A Novel Strike.

The visitors at Builth, Welsh wa
tering place, finding that tradespeople
of the town were advancing the price
of some of the luxuries and necessaries
of life, determined to make q stand
against it. Accordingly several gen.
tlcmen with large families, number
of maiden ladies, and few indignant
bachelors, put their heads together to
remedy what they thought . crying
sin. They were determined that al
though they did not deny the shop
keepers of Builth fair profit on what
they bought from them, they would
not allow them to get rich at their ex-
pense. Accordingly an open-air meet.
ing of the visitors was agreed upon,
and on August 9th upward of four
hundred assembled on the Groe (the
public recreation ground of Builth. A
gentleman was voted to the chair, and
began the business of the meeting by
inviting those present to state their
grievances. Numbers of excited visi.
tors Immediately began to tell how
exorbitant were the prices they had to
pny to this shopkeeper and to that
hotel keeper. The chairman, however
willing he was to listen to the griev-
ances, could not do so for some little
time. Order being at length obtained,
one visitor after another was heard and
it was finally unanimously resolved
that unless the shopkeepers lowered
the prices of butter nearly 30 per cent,
and brought ham down to what the
public paid for it in Cardiff, they (the
visitors) would totally abstain from
their use. A committee was formed
to wait upon the tradesmen, and the
meeting was adjourned.

New Motive Power for street Raj


New Motive Power for street Rail.
roads.
We clip the following from an
accornt of trial trip of q new loco
motive for street railroads, published
in the Chicago Tribune of August "a ::
"In front of the cars was the motive
power, contained in a small, compact,
and neat locomotive, manipulate by
an engineer. This was the freless
locomotive. It consisted of a boiler.
eight feet long by three feet in diam
eter, and the usual machinery on a
small scale. There was no fuel. no
fire, no fireman. The steam was sup
piled for the round trip of six miles
before starting. At the depot was a
supply boiler, sixteen feet by three
feet, in which steam was generated
until 200 pounds pressure was
indicated by the steam-gauge at.
tacbed. The locomotive boiler was
three-fourths full of cold water. In
stead OF boiling this by means of q
fire, and raising the pressure to re-
quired height, the heat was introduced
from the supply boiler through an iron
tube. The iron tube was connected
with tube in the locomotive boiler,
the latter running under the water
along the bottom of the boiler and
letting out the supe1heated steam as it
was freed from the supply boiler into
the locomotive boiler. This steam,
rising through the cold water, permeat-
ed it, and quickly raised it's tempera-
ture to ITO degrees. With this supply
Of steam the locomotive started, draw
ing a heavy four.horse car over the
three miles, to Thirty-fifth street, in
ten minutes. The amount of steam
was 80 pounds, the locomo-
tive starting back with so pounds re.
naming. When the starting point was
reached there was 81 pounds of steam
in the boiler, the pressure being re.
duced only 80 pounds in the return
trip, which was down grade. It must
be borne in mind that there was large
car, heavily laden, making eighteen
miles an hour. The experiment proved
conclusively that, as a substitute for
dummy engines, the s&reless locomo-
tive is, beyond question, q success.
There is no fire or fireman required;
very little steam escapes, and the loco
motive, not being one-half the size of
the clumsy dummy engine, does not
frighten horses and endanger the pub.

in Boston in 1861, graduated with
the highest honors of Harvard College,
and after attempting practice without
much success IN four country towns,
settled down at home, in Boston. He
soon gained reputation for q sound
and reliable lawyer and was repeatedly
chosen to the Legislature. He was
elected United States Senator in 1796,
and while Senator was appointed by
John Adams, Secretary of War and in
the same year Secretary of the Treas

him several times and refused. On

He belonged to the Federal

the war with England. Consequently
he was nominated by the Republican

such as the Columbian Sentinel and
