FIRST INDUSTRIAL NATION.
Foreign Comments on the Activity of
 the Americans.

London, December 2.-The Times Vienna correspondent says:
 Under the title European Economical Alliance. Paul Leroy Beulie. in the Nesue- weiner Tageblatt after reciting America's immense resources and growing population, says:
 They may henceforth be regarded as the first industrial nation, and their superi- ority will become strikingly evident year by year. The United States will, moreover, soon have a considerable mercantile ma rine Americans are already accustomed to regard Europeans, more particularly con- tinentals, in about the same light as orl- entals, who vegetate in dreams of the past
 He points out that European states in- dividually are comparatively restricted as to markets, and cannot carry a division of labor to the utmost limits, and he suggests an economical alliance and then regulation of tariffs by a permanent European com mission. This commercial cooperation, he thinks, might lead to the armament of all lesser countries.

AN ACCIDENT AT
 THE POWER HOUSE Bursting of Pulley Caused Con-
 siderable Destruction OCCURRED AT 1:3O O'CLOCK Two Machines at Consolidated Electric Plant Temporarily Disabled and Inconvenience Caused Night
 Workers-Damage $500.
OCCURRED AT l;3O O'CLOCK

The bursting of an immense pulley at the power house of the Consolidated Electric Light Company at Ills o'clock this morning wrought considerable destruction and caused the temporary shutdown of two of the machines. which furnish power for one of the incandescent circuits, the telephone exchange and the. late car service.
 The accident occurred on a small machine which is used from midnight until a. m o'clock to relieve the big machines that fur due, it Is thought, to defect in the cast ing. The pulley was feet in diameter, with a 30-inch face, and was attached to the main line of shafting in the basement just below the floor of the machine room. When it gave way it twisted the 6-inch steel shaft like a reed and communicated the trouble to the next pulley attached to another ma chine, which also collapsed. The derange- ment of the shafting tore the floor of the machinery hall to pieces and scattered the broken fragments in all directions, caus- ing noise that was heard for several blocks
 Night Captain Weir of the police depart ment, who was standing at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, heard the noise and rushed over to the plant, ex- pecting to find that the boiler had exploded and the employees killed or injured.
 As soon as the accident occurred, Presi- dent Jemison and Superintendent Bradley were notified and were soon on the scene, and a hasty examinatio showed that the greatest damage had been done by the de- rangement of the wives, which were scat tered and twisted into a mass. A force of men were soon put to work, and in less than two hours the other machines were started and the service resumed on all cir cults.
 The shutting off of the power caused con- siderable inconvenience to the little army Of night workers who are dependent on the service. The mechanical department of The Age-Herald was shut down by the accident and the telephone girls were unable to an- swer calls and for the short time life for them was made miserable <
 President Jemison of the company roughly estimated the damage at between 5000 and $500, but said that it might possibly be a little more.

STOPPING A LOCOMOTIVE.
Why Steam Cannot be Shut Off and the
 Air-Brake Applied lnstantaneously.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
 Some interesting testimony regarding the
 handling of locomotive was given by en-
 gineers in a recent trial of an accident
 case at Kansas City, Mo. Among those
 who testified was Sandy Baldridge who
 has been an engineer on the Union Pacific
 thlrty-one years, and is known to almost
 every travelling man then road. MT.
 Baldridge testified that passenger train
 going six miles an hour could not be stop
 ped within fewer than from 150 to 175 feet;
 going ten or twelve miles hour, 200 to
 225 feet and at a speed of eighteen or twen-
 ty miles more than 300 feet would be re-
 quired.
 Tt usually takes the length of about six
 coaches" he said. 'The coaches are 52
 feet long, so that would be 312 feet This,
 of course, is in an emergency, where we
 are not expecting to make stop. Where
 we are anticipating a stop we can make 1t
 in shorter time, because we prepare for 1t.
 We shut the speed down to about eight miles, say, some time before reaching the stopping point, maybe a mile off, and al low the momentum and the low pressure together to carry the train within short distance, and then apply the air when tho momentum has about exhausted itself. I begin to stop fully a mile before reaching some stations. Usually, Tn pulling into Kansas City, begin to stop one-fourth of a mile away.
 'There are various things which prevent an instantaneous stop. In the first place the throttle must be closed The steam does not cease It's work on the same instant that the engineer shuts it off, for the reason that the point at which he shuts 1t off is twenty feet from the cylinder heads, and 20-foot pipe, six inches in diam- eter, full of steam, must empty itself through the cylinder heads before the steam is exhausted. The twenty feet of steam exerts just as high pressure as l any other twenty feet, and works the pis- | ton rods for an instant after the throttle is closed.
 'In the second place the air-brakes, while | they are an effective appliance, are not nearly so effective as the general public l supposes. The operation of releasing the l air, of producing vacuum and of open | ing the valves that finally press the brake l shoes against the wheels. is so complicated l that it takes an appreciabie moment of | time to apply the air All that the engineer | does is to swing a small lever halfway

ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFRAY.
May Cause the Death of Two and
 Cripple Another.

Carbondale, H., December 25.-A shoot ing affray which may cause the death of two and which has maimed for life one other person occurred this evening at Yer gennes, small station on the Illinois Gen. tral Railroad in this county. Joseph and Jake Davidson, brothers, quarrelled with Henry Fox, a farmer, at a village dance. Joe Davidson emptied his revolver into Foxs abdomen. Other shots were fired, which probably mortally wounded Poe Py- att, by-stander. The brothers fled and a small posse was sent after them. A few miles from town three men named Tippey, Grain and Holt, overlook the brothers and ordered them to surrender. A running fight took place and both the brothers were wounded, one being shot through the eye. He will probably die.
 The other brother was badly wounded in the shoulder They were captured and placed in the county jail.

Father Jacker found the ruins of the chapel, and dig ging beneath the altar sites discovered the relics. They were sent to Marquette Col lege, which was then being built.

AMERICAS EXPANSION.
English Comments on Our Manufactur-
 ing Interests Abroad.

London, December 25-The Times this morning prints another long article upon the progress of American steel and iron competition, concluding as follows:
 How much of the worlds expansion will America take from us? How much will she leave for us to struggle over with oth- CT manufacturing nations? Naturally the problem will be solved far sooner than has been generally expected. The abnormal demand of the United States for its own engineering products Is fast slackening, thus bringing the marvellous increase in American manufacturing capacity for the last five years and especially for the last three to bear upon foreign markets. It is a question paramount to all others, even to the efficiency of the navy subsidy"

A Swarm of Black Eyes.

From the Philadelphia Post.
 Mrs. Leslie Carter, the American actress, Is a very observant woman. One day dur ing her recent London engagement, in chat ting with some English actors and act re sses, she said:
 Your poorer people in London must be very quarrelsome; both men and women of them seem to do great deal of fighting among themselves"
 "Oh, I don't know" replied the English man. What makes you think so?''
 Well in my short walk from the Strand to Charing Cross road this morning I met more people-poor people from their dress with black eyes and eyes bound up than I should see in a month in New York;
 The company smiled, and one broke the news gently to Mrs Carter that, with the London poor, the ophthalmic department of the Charing Cross Hospital which stands between the Strand and Charing Cross road, is very popular. and that poor people come there to get free attention. That explained the number of black eyes she had seen.
