Two New and Rare Metals.

Uralium is new metal, possessing some
very promising qualities, but whether it
will ever be found in sufficient quantities
to be of commercial value is a question for
the future to determine. 1t is next to
silver, the whitest metal known. 1t is as
malleable as the purest platinum, but
much more ductile, and is nearly as soft as
lead. Its melting point is about the same
as platinum, but it is not volatile. It's
specific gravity is POPS, and its molecular
volume, like that of osmium, platinum and
palladium, is 625. Its atomic weight is
1925. 1t has nearly the same chemical
properties as platinum. The metal was
discovered few years since by NJ. Guyard
in some commercial platinum obtained
from Russian ores from the Urai Noun
tains, whence its name.
Indium is a rare and expensive metal
Like the above, it is of brilliant, silver
white luster, which it retains even in moist
air. 1t is very soft and delicate, and easily
scratched. 1t was originally detected in
the zinc blende of Freiberg, by Reichter
and others, in 1865. 1t has been found
since in the fiue dust of the zinc furnaces
of Gosler, but is more easily prepared from
crude metallic zinc than from any of the
original ores. 1t can easily be sublimated
to beautiful brilliant crystalline scales.
The principal feature of this metal is its
excessive cost. 1t is comparatively the
most valuable of known metals, one pound
of it equaling in value eight and one-half
pounds of gold or 135 pounds of silver.
This immense value is based principally
upon its rarity, no doubt, as its practical
value in the arts cannot be great.

WATCH FACTORY BELLE.
The Young Lady VINO is Likely to Win
the Prize.

From the Waterbury Comm Republican
The working girls of Waterbury are no.
toriously the prettiest, brightest and best
dressed in Connecticut. No one knows
this better than the young men of the city.
When the announcement was made by
New York Sunday paper that it would
give 500 locket and necklace to the
most popular factory girl in Connecticut,
there was determination on the part of
many, especially employees of the Water
bury Watch Factory, to bring the prize to
the Brass City. At this factory one can
not help admiring the systematic way in
which the employees went to work to cap
ture the trophy. In the first place $500
was pledged to purchase 1000 votes. Then
each department employing young ladies
voted to see which was the most popular
girl in the department. These votes made
choice of Mamie L. Kelly in the case de-
partment, Myra Holmes in the finishing
department and Hettie Bradley in the
train department. A general vote of the
factory took place Wednesday to see upon
which of the three favorites all the ballots
should be cast. The votes were counted
by Foremen Mcdonald, Barnard aud Ev-
erett of the three departments. The count
showed Miss Kelly to have 1000, Miss
Holmes l,10o, and Miss Bradley $50 The
1000 votes will be cast for Miss Kelly.
The contest is to last about two weeks
longer The jewel is to be exhibited in
Waterbury shortly Merchants are bid
ding for the privilege of exhibiting it.
Money obtained in this way will devoted
to buying votes for Miss Kelly. This lady
was overcome when she heard the result
of the ballot, and had to be taken to her
home in the Brooklyn district in hack.
She is pretty little l9-year old blonde,
and said to be as amiable as pretty. Her
work consists of putting dials on the
watches. With her 1000 votes to begin
on it will be hard to beat her.

ANOTHER CHANCE.
A Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted to
Kemmler, the Murderer.


AUBURN tN W, April 29th.-Kemmler's exc
cutian is postponed United States Circuit Judge
Wallace issued writ of habeas corpus for
kemmler. returnable at Canandaigua June 17th,
and staying execution.
The announcement this afternoon that Judge
Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court, had
issued a writ of habeas corpus in the case of the
condemned murderer, VIM. Kemmler returnabe
June l7th was great surprise here. ormany
days the townSpeople have been on a verge of
expectancy, awaiting an execution by electric
ity for the first time. There has also been in
town 1nnumerable newspaper men. This after
noon at the dinner-tsbie they received the first
intimation when District Attorney Quinby, OF
Buffalo, said there would not be any execution,
and he was going home. The reporters hast
ened to the prison. and after a short time
Warden Durston told them the news. There
was a wild rush cf reporters for the telegram
office, thee blocks away: Attracted by the
out of their houses and stores, and soon there
was long string of men and children running
up the street, while out of doors
ana windows were shouted TO the van
most frequent of which was 'Say, has he been
trouched off yet?" This expression touched
off is the Auburn way of referring to electro
cution. The writ was obtained in New York by
Ex-Assstant District Attorney Roger U. Sher-
man. He had never communicated with
Kemmler and just who employed him cannot
be learned. His connection with the case seems
to be like that of w. Bourke Cochran who a
year ago opposed Bcmmlers execution on the
ground that it was cruel and unusual, and
against the state Constitution. There has been
little doubt that Cochran had some assistance
from the electrical company whose apparatus
was chosen for the execution, the company say
ing it did not want its dynamo used for such a
purpose. The result of the fight in the State
Courts was in favor Of the new law, and since
the final decision nothing has been done until
to-day. Sherman came here to-day in company
with Henry d. Galley, who is the attorney for
several electric light companies Both these
gentlemen refused talk Warden DnrStQn

The shooting was all done by non-union men
who were IN the old stranded boat-house. and
fired upon the fleet of unionists with Winchester
rifles Great excitement prevails More blood
shed IS anticipated. The cause of all the trouble
is that the csnneries are all filed and now have
more fish than they can handle and the fisner-
men are endeavoring to form trust and force
the cannerymen TO pay a big price for what they
do buy. The union demands 81 95 per fish, and
7 he pon-un!on men are now furnishing fish for
3 cents per pound, or about rs cents per fish.

AN EXPLOSION.
Narrow Escape From Death of Three
Persons

Persons.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 29th.-This morning an
explosion occurred in the sewer on Powell
street, at the corner of Jackson, which came
very near causing considerable damage and loss
of life. For several days the inhabitants of the
vicinity of where the explosion took place have
noticed a very strong smell of gas The odor
was particularly noticeable in J. II. Drossers
drug store. on the corner and this morning Mr.
Drossel. his son August, and Charles Hoffman,
plumber, went into the cellar to ascertain
whether there was a leak in the sewer or gas
pipes. The latter were found 10 be all right
so they commenced TO dig in the sewer. After
an opening had been made Hoffman took
candle in his hand and leaned over so as to look
inside. Immediately there was an explosion
Hoffman ard the two Drossels were thrown
backward by the force of the shock, but were
not injured: The corner Of the msn-hole in the
middle of Jackson street was blown off and the
covers of the man-holes on Powell street. from
Clay to Broadway, were loosened. The neigh
bors were greatly alarmed by the noise. and
the street was soon filed with an anxious
crowd of men and women, eager to ascertain
what was the matter. When they found that
no damage had been done, their exl itement
quickly subsidized.
The cause of the explosion was probably the
carelessness of some woIkIngmen who Tut in a
new pipe several weeks ago. tits supposed that
they did not tamp 1t properly and that the gas
escaped from the main into the inside sewer.
When Hoffmsn's lighted candle was brought
into contact with the mixture of gas and air, the
explosion resulted.

Testimony Taken Yesterday Before IL
Investigating Committee

LITTLE ROCK iArk.), April 29th.-The taking
of testimony regarding the theft of the ballot
box in Howard township, Conway county, was
concluded this foreuoon by the Clayton-Breck-
enridge Investigating Committee, and this after
noon the inquiry was begun into the assassina-
tion of Clayton. Robert Pate and old Bentley,
the two men suspected by many with having
committed the crime, were put on the stand
and subjected to rigid examination, They are
the parties to whom the evidence collected by
Pinkerton's agency points. and it was expected
that their examination might bring out some
thing of sensational character. Pate adj
mitted that he was aware that he had been sus-
pected, but protested his innocence.
Bentley admitted his presence at Plummer-
vile when Clayton was assassinated but pre-
tended to give an account of himself during the
time after his arrival there till the shot was
fired.
The testimony of both men was of an evasive
character, and their examination left the terri
BILE crime shrouded as deeply in mystery as
ever. The inquiry into the assassination VIII
