THE BURGLARS GAZETTE.

Clippings from the Columns OF the Latest
"Long-Felt Want"
A new trade journal reached our Office
last week. Nowadays nearly every
trade and profession is represented by q
paper, but the journal referred to
above represents a profession which has
heretofore struggled along without an
organ. Its title is the Burglars Gazette.
and, as its name suggests, it represents
the burglars.
Why they should send copy to the
Siftings Office is more than we can I'M
derstand, and we feel hurt at the insin-
uation. We may not be pink and white
angels, but we will be bowed If we will
stand coolly by and be called burglars.
In order to give our readers a fair idea
of the Burglars Gazette, we clip the fol.
lowing from its columns:
every live burglar should subscribe
to the Burglars Gazette. 1t is the rec
ognized organ of the profession, and the
editorial on the seventh page, entitled,
How to Quiet House Dogs Is worth ten
times the cost Of subscription"
"WANTED-A sober, honest pal. Must
have experience in the banking bust
ness and have a good kit of tools. Address
Sharkie, this Office. ow."

man, Kid is away up in his profession.

his industry. We predict for him a

A CURIOUS instance of the sometime
ill effect of hu nor is noted in Massachu-
sets. There is small city named Chel-
sea near Boston. For no apparently
conceivable reason the localism dead as
Chelsea" as applied to any place or any
person more than ordinarily dead,
sprang up and became established in
current thought. Now the Chelsea folk
have been driven in self defense to con-
template seeking from the legislature
permission to change the name of the
city. They say that the dead as Chel'
sea" witticism prejudices people against
the place, depresses the price Of real
estate and otherwise operates to their
personal and municipal discomfort.
Here we have the singular spectacle of a
city killed by an epigram.

DANGERS OF COAL MINING.

The recent explosion in an English
coal mine, which caused the death of u
large number of miners, seems to have
been due to the recklessness of one of
the miners in unlocking and opening the
safety lamp with which each miner is
provided. These lamps are ordinarily
made in accordance with the well
known rule laid down by Sir Humphrey
Davy, that flame cannot pass through a
fine wire mesh hence a light thus pro-
tected can be carried into a mine or into
q room filled with explosive vapors or
gases without the least danger of caus-
ing ignition. But custom is apt to
produce an indifference to danger, and
it has been often found in the mines
of England and in other countries
that miners will run the risk involved
in opening their lamps for the pur-
pose of lighting their pipes, in this
way exposing, not only their own
lives, but the lives of great many
of their associates, to the risk of
instant destruction. 1t has been
suggested that, perhaps, the best way of
guarding against this would be the in
PRODUCTION into the mines of incandes.
cent electric lights, in place Of the pres
ent safety lamps. This would probably
involve considerable outlay, and it may
be questioned whether it would be pos
sible to procure sufficient illumination
in those parts of coal mine where new
work was going on, and where the cleo.
trio light system could not on this &C.
count be Immediately extended. Be-
sides this, the moisture in the mines,
combined as it is with mineral acids
might have such corroding effect up

airy qualification of their own wishes, it
is to be feared that mine explosions will
occur, and that periodical reports will be
received of the loss Of life of large

T~E SINGER MACHINE FIRE.
The Loss Nearly $4,000. 900 and Many
Valuable Platforms Burned.


The Loss Nearly sa.oOn.oOO and Many
Valuable Platforms Burned.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May S.-The man
ayers of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company estimate the total loss by the
hre at their works here at nearly $2.OOO,-
900. The company, it is said, carriedno
insurance, they fancying that their
local fire departm emit at the works was
fully able to cope with fire. The
works Tuesday were running at their
full capacity. Several of the depart
ments in the main building worked un-
til 8 p. m, while tho screw depart ment
ran day and night.
Tho factory authorities are trying to
ascertain the cause of the fire, which
was first discovered in the office of tho
John Bennett. 1t was an insignificant
blaze at the start, but rapidly spread
and drove the Waterman back. Fire
grenades are scattered throughout the
factory, but the Waterman in his ex-
citement forgot to make use of them
until the flames gained too much head
way.
The Singer works is one of the largest
plants in this country, including thlr.
ty-two acres of land, eighteen acres OF
which are covered by buildings. The
property has wharf front of 800 feet
on Newark Bay, and nearly four miles
were started in 1878, and the last addi.
ton was made in 1888. The pay roll
averaged $85, 900 a week. The capacity
of the works is 1 500 machines day.
and the steam plant develops 10000
horse power.
The company has additional works in
England and in Georgia.
