Byrne answered from fifteen to twenty -fve

"How much is 1t ella med that quadruple
engine will save over the triple expansion
enginesp" asked the reporter.
at is claimed that considerable is saved
by this expansion Of steam, and that the
probabilities are that with quadrupe engines
they would use 100 pounds of steam. About
the question OF wear and tear, think that
the chances are that there would be little
more wear aud tear in the high pressure that
in the other, but this would be compensated
for in the saving of coal l think there is
no doubt about that"
In reply to the remarks of the interviewer
in reference to all that has been said about
using oil as substitute for coa', Mr.. Byrne
replied that oil has been tried in England
but with coal at the present prices and the
system not yet perfected it cannot compete
with coal for the present at least. 1t depends
on the locality where the oil is used. If you

heavy oil and there is more chance of success
with it. For instance a vessel trading in
the Black Sea could got oil very cheap, but

lived some Black Sea traders did now use
it and that fair success is reported.
But Mr.. Byine repeated, with coal at itS
present low prices there is not much to be
gained even with the successful use of oil.
He added that in his op nion no better re-
ults could be obtained by the use Of oil in
the place of coal. Mr.. Byin9 did not know

You can now buy coal III the bunkers al

was at thirty shillings ton there might
have been difference. 1t occurs to me thar
If oil were generally used aad the steamers
all adopted it, up would go the price of oi

and demand. When coal is high in prict
and oil low there is an inducement to use
the latter, but don't think there is much
probability of coal going up for some time

Wiscvnsin's Wisdom.

The reelection of Governor Rusk in Wiscon'
sin by large majority is an event in which
the whole country can take pleasure. The
position he took in the Socialstlc disturban-
ces Of last May made him the most conspicu
ous representative of law and order who ask
ed the suffrages of the people at the recent
election. His endorsement is personal tri-
umph for himself and an emphatic verdict
from the people that they have no sympathy
with Anarchism and Socialism.
Wisconsin not only secures most efficient
executive head by the reelection of Cover
nor Rusk, but it also suggests to the Repub-
lican party that it need not 60 beyond her

1t is only too obviously due our esteemed
contemporary Epery Erentng to notice its
public spirited enterprise in affording the
citizens of Wilmington such generous aud
complete facilities for obtaining full and

The immense boa,d. several hundred
square feet of superfcies, was covered with
election news from all over the country.
The enterprise was a complete service,
well done, and no doubt thoroughly appre-

A Question for Legislative Consid-
Grafton.

Grafton.
Philadelphia Times.
The shocking railway accident in Wiscon-
sin. which resulted in the literal roasting of
not less than twenty human beings, again
calls public attention to the fact that with
conyeniences of modern railway travelling no
one has yet invented car that will not
burn, nor have railway companies, as rule,
got beyond the coal stove and the oil lamp
as means of heating and lighting passenger
cars. For more than quarter of century
wrecked trains have become funeral pyies
and the accident at Rio was in all essential
particulars like those at Carr's Rock aud at
Ashtabula, although the former happened
moro than a score of years ago.
The ordinary passenger car is a tiAderbox.
Bull of dry and infiammabe woods aud the
! paints and varnishes with which it is finished
| as gunpowder, no sooner does fire come in
contact with any portion of its inner surface
than it il wrapped in flames instantaneo eously.
As the passengers as rule find themselves
uuabe to get out of tue car and as no one
eau break into it, the incineration of every
person in a wrecked railway car in which
coal stoves and oil lamps furnish heat and
light, is mat er of very few moments.
Some Of the more progressive railways while
still clinging to the infammsble car, havj
adopted systems of steam or hot air heating
especially for their best and most liberally
patronized trains. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether there is a single road in the country
that does not still use the stove on its cheap
er trains or its branch lines.
The success of the leading roads In using
safe system of heating their best cars dem.
onstrates that such system is feasible every
where. But railway companies often con-
suit their finances more than the comfort and
safety of their patrons. The coal stove and
the oil lamp are cheap. Steam heating and
electric lighting are expensive. The cheap
and dangerous system is adopted because
the law does not compel the use of safer and
more expensive methods, 1t might be well
for Legislatures in every State to compel by
law the adoption of the safer methods. The
horrors Of the Rio disaster should not bs
possible in the future. 1t is and will be i'm.
possible to guard against all railway acc-
dents, but it certainly is not necessary that
a passenger train thrown rom the track
SHOULD become fiery furnaSe roasting and
char ng the unfortunate passengers who
/ are hopelessly imprisoned within its dersiled
coaches.

Wesley M. Il. Church.

The ceremony Of laying the corner stone
Of the new Wesley Methodist Episcopal
Church is arranged for three o'clock this
afternoon. The location is at the corner
Linden and Jackson streets.
The exercises win be such as are usual
upon an occasion OF this nature. The pas
to-, the Rsv 5. L Gardner will give his
torical sketch of the efforts of his flock from
the early date of the conception Of the new
church structure to the present moment.
Presiding elder, the Rev. Chas. Hill, will
perform the ceremony of laying the corner
stone, and addresses will be made by the
Rev. Dr. Todd, Grace N. E. Church, and
the Rev. E. L. HI bblrd of B and, wine. The
other Methodist ministers of the city will
take part in the ceremony as will also Wes-
ley Sunday School. The latter will make
their off, ring in o" the construction, "a col
| lection also will be taken up for that pun
pose.
The project of the erection of this church
originated with the Sunday school members
as far back as the second Sunday of 1885.
Mr.. Jabez Hodson, it's first Superintendent
was the pioneeer leader in the undertaking.
| Mr.. Hodson and the few who associated
themselves with him in this good work had
their first defuite organization over gro
Avenue. The start was made with about
twenty scholars and half that number OF
teachers. The school sprang quickly up in
to strong life. Mr.. Hodson retired from is
superintendency at the termination of its
first year of existence in 1886, when he was
followed by the present active Superintend-
ent, Mr.. Howard L. George, who now has
upon his school role 100 scholars. The
church was organized June 1885, when the
present pastor, the Rev. s. L. Gardner was
called to the pastorate. The church lot
cost $1,000 viii h is paid for, and measures
90195 feet. II is to be brick edifiee, costing
wh.n complete about s12 900. The plans
show very handsome ecclesiastical struc-
ture, measuring 5Ox70 feet, with a seating
capacity of $50. For the present the lower
story only will be erected which will be suffi-
cent for the present purposes of church and
Sunday school. The church membership
stands at about 20.
Including the four mission churches Of
Madeley, Epworth, Kingswcod and Silver
brook the Methodist churches of this city,
Scott, Asbury, Brandy st. Pauls, Grace,
Union, Mt. Salem, and Wesley have a seat

UnrelentiBg Justice.

The closing chapter in the trial of the
Chicago anarchists and bomb throwers at
Chicago is significant one.
Last week Attorney Salomon, counsel for
the anarchists, appeared before Judge Gary,
armed with a stack Of law books, and asked
to be heard on the motion for new trial
based on the documents submitted to the
court some days since. Judge Gary per-
emptorily refused to listen to a renewal of
the argument, and Mr.. Salomon withdrew.
This is the end of the incident. Those
who took the law in their own hands will
perish by the law.
The whole history of the case, in it's bear
ings upon socialistic propag andism, furnishes
solid lesson to the extremists of that class
Of social teachers, the lesson they need most,
that is, of the compreh ensiveness Of the flee
institutions of this free land, and inclusiyely
of free-handed, unmpaitial justice.
Judge Gary exemplifles tie unqualified
sentiments of orderly conservative Ameri-
canism-which is and aught to be recognized
as the highest condition of civilization ex-
tant. Unless order exists and the exactest
obedience to law, social existence is an i'm
possibility. 1t is harsh to have to realize
that human life is sacrificed to demonstrate
the necessity Of this axiom, but, the
alternative is obvious and the transgressors
must hang.

Senator Gray and Oleomargarine

Senator Gray and OleOmargarine.
The Legislature of the State of Vermont,
last week, passed an oleomargariue bill.
1t prohibits the sale and manufacture of
spurious butter under fine OF $500. 1t alsn
prohibits It's use in hotels. eating houses and
boarding houses, under similar penalty,
unless the owner thereof exhibits placard
with letters three inches large, "Oleomarga-
rine used here" Such persons are not to BE-
held lab under the act.
Vermont is falling in line with other local
tiles in its condemnation of this nefarous
business.
What has the Hon. George Gray whose
ambition is to represent the State of Della
ware at Washington, to say about his per-
sistent support of this condemnable trade
which aims at killing the staple industries
of the agricultural districts in Delaware. He
is invited now 80 stand up and tell his con-
stituents of this State why he endorsed the
claims of the oleomargarine manufacturers
in the Senate, and is respectfully asked to
explain his position in connection with the
farmers and dsirymen Of Kent, Sussex, and
New Castle County.
