Twelve years ago a 40-ton locomo- five vas exceptionally heavy to-day the Cotton engine IS in common use and the tendency is daily toward Q heavier equipment and rail and road-bed cap able Of sustaining such an increase in weight. The Baldwin Locomotive Works have completed four 97ton en- zines for the St. Clair Tunnel railway, and as they are supposed to be tue largest locomotives ever built in tue world they are looked upon as giant monstrosities Yet the same relative change during the next ten years as has characterized the past ten years would bring such monsters of power into gen. eral use even as passenger locomotives.

The reduction in the price of com mercially pure aluminium from g. per pound to a1, which has been announced by the Pittsbarg Reduction Company during the past week, marks another step towards a more general employ ment of this metal in the arts. Al though its uses are not so general as has been stated by many writers, there are great possibilities fer the metal in the manufacture of many valuable alloys, and the reduction in price will, un- doubtedly, lead to an extension of is field of application. The price of the metal below 97 per cent. and above 90 per cent, pure, containing neither sul- phpr nor phosphorus, which is suitable for nlloying with iron and steel, has been further reduced to 90 cents per pound.

One Of the most valuable investlga- tions conducted by Bradstreet's Is that which presents annually the statistics of business failures. And its value has been increased enormously by the ad- dition of new and striking feature the spalysis of failures by causes. Of the 10, 673 failures last year, 2,005 are credited to ineompetency, ell to inex- perience, 4,052 to lack of capital, 502 to reckless credits, 257 to failures of others, 232 to extravagance, 390 to neg lect 246 to undue competition. 1858 to unfayorable circumstances, GOA to speculation, and 4I6 are chased as fraudulent This throws a flood of light on business conditions in the United States, and on the most prolific causes of business mortality.

Troubles VIII Be Amicably Settled.
A Generous Employer.

The granite and freestone-cutters who
labor in the yards of this city, Oakland and
Alameda were surprised and panied on
Monday when they found notices posted
about the works to the effect that on June
LIST smoking, while at work, would be
strictly prohibited. After the first shock
had subsidized they began, to discuss the new
order.
Impromptu indignation meetings were
held at noon and at night. and it was deter
mined that the anti-smoke ordinance was
proper subject for debate in the hall of the
Granite cutters and FreestOne- cutters
unions, of which all the men affected are
members
The grante-cutters met on Wednesday
night and voted to resist the order to man
and sent warning to the bosses that if the
anti-smOke orders were not removed and
rescinded by noon on Saturday they would
strike.
Saturday neon came, but the notices were
not removed, and yesterday every granite
cutter in the city and vicinity struck
There are about 800 OF them and unless
they soon return TO the yards their action
Will have disastrous effect upon the build
ing operations.
The employers say that they adopted the
anti-sm0ke ordinance after mature delibera-
ton. They pay the StOne-cutteTS 81 per day
Tor working eight hours, give them a half
holiday on Saturday and pay them semi
monthly, hence they cannot afford to lose
the time taken by the mechanics ia smoking

night, but decided to take no action with
reference to the anti-smokng rule until the

orally in his company. No other motive
than jealousy could have caused the young
Mexican to commit the shocking crime.
A CHASTITY SPECTACLE.
The tragedy was not discovered until a
few minutes after o'clock, when John
LavignOlle, the proprietor of the house.
went to Room to make up the bed. Upon
opening the door Of the room the sight that
met his eyes caused him to stagger back
with an exclamation Of surprise and terror.
When he reEained control OF his faculties he
sent out after a policeman. Officer Wrenn
was found and hurriedly escorted to the
room.
In few moments the house was in an up
roar aud dozen Mexican women were
hurryng and Skurrving 10 all directions.
One look at the bodies was sufficient to
cause them 10 retreat shuddering.
The scene within the room was sickenng
in the extreme. Across the bed lay Con
zales, with his CLASSY eyes fixed upon the
ceiling. He was fully dressed and from his
ger. Blood had flowed from half dozen
wounds In his breast aud saturated the bed
ding.
KNEELING IN BLOOD.
Kneeling in a large pool OF blood at the
foot of the bed and with her head on the
lUOlDOdEu WAS the NtcIln OF the passionate
and jealous dagger wielder Size also was
fully dressed, but her clothing was slashed
and torn in many places aud dripping with
blood that had trickled down from her gap
ing wounds. Although stiff and cold in
death the woman's face still showed traces
OF that beauty cbaractistic of some Mexican
women. A glance showed that she must
nave been stabbed several times about the
breast There was also deep cut In the
chin and cash across the left arm.
The room indicated that there must have
been a fierce struggle. Chairs were over
turned and the wall was spattered with
blood seven or eight feet from where the
bodies lay. The woman must have made a
furious battle for life when Gonzales rushed
upon her with the uplfted dagger. 1t is
probable that her left arm was so badly
slashed while she was trying to ward off
blow.
THE SECRET OF DEATH.
No one will ever know the exact details
Of the encounter. Sufficient it is, that the
woman received FIVE terrible stabs before
she dropped at the foot Of the bed and died

SULLIYAN'S ARRIVAL.
The Big Fellow Says He Is Still
In 1t.
When His theatrical Engagement Is Ter
minated He VIII Fight the Then Cham
pion-John LIS Appearance.

John L. Sullivan, the famous heavy
weight pugilist arrived yesterday. he as
met at the ferry landing by large delega-
ton Of sporting men, who welcomed the
fighter TO this coast
Sullivan looks as robust and powerful as
ever and with the exception Of few siyered
locks, which are very noticeable on his
forehead, there seems to ee no change in
his former self tits no eXaggeretion to say
that the big fellow never looked filter in
his life. and unless appearances are decep-
tive he would, with a little training To re-
duce his surplus flesh, be in condition to
fight the battle Of his life.
His eyes are bright and his cheeks LOOK
firm and rosy. There is not a mark Of dis
sipa;on in his face, and his step is firm and
elastic, as it vas on that memorable July
day in Mississippi when he knocked Jake
kilrain's chances of championship honor
into a cOck-bat.
When the crowd cheered for him he smiled
a hearty smile, and looked the very picture
of healthy good nature. 1t was evident, in
fact, from his active appearance that he was
not only in a pleasant mood, but was in
splendid physical condition. In spite of
tie few gray locks that showed about his
temples, there was no indication Of deteTiora-
ton, and every movement was as agile as a
cat. His most noticeable point, however,
was his back, and every one who saw it
gave vent to an Involuntary exclamation OF
surprise.
GLANCED AT CRITICALLY.
One gentleman, who knows a thing or
two, glanced at il critically and turning 10 a
friend said, You can just lay your life on
IL that he is still ia it. just look at that
step and that back. All the training he
needs is a shampoo aud a shave, with an
inc dental haircut, and he'll whip jackson,
C0rbett and SIavin one after the other"
In his normal condition he appears cor
pulent, but IN answer TO a question as re-
CARDS weight lie stated that he now scales
about 80 pounds, and in fighting trim 210
pounds. Have you retired permanently
from the ring, MI Sulliyan?" asked tile
reporter
Not by any means" answered the big
fellow IN a powerful voice. ''As | have
gagement TO play Honest Hearts and VIII
ling Hands for several months, and when
have finished my contract l shall be free
10 talk business with the man who will then
hold the championship Of the world"
"RumOT says that SlaVin forced you to
confess that you had retired for all time,
ami that you would not fight again?"
AND THERE YOU ARE.
The remark brought wicked glare from
Sullivan's eyes as he answered, "Neyer
mind rumOrs; if you rely upon all you hear
you Will 20 wrong every time. Now my
conversation with SlaYn was very limited.
He asked NE II / was still in the ring and |
answered him IN the negative. adding that
l did not claim championship honors, but
that l would be ready 10 meet the best mau
IN the business when my theatrical contract
expired; and there you are"
