horse power or about ten times as
much as the best engines develop at
present with half-inch feed, will, ac-
cording TO the claims of the inventor,
be extracted from the same quantity of
steam by motor which will be in
spected by Admiral Melville, chief of
the Bureau OF Steam Engineering,
United States Navy, some time this
month.
The motor is twenty.four inches high
and occupies space about thirty
inches square on the floor. 1t is prac-
tically noiseless and has no packing in
any Of the parts. With slight varia-
tions, it is modelled after small one,
which has been successfully operated
by both steam and liquifed air.

A 100000 PLANT.

The paper mill now building al
Floriston promises TO be one Of the
greatest manufactures on the Pacific
Coast. The cost of construction is
estimated at 100000. Machinery
alone will be procured at an expense
Of $125, 900. Three hundred men and
women will be employed at the fac
tory, perhaps more.
The whole OF the Truckee river will
be used as power; a dam is to be
built and the river is to be conducted
to the power wheels through an i'm
mense flume. The water of Joe Grey
creek will also be used as power when
the Truckee is low.
MIR. Holly, the general manager,
has been inspecting timber lands west
OF Mt. Rose, with view of purchasing
tract Of about 10000 acres. The
land lies between Roberts creek and
Joe Grey creek and belongs to several
different parties.
1t is roughly estimated that the mill
will handle about 80 cords of wood per
day. The factory will turn out all
kinds OF finished paper in addition to
paper pulp.

AFTER THIKTY.sEvEN YEARS

In 1862, j. w. Perry and wife left
Nebraska for California across the
plains. In August 1868, they arrived
at what is now known as Simpson q
Park, about three miles from Austin,
where Mrs. Perry died of consumption.
Her husband buried the remains in a
rough box near the road, and pro-
ceeded with his companions to Califor.
MIA, first living in Stockton for five
years and then removing to Santa
Cruz, where he has resided thirty-one
years. The Reveille says, on Sunday
last Mr.. Perry arrived in Austin and
went to the grave Of 81 years ago, dis
inferred the remains and brought them
to town, and on the following day left
with them for his home near Santa
Cruz where he will place them in
their last resting place. The bones
were all perfect and in place; a con-
siderable portion OF the hair was we'll
preserved, and a cloth which was
placed under the body was apparently
as strong as when placed there more
than third OF a century ago.

health is still more necessary. A

are thousand railroads. One of the
reasons why America is 80 progressive
is the fact that in every drug store is

troll of Boston nd Maine.

Boston, Oct. 2o.-President Lucius
Tuttle of the Bosten and Maine rail-
road to-day said that the statement that
his road was included in the oonsolda-
tion of the Wagner and Pullman Palace
Car companies was untrue. When they
talk Of the Pullman holdings of Boston
and Maine stock being handed over to
the Vanderbilts, and the Vanderbilts
thereby coming into control of the Bos-
ton and Maine, they are talking of
myth. The Pullman company does not
to-day own one share of Boston and
Maine stock, and, furthermore, has not
for year past. The Pullman holdings
of the Boston and Maine stock at the
time of Mr.. Pullman's death We're about
5000 shares That block has since been
broken up and sold, leaving to-day not
q share in the company's hands. Mr..
Tuttle added that whatever the out
come of the affair, it could not have
any effect upon the Boston and Maine
road.

AWFUL CRIME QUICKLY PUNISHED
Negro Burned whole Family and Was
Then Burned Himself

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 20.-A special
to the Scimtar from Canton, Miss,
says: The little town of st. Anne, twen
ty miles east of Canton, in Lake county,
was last night the scene of a horrible
tragedy, consequent to the burning of
the Gambrel family the night before.
Joe Lefiore, negro who was captured
by posse, confessed that he, in COM
pany with other negroes, had tied Mrs.
Gambrel and her four children to the
floor of the house, saturated their
clothes with kerosene and burned the
unfortunate people alive. The unfortu-
nate negro, after the confession of the
crime, was promptly roped to stake
and burned to crisp while the citizens
looked on in grim silence. Another ne
gro, Bob Smith, was saved just in the
nick of time, as some doubt existed as to
his guilt.
Lefiore was captured Thursday morn
ing and at first vigorously denied any
knowledge of the crime, but he finally
broke down completely and confessed
that he and Bob and Andrew Smith,
two other negroes, We're guilty. He
hoped for no mercy and told with a
brutal frankness all the details of the
crime, In the yard where the Gambrel
residence had stood Leflore was tied to
a stake and burned alive No one sent
merciful bullet into his body to kill
him.
Andrew Smith escaped from the mob
while Lefore was being burned and has
not yet been captured. Bob Smith was
tied to another stake and fire started
He was finally released, as there was a
possibility of his proving his innocence
Andrew Smith will be recaptured and
If it is proved that he and his brother
Bob are guilty it is thought that no
power can save them from death at the
stake.

DISASTROUS.
About $3.50 last evening a small fire
occurred at No. 143 Portsea street in a
house occupied by Mrs Martha Lam

that his trousers We're on fire. He ex-

the flames before much damage was
done. The damage will not exceed $25.
About an hour after this alarm an
other alarm was rung from box 213, at
No. 2's engine house on Artizan street.
The fire was in the brick shop building
at the corner of Artizan and Court
streets, opposite the shop of the Hogg-

some rubbish in the rear of the shoe re-
pair shop of j. Long in the basement
of the building. The fire was burning
fiercely when the firernen arrived, but
they quickly subdued the flames after
getting a line of hose at work. The
building is an old one and adjoining it
closely are number of old buildings,
all used for shop purposes. Had the

that disastrous conflagration would
have resulted. The building is only a
