LincoIn's Reception of the Notihca-
ton Committee.

tincoln's Reception OF the Notfdca-
tiou Committee.
In the Biography of Charles Garlic
ton Coffin" is his own account of &C.
companying the committee to the home
of Mr.. Lincoln in Springfield, Ills, to
notify him of his nomination for presi-
dent. They reac,,sd Springfield early in
the evening, and after supper at the
hotel made their call on Lincoln. II
was not to be very formal interview.
Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed
in black frork coat. The announce
ment was made, and his reply seemed
brief He was evidently much con-
strained, but as soon as the last word
had been spoken he turned TO Mr.. Kel-
ley of Pennsylvania, the chairman of
the committee. and said: Judge, you
are a pretty tall man. How tall are
you:"
"Six fces two"
81 heat you! 1 am feet without
my high heeled boots.
Pennsylvania bows to Illinois, where,
we have been told, there were only lit
tie giants" said Kelley.
This was an allusion to Douglas, who
had been called the Little Giant"
One by one the members of the COM
mittee were introduced TO Lincoln, and
when the Handwriting was over he
said:
Gentlemen, Mrs. Lincoln will be
pleased to see you in the adjoining
room, where you will find some refresh
ments.
There Mrs. Lincoln met them pleas
antly, but the only visible sign of re-
freshments was a white earthen pitcher
filled with ice water This was possibly
Mr.. Lincoln's little joke, for it was
afterward ascertained that his Repub-
lican neighbors had offered to furnish
wines and liquors, which he refused to
have in his Louise, and that his Demo
cratic friends had sent round baskets Of
champagne. whioh were also declined.

CHIMNEYS KNOCKED OUT.
Machine Shops Can lie Run More
Economically Without Them.

Machine Shops Can lie Run More
Economically without Them.
a few years ago the building of a
machine shop without a chimney would
have been looked upon as the act of an
idiot. Now it may be the wisest thing
builder can do, for the large fan
which is taking the place of the Chin
ney costs great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better.
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel.
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag-
gregating goo horsepower, and directly
above them was mounted fan connect
ed direct with u by double cylinder
engine. The wheel of the fan was 81
run at any speed, it provided a draft
quite independent of the fire. 1t was
possible to use much cheaper grade of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreciable.
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1,624
tons of Cumberland coal, at So. 65, ag-
gregating So, 929 year. Using the
blower, a mixture of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and half,
would suffice. This, at 81. So y, would
amount to 81, 995, showing difference
of 1894. The cost of operating the fan
was placed at S1S3 per annum, SO that
the net gain was 1851, sum greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus.-StL Louis Globe-Dem-

STREET CAR
RAN over HIM
William Turpin Was Fatally
Injured This Morning.
WAS HORRIBLY MANGLED
Died a Few Hours After the Accident
--IEQuest Will be Held
Tonight.
WAS HORRIBLY MANGLED

William Turpin, a laborer, was run
over bv a street car. near the corner of
Park and Wyoming, about I o'clock this
morning.and was frightfully manGled, re-
c~eiving injuries from which he dled
about three hours later.
AS in all such accidents there are sew
eral conflicting stories concerning the
unfortunate affair. There are some eye
witnesses, notably the police officers who
were near the scene of he accident ana
the conductor and motorman of the car
who assert that Turpin was under the
influence of liquor and had plenty of time
to get out of the way. There are others
who say the car was late and in the eff
fort to make up time the car was trav-
cling at ALTOGETHER too high a rate of
speed. and there are still others who
maintain that Turpin was not drunk at
the time the car ran into HIN
The car, No. I, was in charge Of Con-
ductor William Summers n Grlpman
Frank Nelson. Their statement is to the
eff act that they were going at the pre-
scribed rate Of speed when they saw Iuf-
min walking on the track about 60 or 20
feet ahead of the car. He had plenty Of
! time to get out Of the way: the bell was
rung, and as they approached nearer they
! saw the man was under the influence or
liquor. and was evidently paying no at
! tention to the approaching danger An.
effort was then made to stop the car, put
TurDin was struck before this could be
done.
officer William G.. Smith was called to
the corner of Main and Park by a dis
@,,,ho ovid X thGrp when the Hcol-
dent occurred. He noticed Turpin walking
east on Park street, his attention being
drawn to him on account of his irregu-
lar walk which gave the officer the i'm
precision that the man was drunk
This officer watched him closely. He saw
him start across the street ear track and
. must have been at least IS feet in front
of the approaching car. An instant later
Turpin was knocked down and the car
stoned. The officer went to the scene
and was recognized by the injured man
who said to him, BILLY, l am very badly
hurt"
Smith called an ambulance and had
Turpin taken to Murray & Freund's hos
pftal.
After the injured mar had been taken tc
the hospital City overwhelmingly caus-
ed the arrest of Nelson and Summers, the
car men. They We're taken to the county
jail, and subsequently,, were released or
bonds.
Turpin died about 10 o'clock. He was
in intense agony when taken to the hos
pital. and shortly after arriving there
lost consciousness. His legs We're brok.
en- in several places, his pelvis frac'
fractured, his head injured and his bod!
a mass of bruises.
The lead man was about 43 years o
age. He was a native of Seneca Falls
New York, and had resided in Butte i
years, spending his m in the coun
try as a farm laborer, and in the Winte,
time would come to Butte and do porte,
work around saloons.

expected from Washington to g

daily expected from Washington to go
ahead with the work. To the railroad
men the weighing means a great deal.
The compensation for carrying the mail
is fixed every four years and cannot be
changed in that period. 1t is based on
the average amount of mail handled as
determined by the weights reported by
the division superintendent to the sec
Ond assistant postmaster general. who
has immediate charge Of the railway
mail service.
1t is estimated that in four years the
service has increased 40 per cent in the
number of cars and 60 per cent in the
amount of mail carried. without an in
crease of pay. The length of time for
weighing varies from two weeks TO one
month, and the daily average of the Pc
nod is ascertained for every road and the
amount thus estimated. The order for
the Weighing will probably not be made
until the day before the work is to begin.
1t is seldom made public until the day
previous. because it has been charged in
the past that railroads. having advance
notice, have mailed thousands of pounds
of circulars and otherwise increased the
weight of the mail during the weighing
period.
