TnE tax on natural gas pipes in
Pittsburg is reported to exceed
$1,500,000 per annum", indicating
& marvelous rate of expansion in
the natural gas industry.
.
Among the assets mentioned in
the -will of Captain James B. Eads,
is a claim of. $1,000,000 on the
United States -jrovernment for
maintaining a jetty channel at the
mouth of the Mississippi.
It is reported that the sum of
$200,000,000 is due from England
to France under the treaty of No
yember 20, 1815. A committee
of the chamber of deputies is now
investigating the subject, with the'
view of demanding payment.
The list of members of the fif
tieth congress presents a number
of presidential names. There is
a Washington, an Adams, a Tay
lor and a Hayes. "Washington,
who is from Tennessee, will be the
first of the name to sit in congress.
ti
Theee is a little boom for Wm.
B. Allison, oNIowa, as a probable
Republican -presidential nominee.
From former acquaintance with
the aforesaid it is believed that he
is not the msm to pocket or other
wise veto a properly constructed
river and harbor bill.
To meet the growing scarcity of
whalebone and Its consequent in
creased cost, various subhtitntes
have been brought forward.
Among the most recent is the em
ployment of geese and turkey
quills, a factory for this kind of
manufacture having been estab
lished in Michigan.

The "Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati JEnquirer says:
A most formidable alliance has
been orgafiized to make John
Sherman of Ohio, the Republican
presidenlial nominee. At its front
is .Simon Cameron of Pennsylva
nia, and his son Don, and the
lesser light is Mahone of Virginia.
M
Baron Noedenskjold expects
to sail for the Antarctic regions
about the middle of next year.
He thinks the greatest difficulty
in going nearer to the south pole
than any one else will be in get
ting coal enough. He thinks that
the north pole might be reached
by balloon, but wonders how the
successful adventurer would get
back.
The problem to provide ways
and means for the iotal extinction
of slavery in Brazil, has undoubt
edly within the last few years ab
sorbed more attention than any
other national question. The num
ber of registered slaves in Brazil
in 1885, was 1,123,228; the num
cer must now be under 1,000,000,
or more than one-third less than
the number three years ago.
Slavery in Brazil can only last a
few years more.
The receipts of wheat from
Oregon, says the JBicUetint from,
July 1, 1886, to March 26,. 1887,
were equivalent to 603,710 centals
wheat, against 1,508,756 for the
same time in the previous harvest
year. Most of the wheat received
from Oregon has been reshipped to
Europe. In 1885-86, the difference
in freight between Portland and
Europe and San Francisco and
Europe made it profitable to send
about 75,000 tons wheat to this
port for reshipment to Europe.
In the current cereal year, this
advantage has been immaterial,
and hence less Oregon wheat has
gone to Europe by way of San
Francisco.
The new schedule of freights has been
received at the Astoria office of the O. K.J
&N.Co.
Here ia the rate between San Francisco,
Sacramento, Marysville, Stockton, San
Jose, Oakland, Los Angeles, and San
Diego; Portland and Astoria, Oregon (by
Northern Pacific Railroad, or Oregon
Short Line); Tacoma and Seattle (by the
Northern Pacific Bailroad only):

The members of the Stuttz Dra
matic company, who were injured by
the upsetting ot a stage on the Sis
kiyou mountains last Tuesday night,
are housed in a tumble-down cabin
near the summit of the mountains,
about twelve miles south of Ashland.
The cabin was oooupied by a poor
family, who generously surrendered
it to the wounded strangers. It con
tained only one bed and very few of
the necessities of life. For a person
in good health the situation of sleep
ing on the floor with only enough to
eat to sustain life, was bad enough,
but for people seriously injured, two
of them believed to be dying, the sit
uation is pitiful, and calls for sym
pathy. Little Ivy Stuttz and Jasper
Cunningham, the driver, were injured
internally, and word came to Ash
land Sunday that Cunningham was
not expected to live through the
night. The ohild is in great pain.
Her father, when he saw that the ac
cident was inevitable, threw her from
the stage, intending that she should
strike in some fir boughs that lay at
the side of the road; but he miscalcu
lated the speed, and the ohild was
thrown against a rocky bank. It is
thought she oannot recover. Mrs.
LeCompte. an elderly lady, who suf
fered a fracture of the collar bone,
received surgical aid. The remainder
of the party are still suffering from
bruises and cuts.
To add to the misery and discom
fort, the weather for the past four
days has been terrible snow, hail
and heavy ram. The roads, which a
week ago were in fine condition, are
now almost impassable, the stage
Binking hub-deep in mud at almost
every turn in the road. The man
who owned the stage which upset left
Ashland Sunday with provisions for
the sufferers, and this is believed to
be the first relief they have had from
the outside. Uregoman, 12.
