cast iron, with spokes like an ordinary
carriage wheel, have broken and the fly
ing pieces have endangered the lives of
the men at work near by. The Messrs.
Scott & Bro determined to have one that
would stand the strain and with that
end in view put the work in Mr.. Wit
worth's hands. He made the pattern,
and cast the moulding, which when it
came from the case weighed 760 lbs, a
solid wheel, and better piece of work
never came from foundry. 1t was fitted
to the shaft at McQuilkin's machine
shops, and is by the time this is in print
about ready to 90 to work. The second
piece of work is the making of the chill
ed iron burrs, for the burr mill, also used
for the reduction of South Carolina rock.
These are cast in large round iron plates,
the faces OF which are corrugated much
after the fashion of the face of a mill
stone. They are as hard as the hardest
steel. in fact steel will not cut them. The
third piece of work was the casting, from
patterns made by Mr.. Witworth, of all
the parts of mill, in which the burrs
mentioned above operate which was set
up by McQuilken and is now about ready
for operation at Scott Il Bros factory.
The order for the burrs was first given to
a Wilmington foundry, but they could
not do the work. and as Mr.. Witworth
declared his ability to cast them. the
whole work (mill and alb was given to
him. The job was a difficult one and its
successful completion is big card for
the Elkton foundry. The mill is patent
ed by Louis B. Springer, of Wilmington
and this is the first one he has set up. If it
succeeds it will create revolution in the
making of machinery for the reduction
of South Carolina rock.

A GOOD SHOW.
SncA ia W. w. Coles Grand COmbina-
nation of Attractions.

At both the afternoon and evening en-
tertainments of Coles circus yesterday
the canvas was packed to its utmost ca
pacity. The menagerie was the first
point of attraction, and the many curiosi
ties were inspected with pleasure and
interest. The circus programme was both
extensive and varied. the double rings
being occupied simultaneously by grand
exhibitions. The most startling feat was
the aerial bycicle act which was marvel,
GUS specimen of daring and skill The
two wheeled vehicle was propelled by an
intrepid rider backwards and forwards on
rope stretched but few feet under the
ceiling of the tent, while suspended from
it was double trapeze, on which lady
and gentleman performed the usual feats
rs il waved to and fro. Stopping the
vehicle on its dizzy height. the rider
gradually raised himself until he finally
balanced himself on his hands on the top
of the bicycle, and then resumed his seat
in safety, the audience watching the dar-
ing feat in breathless suspense, and APP
plauding heartily its successful perfor
nance. The roller skating was finely
executed, and the comic antics at the end
were side splitting. The leaping corps,
headed by Frank Gardner, the champion
of the world, was an attractive feature.
The ceiling walking was quite thrilling
and caused many to shudder for fear of
an accident. The trained dogs were ex
cellent, and caused considerable merri-

back rider, is excelled by none, and his
performance gave The usual satisfaction.

Historical Collection of Shoes
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

A singular addition has just been made
to the Cluny Museum. 1t was the curious
passion. of the great engraver, Jacqueamard
10 collect the boots and shoes of all times
and countries, and in gratifying this special
taste he was al once both connoisseur and
artist. lie knew the actual value of these
cuIiostieS, and he also knew how useful
they would bc TO artists whose subjects
Were taken from earlier periods in history
When "a man has perfected his collection
but two courses are open to him-to break
it up or to leave it to the nation Jules
Jacquemard did the latter, and the gallery
just opened in the Cluny Museum is with
out rival in its completenessand its inter
est. The heavy top boots and leggings
of the warriors of the Middle Ages are
here, evidencing that abundance of
grease and absence of Day and Martin"
which Carlyle so insisted on as a charac-
t site of Frederick the Greats war Gus
tome. Other cases are full of little slip
pers and highheeIed shoes of the beauties
of the eighteenth century. From this
C election it would seem that the ladies boCt
as it was worn few years ago, bnttoned
up some inches above the ankle, and, in
effect acting as a bandage round the low
part of the leg. was not very popular, and
that wether from motives of vanity or
hygiene. the district round the ankle was
allowed the advantage of free circulation
We have ilatterly reverted to this excel
lent fashion, but if some collectors were a
hundred years to present our South Ken
sington Museum with a collection of En-
GtiSh shoes of the nineteenth century, it
would be found that heels are still in an
tagonism to health as they were in the
eighteenth.

To morrow the new superintendent of
water works Mr.. Joseph Fl. Kerr, will com
mence his duties He is a practical
engineer, acquainted with all kinds of
machinery, and there is no doubt but
that he will make an excellent superin-
tendent. There has been great deal of
malicious talk in regard to Mr. Kerr by
some of his sore hearted opponents, and
few disgruntled newspapers, but further
than that, nothing is said against his
qualification for the position. The two
engineers, who were engaged by Mr..
Cramer, have sent in their designations,
and consequently Mr.. Kerr win appoint
two new assistants The retiring en-
gineers appear to entertain the idea that
no one can run the water works engines
but them, and by them stopping. the
engines will have to be shut down. This |
is very foolish notion, which will be |
soon dispelled. We understand Mr.. Kerr |
will appoint Messrs. Pierce and Cox for
his assistants, which is very good |
selection. Mr.. Pierce was formerly |
engineer on the steamer Viola, which |
piled between here and AndalusIa, and |
which was destroyed by fire. Capt. |
Pierce's record as an engineer is well |
known, and needs no recommendation |
from any one. 1t is only necessary to
add that when Mr.. Cramer was appointed /
of the water works, he
MIR. Cramer) was acting as second en-
gineer under him on the steamboat A
great many stories have been set afioat,
in regard to Mr.. Cramer tampcring with
the machinery, and fixing the engines
SO they would not work when he retired
as superintendent. These are mere idle
yarns, started by gossiping tongues Mr..
Cramer knows he would not be guilty of
such an act. To show the falsity of
hese reports we might add that Mr.
Jramer told Mr.. Kerr this morning that
he would leave everything in good shape.
