A Heavy Blast.

One of the most terrific and effective
blasts ever made in the extensive stone
quarries at Glen Mills, West Chester, Pa,
was made the other day. In the face Of
that portion of the quarries which is
opened about eighty yards in length nine
holes twenty-five feet in depth were
drilled at equal distances apart. In these
500 pounds of dynamite were placed, and
all responded to the touch of the electric
button at the battery, several hundred
yards distant.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of stone
were raised and broken by the explosion,
many of the pieces being as large as a
freight car. The arrangements for the
blast being generally known in that Sec
tion hundreds Of people assembled to
see it. The amount of stone loosened by
the explosion will be sufficient to keep
busy the several large crushers for many
weeks.-Cor. Philadelphia Ledger.

PrrTsBURG, Dec. 29.-Superintendent
Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., has
been summoned by telegraph to Wash
ington by the secretary of.the navy in re-
lation to the armor and deck plates
which the firm is supplying for war
ships now building. The telegram or
dered him to leave on the first train, and
he took his departure this evening.
The rumors of the feverish rapidity
with which the government is pushing
work on war vessels, in the light of the
strained relations with Chile, have re-
ceived new confirmation locally.
In relation to the above, member
of the firm of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.
was interviewed this morning, and said !:
"There is nothing unusual inprelation to
our contracts, nor any extraordinary
rush. 1t is customary to receive many
dispatches concerning work, and also
for some member of the firm to be
called to Washington on thesame busi-
ness. We have been shipping as fast
as completed protected deck plates for
New York. The plate for the Monterey
is in an unfinished condition; that is, it
has not been tested, and we have re-
ceived no orders to ship without the
usual tests"

playing one week and half in each city.
1t is not yet decided what California
cities will be represented in the league,
but San Francisco and San Jose will GER
tainly be in it. The choice for the re-
naming city lies between Los Angeles
and Sacramento. In the northwest
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle will have
teams. Spokane will be dropped, but

road will not only be used for passenger
traffic, but will he equipped with freight
cars that will have a capacity of five tons.
No matter how muddy the highways are
or how stormy the weather, the motor
trucks upon which the farm wagons are
wheeled will always be ready to carry
their loads to the nearest market, and to
bring back their return load when re-
