A Horrible Affair.

Winston, N. c., Nov. % The
particulars of a shocking affair
which occurred a few nights ago
in the mountain section of Stokes
county were brought here this
morning. Thomas Mabe was
running a brady distillery and
when he went to "a double and
filled a 140 gallon kettle with
nglings and backings it com
menced boiling over, ran down,
took fire as quick as powder and
caught the still. The cap was
blown off and the building was
soon filed with flames. The own
er was standing near the still
where his two sons lay asleep
on the floor. The burning liquid
ran over the boys. The father
and his sons made rush for the
door but it was locked and by
the time they succeeded in open
ing it the three men we're burned
so badly that they will die. The
house and it's contents. including
beveral hogs-heads of fruit, were
surned.

Does it Mean Business?

Mr.. John r. Bartlett, presi-
dent Of the Nlcaraguan Canal
Co., and Hon. Smith M Weed, of
the same company, sailed from
New York for Europe on We'd
nesday, in response to cables
from parties in London in regard
to pending financial negotiations.
1t will be remembered that G..
p. Treat. Chicago contractor,
who built the railroad for the
canal company, wrote the Manu>
facturers' Record last winter
that after thorough personal in
vestigation Of the route Of the
Nicaraguan Canal, he would be
willing to contract to build it for
the amount estimated as its cost
by the canal company's engin-
GERS. MIR. Treat was then III
London, and the supposition was
that he was having some nego-
tiations with English capitalists
looking to securing the money
for building the canal.
About ten days ago Mr. Treat
left Chicago for London, and it
is rumored that his visit is about
canal matters. This, in connec-
tion with the sailing Of Mr.. Bart
lett and Mr.. Weed, seems to in>
dicate that there is some deal Oh
hand which may lead, as has been
predicted several times, to the
building of the canal without res
gard to government aid. The
Manufacturers Record wants the
canal. but it believes that the
United States government ought
to control it in some way.-Bal-
timOre Manufacturers Record.

CALVERT VAUX DROWNED
The Body of the Famous Landscape Archi-
tect Found in New York Bay.

New York. Nov. 81.
The body of Calvert Vaux, the
famous landscape architect, who
mysteriously disappeared on
Tuesday from his sons home at
Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, was
found this morning floating in
the bay at the foot Of Bay Sew
enteenth street, Bensonhurst, by
Francis D. Fry, who saw the
body floating in the water and
dragged it ashore. The body
was dressed in the same clothes
as when Mr.. Vaux left home,
except that the hat was gone and
the shoe from the left foot was
missing.
No marks Of violence could be
discovered in d hasty examina-
ton Of the body, and it is sup
posed that Mr.. Vaux wandered
down to the shore and was accl~
dentally drowned He was in
the habit Of walking on the beach
and sometimes sat down to rest
on the piers that extend at sev~
eral points oyer the water. It is
thought that in his weak state on
Tuesday he was seized with a
fainLing spell and fell off into the
water.

THE OUTLOOK.

AS the Baltimore Manufactur-
er's Record says, the develop
ment Of the. West is to be far
more than duplicated in the
South. Here nature has given d
combination Of advantages no
where else equaled on the face of
the globe. Here are found coal,
timber, iron, cotton-the founda
ton of nearly all manufacturing g
wealth-and nowhere else are
these four found in the same re
gion.
The wealth of New England
and Great Britain, created out of
cotton manufacturing: the wealth
Of Pennsylvania, made cut Of
coal and iron, and the wealth of
| the Northwest, made from lum-
Der, are all to be duplicated and
concen trated in the South Add
to this, possibilities in agricul
ture that guarantee that this sec
tion can produce out of the soil
the entire country now yield; that
this favored climate will be
worth millions in annual incre-
ment of wealth because Of the
thousands-and soon to be hun
dreds of thousands-who seek
the South in winter for health
aud pleasure, and we can pOS~
sihly form some idea of what will
be seen during the next quarter
of century.
The whole trend of population
is now Southward. Thousands OF
Northern and Western farmers
are moving this way.
The West has for the time be
, ing been over-populated; econo-
mic changes beyond the control
of man are forcing manufactur.
ing interests to the raw mater
iai; the South is the most invit-
ing field in the world to the agri
culturist, and it has the raw ma
terials for industrial pursuits in
greater abundance and more
cheaply utilized than any other
equal area ON earth.
All these things are uniting to
!. inaugurate change in the
, South, which will be world wide
in its effect.

; tract the development to

REFINED SUGAR.

The only steaks eaten by
Americans of the towns on the
borders Of the great cattle ranges
are brought to them in refrigerators
from Chicago, Omaha and Kansas
City. Refined sugar for these isl.
ands has always been imported.
About every one supposes it comes
from the United States. 1t will
surprise people TO learn that at
least one of the large wholesale
houses of Honolulu gets its sugar
from China. The firm says it
comes to them quite fraction of a
cent cheaper than the goods of the
Coast refinery. They claim, too,
that it is better sugar,
A member Of this firm said: IF
the Western Refinery gave the
figures Of the Eastern concern it
would not pay us to buy from
China.
Labor is costly on the Pacific
coast. The refinery out there can
scarcely compete with the estab-
lishments of the East, to say
nothing Of Chinese rivals. Con-
siderable sugar from the Orient is
now shipped into San Francisco.

Birch wood is preferred The wood is
first sawed into sticks or o feet long and
seven-eighths of an inch to inches square,
according to the size of the spool to be pro-
duced. These sticks are thoroughly sea-
soned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in hot air kiln. At the time
they are sawed holes are bored perpendic-
ularly through each block, which is set on
one end under a rapidly revolving long
shanked auger. Next one whirl of each
little block against some little knives that
are turning at lightning speed fashions it
into spool, according to pattern desired,
and that, too, at the rate of one a second
for each set Of knives
A row of small boys feed the spool
making machines by simply placing the
blocks in n spout, selecting the best and
throwing out the knotty and defective
stock. The machine is automatic" but
there are some things which it cannot do;
hence the employment of the small boys
above mentioned. After the spools are
turned they are placed in a large drum and
revolved rapidly until they have taken on a
fine polish. For some special purposes they
are dyed yellow, black or red, according to
taste. When one sees spool of thread
marked 200" or 1900 yards" it does not
signify that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool has been gagged and is
supposed to have that amount of thread

sAKI.

A bill designed to place a tabu
on saki will be among the first
measures presented to the legisla-
ture. 1t will be a tariff amendment.
The point is to be a heavy specific
duty OIL liquors, distilled wholly
or in part from rice That means
saki.
The writer asked Mr.. Goro Ma.
rita, Japanese legation secretary
what he thought Of it. That clever
gentleman said Whether or nc
this would be discrimination against
a japanese product is a question tc
be settled when it is presented. o.
course we would oppose at once
anything that savored of impartial
ity." Mr.. Marta has evidently
given the subject considerable at.
tention. He advanced an idea that
has been gradually dawning upon
some of our publicists. 1tmay now
assume definite form. He say:
there can be no objection on the
part of Japan to the admission o
any or all American goods free
1t is shrewdly suspected that Mr.
Marta is not unacquainted with thu
fact that the sentiment here is de
cidedly against liquor duty free
Opinion rather has the prohibition
tendency.
1t is not likely that any plan ell
tirely practical and acceptable vii
be offered under the head. The fu
ture holds a saki campaign of con
siderable dimensions.
John E. Bush, from his place o
temporary retirement, declares wa

is classically known as "a self
