SZN Mr.. Andrew S.
NSNS/G<fN Hallidie, OF San
<%pnSM Francisco, perfect
ed the system, and
with his associates
built the Clay Street Hill Railroad OF
San Francisco In August, 1873. The
system, says Harper's Weekly, con-
sists simply OF an endless wire rope
placed In tube (having a narrow
slot from one-half to three-quarters
inch wide) beneath the surface and
between the rails, maintained in its
position by means Of sheaves, rollers
or wheels. The rope is kept contin-
uously in motion by stationary
steam engine at either end of the line
or at any convenient point between
the two extremes. A gripping at
tachment at the end OF a vertical
steel rod connected with the car and
passing through the narrow slot in
the tube transmits the motion OF the
cable to the car.
The speed at which the car moves
is, determined by the rapidity of the
cable and this regulated by the rev.
olutions Of the driving-wheel at the
stationary engine. The rope is made
of steel wire about three inches in
circumference, is supported every
thirty-nine feet on eleven-inch
sheaves, but does not run directly UNI
der the slot, but to one side of 1t, to
prevent sand and drift from falling
on the rope and to enable the
foot Of the gripping attachment to
pass by and under the upper sheaves
and over the lower sheaves in the
tube. The connection between the
cars on the street and the travelling
rope is by means Of this gripping at
tachment, as shown in the illustra-
tion. The grip is worked by lever
and is the one now generally en-
ployed by all the companies. 1t is
formed of two frames, one sliding in
side the other. The outer one is Sc
cured to the grip bar on the forward
truck by bolts, aud carries the lower
jaw; while the inner frame, which
slides up and down upon the outer
one, carries the upper jaw, the quad
rant, the operating lever and the adj
justing mechanism, and is held in
place by guide plates extending across
the inside frame, and between which
it slides. The frame carrying the
jaws passes through the slot directly
down alongside the cable without Off
set. The grip bar, on which these
parts are mounted, is secured and
supported by frame on the running
gear or truck, and not on the car
itself.
When the car is at standstill the
cable passes along over the chilled
iron grooved rollers at each end of the

impaired to the car without. jerk or

tion of the upper die forces the rope
or cable on the lower die, the cable
thus being held tightly between the
dies. A reverse motion Of the lever
raises the frame and upper die and
releases the cable and allows it to-
through freely without imparting any
motion to the car, which is then
brought to standstill by the action
of the brakes.

little world inhabited by men
Had swung for ages round its central SUP,
Until its people came to know all stars
Within their range of vision.
Each they named and weighed and measured,
Computed with their spectroscopes
What metals burned in this and what in that,
Until their wise men thought they knew it all.
No wonder was there but they told its law;
All things from nebule they formed,
And all reduced to system,
Until they lost all sight of God
And said he was principle
Held helpless in the grasp of changeless laws
Which he as well as others must obey.
The future of their race was all laid out
BY these wise scientists, and cut and dried,
Until one day God laughed at the little fools
And sent his messenger to fetch them.
Then from out q distant part of space,
Never conceived by that puny world,
A roaring comet of stupendous size
Rushed with swiftness indescribable,
And passing Close within some million leagues,
Lashed with its fiery tails that saucy world,
And, sucking it away from its old sun.
Whirled it, as in derision, through the void,
And dragged it flaming past some thousand
stars
For all to wonder and to marvel at;
Then flung 1t far out into Vastly space,
Where no sun was, where no light came,
And there 1t turned into blackened ball
And froze till God found better use for it.

THE PUGILIsTs.

Battle of the Heavy Weights at New
On September 7th, John L. Sullivan
and James J. Corbett are to meet in the
ring at New Orleans and, since the in
Ruguration of pugilism in America, there
has never been fight that created as
much excitement or bothered the talent
30 badly to conjecture its result. Now.
let us see the Sullivan side of the case.
The big fellow has never been whipped,
but he never has met but one ekilful
boxer, Charles Mitchell. Paddy Ryan
was badly ruptured, and fought with a
truss on, when whipped by Sullivan !;
and as for poor Kilrain, he was a mass
of bad blood and disease at New Orleans
in 1889. We do not say that Sullivan is
not fighter, the history of the ring ie
too plain for that, but we do say that he
has never met frst-class boxer but
once, and that was drawn battle.
Now take Corbett. He never met but
one hard hitter, Joe Choynski, and he
whipped him twice. II be had been a
hard hitter himself, he must have
whipped poor, crippled Peter jackson,
who stood up before him for forty odd
rounds and the fight was declared mo
contest" Yet Peter Jackson whipped
Paddy Slavin in ten rounds and Paddy
is hurricane fighter, just like Sullivan.
III Sullivan can hit Corbett, he can whip
him beyond doubt, for no man yet has
been able to stand against Sullivan's
blows. But suppose that Corbett is too
Hkilful boxer and Sullivan wears him
self out in vain attempts to reach him,
Just as Slavin did with Jackson?
The mere assertion by Kilrain that
Sullivan is going to whip Corbett with
ease does not make it an accomplished
fact, by good deal. Kilrain is very
poor fighter himself, and had all he
could do to whip the negro Godfrey, a
year ago. If his judgment is no better
than his execution, Corbett has chance
yet. We know that Sullivan is the
quickest OF all the big 'uns and a good
deal the best; and while he is harder
hitter than Corbett has ever met before,
il must not be forgotten that Jim can
spar all around him. But if Sullivan
hits him twice, it is goodbye to Mr..
Corbett.

An Iceboat Run by Steam.

An iceboat of new design is to be tried
next winter. 1t is well known that the
ordinary iceboat is entirely dependent
on the wind, but the new vessel carries
a steam attachment which renders it en-

tion. The craft is of the usual iceboat
form, but is provided with a small
boiler carrying $50 pounds pressure of
steam and small engine working on a

Dexter Prince, q castof stallion from
the Palo Alto stables, tops all the win
ming eires of trotters in California, this
year. He is the sire Of Jessie, Fitzsimmons
and Cherokee Prince, all three winners
during the past week. Dan Mccarthy
bought Dexter Prince from L M. Morse,
Of Lodi, San Joaquin county, some time
last winter, for $4,000. It would take
ct least four times that amount to buy
him now; and wouldn't it be joke If
the Palo Alto farm had to buy him
back to mate with their Electioneer
mares? Harris Covey selected all the
early Hires at Palo Alto, and Dexter
Prince showed the fastest half mile on
that track of any one of them. 1t looks
like selling stick to break your own
head.
There is no questioning the excellence
Of the Richmond stock. He was great
horse himself and could pull weight
like an elephant. Several of the best of
Electioneer's get are out of Richmond's
daughters, and the 80 list will contain
about twenty representatives of the gal
liant old gray, before they finally disap-
pear from the turf. 1t is greatly to Mr..
j. @. Simpsons credit that he should
have brought to this state two such val
liable stations as Heck Hooking and A.
w. Richmond. The former was the
only stallion in America that ever COM
bined the block of Boston and Fashion.

INSURANCE COMPANIES BLACK-LISTED.
They Are Accused Of Not Complying with the
Laws of the State.

Auditor of State Henderson yesterday
added q score or more of fire insurance
companies to the black list for Indiana.
The reason advanced Is that they have not
complied with the Indiana laws as to de-
represented by j. +. Runck q Co., of Gin
cinnati. and are as follows:
Cincinnati Stock Companies Merchants and
Manufacturers, Security, National, Washington,
Firemen's, Eagle, Fidelity, Miami Valley, Eu-
reka. Commercial, Cincinnati, Globe.
Ohio Stock Companies-sandusky, Citizens,
Reserve. Washington Union. Home. Crescent
Ohio Mutual Companies-Ohio, Knox County,
Wayne County, Columbana County. Central Man
utacturers, Manufacturers and Merchants /,
Mansfield, United Manufacturers, Mutual Fire,
Peoples, Ohio Millers', German Farmers, Fire.
mont. Richland County, sun, steedman, West
ern, German, Northern. So
The Auditor does not impugn the finan-
DIAL standing of these companies. Their
failure to observe the State law makes it
impossible for the insured to collect loss
in the State courts. and leaves the loser no
recourse except 10 a costly process in the
United States courts. The inquiries
concerning this agency poured in
from all parts of the state.
w: 3. Hadley. proprietor OF the Quaker
ceived an offer to place his insurance at 10
per cent. less than offered by any other
company. This led to an official investi-
CATION as to the standing OF the com panies
with the above result. One of the COM
panies. the Ohio Millers' Mutual, is con-
testing at the present time q policy of
q, 000. held by q citizen OF Posey county,
whose property was destroyed by fire. Tue
case will 60 TO the federal court. The dir
cuIars issued By Runck contain the follow
ing significant paragraph:
agents who have large lines to place,
which they cannot take care of entirely in
their own agency, quite often do not wish
to be known in the transaction OF filing
up in outside companies. In instances OF
this kind they send Us full and complete
information. when we send the policies
direct to the assured. collect the premiums
direct from the assured, and imrn edIateiy
thereafter send the agent check for his

this way.
