STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET
COAST DEFENCE.

It has long been evident that it would be poor economy to adopt system of coast defence while the changes in methods of attack and defence were so numerous and frequent. The wisdom of this is freshly illustrated every day, so to speak. The latest novelty is that suggested by Mir. An derson, the head of the engineering firm which has contracted with the government to build the lighthouse on Outer Diamond shoal at Cape Hatteras. His proposition is to sink caissons upon the sandy shoais which exist at the mouth of nearly all our rivers, and upon them to erect forts of 300 feet in diameter, bnilt of solid concrete with walls 50 feet thick with a bomb proof armor of steel over the interior. It is claimed that fort so constructed would be practically indestructible by any kind of cannon or torpedo, and beside the artillery mounted would afford base of operations for torpedo boats fixed on dir gible torpedoes. Aside from their impreg- inability, the great merit of the proposed Notifications would be their proximity to and consequent command of the channel, and their location if desired at a consider able distance from the city to be pro- tected.
 This suggestion deserves attention. It will do to talk about until something bet ter comes up, It will not do to wait too long before adopting some system of coast defence. but there is no danger in sight

BRUSSELS CARPETS.

It will be long time before the working of the new tariff law is understood. One of the industries that will be affected by it is the carpet industry. The new law has made an increase of eight cents per yard in the stock used in making Brussels carpets. Washed wools from India and the Mediter- ranean are used chiefly, and the manufac turers' problem now is to bring in these wools unwashed and so avoid the extra duty. It will be a task to change the GUS toms of the foreign wool growers, but it is believed that it can be done, and the work of washing the wools turned over to American labor. There are about 1 1,250 Brussels looms in the carpet mills of this country, and the total product is about 12,O00,0 yards. Philadelphia has 492 looms in operation, Massachusetts 544, Connecticut 107, New York 97 and New Jersey 10. The Massachusetts mills make the best quality, owing to the use of the best improved machinery.
 It has been reported that Brussels car pet trust was about to be formed and the price of carpets was to be advanced twen- ty-five or thirty per cent. The Boston Ad- vertiser has investigated this report and finds very little in it. The only basis foI the report is that three large Brussels con. cerns in Philadelphia that have been run ming each other have combined their in terests, and will stop selling carpets below cost, as they have done the past year. Th' highest grade carpets, made in the world says the Advertiser, come from mills locat ed in the State of Massachusetts, and an, combination of the carpet mills of New En gland with those of the Middle States which produce inferior grades, would b impossible owing to the different condi tions under which the business is carried

TRAIN wRECKERs AGAIN.
Narrow Escape from Disaster on the
Boston and ALBANY

An attempt was made to wreck the St
Louis express on the Boston & Albany rail
road recently. As the train was descending
steep grade from Dalton TO Pittsfeld,
Mass, Engineer Benjamin Evans and hi,
fireman felt sudden shock. As nothing
was seen on the track the engineer oonclud-
Cd to 90 on TO Pittsfeld.
When the train stopped at this station an
investigation was made, and II was found
that a small chestnut sleeper was tightly
wedged under the cowcatcher and Just
in front OF the forward wheels Of the
engine. The inspector who examined
the wheels OF the train at Pittsdeld dis
lodged the sleeper with a sledge hammer,
and Station Agent Waterman took It imme-
diately to his room on the second floor of the
depot. The matter was kept as quiet as pos.
sible, the railroad OIL tials not caring to make
1t public. The fact that the obstruction was
placed on the track was Immediately tele
grsphed TO Boston, and detectives are now
at work on the case.
The obstruction dslodged the signal blocks
along the road, especially In the Pittsfeld
yard, and II is considered a perfect marvel
that It did not strike upon something to stop
It, so the whee's OF the engine would pass
over 1t, and thus wreck the train. The pas.
sengers on the train did not know of their
narrow csCane.

Harvesting Broom Corn.

The longest brush of broom corn
which is of the best quality, is known
as "hurl," and brings the highest price
in the market. This forms the outside
of the broom. The next grade is
called "covers," which covers the
"underwork" or body of the broom.
1t is possible for the cutter, by negli-
gencc, TO reduce piece of "hurp to
piece of "underwork" by not giving
the brush sufficient stem.
When the brush is cut and partially
sundried it is hauled to tho sheds. The
horses drawing the wagon "straddie"
the vacant table and the broom Is
handed up to the driver from either
side. 1t is passed through the
"scraper," which threshcs the seed
from the brush, which is then taken
to the dry house and spread out in
layers on the sticks or shelves. When
the brush is dry ii is pressed in bales
of about two hundred and fifty pounds
each and marketed.
A fortune awaits the person who
can successfully utilize broom corn
seed. An acre of corn produces from
forty to fifty bushels of seed, which
seems TO have no special value except
for planting. The green seed makes
good beer, but tho process is too ex-
pcnsivo to be profitable. The dry seed
"pops" like popcorn, but it has bit,
ter taste. The green seed is valuable
as fertilizer, but this rich land need,
no enriching. The farmers feed it Il
growing stock, but it will "dry up" {
mich cow and give a horse tho
heaves. - Chicago News.

A Brick House Under Sail.

An extraordinary craft lay at anchor
on Sunday morning in the mouth of
the Great Kills, Staten Island. The
fishermen gazed at her in amazement.
She is somewhat primitive in form,
for it is evident that her designer took
her lines from the model of Noah's
Ark. But OH deck she departs perhaps
little from the original in the build
ing which is erected there. This
building is red brick house, but it is
said that the bricks are made Of wood
TO keep the vessel in strictly orthodox
lines. In appearance the thing is a
schooner-rigged house, one of the
queerest looking affairs ever seen with
sails.
But the strangest thing about her is
her speed. She can travel at rapid
rate, although she is simply huge
scow. On Sunday afternoon during a
fierce and puffy Northwestern, when
everything was double reefed, she
came out of the Kills flying her top
sails, and the way she walked Off made
the shippers of the oyster fleet stare al
each other. Her captain, or landlord
as the case may be, is certainly the
proprietor of a fast establishment
When leaving the Kills she passed
within hailing distance of boat with
crew of jolly anglers on board. No

The Adams Said to be About Absorb

Boston, Newport and Providence are full
OF vague rumors that the Adams Express
Co. has contaminated big deal, by which
they come into control of the New York &
Boston, Earle & Prew's, and the United
States Express Co.'S.
Notwithstanding denlals by the various
managers, 1t Is believed that there Is some
foundation for the report, and that the New
York e. Boston, and Earle & Prev, are likely
at an early day to pass into tho control OF
the Adams Express Co.
At Newport when the express officials
were questioned regarding the deal they de-
MED 1t, but 1t Is said that there is ample evil
dence that such deal Is in progress, il not
actually contaminated. Among other things
It il stated that e. A. Taft Of the New York
& Boston has been In close consultation
with the Adams officials In Newport during
the past week.
Mr.. j. W. Baldwin Of the American Ex-
press Co., was seen at his house at Allstou,
Mass. He said: "AlthOugh that is a report
that has been circulated many times, still, l
think there is probability that deal is in
progress between the Adams Express Co.
and the New York and Boston, Earle e.
