A Weapon of Death.

The torpedoes which have recently been
devised for use in the Bosphorus possess
some new and peculiar features. They are
of two kinds-offensive and defensive. The
latter consists of strong, wrought iron
tank, capable of containing about four hun
dred pounds Of powder, and lying at the
bottom Of the water; from a fuse in the in
terror proceeds an electric cable, containing
a double wire and communication with a
voltaic battery on shore The tank is also
provided with an index, which floats within
five or six feet Of the surface of the water,
and which, on being touched by the bot
tom Of a ship, Immediately conveys signal
to the shore, whence an electric spark would
be sent through the powder in the tank, the
explosion either sinking or disabling the
ship above it.
The offensive torpedo, for attacking un-
der cover of dark night enemies ships
lying at anchor, consists Of hollow iron
pear-shaped vessel containing a heavy
charge of powder, and provided with sew
eral percussion fuses. This kind of torpedo
is fixed to the end Of boom some thirty
feet long, which is attached to the head of
a small steam launch. To the boom. which
hinges on the head Of the vessel, is attach
ed chain, which runs on board over a
pulley, and which can be shortened OF
heightened at pleasure, raising or lower
ing the torpedo in the water. The upper
portion Of the torpedo case is provided
with five percussion fuses, one Of which is
certain to strike ships bottom when pro
PEELED against it.

THE PORTLAND QUARRYR6EN.
An Appeal FOR HeIp---LeI Ihe Mem he sus
talned.

The lockout" at Portland still contin-
ues, and there is no diminution Of the dis
tress among the men and their families
We find the following appeal in the New
Haven Evening Union Of Saturday. It
speaks for itself. The number Of men out
Of employment rs somewhat exaggerated,
and will not exceed i, 200. OF these 800,
with their families, are in need Of nmme-
diate assistance, and we commend their
case to our workingmen
New HAVEN, January 20.
To the Workingmen Everywhere
The quarrymen Of Portland and Crom-
well, numbering ], 800 men, have been lock
ed out by the quarry owners since the lst
day Of December, because they refused to
accede to reduction Of wages The prices
that have been paid for the best hands was
SLIGO day during the months Of Decem-
Der, January and February, and this win
ter demand was made to accept 81. 80.
which they refused, and have been locked
ont.
For over seven weeks this state of affairs
has continued, until the quarrymen are now
Z NbAAA bAAtb VIII Dc bItAENeU lILD BuDlllS
SION and their organization DESTROYED
There is no need Of relating to working
men the necessity of financial aid it is
needed as fast as it can be sent The
Quarrymens organization is the strongest
in the State. and nobly are they contend
ing to sustain the principle that they have
the night to place their own price upon
their labor"
Their agents are now travelling over this
State, New York and Massachusetts, solic-
iting funds to sustain them, and earnest
ly hope their appeals will meet with lib
eral response
There is no need Of argument in this
cuse. The quarry owners have become
rich out Of the labor Of the men, and now
refuse to grant them sufficient remunera-
ton to keep soul and body together
have personally visited the men at Port
land, have ascertained the exact condition Of
affairs and am firm in the belief that if the
Trade Unions and Trade Unionists will do
their duty, the struggle will end in a week
The only hope Of the quarry owners is to
starve the men into submission but if
they accertain that their brothers all over
their country are assisting them financially
they will surrender Immediately.
earnestly call upon all the officers and
members Of Trades and Labor Unions to
Immediately set to work to aid these men.
If the Unions do not meet, let the chairman
or shop committee in each shop pass round
a paper for individual subscriptions, and
collect the dollars, fifty cents, twent- five
cents, and ten cents, lust as the men can
afford
Subscriptions can be sent To Richard Ho-
gan, box 225, Portland, CT.
Papers friendly to the cause will please

They could not mean this surely-they did

They met at Springfield, on this occasion
as on former one. with the intention Of
producing an effect upon the members who
represented their respective localities, and
draft substitute bill to suit themselves
This latter they have failed to do, for the
simple reason they could not produce any
thing more reasonable, if they produced
anything at all, than the one now pending
against the passage Of which they have en-
tered their protest This act Of theirs was
IA matter of course" proceeding, and We
cannot but think the members Of the Legis-
lature will look upon their action as such.
The sinking Of the escapement shaft has
been quite ''bugbear' with them, and has
always offered a catch for hanging loop
on. There are only few places in the
State, we believe, where $50, 900 will not
sink shaft there is not place where coal
mines are now operating but second shaft
is now, or will he necessary at the eXpira-
ton If two years the time given in the bill
i'll question for owners Of deep mines to
provide themselves with escapement shafts,
for the purposes OF more advantageously
producing coal, for their own interest.
There is not now field, with but two or
three exceptions, where there are not two
shafts i'll operatlon-in many instances by
the same owner-in others by competing
parties Were the law such that an escape
ment shaft were necessary a very little
care and foresight on the part Of the opera
tors in selecting the ground whereon they
intend to construct these shafts would en-
able them to each own but one shaft and
yet comply with the law
As to the question Of inability to fur
nish means to construct the sec
ond shaft by the operators, We only want to
know where the single instance is, in the
State of Illinois, where the discovery Of
workable vein Of coal upon the land has
not been the signal t. enhancing the value
of said land to ten times its previous
worth. This being the case, We ask, why
not, in contemplating going into the busi
ness Of coal mining, employ a portion Of
the money-the fact of the article itself
being in the land has given to the proper
and safe system of operating mines there
on. Neither is there any case we know of
where the lands are depreciating in value,
but the contrary is universally the fact. SO
long then as such is the case the question Of
financial inability to work the proposed I'M
Iruvements is merely a wind bubble
mountain in the distance, which will gradu
ally disappear the nearer We approach il.
Respectfully yours,
john JAMES.
