Remarkable Locomotive.

DR.. H. S. Heleshaw, Professor Of
Engineering at University College,
Liverpool, lectured at the Royal In
stltution On the subject of "Locomo-
I tion on the earth; through the water;
IN the air." This was the first of a
series of six lectures suitable for
youthful audiences.
The lecturer showed some beauti-
lui models, drawings and photo
graphs OF the latest locomotive won.
DER the Diplock Pedrail. The lec.
'urer s assistant made a.model of this
curious invention go a..x--.6r,s speeds
and with perfect ease up andldown 3
miniature staircase.
This new locomotive is supplied
with multitude of elephantine feet,
which will probably render it SER
viceable in agricultural and military
operations. 1t can be employed
over the toughest roads and even
over country where roads 90 not
exist. " NV
Among the pictures shown on the
screen We're rough drawings of
pneumatic tire, air-pump, enA other
apparatus reproduced from a batept
specification of fifty years agS. It
was mentioned that in spite xf the
efforts at minimizing railway & c,ion

Il NEW PASSENGER DEPOT.

we are well aware Of the fact that
the Southern Railroad is thoroughly
competent to attend to its own bust
ness, ana while we do not wish to as
sumo tho role of Monitor, we hopa VIC
will be excused for calling attention
to need that has long been felt and
has at last gotten to be a necessity
here, and that is a more commodious
AID up-to. date passenger depot. The
present structure is not at all in keep
Ing with the general prosperity Of the
town OF Union, which prosperity and
rapid growth is to be seen on every
hand. Neither is it in keeping with
the Southern's idea Of progressive
ness end sym metry, as is evidenced
along its lines in its modern passen-
pm depots, even at small sand unim-
at small way stations tQf them even
TO our little station house. This ms.
senger depot was all right for tbe
Union Of fifteen years ago, but if is
not only small, close, stuTy and
squatty, bat is an eyesore to the cjti-
Hens OF our progressive town, and TO |
the travelling public as we'll.
when we see the handsome md
commodiou' depots at various sta.
'ions along the line OF the Southern.
many OF Them at towns of far lese

staid in the court to see what was

dered to myself if there could not be
some way to avoid all this trouble
and expense, as it certainly is yerv
heavy on the people. We do not
have any court down hear, every one
tends to his own business. How
much better would i: be for every
community to do likewise.
Mr. Editor, one Of my neighbors
went out to your city not long aeo
to get some goods. He drove q
mule that sometimes wants his own
way. So he left his mule down at
the railroad depot while he went nm
street (not far from Farr & Thomrr
son $ store) where they keep some
goods called two X. This man was
detained some time up there SO fbe
mule gets a little restless and CON
c'udes he would walk round town a
little and was captured by one of the
Guy policeman aud turned over TO
one of the livery stable men for go 70
Keeping. When my neighbor was
ready TO go home he could not find
ms mule. After some time he was
told that his mule was in the stablo !
for safe keeping, He went and do.
manded his mule. He was told tho,
she cost was twenty-five cents which
he refused to pay, but finally agreed
to pay Ind told them to brine h;s
mule out. So the stable man went
Tor him but not SO for the mule woujJ
not let him come near him, 81 he mad

Editorial Comments.

The death in Columbia Of n. G.
Gonzales, Lieut.. t.-GOy. Tillman's de.
fenseless victim, puts upon the peo-
pie OF South Carolina the duty of vim
dicating the orderly processes Of the
law and affords them the opportunity
| Of demonstrating that theirs is a civ
iliHed Commonwealth. The killing
| or Gonzales in the light of day and in
alght OF witnesses was assassination
not only unprovoked but capable of
proof ample and absolute before a
Jury. 1t was not an encounter" or
u duel" 1t was not "political
murder" but murder pure and sim
pie, and as murder should be dealt
WITHIN. Y. World.
The shooting of. Editor Gonzales
of the Columbia Is. C.) State. by
observation-disclosures Jim Tillman, is
Just another of those disgraceful cpl
sodes that have characterized South
Carolina politics in the last few years.
There is but one way to prevent
'hese tragedies, and that is to treat
the man who carries a pistol nc
common criminal-for that he is, or
gets his consent to be when he arms
Himself TO take human life. The
laws on this point should not only
be more stringently enforced, but we
should have more stringent laws on
this subject in every Southerd State.

A STRIKE PROBABLE.
Wabash Trainmen and President Ram.
sey Fail to Come to Terms.

st. Louis, Feb 19.-As a result of
the inability of President Ramsey and
the committee of the Wabash train
men and conductors to come to terms,
a poll has been ordered by the officers
of the order on the original demand
for an increase of Is per cent. to all
freight conductors and trainmen and
IL per cent. to the passenger conduc-
tors and trainmen. At a conference
between President Ramsey and the
Wabash representatives of the commit
tees, the committees offered a COM
promise on the original demand to the
effect that the increase asked should
apply only to trainmen and conductors
employed on Wabash lines west of
line drawn from Chicago to Danville,
ILL.,, excluding about 600 miles of the
system. This proposition was refused
by President Ramsey, it is stated. on
the ground that the Wabash lines in
Illinois are not and should not be in
cluded in the western divisions of the
road, and that the same wages should
apply to them as to the eastern lines.
He stated that the Wabash had met
and exceeded the advance made by the
competing lines in the east and he was
willing to consider proposition for an
advance in the wage schedule of the
lines west of the Mississippi to meet
the advance granted by other south
western lines centering in ST. Louis.
It was stated Wednesday night that
the matter strike will be ordered, as
it is believed the trainmen and con-
ductors on the system will endorse the
original demands.

THE NEW DEPARTMENT.
No Building Is Large Enough For 1t,
and One May Be Built.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Representa-
tive Mercer, chairman of the house
committee On public buildings and
grounds, conferred Wednesday with
Secretary CortelyOu concerning a
building for the new department of
commerce and labor The necessity
for such building is urgent as the de-
partment will be one of the largest in
the government. Figures have been
prepared showing in detail the amount
of space that will be necessary, which
indicate that a suitable building is not
available at present in the city.
Chairman Mercer indicated his pref
erence for a new building, to be erect
ed expressly for the new department.
He thought that if adequate plans
should be presented, the authorization
Of the building might be obtained
from the present congress. Tempo
rary quarters will have to be leased
and it is not unlikely that the South
ern railway building may be consid-
cred.

SO-CALLED "REEF TRUST"
The Case Disposed of BY Judge Gross
cup at Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The so called
beef trust" case was disposed of
Wednesday by Judge Grosscup in the
United States circuit court, the de-
murrer of the packers being overruled
and a temporary injunction granted.
The attorneys for the packers made
no announcement of their intentions.
They have until March 4 to discuss
the matter with their principals If
they deny the facts upon which Judge
Grosscup based his decision the mat
ter will go before "a master in chan
Gerry, who will hear the evidence and
the case will again be argued before
Judge Grosscup. An appeal may be
taken, in order to hasten the final adj
judication of the case. 1t is not be-
lieved likely that the packers will let
the matter go by default, thus making
the Injunction permanent
