cred new casus belli.-Brooklyn Life
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-12-28

In casting steel there has always been
more or less difficulty from the tendency
of tho melted metal to splash. This pro.
duces flaws and cracks on the surface of
the ingots used for forging guns. These
ingots weigh five tons and upward. It
naturally arises that such large quantity
of metal falling from q height into the
molds would spntter and splash. The par
ticles thrown off cool rapidly and are pro-
ductivo of great deal of trouble BY a
new and simple method this Is prevented.
A tube is prepared Of thin sheet iron, such
as is used for roofing. The tube is "a inch
os i'll inside diameter and is suspended from
an iron ring, to Which thore are riveted
three bars on the surface Of tho mold. The
steel is poured from the bottom of the ladlo
into the middle of tho iron tube. All tho
splashes are thrown on the walls Of tho
tube, which gradually melts away during
tho rise of the surface Of the liquid steel in
tho mold. 1t is by such little devices a.
this that great deal Of time, trouble and
work are saved. New York Ledger.

Made to Order Cities.

The history Of Middlesboro Ky, proves
that cities grow; they arc not made tc
order strictly. The site was selected be-.
cause of the beauty of the spot and the
scenery around. 1t was located by money,
no thought being given to the natural
causes that decide locations and determine
growth. The ground was secured and u
city ordained by its projectors. Lots on
the main street were marked down, and
some sold at $500 front foot. A street
railway was laid and operated for awhile.
Iron, steel and other works that cost mil.
lions were built. A hotel was erected for
$3.50, 900. In all $50, 900, 900 was laid out
by the stockholders in the vain design Of
building city And now tho factory
works are idle and rusting Rats alone
run tho big hotol. The 500 foot lots are
fronted by grass grown streets. The weeds
run riot over the street railway, and Icha.
bod is inscribed upon Middlesboro. Cities
are not made altogether, though hu.
man agencies and energies go long way
in shaping their destinies and increasing
the prosperity of the dwellers therein

WRIGHT WILL DIE.
Now No Hope For Executive
Clemency But the Condemn
ed Man Still Has Faith,

Edward Wright, the colored man, who
murdered his sweetheart Ida Crummeli'
at Water and Market streets, and which
crime cast the grim shadow OF the gallows
upon him, has now but little over three
days to live, for on January |, between the
hours of 10 In the morning and 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, the law has said he must
die.
While there is no one who believes Gov
ernor Watson will respite the prisoner and
make life Imprisonment the punishment
for the terrible crime, Wright is yet conf =
dent, But he is hoping against hope and
even when the sound Of falling hammers
and moving saws is heard preparing his
death trap Tomorrow, it is altogether
probable that his hope will not be given
up.
Such strong confidence in executive
clemency is what has kept Wright SO

there is no clemenoy fo. him there will be
