Miners StillOnf.

BRUssELs, Oct. 1S.-It was thought
that the strike of the coal miners in the
Charleroi district was at an end, but it
now appears that the Knights of Labor
have succeeded in reviving the trouble.
The knights of Labor have been con-
Quoting an agitation among the men,
and thousands OF them refused to 60 to
work. The movement OF the Knights
of Labor has no effect In the other
mining districts where the official labor
party is paramount. The latter is try
ing by every means in its power to
overcome the influence of the knights

1t was demonstrated at the recent
road convention in this city that
Brattleboro was easily the banner
town in the State in the matter of
general road Improvement, and it ap-
pears that that enterprising town
proposes to maintain it's record in
this respect. Having made a special
appropriation one year ago of $40, 900
for stone crusher plant for macad-
amizing its roads, it has continued the
good work this year by appropriating
$4,000 which, with the regular ax,will
give it $4,000 for the Improvement of
it's highways. Brattleboro's road
building is of permanent character,
and at the end of half dozen years
it will probably be able to boast of

T he $1,000 900 flour mill explosionin
Litchfeld, ILL.,, brings out afresh the
doubt whether any appliance will
ever be invented which can render
the milling process absolutely safe. Tt
is the dust that is dangerous and there
are two kinds of dust collectors in use
in the mills of latest erection. One is
for the "heavy" dust, the other for
''ight'' dust. The collector for heavy
dust is in the shape of an inverted
cone and has rotary pan at the base.
The collector for ''light' dust is in the
form of a wheel, the spokes being
made of strips Of flannel These fan
mel wheels are kept revolving in vari-
Gus parts of the mill and the particles
are absorbed by the texture. But the
principal safeguard against -four dust
is to have tight rollers. Then all the
particles Of wheat are ground into
flour and the dust is retained in the
manufacture.
