Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
NEW CASTLE, Aug. 14-"What we
want now, said a public spirited citizen
to an EVENING JOURNAL reporter last
night. is that fine old brass cannon
which WilmiDgtonians. who had come
over here on rush, took from
us in the spring Of 1862 We
want that gun TO mount beside
our new wharves and salute
some of the handsome home and foreign
vessels that pass mp and down the river
during the evening, and we ought TO
have IT, tell you she was a daisy.
Mounted on an ornamented carriage, the
seven. foot gun looked great down along
the river front.
1--WE got the gun through the Efforts
Of Win Whiteley in Congress and we
were the happiest lot Of people you ever
saw when we got her here to salute
the FIRST ocean steamships that ever
ploughed the waters OF the
Delawnre-the City OF Glasgow
and the Manchester and we did salute
them, too, when they came 10 sight. We
were so reckless with her that when the
first shots were fged tho wad flew out
and struck q. w. Hastings in the face
and left a scar there for many days. We
thought he had been killed
But some Wilmington fellows got an
idea that we had a rebel company drill
ing IN secret here We hadn't,
but they would hear no expars-
tion and they came over here with the
stars and stripes and took our cannon.
Now can't you ascertain what has become
Of herr We want her badly now"

ment which win bring clouds after sun

NEW CASTLE, Aug 13 1894
To the Citiz ems of New Castle.
The City Cornet Band, for the lack Of
interest on the part OF the citizens
financially, will be compelled to disoon-
tinue the Saturday evening concerts as
the expense Of these concerts amount to
far above the expectations Of the band
and the contributions are so small on
Saturday evening II our lovers OF
music would appreciate these concerts
enough 60 only give one cont apiece,
10 would be twO-thlrds over the amount
now received. Respectfully,
INTERESTED MHMBERs OF BAND.
II Is thought, however that the col
lectors now at work soliciting fund for
the maintenance Of these concerts on the
new pier will raise enough cash TO pay
the expenses OF the baud and more be-
sides. This will insure the continuance
Of the concerts.

The park commission met yesterday
morning with Mr.. Mesmer in the chair.
Action with regard to the construo-
tion OF a reservoir in Holen beck park
was deferred.
1t was decided to provide gate in
Echo park. go that the water cannot be
drawn below the water level.
On motion E. Loundes was requested
to appear before the board and report
what progress had been made by him
on the typographical map OF Elysian
park.
The secretary and superintendent
were directed to prepare regulations
with regard to morality in the different
CITY parks, as it had been frequently
reported that the parks were used for
immoral purposes after nightfall.
1t was decided to postpone action on
the plans for proposed waterfall in
Westlake park for one week, as the COM
mission did not want to incur too much
expense on this improvement.
The superintendent was instructed to
complete the waterway above the East

HOW SLATE is MINED.
f1OW OLA = 10 MiNGO.
The Wonderful Skill of the Worl1men Who
Cut 1t Up.

The manner in which slate is mined
End cut up for purposes to which it i
applied is process that is known to
only few people in this country, it,
principal sources being in upper Nev
England and eastern Pennsylvania. L
is not taken out of shafts, but it is quar-
ried out of big holes in the earth. Som,
time ago, when the writer was at Ban
gor, Pa, he was invited to go dow
into one of these quarries, about 20t
feet deep and overland ON rope, but
he declined the invitation, as 1 think
most inexperienced persons would do
The slate is blasted out in huge block
and is hoisted out by steam and turnea
over to the men who know how to re
duce it to tho proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men, who cut notch into one end Of
each piece. Then they take a chisel and
mallot, and they are so sllillful in di-
recting 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 tho block will fall apar,
on either side of this mark. The work
men will make this line go straight
through the middle, OF to either cornol
Just as he likes. / do not know just how
he does it, but he invariably accom-
plishes what he sets out to 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 instrument
about the shape Of putty knife, but
many times larger, and if you saw
them do it you would marvel how they
got the sheets only one inch thick and
split it 32 times. Tho usual number Of
divisions is 16 These sheets are taken
and cut into squares by machinery.
Wherever there are slate quarries you
will find great many Welshmen, for
the best skaters come from Wales Boys
follow the trade of their fathers, and
there ire whole families and settlements
who know no other means Of earning
living. Now York Advertiser.
