When it was brought up, the reading of tho re port consumed nearly an hour, and then Mr. Paysonof Illinois explained the pro visions of the bill. The measure, he said, was unanimously endorsed by the committee on public lands. It involved 1,130,800 acres of public lands. The claim made to a portion of them was made solely by the Oregon Central Bail road company, and no other corporation was interested iu it. On the part of th. t corporation there was neither a legal nor an equitable claim to a single acre of the land involved. In reply to a question by Mr. iforr, of Michigan, Mr. Payson sta'ted that twenty-live miles of the road had been com pleted, but that the bill provided that all the land should be forfeited, because the company by its failure to complete the entire line within the time limited by the granting act had no just claim to a sin gle acre. Mr. Horr further inquired whether congress had the moral right to declare forfeited the land along those twenty five miles. ' Mr. Payson replied that that was a question which every member must de termine for himself, but that it had the legal and equitable tight to do so vis it proposition which he had never heard disputed except by railroad attorneys. He also explained that the bill validated the title of settlers who purchased land from the company, but did not grant re lief to the holders of the bond which bad been issued on the land grant. Mr. George, of Oregon, criticised the bill for the loose manner in which it was drawn, declaring that its effect would be to forfeit the earned part of the grant and to forfeit the unearned part. Was there ever a measure equal to that? Mr. Kowell, of Illinois, opposed the forfeiting of the earned portion of the grant, contending that it would open up a series of law suits that would be a blight on the settlement of that part of the country for years to come. Without final "action the matter went over. Railroad Disaster.!?" The west-side train, due here at 3ii0 p. M., met with a disaster about one mile north of Cornelius yesterday afternoon and did not arrive here until 5:15. The engine struck a cow with the result of completely demolishing four cars. The train bound for McMinnville arrived at the scene of disaster and took the pas senger and baggage oars, four in num ber, back to this city, the train that sus tained tho injury returning with the formerJs passengers and freight to Mc Minnville. Ko injury was sustained by anyone beyond a general shaking up. Tho damaged cars were wrecked beyond the possibility of repair. Portland News, 17. TTIU Hold tlie Fort. The Oregon Improvement company are taking steps to fortify themselves in the possession of the Green river coal lands. A large number of men have been em ployed and placed on the various sections heretofore prospected by the Improve ment company, and they intend to hold it as against tho Northern Pacific Kail road company at all hazards. The fact of the matter is that tho Northern Pacific Bailroad company have not, nor never had, a shadow of a title to these lands, and the only way the Improvement com pany can ever get title is to have the un earned lands revert to the government, and then get their title direct.

The stockholders of the Oregon and Transcontinental company have become alarmed at what they term the inaction of th6 piesent management. A short time ago they asked President Endicott if the statement that he wished to resign the office was true, but in reply they re ceived only excuses for a longer delay. Just before adjournment of the Ala ba na state Republican cjuvantion last Wednesday, a banner w.is flung out on the stand inscribed, "Our choice, Chester A. Arthur. Second choice, John A. Logan." The bannor will be taken to Chicago. Arthur, on the first ballot, will get nineteen out of the twenty Alabama votes at Chicago. A "Washington special states positively that Blaine and Grant wc-re brought together by General Grant at the Arling ton hotel, and that Grant informed Blaine that he had declined to be present at the dinner which the latter attended because he desired to avoid a public scene of reconciliation. It is also stated that Blaine declines avowing himself a candi date because he is convinced that the New York independent Republicans will not vote for him. , In the Sharon divorce case at San Francisco last Wednesday, Mrs. Fanny M.

Tho crowded condition of tho boneyard was admitted, and the statement volunteered that a new bury ing ground had been laid out down by the sounding sea and that the departed went to their last home by water. "Well," he said, "that gets me. I'm authority on cemeteries and burying grounds, and I when I see your graveyard there on the I niu x inougus u was mignty singular. bo you send 'em by wat6r, eh! I've trav '. eled some in my time, and though I sav it tb.H shouldn't, I'm no slouch on cemetery business myself. Your cit au thorities just ought to make me extun. You belchyou I'd give em some points in the business. Did you ever hear of the contract mo und another fellow had. the undertaker I bolievo they called him. though 'Doc' was all the nam- I ever had for him, over in Bodio in the spring of '77? No? Well, that's singular. Thought every one on tho coast had heard of that, I ouly alluded to it to bring in the little feet that I'm tho man. You see along about March and April '77, Bo- aie was juai. uuuiuiii;bouiu oi tue boys and the first thing we knew thero was a whole slew of 'em down with pneumonia. I wasn't dom' anything jast then, and piOKeu up tne nrst tning i come across which was digin' graves for this under taker. Graves. Graves wasn't his nnmi but we just called him Graves, or Doc or anytning tnat come nanay. i ive dollars was what they paid for diggin' a grave and though it took the best'part of p day eot to bo a regular thine a crave n flnv and then two, and at last three, until one day Doc. came to me, and he says, 'Look here. This thing is just beginning and I don't want to aa caught out. What'll you charge to dig ono hundred and fif tj graves?' Well, I fignred for a minute, and says I, Fll dig you that many graves for $400. 'All right;' says he, and so tho bargain wps made. We weren't cramped for room over thre, so I picked out i bit of sloping ground that wasn't as hum mocky as most of it and hired hi.Jf-n-do7-en Piutes and a couple of stray ShosLoi--ies to help inc. I agreed to gi-.i Via a dollar and a half a day. I offered 'era a dollar first, but they stuck out for n dol lar and a half, and as I knew I'd win it all back from thorn at bean poker every night anyhow it didn't make any odds, and we went to work on them terms. We worked all day for about two weeks and everything was niovin' as har monious as you please; wo just about kept ahead of the demand, and could have worked faster, but used to have to knock off out of respect to the remains whenever a procession hovo in sight, and if it wasn't that the force started in Eretty early in th morning, Doc. would avo crowded us even closer than ho did. But as April wore along I noticed that the graves weren't used up as fast as at first, and along about the last week there was whole rows of 'em that were lying waiting. At last Doc. cnuo to me one afternoon and says, 'how niauv bavejen dug?' One hundred and twenty-four, says I. 'Well,' says he, 'that's more than I'll need in a yiar: you'd be astonished to see how business has fallen off. I guess you'd better quit!' I told him I guessed not; that a bargain was a bar gain, and I was going to turn him over his 150 graves according to contract. One word led to another, an' me an' the un dertaker had considerable of a row over it. Well, I kept on and finished tho con tract, and blamed if Graves didn't re fuse to pay me. I brought suit, and he up an' denied the contract; said I'd dug them graves on spec' and with tho under standing that ho wasn't to pay for 'em unless he used 'em, and that even then he couldn't afford to pay over $1.50 a grave; that opposition had plumb ruined his business, and good Al graves could be had for 2.50 any day. Well, sir, I was beat. There I was "with about ono hundred first-class, clean-cut graves on my bands and no market for 'em. I'd paid my help rght along, and nothing but my extraordinaiy luck at poker o' nights kept me from being bankrapt. "How did you finally come out?" "Well, we kind o' compromised; he gimme $100, and as he had the dcadwood on me 1 had to take it. He seemed mightily tickled, for it was right into his hand to huve about a hundred nice ready made graves on hand, as it were, but his luck turned and I don't know when any thing happened that did me so much good." "How was that?" "Why, along about the 1st of May came a cloud burst; the water came down the canyon foamiu an' bilin', and just naturally scooped the whole sido of tho hill where we'd started the cemetery; It didn't leave one, but cut out and carried awaythe whole thing, soil and all.' "What become of the interred?" "Well, if there isn't a mired erowd where that cloud-burst piled up things promiscuous, when Gabriel toots his trump, then I don't want a cent."
