TO LIFT NAPLES.
An italian Engineer Would Construct Cd
Elevated RAILWAY There.


II the scheme elaborated b. an Ital-
ian engineer for the construction of
an elevated railway in Naples is car
ried into execution Italy will, accord
ing to the Electrical Review, possess
one of the most remarkable structures
in the world. As far as length is con-
cerned the projected line Is not of
great Importance, but the boldness of
the idea and its originality are strik-
ing. Let the imagination conceive the
billy portion of town connected by
means of viaducts and towers, with
that part lying at low level, and the
substance of A. Avena's project will
then be readily understood. The hand
some and populous part of Naples,
radiating from Via Roma, has only
communication with the Corso Wit
torio Emmanuel, the San Martina
hill, and the tat still higher level)
new Rione del Vomero by means of
narrow, tortuous streets, many of
them being impracticable for carriage
traffic 1t is between these two ex-
IRENE localities that the proposed ele-
waited railway is to form connection.
The line is to be carried on two metal
lie viaducts, each divided so as to form
a double way. one for the operation of
electric cars and the other for pedes-
trians. A masonry tower 800 feet high
is to be built in the Via Roma, and
from this the first viaduct, 1,1SO feet
long, will be carried to the Corso Wit
torio Emmanuel, where it will termi-
N 70. hn hnc 90
400 feet in height. The second via
duct. $50 feet long and branching out
OF this tower some distance below the
summit. will pass over the San Mar
tino hill and end in the ground level
at the new Rione del Vomero. The
vladucts will be carried on pyramidical
metallic towers having masonry fOun-
dations; and the masonry tower at
the beginning of the first viaduct and
the metallic tower, connecting the
two viaducts, will each be provided
with staircases and capacious lifts for
conveying passengers up and down
Passengers entering the cars at either
end of the line will not he compelled to
change their seats on arriving at the
metallic tower, as the cars will be au-
tomatically placed on the lifts for as
cending or descending from the high
est viaduct, when the cars will con-
tinuc their way to either terminus.
Generating stations will be provided at
each terminus for producing current
for lighting and power purposes. The
undertaking, a concession for which
has been granted. would provide o
splendid view of the whole of Naples.

She Won Her Point.

Nearly half a century ago q maiden
lady residing in Roxborough purchased
an Ak from George Davis, q hardware
dealer in Manayunk. The AK was in
constant service. and by its many trips
to the grindstone was worn down until
the steel blade was no longer of use.
Recently the old lady carried the pole
or head Of the Ak to Manayunk to have
. new blade inserted. Meeting friend,
he advised her to 60 to Davis store,
now kept by two sons of the former
proprietor, and get q new one in ex-
change, as the old one was warranted
to last life time. The two Davis
brothers protested against exchanging,
while the lady vehemcntly urged her
rights. A large crowd soon congre-
gated. everyone siding with the woman.
She finally triumphed, and walked out
of the store with brand new article,
waving it over her head as an emblem
of her victory over the firm.

NEWS OF OUR INDUSTRIES.

The production Of pig iron on NOvem-
Der was the largest ever known in this
or any other country. The weekly ca
pacity Of furnaces in blast was 1896
tons, an increase of nearly 10000 tons
over October 1, $4,000 tons over Septem-
ber l. At no time in 1892 was the out
put of iron so large. Stocks of pig iron
on hand declined from 41S,O0O tons on
October !, to $4,000 tons on November
], and $4,000 tons less than on July l.
This indicates that the consumption Of
iron is larger than ever before. Tho
price Of iron has not been maintained
recently. but the falling off is slight and
it follows sudden and extreme ad-
vances. There was a snarp decline in
the price of Bessemer iron in the valley
region to $13 last week. This is $4 per
ton below the highest figures in the late
summer, and 50 per ton above the low
est point last winter. Steel billets are
down to 80 in Wheeling and $3.50 at
Pittsburg.
General Manager Henderson, Of the
Reading Coal and Iron company, has
Just returned from two weeks trip to
various yards OF the company in the
West. He said yesterday that the con-
ditions were favorable in the West, and
there was big demand for anthracite
coal. The supply on hand was very
small. and In a number of cases some
" shS yoiuS Hdu oHIy dDOuC TWO sizes
Of coal on hand, and could not begin
to fill the orders At Chicago the sup
ply OF anthracite coal was very small
there being only about 25OO tons and
there should be at least $4,000 tons The
orders there are coming in very fast
and 1T Is impossible to fill them, not
withstanding the coal company has
been shipping all coal available to
points in the West. If there should be
a severe cold spell 1t is thought that
coal would take big jump, which
would make better prices in the East.
To-day the new anthracite coal freight
rates to Buffalo and points in the West
go into effect. AS the new rates arc
higher than those that have been In
effect for some time, the coal companies
have been shipping an immense am
cunt Of coal to BuffaIo, but it is thought
that these shipments will practically
end. and in future more coal will be sent
to tidewater points The situation in
New York and other Eastern cities Is
somewhat improved. and ii is thought
that II the coal which has been di.
verted from these points should be
shipped there that the shortage will
soon be over, and prices will be some
what easier.

by those individuals who have them
selves suffered the indescribable
wretchedness of that griev0us malady.
I was coming from Liverpool upon
one Of the famous liners, says Bishop
Potter. and. although the SKY was
clear and the weather warm. q some
what temDestuous sea had occasioned
more than the usual amount Of sea-
sickness among the passengers. AS I
paced the deck one afternoon noticed
lady reclining upon one Of the
benches. and the unearthly palor Of her
face and the languidity, Of her manner
indicated that she had reached that
state of collapse which marks the limit
Of sea-sickness.
Touched by this piteous spectacle I
approached the moor creature. and in q
most compassionate tone I asked:
Madam, can be of any service to
you?"
She did not open hereyes but I heard
her murmur family:
Thank you. sir. but there is nothing
you can do-nothing at ALL"
AT least. madam" said I tenderly.

She moved her head feebly and re-
piled:

But your husband, madam" said I,
'the gentleman lying there with his
head in your lap-shall I not bring
something to revive him?"
The lady again moved her head feeb-
ly and again murmured family be-
tween gasps:
Thank you, sir. but he-is-not-

The status of the litigation as regards
the projected consolidation of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific follows:
The suit which was brought by stock
holder of Great Northern to enjoin the
latter from effecting consolidation
with the Northern Pacific was tried in
the United States court at St Paul and
the decision was rendered In favor OF
Great Northern and it's right to CONSOLE
date with Northern Pacific. The plain
tiff in the suit then appealed the case
to the Supreme court, before which
briefs We're laid, and from which q de-
cision is expected before the end of the
year. This decision, 1t is understood,
will practically settle the question of
the legality Of the proposed consolida-
tton. There Is, however, another suit
pending In the State court in which a
decision has not vet been rendered. The
court Is expected to give its decision be-
fore very long. The principal interest
however, is in the case which is before
the Supreme court.

When General Mahone first entered
the Southern army he was an almost
hopeless dyspeptic. He had suffered
for many years the uncertain and un-
timely effects of that exaspering mala-
dy. He thought he should have fresh
milk every day in the field, for It had
formed part Of his daily diet at home.
SO he took q COW into the army and
carried the beast with him all through
the war. General Malone often related
the annOyances the COW caused him.
One time General Lee came to him
after the COW had been in the way. and
said: General, you will have to leave
