COST OF STONE DOCKS.
The Expense Much Greater Than the
Estimates Allowed.

The cost of building stone instead Of
timber dry-doclls al Mare Island, Cal. and
League Island, Philadelphia. for the Navy
is much greater than was at first esti-
mated.
The boards of naval experts which ex
amined the conditions prevailing at those
places and determined the reasonable COM
pensation OF the contractors iu making the
change IN their specifications from timber
10 stCne docks have reported that The extra
expense VIII be s151 GOO at least. The con-
tractors who are building both docks claim
that the extra expense should be 81 000 ESQ
on each structure. This is a great surprise
TO the civil engineers Of the Nav. who
made the original estimate of extra cost.
II was represented TO Congress that the
change from timber TO stone docks could
be made for about S558.09 On each dock.
The contractors are not disposed 70 accept
the lower-estimate furnished BY the Board
Of Adjustment. and there is promise Of
controversy. in which event il viii be nee

Police Much Trouble.
CHARLESTON. s C. Sept S,-After a
silence Of several years a religious sect
known to the police OF this city as the
New Adventists," and having as a gen
eraI purpose the seeking of hidden treas
ure is again al work around Charleston.
From the start however, the police are
making efforts 10 discourage the band
Some time ago train was almost
wrecked by reason OF the track having
been dismantled- At first it was believed
that a robber band was in the community,
but later it was found that the track had
been torn up by the Adventists. The band
dug under the earth and struck & box
which was believed to be gold, but which
turned out to be the coffin OF negro
brakeman. A railroad switchman. who
was attracted by the midnight chanting
which accompanied the digging, fright
ened them away and tagged the train
The negroes in the band were afterward
arrested and sent to jail fer tFespassiBg
on railroad property.
Just now the scene of the midnight
searching is around Ashley Junction. a
few miles out OF Charleston. and the
leader says that vision sent them there
again, and every spot around the Junction
is belng searched at night in the hope
that treasure may be found.
The Adyentists recently broke into IN

digging in cellars before their presence
was discovered The noise made by them

POISONOUS SILVERWARE.
Danger TO Health in Using Certain
Imported manufactures.

Walter schumann, Consul of the United
states at Mainz, in a report to the State
Department, writes as follows concerning
the danger to health in the use of silver
mounted ware:
"A Frankfort newspaper calls attention
to the fact that for some time past certain
kinds of silver mounted glass and porce-
lain wares, such as cups, glasses, jars,
vases, etc, have been placed upon the mar
ket. The silver On these articles is applied
by means of galvanopiastic process, IN
baths which contain very large quantities
of potassium cyanide. As glazed wares
have innumerable hairlike cracks, this
deadly poison enters these cracks, and the
articles. beautiful to look at, become d
severe menace TO the health CT anybody
using or handling them, especially asst IS
impossible IN the course or manufacture
to remove this poisonous residuum-
only q short time ago z very severe
case OF poisoning resulted from the use OF
such ware.
4 have spoken with a member of the
firm OF Martin Mayer, the largest manu-
facturers and exporters of jeWeiry in this
consular district. in order TO ascertain the
accuracy OF the foregoing assertions. l
was informed that the statements were
perfectly true and the danger lurking in
these articles was not in the least eXag-
gerated Ny informant said that this firm
refuses TO manufacture these wares on ac-
count of the danger to The workmen. as
well as TO anyone using the goods.
I am told that these goods are chiefly
exported TO the United States from Frank
fort. Berlin, and Stuttgart.
1t might be well for the public to be
Informed Of the danger in these goods. and
steps might be taken to prohibit their
sale -
