"The brain worl; on watch. " said a
ieweler yesterday, is about all in the
making of the machines and instruments
used in the manufacture @! the watch.
Each factory has its inventors who are
constantly at work on the machinery,
which is improved every year. The ma
chimes are very costly but They are easily
used. and after a little praeIiCa thc en-
pioyc can feed them, and thousands Of
screws or wheels are turned out in an hour.
There are at least twelve watch fac

American watches excel the English time
pieces. In England Matchmaking is Just
what it was 100 years AFRO. There is 10

are no factories there as in this country,

HUNGRY DEMOCRATS THwARTED In Their Efforts te Get a Lighthouse
 Keeper Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Actipg Secretary Thompson has addressed a letter to the chairman of the Lighthouse board in regard to the case of Keeper Odell of the Cape Henry light station in which he says: The department has received and considered the report of the board of lighthouse officers con vened to-day to consider and report on the case of M. L. Odell, keeper of the Cape Henry light, against whom various charges have been made. It appears from this report that this board of officers found these charges to be unfounded in fact and recommend that the matter receive no further consideration. The department after careful consideration of the matter approves this report, dismisses the charges and returns the papers in the case to take their proper place in the archives of the Lighthouse board. It is stated at the department that this case has assumed the importance of political issue in Virginia and almost the entire Democratic influence of the State has been invoked to secure the removal of the light keeper in question. The department in acting in opposition to this pressure desires to have it stated that MT. Odell is a good and efficient officer and will not be removed simply on account of his pol itics

A New Conducfor,s Mistake.

OTTAWA, Jan. 6.-Further particulars of the collision of freight trains last Wednesday on Lake Superior section of the Canadian Pacific have been received. The trains col lided on trestle bridge between Peninsula and Stewart. The trestIe gave way and the trains tumbled, car after car, into the ravine below, distance of eighty feet. The engine drivers and brakemen, seven in all, were hurled down with the cars and with the ex- caption of one brakeman were instantly kill~ ed. The conductors, who occupied the vans at the rear of the trains, are said to have es- capped. One of the brakemen jumped safely into tree. The engineer Of the westbound train, Charles Atkinson of Brockville, is the only one of the men killed whose name is known. The place where the acci- dent happened is one of the widest and most dangerous parts of the new line. The Horse Shoe, as it is generally called, is an immense series of trestle work over a ravine. It is about three-quarters of a mile long and about 120 feet high in the center. All the cars were filled with freight and every thing was smashed to atoms. The train coming east was loaded with Manitoba grain, thousands of bushels of which are lying all over the ice. The accident is said to be the result of mistake of new conductor.

 ROME, Jan. 6.-The Pope has announced that he will receive the presidents of the English and American colleges in Rome and the British pilgrims on the 10th inst Mon sieur Clifford will make the necessary ar engagements. The Pope's jubilee presents were placed on exhibition ct the Vatican to- day for the first time. The foreign diplo- mats, number of Roman aristocrats and & host of other guests were present. The Pope entered the hall where the presents had been arranged at noon. He was followed by forty eight cardinals and the whole ponti6cal court. His arrival was greeted with great enthusiasm. The Pope took his seat on the throne and Cardinal Schiaffino proceeded to read an address To this the Pope replied. He said his soul was deeply moved by the manifestations of love and vsneration which were reaching him from all parts of the world. He regarded them as evidences of the power of the papacy which the enemies of the church had vainly attempted to deny. The share taken by the sovereigns of the world in the jubilee proved they justly ap- preciated the importance of the papacy. He praised the organizers of the exhibition. The Pope afterwards made prolonged inspection of the presents in company with the cardi- naIs

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-At a meeting of Dr.
 MoGlynn's former psrishioaers tonight reso-
 lutions were adopted in substance as follows:
 Whereas in political harangue in his
 church Sunday last Mgr. Preston grossly mis-
 represented the principles and outraged the
 citizenship of American Catholics by declar-
 ing that if any man would take his faith from Peter, but would not take his politics from
 Peter, he was not good Catholic. Resolved, That we denounce this as an in- suit to all Catholics and we reiterate that the Pope has no title to obedience from Catholics in political affairs.
 Resolved, That we adopt the principle enunciatsd by O'Connell that he would az soon take his politics from the Sultan as from the Pope. Resolved, That as citizens and in the do. main of politics we recognize no authority but the constitution and laws. Addresses denouncing Mgr. Preston, Arch. bishop Corrigan and the palace crowd were made amid loud applause.
