tie-up which has been in progress for :he
last three days is over and cars on all
lines are running as usual. The old EN-

factory understanding with the company.
The understanding is believed to be that
all the old men 80 back at Il reduction of
10 per cent on the regular scale, pay be-
ing continued for the three days of idle
ness. AS this vas the first proposition of

them. A committee of prominent citi-

CHOLERA IN ENGLAND.

London, Sept. 5.-Speaking Of the pres
ence of cholera in England, Sir b. Walk
er Foster, parliamentary secretar: to
the local government board. said il the
house Of commons last evening that the
situation OIL the various ports on the
Humber was was very unsatisfactory.
The local government board had been
informed only last week of the existence
of a fatal form of diarrhoea at Grimsby
and other Humber ports, and had Mt once
made n most careful examination of the
condition of affairs. 1t showed that the
fatal disease was not diarrhoea, but
cholera. The boards Investigations also
showed that there had been three deaths
from cholera at Hull. The gravity Of
the situation was not demonstrated by
the actual number of deaths that had
occurred. but by the long time that the
disease had prevailer.

Impression. ON the Brain.

1t is computed by leading physiolog-
lists that since one-third of Il second suf-
fees to produce an impression on the
brain, a man who has lived to be 100
years old must have collected upon
the folds of his brain matter at least
9,4G7, $4,000 impressions. Or, again
take off onc-third for sleep, and we find
6.311, $4,000 indentations 80 memory's
finger marks-on and in the brain. This
would give 3,155, 100000 separate wax
ing impressions to the man who lives
to be but fifty years old. Allowing an
average weight of four pounds to the
brain, deduct o%ne-fourth for blood and
other vessels and attachments, and an
other fourth for external i%ntegument,
and we still find that each separate
gram of brain matter contains 205, 542
traces or impressions Of ideas.

the Address of Welcome.

Indianapolis, Sept. 5.-This city is alive
with bunting and other decorations IN
honor of the encampment of the q. A. Il.
Everything is made as convenient as pos
sible for the visitors. All through the
night the SAUNDERS of the guests at the
hotels were disturbed by the patriotic
music and the tattoo of drums, as one
delegation after another came marching
up to their quarters. Between 6 o'clock
and noon six special trains loaded with
the Iowa, Pittsburg and other Pennsyl-
army, detachments and other companies
from Northern Indiana. The Masonic
Temple hall was comfortably filled with
gray haired salts when at 10 o'clock the
eighth annual convention was called to
order by Admiral Osborne of New York.
All of the officers answered to the roll
call save Fleet Paymaster Alex G.
Fortier of Buffalo, against whose admin
istration of the finances of the organiza-
ton charges have been preferred. The
convention was opened with q prayer by
Rev. Altman of Brooklyn, who afterwards
i'll presenting his report commented upon
the fact that the number of the veterans
who had passed away during the year
was considerably less than for any year
previous. In his annual address Com
malder Osborne insisted that the naval
veterans were entitled to the full meas

convention took a recess.
A large number of veterans from the
East and West availed themselves. of
the opportunity of paying their respects
to ex-President Harrison ,t his home in
North Delaware street.
NOW that a majority of the delegates
are on the grounds the preliminaries Of
the contest for the next commander-in-
chief are beginning to wax warm and
several new candidates have appeared in
the held. Among these are Col. Charles

next encampment is Lincoln, Neb.
Yesterday afternoon Camp Wilder was

CONDOR
Huge. Bird Shot on the Edge of the
DeAert.

Huge. Bird Shot on the Edge of the
Desert
Archibald Campbell, writing from
Laguna, on the edge of the desert, un-
der date Of Aug. 1, says: To-day as
Henry E. Clark was riding near the
lagura he noticed a large bird among
some carriOn crows, eating at a steer
which had died from a rattlesnake bite.
1t flew up into a tree, where he shot
it with a rifle, and the shot broke it's
thigh. 1t then few away among some
rocks, when he threw his RATA over it
and caught it, and it tried to get away
and nearly endorsed him. He gave it
another shot through the wing and
disabled it. He brought it home and
it measured 10 feet 3 inches across the
wings and 4 feet 4 IL inches long from
the beak to the end of the tail. Valen-
tine, the captain of the Indians, says
it is a female and not near so large as
the males. The males have the under
part III white, while this is pretty
dark. I think it is the cathertes vul-
turinus, also called the California vult-
ure, which approaches the condor in
size and has wings even longer in pro-
portion. 1t is very little inferior to
the condor in spread of wings, which
natural history says often spread to
more than 10 feet, with a length of i
feet. Last Sunday, as a party of us
were out on the high peaks overlooking
the desert, three of the birds kept cir
cling around overhead, and now and
again by far the biggest Of the birds
would swoop down suddenly toward
Ills and make such ugly demonstrations
that the ladies got scared, and we all
left on that account. I think their
young were in the cliffs above us and
they wanted to scare us away. The
biggest was whittier underneath than
the other two, and I think that it was
one of these smaller birds that was shot.
Mrs. Wiegar from San Diego, who is
up here on a visit, skinned the bird,
and on her return will take it with her
and put it on exhibition at the chamber
of commerce. They are very rare here
now. Valentine says they used to be
very numerous here when he was
young. Two years ago we used to see
a solitary vulture every now and again,
but he disappeared, and now these
three are to be seen e the same
place. This one, l think. could have
easily carried off q spotted fawn. a
young calf or a baby.-San Diego Sun:

IRON MINING.
Rapid Work of a Steam shovel In a

Mine Near Duluth.
The most revolutionary thing that
has ever occurred in the history
Of iron mining in America or the world
Is now In actual progress on the Mes
aba range, and is proving successful.
1t will do more to alarm the miners
CT old ranges than any other thing
that could happen.
All the Biwable mine, in section
1886, Gre loading is going on directly
from the ore body, lying as nature left
1t, at the rate of a twenty-four-ton car
every four minutes. The ore is loaded
by q steam shovel Of two-ton capacity,
which is working ahead into the end
of a cut. When the cut is completed
and the shovel is able to work sideways
the work will be easier, for there will
be less distance to traverse. The
shovel handles about four tons q min
ute, and is loading about 500 tons daily.
This week it begins on Il 1,OOO-ton daily
output, and shipments will be large.

handled with much ease. The cost Of

The cost Of loading the ore from
the natural bed without explosives,
underground workings, air shafts and
pumming machinery, is less than 4
cents a ton; total mining cost, 0 cents

luth, so cents; freight from Duluth to
Cleveland, commission, etc., $1.35; to-
tai at Cleveland, $2;47; value of ore
laid down at Cleveland this season,
$3.75; ordinarily, $4.25. The cost Of
mining the hard ore of the Minnesota
mines at Tower is stated to be $1.65
a ton, and the last government geo.
logical report states that this com
pany raises more ore per nal than
any hard-ore mine in the United States.
AS this machine handles as much
more ore in four minutes as II man
can do in a day, its adoption in the
mines all through America may be
looked for. 1t will throw thousands
