him engaged i'm the work of re-clear-
ing the parade grounds. This has been
rendered necessary on account of the
drifting sands, which, being loosened
by the continual tramping of men and
horses. are swept away by the wind,
exposing the roots and thereby render

cult. The grounds are now in fine con-

The boys have at last received an in
PRODUCTION to a real southern winter,
and Saturday morning at reveille they
were surprised to see the grounds,
which on the previous evening were a
waste of sand, completely covered with
snow. The dampness and cold were
intense for time and fires were kept
constantly at a high temperature.
The sunshine of today, however, has
dissipated the remaining vestiges of
winter ana the wind has dried up the
grounds thoroughly. This was the first
snow storm encountered thus far i'm the
south, and was hailed with delight by
the boys to whom its presence brought
back many pleasant memories.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Capouse colliery worked two
days. eight hours each, last week.
The Delaware and Hudson collieries
hereabouts are working on One-half
and three-quarter time just at present.
Some of the works are idle, owing to
some minor changes being made in and
about the breakers. For instance, the
tracks running beneath the pockets"
of the Won StOrch breaker are being
changed to admit of the running in of
the big cars. This change was neces-
STATED by the abandonment of the
gravity system and almost all of the
breakers are now altered to conform.
Five days ie said to be the schedule
for this week at the Delaware, Lacka-
awanna and Western collieries. They
have already worked three days of
eight hours each. This seems to indi-
cate "A stiffening of the market and is
good prospect even at this time of
the year, when time is usually slack.
The workmen employed by the Dick
son Manufacturing company are happy

work to do from now on until early
