BOY KILLED by 4 TRAIN.
Accident Occurred During a BIInilng
KulnstOrm.

Columbia, S. c., July 4.-An eight
year-old boy was killed f0ur miles from
Columbia by ira IN on the Columbia,
Ncwbcrry and Laurcns road under
somewhat singular circumstances.
Engineer w. ID. Graham was in
charge OF the train. He was running
at about twenty-five miles an hour,
having stopped u half-mile back to take
water. He was coming around long
curve in binding rainstorm when he
saw ahead two men and two boys on
the track. He had the bell rung, but
the four who were coming toward the
train seemed to take no notice. lie
thought they would step from the
track every moment. Soon he saw
they would have q close call, having
come on a thrcc-f0ot trcstlc. Then he
reversed his engine and appl. ed the
air brakes. Three Of the parties
jumped, one being the father of the
dead boy, banned Frank Washington
William did not move as fast as the
others and the engine, which had all
but stopped, hit him in tho back
knocking him Off.
The boys father says the rain was
falling so hard at the time that none OF
them heard the train till it was almost
upon them.

We remembered this woman as

many things we had mover dreamed

they must go to tho stores and bog

homes. Tho load must necessarily
be largo ono, whom wo think that
they got about 30 cents dozen for

to visit the store often. Whom they
have finished tho work they must
lug it back. Then comes an inspec-

enough to pay them for tho Juggling
of the goods to and from their

LABOR-SAvlNG MACHINERY.
Harlan g. Hollingsworth Co. to Intro
duce Riveting Appliances. ..

t1aTldn q ttOIilngSWortn GO. TO intrO-
duce Rlveting Appliances.
--- a|h
Whereby About Nine-tenths of the Rivet-
ing a Vessel Can be Done-Both BY
draulic and Pneumatic Power May be
Used. AMI
The Harlan s Hollingsworth Co., has
decided to introduce labor saving rivet-
ing machinery into its shipy ard. This
decision, which is one Of great import
ance, has been reached as a result of
the recent strike among the ripeters on
the steamer Tallahassee. 1t means that
the company does not propose to brook
delay in the completion OF its con-
tracts
Not only has the company decided to
introduce this machinery but ii is even
now using machine for rivetipg By
hydraulic power. This machine was
put into use on Wednesday and gives
satisfaction. 1t was seen 10 operation
in the shipyard Thursday by a reporter
Of The Gazette. 1t was then being
used to rivet the ribs Of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Co. "a new
steamer Juniata. Tho riyeting appara-
tus is operated by water pressure. the
accumlator some distance away having
pressure Of 500 pounds to the square
inch. The motor runs underground to
the riveter to which it is connected by
what are called walking pipes. 'riveter
and pipes being suspended from large
Gantry crane, through which they are
operated at will. An official OF the
company stated that this machine,
which required the labor of four men.
was doing the work OF four or five
gangs of men. This means that the
four men and the machine do the work
of 10 or Is men undsr the hand method.
The official said that it did the work.
better than by hand.
But while the apparatus described
would be limited 10 the kind of work
which could be done by IL, the company
| is making all arrangements to introduce
such machinery that will do nearly all
| the rivetipg on vessel. Negotiations
| are now being made With manufact.
urers for the machines. Plans will be
made for the different apparatuses for
\ shipbuilding by machinery by both
hydraulic and psnumatic power and
both kinds Of machines will probably
be Installed. DraughtHmen are even
now at work on the plans to meet the
necessary requirements whereby nearly
all the riveting on vessel may be
done.
A representative Of a firm in the
business Of making such appliances
visited the Harlan & IIollingsworth Co.
Thursday and the conpany's Official
went over the matter carefully with
him. This company will fully equiI
itself with such machinery. With il
about nine tenths of the riveting on q
ship can he done, Whereby the work
can be done with about 1876 men less
than under the hand method.

Recent Developments in connection

City Railway Co. have set the Directors
OF the Street and Sewer Department to
thinking concerning the right of the

In 1868 tho Mayor and Council of
Wilmington leased TO the railroad com-

and extending to the Christisna river,
and also Bridge street between Third

leased to the city what is now con

street.. The leases were for 10 years
and in 1875 wers renewed for 10 years
longer, but as far as is known the
leases were not renewal in 1888. Ii
is now a question whether the leases
