Battery l. Gets a Chance to Avenge the
Death of Their Murdered Comrades.
SACRAMENTO. Cal. July 1.-THE kill
ing of four members of Battery l., Fifth
artillery, in the train wreck at the
trestle two miles from Sacramento on
Wednesday last was in a measure
avenged by the regulars belonging to
the same company yesterday. two men,
both, however, claiming not to
be strikers, being shot, one of whom
lies mortally wounded and cannot long
survive.
Shortly before II o'clock Division
Superintendent Wright ordered a
switching engine and fiat car to clear
the track along Front street contigu-
Gus to the headquarters of the strik-
ers. Fearing that an attempt would
be made to shoot the engineer and
fireman, Capt. Roberts and Lieut..
Skerrett. of Battery l.. with a number
of men went along in the fiat car.
When the train reached the freight
sheds of the railroad company near I
street crowd gathered there was or
dered to disperse by Capt. Roberts.
The men jeered at the soldiers and
Roberts ordered his men to charge
them with bayOnetS.
just then several shots were fired.
but whet her from the crowd or from
the roof of the freight sheds, occupied
by number of men, it is not posi-
lively shown. But this was just the
moment the regulars had been wait
ing for and they returned the fire with
zest. AS the reports of their rifles
rang out the crowd fell back and two
men dropped to the ground.
AS soon as the firing was heard the
first United States marine corps. I'M
der Capt. Bergman, started on a
double-quick for the scene of the shoot
ing and charged the crowd with fixed
bayonets, causing them to quickly dis
perse.
The victims of the shooting were at
once taken to the hospital, where they
gave the names of John Stewart
and Frank Buckley. Stewart. who
was, until recently. sailor on the L.
S. S. Alliance, was shot in the back, the
bullet tearing through the abdomen,
infiicting fatal wound. Buckley,
who is an anarchist, was shot through
the right arm and shoulder and will
probably recover.

Faults in Conversation.

Dean Swift once said: There are two
faults in conversation which appear
very different, yet arise from the same
root and are equally biamable: I mean
an impotence to interrupt others. and
the uneasiness of being interrupted our
selves. The two chief ends of CONVEX
sat;cn are to entertain ard ir-rrove
those we arc am ing c1. to receive those
bene its ourselves: which whoever will
consider can not possibly run into
either of those two errors. because
when any man specl:eeh in company it
IS 70 BIC supposed he doth it for his
hearers sake and not his own: so that
common discretion viii teach rs not to
fierce their attention, if they are not
willing to lend it: nor on the other
side, to interrupt him who is in possess
sion. because that is in the grossest
manner to give the preference to our
own yool cense. '-Tc.e;io Blade.

HOW SLATE IS MINED.
Fonderful Skill of Those Who Cut 1t Up
for Various Purposes.

The manner in which slate is mined
and cut up for purposes to which it is
applied Is process that is known to
only few people because slate is not
found in many places in this country,
its principal sources being in upper
New England and eastern Pennsyi-
vania. It is not taken out of shafts,
but it is quarried out of big holes in the
earth. Some time ago when the
writer was at Bangor, Pa. he was in
vited to go down into one of these
quarries, about two hundred feet deep,
and overland on a rope, but he de-
clined the invitation, as l think most
inexperienced persons would do. The
slate is blasted out in huge blocks and
is hoisted out by steam and turned
over to The men who know how to re-
duce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men, who cut a notch into one end
each piece. Then they take chisel
and a mallet, and they are so skillful
in directing their blows that they can
split the blocks of slate in almost any
way they please. If you watch the
slab on which one of them is working
you will see little hair line running
through it, and presently the block
VIII fall apart on either side of this
mark. The workman will make this
line go straight through the middle or
to either corner just as he likes. do
not know just how he does it, but he
invariably accomplishes what he sets
out 20 do.
The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness for roofing slate.
This they do with long-bladed in
strument about the shape of a putty
,,.nife, but many times larger, and if
you saw them dc it you would marvel
how they got the sheets off without
breaking them and also how they could
split them SO thin. Some of these men
can take a sheet of slate only one inch
thick and split it thirty-two times.
The usual number of divisions is six
teen. The sheets are taken and cut
into squares by machinery.

LESSONS IN SWIMMING.
Suggestions for Feminine Aspirants to the
Delightful Art.

Suggestions for Feminine Aspirants to the
Delightful Art.
The woman who can not swim has
just one Interchangeable does not know
the delight she is missing. Only those
who have experienced the bliss of
cleaving the waters with steady strokes
and of feeling themselves borne up by
the waves know anything about the
joys which non-swimmers miss. To
learn to swim the first requisite is con-
fdence-almOst reckless confidence.
The woman who is absolutely sure that
the water will do its part towards bear
ing her up has learned at least half
her lesson. Then she wants teacher
of strokes. and no better one
can be found than an athletic
young brother who has been in the
habit of receiving annual chastisement
about the LIST of May for going in too
soon. If she has not such a valuable
possession. a swimming school, with
its instructors. is not bad. But the
best school is the sea, and the best
teacher some skillful companion.
The pupil will not find the arm
stroke difficult, but she will discover
an awful tendency on her part to let
her legs drag behind her motionless.
An excellent way to counteract this
tendency is to have a piece of board
small enough to be lightly clasped at
the edges and light enough to float
even when SO caught. and to hold the
hands stationary on this while practic-
ing the.foot motion.
1t is difficult to acquire the graceful
art if one wears flannel garments of
many folds. The most sensible swim
ming outfit consists of a short-sleeved
blouse and a divided skirt of light
weight jersey. Or one may wear tight
fitting trousers and short skirt over
them, but the style which gives the
most freedom to the legs is to be pre-
ferred. Stockings are worn, but the
sandals should be kicked off as soon as
one passes the pebbly portion of the
beach. In every possible way the
swimmers movements should be I'M

New York labor leader failed to give

The conspicuous feature of the market to-day
was the buying for London account Round
amounts of the usual foreign fayorites were
taken. and while the succeeding trading was
largely of professional nature the strength OF
prices was held to the end. The same feature
of European purchases was noted in the bond
market. and the increase bills drawn against
the absorption of American securities has caus-
ed another weakening in the actual rates OF
sterling exchange. Itwould appear that Lon
don had received definite assurances as to the
character of the Presidents message on the
Bland seigniorage bill, and it is the general ex-
pectation here that veto will be sent to Con-
gress tomorrow. RumorS have been current OF
progress in some of the plans of reorganization
which may have been partly instrumental in
bringing foreign buying into the market. The
advance in Wheat, while based on a crop scare,
has revived more hopeful feeling in that GER
eal and even should short crop result from
bad weather conditions there might be a better
ing of agricultural prospects in case higher VAL
ues should become probable. AS to the future
of the stock speculation much depends upon
whether realizations will be too freely attempt

very light, but continuance of foreign support
might widen the circle of purchasers. The
tariff remains as an element of uncertainty at

take on favorable Washington developments, it
still seems wise to operate conservatiyely, but it
looks as if purchases might be made with safe
