Fir Turbines to Come.

The contract for the construction Of
the two highest power turbine wheels
ever made has just been awarded to
the |. p. Norris Company, machine
builders, ofPhiladelphia, by the Cataract
Construction Company, of Niagara
Falls. The mammoth wheels, each OF
5OO0-horse lower, are to be used to
transform the water power of Niagara
into electrical power for lighting and
manufacturing purposes IN all towns
adjacent to the Falls. including But
talo.
The Cataract Construction Company
has already been working long while
at the Falls, and has expended over
100000 but this is the first contract
awarded for the immense turbines, so
long talked about.
The |. P. Morris Company were the
bidders who agreed to have the wheels
completed in the shortest time, and
who were deemed to have the best ia
cilities for the work.
The entire power of the big wheels
will be expended in running the dyna-
mo attached to each. Each wheel is
double, composed of two superimposed
turbines, supported on a hydraulic
pivot. The water is fed between these
wheels by conduit pipe from a height
of 140 feet, flowing into the pipes from
a canal II feet wide and y feet deep at
the rate of %, 900 cubic feet per minute.
The vertical shaft, which is to connect
the wheels with the dynamos, is Of a
new and peculiar construction, consist.
ing of hollow tubular sections united
by solid pieces at the bearings.
Work on the wheels will be begun as
soon as possible at the company's shops,
under the direction of a Swiss engineer
sent over to this country especially for
this purpose by Faesch & Picard, of
Geneva, the designers of this type of
turbine. Some idea of the size of the
wheels may be gained from the size of
the pits dug for their reception. These
are Is feet wide, 140 feet long and 100
feet deep. There may be 10 of these
huge turbines, but SO far the contracts
have been awarded but for these two.
Another Philadelphia firm, r. D.
Wood & Co., are already constructing
some smaller turbines Of 100O-horse
power in their shops in Camden for the
Cataract Construction Company. The
Morris Company will not state the price
of the big wheels, but judging from the
largest hitherto constructed, one of
2OOO-horse power, it will be about $780,
600 each.-Phila. Record.

Bishop whittlc's Farewell.

At the Episcopal Council of the new
Episcopal Diocese on Wednesday last,
Bishop Whittle in declaring his deci-
sion to remain with the old diocese,
said:
The council being now organized and
ready to proceed with its business, l
have to detain you, dear brethren, for
short time, while l perform q solemn
and distressing duty.
The time has come when ! must de-
clare with which of the two dioceses
into which the diocese Of Virginia has
been divided J. will cast in my lot for
the future, and l ask first to be allowed
to make brief statement, which lsde-
sire NAV be entered on your journal.
For nearly twenty-five years | have
stood in the closest official and other
relations to the clergy of Virginia. Dur
ing this quarter of century have
been thus associated with perhaps not
fewer than three hundred ministers in
the diocese. 1t would be strange if,
during these years, some ofmy brethren
had not often found themselves unable
to approve of my official utterances and
actions, and, no doubt, this has been
the case. But | have the satisfaction OF
feeling that in none of them with soil
tary exception have excited by what
| may have said or done, any sentiment
of personal hostility towards myself.
On the contrary all these brethren
with the single exception which | have
mentioned) in intercourse with me, have
invariably manifested their alfectionate
respect and confidence. And may say
the same for my dear brethren of the
laitv. have gone in and out amongst
them for all these years and so far as
know or believe, have never given Of
fence to any one, but have received from
all the greatest kindness and considera-
ton. i rejoice to be able to make this
statement, and l do it with profound
sense of gratitude to God and of thank
fitness to my brethren, while humbled
by the sense of my own unworthiness.
Whether l have reciprocated your feel
ings or have shown my appreciation OF
your conduct towards me, it is not for
me to say. My whole past intercourse
with you is true and better answer 10
this question than any professions on
my part could be.
And now it is necessary for me to add
that all the brethren of the old diocese
are alike dear to me, and it IS equally
sad to sever the ties which unite me TO
those on the one side of the dividing
line. or on the other. But must choose
and, for reasons and existing clrcum-
stances which l need not mention, de-
eide to continue my connection with the
diocese of Virginia.
For the new dioceses and for each one
of its members, clerical and lay, l can
only earnestly invoke Gods ceaseless
and abundant Distinguishing
| Tirginidn.

Homancc and Tragedy.

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE the
details of the story Of romance and
tragedy are just made public. The at
fair took place in Harrison county,
Miss. a double wedding had been ar
ranged between two sisters named Lott,
The prospective bridegrooms being two
brothers named Sladc. The wedding
day was set, and the Slade brothers
came to Mississippi City to obtain the
necessary licenses. After the brothers
had left their homes TO procure the Ii
cGEscs one y. II. Jones appeared on the
scene. and it is said, persuaded the old
est sister to join Mr.. Wilmer Griffin,
rejected sutton, and this triumvirate
went to Berry county, where the young
lady and Griffin were married On the
day following the wedding Jones went
back to the home of the girls in a bug
gy. and, armed with Il Winchester rifle,
demanded an interview with the young
er sister He spent the day there, and,
it is said, tried TO persuade her to elope
with him. On the same day there
came to the house of the girl brother,
Robert Lott, and John S. Bum. That
night the Slade brothers came back
with their license. accompanied by an
other brother and brother-in-law.
What followed is known at present
from what can be CLEANED from
the testimony taken before X.
@. Breeland. 1t is this: Bum and
Jones went off together. Jones had
Jug of whisky. Bum says that Jones
wanted him to drink frequently, and
wanted him to go back to Lofts house.
Bum declined, saying he had no bust
ness there. Jones then pointed his
Winchester at Bunn's breast and said
that he must 90 back. Bum disarmed
Jones and laid the gun aside. Mean
while, they had built camp fire. Jones
then became exaspcrated with Bum,
and said he would return. He then
went for Bum with knife. They
were all by themselves in the woods. No
one was there to help Bum, so he picked
up the Winchester and shot his com
anton through the head. Bum then
went to Lofts house and told what he
had done. He could, however, get
none of the family to go and see if Jones
was dead or alive. He went to other
h, uses, but it was daylight before any
body would turn out in response to his
request, and when the scene of the
murder was reached Jones was dead.
Bum was arrested and arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace K. q. Bree-
land. and bound over in the sum of
$500 to await the action of the grand
Jury. now in session. The above state
ment is obtained from Squire Breeland

TIE SHIP OF THE DEsERT.-There IL
am Arab tradition cited in Burton's
Cold Mines of INDIAN" regarding the
creation Of the camel. which illustrates
the popular but erroneous opinion that
the animal is ugly in form and temper.
The story GOES, says the Christian In
feliigeacer, that when Allah determined
to create The horse he called the south
wind and said: Il desire to draw from
thee new being; condense thyself by
parting with thy luidity." The crea-
ton. then took a handful of this element,
blew upon it the breath Of life, and the
noble quadrurcd appeared.
But the horse complained against his
maker. His neck was too short to
reach the distant grass blades on the
march his back had no humpto steady
a saddle. his hooEs were sharp aud sank
deep into the sand, and he added many
similar grievances. Whereupon Allah
c!catcd the camel 10 prove the foolish
ness of his complaint.
The horse shuddered nj the sight of
what he wanted TO become, and this is
the reason every horse starts when
meeting lis c;,ricature for the first time.

THEY SNAPPED WIvEs.-A dispatch
from Blue Ridge, Henderson county,
\. c., says:
"a remarkable case of wife swapping
took place near the postoffice few
DAYS ago. The husbands are Ham Wa
tiers and Harrison Blanken5hip. TEey
were neighbors, and lived near each
other and visited every day. The men
fell in love with one another's wives.
The qualtette soon understood the
havoc Cupid had played'in the two fam
lilies, and very soon Blankenship and
Mrs. Waters eloped. They returned,
however, and the two women struck a
trade. Mrs Waters, thinking that she
was getting the best of the bargain,
gave Mrs Blankenship Mr.. Waters and
three calico dresses to boot. 1t was
then suggested that both couples ought
to marry. and the elopement of Blank
enship furnished the case demanded by
the North Carolina law for divorce
from the bonds Of matrimony. So suits
we're brought by the aggrieved husband
and wife, and DEGREES were obtained
There was then double wedding
Blankenship and Mrs. Waters, and Wa
tiers and Mrs. Blankenship. Both
couples are getting along well, and ev.
cry circumstance indicates that all par.
ties are contented.

UNNECESSARY WoRK.-It takes some
good Judgment on the part of the
housekeeper to know where and how
to slight her work. We see house
keepers who go through their daily
and yearly round of work, doing all
things well, and doing the unimportant
things as well as the most important
ones. Such q housekeeper. if she does
her own work, is of course drudge,
as any person must be who lays out the
same amount of effort on all things,
regardless of the results. and who ne
elects nothing that may be made sub
icct of work Some housewives have a
faculty for making work where there
is no need for it; they are naturally IN
dustrious and love cleanliness, and
their life is constant warfare against q
speck of dust or q misplaced chair or
something else that ofiends the imagl-
nation more than any requirements OF
their existence. With these people the
game is too often not worth the powder
that they expend to bring it down.
They are not discriminating in the APP
plication of their labor, and are just as
likely to direct it where it shows no
result as where it does. These women
never say die, and if their back is
broken their spirit is not. Their
treadmill is largely of their own crea-
ton. There is homework that is really
created by the worker. The science OF
housekeeping calls for the suppression
of work as we'll as for its correct per-
Torrance. and those housekeepers who
are incesSantly planning work might
better lay their plans to make some'oi
their work unnecessary.
