of Two Passenger Trains A little after half-past 1 to-day the iron roof of the brick tunnel west of tlie Metacomet Mill fell ith a loud crash An eye witness who heard the terrific cracking and rending of iron girders and roofing said he thought at first that the Metacomet Mill had gone to smash The Boston and Providence trains had just passed under the arch and their locomotives were on the way to the round house Engine No 88 had passed through and wras about a dozen yards from the roof of the structure while engine 15 was on the point of entering w'hen the catastrophe occurred There was very little warning The roof sank gradually at first but having fairly started the whole mass of iron beams rafters sheeting and an avalanche of snow came down like the crack of doom The wreight of the snow is believed to have caused the disaster Some portion of the brick ork on which the girders rested has given way and that probably originated the mischief A force of about thirty men was immediately set at work to clear the track The w'reck immediately after the accident presented a strikingly realistic picture of chaos The task of removing the debris will oc-c ipy the remainder of the afternoon That no one was in the tunnel at the time of the accident that the trains narrowly escaped and the locomotives barely saved themselves may be regarded as a rare and remarkable piece of good fortune nothing less than providential The general opinion is that the falling mass w'ould have shattered a train and caused serious loss of life No Slackening of Effort- Whatever the result the campaign for no license in this city they ought not to slacken their efforts after the election There is plenty of good work for them to do It is not enough to have a spasm of temperance sentiment for a few eeks every year but a determined and persistent effort should be made to keep the temperance work alive from January 1 to December 31 every year Springfield Union MARKET QUOTATIONS Repoited by

Ilaii-! Cotton Cotton has developed an improved busi-ness also higher and stronger markets both at home ana abroad As remarked yesterday sentiment lias given way to facts and though some reaction may succeed there is no probability that the low range of prices departed from will be touched again for some time Half the receipts at the ports last year were recorded December 4 and then for a crop of 6575000 hales but as on December 4 or last Saturday the port th receipts were about 90000 hales more til an last year for a crop even larger than the last more than one half of the probable re-ceijjts had been received Therefore mathematically considered more than one-half of the crop has come in siht With the spindles of the world running to their utmost and largely on orders for the next three or four months it is clear that cotton will be wanted and to secure it higher prices will be paid To buy the market up and the supply down is the important move and where it ill begin is the conundrum to be answered The various markets are reported as follows New York steady at y8 advance or 9 7-1 6c sales 258 bales Galveston firm at advance or 8 13-16c sales 3183 bales New Orleans strong at 8 13-16c

that they are now engaged in formulating a plan of arbitration looking to the abandonment of strikers lockouts etc in the future which plan is not yet in a sufficiently perfect shape to place before the Said an oflicer of the committee There will doubtless be further conferences over this matter of correspondence As soon as the matter is in proper shape the details will be furnished to the Both

Philadelphia Press The strike at the Eddystone Print Works Chester Pa is practically at an end and the works are once more in active operation Eighty employes who did not join the strike have held a meeting and adopted a set of resolutions They explain that the strike was secretly organized by the Knights of Labor and a pretext was made to try and justify the proceedings Tlie resolutions adopted ere Whereas Various conflicting statements having been made in tefeience to the recent stnke at the Eddvstone Print1 Work5! at Eddy-stone county Pa ve the undersigned employes of the said works deem it a duty we owe to ourselves and to our employers to make public announcement of our firm purpose and belief that no cause whatever existed for said strike to which end it is Jiesolved That we possess the highest regard for those in authority over us and declare ourselves perfectly satisfied with the manner in which we are treated by manager and foieman also Jiesolved That we stamp with the seal of our indignation all attempt that have been made to belittle and belie our employers and express our lull confidence in and respect for them Everything is quiet at the mills of the Moss Manufacturing Company at Westerly I while there ace many people out of work One would hardly" suspect that a strike in the busy little town existed for the whole matter is discussed quietly Many of the striking operatives have sought and obtained other employment while others are receiving a daily benefit from labor organizations in many cases an amount it is said in excess of their wages when working- MANUFACTURING ITEMS To Consolidate Interests At the next of the Maine Legislature the Directors of the Pepperell Manufacturing Company will petition for authority to increase its capital stock from $1200-000 to $2550000 to change the par value of its stock and to acquire the property pf tlie Laconia Company The Directors of the Laeonia Company will petition for authority to dispose of its property to the Pepperell Manufacturing Company The consolidation which has been a subject of much interest may therefore be regarded as settled The union will directly affect Biddeford and Saco

Opinion on Ammonia and Bread Risers Generally The Albany Journal some time since published an interesting report upon the subject of baking powders in which it gave the results of some tests of an elaborate character made for the purpose of determining the question of which is the best and wholesomest of these articles The analyses and tests required were undertaken by Professors Tucker of the Albany Medical College and Mason of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy chemists of the highest standing ana reputation well known for their extended and valuable services as public analysts Messrs Tucker and Mason he Journal stated had been to procure from dealers in Albany and Troy packages of baking powder to analyze ana critically examine them and to make their reports of facts found entirely without bias or favor The report proved a matter of interest and importance and was widely copied and com mented upon From the facts pi esented housekeepers had no difficulty in determining for themselves the best and most wholesome baking powder to use The Journal its facts having been questioned by a local baking powder manufacturer returns to the subject and publishes the following interesting interview with Prof Tucker The facts before stated are reaffirmed and emphasized in the most breezy manner: A Journal repoiter recently visited Prof Tucker foi the pui pose of gaining further in- th formation in lelarence to the baking powder question He was found in the extensive labor atory of the Medical College hard at work but Dd- good-naturedly submisted to an inquisitorial interview the substance of which heie given will be found of interest said the reporter appeal's that one of our local baking powder manufacturers attempts to discredit the report some time ago published in the Jmmal with refeienceto baking powdeis for which the analytical exam inations were made by joursclf and Professor Mason Were your analysis and opinion punted replied Prof Tucker Is there any part of the report or of your views expressed therein that ou would a woid My examination was most carefully and accuiately made the deductions I drew from the tests were the inevitable ones and the opinions I expressed were unqxiestion-ably say Doctor that the Royal baking powder is superior to any other baaing powder which you have examined? is my Have you Examined many other baking powders? Quite a number" Doctor consists this superiority which you find in the Royal over other As stated in my repoi in the great purity of its ingredients in the unquestioned property and wholesomenes of those ingredients in the exact proportions of the same and the chemical accuracy and skill uith which they have been combined As I said before it is I believe a baking powder for purity strength and wliolesomenessJ the lady readers would like you to inform them what aie the peculiar i pe virtues of a good baking powder over other and di more old-laslnoned methods of laising bread bisout and would require a long answer something in the natuie of a lectuie Briefly however the advantage of such a baking powder over yeast consists in the quicker work it accomplishes in the preservation of some of the best elements of the flour which are destroyed in the production of the carbonic acid gas by the use of yeast and in the absolute certainty of sweet light and digestible food Overother methods for quick raising the merits of a pure baking powder are great It is always ready for ue the acid and alkali are combined in exact proportions to produce definite results or to lender the largest amount of leavening gas and leave nothing more than a neutial residuum which is not the result where cream of tartar and soda are bought separately and mixed in the kitchen for it will always occur where this is done that one or the other of these substances will predominate making the food yellow heavy bitter and unwholesome Besides the cream of tartar which can be procured by the housekeeper is mostly adulterated adding to the uncertainty of the results or the unwholesomeness of the food All these difficulties are avoided in the use of a pure properly-made bak ing powder iVill baking powders keep? How long will tliev hold then properly made until used A peifect baking powder must combine superlative strength with power to retain it indefinitely Baking powders generally are robbed of the necessary preserving agent in order to give present strength or else have their efficiency largely destroyed by the addition of large quantities of flour to prevent premature decomposition The method bv which both these qualities are retained in the highest degiee produces the perfect article and this I believe is fully accomplished in the Royal baking powder I La seen an analysis of a baking powder which showed 21 per cent of Rochelle salts The baking powder was not fresh and because of the improper manner in which it had been made the ingredients had combined forming the purgative salt I give this as an illustration of those baking powders whose keeping qualities are sacrificed to present strength How to get both strength and keeping quality is the secret of baking powder Doctor what about ammonia in baking Sesqui-carbonate of ammonia is sometimes A At a used in the hieher class of baking powders no Is it In jurious or ob ject ionable Quite the contrary It has been used for generations in the finest food It is a very volatile agent Heat entirely evolves it into gas leaving no residuum were it used in sufficient quantity to do the entire work of aeration I am inclined to believe it would be the acme of leavening agents Some of the highest authorities as Hassall recommend its exclusive use for Mils purpose in preference to yeast or other kinds of leaven It is universally admitted to be a wholesale and valuable agent and no chemist of reputation will class it otherwise I have became indignant when I have read the silly charges that have frequently been made through ignorance or otherwise against Then those manufacturers who advertise that their powder does not contain Confess that their powder lacks a most useful wholesome and excellent But they say its origin is Its origin and method of preparation are no more filthy than are the origin and preparation of bread All this talk about ammonia in baking powder and its filthy origin is the veriest rubbish A man disgraces himself when he lends himself to any such statements It is particularly unfair for baking powder manufacturers to seek to pervert the truth or prepidice the ignorant or unwary bv statements that it is either harmful or undirty Ammonia exists in the very air we breathe and is largely present in nature as a wholesome POINTS FROM A BARBER The Difference Between American and Germau Barberlng by Contract A fashionable up town barber of German extraction ventured with the usual timidity of members of his profession to gn a reporter some facts about the face and the way Bom people desire to be shaved He said: Germany we can shave more rapidly than in America The Germans have longer and rounder faces which permit long swipes with the razor Their beard too is not so stiff as the In the United States small nd angular faces prevail so the razor cannot travel any great length without coming to a turning point Hence the razor is limited as to its surface capacity as far as one stroke goes A number of small and indefinite swipes are made with the grain It is difficult to shave the average American against the grain Jlis beard is too hard for such a task and his flesh too tender Once in two years perhaps a man may request a grain shave There is no need of a request though for I can tell a man who is in the habit of shaving against the grain His beard sticks out from his face About twice a year an American atsonishes me by asking me to shave him with long strokes Now I don't like the long strokes for they are liable to cut the face pf the nnisappes in the barber business is the customer who rushes in and swears he has only two minutes to spare to get shayed I hurry up as rapidly ns possible and in my anxiety 1 manage to cut him in several spots The would-be hurrying man who has worked me like lire then coolly stops and chats half au hour with another customer It is dangerous to be shaved in a hurry The barbel is gqmgwhat excited by the order to shave quickly and is always wondering while at work if he is fast enough have monthly customers I make on some and lose on others For $250 1 barber a customer one month that is give him a' shave every day if he want's it and one hair cut during the month Remember bay pomade hair oil vaseline pridian tjue and powder are in- finmaiHiuy tuiu jwivuci arc eluded Well if he took fen cent shave he get' bay rum but he saves all these extras by the wholesale contract If he shaved every day at a dime it would only be about $3 per month not counting a hair cut The reduction then amounts to 75 cents a month Now very few men shave every day in a barber shep and there is where the profit comes for monthly contracts Frequently though have a customer who gets the worth of his $350 He comes once a day regular (before he only came three times a week) and wants a three davi' uqder the skiq shave I have to dally pver his face the same as if ho were paying cents a shave lie is more exacting than ever wants more hay rum and appears very much afraid he will not get his worth Now that kind of a customer takes op time which is more expensive than hay rum He happens too to always be in at the proper moment to keep good customers waiting The daisy monthly customers drop'lif thpee-oj four tinieg a week says nothing abonf regretting he cannot come every day and requires no extra attention Yet if he wanted to he could make a contract for three or four shaves a wSClf find a hair cut for the sum of $150 per monti Still be Is npt heated cheated top if he comes once a dpy on the $250 contract it is ail

Colin Campbell hut not to resume the relation of wife This state of affairs however was of as brief duration as it was unsatisfactory and persistence in continuing his attentions and relations to Mrs Church soon enabled the patriarchal husband to obtain an absolute divorce Then Lithgow married the discarded hut handsome wife As soon as that was accomplished Church brought an action against him for

intimate friend of Governor Hill to whom Senator Cockrell of Missouri related the incident that during the Benton controversy Mr Cockrell as well as his pugnacious little colleague Senator Vest had occasion to call often on President Cleveland The conversation naturally ran along the line of political discussion with reference to 1888 Mr Cleveland was warned of the danger of alienating his party friends in New York State His response as that lie had become possessed of the idea that he can carry the country without New York State He had just returned from the Harvard Commencement and declared

ventured into the field of prophecy It is a long he says since my occupation gave me anything to do witli political observation and political writing The old habit tries to assert itself occasionally however Just now I feel like making this prediction The labor movement encouraged by its remaik-ablo success in casting 67000 votes for Henry George in New York city will appear in the field in 1888 as a national party organization and will poll a large vote in the cities The Democrats be tempted to coalesce with the Labor party but will finally make up their minds that there going to be much of a shower and ill renominate Cleveland Blaine will again be the candidate of the Republicans The Prohibitionists are on the decline and ill not make much of a flurry At least four-fifths of the Labor party vote wrill be drawn from the Democratic ranks This will give the State of New York to the Republicans and elect Blaine The questions in Congress and the State Legislatures for many years to come however will be those raised by the Labor reformers hose political organization will grow to formidable dimensions before another President is Stock Fluctuations Mining shares oil and wheat have had a
