PREPARING TO RUN THE BRIDGE CARS.

Chief Engineer Paine was busy yesterday at the
New-York Bridge Station solving the problem of
switching the cars He said that the trial trips had
been very satisfactory, and the gripping attachment
had worked so well that duplicates were beng

New-York end by small cable that IL worked
back and forth by All attachment TO the large
wheels over which the main cable runs. small
car is fastened to the small cable and it can be

drawn up on the switch and will roll down from
splicing of the small cable was satisfactorily COM
pleted yesterday. heavier wheel has been placed
at the New-York end In place OF one thought too
light for the strain of the cable. 1t will probably
be several days before trial trips OF around the
circuit will be made. All the arrangements will
be carefully tested before the public 10 allowed to

A Seed Tester.

A correspondent in the Farm and
Fireside gives the following directions
for testing the quality of seed.
My plan, he says, is to make a box
about six inches deep. Fill in four in
ches of good soil, on this lay thin piece
of muslin, just enough to fit the box,
and make it nicely level on the soil.
On this muslin put one hundred seeds
of the kind you wish to test Cover
them with another piece of muslin, and
an inch of earth. When done, water
with slightly warm water and set away
in a warm place. The sprouting pro-
cess can be much facilitated by placing
the box on the stove, daily, after the
fire is nearly out, so that the stove is
just warm enough to heat the bottom of
the box. Otherwise the box can be set
on bricks that are heated daily for the
purpose. After four or five days lift off
the top dirt and its covering of cloth
carefully. Count the seeds that have
sprouted, and if only fifty of each sort
have sprouted, procure new seed If
over seventy-fve are sprouted and the
sprouts all look vigorous. the seed will
do very well OF course, the greater
the per cent, Of those that sprout, the
better.

cIoaR MAKERs err a RAISE.

There has been a general movement
made by cigar makers throughout the
country for an advance in wages. and the
question has been agitated in Rock Island,
Davenport and Moline of late. On Satur-
day evening, April 14th, meeting OF the
cigar makers union. No. 172. met at
Davenport. The proprietors of factories
in the three cities were visited, and re-
quest was made to raise the wages on the
1st of May 81 per thousand. because of
the reduction of the government tax from
Sc to So per thousand.
Another meeting was held last Saturday
evening, and the committees made favor
able reports Two non union factories
were not consulted, but the proprietofs
will probably pay the prevailing prices.
When the tax was raised in 1874, reduc-
ton of 81 per thousond was made, and
now that the tax is lessened, the workmen
think they should get the old prices.

PRESIDENTIAL TALK.

New YORK, April 21.-Senator Be n
Harrison, of Indiana. who is regarded in
certain quarters as an asprant for the
presidential nomination, said to report
or this morning: Why | am looked on
as q candidate cannot even imagine'
| Up to the present time nothing that
ever said or done can possibly be con-
strued as tending in that direction.
Mr.. Harrison refused to talk on the
subject of the possibilities of either of the
prominent candidates succeeding in OBJ
tanning the nomination When asked
who would probably be the leader of the
republican minority in the next house, he
said that there were a number of very
able men who were competent to take the
leadership, but he refused to name any
particular person as his fayorite. Mr.
Reed is a strong man, he said. $50 is Mr..
Robinson"
And Mr.. Keifer?" suggested the re-
porter.
Yes, he would make good leader,
but | am not sufficiently we'll acquainted
with him to hazard an opinion as to his
chances.

FISH PROTECTION.

The meeting called at Kenwor thy s.
Beardsley's law Office on Saturday even
ing, was well attended, by those inter
ested in protecting the fish laws, and the
general sentiment seemed to prevail that
the laws had been violated long enough
J. M. Beardsley No. 2, James ]. Parks
and J. T. Kedworthy were appointed a
committe to collect funds for the purpose
of prosecuting those who violated the fish
laws and endeavor to stop seining. A
committee on permanent organization
consisting of j. T. Kenworthy, E. III.
Guyer and J. Ross Mills, was appointed
The. duty of the committee will be to CO.
operate with the federal and state com
missions in protecting the fishing interest.
AS soon as the committee reports, another
meeting viii be held, and permanent or
ganization effected. This should be a
warning to seiners to discontinue their
nefarious business, and if they do not,
they will surely come to grief, as the
gentlemen who have taken this matter in
hand, are determined to have the game
laws lived up to, and win spend their
time and money to carry out their pur-
pose. Nocturnal fishermen. beware.

g,n Rats.

Probably the largest mandatory is
that of Spalding,' nj Hastings, Michigan,
where 100 men are employed. Half 3
million bats are supposed to be the de-
mand for the present year. The North
soesterqa Lstnabe17ld,e SAYS.
Ash is the staple bat wood The ash
bat is universally preferred and used by
professional players, and gives the best
satisfaction. In the matter of weight,
strength, and durability, bats of that
wood seem best adapted to the wants OF
the batter proportion of fancy, and
necessarily higher-prieed, bats are made
of cherry. Including the different
woods and various sizes, there are %
styles of bats made for the trade, rang
ing in price at retail from 10 cents for a
juvenile article up to $l.50 for an es-
thetc cherry bat
The Hastings factory will use in the
neighborhood of 35o, 900 feet of ash,
1000 feet OF Eastwood, and so, 900 feet
of cherry lumber this season, which
means about 25, 900 gross or 80 car loads
of bats, and the demand may be such
as to increase the output. Another bat
factory at South Bend, Indiana, will con-
sumo about 125, 900 feet of lumber, and
one at Grand Rapids, Mich, rs, 900 feet
more.
The bats made in the East are said to
represent about 10 per cent. of the total
product, and are mainly of a cheap or
der, many of them being made from
pine and oak Including everything,
the estimates made place the amount of
lumber consumed in bat making at from
600 900 10 100000 feet. Giving the
industry the benefit of the doubt, and
figuring the average of two feet to bat,
the figures given at the start are reached
800 600 bats.
The best kind of lumber is required in
making good bats, and the stocks of the
raw material are kept two years in adj
vance, in order to have them thorough
ly dried. Kiln drying is avoided, prin-
cipally on account of the waste entailed
by the method Ii made from the kiln
dried material, great many bats would
check, and they would have to be
thrown out. Hence the precaution is
taken of having the lumber in excep-
tionally good condition as to seasoning
and quality before using it in manufac-
ture.
Taking into consideration the prices
of the medium and higher grade bats,
together with the mere cost of two feet
of lumber and the simple work of turn
ing out the bats, it might strike the cas-
ual observer that there was consider
able money in making bats Yet, if in
the business, a man might find there
was less profit than seemed to be the
case. The lumber must be good, and
must be carried for a considerable time,
while it requires good machinery and
careful workmanship on as nice a job rs
out first-class bat.
At the Hastings factory a large num-
Der of croquet sets and fishpoles are
also turned out, which consume ,500,-
300 feet of lumber Mallets and balls
are made of maple, handles of ash, and
boxes of Eastwood. About 1000, 900
feet of maple are used, something over
300, 600 feet of Eastwood, and the re-
is chiefly heart and lance wood |
for iointed tish-rods.
