minute was maintained for about ten miles
by three-ton motor of the Elect: Auto

e0ua three miles minute on a straigh
track. David G. Weems, the inventor
conducted the experiments. The company
will bull at once a five mile circular track
ON Long Island to demonstrate the practi-
cability of their electric passenger system
and also the automatic system which was
tried the other day, and is intended only
for light express packages, such as mail

it the greatest conception since the tee

\ Mystery of the Camera.

A dispatch from Victoria, B. c.. saws
that Prof Willoughby, who has visited the
Alaskan coast for many years, short time
ago visited Muirs Glacier and took shot
at 1t with his camera. He was startled bv
a most remarkable result 1t was the
phantom Ct a great city, with rows of high
warehouses. factories with tall chimneys,
stately residences and elegant church
spires. Various were the conjectures as to
The locality from which the shadow was
evolved. Vi toria, Seattle, Portland and
San Francisco were all suggested, but none
met the requirements. At last French
Canadian recognized the Windsor hotel,
the dome of the new Catholic cathedral
near tie hotel, and Notre Dame with Mt.
Royal in the distance. The MYSTERIOUS
city was the phantom of Montreal. nearly
1900 miles away. The professor has HAD

The Date of Execution OF Mrs. Maybrick
Fixed,
Monday. August Goth. has been fixed
upon as the day for the execution of Mrs.
Maybrlck, who was last week convicted at
Liverpool of poisoning her husband. 1t is
noticeable that the popular agitation for q
reprleve for the condemned woman swells
III volume like growing river. The
newspapers throughout the land are
printing miles of letters from the
excited public. who are retwing the
case, and even then have to apologize be-
cause they cannot find room for scarcely
a fraction of what is sent them
Public sentiment against the verdict is so
nearly unanimous now that the only ques-
ton seems to be between petltioning for
reprieve and absolute pardon. There is a
strong sentiment that the execution of
Mrs. Maybrick, under the circumstances
on which she was convicted, would simply
be revival of capital punishment for the
III OF adultery. English justice in cases
OF this kind is very swift. Unless re-
prieve is granted the condemned woman
will probably be in her grave before the
middle OF September. The sheriff is only
require to let three consecutive Sundays
elapse be;Seen the conviction and the ex-
ecutlon.
VANITY Far says that Mrs. Maybrick
has received several offers ofmarriage since
her conviction. Mrs. Tussaud has got the
woman's figure in wax. and people are
throngius to see it. The English papers

THE AUSTIN BRICK.
SOME FACTS THAT CAUSE THE
HEARTS OF THE MANAGERS

TO REJOICE.
The directors of the Austin Press Brick
company held meeting in this city last
Thursday afternoon. At that time they
were able to consider some facts and
figures that afforded them extreme gratiti

Until the present time the business has
required large amount of experimental
work to get everything IN the best pos
sible running order. The machinery best
adapted to this particular clay had to be
determined by actual test. Their ability
to ill contracts has been curtailed by the
lack of an adequate stock on hand to
select from.
Now al this is changed. The season
Of waiting is at an end and those who
have been working so long feel that the
time ofrewarl for their constancy is close
at hand. The company has now about
1000, 900 bricks on hand and are turning
them out at the rate of ten TO twelve
Thousand per day. The satisfactory part
Of this is ON account of the perfection OF

that the Austin Pressed Brick are getting
