Newport News, Va, Oct. 25. II.
Chalkley Hatton, the engineer of the
Delaware County Trust, Safe Deposit
and Title Insurance Co., which took
up the sewer contract where Hcman u
Sons dropped it, came down from Viii
mington, Del, and walked into the
Office of the city auditor and demanded
of that official that he turn over to him
for his company the sum OF S1G0, 29S. 67.
According to a sworn statement pre-
sented, the company. claims that the
city owes it s63, 500. 12 moro than the
consulting engineer figured the con-
tract calls for. According to Consult
ing Engineer Potter, who has figured
out estimates each month of amounts
due. the company, the total amount amour OF
work done to October lst, 1899, has
been worth under the contract
slO5, ,3S9. 81. OF this amount there has
been paid tho company or its pre-
decessors s6S, 445. OF. In addition, there
was some timo ago placed in the city
treasury to the credit of the company
the amount due it under the contract
-s21, 136. IL. About $4,000 Of this
amount, still in the hands of the
treasurer, has been earnisheed. There
has been retained under the contract
Is per cent Of the estimates, amount
ing to SIS, sos. G2. Adding these last
two items together, it is seen that the
total amount due the company under
the contract, including the 10 per cent
retained, is $36, 944.5 So, or just
1868, 800. 10 less than the company
claims under its statement. 1t is
quite possible that the muddle will
have 10 be settled in the courts.

Precautions Taken to Guard Against Every
Form of Accident.

Precautions Taken to Guard Against Every
Form of Accident.
Cassellis Magazine.
The danger buildings of a powder
mill are themselves so constructed that
not a nail-head or iron in any shape is
exposed, and the roofs are made slight,
so as to give easy vent to explosions.
The garments of the workers are pocket
less, &C that they cannot carry knives
or matches, or, indeed, anything, and
are made of nom -infiammable material.
Even the buttons must not be of metal.
No one is allowed to go about with
trousers turned up at the bottom, be-
cause grit is collected in that way, and
the merest hard speck of foreign matter
in charge of gunpowder is fraught
with danger.
The entrances to danger buildings
are protected by boards placed edge
ways, SO that when the door is open
nothing in the shape of dirt can work
in. This, also, serves as a check to any
one who might thoughtlessly proceed
to enter without having first removed
his boots and put on the overalls that
are kept Just inside the door. Doors
are made to open outward, so as to en-
able the men to escape the more
readily, and on the approach of thun-
derstorm the works are stopped, and
the operatives repair to the different
watchhouses scattered over the 300
acres covered by these extensive works.
Every week the machinery is in
snected, and the reports as to its cons
dition ale printed and filed. In the case
Of danger building needing to be res,
paired, it must first be washed out be-
| fore hammer or other iron tool is adj
mitted to it. When artificial light is
| required, as when working at night Or
in dull weather, the lights are kept out
side, being placed on the window
lodges. In the case of the works msga-
zine, which is surrounded with water,
no light of any kind is ever permitted
near it. These are only a few of this
precautions against accidents at the
works; they arc sufficient, however, to
show how lively must be tho sense of
danger. Mon in powderhouses usually
have an arranged plan of escape in
their minds, and at the least unex-
peeted noise have not hesitated to
plunge into the canal.

Kinley could not induce him to change
his politics when the president had a

a Democrat.

affirmative Mr.. Mckinley continued:

OF the stories and anecdotes con-
cerning this truly wonderful horse
there is mo end. Efforts have been
made to idisconcert him by mixing up
his alphabet and asking him to spell
words from which some of the neces-
sary letters have been removed from
his sight. The mixing UP Of the alpha
bet gives him small trouble, and when
after careful look, he discovers that
some necessary letter is missing, he
gives unmistakable notice that he has
discovered the trick played on him
Some ordinary words he spells upon
pronunciation, but If word or name
is new to him he will so attest, and
only endeavor to spell 1t after it has
been once spelled for him. His owner
insists that no name has ever beer
spelled to Jim which he could not re-
member and spell himself Immediately
afterwards, but Jim has never beer
