A COMPROMISE
Will Probably Be Effected at the Belmont
Nail Factory.
4 MEETING HELD YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Blake, Of the K Of L. Committee, Makes a
Statement Of His Side.
AFFAIRS SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED.

There is no. much change in the situa'
ton at the Belmont mill. An official Of the
company said last evening:
"We have now three nailers at work in
the annex, and they are running ell the
machines in that department. We also
have applications from some eight or ten
other nailers who will take machines in the
factory propsr We anticipate very little
trouble in getting started up again when
we want to-"
A meeting of the Amalgamated Asaocis-
ton lodge connected with the mill VEG
held yesterday afternoon, and from what
can be learned some action was taken in
reference to the trouble. A member said
last evening:
"Ths Lab .lle is working under the sane
system and we have decided to compIo-
mise the matter at thu Belmont, and il lie
very probable we may return 70 work some
time next week. While We do not Thick
it is right, yet it seems rather strsrge for
one mill to strike against what has besn
allowed for months in another. The mere
fact that the LsBelle tack factory is sepa-
rate from the other factory has no bearing
in the case.

Caves Of BENZ Hassan.

These ancient tombs, excavated in the
rock on the shore of the Nile, arc the
oldest known monuments in Egypt, ex-
ccpting the Pyramids. They are numer-
Gus and spacious, and some of them are
exceedingly interesting. The sculptures
and paintings are of great variety, repre-
senting the occupations and amusemcnts
of the people, and throwing much light
on their modes of life. The paintings
are of various and very brilliant color
ing. The character of the sculptures
which adorn their walls approaches that
found in the tombs surrounding the
Pyramids, but the architecture differs
widely. They are all cheerful-looking
halls, open to the light of day, many of
them with pillarcd porches, and all pos
scssing pretensions to architectural orna-
mcnt. either internal or external. inner

An Episode of Teeth.

T. was about two o'clock Of chill
morning when Mr.. x. presented himself
at the door of doctor in the village OF
w., and after series of laundering
knocks at the door with good deal of
vigorous exercise upon the bell handle,
succeeded in bringing that gentleman to
the window overhead.
"What is it2" asked the doctor.
"Do you pull tecth9" Mr.. x. do

"Then want tooth pulled"

"Come back in the morning." ejacu-
lated Mr.. X. "What do you take me
fora Here I've been in torment for
these two days, and for the last two
hours I've been hunting all over town
after a dentist, and now I'd like to have
the lob done at once if there is any way
to fix it
The dentist at first de1urred, but at
last he consented to come down and get
the tooth out at once; and after due in
terval in which he made his hasty toilet,
Mr.. X. was admitted to the house. The
chill of the night was everywhere, but
X. was too intent upon getting rid OF
the troublesome molar to mind that, and
he was duly installed in the operating
chair and an examination made.
s'Hold on there" X. said, as the den
tist, having satisfied himself which was
the troublesome tooth, took up his for
ceps and prepared for work. 81 want to
take gas. This tooth has given me
about all the pain I can stand from It,"
"Well," the dentist answered, "the
gas is little low, but if you insist l
will give you what there is. 1t will
deaden the pain, though very likely you
will feel it some."
The conventional breathing tube, of
black rubber was produced, and x. pre-
ceeded to inkale for dear life. For q
moment the dentist allowed him to pump
his lungs full from the gas reservoir, and
then, taking the breathing-tube away, he
quickly whipped in his forceps and
whipped out the tooth.

when he was able to get his mouth in a
condition which allowed him to speak.
"Did you?" the dentist asked, SYM
pathetically. "Not much, Ihope2"
"Not so very much," x. replied.
"Still knew when it came"
When, moment later, x. prepared to
pay his bill, and asked the price, he was
surprised to be told sum which was so
small that it seemed that a mistake must
have been made.
"But is that all you ask for admins

"Oh, bless you," was the smiling an
swer, "there wasn't any gas there.

strong stocking filled with sand. The
advantage of this primitive affair is that,
the moment after it has been used, the
sand can be thrown away and the stock
ing kept without exciting any suspicion.
Some are made in the shape of clubs.
The material used is cotton or woolen
cloth, bed ticking, crash, heavy silk,
sausage skins, eel skins, leather, and
even snake skins.
"A number of famous sandbags,
which have been captured by the police,
are worthy Of mention. One was a
handsome eel skin, filled with sand, close
up to the end, and thence with bird shot
TO the end itself. This arrangement
gave the effect of slungshot to the af-
fair and added to the strength of the
arm which welded it the awful effect of
a swift rotary motion.
ssAnother, owned by French murderer,
was of silk, handsomely embroidered
and finished with silk-wound leather
thongs. A third, of Spanish origin, was
of fine sheepskin, so carefully finished as
to be as soft as the best chamois.
1.-THE most impressive quality OF the
sandbag lies in its not abrading the skin
of the person who is struck by it. There
was case only short time ago where a
mans skull had been fractured, and yet
here was no indication of injury, so far
as the cutlele was concerned, not even TO
the medical eye. The skull was very
thick and hard, so that the blow must
have required terrific amount of force,
probably representing the combination
of heavy sandbag and powerful as
sailant,

Where the "Nickels" Come From.

In the Copper Cliff Mine, near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said, more nickel IS
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for, at current prices.
A little branch railway of the main
line of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
four miles in length, leads out to the
mine, which opens into the face ola crag
of the brown, oxidized Laurentian rock,
characteristic of this region. The miners
are now at work at a depth of about
three hundred feet below the surface.
AS fast as the nickel and copper bear
ing rock is hoisted out it is broken up
and piled upon long beds, or ricks, OF
pine wood, to be caleined, or roasted, for
the purpose of driving out the sulphur
which it contains.
The roasting process is of the nature OF
lime kilning or charcoal burning. Each
great bed of ore requires from one to two
months to roast. When roasted, the rock
goes to the principal smelter, powerful
Blast furnace, ''jacketed"-in mining
phrase-with running water, to enable 1t
to sustain the great heat requisite to re-
duce the crude, obdurate mineral to tu-
idity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper. blended
together in an alloy called the ''mat, or
matte, is drawn off at the base
of the furnace vat into borrow pots,
and wheeled away, still liquid and fiery
hot, to cool in the yard of the smelter.
The mat contains about seventy per cent.
of nickel, the remaining thirty per cent.
being mainly copper.
When cool, the conical pot loaves OF
mat can easily be cracked in pieces by
means of heavy hammers. The trag--
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea in Wales and to Ger
many, where the two constituent metals
are separated and refined by secret pro
cesscs which are very jealousy guarded
by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years at Swansea,
working as common laborer in the re-
fning factories in order to procure it.
At present there are produced daily at
the Copper Cliff Mine about ninety pot
loaves of mat, each weighing near four
hundred and fifty pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
four thousand tons of nickel a year

"Sandbagging is not as rare as is COM
monty believed. Criminals, especially
those of foreign origin, carry these in
struments of death quite frequently.
There is, however, seeming periodicity
in their use, just as there is in other
forms of crime. There is something so
brutal, fcrocio,ls and cowardly in sand
bagging that it excites feeling of dis
gust in minds familiarized with crime.
"The odd sandbags described arc but
few of the long list which are discov-
cred by the police. Recently an English
seaman was arrested who was carrying
about as murderous a tool as can be im-
agincd. 1t was set of brass knuckles,
heavier and uglier than usual.
"At the top, opposite the thumb, there
was attached to it a revolver, and at the
bottom Il sharp, double-cdged dirk pro-
iected three inches below the lower line
of the hand Its owner could shoot,
strike or stab in almost the same move
mcnt.
"Another, L cane, is so arranged with
il knife blade in the handle that slight
Jar converts it into a short spear. The
same principle is applied to umbrellas,
parasols and even fans, and enables a
woman to convert her paraphernalia into
a travelling arsenal.
"The principle of the air.cape gun has
been likewise extended in many direc-
tions. We now have an air pistol, as
we'll as disguised derringers and seTolvers
of various sorts, and have them. con-
cealed in as many forms as the cane spear
and umbrella lance mentioned.

property of Colonel OrIof, of the royal
artillery; but go on, my lady; what
other weapon have yon?"
@This," she said, and she laid five
chambered revolver on the desk.
"Ah!" said the hairy man, as he
wrote down his own words; -four
chambers loaded, one recently dis
charged"
He placed the dagger and pistol in
separate packages, sealed them, and
called the officer in charge of the guards
to witness the fact.
These preliminaries being arranged,
the man at the desk called out, as he
wrote the number:
"Cell three!"
Lola started, but reasoning that the
number of the cell and the number she
drew that fearful night might be sim
iply coincidence, she controlled her.
Iself, and wondered where she had heard
that mans voice before.
At the words, @cell three" the low
.browed man. with the bunch of keys
at his belt, put in an appearance, and
4OiSs, AO ooAo.
I "Follow me-"
Turning to the men in the room,
Lola cried out:
"Before I am shut out from the
world, I wish to say in the presence Of
the God who alone can Judge me
Alright, that I am innocent of this aw-
full crime!"
The men looked at one another, and
arched their eyebrows incredulously /;
and the turnkey opened the ponder
Ious oaken doors, with its rusty iron
knobs.
Lola was led down long, dark cor
ridor, but the light was sufficient to-
enable her to see the ashy, haggard
faces peering through the bars of the
cell doors.
Exclamations of pity followed her
from the wretched prisoners, and here
and there she heard a deep, hollow
cough coming from some cell that
must soon hold dead occupant
"This is cell three" said the turn
key, opening an iron door, and reveal
ing O cell that looked like a wild
beasts cave.
She went in, and the man was about
to close the door on her, when she
called to him:
"My father is o prisoner in this
building, but for Gods sake do not
tell him that I am here"
