The New Keystone Express of the
PENNSYLVANIA Lines.

Those who have to travel will appre-
ciate the fact that the Management of
the Pennsylvania Lines anticipates bus
inesS necessities, and improves its facil-
tiles for moving passengers comfortably
aud eXpeditiouSIy somewhat in advance
OF the actual demand. This suggestion
is verified by the Inauguration of new
Passenger train service between Chi
cagO and New York to be known as
THE KEYSTONEEX EXPRESS, which
leaves Chicago at 10:45 o'clock in the
morning, and reaches New York the
next day at 2 O'Clock, over the Pennsyl-
yania Lines-a little shorter time, we
believe, than has yet been attempted by
any of their competitors.
We are told that this train will have
the celebrated Pullman Vestibules
from front to rear and will also carry
Mr.. Pullman'S finest cars. Excepting
in special features, it is said that 1t will
be equal to the famous Pennsylvania
Limited. and while no extra fare will
be charged. passengers holding other
than firSt-cIaSS tickets will not be al
lowed to ride on it. The venture may
seem to be premature, but we predict
that the business of the Keystone Ex-
press will grow with that of the coun-
try. and at no distant day we believe it
will have become one of the most popu-
lar and best paying trains of the enter
prising Pennsylvania Company, whose
Management furnishes this new evil
dence of a determination to excel in all
that pertains to the transportation of
passengers.

LIVELY BASKET. MAKING.
Two Men Turn Out Over One
Hundred Thousand in One
Months Work.


jamestown Sun.
The manufacture of grape baskets
has grown to be an industry second only
to the raising of the grape in many of
the towns along the shore of Lake
Erie. A grape basket is con-
structed of bass wood, and is made up
of eight distinct pieces, minus the
handle. The handles are not put on at
the factories, but by the growers when
used. a good basket-maker can turn
out about fifty baskets an hour if he
moves lively. Formerly what was
known as the splint basket was used.
1t was cheaper grade and not near. so
strong or durable, and containing but
four pieces, was, of course, easier made.
Many people while i'll the grape cOun-
try might be curious to know Just how
many of these splint baskets could be
made by one man working a month. A
tilt that Perry Bigelow, now of North
East, and Charles Bennett, at Portland,
once had between them, illustrates the
possibilities of splint basket-making.
Each man differed somewhat ae to the
capabilities of the other IN that direc-
ton. and to settle the matter they
started thirty-day match, without
gloves, catch-as-catch-can, no particular
rules to govern, and each to work as
many hours as ne choose. So it was
not only question of expertness, but of
endurance. Both worked in the same
shop.
What pounding. Up and down, like
flash, moved the hammers In the
hands sof the two men; like flash the
splints were bent into place and the
nails sent flying into their sides with
nj &c
baskets rained on the floor in shower.
Did the boys begin to get tired in the
course of week or two! Well. if they
did they didn't. show it. The longer
they kept at it the faster they worked.
Their movements were almost auto
matte and as regular as clockwOrk. and
so evenly matched were the men that ON
the 29th of the month there wasn't
difference in their piles of twenty.
Ever and anon Charley would stop to
wipe his face, and Perry would gain on
him; then Perry, mayhap. would have
to brush fly away, and then 1t was that
Charley got in his fine work.
The night preceding the last day Perry
went to dance, returning at o'clock.
The race was about even up, and he
thought that by slipping into the factory
at that hour and working until breakfast
at good lively jog he would have Ben
nett demorslized and beaten. He had
just picked up his hammer and spat on
his hands when the door opened, and 10!
there was Bennett.
Four hours till breakfast, five till din
ner, and then till o'clock-tap, tap,
tap! 1t was better than bear dance
and lively enough to stir the most stolid
citizen. Neighbors gathered in a crowd
around the shop aud watched the fun.
AT exactly 6 O'Clock Perry threw his
hammer out of the window. He was
just five baskets behind. Score: Ben
nett, 2,050: Bigelow. 52,O45.

boarding party, but the Peruvian crew
rallied and repulsed the boarderS. up
setting their launch and drowning two
men. Another attempt was made, how
ever, in less than an hour, which proved
more successful, and in two hours after
the first shot was fired the Huascar was
III the hands of the Chilians.
''Those of US who visited the capt
urers and captiveS soon after the en-
gagement learned that nearly 100 pro-
jectileS, weighing something like 800
pounds each, had been fired from the
Cochrane and Encalada. AT least twen-
ty-tive of these struck the HuaScar.
Those that struck the hull, which was
covered with but four and half inches
of armOr, penetrated the covering and
exploded in the backing, doing great
damage. The steering gear, as
has been stated, was completely
demolished, and the engine room
was pierced, although the machinery
escaped. Several shots struck the tur-
ret, which was plated with five and a
doing untold damage to everything
within. All the upper works of the
ship were carried away, together with
the cpnnlng tower and the iron mast.
A singular coincidence was that al
though the Huascar fired fifty shots,
only three shots struck the Cochrane,
While none at all struck the Encalada.
Neither vessel was injured.
1T was good, practical lesson to us
OF the American fleet on the necessity
for careful handling of guns in an
engagement. Nothing could have been
more unsklllful than the firing of these
ships, the Huascar in particular. The
yerlest youngSter at the naval academy
cOulH have made two hitc RI fhair OOp
with the most ancient of navy smooth
bores. The vessels were all in smooth
water and within 1900 feet Of each
other throughout the engage
ment. At one time, when the
Huascar tried her ramming tactics,
the vessels were not 100 feet apart
Yet of 100 shots fired by the Chilians
only one-Quarter struck the Huascar,
and of fifty shots fired by the latter
vessel only three were hits. We made
up our minds after that engagement
that the victory was with the Huascar,
for she had been able to maintain an
open-sea fight for two hours against
twelve l219-ton Armstrong guns, each
OF which ought to have driven project
lies through armOr twice the thickness
of hers, sending her to the bottom in
two-shakes of lambs tail.
''If the Huascar had been possessed of
two screws, and had her gunners re-
tanned their presence of mind, the
formidable ram might have been
brought into play withresults altogether
different. The chief engineer of the
HuaScar at the time of this battle was
citizen of the United States, Samuel
MacMahon by name. He escaped un-
hurt, although scrap of shell tore off
the back of his coat.''

THE HUAsCAR's CAPTURE.
An American Naval Officers Story
of a Famous Sea Fight.

All american Naval O1ncer'S story
of a Famous Sea Fight.
The reports of the attacks of the gov
ernment torpedo cruisers on the in
surgents' ironclad Huascar off the
Chilian coast, says the New York
Times, brings to the mind of the Off
GERS who served on the Pensacola in
1879 and 1880 some interesting details of
the famous battle between the Huascar
and the Chilian armor-clads BlancO En-
calada and Almirante Cochrane Oct. 8,
1879. The Pensacola, at that time the
flagship OF the South Pacific squadron
under the late Commander Edward
Terry, was cruising off the west coast
when the battle occurred. She lost no
time in repairing to the scene of the en-
gagement. arriving off MejillOnes de
Bolivia soon after the Huascar struck
her cOlors. An officer who boarded
the Huascar as she lay at anchor in
Mejillones bay after the action. and who
conversed with the officers of both the
rival ships, gave the following stoIy of
the battle:
''On the morning of the battle the
Huascar was surprised to see herself
surrounded by the hostile Chilian fleet,
which was divided into two divisions.
One Of these was composed of the
Blanco Encalada. with the Covadonga
and the transport Matias COusinO, and
the other consisted of the Almirante
Cochrane, the cruiser O,HiggiIs and
the transport Loa. The Huascer had
but one attendant veSSel-the wooden
consort Union. As soon as she sighted
the Encalada she made off for the south
at full speed, and, her boilers being SUI
perior to those of her pursuer, she
stood a good chance of escaping had
not the division headed by the Coch
rane suddenly appeared.
"Escape being then cut off, the Huas-
car and the Union ran close ashore,
where the latter escaped. The Cochrane
bore down on the unfortunate Huascar
at 10 o'clock in the morning, the first
shot being fired at a distance of mile
and three-quarters. Admiral Grau, of
the Huascar, then drew his vessel close
to the enemy, and attempted to ram her,
but the enemy was possessed of pair
of twin screws that enabled her to veer
off at very close range. Within half an
hodr the Encalada arrived, and poured
shot into the Huascar at distance of
less than 1.000 yards.
lone of these shots struck and de-
molished the Huascar's counting tower,
killing Admiral Grau, who was sta
toned therein. An other shot struck
the Peruvian's most vulnerable point
the stern-disabling her steering gear
and rendering her unmaDageable. The
Cochrane succeeded, at very short
range, in sending shot from her 1915
ton Armstrong directly through the for
ward gun port of the Huasbar, break
ing off one of the 12-pounders and kill
ing the two officers next in authority to
| the admiral.
