party had more than cutlasses, as
claimed. To the entire country it was
a surprise that a body of armed men
seeking glory" should pass by the
headquarters of the patriots on Navy
Island and attack an unarmed vessel
on the New York State shore.
The Grand Jury in session at Lock-
port was quick to give attention to the
crime, and ON January 3, 1888, five days
after the destruction of the Caroline,
they indicted McNab and his compan
ions for murder. Among the indicted
ones We're mentioned Sir Allan Napier
McNab, John Mosier, George Chambers,
Edward Zealand, Shepard Mccormack,
Angus Mcleod, Ed Usher, Gerad F.
Jarvis. John B. Warren, Roland Nc
Donald, Peter Rigley, Captain Arnold,

BURNING OF The CAROLINE.
ATTACK OF BRITISH SOLDIERS
ON UNARMED MEN.
The Brutal Deed Of British Officers
Who Called Themselves
Heroes.

No doubt some of the old residents
of Rochester have recalled that it was
just sixty years ago last Wednesday,
December Goth, that the steamer Caro-
line was set on fire at Schlosser dock,
on the upper Niagara River, and sent
ablaze over the Horseshoe Falls. There
is now the best of feeling existing be-
tween the people of the Dominion and
those of the United States, but six de-
cades ago the incident referred to above
created intense excitement throughout
both countries, and especially through
out Western New York.
The locality was not as thickly pop
ulated as it is to-day, but the hearts of
the people were just as loyal, and their
passions were intensified by what has
always been termed the Caroline out
rage. Great changes have passed over
this section of the country since then.
and to-day Schlosser dock is in the GEN.
ter of the new and great industrial de-
velopment about the falls. Sixty years
ago it was prominent as the head Of the
portage around the falls, and an old
tavern that stood there kept company
with a warehouse. 1t was there shat
people travelling up or down the lakes
stopped over night to rest from the
fatigues of the days journey, and Of
tentimes the number of guests was
quite large. OF late years an effort ma s
been made to eradicate the old-time
name by giving the title of Echota to
the Niagara suburb, but, despite this,
for all time the name of Schlosser Will
stand in history. On the Canadian side
the changes have not been SO marked.
and the then ancient village of Chip
pewa is still more so to-day.
Sixty years ago the province of Up
per Canada was upset by internal
strife. The patriots had their head
quarters on Navy Island, in Canadian
waters. just above the falls, Sir Fran
els Bond Head was Governor, and in
response to his call for troops about
5000 men had gathered near Chippewa
Creek, on the upper Niagara. This was
the situation when the steamer Caro-
line appeared on the river to run be-
tween Buffalo and the falls, and also
to Navy Island. Her career on the up
per Niagara was destined to be brief,
for she had made but two trips when
she was destroyed. As darkness was
falling on December 20, 1887. she
moored at Schlosser dock for the night.
The tavern on the shore, kept by man
named Fields, was crowded as usual,
and that night over a score of persons
found q sleeping place on the Caroline.
The New York State side of the rive.
was in a state of peace, and there was
no thought Of danger. However, the
trips made by the Caroline to Navy
Island had not escaped the eyes of the
English soldiers near Chippewa Creek,
and :. was determined that this
source of assistance should be cut off.
Colonel McNab was in charge of the
British forces. and he resolved to send
a party of his men to destroy the vessel
that was alleged to be carrying supplies
to the patriots. He realized that to
make the trip across the river in the
midst of the floating ice was extreme
Iy hazardous, and for this reason, in

Germany Making Needles.

The export trade of the sewing ma
chine needles forms a very important
part OF commerce in Germany. Former
ly England supplied that country with
needles. This industry according to
the United States Consul at Annaberg.
has during the past few years developed
10 such an evtent that the Germans are
able to meet their English competitors
not only in the markets of the world.
but in the British colonies and in Eng
land as well. The principal seats of the
industry are Aix-la Chapelle, Burts-
cheid, 1serlohn. Altoona, Nuremberg,
and Schwalbach. The factories of Ak
la -Chapelle alone produce 50,000,000
needles weekly. The following figures
show TO what extent the exports from
Germany of these needles have develop
ed: During the eight years form 1880
to 1897 the German export of needles of
all kinds-embroidery, knitting, darn
ing, sewing and sewing machine needles
amounted to 100000 pounds. val
ued at $40. 500, 900. The followin eight
years make a still better showing. Dur
ing this period the quantity exported
was $1,000 900 pounds. valued at Sf5.-
O000U. The enormous growth in the
cipally to the export trade to China,
where Germany Seems to entirely con-
troll the market. Other countries inn
porting German sewing needles are Brit
ish East Indies. France, the United
states, Austria Hungary, Italy and Tur-
key. In conclusion the American Con-
sui says:
Under the protection of their Govern
ment the Germans have built up a needle
industry which commands the respect of
the world. AT first they initiated the
English methods of manufacture, but
their superior technical training soon
enabled them to discover the defects of
the English machinery. and they adopt
ed new and improved devices and fol-
lowed their own course of manufacture
The infant industry of a few years ago
has become one of national importance.

Among the smooth black fabrics OF
the winter are some beautiful varieties,
seemingly all alike, but quite opposite
in effect when one notes the difference
in weave and finish. Many patterns
are too effective in themselves to trim
with gimp or braiding, but there are
very few gowns indeed that are made
I'D plainly this season. Venetian and
fine French broadcloths, very elabo-
rately trimmed with fur and soutache
braiding, have been made by the very
best French houses as parts of trouS-
seaux for going away gowns and for
calling and church wear subsequently.
Triple circular basques, braided all
over, are added to a very handsome
cloth gown made by Pasquier, while on
another there is merely trefoil design
of the braid on a single basque. Thu
yoke or guimps and epaulettes are
heavily braided, as are also the faring
wrist cuffs and tiny sleeve puffs. The
gored Skin. has a narrow braiding de-
sign down each seam.
Elegant little dress bonnets from a
noted Paris house are made of pansy
velvet trimmed with violets and pan
sizes of every tint, from the highest 10
the darkest. and black velvet bonnets
in capote shape, trimmed alone with
shaded velvet leaves in regal autumn
colorings. The effect of the multi-coI-
ored foliage against the black velvet IS
exceedingly rich.
