improvements at the Scale Works.

By invitation of General Manager
Turner party Of citizens visited the
scale works yesterday afternoon and
witnessed the great improvements at the
foundry, inspected the new pattern shop
and were also much interested in the
new machines in the machine shop
and the big engine. At the foundry a
room has been built especially formaking
the cores and another room adjoining
this for keeping the extra clothes oil the
workmen while they are at work. In
the big foundry room trolley track has
been ,rected whereby all the molten iron
is carried in big pots, holding 1900
pounds, TO every part of the room.
This system obviates the necessity OF
having the iron carried by hand as has
been done there before and saves the
workmen lots OF hard work. Before this
trolley track was put in each one OF the
men had to carry 60 pounds OF molten
metal to his casting boxes and keep this
process up until all his boxes were filled.
Now the man waits until the car arrives
and takes the metal IRON that and pours
it into his casts. The process savesmuch
labor as well as being great economizer
of time.
After the gentlemen had congratulated
Col. Walker on these improvements they
inspected the new pattern shop, which is
a perfectly hre-proof structure of three
stories with numerous automatic ar
rangements to prevent the spreading OF
fire in case one should ever get started in
this building. Here are kept all the pat
terms used in the shops and they are be-
ing indexed by the card system so that
any pattern can be found at a moments
notice. Over 10000 patterns have al
ready been indexed aud there are many
more to be catalogued. The pattern
shop is a model of its kind and well
worth a visit The party spent nearly
two hours in the shops and were greatly
interested in the many things they saw
there which contribute to the manutac.
ture of Fairbanks scale.

Caustic Remarks at a Wedding.


The MANY friends OF Rev. F. D.. Buckley
of Waterbury, Conn, will be interested
in the following incident which recently
occurred in his church which was
reported in the papers under date of Oct.
IS:
A sensation was caused at the conclu-
sion of fashionable wedding at Trinity
Protestant Episcopal church, Water
bury, Ct., early last evening by the caus-
tic remarks which Rev. Frederick d.
Buckley, the rector, applied to the spec
tators. The church was crowded, and
as the bridal couple passed out to enter
their carriage, the people arose in body
and started out to catch glimpse OF the
bride and bridegroom. Advancing to
the altar, Rector Buckley i'll severe tones
commanded the audience to remain
seated until the bridal couple had de-
parted. "Thsis not public exhibition
the rector continued. 1T is a divine
ceremony. Heretofore it has been the
custom at wedding ceremonies at this
church for the people to crowd arouno
the bridal pair, so that it has been almost
impossible for them to reach their car
riage, but it shall not occur again during
this rectorship." At the conclusion o
his remarks the people sank back into the
seats as if halfstunned.
Commenting on this incident th'
Springfield Republican says:
"The Waterbury clergyman who re
buked an assemblage at church
wedding, for gazing too much at th'
bridal pair did a wholesome piece o
work. While he said that the wedding
in question was not public exhibition,
the truth is that such ceremonials hav
come to partake very much of the spec
tacular character. They need reforming
and Rev. Mr.. Buckley has courageousl,
led the way"

Furnishing Election Returns.-An,

ticipating that there would be unusual
interestin election returns, the Board Of
Trade have engaged Music Hall for the
evening of November 3, and the returns
will be announced there free ofcharge.
Besides the complete service of the West
ern Union and the Associated Press, the
New England Telephone company will
furnish, free of charge, the returns from
all over the country, collected by their
well.equipped long distance system. With
all these sources to rely on, the citizens
of St.. Johnsbury will know as quickly
who is elected as il they were in Boston
or New York. The first plan was to
have the returns announced in the Board
of Trade rooms, but so many expressed
desire of attending that it was thought
better to engage Music Hall for the occa-
sion. Both the telegraph and the tele-
phone will be placed in the hall and the
election returns announced as fast as
they are received.

McKinley's Deeds Are SO Written in
His Life Book Says Mr. Blake.

Canton, O., Aug. PA thousand
workmen from the potteries of East
Liverpool o., Travelled seventy miles
this morning to call on Mckinley at
his home. This glazed ware industry
has been established in America since
Major Mckinley was sent to congress
from this district twenty years ago.
Chairman w. L. Smith, Col. ]. N. Tay-
Ior and w. B. Blake headed the dele
CATION The latter is a pottery bench
worker and an eloquent talker.
The visitors on the way to Canton
and later on their march to McKinley's
residence attracted recruits until three
thousand enthusiastic cheering people
gathered about the Mckinley home.
Mr. Blake in part said:
1.-The potters want to see prosperous
times again and to this end they will
vote for sound money, a protective pol
icy, and Vim. Mckinley. Your past
record in congress. your ardent devO-
ton for the cause of protection, your
love for everything American, your
principles which have never been vacil-
litating nor ambiguous, your life itself,
which has been an open book in which
is written in letters of gold the faith
full performance of every duty, have
all endeared you to the hearts of peo-
pie of this great nation and especially

tails which you may wish to know
about it. At least Professor Kimba1l
and those connected with the Kimball
Mine Indicating company claim that
the machine will do this.
1t has not yet been stated definitely
how the principles of electro magnetic
force are so practically applied, but in
a general way we are told that the ap-
paratus is most delicate one and is the
result of long years of study and expert
ment 1t is also asserted that all miner
ais and subterranean deposits of oil and
water as well can be accurately located.
The promoters of the company claim
that the apparatus has been successfully
submitted to all sorts of tests by prac-
ticaI mining engineers and mineral
ogists.
OF course, if all these statements are
true, Professor Kimbau has made a
most remarkable and valuable inven-
ton which is bound to revolutionize the
mining business and change it from an
uncertain speculation to an exact and
scientific industry. It will Danish the
picturesque prospector from the gold
fields and prove a permanent cure for
gold fever. There will be no feverish
unrest when the exact conditions Of
pay streak are known. Wildcat stocks
cannot be hoated, and speculation in
mining stocks will be altogether done
away with =

An Exploring Party Finds a Ton of
Specimens.

Sioux City, Aug. 24-The geological
exploring party fom the South Dakota
State university, which left VermiIlion,
s. D., early in the summer for a tour
of the bad Lands" has returned with
a collection of specimens weighing near
~ a ton.
Characteristic specimens of about
twenty extinct specimens of vertebrates
We're found, together with nearly twice
that number of individuals. The most
valuable was the complete skull of a
titanotherium, kind of gigantic hog
with horns Many forms not yet de
termined are included in the collection.
One of the problems which Prof.
Todd, chief of the expedition, proposes
to solve at his leisure, concerns the ag-
ricultural benefit of mixing the gumbo
soil of the cretaceous and the sits and
marls of the tertiary.

CHICAGO MAIL WRECKED.
Fifteen or Twenty Persons Injured in
a Pittsburg & Western Collision.

Pittsburg. Aug. 24.-The Chicago
mail, No. IA on the Pittsburg & West
ern railway, which is due at Allegheny
at 1926 p. m, was wrecked at Valen-
cia station, twenty-five miles from this
city about noon. First reports were to
the effect that fifteen persons were
killed, but this was not true. The last
information is that no one was killed
outright, but that fifteen or twenty
persons were badly injured. Train No.
Il is composed of sleeping and mail
cars.
At Valencia it coIlided with a work
train. The wreck was a double one.
The work train first ran into freight
train and the grade being heavy sew
eraI cars of the work train ran back,
colliding with the passenger train.
The collision threw the cars over a
steep enbankment and a number of the
passengers were caught in the wreck
and seriously hurt. Among the num-
Der was Mrs. Howe of Evans City, who
will die.
