TRACY CITY, Aug. 15.-Yesterday
was quiet and uneventful in Tracy
City. Churches were attended in the
morning and the people remained
closely at home the rest of the day.
The largest crowd that collected in
the business portion of the town
would not exceed fifty, and these
men were very orderly. The report
that the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail
road Company will close down its
works has caused a general depression
Of spirits among the miners. It il al
ready rumored that the miners are
willing to let cOnvicts come back and
operate the coke ovens, but will re-
sist working them in the mines. This
feeling is manifestly growing. The
Sheriff Of the county is still here.
He says s'his hands are tied until
somebody makes an initiative move,
then he is ready to act" A feeling
of great anxiety is evident on every
side. What the next move OF the
rioters will be is not known or init
mated

PUBLTc R,oADs.

A correspondent writes to the HER
AID criticising the present manage
ment of the Mt. Pleasant pike. The
criticism we think is rather too severe
and INDUCES ia some personalities
we think hardly warranted, and fol
these reasons we decline to publish
the communication.
But from this letter and from street
talk, we are fully persuaded-and We
beg in all kindness and friendliness
to suggest the same to the county
court-thst they have made a mis-
take.
The prejudice against the former
owner of the road may or may not
have been greater than it should; that
there was reasonable grounds for some
of it, there can be no question. With
that we have nothing to do. We
mention it for one reason only, and
that is that that prejudice, If it influ-
enced the action of the court at all,
influenced them to do an injustice to
their constituents.
There are people other than those
who live on that road. who must of
necessity travel it at times. TO per-
NIT the road to remain in co ndition
that the courts have decided made it
an unlawful toll road, and at the
same time charge toll over it, is an
injustice.
There are also people VINO live on
that road who cannot afford, because
they do not travel enough, to take
pikeSge by the year. The highest
legal tribunal of the State has said
that they should not be required to
pay toll at all.
Now for the c"uDty court to come
along and require those people to take
the gates by the year, or else pay full
fare over . bad road, is TO collect an
unjust and we think an illegal tax.
There is still another injustice. This
being toll road, it should not only
be put and kept in good condition,
but it should support itself. The
County ought to be at no expense
for it at all but the County is at an
expense when the county hands are
worked on it. 1t is not fair to the
other county roads for the county
hands to work on pay road. We
submit that proposition, without
to any fair minded mau.
The county road leading from the
Mt. Pleasant to the Csmpbellsville
pike, we are informed is almost inn
passable at places; while the county
hands are working a pay road.
The new road opened just west of
the Arsenal grounds, leading from
t he Mt. Pleasant to the Hampsn9
p ike, has never been made passable
1t would require but few days work
from the county prisoners, bnt these
few days they have not been able to
give because of their work on a more
favored and protected" county road.
There are other county roads, trav-
eled by people who pay their pro rata
of tax to support the county prison.
ers, any one of which need work
worse than does the Mt. PLEASE Mt
pike. Not only so, but these roads
are free, and the Mt. Pleasant pike is
not.
These are plain truths, simple facts;
given to the people and for tn e
benefit OF the people, without partiali-
ty or prejudice. From these truths
and facts, it is very clear to our mind
that the County Court has made q
and, having made mistake.
It is equally clear that it is their duty
TO correct it.

ANOTHER CHICAGO WOE,

Chicago has many woes. She has ty-
phoid fever water supply, a smoke nui-
sance, dirty streets and other things which
trouble and vex the eye and nose. Many
of her new buildings are built of brick and
they are becoming seriously dis6gured by
q white efaorescence. This efnorescence is
more or less conspicuous in other cities
as we'll as in Chicago. According to scien-
tifc ideas this efflorescence results when
bricks are made from clay which has in Its
composition the sulphates of magnesis,
soda or potash, and when the bricks are
not sufficiently fred to fuse or amalga-
mate them with the silicates and oxides of
iron. The sulphates readily dissolve the
alkali on becoming wet. With the evapo-
ration of the moisture the new substance
is carried to the surface and deposited in
crystalline form. 1t is also believed that
an excess of coal smoke encourages the eff
forescence. Fortunately bricks can be
made that will not effloresce. In
Berlin, where they do some things
better than in Chicago. build
ing material is sometimes tested
before it is used. At the royal testing sta
ton brick are gradually heated to the boil
ing point in water bath, and are then
suddenly immersed in cold water. They
are boiled for one hour in a 10 per cent.
solution of common salt and frequently
cooled as before. They are again boiled
half an hour in 5 per cent. soda lye. They
are further boiled half an hour in the same
solution, with the addition of per cent
of ammonium sulphate. They are then
boiled half an hour in q solution contain.
ing per cent blue vitriol and 10 pc,
cent. common salt. Fragments of the
brick are placed for seventy-fve hours in
| 8 per cent hydrochlorio acid and for fifty
hours more in per cent. hydrochlorit
acid. By further treatment of the frag
ments with pure per cent. hydrochlori'
acid q fluid clear as water is formed, which
when treated with barium salts, should
not show the presence of sulphates whici
are the cause of effiorescence.
1t would not be bad idea for builder
| in Now Haven as well as In Chicago t,
pay some attention to the composition o
the brick used. There are many bricl
buildings in New Haven which do not lool
very well.

TIE RAILROAD PETITION.

The Committee on Streets last evening
had hearing on the petition of the Con-
solidated railroad for permission to make
certain changes in the vicinity of the Union
depot, and the Indications are that it will
recommend that the petitioner be allowed
to make the changes. If this action is
taken it will be in accordance with public
opinion concerning the matter. 1t has for
some time been plain that the changes were
necessary for the road, and that they
would be of great benefit to the public. 1t
would be very unwise for New Haven to
stand in the way of anything which will
aid its development and give the road
which 1t takes pride in better facilities for
doing its work. With the main Offices of
the road here, and its principal officers
living here, New Haven has al
ready become distinguished railroad
center, and the indications now are
that it will become even
more distinguished in this way. 1t should
do nothing to hinder the development of
the great road whose headquarters are
here and should give it all the assistance in
its power. In the present case the road
makes an entirely fair and even generous
proposition and should be fairly and gen.
erously treated.

A SOUTHERN FOREST.


1t is suggested that we have a national
forest in the South and that Roam noun
tain in North Carolina be selected as q
good illustration of what the South can
do in the way of trees. In that region
may be seen growing in supreme perfec-
ton such typical trees Of the South as the
magnolias; of the middle States, like the
ashes, the oaks, the naples and the lin
dens; and then, the birches, the pines,
the mountain ashes and the spruces of
the extreme North. The chestnut at
tains its greatest size here; the wild cherry
grows to diameter of six feet; the tulip
tree is still greater. The various
oaks-white, red, black, scarlet
and chestnut-attain here their greatest
height and girth; the snowdrop tree, a
shrub in the North, grows free of branches
for hundred feet above the ground, and
the grandest ashes, hickories and hemlocks
are found here. elm this wonderful re-
gion the kalmia grows to the dimensions
of good-sized apple tree, the tupelo is a
forest giant, and the rhododendrons are
tree-like in size and habit. The sweet
birch of the Smokes dwsrfs the
biggest birch trees of the North,
and the sugar naples of New
England are as pigmies in comparison with
the maple trees of the South. In early
spring the floor of the forest is lighted up
by the fiery heads of szalea calendulacea,
which decks for miles the upper mountain
slopes with solid masses of bloom, while
azaleas arborescens dips its pure white fra
grant flowers into every mountain brook. u
The idea of a national forest such as this
is good one. Action concerning the
matter should be taken soon, for the lum-
Der men are after the fine trees of the
South as of the North. It was wise to
preserve q part of the sequoia forest OF
California, and it will be equally wise te
preserve a part of the great southern
mountain forests.
