The case of Sadie Davis. little daughter

The case of Sadie Davis, little daughter
of Samuel Dayis, of New Castle. is attracting
considerable attention in medical circles here.
For several years she has been in the habit of
falling into frances, lasting from II to "A hours
during which period she lies in eomatose
state, to all appearances dead, with the excep-
tion of very faint breathing. Thursday night
of last week she was taken with one of the
spells, lying motionless over 65 hours. Her
state is unaccompanied with fever, and is all in
all puzzle to the medical fraternity.
The particulars of the shooting affair at
Coalvilie have been given to us as follows
Anderson was on his way from Coalville to
Gomersal with bottle of whisky in his pocket,
when he was overtaken by Smith and Williams,
who wanted drink. He would not give it
to them and tried to run away from them, but
they overlook him and jokingly demanded both
his whisky and money. Ande rson took this in
earnest and LAYING down some tools he was car
rying. pulled a small pistol out of his pocket
and began firing. One shot struck Williams
in the back and passed around rib, cutting
the skin but otherwise not injuring him. The
sentiment of the vicinity is said to be in favor
of Anderson.
In another place in this paper will be seen
an account of Klingler's Flour Mill. This mill
is said to be the only complete roller mill IN
this State, and it is credit to this town and
would be to any other town, and Mr.. klingler
deserves great credit for getting together so
very complete an establishment. He now has
in his mill fourteen sets of rollers, through
every one of which the wheat berry (or at least
the hull passes-the flour being dropped on
the way. These with thirteen bolts and hve
purifers-all large pieces of machinery-and
the cleaning, packing and other machinery,
fill the mill completely from basement to attic
His mill now has a capacity of 200 barrels, or
800 sacks per day of "a hours. All the flour
that he ships to the Eastern markets is put in
barrels, so that if necessary it can be exported
They won't have flour in sacks there. King
ler's "Sea Foam" -four grades with the very
best there and there is little, if any better flour
made in the country. There is no flour brought
into Butler at present, that can compare with
the "Sea Foam"
The ready made clothing business of this
country has become an immense affair. Ac-
cording to the census of 1880 the manufactures
of mems clothing in this country for that year
amounted to over two hundred millions of dol
lars, and of this amount the product of New
York city, the great clothing market of the
continent, was nearly one-half. There are
very few people who realize the extent of this
industry or the reduction of prices that has
come from competition in the trade and the
use of improved machinery. 1t is curious
fact that although there is duty of "forty
cents pound, and in addition thereto thirty.
five per centum ad valorem" on ready made
clothing, and about the same on woolen cloth,
ready made clothing is sold as cheap in this
country as it is in England. We now make as
good cloth in this country as they do in Europe,
and by the use of improved machinery can
make clothing as cheaply as they do in Europe
with their cheap labor. In the large factories
in New York the cutting is done by steam, and
the sewing given out to contractors. The
steam cutters cut through several thicknesses
of cloth at the same time and it takes five men
to fold the cloth and mark the top pieces, to
keep one man busy cutting.
