The Baron's rather, seeing •the portion by whom his son was ae- eompt pied and toe drunken con- dition of .the', Mair, refused to ad- mit them to his. house, They returned to the Baron's apart- ments in the Rue Jacob,and there all of a sudden the Baron appear- ed to be seized with madness. With the assistance of his frail companion he proceeded to pile the furniture of his room against the door so as to effectually bar) e'•tde it. Then be removed h ! i de from its usual place, an l,avieg loaded it took his seat the window, while Mme Mik stood by his side with a box cartridges. De Plinval immz d ately began to fire at all the pe ple who wore passing in the etre below, while the lady handed hi the cartridges as fast as he em tied his gun. De Plinval sen bot shots in rapid succession, an as his condition did not perm him to take definite aim he di not hit anybody. .At 10:30, bow ever, Me Cachicazze. who live in another apartment in th demo house, was the first victi as she received a shot in th breast. The news of what wa going on had spread and there wa an immense crowd in the stree Several mon, bolder than th others, tried to stop the fusilad by entering and making an en deavor to force the doors bu their tremendous strength, aide by the l:arricade, rendered tha it ipossible. The porter headed +all crowd which went off to th . >iice department to get assis t.:.ce. While they were awn Baron De Plinval conceived th idea of attacking the crowd and creating a sensation in another way. He therefore be- gan to throw the contents of his apartment into the court yard below. Chair succeedt;d hair, and other pieces of furniture fol- lowed, while heavier ornaments with which aim could not be taken was hurled at the heads of the crowd below. The, excitement now was at fever heat, but pres- ently the commissaire of the district, accompanied by a num- ber of policemen arrived. Two policemen endeavored to enter the building but at that fnoment De Plinval was seen tit the win- dow armed with his rifle,the crack of which was heard as the two leen full to the ground shot by the mad man. Almost simultaneous- ly with his appearance at the window the astonished crowd noticed a bright light in the apart,.ment. The draperyhad been fired by him. In a few minutes the whole. place was in a blaze. Thift„rcreated a new diversion and a hasty summons was sent to the fire department which soon arrived. The first fireman who made an effort to direct a stream of water on the burning building ' met the fate which had been meted out to the two officers of the law, for De Plinval took deliberate aim and shot him. Then he commenced a final fulisade from the window, bottles and glasses wereffired with all the fdree of which he was cap- able, and they were interspersed with bu)lets. Suddenly ' the noised ceased and on this the police took courage to storm the apartment, which during all this time had continved to burn. They started up stairs to cut open the doors when suddenly most heartrending shrieks were heard from the court yard. Bar- on De Plinval and Mme Milka had precipitated themselves from the window. A rush was at once made for them and the Baron was picked up in an unconscious con- dition. In his band be clutched the rifle which had done such deadly execution and in the other band was a sword cane. No hope is held out for the recovery of either DePlinval or bis dompan- ion. They were both taken to the hospital. DRILLLING, via nus.. 119W A WELL 15 £ .i,1~!„EO THOUSANDS. OFFSET iNiDEPTH.' The Mogul, Oper•sluli In flaring for Olt and 6ae--T*)e Derrick -The Drill Bit -Tits Fa Band Pomp --Tho ze of the Hots Made By the Driller. When a gas'or oil weU is located the first step is to build over it a derrick, which is a frame from 00 to 90 feet high, built of 2x8 timber in the form of a square pyramid. In this is erected a "walking beam," or hori- zontal rocking shaft, pivoted in the middle i 6 feet long, one end of which is connected to the crank shaft of the engine, to the other is euspended the "drill" or boring toot The drill "bit" combats of a steel chisel blade, obtuse but sharp, about 8 inches wide, with a shaft about 0 inches in diameter, about 6 feet long, weighing about 250 lbs. The lower or cutting part is of steel, the shaft is of iron. The "stem" is an iron rod of the same size as the shaft of the bit, into whioh it is screwed, and is 'ea feet long and 'I- weighs over 2,000 pounds. In the upper end 18 of the stem is a ring by which the whole is d suspended by a 21a inch manilla rope. The at drill is raised about three feet fora stroke, the weight being about 2,300 lbs., and let a fall on the rocks beneath. The number of Of strikes average about 45 per minute. j- The bole is 8 inches in diameter at the start and the drill chops he way down as far am possible -sometimes from 100 to 200 feet; when water or Band prevents further pro- gress by caving, it is necessary to case the hole with sections or won tubing, having an inside diameter of 5% inches, which are screw- ed together and driven down to the bottom of the hole. Then a smaller drill, fitting the inside of the casing, is again set to work es long as possible. When again obliged to stop, the casing is withdrawn and a "reamer" or widening tool le put down and the lower por- tion of the whole is enlarged to 8 inches. Then the casing is again put down to the bottom. In this way the work progresses un- til the desired depth is reached. The drill is made with horizontal notehee throughout the entire length, as it often hap- pens that the bit or stem breaks while in the bole. In such cases a "grab hook" is slipped over the end of the broken piece, and in thio way recovered. The "sand pump," which is used to clean the sand and pulverized rock from the hole, is supply a tube 20 feet long and 5 inches in diameter, the valve being an iron or copper ball 43-einches in diameter. This tube is let down and when filled is drawn out. The sand pump is used abput every five feet, and a sample of the rock cut is put into bottles, numbered and tabled with number of feet alld character of rock. -S. A.

In an informal talk on "Social Life in Washington," ex -Postmaster General Dick- inson paid a graceful tribute to his former Cabinet associate, Thomas F. Bayard. He said: The typical American gentleman, as drawn from life, is a familiar figure et your capital. He may come of a long and distinguished lineage, but be does not vaunt it. He is a democrat in the broad sense; believes in his country and her future; is proud of her pro- gress and feels a responsibility as a unit of the sovereign people, with a public duty to do as such. He is a man of wide learning and infor- mation, and bis reflective mind makes con- stant use of its treasures of knowledge; they are not permitted to nold'or to rust. A Haan of the world, and a student of man- kind, his charity for the foibles and sins of humanity ie broad and hie judgments gentle. Never arrogant, censorious or intolerant in discussion, be wins an opponent by respecting his opinions, while differing from him, anti sends him away in a spirit of reflection rather than of controversy. To borrow his own apothegm, he .never "mistakes rudeness for courage, or violence for strength." He clothes his ideas in garments of apt expression, felicitious, beautiful, and always Anglo-Saxon. There is nothing of the ped- ant about him. His diction is pure like his heart, and is unmarred by profanity or slang. He is deferential to all women. An unconscious dignity freezes imperti- nence, and closes the mouth of vulgarity, while his gentle manners and winning coun- tenance give confidence to the embarrassed and loosen the tongue of the modest or the timid. He cares nothing for mere rank in hie intercourse with manly men -with true American manhood -and you feel at once, as he grasps your handmaid greets you, that with The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gold for a' that. To enter his home, to partake of his hoepi- tality in the place where he lives, ie ,a prlvi• lege and delight. At the bead of his table his genial grace, "the mind, the music breaks ing from his face" warm and move dile hurt of every guest, whip thus influenced, lencpnr- scionsly becomes not merely an observer and a listener, but a contributor to the corns mon enjoyment of all. This man, by healthful exercise, keeps his body sound as the repository of his sound mind. His physique is athletic and vigor - Cala Ascholar, a statesmau, an American gen- tleman, this figure is not merely an ideal one, and I personify the type, with which my description must but poorly impress your minds, when I name Thomas F. Bayard. t Stop :Notion for Carding Engines. Au ingenious atop motion for carding en gins is a recent invention. The shaft of the upper calender roller is in tufa arrangement beyond its bearing tor a short distance, and a worm affixed to the end and gearing tato a worm wheel mounted on a stud attachedto a bracket on the framing, the wheel also having affixed to its face a pin which engages with a lever, the latter in ,turn acting upon one end of another lever. The other end of this last named lever is bent in such a manner as to pass under a catch pivoted to one side of the dotter lever, the latter being euppor•ted,,riu working position by the catch. When the silver is passing through the calendar robs at the proper thickness, the worm on the upper calender abaft is held out of oontacre with the worm wheel. On the other hand, when it becomes too thin or is entirely absent, the worm fulls into gear and rotates the worm wheel, thus moving the levers about their centres, releasing the cateh at. Inched to the loiter lever and stopping the engine. , A OMer eaeo. • "She never, iiaid she'd Marryou, I caulsee wheee the breach tot Proeiisiecenser' ih."
