terday caused large increase In the usual
Sunday number Of drunken mon to be on the
streets last night. Among them were many of
the soldiers belonging to the Welsh regiment
doing garrison duty here A number OF citizens
got into drunken row with the soldiers, dur
ing which the latter bayoneted to death ono
OF the former, q man named Peter Grant. The
commotion attracted crowds of men to tho
scene. Whom the civilians realized that one Of
their number had been killed they became fu.
rious, and fell upon the soldiers with such
force that tho latter were compelled to
beat hasty retreat to their barracks The
mob followed them up, but being threatened
with powder and ball it they attempted to
force an entrance to the barracks, they COIL
tented themselves with smashing the Win
dows OF the barracks with stones The OK
cltement in the city lasted all night and every
soldier met in the streets was attacked. Some
struggling soldiers were fearfully handled
being stoned, beaten, and kicked until url-
conscious. Those who escapol mob violence
did it by fleeing to the barracks or police sta
tions for refuge. Two privates were arrsstcd
on suspicion of being guilty OF Grants mur-
der. number of civilians profess to be abe

The rage Of tho populace was so great this
morning that it was deemed best to transfer

This was done Immediately, AMI as tho SOL
dicrs marched from the barracks to the rail
way station surrounded by policemen, mob
followed them. hooting and stoning the SOL
diers Several Parnclite members of parIla-
ment have telcgraphed that they will bring
the matter before the government and de.
mand an immediate inquiry into tue outrage.
1t is generally beloved that the soldiers began
the row.
The Orange celebration at Carrick Hill,
Ireland, was also tho occasion of considerable
riosing, during which several policemen
were injured. Twenty arrests were made.
In Hertfordshire, England, similar rioting
occurred.

Seneral Howard, commanding the Depart

from Salt Lake City, in which piace
he spent the Fourth Of July. He says
there is great apprehension there over the,
bad feeling existing between Geutiles and
Mormons. The situation has assumed graver-
proportions and has been greatly intensified
by the insult offered by the Mormons. to our
flag. The end Is not yet, and serious trouble
may ecctar at any hour on the slightest pre-

ment has made preparations for It.
BY order OF General Howard the troops
that were to leave Fort Douglas and Fort
Laramie for Kansas to suppress the Cbey-
ennes have been retained at their posts. A COL
lision between Mormons and GenGles Is looked
for, says q dispatch, and should the former
attempt to repeat any such performance as
they carried out on the Fourth Of July there
will probably be bloodshed.
The Mormons in Salt Lake are all armed.
On the Fourth Of July they gave evidences
Of this by freely fourishing revolvers In the
faces Of Gentiles and defying and insulting
them. Backed by the many Thousands who
will be in Salt Lake on anniversary day, they
no doubt will be inclined to be moro defiant
and insulting than before and will invite

An electrician asserts that in bodies in
which life is not extinct the temperature

The French society for the encourage
ment of national industry has awarded
the prize for the discovery of useful
new alloy to the NJ. Manhes. The. alloy
is prepared by mixing three parts of cop
per with one OF manganese, and adding it
in small quantities to the molten copper,
after refining and just before casting.
AS copper 80 treated with manganese is
only very slowly acted upon by sea-water,
it is capable of very important applica-
tions.

Knitting Machines.

The art of knitting stockings, asserts
the Chicago Inter- Ocean, is said to have
originated in Scotland about the close of
the fifteenth century. In less than one
hundred years it gave rise to such an in
dustry that on the first attempt to apply
machinery to tin the invention OF the
stocking frame by William Lee in 1899
the short-sighted government refused
letters patent to the new invention on
the plea that it would destroy the mar.
ket for hand made goods and ruin thou
sands of stocking-knitters. Lee took his
machine to France and established a fac
tory at Rouen, but he was soon driven
from this place by political troubles, and
died on his way to England. having
rcapcd nothing but loss from his valua-
BILE invention. His brother took it up,
secured patent for it, and cstab-
lished stocking factory in Noting
hamshire, England, which has ever since
been the centre of the stocking
manufacture in England. The Lee
machines were introduced in this coun-
try in the eighteenth century, first in
Philadelphia and Germantown, then in
New York city and other places. The
adaptation of the machine to power was
first accomplished by Timothy Bailey, of
Albany, in 1881, and the first machine
thus run was at Cohoes, N. Y, in 1882.
The original stocking frame produced a
straight strip OF web of any length de-
sired, which was cut up and formed into
the shape of stocking; later, it is not
known exactly when, this was improved
upon by frame producing circular
web, TO be cut off in proper lengths and
shaped. The knitting machine is very
complicated in its mechanism, though the
simple principle of forming loops in sue
cession on q single thread, each one
locked by that which follows it, is
the one essential of its work. There
are q number of machines in use, each
one distinguished by the kind Of
needles they use, and also by the man.
,ner in which these are arranged, whether
on straight horizontal line, all pointing
the same way, or around an open hori.
zontal circle. all pointing toward the
center. The latter are known as the
rotary rourd machines. Every needle
is hooked at the end, so as to hold the
thread for each loop, while the loop
previously formed on the same needle
slips back on the shank as the needle is
pushed forward, and on its return runs
over the hook and off the end. In the
straight frames the work is done first
across the needles in turn in one direc.
tion and then back in the other, and SO
on; but in the rotary round machines
the needles are carried constantly round
in the same direction, each one taking
up the thread in turn. The machines
made for family use are all simpler than
these for factory work, are worked by q
crank, or treadle, are much smaller, and
use fewer stitches.

The Effect of Wind on Snlt CRYSTALS

Coarse salt is made in the West In.
dies by the solar evaporation Of sea water.
The places chosen for its production arc
selected on account of the extraordinary
saline strength of the water there. The
water is allowed to run into shallow
ponds direct from the ocean, and when
proper depth has been obtained, gen
orally two or three feet, the entrance to
the pond is closed and the water is cvap'
grated by the sun and winds, and de-
posit of salt is left. 1t requires about
four months to cvaporate three feet of
water. The salt is then gathered into
piles ready for delivery. Its quail
ity depends almost entirely upon the
cnprices of nature. A dry and windy
season will produce large and hard
crystals, the most desirable characteris-
tics of coarse salt, while if little wind
blows the salt is fine grained and poor.
