James S. KiMbaH Killed by the Cars.
A fatal accident occurred at this depot
about noon yesterday, ~result1ngln the
instant death of James k1nball, express
agent and assistant depot master.
There had been a car loaded with brick
left upon a side track, and when the train
that was to take it came along Mr.. Kim
ball went out to change a switch below
this car. supposing all the time that the
engine was coming down another track.
The engineer saw his train was going to
run against this car, and whIStleG for
brakes, but they did not hold and the en-
CINE ran against the car, behind which
Mr.. Kimball was STOPPING down to fix
the switch, striking him and mangling
him fearfully. He was carried rom near
the depot almost down to the steam
mill before the train could be stopped.
His wife has been very sick for several
weeks, and being of advanced age 1t is
feared this will hasten her death.
Only two or three years since Mr..
Burns, depot master, and son-in-law OF
Mr.. Kimball, had his arm taken off by
the cars here, and only this winter Albert
Burns, a grandson of Mr.. Ki1nball, came
neal losing his life here by a defective
brake that threw him between the cars.

The Lake Commerce Of chlcsao,

Chicago's shipping is second only TO
that of New York; from it the cereals of
the Northwestern States are transported
through Lakes Huron and Erie to Buff
49, ~, ) whence they are forwarded 20 New
York by rail or by the Erie Canal; grain
intended for Montreal may be carried
over the lakes and down the st. Law
renee without once breaking bulk; and
it is contemplated even to run steamers
direct to England.
Some idea OF its lake traffic may be
formed from the statement that the az
gregate entrances and clearances in 1890,
for the great lakes, numbered SO, $50, Of
which 21,054, measuring 10,2SS, 688
tons, were at that port. The correspond
ing aggregate for New York is Is, 2S3,
and for the entire seaboard OF the United
States, 37,756. The tonnage has nearly
doubled itself in the last ten years; ana
it is possible to conceive of like in
crease by 1900, for 54,411 miles Of rail
way terminate here, and in year move
100000 900 tons of freight. Besides, in
the central Northern, and the North
western States, the total freight moved
is 1876, 900, 900 tons, a fair proportion of
which goes to Europe.

A MANN 9th HOu.

Some forty years or more ago Thomas
Selby was hotel keeper in Columbia.
Much of the travel over the State was
then done on horseback and a stable was
a necessary attachment to hosiery. In
his stable Selby had number of hogs
to eat up the gram that would otherwise
be wasted. Among the hogs was a
white pig that grew so rapidly that he
determined to see its full development.
The shoat grew to the dimensions of
large hog, very fat and almost helpless.
Such was its rapid and enormous
development that not only Mr.. Selby,
but the citizens generally took an inter
est in the burly swine, and hundreds o.
curious people went to see it during its
life Of two or three years.
The hog was put into a pen and fed
all it would eat-no small quantity-un.
til the pen became too small, aud was
either driven or wandered into the sta
Bile. Here the porker took possession
of a horse stall, and grew till, when ly-
ing down, it comfortably filled the stall.
The impression is it was weighed before
death and that its weight was about
1913 pounds-perhaps something over
that. There are still living witnesses
who often saw the hog and can verify
these statements. Fulton (Mo.) Gazette.

A Monster PnlIiy.

One Of the most notable mechanica
achievements of late is the great pulley
which has been placed in the mill Of the

pauy for transmitting power from tho
mammoth engine Of that plant. This
pulley weighs ,sSs.gsg.lS .ess, "a twenty
eight feet in diameter and has face nine
feet across. 1t is cast IN twelve sections,
each section carrying a spoke and seq
ment Of the rim, the latter being backed
in its casting by what is technically
known as rib work, in appearance re.
sembling a series of heavy iron panelling.
Including the hub pieces, there are
twenty-six parts TO the wheel. The
spokes alone weigh Sc, 900 pounds, the
rim alone 5000, and the boiling to-
gether Of the sections is by q series of $50
p and II bolts. The power from the
great engine is distributed from this pulley
by three belts, one about forty mine
inches wide and two of twenty-four
inches width each; the wheel makes
sixty revolutions per minute, the surface
travelling exactly one mile in that space
of time. The shaft which this prodigi,
Gus pulley hangs upon is some twenty
one feet in length, including the disks
at either end, and of itself presents the
enormous weight Of twenty seven tons. =

Driving Rain Away With Dynamite.

The new science and art of train
making" dees not appear to make much
PROCESS in India, and unfortunately this
is one of those countries where the
owner to procure rain at will would be
particularly valuable. At Bijapur, i'll
the Bombay Presidency, nearly half
ton of dynamite has been exploded on
elevated ground; but unhappy all this
disturbance left the district just as dry
as before. A second discharge was then
tried upon fat topped hill 200 feet in
height; but still not drop of rain. In
Burmah the conditions were considered
more favorable; but it happened that just
when the Deputy Commissioner and an
and an assistant engineer had got all
ready for tremendous explosion down
came the rain. The experiment, it is
added, was carried on nevertheless,
which, as local wit observed, is very
much as if the American colonel of le-
gendary fame had persisted in firing at
the 'gone coon" after he had come
down. The worst part of the business is
that in one instance at least an expert
mental dynamite explosion IS strongly
suspected of having actually driven away
very promising drift of clouds.-Lon-
don News.
