In no way has mans ingenuity been
more signally shown than in the va
riety of uses he has succeeded in find
ing for cotton and wool. In the null
dtudinous uses to which they are now
adapted, we are liable TO forget the
many successful concerns and individ-
uals who are engaged in the manu-
facture Of the machinery and different
specialties Of their production. Like
all other articles OF universal use for
which there is extensive demand, the
manufacture Of cotton and wooden
goods has been divided into specialties,
this being done in order to facilitate
manufacturing, each concern doing
some work entirely distinct in its char
acter. 1t has therefore become the
habit Of concerns manufacturing ma
chinery or developing IDEAS to also de-
vote themselves exclusively to one line.
A gentleman in this city who has made
8 record OF continuous success in pro-
ducing new and wonderful improve
ments in ring spinning appliances
which are in universal use, is ". T.

applied these wood bearings to spin
dies on spinning frames. He is now
working on several lines regarding
spinning machinery, always endeavor-

One Soldier Killed Outright and Many
Others Injured.
A passenger train on the Chattanoo-
ga, Rome and Southern railroad, which
left Chattanooga at $40 o'clock Satur-
day morning, ran into the third sec
ton Of the military train conveying
the First Missouri volunteers to
Chickamauga, near Rossyille, Ga,
killing Private George NJ. Walker,
company d, and painfully injuring
A. Maynard Lane, company M; How
ard Brolsski, company d, and slightly
injurIng several other occupants Of
the trains.
The conductor Of the military train
sent back a hagman to warn the pas
senger train, but the hagman did not
go far enough, and the passenger
train came around the curve at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. The
engineer did not see the danger signal
until within a short distance of the
military train. The engineer reversed
his engine and put on brakes, but he
did not have time to stop his train,
which crashed into the rear of the mil
itary train.
The rear car was palace horse car,
in which Walker was riding, and was
completely demolished. Three of the
horses were also killed.
Engineer Wheeler and Fireman
Handy, Of the passenger train, were
arrested by Lieutenant Colonel Cav
ender and taken under guard to the
park. They were afterwards turned
over to the civil authorities. A judi
cial investigation was at once ordered.

these guns, which carry fYe-inch shells
weighing 100 pounds each a distance
of six miles will be used by the land
forces in Smelling Havana. These are
the most powerful guns ever used for
such purposes. It will require an en-

BISHOPS ARE CONSECRATED.

Drs. Gambler and Morrison Ordained BY
the Conference.
The principal feature of Thursdays
session of the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church south,
at Baltimore, was the ordination Of
Bishops Gambler and Morrison, who
were elected on Tuesday. The cere-
mony, which was a most impressive
one, was presided over the Rev. DIR.
Keener, who resigned his bishopric
and was placed on the superannuated
list at his own request on the first day
of the session.
Bishop Key red the epistle; Bishop
Fitzgerald read an extract from the
gospel of st. John, and Bishop Will
son delivered a sermon, after which
the newly-elected bishops were pre-
sented for ordination. Former Bishop
Keener then offered prayer, Bishop
Duncan delivered an address and
Bishop Galloway offered prayer.
Bishop Cranberry addressed and
catechized the bishops, after which
came the solemn act of conservation,
consisting of laying on of hands by
all the bishops Of the church. Each
of the candidates was then presented
with Bible by Bishop Hendrix, who
at the same time exhorted them. This
was followed by the benediction pro-
nounced by the venerable DIR. Keener,
and the ceremony was ended.
A resolution introduced in confer
ence by Mr.. J. P. Stother, of Califor-
MIA, and L. S. Woods, of Tennessee,
was adopted. The resolution recog-
nizes the late Mr.. Gladston's wonder
full genius and the many sided devel-
opments of his thought and energies
in behalf Of every phase Of civilization.
The resolution calls him great En-
glishman, a friend of humanity every
where; the friend of America and of
God. Sympathy is rendered to Eng
land.

Of disposession until such time as the
United States itself has arranged for
the disposition of the islands
The Monterey is probably the most
formidable monitor In the world, yet
she combines with the enormous often
siye and defensive qualities Of the
monitor type a seaworthiness that is
almost phenomenal. The Monterey is
described technically as a barbette

long by 80 feet beam and IA feet 6
inches draft She carries in two tur-
rets surrounded by barbettes two 70

her superstructure between the turrets
are mounted six 6-pounders, four

The Monterey's personnel is nine
teen officers and 172 men and once she
is safely in the entrance of Manila

would be likely TO bulge her from her

The influence Of various occupa-
lions upon health and longevity is the
subject Of an interesting investigation
just completed by an officer of the
registrar-generars department of the
British Government. A vast collec-
tion of figures, comparative tables,
etc, has just been issued as a public
document, and some of the deductions
from them are instructive and of in
terest First and foremost comes
overwhelming proof that work or oc-
cupation of some sort is the greatest
promoter Of longevity. Il is almost
alone in England of all civilized coun-
tries that this fact can be brought out
clearly in public statistics, for it is
only in England that the leisure class,
so called, is sufficiently large for the
comparison to be made.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Patents, recently laid before
Congress, shows that not less than o.
l729 patents were granted to American
anventors during the past year. In
proportion to population, Connecticut
heads the list of States contributing
to swell the number of patents granted
to successful applicants. In Connec-
Gicut one patentsswas granted to every
ES6 inhabitants. Next in order ranks
Massachusetts,, the District of Column
bia, New Jersey and New York.
There is no country on the globe
which surpasses the United States in
Che genius of invention. This is man
HEST from the countless devices on
fle in the patent Office in Washing
ton. Most Of the patents issued dur
ing the past year by the United States
Movement were awarded TO electri-
clans. This is due to the fact that the
study Of electricity has, for the time
being, overshadowed other investiga-
Eions; and in all probability what is
true Of the patents issued during the
past year will be true Of the patents
ISSUED for some time to come. When
american ingenuity is exhausted
shere will be no more patents issued
either on this or the other side of the
water, and what the future holds in
store for us in the way Of patents can

r'An officer who permits himself to
be insulted by a civilian without inn
mediately killing him will be dis
missed, " is the unwritten law of the
German Army. If the ''insulter" be-
longs to the class of those who fight
duels he must be challenged; if not,
he must be finished off at once. A
case in point occurred at Augsburg
recently, relates the New York Sun.
An officer in private clothes was struck
by a clerk. The soldier, who had
revolver in his pocket, did not use it,
but took action against the other in
law court. His assailant was con-
dcmned to twelve days Imprisonment.
But the matter did not rest there, for
the Regimental Officers Court of
Honor assembled and compelled the
officer to resign because he had not
adequately upheld the dignity of his
rank. In other words he had not COM
nitted murder.

WASHINGTON Not Informed.

Washington authorities are not off,
cially advised of the bombardment Of
Santiago de Cuba, reported in Span
ish advices, but the report is credited,
as it virtually admits a defeat. II is
not customary for the Spaniards to
publish fake stories to this effect. No
eredence, on the other hand, is placed
in any Spanish story claiming a Span
ish victory, as all the stories of this
character springing from Spanish
sources since the war began have
proven untrue and circulated for the
express purpose of misleading or con-
fusing American officials.
1t is judged from the Spanish cable
concerning Santiago de Cuba that the
town has been terrifcally shelled and
probably largely reduced.
