6nek employees Inere were present R6
this meeting Agent Straw, Of the Amos
keag; Agent McDuffee, Of the Manches-
ter mill; Agent Bourne, of the Stark,
and Agent Knight, Of the Amory. They
stated although they were reluctant at
first to reduce wages, they found them
selves obliged to do so. The cut down
will be graded according to circum-
stances, some being less, some more than
10 per cent. The new schedule will go
into effect Immediately at Amoskesg,
and in the other mills October 2. Agent
Straw, Of the Amoskssg corporation, has
received orders to start up the Jefferson
mills, which are owned by the Amosksag
corporation, on Monday. They employ
about 1900 hands. The other mills are
running full time and keeping all their
help busy, except the Stark, which en-
ploys at present only about ree-fourths
Of its full quota. Agent Straw could not
tell when the rest Of the Amoakesg,
which employs 5000 hands, would start
up, but he said he would hope soon.
CINCINNATI, O.-Presidsnt Ingalls, met
the committee Of the trRinmen of the
Big Four yesterday afternoon, and re-
Oeived from them request for revocs-
tion Of the order to reduce their wages.
Mr.. Ingslls,in avery few words,gsve them
polite but firm refusal, saying q confer
ence or discussion was useless. They
were asked if he would see the chiefs of
the various orders; this he agreed to do,
but it is not likely he will yield to them,
and strike seems inevitable.
LOUISVILLE, KY.-The striking shop
men Of the Louisville & National Com
pRny are Of the belief that the railroad
management is attempting to secure me-
chanics from other cities to take their
places. To an associated press corre-
spondent this morning District Master
Mechanic Charles A. Brown said that he
had yesterday personally met three ma
chinists who came here at the solicitR-
tion Of the Louisville 6 Nashville peo-
pie. Two Of the men were from Chicago
and the other was from New York. Mr..
Brown explained the situstion to them
and respectfully requested that they re-
main away from the shops. The men
said they had not heard the shopmen
were on strike, and Immediately prom
ised to return home, which they did. A
report became current this morning that
the shopmsn along the line of the COM
pany, and possibly the entire Newport
News & Mississippi Valley system, Of
which the Chesapeake, Ohio & South
western is branch, were contemplating
a strike. Notice Of 10 per cent. reduc-
tion was posted in the shops yesterday.
The reduction will not 90 into effect,
however, until the first Of next month"
Dun's weekly review Of September %,
in summing up the operations Of the
week, says:
Greater progress has been made dur
ing the past week than in any other
since the panic in the resumption Of bus
iness. More manufacturing works have
actually resumed operations in full, and
fewer have stopped, though in large
number Of instances the return to work
has been with reduction Of wsges."

County Clerks Fees.

NADER"
"Is not the clerk liable upon his bond
and also liable to criminal prosecution
for retention Of feesS"
The above questions, propounded by
w. M. Duffy, county clerk OF Harper
county, have lately occupied some OF the
attorneys generals attention. The fact
that by special acts Of legislation the
clerks pay in some counties is q regular
salary, while in others it depends upon
the fees received, seems to have led to
some confusion on the subject. This
the attorney general has attempted TO
strsighten out in bis answer, which is "a
follows:
"The general statutes Of 1889, sections
S0l4 and 3016, inclusive, specify the sala-
ries that shall be paid to the county
clerks Of the several counties. The third
line Of section 3Ol4 reads: As full COM
pensation for their services The third
line OF section 30l5 reads: As full com
pensRtion for their services The sixth
and seventh lines Of scott N 30l6 read:
The salary herein allowed shRll be In
full for services OF every nature per-
formed by said clerk or his deputies.
Section BOLT provides for the payment Of
the clerk; the third and fourth line Of
said section read: Provided, that the
amount charged by each county clerk as
fees herein provided for the preceding
quarter shall be first deducted from said
quarterly instsllment' Section BOIL
reads, in the first three lines: The
county clerk in each county shall
charge and collect from the party re-
quiring his services, for the Uss of the
county, the following fees. Section 30l2
requires him to keep an account Of said
fees in q book to be provided for that
purpose. Section 3013 requires him to
make to Ghe county commissioners under
oath q detailed statement Of the amount
Of fees by him received during the pre-
oeding quarter, together with the amount
OF fees charged and which are due and
unpaid, and the same shall be fled with
the register of deeds Section 3O18
provides that it any county clerk shall
fail to make to the county commission.

forfeit $40 for each day he shall neRli-
gently fail to do so. And the same sec.
ton provides thatif amy board Of county
commissioners shall audit and order to

made and sworn to by the county clerk
as herein provided, each member Of said
board shall be subject to q fine Of 500

The company that has put Niagara in
harness opened a tunnel from point
near where the water begins to tumble
and ran it through the ground dis
tance of 6,700 feet to an outlet on the
Niagara river. The tunnel is brick
lined, twenty-onef feet high and nineteen
feet Wide-large enough to run two
standard gauge railroad tracks through.
There is slope for the first 5000 feet of
seven feet to the thousand. After that
the slope is four feet to the thousand.
The force developed by the descent Of
this weight OF water is seized by enor-
nous turbine wheels, and it is proposed
to sell it. to consumers of horse power
pretty much as sugar or flour are sold.
Three Distinct Ideas.
Three points of interest confron t
those who study the wonderful feat in
hydraulic engineering performed by the
Cataract Construction company, the
builders who undertook to construct
the works for the Niagara Falls Power
company, which owns them. The
separate undertakings are, first Of all,
the inlet canal, which includes an OPEN
ing with locks and other works con-
trolling the flow of water into the tun-
mel itself. Then comes the tunnel, and,
last of all, the wheel pits and turbinel
wheels which grind out the power;
These are the main plant of the power
company which produce the force in
which it deals.
1t was In 1886 that the legislature con-
ferred on the predecessor of the present
company the right to take water from
the Niagara river above the falls, and
to bniId the works which are necessary
for the conversion of water into power.
Under the plans first prepared, there
were to be produced 119. 900 horse power.
equal to 23S factories of 500 horse power
each. These plans have been modified
in some respects.
The company that built the harness
for the falls and that which will drive
them when they have been put into the
shafts, if such a metaphor is permis-
sible, are closely related. OF the former.
which is Incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey, Edward D. Adams is presi-
dent, Francis Lynde Stetson first vice
president, Edward A. Wickes second
vics president, and William B. Rankine
secretary and treasurer. An army of
engineers is attached to the construction
company.
Rodgers and Clement. of New York,
built the main tunnel, which cost about
$l,000,00o. Two shafts were Also sunk

erty acquired. Contracts were made
for the construction Of houses for forty
families. Additional houses will be
built to keep pace with the demand.
No sooner did the tunnel, canal and
wheel pit near completion than the real
magnitude of this undertaking began to
manifest itself. To manufacturers who
would locate here adequate shipping ia
cilities were necessary, and so the Nj
agara junction Railway company was
incorporated. This road. which is now
nearly completed, extends through the
company's estate. 1t will cover the res
idential and manufacturing district. and
give direct connection between each
manufactory and the great trunk lines.
The First Sale of Power.
The first contract for power made by
the Cataract Construction company for
the Niagara Power company was with
the Niagara Falls paper company. This
was for use Of S,0O0-horse power un-
developed, at an annual rental of s24,
900 a year, and an additional 5000
horse power, to be taken within
two years thereafter. at the annual

from the surface to the tunnel below,
one at a point $500 feet and the other
$500 feet from the tunnefS mouth. The
work of driving the tunnel was similar
in style to that used by miners. A top
heading eight feet high was driven first,
then a bench seven or eight feet high
was cut away and the remainder taken
out in the bottom bench. This is the
''Stepladder" plan, which nearly every
body has seenapplied in quarries. Com
pressed air did the drilling.
Lined with Brick.
When the tunnelsshafts were being
driven the main difficulty was the
copious inflow of water. This water
stratum, however, was confined to the
first sixty feet, and basins were cut in
the rock to catch it before it reached
the bottom. From these the pumping
was done.
After the tunnel had been driven it
was decided to line it with brick, as the
formation OF rock was generally of such
character that it might not withstand
the action of the water, The tunnel
was lined throughout with from fourfto
six rings. 14,0O0,000 bricks being used
throughout. -
In contour the tunnel is of horseshoe
shape. In making it there were re-
moved altogether. 100000 tons of rock.
One Of the most important points in the
whole construction was the portal where
the water will discharge into the river
below. the falls. An excavation was
made forty feet dowu below the level of
the water i'll the river TO a solid ledge of
sandstone, and there mass of masonry
was built to the invert. This was so
constructed as to make an absolutely
safe outlet that could never be disturbed
by the action of tile water which may be
discharged from the tunnel or the flow
of the river. TO make sure of the
solidity of the sandstone base of this
masonry diamond drill b0rings were
made for ten or twelve feet into the
stone. The tunnel for 100 feet from its
mouth is lined with heavy steel plates.
The main inlet canal is 1,5O0 feet long
and 230 feet wide at the mouth, taper
ing to $50 feet at the end, and is IL feet
deep at extreme low water. 1t has
twenty-one sluice gates, each capable of
