BODY IN GAS TANK WE'LL.
Mystery of Small Boys Disappear.
 ance Solved.

Newburgh, N. r., July 2S.-After mourning for over three years for her son, Charles, who she thought had been kidnapped, Mrs James Flana- gan of Fishkill Landing, identified yesterday parts of the clothing of the skeleton of a boy found at the bot tom of a gas tank tank we'll Thurs day :. night. Employees of the gas plant were working at one of the three retorts when an iron fitting dropped from the side wall to the bottom of the we'll. In grappling for the fitting, they pulled up child's overcoat. Further investigation re- vealed the remnants of the body of the little Flanagan boy. The child had evidently fallen from the top of the brick wall when the tank was high and the body was crushed by the heavy weight when the tank was lowered.

James J. Hill, the head of the Great Northern and other railroads, has about completed plans for the con- struction of canal to connect the Great Lakes with Lake Winnipeg, in Canada. He is now constructing a Canadian railroad, and he has line of steamers on the Pacific and boat lines on the Great Lakes which can be made of valuable use to such a ca nal. The canal as projected will fol low the chain of small lakes from Lake Huron northwest through the Lake of the Woods to Lake Winni- peg and up the Winnipeg River to the city of that name. His Canadian system of railroads starts from Win nipeg.

The fact that the application of electricity to nearly every form of industry not only increases the out put but decreases the cost of produc- ton. has long since been generally accepted and demonstrated by actual results obtained. says writer in the Engineering Magazine. This is none the less true as applied to the mining and milling of minerals in all coun- tries, though the saving would of course be greater where labor is very expensive were it not for the fact that more laborers are necessary to accomplish the same operations in some localities than in others. Not only does modern machinery greatly reduce the number of employees nee essary. but it also eliminates the per sonal equation, thereby resulting in more uniform product and stable out put. A very good example of this is found in a Mexican mine, which re- gently installed some electric mining locomotives. each of which with four teen men replaced forty-five men, at the same time largely increasing the tonnage output of the mine. In one case adopting electrical haulage has enabled a mine to double its output and reduce the cost of haulage from s cents to 1 cent per ton: this amounted to 30 per cent per annum of the sum invested in the electric power plant.

TO UNITE PRINTING TRADES. President Wilkins Is Making a Tour of Connecticut for That Purpose.

New Haven. July 2i.-In accord with a general movement now going on all over the country of uniting all branches of the printing trade under one national organization. President George Wilkins of the New England Allied Printing Trades council of Boston is making tour of Connecti- cut conferring with the various Typo graphical. Pressmen's and Binders unions seeking their cooperation in the matter. For a few days past he has been in this city and has talked the matter over with the local unions and has the assurance of many of them that they will join. They arc already affiliated under a local allied printing trades council so are right in line for the general movement.
 The cause of this action is supposed to be the expected result of the meet ing of the National Typothetae in Buffalo last week in refusing to treat with a committee from the striking typographical men. A conference was asked for by the union but was de- clined. A like refusal precipated the strike which began year ago and is still on in many cities of the country and more is now expected from this refusal and the movement that is now going on towards affiliat- ing all branches of the trade.
 The pressmen have voted to make a demand for the eight hour day to take effect May 1 next and the bind CTS have a like demand under con- sideration. This is the same demand which started the printers strike and is expected will be refused If such is the case and all the trades are af- fliated as expected general strike will be called and will tie up all places where the demand is not granted.

PUBLIC PARK AT wooDMoNT.
The Fulton Proposed to Be Taken
 Contains About Thirteen Acres.

The Fulton Proposed to Be Taken
 Contains About Thirteen Acres.
 There is a movement on foot among the borough officers of Woodmont, and which is favored by some of the larger taxpayers of that community, to pur- chase the estate of the late Charlotte P. Fulton and convert 1t into a public park. The matter came out in the probate court, but there was no definite action taken, though it was stated that there will be borough meeting at Woodmont in a few days at which this matter will come up for further con- sideration.
 The Fulton estate includes 13 acres of land right in the heart of the popular summer resort and offers an ideal loca- ton for public park. It is planned by the borough packers of this project that should the borough favor the pur- chase of the property to lay out thereon golf links, tennis croquet lawns and devote the rest of the ground to other forms of recreation. Just what the custodian of this estate will ask for the land involved in this proposed tran saetlon could not be learned, but 1t is understood that the 1S acres can be pur- chased for about $6000.
