oi One illnn-'On Cross-Linminn-tlon
Admits Having lleeu in the
I'cnileiiiinryJury Uxninines the
Wounds on (.nsperick's llend.
Wilkes-Barrc, Feb. 17. The trial of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies for the
shooting of the miners at Lattlmer
was resumed this morning with the
examination of a number of the strik
ers. John Pupka testified to hearing
one of the deputies at West Hazleton
say: "You had better get oft the road.
You may get hurt. We are going to
shoot. That's the sheriff's orders."
Angelo Matz told the jury he saw
seven or eight men fall at Lattlmer.
One wounded man tried to get on his
feet, when a deputy ran over and shot
him several times in the back, killing
him. Matz, on cross-examination, ad
mitted that he had been sent to the
penitentiary for attempting to kill
three men, but said he was Innocent.
Andrew Yeamot and John Dally tes
tified that they were shot while run
ning away.
Anthony Kizelvlcz, the next witness,
told nothing new In his examination In
chief, but In the cross-examination ad
mitted that he picked up a stone at
West Hazleton.
The next witness, George Gasperlck,
had to be carried Into court on a big
chair by four men. He Is still suffer
ing from a horrible wound received at
Lattlmer. Ills arms and legs are para
lyzed, he cannot feed himself nor dress
himself, and Is entirely helpless. The
bullet, which entered his head, just
over the right ear, is still embedded
there and, as he says, he cannot see
well and all the time feels a rattling
In his head. He said that at Lattlmer
he was about twenty-five feet from
the head of the line; he did not hear
what the sheriff said; he saw him go
back toward the deputies and the
shooting commenced at once. "I statt
ed to run and had gone but a few steps
when I tecelved a bullet in my head."
The jury men examined the wound In
Gasperlck's head very carefully.
Another badly wounded witness was
John Slebodnlk, who still has a bullet
In his head. He was In a Philadelphia
hospital, wheie the bullet wan located
by an X-ray machine, but the surgeons
would not remove It, saying the opera
tion would be fatal. He was shot while
close to the railroad
John Kullck said he was shot In the
left side, nnd that as he was lying un
conscious In the road he was robbed
by some one.
Anthony Andelo tsald the strikers
asked him to join them nnd he went to
Lattlmer. He was shot In the wrist
and threw himself to the ground. On
cross-examination he said he was not
forced to Join the strikers, but he ad
mitted that if he swore at the corner's
inquest that he waB afraid of thorn
and that It must have been true. Court
adjourned as soon as he left the stand.
THINGS ABOUT A WATCH.
From the Jeweller's Review.
Open your natch and look at the little
v, heels, springs and screws, each an in
dispensable part of tho whole wonderful
machine. Notlco the busy little balance
wheel as It Hies to and fro unceasingly
day and night, year In and year out.
This wonderful machine Is tho result of
hundreds of years of study and experi
ment. The watch can led by the average man
Is composed of ninety-eight pieces, and
its manufacture embruces more than 2,
000 distinct and separate operations.
Some of tho smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eyo cannot dis
tinguish them from hteel filings or speckb
of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass, a perfect screw Is revealed. Tho
silt in the head is 2-100 of an Inch wine.
It takes 30.4,000 of these sciews to welsh
a pound, and a pound Is wot th J1.5S3. The
hairspring Is a strip of tho finest steel,
about 91,2 Inches long, 1-100 of an Inch
wide, and 27-70,000 of an Inch thick. It is
colled up in spiral form and finely tem
pered. The process of tempering these
springs was long held a secret by the
few fortunate ones pos.seshlng It, and
even now is not generally known. Their
manufactuio requires great skill and
care. Tho strip Is gauged to 20-100 of an
Inch, but no measuring Instrument has
as yet been devised capable of tlno
enough gauging to determine beforehand
by the size of the strip what the strength
of the finished spring will be. A 20-10,-000th
part of an Inch difference In the
thickness of tho stilp makes a difference
In tho running of u watch of about six
minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished und placed In watches Is enormous
In proportion to the material from which
they are made. A ton of steel made up
Into hairsprings when in watches Is
vorth more than twelve and one-half
times the value of the same In pure
gold. Hairspring wire weighs one-twentieth
of a grain to tho Inch. Ono mile, of
wlro weighs less than half a pound. The
balance gives five vibrations every sec
ond, 300 every minute, 18,000 every hour,
432,000 every day. and 157.C8O.0O0 every ear.
At each vibration it rotates about one
und one-fourth times, which makes 197,
100,000 revolutions every year. Take, for
Illustration, a locomotive, with six-foot
driving wheels. Let Its wheels be run
until they have given tho same number
of revolutions that a watch does In ono
year, and they will have covered n dis
tance equal to twenty-eight completo
circuits of the earth. All this a watch
does without other attention than wind
ing once every twenty-four hours.
An Illegible Letter.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Sir. Thomas Bailey Aldrlch once receiv
ed a letter from his friend, Prof. E. S.
Morse, and, finding the handwriting ab
solutely illegible, ho sent the following
reply; "My Dear Mr. Morso: It was
very pleasant to receive a letter from
you tho other day. Perhaps I should
havo found It pleasanter If I had been
ablo to decipher It. 1 don't think 1 mus
tered anything beyond the date, which
1 knew, and the signature, which I
guessed at. Thcro is a singular and per
petual charm In a letter of yours it nev
er grows old. It never loses Its novelty.
Ono can say to one's self uvery morning:
'Hero's u letter of Morso's; I haven't
read It yet; I thing I shall take another
shy at It today, and maybe I'll be able,
In the course of u few years to make out
what he means by those) t's that look
like w's and those l's that haven't any
eyebrows.' Other letters are read and
thrown away and forgotten, but yours
nre kept forever unread. One of thorn
last a reasonable man a lifetime Admir
ingly yours, Thomas Balloy Alnch."

THE MARKETS.
Wnll .Street Itcvlrw.
New York, Fet. 17. The most import
ant fact In connection with today's
stock market was that the heavy liquid
ation of yesterday was not resumed.
There was aggresstvo pressure by the
bears at times but they refrained from
leaving their contracts open and their
covering before the close brought prices
back to near the high level of the
day. Net gains resulted fractional for
the most part, but extending to a
point In some cases. Quotations re
ceived this morning from London
showed the prices of Americans there
substantially above the closing prices
here last night, but that simply meant
that declines from yesterday's London
closing hud not fully reached yesterday
afternoon's heavy declines hero after
the London exchnnge had closed. The
buying in London which served to sus
tain prices was on cabled ordere from
New i'ork and represented the cover
ing of bhorts put on the market. To
tal sales were 418,000 ehares.

COMMERCE OF THE LAKES.
Incrcnsc of the Business of the Chief
"oris in Ton Yeurs.
From the Sun.
There nre 20,000 vesbels, including
G,50fi steamers and 13,500 sailing eruft
of all class-ts, under the American flag.
While American shipping in salt water
districts has not been increasing ma
terially there has been a very large
gain In the commerce of the lakes, a
gain so large that the figures are sur
prising. In tun years, for Instance, the
lake commerce of the city of Buffalo
has almost doubled. Increasing from
98,000,000 to 135,000,000 tons. The ship
ping business of Detroit has Increased
from 100,000,000 to 173,000,000 tons In ten
years. The shipping business of the
Michigan peninsula has Increased from
45.000,000 to 100,000,000 tons In the same
period. Chlcag'o's business has fallen
off somewhat, the caln being made up
In Duluth and Milwaukee. The lake
business of Milwaukee and Duluth ton
years ago was 80,000.000 tons, last year
it was 180000100.
But compared with these Increases,
large as some of them are, the growth
of Cleveland as the chief lake port of
the l'nlted States has been almost phe
nomenal. In tho year 1887 the tonnage
of the port of Cleveland was 125,000,000;
last year It was 300,000,000, and there
Is every Indication that this. Increase,
based en geographical grounds, has
come to stay. The position of Cleve
land a a shipping port Is certainly re
markable. It Is a shipping centre for
bituminous coal. It Is the receiving
point for tho largest share of the Iron
nnd lumber of Michigan, and It fur
nishes a safe and excellent harbor for
vessels of all sizes. The commerce of
the greit northern lakes Is largely In
the hands of Amei leans, and the prof
its arising from the business are In
creasing year by year.
