A twelye-foot fly wheel, cast in one piece,
and weighing four tons, was shipped to the
f,ou ring mill of Loudenslater Il Sons, yes
terday, by A. ]. Sweeny & Sons.
It was reported yesterday at the mills
that the cold iron feeders were expected to
go TO work on Monday. but the strikers
denied that they had any such intentions.
The new Nail City brewing building is
going up rapidly, and ii is expected that
work on the fourth story will be completed
by Saturday. All the brick work will be
completed next week.
About one hundred and sixty men are
now employed at the B. & o. repair shops
at this place. Several engines are in the
shops for repairs, and number OF box cars
will soon be completed.
II has been found necessary. to increase
the water supply at Saratoga Springs, and
ii is proposed to put in two new engines
and to have capacity Of 6,00o,0O0 gallons
per day. These additions can be made at an
expense of $4,000.
The Railroad Gazette, OF November 18th,
has information of the laying Of 40SH miles
of new railroad, making 6,649 miles this
year, against 5,342 miles reported at the
corresponding time in 1880, $3.50 miles in
1879, i,947 miles in 1878, 1915 miles in 1877,
2,l02 miles in 1876. I,l50 miles IN 1870.
l,6S6 miles in 1874, $3.50 miles in 1873, and
6,3ll miles in 1872.
An interesting piece of machinery is on
exhibition at the store of Mr.. &. NJ. Stevens,
on Chapline street, near Twenty-fourth. II
is a miniature engine, built Tor the purpose
of running a small saw, and is unique in
style and of handsome workmanship. Ii
has two-thirds of horse power, and the
cylinder is of inch stroke and 24 inch
bore 1t has fre-box, steam drum, safety
valve and everything else requisite to u
perfect engine. 1t was built by Mr.. Stevens
in the evenings and speaks well for his in
genuity.
Mechanically speaking, horse power is
the equivalent of raising $4,000 pounds one
foot high in one minute of time, but the
expression horse power is TO be considered
merely as a conventional term. The actual
work of horse is the equivalent of raising
o, 600 pounds one foot high in one minute
for seven hours out of twenty-fOur. Since
a steam engine will work continuously, 1t
follows, that one horse power of the engine
is equal to that of 4.3 horses.
1t is being arranged to hold a Hygienic
and Life-Saying Exposition at Berlin during
the coming year Devices for protect on
against accidents in mines, manufactures,
on railroads, etc, will be exhibited, as we'll
as the means employed for the ventilation
OF industrial establishments, and other ar
rangcments of appliances having in view
the preservation of the health OF the opera
tors. In this latter respect, there is
abundant room for much needed improve
mcnt; for, while an accident, by which a
halfdozen lives are lost, appeals to our
sympathy, ten times the number OF lives
are sacrificed to impure air, and other pre-
veutible causes, without exciting comment.

Rrokeu Into Last Might, and the EntirI

Contents Carried on.
A very bold robbery was perpetrated in
this city between S and G o'clock last night,
at the jewelry and repair shop of Anton
Stauyer, No. 1910 Main street. 1t appears
that the old gentleman went to his supper
about o'clock, locking the door of his
room, and returning about three-fourths OF
an hour later found that his place had
been literally sacked. A showcase con-
tanning quantity of ladies and gents neck
cSS.ins, watch-guards, and chains, rings,
pins, and jeweiry of all sorts, had been ell
tirely cleaned out, while twelve or thirteen
gold and silver watches. had been taken
from case and carried off. Everything
of portable nature that was
in the room was gone, and for
few minutes the old gentleman was too
dazed to say anything, but soon recovering
himself gave the alarm and in a few mo-
ments his room was filled with crowd OF
his neighbors and friends. Captain Ben
nett was OH the ground in very few min
utes and at once took the most thorough
precautions to block the flight of the
thieves-himself going TO Martins Ferry,
while kilograms were sent to all the near
towns.
The manner of entrance was very simple.
The hasp of the lock on the door was
pushed off and the two men at once entered
and in a minute or two had all the con-
tents of the store in valises or sacks. They
then walked leisurely out Of the door to
the street and were soon safe with their
booty.
The robbery was well planned and skill
fully executed and it was no doubt the
work OF men entirely familiar with the
town and with the store. Two mee, one
carrying paper sack and the other va.
lise, were seen going up Main street about
o'clock last night, and il is thought they,
were the thieves. The loss will not exceed

WASHINGTON, ID. C., December Upon
the expiration Of the morning hour, Mr..
Morrill, addressed the Senate at length up
on his Tariff Commission bill. The speak
er said: "Our nearest approaches to free
trade had been seasons Of national disaster,
as were the years 1888, lS47 and 1857, and
the further we had rccedcd from free trade
the better had our labor Jared, and the
greater had been the material
and educational advancement OF
the country. The evidences that
free trade and prosperity in Great
Britain we're on the wane, were apparent
in the five Thousand houses in She field
and the ten thousand in Birmingham now
marked "to let" He contended that the
British policy had been everywhere re-
jected.
AS result Of this policy. British sgri-
culture was now threatened with ruin by
foreign competition, and Lord Derby, in
late speech to the Lancashire farmers, had
suggested the desperate remedy of the en-
igration OF some 5000. 900 Of them, so those
who remain might farm on better terms.
Moreover. there were recent evidences OF
change in British opinion, to the extent
that while free trade would be the best
thing for England, If other nations would
follow her example. it was not the best
thing for her IL left its sole adj
herent" The axiom Of British free trade
economy: that for any branch Of manufac.
turers 10 rest on safe foundations, and il
was indispensable that skilled labor and
raw material should be indigenous, and il
applied to the British Islands would strip
them of great share Of their industry. as
cotton, hemp or silk, lumber, steel, and
other articles and various machinery, were
not home products. Referring TO the Gus
tom infeKfbly adhered to on the English
turf Of handicapping racess for the protee-
ton Of native thoroughbreds, he suggested
that II English horses could, with propriety,
be given this advantage as against our
Parole and Iro9uois. nations younger and
less experienced in manufactures ought
not TO submit to be distanced By
previous winners in many con-
testing fields Yet the owners Of
Manchester and Birmingham. many year
old, refused to be comforted when they
were fairly handicapped BY protective
tariffs in match with Atlanta and Indian
apolis, two-year-Olds. He continued with
reference TO the prosperous condition Of
our agricultural community under q pro-
teetive tariff, in contrast with the poorly
| fed, coarsely clothed and down-trodden
British farmer, and asserted that there was
| not Stste where industries would not be
jeopardiEed by free trade.
Mr.. Morrill, finished ut 2:i0 r r.. and
moved the reference of the subject to thu
| Committee on Finance, bat at the sugges
| ton of Mr. Garland, who desired 70 b
heard on the subject, Withdrew his motion
The latter temporarily yielded the hoor fo'
some general business. and the subject ~
informally passed over for the present
