One Of the finest and most powerful
tools that mechanical science has yet
achieved has just been finished at Null
house for the French navy. It is two
carriage universal lathe, which is COM
plete machine shop in itself, being capable
Of performing the most varied operations
such as mortising, shaping, boring and
molding-with the most perfect accuracy.
It is wonderfully adapted to the delicate
and complicated working Of pieces for
armor plating alrrets, of helix supports,
Of rudders, Of cranked shafts, of pistons,
&C., for modern war vessels, and it handles
and shapes immense masses of steel almost
as skillfully as the carpenter carves small
blocks Of wood. Its weight is more than
$40 tons, and it is driven by an engine of
twenty-five horse power. Comparison Of
this tool with one Of seventy-six tons,
which was q mechanical marvel some
twenty-five years ago, gives Q striking il
lustration Of the almost incredible progress
Of our generation. Traveller.

ing Barn at Arlington. Nsb.
ARLINGTON, Neb., May Z. "A large
barn on the farm Of Mr.. Freese, about

armed with buckets, axes and ladders,
procured teams and started for the
scene. No one was about the premises,
and search was begun for members Of
the family. Seven bodies were found in

Grateleschen, her three children, Louis
Grateleschen and the old lady Feeze.
Nearly all the flesh was burned from the
bodies. -
Later-The body Of Louis Grotzen, the
hired man, to whom some suspicion was
attached as the author of the fire, was
found near the others among some Of the
horses, making eight victims In oil.

Bulgarian Fabrics.

It Is quite common thing, says an ex-
change, to find in Bulgarian novels, grfmy
with smoke and infested with verrnin,
hangings and dresses that could be sold
for a guinea the square foot in Regent
street, and the color of this stuff Is 90
fine, the material 80 pure and the work so
good and firm that Q little cleaning will
make . 50-year-old embroidery look like
new. Alas, some apostles Of civilization
in the form Of German bagmen have lat
terly taught the Bulgarian women that
they can mix q like cotton with their
woods and use cheaper materials for their
dyes; SO that even the comfortable white
and blue chalaks, which were warm il
winter and light in summer, which kept
put rain and rheumatism, which could be
darned and redarned and worn down to
a thread, are now yielding to textures
which for trade purposes bear the same
name, but Of which the properties have
nothing IN common with the original.-

True.
PHILADELPHIA, May THE Tmespub-
fishes to-day the following triple-leaded
special from New York, which it will en-
dorse as coming direct from the most
authentic sources:
New York, May Al have entirely re-
Liable information that the friends of
BIains lave within the last three days
received direct from him his assent to
an aggressive movement for his renom-
ination for president, and the assurance
that, if nominated in the face Of his
Florence letter of declination, he would
not feel at liberty to decline. A general
and systematic effort has been made by
Blaine's closest friends, such as Chair
man Jones, William Walter Phelps,
Whitelaw Reid, Charles Emory Smith,
and 9th ers,. for two months past to get
Blaine into the attitude of a passive can
didate. Every possible pressure has
been put upon Blaine to get
from him the sdirect assurance
that he will not decline if
nominated, and that assurance mas been
received in this city from Blaine within
the last three days. In very few days
more it will cease to be a secret that
Blaine is in the hands of his friends, as
the Blaine leaders will at once come to
the front and make an aggressive cam
paign for his denomination. The unex-
pected expression in Massachusetts, and
Vermont for Blaine were not accidental,
nor are they unexpected to Mr.
Blaine's friends. When all Of the
anti-Blaine men were posing on their
arms because they regarded Blaine as
out of the fight, the friends Of Blaine
were most energetic in their work in
the two anti-Blaine New England
states, and they got possession Of Yer
mont and Massachusetts while the others
were sleeping in fancied security. It
was the expression Of three hitherto
anti-Blaine New England states that
made Blaine cast aside his doubt and
assent to the opportunities of his friends
for his denomination. 1t is now posi-
tive fact that Blaine is in the field; that
his friends have his assent to a move
ment in his favor, and that he will be
nominated at Chicago if hard work and
plenty of enthusiasm can accomplish it.
