about 12:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and resulted in the most disastrous con.

war. The fire began in a shingle mill
and factory near the river front just
outside the northern boundary of the
city limits, A strong wind trom the
northeast, perhaps atwenty mile breeze,
was blowing. The flames
municated to the cotton wir

Before the Mobile mills, in that

steamers, the Jewel ¢ arv Llizabeth
and also the steamer Helen S, the tug

got the boats out of the slip into the
stream, saving all but the Jewel and the

water's edge.
The flames swept on down the wharf

His Answer to Charges by Harris
burg and Philadelphia Papers,
PriLapeLraia, Oct. 28. —Robert E,
Pattison, the Democratic candidate for
overnor, yesterday had warrants issued
ih the arrest of Messrs, MceClaurin and
W. J. Jordan, of The Harrisburg Call;
Mr. Clayton McMichael, of The Phila-
delphia North American, and Messrs,
Elverson and Heustis, publisner and
editor respectively of The Philadelphia
Inquirer, charging them with criminal
libel.
In the papers nam. and in others
throughout the state, there was pub-
lished on Saturday last an article which
charged that Governor Pattison had
been bribed by the Vanderbilts to sign
what were known as the South Penn
bills of 1883, and that the governor
songht out and retained ex-Judge Black
to write a veto message, and having re-
ceived it with the understanding that it
was to be sent to the legislature, he
changed his wind by the next morning,
and without notice to Judge Black ap-
proved the bills, and that Judge Black
denounced Gavernor Pattison for this
alleged deception and severed all amica-
ble relations with him. The article
also charged that 350,000 in stock had
been paid to Messrs, Pattison and Cas-
sidy for the signing of a bill chartering
a Pittabnrg natural gas corporation,

This arti The Call, copied in The
Inquirer and North Americas, was fol-
lowed up in The Inquirer yesterday by
an interview with Congressman hoe 8x
State Senator John E. Reyburn, purport-
mg to give farther confirmation to the
essential points in the original story con-
erning the South Penn bills, as he
learned of it from ex-Governor Black.
It was stated in The Call that
when, upon one occasion, President
Clevel nd thought of appointing Gov-
ernor Puttison to the office of secretary
| the interior, to succeed Mr. Lamar, a
ret investigation was made at Har
risburg concerning the South Penn leg-
islation, which developed facts concern-
ing the governor which caused the
president to abandon his purpose sum-
marily.

His
The Vanderbilts Acquire an Interest
in the Reading Railroad-—Sig.
nificance of the Deal.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25. — The an-
nouncement was made yesterday after-
noon that an alliance between the Read-
ing railroad syndicate and the Vander.
hilt interests had finally been effected,
and that hereafter the Vanderbilts will
be represented in the Reading manage-
ment.
A meeting of the members of the
Reading syndicate (which holds about
400,000 members, or more than a major.
ity of the capital stock of the company)
was held, and Mr. W. W. Gibbs, of this
city, formally resigned, and his place in
the city was, by unanimous consent,
accorded to H. B. Hollins, the head of
the New York banking and brokerage
firm of H. B. Hollins & Co. Mr. Gibbs
stated at the meeting that he desired to
give his undivided attention to the af.
fairs of the United Gas Improvement
company, of which he is president, and
that he had therefore concluded to re-
sign from the syndicate,
The Agent of Vanderbilt,
The significance of the meeting be-
comes apparent when it is stated that
H. B. Hollins & Co. are the recognized
brokers of the Vanderbilts, and that the
head of the firm enjoys confidential re
lations with the leading members of the
Vanderbilt family, The retirement of
Mr. Gibbs and the election of Mr. Hol.
lins means in other words, that the deal
between the Reading syndicate and the
Vanderbiits has been concluded, and
that hereafter the Vanderbilts will take
a prominent part in Reading Railroad
affairs,
The alliance has been effected largely
through the instrumentality of y VA
Isaac L. Rice, the New York lawyer
who is one of the leading spirits of the
syndicate. Mr. Rice has held a number
of conferences with the Vanderbilt rep-
resentatives, the negotiations coming to
a termination with the resignation from
the syndicate of Mr, Gibbs and the gleg.
tion of Mr. Hollins. The holdings of
the syndicate remain intact. Mr. Gibbs
held a large block of the stock and it
has now transferred to Mr. Hol
ns,
The alliance is of the highest import.
ance and its fall meaning will appear in
the future. The Reading ot be .
tion is materially strengthened and its
coal business will be made more profita-
ble. The Vanderbilts will have an ont
let to Philadelphia and will be enabled
to keep the Baltimore and Ohio within
bounds.
The South Penn.
Regarding the South Penn railroad,
no definite information can be given at
this time. It is no secret among rail
road men that Mr. H. McK. Twombley,
the son-in-law of the late William
Vanderbilt, is anxious to build the road,
and his anxiety is shared by other mem-
bers of the Vanderbilt family. The alli-
ance with the Reading railroad gives
the Vanderbilts an eastern outlet
Harrisburg, and the road, if finished,
would therefore be an im t trunk
line and a competitor of the lve
nia railread, ¢ building of road
wonld of course antagonize the 1-
vania intevests, but it is said that the
pliiance will enable the Vanderbilts to
pacify the Pennsylvania in asubstantial
way-—a feat which, without the Read-
ing railroad, they would find it difficuls,
if not fin} ' ish.
