Some conception of the rate of pro-
duction of the ginghams, sheetings and
other textiles for which Manchester,
N. H., is famous, may perhaps be
gained by an illustration. says Albert
S, Clough in the National Magazine.
II the output of it's factories were sew
ed together, as produced, into sin
gle continuous piece, and its end were
attached to the stern of a departing
ten-day transatlantic liner. Manches-
ter's busy looms and spindles and it's
$4,000 skilled operatives could pay
out" the cloth as fast as called for.
Manchester could make a cotton gir-
die to encircle the earth at the equator
in over a week less than the eighty
days which Jules Verne imagined as
requisite for his traveller to circum-
navigate it. Its daily output is $50
miles.

A Boston business man who has a
very poor opinion of the detectives in
that city sent for two of them recently
and showed the photograph of a rather
tough-looking person whose indentity
he seemed anxious to learn. One of the
sleuths at once Identified the man as a
noted bank robber; the other inclined
to the belief that IL was an equally no.
torious forger. They finally agreed
that IL was the bank robber. whereupon
the business man showed the back OF
the photograph, on which they read
the originals name-William Dean
Howells. When the author heard that
he had been mistaken for a noted crim-
inal he thoughtfully observed that he
could not blame the detectives.

KILLED IN A WRECK.

Wednesday a wreck occurred in the
railroad yard at Fernandina and
caused the death of one man, while
another is lingering with the slightest
chances for recovery. Moody Walker

was injured. They were underneath
some cars when the crash came and a
half dozen empty gondolas were piled
up like chaff. 1t took an hour to ex-
tricate the two men from the debris
The cause of the accident was the
breaking of the coupling of Engineer
Duffy's engine and the running away
of thirty cars loaded with jetty rock,
which the engine was pushing down
the track.

FROM WATER FRONT
COTTON SHIPPING SEASON PRACTI-

SMALL STOCK UPLAND LEFT.
MOST OF THE STOCK is SEA ISLAND
COTTON.

Receipts for the SeasOn-Mr. Geo. #.
Armstrong Admitted as Partner In
Firm of Strachan & Co., shipping
Agents-Largest Schooner of Her
CIass-Of Interest to shippers.
Upland cotton shipping from savan-
nah between now and the new season
will be small, according to the local
stock and the prospects for cotton com
ing on here from the interior for ex-
port 1t is believed that most OF the
exports from now on. owing to the
probable smallness of receipts, will be
by the indirect lines, going to Balti-
more or ports to the North and taken
there by the foreign liners. Savannah
has only about fifty bales of unsold
cotton, and of the stock all except
little over 1000 bales is sea island cot
ton. The season has been a satisfac-
tory one. The receipts for export have
been 1892, 40S bales, against 1,lO6,224
bales last year.
MIR. Geo. +. Armstrong n Partner.
Mr.. George F. Armstrong has been
admitted a member of Strachan & Co.
ship brokers, which now consists of
Cart. George P. Walker, F. D. M.
Strachan and Mr.. Armstrong. the
business is also conducted at Bruins
wick under the title of F. d. M.
Strachan & Co.
Mr.. Armstrong; rise to membership
in this firm is the fruit of many years
of faithful service in practically every
department of the business. He went
with the firm a few months after its
organization, and has been with it con-
tinuously since 1887, first as bill OF lad
ing clerk, cashier and bookkeeper ana
then in the freighting department.
With exporters here and throughout
the interior with which the firm does
business Mr.. Armstrong is popular,
and the announcement of his new con-
nection will be pleasing to them.
Strachan & Co. are among the lead
ing shipping agents in the South.
From Savannah they load steamers
for the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Bal
tic, United Kingdom and continental
ports, and have been doing so since
1886. They are general agents for the
Austro- American Line, with steamers
from both Savannah and Brunswick.
During the coming season this line ex-
poets to have at least three sailings
monthly from Savannah, and as the
fleet consists of twenty-seven fast
boats they expect to make the service
good.

FIRE ESCAPES FOR WESLEYAN.
The fire which occurred at Wesleyan

probably be the cause of fire escapes

For several years past Chief Jones of
the fire department has been urging
the necessity of providing for the es-
cape of students in case of fire, but
each time has been told that it was
practically impossible for the students
to be cut off from escape. The retir-
ing president, DR.. Roberts. has also
been of the opinion that fire escapes
were needed and took the greatest pre-
cautions against any conhagration.
