NON-COMBATANTS LEAVING.
Gravity of Situation 10 Clay County, Ky.
Cannot Be Overestimated.

LONDON, KY, July 24.-Tke gravity
of the situation at Manchester, KY,
and generally throughout Clay county
cannot be overestimated. It is felt
profoundly here, twenty-six miles
away. Many combatants have left
their homes, abandoning their crops,
and as many others as can will leave
soon- Even here in London the inse-
curity is felt to such an extent that
some families are leaving.
An outbreak is expected to-day, the
day set for the trial of the Philpots,
accused of killing Aaron Morris and
others. Both parties are mastering
armed forces for marching into Man
chester. The PhiIpots have ffty-two
armed horsemen, and no one knows
how many footmen. The Morris and
Griffin factions also have a large
force.

yada:
During the week the water has been
lowered as follows: Hale & Norcross
incline. feet inches; vertical. l 62-I00
Ieet; Chollar-Combination shaft, l foot
S inches.
Water line below measuring point is
VI feet; vertical, SO 31-100 feet; Choilar-
combination shaft, So feet inches.
The No. 1 elevator as rearranged has
been working steadily with but two
short stops since June &C. This elevator
is not as efficient as it was before be-
ing altered, the Risdon company having
decided to sacrifice efficiency for
strength.
We have introduced a very little
compressed air into the suction of this
elevator. the effect being to greatly di-
miniSh the noise in the discharge pipe
and to almost remove the jar in the
pipe system. The quantity of COM
pressed air used is so small that it has
no perceptible effect on the stream dis
charged.
A larger quantity of air cannot be
used in this manner, as 1t would give
motion to the columns that would soon
wreck them and destroy the elevator.
Compressed air, when made cheap
enough, could be profitably introduced
at some distance above the throat of
the elevator. The cost of the water
used by the pumping association, when
represented in horse power, is 81 per
month, or s4S per year per horse power.
