Severn! c>attle Hags, also in bronze, lie beneath th .mtstretched left hand of the slave. T;e monument is erected in the cemetery set'apart for the burial of Scottish-American soldiers, a handsome plot of ground in Carlton Hill Cemetery, which was given by the Town Council. The ceremony of unveiling the monument was imposing and of an International charae-. ter. A large detachment of Princess Louise's regiment (the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) acted as a guird of honor. The band of the regiment accompanied the deta.-hraent. The municipal officers were all att?r>jd in their robes of office. Tlie ceremony was presided over by Sir William Arroll. Professor Christie, of Pennsylvania, opened the proceedings with a prayer.

The Giiberton (Penn.) borough officials tore lip the tracks of the Schuylkill Traction Company because that company failed to comply with the borough ordinances. The company cfflcials sent a force of men to try to effect an amicable settlement. When the break in the roid wan reached President 15. E. Jouos of the traction company, with Richard Amour of Shennudoali. chief of the company's police, got of th?? car and in a few moments had effected a settlement, and the work of tearing up tracks was stopped. In the car were a number of men taken on at Girardville, members of the National Guard, who had with them rifles belonging to the company. While the railway officials were engaged in conversing with the borough officers some of the crowd taunted the men on board the car and called out "Where is trie Girardvillo militia?" A man named John Briggs, of Girardville, stepped out and said. "Here we are," accompanying his salutation with an oath, and levelling his rifle llred into the crowd, killing Itichard raiiltt. a spectator. This enraged the people and stones wnre thrown. Shots from the car became genera!. Chief Amour tried to subdue the trouble, and while in the act of stopping bin men was shot in the breust and killed. The battle raged for an hour or more, until the coolerheaded people of Gilberton prevailed upon the crowd to disperse, and the dead and injured were then looked after. The death list is : Itichar.l Amour, shot and (lied; Itichard Paifltt, aged twenty-live, single, shot and killed : William uugnes, agea nm-ueen, 01 QUhmou, aa onlooker, shot and killwl. I'our spectators were-also wounded. TO BE SOLD AS JUNK. Th? Final Destination of tlie l>ull(lings of the White City. The bomiiful white buildings of the World's Fair are to be sold as junk. They are soon to be advertised and knocked down to the highest bidder. About the only thin" of future U9e in them are the iron and steel arches and timbers. It is thought that not more than $1,000,000 can be realized froui the auction. The most expensive buildings will probably bring rhe loast money. The Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, which cost $1,000,000, and which has $500. 000 in arches alone, will, it is believed, be given to the man who will tear it down and carry the debris away. Tnp. cut In the great white pine territory ot the upper Mississippi Valley will thla year foil considerably short of lajrt year. THE LABOR WORLD. Indiana coal miners are busy. Michioan has a mining school. S r. Louis has a cab drivers' union, Wbstern railroads are cutting rates. Albany. N. Y., talks of a labor temple. Georgia truck gardeners have a union. At Ely, Minn., men get flfty-three cents day. Hcxoakv has suppressed the typographi cal union. At Lancaster, Penn., only citizens are em ployed on city work. The condition of the miners of Colorado i described as deplorable. Denveb (Col.) church women held a mee! inp to aid unemployed women. Nashvii.le (Tenn.) unions want non-unio; men to join in celebrating Labor Day. New Zealand's labor department pub lishes a paper which is distributed gratis. At Lowell, Mass., police are needed t drive from the mills men looking for work Chinese to the number of 40,000 are needei in the Northwest to clear heavily timberei land. Chicago seamen, fearing a cut to $1.5 a day, declare that $2 a day is their mini mum wages. Lowell (Mass.) butchers, bakers an< grocers say they will give credit as long a they can hold out. New York harness makers send fonr mei to funerals of members, provide a oarrlag and pay them $3 a day. A new Connecticut law insists on prope light in factories, the elimination of dust,ant provides for healthy ventilation. While so many men are out of work, th familiar complaint comes from the North west that the farmers cannot get, at gooi wages, all the hands they need to harves their crops. A onEAT many owners of small mines ii Ohio 3re no longer able to pay their men bi weekly, but the latter continue to work, be ing willing to wait for their wages until ad vances are made on the coal. Maiite papers relate that when Secretar of the Navy Herbert was at Bath on his re cent visit he sent specially for Foreman Will iam H. Melcher, who had been head joine on the gunboat Machlas, and complimentei him upon the work done under his supervi sion, saying that it was better tliaa that oi any other vessel of the i?avy.

B together are about half the size of a ty 9 writer. In-writing at the transmitter, an . dinary pencil is used, near the point of wh 1 two small cords aro fastened at right ang t to each other. These connect with the atrumepf, and, following the moveme of the pencil, regulate the current impul which guide the receiving-pen at the disti station. The paper is shifted forward bj ". little lever, giving an electric impu which movee in a like manner I paper in the receiver at the ot 7 end of the line. The receiving pen is a ca] lary glass tube supplied with ink and pla< at the junction of two aluminium arms. 'J r electrical impulses conducted ovorthewi i move the pen of the receiver slmnltaneou - and in the same directions as the pencil of1 i sender, and an ink tracing is left which Is exact reproduction in every dot and flour of the original writing or drawing. The hiblt is arranged like a central station, a any two subscribers might be placed in cc municatlon through it in the same way s they now aro upon the telephone; one wrl what he wishes and keeps or destroys w he has written, the other receives and reta a his communication in the handwriting of i h sender, and that is the complete yet a record of the transaction. Accuraoy ? secrecy are secured, the wires cannot f tapped or the message overheard, no ope h tor is necessary, and any kind of figures it t short-hand to Chinese characters may be s - with equal ease.

The Commercial Cablj Company's system is composed of two main cables from Cape Canso in Northeastern Nov* \ T. Scotia to Waterville on the southwest coa3t of Ireland. From the latter port the cable is la>d to Bristol, with aerial lines to the chief cities of England. Wales and Scotland, and another to Havre with an underground line [nc to Paris. At the American end a doublo . cove cable runs from Cape Canso to Rockj port, Mass., with aorial lines to Boston and nS j Now York, and a second cable running direct s? I from Canso to New York.

Many people suppose that ace cablegrams are received by means of Hashes Ju8 of lisrht.but it seems that that system is prachis tically abandoned. The meesages arereoorded nly on a paper ribbon with a fine glass siphon no es. thicker than a hair; the ribbon moves at the ter rate ot about forty inches per minute and the of siphon leaves an inky trail olear and legible oth to the operator, but to the ordinary spectape tor it resembles the outline of a mountain or- chain in which there are no two peaks alike, ich With these recorders a speed of 260 to 300 -leg letters per mlnuto may be maintained, in- Automatic senders are also used. The mesnts sage Is transcribed upon paper ribbon by ses moans of indentations, then the ribbon is run ant through the automatic sender; by this means r a light, speed and uniformity are attained, ilse Some of the instruments for detecting breaks the aQd injuries to the cable are extremely inher tereating. i*or example, a machine has been pil- devised for registering the amount of resisted tance the current meets with in passing [ he through the cable. This resistance is divided res into units called ohms, and the number ot sly ohms per nautical mile for any given cable the is readily deduced from the total rean sistance and total mileage. If the insulaish tion of the cable is torn off by dragging ex. anchors, contact with the bottom, or the like, lQd the current at that place ceases to have re,m sistance, and by dividing the resistance which as remains by the number of ohms per mile the Ites exact placo of injury is known. 8ome inhat stances of extraordinary speed in cabling are ins recorded. One case is mentioned in which the instructions were sent to London brokers, ole the business done, ana answer received, au tnd within six minutes. . In another case a mesbe sage was sent to London and an answer obira. tained in forty-five seconds. This, as may be om conjectured, is the fastest time on record, ent In all quarters of the Electricity Building >ne are new and astonishing uses to which the an suble fluid is put, sometimes when only the tnd slightest force is desired, at others when a fa- mighty and irresistible power is applied. j"'l liberal aut8 duildino. my There are splendid exhibits showing the ap? or plication of electricity to mining. fvch Leaving this building, ono watches the electia trie trains glide along tho intramural road, i in or the electric launches dart silent and smokeaed less about the beautiful lagoons; turning to- city-wards, he sees Chicago covered by the to lowering impenetrable pall of smoke belched for from myriad chimney*, and wondeoft when tho equivalent of light and heat will be geniud erated at tho big coal fields and waterfalls i by and sent broadcast throughout the laud: ins, when cleanliness and quiet shall prevail. ex rlth the paib's finances.
