TAKES THE MEDAL.

"While camping in Alabama during the late war,o said Col H. c. Crossman of Dayton, O., to St. Louis Globe Demo- crat reporter, "I witnessed an attack of a band of black ants upon striped snake. One evening, while I was trying to go to sleep after long day's march, felt some- thing move under my head. l lifted one corner of the blanket and found snake between and feet h length quickly hit it with a small stick, but the reptile seemed hardly stunned by the blow, so I picked it up on the end of the stick and threw it about 15 feet away. The snake landed on large ant hill. Almost instantly the ants poured forth from their nest which was underneath, and began g, vigorous at- tack upon the intruder, who was soon covered by scores of his assailants, biting him fearfully. The battle ragged with fury, the snake wrlthing about in torture. The contest at first seemed all un, n,qual one, for the snake was rapidly thinning out bis prosecutors, but on the other hand the ants were very numerous and quick ia their aggressive movements. The snake, with one blow of his tail, would kill or wound long line of ants, but the active little creatures were soon relnforced by fresh troops and fought with des speratiou wonderful to behold. l was astonished beyo measure 10 see the tactics of the ants. When they saw their numbers were being lessened they dis patched couriers for fresh relays of soldiers, who appeared on the scene in due time to replace the killed or wounded. The moon after time lit up the scene, but as there appeared no near termination of tbe strug- gle gave up atching 1t, and, stretching myself again on my blanket, went to sleep. Before striking tents the next morning l went to look at the battle ground. The slain insects were scattered in every direc- ton, out there were six or seven watchful ants upon the back of the snake, which lay stretched out dead near the ant hill.'

ONE THOUSAND OF THE STRIKING OPERA
 TIvEs BACK TO WORK TO-DAY.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 29.-The north end was astir an hour earlier this morning than at any time since the great strike clogged the wheels of industry.
 As early as 5 o'clock operatives with din- ner pails in their hands and overalls and aprons under their arms were to be seen vending their way to the Bennett < Co., lumbia mills. Hundreds of employees of other mills-some impelled by curiosity, others moved by the hope of securing em- ployment-turned their faces in the same direction. Promptly at 6;30 the buzz, hum and whir of machinery replaced the silence which has reigned since the greatest strike in New Bedford's history became master of the in- dustrial situation. Not all of the army of workers attached to these great enterprises were so fortunate as to be able to resume their labors. Some were destined to disap- pointment. Columbia mills No. 2 still re- main silent aud in the No. mill seven or eight pairs of mules are still idle. Three pairs of mules in the Bennett mill No. 2 were not started, and five pairs in No. mill are not in operation. The exact num- Der by which the ranks of unemployed has been curtailed by the starting up Of these mills cannot be determined, but probably about 1000 are now at work at these plants.

 of an inch above the level of the floor, hardly enough to be noticeable by the man as he steps upon it. Immediately three deputies will pinion the mans legs, place the cap over his head and adjust tho moose.
 The warden occupies position directly in front of the condemned man. In this position he has a clear view of the prisoner, and also of a dial over the door through which the man must pass.
 Instantly the platform settles lever is worked which releases an adjustable slid ing valve at the bottom of a cylinder co, containing 30 pounds of shot. Like the sand in an hourglass, the shot runs out of the opening. This allows 8 plunger (B) to drop slowly into the cylinder. As this falls it pulls cord (E), attached to which is compound lever (F), and also works the dial giving warning as to tho prog ress of the machine. This mechanism can be set for any time desired. As tho cord tightens and is pulled downward by the plunger it slowly opens the compound lever which at certain angle, perfectly adjusted, pulls bolt, and the great dead weight (D) is released
 As the big weight falls down the grooved track to the ground under the building the hempen rope running over pulleys on a cross beam (F), will quickly jerk the condemned man seven feet into the air. On the drop there will be rebound, and the man will be suspended with his feet about two feet from the fioor.
 The mechanism is inclosed by a parti- tion along the entire side, so that nothing can be seen by the condemned man except the moose. The machine works noiseless- y. and the weight falls upon soft dirt

IRON NOTES.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Iron Age will tomorrow say Less and less is being heard of the scarcity of coke and to judge at the rate which the furnaces west of the Allegheny mountains are going in, the supply of Bessemer pig promises soon to be ample. The market has weakened in the west and quotations in Pittsburg now stand $11. 75 to $11. .65. Ia the east, how ever, there is still some scarcity.
 Chicago has been active in the billet market closing about SIS for delivery in it's own district and taking some orders further east. Some business has been done in Pittsburg for September and October delivery at S16. S5 to Sl7. Raw material is certainly cheap. Reports nave it that Me. saba ore has been offered below $2.25 at lower leke ports. A significant fact is that American cotton tie makers have captured orders during this week in competition against free foreign cotton ties. Ability to make quick delivery helped them. In the metal trade matters are adjusting them selves to the lowest basis demanded by the new tariff
