BUNRNED OUT FOUR TIMES.
The following from a Litchfield
paper regarding the misfortune of
Mr.. Carey, father of Mrs. W. H.
Harrington of this place.
P. Carry, one of Litchfeld's 8 form
er merchants but for several years
retired from business, was the
victim of bad fire Sunday morn
ing about 1:3O o'clock. The resi-
dence owned by him and his daugh-
ter Mrs. Harrington took fire in some
unaccountable way in part of the
building where no fire was used, and
before the iremen could get in their
work the building and contents were>
practically destroyed. The building
was occupied by MI. Cary and by the
family of Mrs. Burr, widow. The
inmates did not discover the fire
until it had attained good headway,
and barely managed to save them
selves. Mr.. Cary had locked him.
self in SO that the fire cut off his re-
treat, but was helped out by one of
the Schultz boys next door. The
firemen responded promptly to the
call and soon had the flames under
control, but not until the building
was badly Quilted. Some insurance
was carried on the budding, but
nothing on the contents. The loss
to the Burr family is severe one as
almost everything they possessed
was burned. This makes the fourth
fire loss suffered by Mr.. Carey in his
business career. he carried on the
general merchandise business here
for many years in the early days of
the town. The present fire is the
second one at that building, there
been one several years ago
which destroyed the barn on the
premises and damaged the house.
He had large store building and
stock of goods burned on the south
ride Of the track between twenty
i've and thirty years ago, and in
Illinois some time previous had a
stock of furniture and hardware
burned. -
No man more careful about fire
ives than Mr.. Carey, yet in spite of
this he is made the repeated victim

HORSE MEAT SOLD IN NEW
YORK RESTAURANTS. -
New York, April 24-Owing to
the almost prohibitive price of
meats, by reason of the beef trust,
it is said on pretty good authority
that horse meat is being sold at
many of the small restaurants in
this city. Equine roasts and steaks
promise to be on the bill of fare
there for some time to come as a
natural substitute or the more ex-
pensive beef. As yet the substitui-
ton of the doubtful meat has been
attempted only in the cheaper res
taurants. It is asserted by one Of
the down town eating house pro-
prietors that not one customer in ten
or even m ore is able to detect the
difference. commencing April %
all roasts, steak, chops and outlets
will advance s cents until further
notice." That sign is displayed to-
day in many of the lower priced
down town restaurant windows, the
further notice idiom supposedly
being when the meat trust takes off
the screws. Anxious restaurant
are looking for many
protests from patrons for having to
suddenly charged another nickle for
each steak put on the iron.

india rubber belt, which carries 1t into the
elevator and up into the bins. There are
also pipes which do the same work by
means Of suction, so that a shipload of
wheat can be discharged within a few
hours. The machinery will take 500 tons
from the steamer hold into the elevator in
one hour. 1t weighs the grain at the waters
edge, and later on weighs 1t again when it
Is In the sacks ready to be loaded upon the
carts or barges by which it is taken over
the country.
During my visit to the elevator, and. in
deed, throughout the trip, l was accom-
panied by Mr.. A. J~oynson of the Manches-
ter Canal company. He tells me that the
grain imports have steadily increased since
this elevator was finished, and that they
now amount to about $50, 900 tons annually.
During the first six months Of this year
IS 900 tons Of grain have been received into
the elevator, and the most of this came
from the United States.
He tells me that the shipping from the
United States is steadily increasing. Reg
ular steamers have been run here for years
from New York, Savannah, New Orleans
and Galveston, and there have been occa-
sional s~ailings from Baltimore, Newport
News, Charleston. Brunswick, Mobile and
Pensacola. Cattle are now brought here
from Philadelphia, and in the near future
there viii be a direct steamship line from
Chicago to Manchester by way Of the st.
Lawrence, the Welland canal and the Great
Lakes. These ships will bring cargoes OF
lumber and provisions, and a regular serv-
ice will probably be maintained.
Canada and the West Indies.
Canada already has a line of large steam
ers to Manchester, which make regular
trips during the summer. These ships
bring both lumber and cattle. Some OF
them are of over 5000 tons, having ac-
commodation for 700 live beeves.
There is a good prospect for a fruit trade
between Manchester and the West Indies.
Within the last few months bananas ave
been brought here from Jamaica and a
regular banana service is to be instituted
which will supply the Midlands with this
fruit. and this service may in the future be
extended to Porto Rico and Cuba. The
fruit companies here have bought three
steamers from the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
way company and will run them to Jamaica.
Each boat will bring 10000 punches Of
bananas.
Among the recent arrivals are two ships

How the Canal Was Built.
As a result the Manchester manufacturers
saw ruin staring them In the face. They
came together, planned this ship canal and
raised the money to build 1t. They got the
city corporation OF Manchester to back
them to the extent Of SIS. OOO. 900; they put
their hands into their own pockets and gave
millions more, and within a short time they
had an army of laborers at work larger
than that which Xenophon led on his march
to the sea. When in full swing their army
consisted Of 1900 men divided into eight
companies, ofacered by picked experts, each
digging at a section about four miles In
length. This army had its camps in each
section. Its tents were wooden houses
made from lumber brought from the United
States. and. as many Of the workmen had
their wives and families, there was a busy
town along the whole line OF the canal.
No one can appreciate the extent of the
work without going over the canal. 1t is
thirty-nVe and a half miles long, twenty
six feet deep and at the bottom 100 feet
wide. II you can imagine a cellar SO deep
that you could drop a two-story house

face, so wide that the average city lot could
be laid crosswise across the bottom and so
long that 1t would take a railroad train at
a good speed an hour to run from one end
Of 1t to the other, you may have some idea
OF this enormous ditch which the Man
chester people have dug from their city to
the sea. A part Of the canal was along the
course Of the little river Irwell, but much
OF 1t had to be dug out of the solid rock.
The excavation necessary was half as great
as that required for the Suez canal and
most Of 1t much more dificult. Eight miles
OF embankments and sea walls had to be
erected along the foreshore Of the Mersey,
and upon the whole canal 10000. 900 bricks
and 22o, OOO,00O cubic yards Of masonry were
constructed.
Five sets of locks were put in, each big
enough to admit an Atlantic liner, and these,
by means OF great sluice gates, raise and
lower the ships to the height or depth OF
sixty feet. There are, In short, from Man
chester to the sea. nve mighty steps, each
twelve feet high. which the ships have to
climb In coming up the canal.
was surprised at the extent Of the Man
chester docks. It seems strange to see all

the SURF findings of one of the largest sea-
ports right in the heart of a rich manufac-
turing and agricultural country. The docks
are watts of water walled with masonry and
surrounded with great warehouses, which
are equipped with the finest of modern ma
chinery. The water space within them
covers 256 acres and the total length of the
quays about them is more than FIVE miles.
In one Of the DOCKS three Atlantic liners
have been berthed simultaneously at the
same quay, and during my visit yesterday l
saw a ship from Bombay, one from Aus
tralia and one from Galveston loading and
unloading goods almost side by side. Along
the docks railways run and the company
has 100 miles of track connected with the
canal, and there are more than forty trains
daily. carrying goods in and out the docks.
1t was In the canal company's steam
launch that / was taken from dock to dock
and from warehouse to warehouse, and it
was with a canal oficial that I later on
took q trip down the canal from Manchester
to the sea on the Duke Of Leinster, bound
for Ireland. Our captain Of the Leinster was
a jolly old sea dog who rembled like a leaf
as We were photographed standing on deck
going down the canal.

This elevator is Of American construe-
tion, having been built by Messrs. John s.
Metcalf & Co. of Chicago. 1t has a storage
capacity Of O.OOO tons Of grain or 1900, 900
bushels Of wheat, and in It there are 226
bins or pits. the largest Of which holds as
much as 800 tons. The elevator is right On
the canal, and the grain is taken directly
from the ship through a marine leg, which
works by revolving buckets on an endless
chain. lifts the grain up into the tower
beside the boat and drops it upon a wide

Of about seven pounds for 81. They will keep for
months and If they dry when shelled can be
boifed a few minutes TO soften them. Chopped or
