 The problem of extracting flour and float gold by an economical method of snalgsmation, has at last been solved. Three of the P. D.

R. .k. h. ing the nearest railroad station. This machine was patented January l, lS9o. and has not been plac on the market for sale because the inventor preferred first to put 1t ID operatioI on as difficult work ss could be found. Several tests wore made by hand last winter And spring near the present location of the works, and proved entirely satisfactory. The plant now in operasi D coDsists or three machines, revolving screen, steam engine, etc., with 8 capacity for working about seventy five tops per Oay of tTen- ty-four hours. As the coarse gravel IS taken out before the maternal goes into the revolving screen of 20 mesh fineness, the seventy-6ve tons would represent about one-hundred and fifty tons of the gravel as excsvated from the ground.

 Professo F. D. Barnhart, the inventor and psten tee of the smalgamstor, is in charge of the work, and intends to ex- tend the work of operations as rapidly es circumstances will warrant it.

FORTY-FOUR WE'RE KILLED
These Four Fateful Words Sum Up
the Story Of the Jersey Rail
Disaster.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR The ACCIDENT
The Dead Reading Engineer Disregard
ed the Danger Signal-Such is the
Tale Told by the Automatic
Arrangement

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 1.-The num-
ber of persons killed in the accident on
Thursday night was forty-four. Forty
bodies have been identified; four are I'M
identified.
The body Of Thos. Kelley, of Elmer, N.
j., was identified to-day.
Several of the injured are still in a
critical condition.
Mrs. Faunce Fralinger,of Philadelphia,
whose right leg was mputated yesterday,
is very low and there is no hope of her
recovery.
There is much perplexity here over a
dispatch from Melleville to the effect that
5. P. Murphy, who has been numbered
among the dead from the time of the
accident, is alive and we'll. The body
supposed to be his was identified as such
by fifteen people.
The impression prevails that the re.
sponslbility for the accident rests upon
the 1ead engineer, Edward Farr. There
is no dispute that the signal, $50 ahead"
was given to the West Jersey excursion
train, and, if SO, the danger signal must
necessarily have been given to the Read
ing train by the automatio arrangement.
The theory is that Farr did not slow
up and could not stop in time when he
saw the West Jersey train approaching.
1t is said that he had been laid off two
weeks, not long ago, for not making
good time and it is supposed that he was
trying to make up for this by running at
high speed.
The coroner's inquest will begin on
Monday. Fireman Ohoulihan, of the
Reading train, who saved his life by
jumping, will probably be the principal
witness.

RIOTING AT CLEVELAND.
Brown Hosting Company Fails to
Keep Faith with Its Employees and
More BlOOdshed Results.

Cleveland, Aug. 1.--Another riot ooour-
red at the Brown hoisting works at noon
to-day. One man was fatally shot. The
strike there was declared in force again
to-day. All the union men employed at
the Brown hoisting and conveying works
again struck this morning and boycott
against the company was declared. II
is claimed that the Brown COMPANY failed
to keep its agreement and reinstate
strikers and that number of new hands
have been employed since the strike was
declared of.
At noon to-day, while the union men
we're being escorted from the works by
the police, treWendous crowd gathered,
hooted and threw stones. The police re-
peatedly charged the crowd and made
numerous arrests, but were unable TO
disperse the mob.
John Ptince, union man, en- ployed in
the Forest City foundry, was shot by an
unknown non.unionists and will probably
die.

To Wheelmen Everywhere:
Gentlemen-The Coconino Cycling
club, of Flagstaff, Arizona, will conduct
its annual run from Flagstaff to the
Grand canon of the Colorado river on
August ~, 20, 81 and az, 1896, making the
start at 6 a. M, August 10. Two days
will be spent at the canon and the return
trip made on the 22d.
The distance to the Canon hotel is
about seventy miles, and can be made in
eight or ten hours. The route is via the
Grand Canon stage road, which circles
the base of the San Francisco mountains
and passes through the great piue forests
of northern Arizona.
Owing to the elevation, Flagstaff being
1000 feet above the sea, the temperature
even in summer is low, while the scenery
is unsurpassed anywhere on earth.
The Coconino club has made arrange
ments to furnish all the necessaries, such
as board, lodging, etc, at the remarkably
low rate of $40 for each wheelman. The
Atlantic & Pacific railroad will place the
lowest possible rate in effect, and every
thing points not only to pleasant trip
but to triumph of bicycle enthusiasts.
Be pioneer and join this run, and the
Impressions gained from a view Of the
Grand canon will remain until you ride
your weeel up the golden stairs.
You are invited to correspond with Mr..
8. T. Elliot, secretary, Coconino Cycling
club, Flagstaff, Arizona, about other de-
tails of the run, and with the nearest
agent of the Atlantic Il Pacific railroad
regarding rates, etc.

POPULIST PEEK'S ANGUISH
Ridiculous Representation That DEM
Ocrats Agreed to Withdraw Sewall
in Favor of Watson.
WHERE BRYAN'S VOICE WILL BE- HEARD
Silver Champion Will Speak in Nearly
Every State in the Union-Wall
Street Democratic Leaders"
Will Hold a Convention.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1.-W. L. Peek, who
ran for governor on the Populist ticket
in 1892 and headed the Georgia delegation
at st. Louis, made the follwing state
ment to the Atlanta journal to-day:
"Conyers, Ga, Aug. l, 1896.-"It was
understood with the Democrats that, if
the Populists would nominate Bryan for
vice president, Sewall would retire from
the race, or in other words he (SewalD
would be taken down and our candidate
for vice president would be placed on the
ticket with Bryan.
"With this understanding. Watson was
unanimously nominated. Every state in
the Union supported him except South
Carolina and it was not represented. This
was the broad ground on which Demo-
Gratis aud Popuists met Having been
deceived by promises, we made it GER
| tainty on our part and reversed the order
of business and nominated the vice. presi-
dent first.
"Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, was there,
together with many prominent Demo-
Gratis from different parts of the United
States, urging this course for the success
of financial reform. We did not indorse
Bryan. but made our platform and nomi-
mated him for president by over a two
thirds vote.
>"Watson's nomination was greeted with
as long and loud outbursts of enthusiasm
as was Bryan's, and 1 beg leave to say
now that there is but one course to pur-
sue, if good faith is to govern this union
of the silver forces, viz: Watson electors
must be put up by the Democratic party
from Maine to California. 1t would be a
lack of fidelity to ask or do otherwise. In
the south, yes, in Georgia, it would be an
objectionable sin and unfaithfulness on
the part of the Democratic party, and the
people will hold them responsible for the
result.
