The loss sustained by the burning
of Emanuel Hawkins store on Pop
lar street, East Americas, at 10
o'clock Tuesday night was consider
able. Hawkins is thrifty and re-
liable colored storekeeper and car
ried a stock of groceries estimated to
be worth $400 The building and stock
were practically destroyed, although
the fire department saved the Henry
Jones residence next door, which was
in imminent peril. Hawkins had 5000
insurance upon his stock, but his
policy burned with other papers in
his desk, although it's value is not
vitiated thereby. 1t is believed the
fire was of incendiary origin.

SWITZERLAND AS
A WINTER RESORT

GENEVA, Dec (SpeciaD =
Switzerland is coming to be a popu-
lar winter resort. Thousands go from
England, Germany, Russia and the
north of France to the Rivivia, Egypt,
Algeers, the Canary Islands, and
other southern resorts to escape the
rigors of their home winters, just
as the well-to-do New Workers run
to the warm places in the Southern
States to avoid the snow and ice
shivers of the New York winters.
From the North to the South is the
rule in winter, and has been the rule
for generations back
But there are those who when
the time comes around for their win
ter holidays, instead of going into
the lands of straw hats and shirt
waists, buy tickets for Switzerland
and spend their vacations in that
country of snow and ice. How
many come to Switzerland to enjoy
the winter sports and to seek health
in its frost-laden aid it is impossible
to state even approximately; but
there are a number Of districts in
the country that annually swarm
with foreign visitors, and the influx
each year is far greater than the
previous year.
With young Englishmen and Eng
lish girls, who are great lovers of
outdoor life and sports, winter Swift
erland is extremely popular

BETTER RAILS.

There is a substantial agreement be-
tween the manufacturers and the rail-
roat. managers that the rails furnished
in the future will be of distinctly ber-
ter quality than in the past, and that
the price will be increased from S28 to
$33 per ton. The first improvement
will come in better distribution Of
metal between the head, web and the
base. This question of form is one
perience. The base is necessar: to hold
the rail upon the ties, the web to sup
port the head, and the head to endure
the terrific pounding it daily receives
from the immense engines rushing
along it at high speed. Experience has
late years is better able to withstand
this pounding than the web and base
are to support the head. Therefore,
there will be more metal put into the
latter. The steel men insisted that the
weight of the rail should be increased
from 11O to lis pounds per yard, in
stead of from 80 to leo pounds per
ydTu, DIS DIT pTeSeut. IHey poiHieu OUT
that the 100-pound rail was adopted IA
years ago, when the maximum load on
the wheels of fast passenger engines
was only 10000 pounds per wheel Sine,
then the maximum load has gone Up II
90, 900 pounds per wheel. with marked
increase in speed. The managers in
sisted that the present weight of rail
was ample il the rail was properly
made, with a more careful eliminatiun
of phosphorOus; the rejection of at
least 25 per cent of the top OF every
ingot and proper time was taken TO
work the rails thru the rolls The
makers agree to work the rails More
slowly and to install open hearth fur
naces, which will greatly reduce the
contents of PHOSPHORUS. They will
also throw away the upper 25 per cent
of each ingot in place of 10 per cent,
as heretofore. This top of th.. ingot
contains a much larger proportion OF
PHOSPHORUS and other impurities than
the rest of the block, and distinc,
gain will be made in the quality OF the
rails by rejecting the upper one GUAR
tier.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The news from the Isthmus is to the
effect that the American steam shovels
are more than fulfilling the expectations
of the engineers, and the work of ex-
cavation isnprogressing with such rapid
ity asfo promise completion in two or
more years less than had been calcu-
lated. sin view of this the Chief Engi-
neer Has asked and received from the
War Department authority to expend
SO, 000,09g more than the appropriation.
in order to keep the work going at its
present rate. 1t will be good economy
to keep all the great establishment
which has been prepared for the work
going ahead as fast as it can be pushed.
The expenses of superintendent and
maintenance are just the same whether
there is 10000 cubic yards of dirt dug
in a month or 100000. The great job
of digging seems to be dwindling in its
magnitude. The ent. of it can be seen,
and 1t is a question whether it will not
overtake and be retarded by the lesser
work of building the dams and locks.
30 lar nOtHlnS mas Deen uOne on tnlS
except preliminary digging, by six steam
shovels, but it looks now as if the ma
sonry can be started in about one and
a half years.
Sufficient supplies of good sand and
rock have been found. where they are
easily available. and mills for the manu-
facture of cement are being erected.
There is a hope, however, that these
will not be actually needed, but that
the Government will be able to secure
what it wants at reas enable prices in
the United States.
The Chagres River has been diverted
from its channel and damned so as to
install pipe line dredge, which will do
large portion of the work of con-
structing the dam.
The survey of the country which will
be covered by the great Gatun Lake
has been completed, and will give the
lake a water surface Of III square
miles, or about the size of small East
ern County.
Congress will undoubtedly vote suffi-
cient money at the next session to keep
all the work going at the speed that is
now being made.
