THE pusEY a JONES, FIVE WORK.
Magnificent Piece of machinery That
Cost $4,000 and Weighs 10 Tons--The
New GlnAs ALnnhinc for scrnhtnn.

New Glass Muchinc for Scranton.
A great deal of curiosity exists in the
city in regard to the new glass-rolling
machine just finished by tire Pussy &
Jones Co. for the Bonita Plate Glass Co.
of Scranton, Pa.
The machine weighs about rs tons.
Its measurements are, length, Al feet 8
inches; height over all IA feet 6 lnches
width over all, IA feet inches. II took
about years steady work to construct
and costs approximately $4,000.
The machine is for the purpose of
rolling plate glass on both sides and for
making embossed glass.
TIE ONLY MACHINE IN THE WORLD.
"This is the first effort in this coun.
try" said NJ, T. Patterson, Monday,
who is in churgo of construction, "and
l believe in the world, to make plate
glass by machinery. Hitherto it has
always been done by hand. This being
the tirst machine, and the patterns being
entirely new, 1t was an extremely criti-
cal and expensive job. II is as fine u
piece of machinery Of its kind as is to
be seen in the United States and reflects
great credit on the shops here"
GAVE PERFECT SATISFACTION.
The last trial of the machine was on
Thursday last, when it gave perfect sat
isfaction. The Scranton stockholders
OF the company were present and ex-
pressed their satisfaction upon the prin-
ciples on which the machine is built
and upon the workmanship.
A furnace 0 by IL feet was specially
constructed for testing. Both machine
and furnace are now being taken to
pieces. Outside the shop door where
the machine was built one of the large
plates on which the glass is to be rolled
lay on truck Monday. 1t looked the
size of small skating rink.
NEW PLATE GLASS ROLLING IDEA.
The new idea is to manufacture a
sheet of glass 10 by l6 feet, from to II
inches thick, and rolled on both sides.
For this purpose steel table with steel
beams and cast iron plates is made and
fastened in such a manner as to allow
OF temperature expansion. There are
two of them. The glass is poured on
one table, passed under the roll and
then under the second table which is in
an inverted position. The second table
is then lowered and the two tables
clamped together by special new
device. The two tables are then raised,
turned and lowered, thus transferring
the glass. The tables are then locked
the one in the inverted position is raised
and the table on which the glass was
resting is returned under the roll-thus
rolling the glass on both sides-a process
hitherto unknown in the manufacture
of plate glass.
NJ. L. Patterson of Philadelphia,
made the patterns and had full charge
of construction. 1t will take about six
cars to carry the big machine to its
home in Scranton. The shipment will
probably be made to-day.

ONE MAN AGAINST NINETEEN
A Desperate Fight Made by an
Omaha Jailer.
ALL THE PRISONERS RELEASED
But All Driven Back by the
Brave Keeper.
His Nerve and His Revolver Cowed tho
Desperate Criminals, and They We're
Prevented From Escaplng-The Jaiier
Sustains Injuries That May Prove Fatal.

OMAHA, NEB., Jan. 19.-Jailer S. G.
Ernest was passing along the corridor of
the first floor of the county Jail, last
evening, when he heard the noise of
scufiie on the second floor. On running
up he found two desperate characters,
named Defrance and Christensen,
fighting.
Without moments hesitation he
sprang into the cell to separate the mon.
Selling Defrance, the jailer pulled him
into the corridor, but was followed by
Christensen and attacked by both men.
A desperate struggle commenced, when
suddenly Christensen sprang back and
pulled the lever that unlocked every
cell on the floor.
Nineteen criminals burst forth and
drove the jailer into cell. Here they
beat and stamped on him, but with
heroic attempts he tore through the
mob and rushed down the corridor to
the office. The prisoners followed in a
wild dash for liberty, but just as the
mob, headed by Defrance, reached the
threshold, Ernest had grasped revolt
yer and billy and flashed the gun in
the leaders face.
The mob surged up to the doorway in
a frantic attempt to kill the jailer, but
his nerve and gun cowed the toughs
and they slowly and sullenly went back
to their cells, driven by Ernest.
The prisoners making the attempt
were all men sentenced to the peniten-
tiary or awaiting trial in defaulto of large
bail. Defrance, the leader, is sentenced
for life for interfering with the United
States mail service, and Christensen has
a long term for burglary.
Ernest is severely bruised and has in
ternal injuries, the result of being
trampled upon, which may prove fatal.

OF the fruit and food placed beside him,
he found the carboneros' camp droning
along peacefully in its everyday aspect.
His precious panniers were safe. No
harm had befallen him. The weird ey
periences of the previous night seemed
like half-caught memories of some fan
tastic dream.
Yet there were the burning charcoal
pyres. Tethered not far distant stood his
faithful donkey. Faint and distant
thuddings, like the proud boomings of
the prairie-fowl in northern frosty
springtime mornings, told Of the wood
choppers steady toll. Women and
children were carrying tree-limbs and
stacking them in pyrauidal piles. Ninas
and maidcns were going and coming
between cabins and mountain-sidU
fountains. Wise old Tomasa stood beside
her hut-door, stripping some cocoa
leaves and roots which with delicious
chicharones or pork-scraps were to serve
Tor the coming meal; and out there at
the camp-edGe was Matagas, still bare

The meek and lowly oyster can some

This careless duck, belonging to the
tribe known as FISHERMEN was swim

Oyster-a nice, fat, juicy oyster he was
with shell widely parted, feeding, doubt

diet upon which an oyster is supposed to
feed.
The duck. true to his greedy instincts.
dived for that supposed juicy morsel and
was about to swallow him whole without
salt or pepper even, when the angry pas

shells together caught the unsuspectlng
ducks bill in a yice-like embrace. The
duck rose to the surface, shook his head,
mumbled apologies through his tight-shut
mouth. but the bivalve's heart was hard
ened and he held on. Soon the constant
load pulling down his head and growing
weightier and weighter began to tire the
duck, and his neck arched lower and low

he was drowned.
