shot by colored soldiers:
In the neighborhood of thirty ne.
groes entered Klucny's saloon. They
had not been in there over five min

trouble was brewing. Several rail-
road boys were in the saloon when
the crowd of soldiers entered. AS

were evidintly looking for trouble
they left the building. A lew of the
negroes drank the liquors called for
and paid for them. Rough talking
and drinking continued and the ex.
element intensified until one burly
negro climbed over the bar with his
dagger bayonet and made for Mr..
,Klucny, who had been attending to
the wants Of the soldiers. During
the mix.up other soldiers stole all the
bottled goods they could lay their
hands on. One fellow took half

The trade in sheep is rather quiet

The tone in the cattle trade is i'm
proving and more activity is being
shown by the slaughterers. The lat
ter part of last week prices ON the
light and medium dressed beef steers
advanced 10 to 15c and the good
heavy cattle ruled strong. This week
prices have gained still further until
now the light and medium grades OF
steers are 10 to 25c higher than they
were ten days ago. Dry fed COWS
and heifers are ruling a shade higher
and the grass kinds are ruling steady,
although the prices obtained are un-
satisfactory as shippers do not dis
criminate enough in buying in the

A BIG GRANITE COLUMN.

a big piece of granite has been cut from
the Palmer quarry, five miles from Vinal-

in length and is eight feet six inches thick,
by seven feet in width, the total weight be-
ing $40 tons When turned into cylindrical
form 1t will be tifty-four feet in length by
six feet three inches in diameter. and viii
be the first of eight columns which are
destined to support the great dome of the
in New York. Two of the eight columns
are to be of this size, the other six are TO
be of the same diameter and tifty-two feet
The process of quarrying such an enor-
nous shaft is a long and laborious one. The
work Of removing the stone before suita-
BILE bed Is found is in itself no small amount
OF labor. When this is done the task of
drilling the channel holes begins. These
are at very short intervals along the inside
line of the shaft, and the massive stone in
due season is all ready to be pried on to
the rollers and taken to the lathe.
The company has an enormous lathe. ca
pable OF turning out shafts twenty-five or
even thirty feet in length. but here is a
shaft which is double thirty feet and has
four feet more to spare.
In this emergency mechanical skill was
again called into play, and there is now be-
ing built for this special work a lathe cost
ing $4,000 or $4,000, the plans for which
alone cost over $500.
The terms of the agreement read that the
columns shall be delivered on the dock in
as a means of transportation, and 1T is
evident to the company that in order to get
the work done with any degree of safety
1t will have to build a barge or charter
some large craft.
The largest stone ever quarried at Vinal-
haven before was the monoith for the Gen
eral Worth monument which was after
ward erected IN New York. This shaft
weighed l75 tons when quarried but was
found to contain slight defect and the
were obliged to furnish another.
This monolith came from the famous Sands
Quarry, whence was gotten stone for the
Washington postottice building and other
notable structures.
