The steam chest was wreck-' ed, a largo hole was made in the roof of the engine and the surrounding machinery and fixtures wore badly disarranged. No one was in the room when 4ho explosion occurred. If the engineer ( and llie force putting in a new en- i gine had been present it is sure p there would have been one or more futulities. The explosion was .

The steam chest was !, completely ruined, a section of! casting weighing several hundred pounds boing blown off and i through the roof, which is a high one. The chest will have to f>e piactically rebuilt, and the damage will foot up into the the thousands. DAliTjO li> rj A VT LAND. K Ion William C Lovering's Demon- j strution of Three Cotton Hales Unrolling Automatically. |{ | w (Ilonfon Transcript.) Hon William C Lovering haa eturned from Europe where he i ^ ias been looking after the interest* i f the American Cotton Company. ^ ie found the spinners of England I nd the Continent using the Round* j ap Bale with the greatest satin j Ka action. They are keenly alive to | lithe money saving advantages if the new system. The ease with i M chieh tho bale is handled in tran H it and at the mill delights them. 01 The low cost of freight and in q ursine, the immunity from tire n the mill and the fact that there re no hoops, wires or metal of * ny kind used in baling are 1" eatureti that especially appeal to nc ho thrif'v European spinners. in Mr Lovering had the oppor- ra unity to address a meeting ?''hi imminent cotton manufacturers I >f Lancashire on tho mnits of the ; P' ioundlap Bale, and by the court? i ki ly of Messrs Howard and Bui-'m ough, of Acerington, they were ,j( nvitcd to witness a demonstration j >f the running of three bales of :otton directly on the apron of a w icutcher. Nothing could have Rl >een more perfect or absolutely ; n lutisfactory than the working of jr he cotton in this way. The ^ icutcher was started with three ales upon the apron and ran off it once without a hitch or inter- a option. The noise made by the H eaters was a steady doep and tl otolithful hum, showing that the n machine was doing its work with- g mit laboring in the least. The lap that was made was clean and svon running, weighing sixteen lunccs to the yard. h The spinners took the greatest 0 interest in the demonstration ami with one accord expressed their complete satisfaction with the operation. Thoy said that they saw in the new system a great H revolution in cotton manufacturing. I'hey are all anxious to buy ; ^ the new hale, and are ready to ^ jive orders at once. They are surprised and gratified to sue that the scutcher was an i ordinary scutcher, siuh as they o were using in all their mills. They Q had been led to think that it repiired special machinery for the purpose whereas it only required i little heavier apron to carry the H hales or laps, weighing two hun*|e Ired and sixty pounds each. w i o HIijah Joyner Convicted. n i Raleigh, N.

Will you please 1 low me, through the medium of >ur paper, to give to the reading lhlic some of my views on tobacusing i Your correspondent r ,h been for sometime deeply im- 8 essed by the silence ol the press d *he pulpit on the evils of the ^ bacco habit. However, this is t univorsally so: for in some rts of our country the press 8 d the pulpit, the two greatest n julders of sentiment, are con * mning the using of tobacco in H under tones. Many States and i ^ rritories have passed stringent 1 pvs forbidding the furnishing of j r bacco in any form to minors ider certain ages. Also most of j P e States and territories have ir wh requiring instruction to t>? I ..II :i- It ?otj nr mi juijlllt" ill llltj pUOIlC | hools on the nature and effects 11 tobacco, as well as alcohol. 1 our humble scribe is of the j * union that were this instruction i1 ithfullv given that it would tell c rgolv on the next generation by ie decrease in tobacco users and ! ' I ( hiskey drinkers; but he <loes i it believe that a tobacco user ; * ill avail anything for good, by ving instruction to children on * ie injurious effects of tobacco, either w;ll a whiskey drinker sson the evils of strong drink, n the other hand a person teaches ! ^ hat he is. If ho is dishonest he j1 inches dishonesty; if he is a liar 1 s teaches Iieing; if he is a drunk- ' :d he teaches drunkenness, and 1 he is a tobacco user he is teach ] ig those over whom he has an 1 iflueuce the vile tobacco habit. 1 here is nothing more true than, ' Actions speak louder than ords." If the world is to be 1 iken for God, preachers must 1 ructiee what they preach. And 1 the next generation is to be illy educated, teachers must 1 notice what they pretend to 1 sach. Perhaps some one is ready to sk, 'what is there about the to- ' neco habit to make it such a irious matter f' Allow me to nswer by the authority of the lost eminent medical men of our inntry, together with the state icnts of public men of wide bservation, that tobacco seriously ffeets the nervous system, iin ! airs the mental powers, creates craving for strong drink, lowers ie moral tone, and lowers scholar [lip, besides being expensive, 'hesiologists tell us that tobacco hecks the development of the ruin, and unable* it at all times > do its beat work. Kminent ducators, professors and presi- ( ents of our higher institutions of earning say that of t'leir pupils, fho make the best scholars eventy live per cent, do not use j obacco ; while eighty tivo per] ent. of their poorest scholars1 fte it in some form o?* another, i 'hoy toll us that pupils addicted o this habit are not only stunted a mind, but that boys who be- I ;in its use at an early age i.ever ] rrive at normal bodily development. W e are told by the highest an-; hority that tobacco creates a hirst to remove which alcoholic Irinks is often resorted, to. It is laimed that ninety-live peV cent, if the drunkards were introduced o alcohol by the tobacco habit. Chaa. H Stowed, M D, author ?f our text book on anatomy, f physiology and hygiene Hums up he effects of tobacco on the body md the mind as follows: "Tobae:o costs the body its best develop nont and its porefect health; tlio nind its highest development and ts most brilliant achievements." The authorities of our naval and nilitary schools, desiring that our oldiers and sailors should possess high degree of both mental and ihysieal development, prohibit the so of tobacco in these institutions. L great many of our normal chools and colleges will not adlit pupils who use tobacco. The heological schools of most, if not II, denominations take this round A promient railroad man has ecently thrown down the gage of attle to the cigarette. Ho is a ;eneral freight agent on a largo Ullr/\Ail on/1 ? oil! vwi, nun cuij/i'iyn lllltuy JOllIlf^ nen asclorfcs. He has announced hat in the future he will not em>loy any young men who are ad lieted to the cigarette habit, und urther than this, he expresses his ntention of getting nd of all igaretto tiends now working in lis department. He gives the oliowing reasons for his decision. 'Among the 200 in my service, hirtv two are cigareite tiends. eighty five per cent, of the misakes oceu?ing in the office are raoeahlc to these thirty-two unokers. They fall behind with ho:r work, and when transferred lo other desks, wbich men who do not smoke handle easily, get along just as badly, showing that it is not the amount of work but the inability or indolence of the per former. The natural conclusion is that the thirty-two young men ire holding positions deserved by bettor men.'' From these indications 1 feel safe in venturing the prediction that our coming preachers and teachers will not be 'tobacco worms;' but that in the near future intelligent christians will say to the would-be preachers who use tobacco, "Show your fitness for this sacred calling, sir, by abstaining from the dirty tobacco habit. Then we will listen to your exhortations to others to ipiit their sinful habits; and school boards and patrons will say to the would be teachers who indulge in the weed.' "Prove your qualifications for the high and responsible work of training the children of our fair land by leading off that vile tobacco habit. Then we will consider \our application.
