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.
