It was our 1 privilege a few days ago to join the Su- i . perinlcndenl, Mr. Henry Edmunds, en a 1 visit of iospectioo of the works, in com- 1 pany with Mr. John L. Stewart, President I of the Colled Gaa Improvement Com- e | psny.tiy whom and under whose auspices e the works in this city are now owned and o operated, and also with Professor T. 6. t , C. Lowe, the company's engineer, and b patentee of the mtcufacturlnr anoaraitn c patentee manufacturing

employed. The machinery was in rented by Profeaaor Lowe some eight yean ago, and has since been greatly implored. It is now in ancoeaaful operation in upwards of eighty different dlies and towns throughout the United States. The apparatus it my much simpler and less costly than the old system of mannfac- i taring gas from coal, while the cost of I producing is proportionately reduced. In- i stead of the clumsy and unsightly row of I furnaces and retorts required in the for. I mer process, the Lowe appamtua consists i _ rocr process, ine ixurc spparaius consists

T principally of two cylinders, ooe the gen- „ erator and aupcr-bcsthr combined, and t the other the scrubber and washer. At „ the Cape May works the former cylinder f is twenty.! wo feet high by six feet in 1 dismeccr, apd hiring a capacity for gen- _ crating steam for ligfatina purposes lor a [ City fire times the site of this. The ( Ream is generated by means of a furnace j in the lower part of tbe mala cylinder. I This is charged with brick bested to an 1 intense degree, or about 8,900 degrees, . and forced through six feet of- tocandcsI oral anthracite ooal, producing hydrogen, ■ enfboffic oxide sod other gases. The hydrocarbon gaa is produced by the ad- , "mission from the top of the super-heater , of a small stream of crude naphtha, fed , from a reserroir located near the roof or , the building. The gases bom' the two , sources, steam and oil, thus unite and Into the scrubber and washer cylinder, where It Is cooled, tbe means ejnnlnTei Mm (tut (Mm e.f ■ S — ...— - ' a spray of

Tbe 0 proportion of hydrogen la 75 per cant, to « 25 per cent, of oil gaa. o- Gaa by the abor^ process is produced 1 with wonderful facility, and at a great f earing of rime and labor. Thus" it takes f but two boon to fnrmlsh gat sufficient to J light Cape May City by tbe night, when, 0 under the old system, ft generally took all - day and nighLgnd then rery frequently . failed of supply. To each 1,000 feet of . | gaa made four gallons of naphtha are consumed. An Important feature of the new method la its labor-earing consideration. ' The charging of the old.coal retorts was ercr a difficult and not always aafe proceeding, and entailed the exercise of much muscular strength. This is now ' around the works being aM that are re- | quired. | As to the quality of the gat fureteb-d, we need only ruler to the light Itself, though that which ire hare bad for a few olghu pan la Dot op to the standard claimed for the prooeas by the company. This deflection, the superintendent and engineer inform us, will be remedied in a : day or two at moat, aad the former txoel1 lent light given us during che first of the : season will be reinstated. It it the purpose of the outnpany lo improve and beautify tlicir property here, with a view of ■ making h the model works of those | owned and controlled by them. The old I gas rclicaare now being removed, nbd the I machinery {ail recently erected by tbe late i owners baa been tillered for sale.

Dress-goods trade with us is now very largely upon goods below value. Checks, checks tripes, melanges, debeige, and others, are at half and hvo- : i-ds. Not all we have; we lon't mean that; some of all these and other sorts. And low prices are no reflection on i iy: goods. Whatever we buy low \vc sell low. Of course we lose money on goods somctirties. We are not talking about that now. Second and third circles, aouthcart from center.

Fine-wool and silk-and-wool * t h frigs at two-thirds ; some even at 1 alf ; the best things in the sMre at that Literally true!' Wh t in all dress goods is better than, a fine debeige? We have one at .50 cents that is well worth a dollar. What lias proved better this season than small-check effects? Why, we have thirty sorts at twothirds and below. What better than a fine melange? Twothirds ; and fifty to choose from. There is no exhausting them. Uauy c-iuutcra. bjitheasl from canter.
