vujk world'S FAIR LETTER.
World's Fair, Chicago.
Again I have something of interest for
your readers from the Midway Plaissnco.
I was strolling aimletsly along, after
' leaving tho streets of Cairo and Constant!1
nople, with a view to getting ba.'k inta
1 America. Entorlng the fictoty of the
1 Libby Glass Works I saw the wholo opc1
.ration of glass makiog. I saw vases,
bottles and other things shaped in imitation
of cut gloss. I then watched
1 tonic men who were cutting and polish1
ing glass. But what intcroetod me most
1 in this buildiog was tho ipinning and
vxaoinff of glau. A man would take a
piece of glass, held it in a flame until
iuteosly hot, draw a point out through
the flame, attach it to a revolving wheel
about six feet in diameter, and wind upon
the wheel a continuous fine thread of
glass. This glass thread seemed to be
almost as pliable as though it wore made
of flax. Adjoining were two young women
at a loom weaving fabric of this thread.
When completed this glass cloth has a
beautiful lustre like satin, and tho at
tendants assured me that it would stand
a good deal of hard usage before breikidg.
The Princess Eulalia, so I was
told, is to havo a dress made of glass
that was spun and woven in this factory.
In the French exhibit here are somo
wondorful watches. One of these is
claimed to bo tho smallest ono in the
world. It is set in a rosobud studded
with stones and a clasp at the polat of
the bud keeps it closed, and when
pressed, springs open, revealing this
miniature watch.
JAPANEflK VSOKTAALa PBDDLKBA.
Several novelties in watches for ordinary
use are also oxhtbited. One watch
is so constructed that every time the case
is opened to see what time It is, then
closed again, the spring is wound up.
This watch is a repeater, striking the
hour and the minutes. Another watch
has two faces, one on each side. One
face gives the second, the minute, and
the hour of the day, notes with a pointer
how nearly the watch is wound up, and
has two small faoee, so that the time of
different oities in the world can be
shown. Turning the watch over and
opening the rear case, there is found a
perpetual calendar, whloh gives the day
of the week, the day of the month, the
the month of the year, the phases of the
moon,and it also contains a thermometer.
The watches in this one case are estimated
to be valued at $400,000.
Watches are shown in the Swiss department
which display equal conning
in this line of manufacture. A ring
with a watch set in the crown Is set in a
circle of twenty-four diamonds, and,
like the watches referred to in the
French department, it is wound unbv
I turning the eatira watch upon Ma letting.
Other miniature watchsa are
I shown in this exhibit, which are mounted
ea butteiflies, beetles, and ducks.
The cgtton exhibit of Russia surpasses
that of all other foreign countries. It
is perhaps the moat interesting, as it
shows the product in every stage from
the pod to its conversion into the finest
cloths. The geede exhibited are meetly
heavy prists for winter wear. The? art

next as dyed and combed, and finely as {
they are printed. The Russian factories
which are engaged in the manufacture
of there geods support schools, churches,
libraries, hospitals, etc., for their
operatives, and also provide savings
banks fur them. Russia has introduced
her goods into Europe,-Asia and Afrioi,
and has a limited market in Central and
Bouth America. The exhibit of raw
stock, carded and spun cotton, and finished
product is perhaps one of the most
nrf*il iliinlmi avnr nod*
The women of Mississippi, who are
patriotically endeavoring to have their
State creditably represented at tho
World's Fair, have built a fortification
of cotton bales on the grounds,representing
Yicksburg during the siege. Ono
hundred bales of cotton were used in
building the fort, and on tho inside is
exhibited all the products of the great
taple. The women have ornaoieocd
their cotton fort with numbers of historic
cannon, flags and other relics of the
war.
This Looks Like Business.
Columbia, b. C.?Very few people
havo any idea what a big thing the new
Columbia Cottou Mill is to b?. It will
perhaps be six or eight months before
the mill begins operation, but some idea
of the capacity and extent of tho project
might be had from the present work.
To begiu with, it is located on the upper
side of tho Canal near tho Gcrvais street
bridge. It is an L shaped structure.
The front is 412 feet, the main building
is 104 feet wide. The wing nearest the
Canal is 120 feet long and that fronting
the east 130 feet, which is to be extended
to 387 feet. The main building is to be
Ave stories high, and the cast wing three
nt.d four stories on account of the slope.
In the ground. The company claim that
the mill whon completed will be the
largest in the State, and the largest
ducking mill in the world. Work was
started on the 10th of April,and tho building
i? now beginning to look like something.
It is tho intention of the own-.ri
of the valuable property to spend at
least $700,000, and in the purchase oi
machiuery quality will be the flrst consideration.
The machinery will be op
crated by motor power from the Columbia
Canal, and quite an innovation in the
shape of individual electric motors for
every piece of machinery will bo iptrodnced.
Heating and ventilating machinery
will be used, and everything will be
equipped with the very latest mechanism
that can be had. Ducking and drills
will be manufactured, and a specialty
will be made of the heavy canvas that
is used in sail making. The capacity oi
the mill will be the same as is expret scd
by about 45,000 cotton spindles.
It is said that the mill will give employment
to about 1,400 operatives,
which means that about 5,000 people
will be brought here by tho new mill.
It is the intention of the company to use
as much nativo labor as possible. At
the outset only a few experienced workrain
will be brought here, and they will
be expected to drill the native labor.
The company has started the construction
of 100 houses that are to be used by
tbe operatives. The new town is being
built in Lexington County, just across
the river.

Himself. 1
Therewas a bush near the opening in the 1
noming when Secretary Stern appeared 1
>n the balcony of the trading room and 1
sotiflcd all concerned that those having '
Irades with the well known provision
broker ago firms of Joseph E. Stevcr & 1
Do.; E. W. Baily & Co., and A. llclthotz '
fe Co. should proceed to clore them out. 1
rhe silence lasted for a second and then 1
a mighty roar went up from the pro- 1
vision pit. As oarly as lust march it 1
became apparent to the trade that mrss 1
pork was being bulled" through these
houses, and It soon became noitcd about
in the provision trade that A. M. Wright
was behind the deal a year before he '
started a corner in ribs, end with the
hilp of John C'udahy carried it through
to success, making a large amount of 1
inoDdy. Appa'ently, accordiug to the
general opinion of the board, he had 1
started to run a similar deal in moss
pork. The collapse has beeu looked for
some time, and as the monetary situation
became moro and more strained,
everybody not interested in meat drew
out, leaving tho market so dull that
there was scarcely enough businers to
establish quotations, and the bubble
burst.
Another and heavier shock came in
announcements l>y the sccrctaiy in quick
succession of iue failure of the North
American Provision Company, a packing
concern with a'capital of a quarter of
a million dollars in which Jack Ciiduhv
was largely interested; of Wright &
Haughey, a respeotablo firm, chiefly engaged
in receiving and shipping of
wheat, but who arc understood to bo
interested with Cudaby in his deul in tho
provision pit, and dually of Cudnhj himself,
the great packer and daring speculator
in provisions, whoso wealth was
recently estimated at no Kss than $18,000,000,
of which about $2,000,000 was
made in a deal in libs last fall.
The storm broke loose again after this
in the lard crowd. This commodity had
held extremely steady throughout tho
slump in pork, but it in turn mounted
the teboggan und went down as if sclflubricated.
The price for September
was $0.55 per tierce in the early buying.
It was $6 within six minutes after Cudahy's
failure was announcod, and September
short ribs, which wero sold at a
$74 range broke to $5,874. Before tlio
close, however, both rallied, the former
to $0,024; the latter to $0.30.
It is said Mr. Cudahy's private affairs
are eoparatc from h;s partner's matters,
and that the compunies he c&ntrols with
bis brothors, Mike and Pat, are not affected.

lnt?-Xortem Statement of Di. George
Koundebueh, of Canton Miu,
Canton, Misb.?Tho dying statement
if Dr. Roundebush is given below as
akon from the record:
I, George 9. Roundebush, Jr., make
his as my last statement: On Tuesday
light, the 27th day of July, 1808, about
2:30 o'clock a. m.,I was at the icsldonce
>f John R. Cameron, sitting In tho paror
with bis daughter, Miss Virgil Camron,
preparatory to retiring. About
en minutes before the shooting the oil
n the lamp became exhausted and the
amp was burning low, and there were
ithcr lights in the hall sufficient to light
ho room. Wc were sitting on the sofa.
Ve had not been together more thau ten
>r fifteen minutes after the rest had left,
[ suggested to Miss Virgie that sho had
jcttcr rotiro, that it was late and she had
not been well during the evening. I put
ny arm around her neck and carested
ur, aud aroso fiom tho sofa to leave her.
3he said Boinething about this tlmo.
There was a low scat or chair at the end
)f the eofa, into which I drapped on my
knees and throw my arms around her
rud kissed her several times. About this
time Miss Virgie said: "Oh I ray brother 1"
i?nd to him the said: "For God's sake
don't shoot!" Whoa he said, "I have
racght you; I will kill you both," I said
nothing hut started toward him; Miss
Virgie was trying to wrench the pistol
from him, when ho (Malcolm Cameron)
threw her violently abido and shot me.
1 ran out of the door, he followed mc
into the front yard, shooting at me as
ho ran. I rau back into the house,
through the front door, he shooting me
ugain from the back hall door, from
which I staggered and fell just inside
oi the aeor, auci BIr. Cameron camo to
the door and said, "Damn you, I have
killed you, and will go and kill tbc other
one." I lay in (his rcoui five or ten
minutes, when I found I could move. I
attempted to get on the back gallery,
where it was cooler, but fouud the door
locked, whereupon I lay on the lounge.
I stayed there until assistance came to
me. I was then taken back into the
room where I had fallen and laid upon
the bed, where 1 stayed until the buggy
was ready to briug mo to towD. Cameron
said that "you shall not die in my
house, and If you don't get out pretty
quick I will como in there anil kill you,
aud then you can be carried out without
pain or trouble." I was groaning at tho
time he said this. I was driven to town
by one of bis negro tenants to the h >me
of Dr. C. S. Priestly, where I received
all the attention tlq>t could be asked.
God knows I am innocent of any evil
intentions or actions as any man living.
I make this statement realizlug fully my
condition. G. S. Roundbbush.
