Casting A Huge Cylinder.
Nearly Fifty Tons of sNIoIten Metal Ladle Glowing into the Mould.
 From the Nau York SuD

Glowing into the Mould. From the New York Sum- The largest steamship cylinder in the world was successfully cast yesterday at the Morgan Iron Works, The proceedings at tracted a number of spectators, and when the hour of casting approached perspiring body guard anxiously followed Mir. John Roach as he lodged in and out and around the vol canos of liquid metal ready to be let loose in to the gigantic mould. For hours the molten fluid dazzled the eye as it streamed like wa ter under the setting sun from the two cupo- las into receptacles beneath. An army of muscular and intelligent looking working men, three and three, staggered away from these receptacles in turn with large hand la dles full of the melted iron as coolly and un- concernedly as if they were dipping up Cro- ton. But slip of the foot would have cost several lives. The ladies were emptied into two great tank ladies connecting by tap with the mould, and also into huge crane ladies swung by steam.
 Wont the iron in these ladies cool before the hour of casting?" said grimy and dust covered spectator.
 Bless you, no, A salamander could swim around in it till he got cool, said Mir Roach; charcoal on top keeps the cold air iron, striking the iron.''
 At 1:30 p. m. the great tank ladies were filled. The crane ladies hung poised to do their work Showers of sparks went hissing through the ar as unotlced by the working men as if they had been snowflakes. At1:40. the word was givien, and the tank ladies were tapped into the great cylinder mould. The crane ladies creaked as they were swung round to complete the work A fiery shower broke from all sides of the mould, and the spectators, who were perched on a scaffold- ing comparatively out of the way, beat a nasty retreat. The casting was complete success. In three minutes after the tapping it was over.
 The cylinder stands about half out of it's great pit, and cracked and famed all the af- ternoon. It reaches fifteen feet below ground and will remain red hot for a week Nearly 100, 900 pounds of iron was used for the cast. ing. The cylinder is feet 3 inches in diam eter and 14 feet stroke, and is for the new iron steamer now being built for the Old Col ony Steamboat company. The two main shafts for the engine will be the largest forg- ings in the world. Each will be 40 feet long and 27 inches in diameter, and will weigh 85,000 pounds.
 The steamer will be 3S4 feet long on deck, s7 feet beam over guards, and 17 feet inches deep; will have double hull, six water-tight bulkheads, and ninety-six water-tight com partments, and will be fitted with steam steer ing gear, steam pumps and heating apparatus

A Broker. Mistake.

The following story is told of Francis Drex- el, the father of the we'll known Philadelphia bankers. Soon after the close of the war with Mexico many Spanish and Mexican sil- yer dollars found their way into the United States, and were bought up by bankers and money dealers all over the country. The price paid for them varied greatly, according to the demand and supply, and the condition of the pieces themselves. At the close of 8 rainy day, during which MT. Drexel-then do-

A curious document was presented to Bis marck the other day in the shape of an anti Semitic petition, which has been going about the empire for signatures for the last six months and which aims at imposing restris
 tions on the immigration of Jews into Ger
 many, at excluding them from certain walks of activity altogether, and, in fact, at undoing much of the legislation of the past in their favor. Silesia, which has been most assidu- ously worked upon by the anti-Semitics, as being the channel through which the west ward stream of Jewish immigration mostly pours, has alone contributed a fifth of the total number of signatures, while Branden- burg follows with 80,OOo, including 12,O0O from Berlin,; Westphalia, with 27,OOO; the Rhine province, with 10000; while south Germany has made but a poor show of in- tolerance. Baden, with Hohenzollern, send ing only 1000, and Bavaria 5000. The King of Bavaria, it may be remembered, issued an order strictly forbidding Govern ment officials to further in any way the move ment, which had begun to show signs of spreading in his territory. The Catholic dis
 tricts of the empire have, as a rule, refrained from joining in the agitation against the Jews.

 It is the opinion of those competent to judge in England that the public schools are manufacturing race of short-sighted people. Professor Cohn of Breslau has examined 1O,- 900 children in German schools, and has found no less than 1,OO4 whowere found to beEmore or less seriously affected with short sightedness, and he ascertained that the de- gree of the damage done the eyes undergoes 8 steadily progressive increase from the ele- mentary to the finishing schools. Taking twenty-fv German and Swiss gymnasia the percentage of short-sighted pupils rose from 22 in the lowest grade to B in the medium grade and 53 in the highest classes. Ut is evident D Professor Cohn asserts, ''that we are threatened with great national afiiction, which is likely not only to be detrimental to all peaceful occupations, but to impair the military efficiency of our people,"
 A number of the brewers of Milwaukee who feel themselves aggrieved by the anti treating law of Wisconsin have taken the matter in hand and talk of organizing new political party, which shall have for it's car dinal principle unqualified opposition to every sort of interference with what they call the personal liberty of the citizen. These gentlemen state that there are more than fif- teen hundred men constantly employed in the Milwaukee breweries, that they work one thousand horses and as many drivers, that they buy from Wisconsin farmers three mil lion bushels of grain and millions of pounds of hops annually, and that incidentally they have in their employ hundreds of wagon makers, carpenters and painters. These facts are to be fully set forth at the brewers congress which is to meet at Chicago on the 10th of next month, and it is hoped that some plan may be devised by which the ma jorities in State Legislatures may be made to see the importance of refusing to antagonize important interests by the passage of such measures as the anti treating bill.
 Not little excitement has been caused in England by the publication in the NtneteenM Century of an article upon ''The Military Impotence of England" The writer of this paper, who is an Austrian staff officer, argues that England is not in condition to protect her possessions either on sea or land. He admits the superiority of the British navy, but points out that with ports all over the world to defend and an immense mercantile marine to be protected, little could be done to ward off the naval forces which France or Germany could easily concentrate against them. He also maintains that an invading force could land at any one of hundred places on the British coast without sncoun- tsring serious opposition, and once landed he does not see how they could be successful ly opposed. The Englishmen dispute the va Gdity of their Austrian critics premises and conclusions, and. declare that England is abundantly able to protect herself against except coalition of all the other great powers, which is a contingency that they do not think it worth while to be trou- bled about.

Financial.

Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New
York, have placed on the market 81, 900,
600 loan of the Chicago, Milwaukee anC
st. Paul Railway Company in the shapt
of five per cent. 40 year gold Bonds, due
1921, aud secured by first mortgage
upon the Chicago * Pacific Western
Division of the system of the Company.
The interest is payable semi-annualiy
in gold coin on the first days of January
and July. These bonds are issued for
the purpose of making important addi-
tions to the various lines of the COM
pany, more especially the southwestern
portion of the system, and are emitted
only at the rate of 100000 per mile of
completed and equipped road and for
bridges and rolling stock. The deed of
trust is very explicit, and provides that
none of these bonds can be issued eX-
cept for the aforementioned purposes
when actGally accomplished. The com
pany has always paid seven per cent,
on its preferred stock, and for 1881 paid
seven per cent. on its common stock.
The net earnings last year We're S5,3i3,-
6H2, and after paying all fixed charges
and seven per cent. on both classes of
stock had q balance of $500, ,99j, which
added to the surplus 'of previous year
leaves an undivided balance of income
Of $3,36o,977. This shows that the
bonds are good investment, and as
they are likely to be rapidly absorbed
investors intending to purchase would
do well to make early application.
They are now offered at 100 and accrued
interest, subject to an advance in price
and to closing of subscription without
notice.

Frank Mccoy, better known as "Big
Frank, one of the most notorious Grim
inals in the country and well-knowr

luck which has characterized his life
as a "crook." On Thursday he was ac.

tahishment, Atlantic avenue near

to identify McCoy. "Bis Frank is a
Philadelphian and has figured in num-

There are good grounds for suppOsin2
that he was concerned III the robbery OF

led about the close of Mayor FoX's ad-

he was sentenced to ten years inprison-

after his admission to that institution
he made his escape, and although recap

A Crazy Preacher.

The Rev. George o. Barnes, the Ken
lucky revivaliSt, seems to be turning
that State religiously upside down and
inside out. He is holding series OF
revivals that exceed in excitement any
thing ever before experienced in that
part of the country. He is a Methodist
but holds some doctrines not common
in Methodism. One Of thesei is that any
person may, by becoming holy enough,
escape death and be taken up alive into
heaven. He declares that he will make
such an ascension within five years. He
promises salvation to all his converts,
regardless of possible backsiding, and
declares that those who remain faithful
will receive crowns of glory, while ex-
traordinary piety and zeal will add
stars to the crown. The Kentucky pas
tors, as rule, do not cooperate with
him, and some of them denounce him
rs an imposter or lunatic, but the null
titudes follow him, and he breaches to
great assemhlageS. Marvellous stories
were told of his cures by faith, and
some of his followers have established
a hospital, called Pink Cottage, where
patients who give evidences ola suitable
amount Of faith are received for purely
religious treatment
