mechanism. The main features are the
clever way In which the rotary motion
of the main spindle is converted into
the reciprocating motion impaired to
the cutter, and the method of putting
the necessary pressure upon the cutter.
First we have steel comb, which is
about two inches broad at the points Of
the teeth, which are slightly curved
underneath. This comb is stationary,
being fixed TO the handle, which is held
in one hand by the shearer when at
work, while with the other he holds
down the sheep. On the face OF
the comb is the cutter. which is trident
shaped and about one and a-half inches
wide. When in operation this cutter
moves to and fro at the rate of about
two thousand vibrations minute, mo-

Ell PAso, Tex, Aug. 26.-Sanday after
noon this city was visited by the heaviest
rainstorm ever known in this section
The streets were rushing torrents of water,
two and in some places three feet deep
Considerable damage was done by the
flooding of ground floors and cellars. At
the same hour there was cloudburst just
across the river on the side of the noun
tain above Paso del Norte, and a mighty
river came rushing down the mountain
side sweeping mountain huts and people
before it. Almost the entire city was
flooded, but the main body of the turbu-
lent water swept into the residence street
and passed through the city, leaving de-
struction in its wake.
Barely Escaped with Life.
Between thirty five and forty residence
houses were leveled to the ground. People
living in the houees swept down by the
food barely escaped with their lives.
They did not have time TO save furniture
or clothing all of which was lost. A
number of promising vineyards were de-
molished, the force of the water be
ing such as to uproot vines and carry
chem away The flood left sixty families
without homes or clothes. Mayor Can

Just this. BY striking they have ncknowl-
edged their allegiance to the knights and
to that body they must look for support.
Not having acted under our constitution
or by our orders we can not help them.
They violated our laws in striking. al
though we coincide that. having subse-
uuently obtained the sanction of the exec
utive board of the knights their actions
were legalized by that body.
A Question for the Future.
aDoes to-day's action close the connec-
ton of the Federation with the Central
striker Mr.. Debs was asked
"That,n he replied, dis question that
cannot be answered at this time. The
council has adjourned subject to the call
of the chair. New developments, compli-
cations or entanglements airs likly to arise
at any time. Some of our firemen, for
insta nee, may be asked to take the places
of the strikers. Should they refuse, then
they may be discharged. In such an event
the services OF the supreme body would
again be called into play"
ParaIyzcd the Local Knights.
Local knights of Labor are paralyZed at
the result of the appeal of their chiefs.
They had confidently expected that the
Federation would rush to Fowderly's as
sistance and through the medium of a
general tie-up endeavor to bring Webb to
terms. The cause of the men on the Cen
trail. they say, is a lost one aud with the
defeat goes the union, the prestige and
the strength of the order.
A Telegram to Powd eriy.
At 6 p m. Sargent sent the following
telegram to Powderly. 1.-The supreme
council adjourned this afternoon after
carefully considering the strike in all its
details. You will, notice the res ult of our de-
alterations in to-night's dispatches, which
it is hoped will meet with your approval.
The committee was unanimous in indors-
ing your proposition and the proposition
of the grand executive board, and most
earnestly hope that the right If which you
