NOVEL TRACK LAYER.
Rails Laid From Construction Train

Rails Laid From Construction Train
Moving 1.sOO Feet an Hour.
At the rate OF three and Il half miles
a day a peculiar piece OF mechanism is
laying the tracks of the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Muncie railroad. says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. This track
laying machine automatically and ac-
curately lifts the ties and rails into po-
sition. the most drudginS labor in all
railroad construction. 1t also furnishes
the motive power for its own construc-
ton train.
There We're stretches Of roadbed over
which the construction train moved ut
u rate of 1900 feet an hour. The ma
chine utilized was one which differs in
many essentials from that which has
been used west of tie Mississippi river.
One of its most interesting features i.
the II in which the material is de-
livered to the rGadl,ed and the COMMA
atively few men required for tie differ
ent operations. as the ties and rails are
lifted and moved from the cars en-
which they are carried to. the rOaabed
being connected and spiked while the
train is in motion.
An endless chain carrier puts the ties
in position. while Il crane suspended
upon a steel truss lowers the rails in ad-
vance of the construction train.
The machine weighs fifty tons and
was made in Scranton. Pa. 1t is the
only one of it's kind in existence. and
its inventor, Mr.. Hurley. who accom-
panies the machine. spent ten years in
%perfecting it and thousands of dollars
III models before success crowned his
efforts. The work done upon the Cincin-
natl. Richmond and Muncie road dem
onstrated that a force Of about forty
competent men was all that are re-
Quired to operate the machine to its
fullest capacity and then when condi-
tons are favorable over three miles of
track in a day of ten hours could be
put down without difficulty, while an
average of over two and one-half miles
could be recorded. The gearing on
which the material is conveyed from
the platform through the machine can
be doubled. The weight of the rails
handled includes the heaviest used for
standard gauge construction. some Of
them averaging 400 tons to the mile.
The track layer has also been operat-
ed successfully in the winter season on
days when the mercury was below the
zero point.

OF the superior manner in which this
clip had been handled the highest
bidders were anxious to secure it and
instead of tossing to decide the tie
they agreed to divide and each took
half. All the buyers commented most
favorably on the excellent manner in
which the clip had been prepared for
market, it being free of tags and all
foreign matter. Only one clip equally
well handled has ever been sold on
the local exchange.

BULLION RECOVERED.
Cache of Bi-MetalIic Mill Thieves Is
Discovered.

P%hilipsburg, Mont, July 23.-The
bullion stolen from the Bi-Metallic
mill Tuesday evening was recovered
this evening. Just about dark, as
some boys were playing around the
hill on the Granite road, a few hundred
yards north OF the mill, they discov-
cred a bar of bullion sticking out of
a hole, in which it had evidently been
hastily buried. The boys notified their
father, c. l.. Cutler, an employee of the
mill. He notified the company officials
and sheriff, the result being that the
whole lot was recovered. The sheriff
has also obtained important clews,
consisting of clothing worn by the
thieves, and some arrests are likely
to follow. IL is the opinion of the
sheriff that five men were interested
in the theft.

TICKETS FOR OPEN AIR EVENT
Will Go on Sale To- Morrow Morning
 Big Social Affair

Will Go on Sale To-Morrow Morning Big Social Affair.
 The sale of tickets for the two open lair performances by Ben Greet's com Ipany at the Lawn club grounds next
 Monday afternoon and evening will be- gin tomorrow morning at the box of- flee of the Hyperion theater It is prob-
 able that this sale will be a record breaker, as the entertainment is one
 which has an extraordinary attraction
 for nearly every one. In the first place,
 the plays are given under the auspices
 of the Yale Dramatic association, and
 this alone is enough to give a social aspect to the occasion which will lend
 distinction to it. Furthermore, the plays are to be given in the open air, performed on natural stage of green sward and underneath leafy canopy And lastly, but by no means least im- portant, is the fact that the company which is to present the plays is headed
 by so remarkable young actress as
 Miss Wynne Matthison. It is almost
 incredible that this young woman should have come to America unher-
 aided, and, appearing in the old moral ity play of "Everyman," should have at
 once stepped into the very first rank of
 artists. The vogue of this beautiful and wonderfully talented young Eng lishwoman has not been won by adver-
 Using, for her manager, MT. Greet, is
 absolutely opposed to the ridiculous
 starring system with it's circus methods of advertising. Both as Rosalind in the afternoon and Adriana in the evening,
 in Shakespeare's most farcical play of Comedy of Errors,' Miss Matthison will have splendid opportunities for the display of her powers.
 It is announced that 'tAs You Like
 It" will be given at o'clock in the af-
 ternoon and Comedy of Errors at S:15 in the evening.

NEARLY 100 JEWS SLAIN.

Kishineff Massacre Only Half Acknowl-
 edged by Russia, Lord Cranborne Tells
 House of Commons.
 London, May ,19.-The under foreign secretary, Lord Cranborne, was asked in the house of commons to-day for in- formation on the, massacre of Jews at Kishineff, Besserabia, month ago. The secretary, in reply, placed the total number of killed at about double the number given in the official Russian re- port. Otherwise the facts did not differ from those already published. Lord 5 Cranborne added: IT,
 According to the governments infor- nation, the disturbances arose from the murder of Christian lad, which was \ wrongly attributed to the Jews. The latter retaliated on their assailants, and the result was an attack on the Jews by mob on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, in which, it is believed, about 8 hundred Jews lost their lives and many more were injured"
 The Jews of London are very indig- nant at the assertion of Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador at Washing ton, that the troubles at Kishineff were the outcome of the usury of the money lenders. The editor of the Jewish World offers to give s250 to any American charitable institution named by Count Cassini if the latter can substantiate his assertion to the satisfaction of three Americans of standing in the United States.
 The official announcement from St. Petersburg, May il, said that forty-five persons were killed and 424 were injur- ed during the massacre at Kishineff,
