,,cob, Baron De 'Plinval, who,
thpugh QniY 2* years of age, has
aoillured a rep/station as a high
roller, after dining with Mme
Mika, Who keeps a counter at the
Uoiversal'Bxhbition, went home.
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

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

by the l:arricade, rendered tha

. >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.

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

John Mooney, a farmer of
South Plantagenet, came near los-
ing his life on Thursday, and as
it is, it is in jeopardy. He was
crossing a pasture on his farm,
„vben he was chased by a young
bull, which broke its tether. The
unfortunate man was overtaken
before be could reach the next
field, and knocked down by the
infuriated beast and gored sever-
ly in the side, two of his ribs be-
ing badly fractured before assist-
tance could arrive. This, finally
came, two men working on the
farm being attracted by Mboney'e
shouts. The bull wag secured
with a lasso.

THOMAS F. BAYARD.
A Graceful Tribute Which Mages IIim the
Typical American Gentleman.
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. ,
