SECOND VULCAN CASTING
PROVED TO BE A SUCCESS

and legs are nearing completion and they
will probably be cast next week. They
are about twelve feet tall. and the foot
is something over seven feet in length,
so that 1t will require very long hole
in which to place the mould to make the
casting.
In lifting the plaster head Wednesday
the supports gave way and the piece fell
to the ground, and was badly broken, but
Sculptor Moretti and his assistants are
at work on it and will have it ready for
casting before the other pieces are out
of the way. 1t will require about two
more days to finish mendng the brealUge.
but when 1t is completed it will be even
stronger than before, as the braces will
be larged and the plaster cast will be
thicker. This was the thinnest portion
of the plaster cast, and 1t was hardly
strong enough to bear the pressure.

A Philadelphia dispatch to the Wall
Street Journal says:
1T is commended that with the opening
of the Panama canal much freight Will
be sent SOUTH to be loaded on vessels on
the west coast of Florida 1t is believed
by railroad officials that instead of all
the transports for points In the Pacific
leaving San Francisco, a number will
leave from the coast of Florida, as tho
MOST of transporting the stores for these
much cheaper If loaded there than IL they
were carried aor oss the continent
with this belief, officials of the Sea-
board Air Line are planning for an extern
zion from Sarasota. in Florida, to Bolo
Grande. on Charlotte harbor. The distance
is about forty miles. This harbor has
splendid facilities. as the water Is deep
enough to accommodate the largest ships
It is also sheltered, and, it is said, will
make a splendid place for transports to
fit out for a long cruise. The Seaboard
is also to establish a line of steamers from
Florida to Cuba and other points in the
West Indies.
Besides this improvement. the Seaboard
is having survey made for an extern
sion from Rutherfordton, n. c., to Peach
Orchard, where connection will be made
with the Chesapeake and Ohio. The latter
is now building a line from Ashland to
Peach Orchard.
THE road has two objects In view in
the construction of this line. 1t will afford
direct connection with the Chesapeake
and Ohio, with an outlet to points in the
west, and will give needed access to a
large coal territory"

The second casting Vulcan was sue
cess. 1t was at first feared that there
had been a flaw in the casting, but sculp-
tor Moretti and Mr.. Mcwane. owner of
the foundry, examined it closely and they
state that the flaw is not material one
and will not mar the work
The part cast was the body from the
hips up to point just below the arm
pits. The piece is about eight feet in
heighth and weights about 1900 pounds.
The casting was made about o'clock
Wednesday night, and it was late yester-
day afternoon before the core was finally
broken away and the piece was lifted
from the bed in which 1t was cast.
Inc casting will be taken outside the
foundry today and will be cleaned and
painted to prevent rust. Other pieces will
follow rapidly. The moulds for the feet
