 days. Near Oroville, (Cal.), on last Wed nesday night as five Chinamen from Laporte were entering Oroville in a wagon a man with a riile in his hands stopped them and demanded their money. The driver said he had no money, whereupon the man fired, killing a Chinaman who tumbled oil" the wagon to the ground. The horses started to run and the man continued firing at the Chinamen in the wagon. On the bod' of the dead Chinaman was 1,000 in money which the robber ob tained. The deed was committed a short distance above the bridge across Feather river and within half a mile of Oroville. According to a Russian official bulletin Mukhtar Pasha was decisive ly defeated Monday and the Turkish army utterly dcstrojred as a fighting body. On Sunday, the Russian divi sion turned Mukhtar's right, and on Monday, General Hcymann, with 10, 000 infantry, carried Olga Tepe, the key of the Turkish position, by as- sault, cutting the Turkish army in two. The centre and left wing, under Muk htar Pasha himself, retreated upon Kars, and succeeded in gaining the cover of the fortifications, after a fear ful rout, during which the Turks lost a great number of men in killed and wounded, several thousand prisoners and four guns. Three divisions, con stituting the Turkish right, had mean time been surrounded and attacked and driven from their fortified camp with a great loss. Finally, at 8 o'clock Monday night, a remnant of Mukhtar Pasha's army surrendered with thirty two guns and a great quantity of ma terial. Among the persons captured are seven pashas. Mukhtar Pasha is in Kars. The Russian loss is stated to be relatively slight. The Texas Pacific. In the course of our remarks yes terday concerning the re-election of Mr. Randall as speaker of the House, we stated that this was a railroad vic tory. We intended to say a Texas Pacific railroad victory. His success it was admitted previous to the elec tion would be a sign that the majority of the House favor the trans-continental railway enterprise of Colonel Thomas A. Scott. The south is sup posed to be a unit on this question. The Maryland democratic state con vention a few days ago, under the su pervision of Senator Whyte, adopted a resolution against government subsi dy of any kind to railways or for any other purpose. Scott's scheme asks the government to guarmitee the in terest on company bonds so that the company may be enabled to borrow the money needed at a low rate. The government is now floating a large loan at 4 per cent. Its 5 per cents are away above par. With the govern ment guaranteeing the interest the company could probably float its 5 per cent bonds at par; but without that backing it it would be difficult to sell compairy 5 per cents at 90 or even 80. The Central Pacific company had to sell ninny of their 6 per cents as low as GO, which accounts in part for the enormous cost of their road. If Col onel Scott can procure the endorse ment of his company bonds by the United States, he will be able to build and equip two miles of road at no greater cost in gold than the building and equipment of one mile of the Union or Central Pacific. The elec tion of Randall as speaker would indi cate that the house favors a compet ing line; his defeat, that the Ceni5-al Pacific forces had won a victory over Colonel Scott and his company. 32AKRZKR.
