NEARLY ALWAYS THE CASE.

Poor People Are the First Sufferers During
Strikes-High Prices for Food
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The strike in Buff
falo has already increased the price of liv-
ing in New York. and If 1t should become
general famine would shortly result.
Produce men say if trains were tied up for
ten days food would become scarce so de-
pendent are the people here on other parts
of the country. AS usual, the persons to
suffer first are the poorer classes-those
who lay IN their supplies from day to day.
Already many of tho wholesale dealers
have been obliged to fall back on their re-
serve stocks because the cars of merchan-
disc have not arrived. Much of this, such
, as meat, eggs and poultry. Is perishable
and will be unfit for use when IL does ar

seems they are q little bit hasty In making
the raise. There can hardly be any scarcity

Poor Prospect for English Workingmen.
LONDON. Aug. 20-The condition of the
labor market is not very promising IN
Great Britain, and the outlook for the
workmen ia many trades is disheartening
to them. Notwlt hstanding the depression,
the agitation in various industries for q
shortening of the working hours Is still
being actively carried on. The situation
in the Clyde ship-yards is very bad. Hun
dreds of skilled mechanics and laborers
have been discharged. owing TO lack of
work. Tho ehip-building trade 10 de-
pressed. owing to the low ocean and coast
ing freig ht rates. This condition of the
carrying trade causes ship-owners to re-
fraIn from giving orders for new tonnage.
1t is expected that the wages OF all iron
and steel workers will be reduced.

Her driving wheel was made six inches
larger than that OF the Great Western, which
was feet in diameter. Mr.. Treviihick, in
order To obtain large driving wheel and a
low center of gravity. adopted the peculiar
plan of placing the boiler under the driving
axle. The driving wheel of feet inches
was the largest size which had then, or has
since. been tried upon the ordinary 4 feet
81 inches gauge, the cylinder being 171b
inches diameter and "a inches stroke. The
engine appears to have fully answered the
expectation Of her designer. for upon
the trial trip a speed of fully
seventy-nine miles an hour was at
tanned under favorable circumstances,
thus beating the Great Western by one
mile an hour. She was shown at the ex-
hibition of 1851, but the position of her
boiler was not approved, and in 1868 a new
boiler was nut IN her above the axle. We
