WEST SIDE TELEPHONE. I 1 f r 4 An explosion on the west bound isville A Nashville passenger, day morning, killed tiio engineer firemen, injuring several others wrec Red the entire train. Lou- Su n- and and United States treasurer Jordan, has tendered Ins resignation, which is now in the hands of the president. He has been offered the presidency of a new national bank in New York city, which account for the resignation. Speaker Gregg lias introduced abili in the house, providing for the publi cation in one or moro newspapers in the county, of a semi-annual statement of the financial condition of the county. This is a good bill and should certainly become a law. Senator Mitchell is not only looking after the interests of liis own state but after the interests of Washington terri tory as well. The people of that terri tory prize Mr. Mitchell's services high ly. He is doing a great deal of good for them. Eddie Sol mian, the young dramatic composer, who married Lilli in Russel, some years ago, in London turns out to be a naughty, naughty hov, and bad a wife from whom lie was not divorced before he married the fair Lillian. His first wife lias been granted a divorce however, which exonerates him in the eyes of London societyf?). Mr. Holland,of Grant, lias introduced u bill in the house to create the eighth judicial dist'iet from the counties of Umatilla, Morrow, and Grant, and pro viding that the legislative assembly shall elect a circuit judge to hold until the next general election, and that the pros ecuting attorney of the sixth judicial dis trict shall be the prosecuting attorney of the eighth district, and the act provides that the legislative assembly shall elect a new proBecutig attorney for the sixth district. The national legislative committee of the knights of labor in behalf of the or der have presented President Cleveland with a communication urging him to veto the inter-state commerce bill, be cause it has so many objectionable fea tures and is tlio’acme of legal subterfuge.’ The knights say the objectionable fea tures are the commission clause and the arbitrary power conferred upon a corn mission and the exclusive jurisdiction given to the Federal courts to hear and determine ths causes arising under the net. They also acknowledge an uncer- tainly as to the meaning of nearly all tho provisions of the bill. 1 Our present legislators should not be governed by the bad precedent set by the last session, that of appropriating money for the building of roads and bridges in different parts of the state. A stop should be called in tho matter at once before it is too late. If the pre cedent set by the appropriations of last session are followed up by this Fession there will be no end to the matter, (or every locality in the state wants roads and bridges and pretty soon the state will not only be asked to build new bridges but to pay for the ones that are already built. If one county is to he relieved of the burden of bridge build ing then it is no more than fair that the other counties should in a like manner have their burdens borne by the state.— Albany Herald. One peculiar feature of the legislation in the house during the past two days is an effort of lobbyists to defeat the incor poration of Grant’s lass. Jonathan Bourne, of Multnomah, and Kiddle, of Douglas, men who are not residents of the town and ought to have no voice in the matter, are particularly interesting themselves in intriguing against the measure, and have even gone so far, it is said, as to assert on the floor of the bouse that the people of Grant’s Pass distrust their member of the legislature. No citizen of Grant's Pass is opposing the measure, while there arc several who strongly urge the passage of the act. and deny the statements made by the men above named. The members representing Josephine county are justly indignant at such unfair means to defeat a local measure. Wednesday afternoon the committee of investigation met and examined sev eral witnesses in regard to the silly scan dal against a member of the legislature. The only evidence elicited was common gossip without substantial or tangible facts. The opinion now prevails that a zephyr has been mistaken for a cyclone. That the house is aware of the niter in- significance of the real facts in the case there can lie no doubt, but the agitation of certain disinterested parties, aided by a few who claim a syndicate on morali ty, the judiciary committee, composed of the most respectable ami ablo gentle men of the house have been compelled to lay aside matters legislative and form theinselvos into a nosing and smell ing committee, attempting to discover something where there is nothing to discover. It's tho story of the three black crows over again. Tho young women who in idlo moments uninten tionally made some indiscreet remarks must now see their error and tho em barrassing position in w liich they have allowed themselves to be placed. NOrZM AM) The Umatilla Indians bavo all agreed in the matter of , the transfer ut their lands. The charges mado against X. N. Sleeves, a lawyer of Portland, after due investigation have not been sustain ed. The Mackay-Bennett Postal Telegraph company will soon have their lines in working order and then will commence operations. Railroad magnates In the east express their views freely about the inter-state commerce bill. To make a long story short “they don’t like it.” Twenty-five hundred mon and girls employed at Higgins & Co’s, carpet manufactory, in New York, have struck on account of the alleged policy of the firm to weed out Knights of Labor. The election of a United States sena tor by the New Jersey legislature, seems to be as lar away as wlun they flist met. They w ill probably make a record to equal the last Oregon legislature. General Chas. P. Stone died at his res ilience in New York Monday afternoon. He was in the rebellion and subsequent ly in the service of the Khedive of Egypt. He was the engineer in charge of the erection of the statute of liberty. Illinois, outside of Chicago, has 200- 000 less population than six years ago. So runs the story in all those states. It is the weather that is driving them out, and they have no place logo except Cal ifornia and Oregon, where we have no weather, but the only greatest climate on the earth. Generally speaking nations in these latter days do not go to war until they are prepared and upon a war footing. When a nation is fully prepared for war it does not take much of a j.ir to set things going. That there is probability of war in Europe no one, can doubt who fully understands the situation. Jonas Clark, one of the wealthiest men in Massachusetts, has signified his inten tion to found a school at Worcester which shall rival Yale and Harvard, and a petition has already been presented to the legislature for the incorporation of the Clark University. He will endow the institution with $1,000,000, and promises more at his death, as lie has no heirs. In cutting down a I arge oak tree on the land of John Ashberger, south of Decatur, Indiana, the ax struck a hol low, and a large volume of gas or a sim ilar substance commenced escaping, making a noise that could be heard a half mile. One of the men lighted a match and touched it to tho escaping gas. It instantly ignited and sent up a flame forty feet. The blaze lasted fully live minutes heforo dying out. This ap pears on the face of it like a he. The debate on the fisheries question is waxing warm in the national senate. Edmunds, Ingalls and Frye have inti mated that matters have reached such a pass, that they can be settled only by negotiations or by war. There was plain talk on the subject that clearly indicated our government is in no mood to be trifHed with further on the subject. With the European complications growing on her hands (»rent Britain will be in a poor condition for another rupture with the United States Tho Chinese treaty lias not been sent to the senate. The state department is trying to secure concessions from the Chinese minister to render the certifi cate issued to departing Chinese invalid if not used within two years. Members of the California delegation aie convinc ed the new treaty cannot be satisfactori ly operative without additional legisla tion by congress. The fact that the new treaty had been negotiated lias completly destroyed all chances of the passage of Morrow’s bill at this session Last spring Mr, J. J. Upchurch, tie original founder of the A. O. O. W., visited Salem ami other points in Oie- gon and Washington territory. News has very recently been received of the death of this old and highly honored gentleman. In the Milwaukee Sentinel of Jan. 10th the following dispatch has been clipped under date of Cuba, Mis souri, January 18th ; “J. J. Upchurch, the founder of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, died in Steelvi.le, Missouri, to-day, aged (IS years. He founded tho first lodge of the order in Meadville, Pit., in 1868.” A now device for heating passenger cars is being tested on the Pennsylva nia railroad, in which the special object sought is lessening the danger of fire in ease of accident. Tho greater portion of the apparatus is placed underneath the floor in the center of the car. It is so securely shut that it is difficult it not impossible for any of the burning coals to escape. Il contains twenty gallons of water, and is heated by hard coal. Two steam pipes extend along each side of the car, a branch being carried under each seat. The hot water is also utiliz ed and passes through a register in the floor of the ear. OTHO WILLIAMS, Seventh Annual TELKUKAI’HIC.

C hicago , Jan. 26.—Marv Donahue, a native of Ireland, who had reached the ripe old age of 106 years, died Tuesday of chronic bronchitis. She was sai 1 to have been remarkably active, and to have maintained a cheerful disposition to the last. T ucson , Jan. 26.—News has just been received of a bloody affray at Crow’s ranch in Whetstone mountains. Two half-breeds came to the ranch at dusk Saturday, and Crow invited them in to get warm. After they were there a short time, one of them pulled a pistol and shot Crow. Two men came to Crow’s assistance, and the firing became gener al. One half-breed was killed. Crow is badly wounded. The other half-breed escaped. B oston , Jan. 26.—A cable message received yeterdav from I)r. Kreuger, of the European union of astronomers, announces the discovery of a comet on January 18 by Dr. Thorne, director of the observatory at Cardova, South America. This comet, which was probably observed three days ago at Melbourne, was in constellation Grus (the crane). The doctor now announce that it will become very brilliant and that it resembles in character the great comet of 1830, which was first announced by Dr. Gould, then director of the same observatory.
