NEW MACHINERY INTRODUCED BY II. ". CAUSE
THE MOST COMPLETE MILL IN THE STATE
The steam saw mill at the foot of West street,
formerly owned by Thomas Walter, but now the
property of II. W. Cause, has recently UNDER
gone Improvement and is now believed to be
the most thorough in the State.
At an expense of almost three thousand dol
lars, Mr.. Cause has put into the mill a circular
saw which has just cevery got into successful
operation. The saw is OF Disstons patent, and
by means Of an improved railway and carr-
age, invented, manufactured, and applied by
John l.. Knowlton, of Sharon Hill, has a capacity
to cut 1900 feet Of lumber per day. This railway
ID the only one of its kind in Delaware, and
among the few in existence in the United States.
1t ID strong in construction, labor saving in it's
operation, and by the numerous facilities which
it possesses enables rapid handling and adjust
ment Of even the heaviest logs at the expendi-
ture OF but little strength. BY means OF levers
it is capable of an instantaneous lateral move
ment OF about two feet, shifting the whole log
an equal distance, and the guages are 30 repdily
and equally worked that but little time ia
lost in the adjustment Of the log. Friction
rollers propel and run back the carriage at very
rapid rate of speed, and altogether the appliance
is ono of the most valuable which has vet been
introduced in saw mill machinery.
Only short time previous Mr.. Cause put into
the mill perpendicular saw, the movement OF
which is produced not by connecting belts from
the engine. but by tho direct appliance OF steam
INTO ubpNt tHt raw. lHlo WHICH cNllnueT
works piston, the lower end of which is fas-
tened to the saw and compels its movement.
This saw is much more rapid in it's work than by
tho old method OF gearing, and gives thorough
satisfaction.
Mr.. Cause manufactures for the wholesale
trade altogether. He does not now transact
a rota business, hut sells to this class OF deal
ers at home, and furnishes a great deal for
other markets. His pine lumber is RATED from
the Susquehsnna in logs, raised by machinery
into the mill, cut up into the desired size and
shipped in quantities ordered. The oak lumber
IL cut almost exclusively in our Delaware forests.
the greater part. at present. coming from the
ucighborhood of Harrington, where MIR. Cause
has purchased about two hundred acres of wood
land and whore he keeps force OF wool.chop-
pers constantly at work.
There is very little waste about this mill With
smaller saws and other machinery the smaller
pieces of timber are worked up into shingles,
spokes and keg and barrel heads, for which there
is an active demand. There are also planing
machines in the mill for the manufacture Of
dressed flooring. The speciality OF the mill, how
ever, is the manufacture Of deck plank.

margin of only $40, 80 OF receipts over ex-
pensee, provided all City Taxes are collected. To
collect the entire amount Of Taxes on the books
OF the receivers is an impossibility. 1t will be
observed that the estimated expenses for 1875
exceed the amount appropriated for 1874, $21,-
1850. This lis caused mainly by the enlarge.
ment of our interest account, together with Co.
900. 90 which must be provided for the redemp-
ton of tho Water Loan to this amount, falling
due July lst, next.
Your Oommittee are clearly of the opinion that
i would be unwise and ineSpedent to advance
tho rate OF taxation during the next year, as
owners of Real Estate and other species Of tax
able property are not receiving from such pro-
perty such returns as will warrant excessive
taxation.
Your Committee would therefore respectfully
suggest, that members Of Council will carefully
examine the estimates for 1875, and be prepared
to make reduction, il possible. in portion Of
them at least, when the ordinance shall come up
for consideration making the appropriations, in
JanDary next.
The Board OF Public Education may require
for 1875, $4,000. If such should be the case,
tho rate of Tax for School purposes must be ad-
vanced over that Of 1874, in proportion to the
amount required.

SECRET BURIAL OF UDDERZooK's u BopY-THE MOTH
ER BY THE REMAINS OF her soN.
The West Chester Ne,cs, Of Friday, says
To-day tho natural inquiry is 'what has been
done with Uddezook's body" Various specu-
iations arc indulged in rs to its place of inter-
mont, and opinions are ~ diverse and conflict
ing as can well be imagined. We are assured
that the body Was taken from the prison last
night, and ore this has been buried under the
care and superintendence Of the parents.
The mother returned from Downingtowu last
evening, and her manifestations of grief upon
looking upon the remains OF her son are des-
cribed az hesrt-rending in the extreme. We may
here mention with interest that, notwithstanding
the prisoner devoted 30 much Of his time to wri-
ting, yet he has not left the trace of syllable in
his cell. The corpse last night, before its re-
moval, had returned to a life-liko appearance,
the expression being like unto one enjoying
refreshing SLEEP. The prison-keepers keenly
feel the change which has followed since yester-
day, and express their greatest admiration for
him as gentleman, 30 far ss their associations
were concerned.

Az noon Tile prisoner was brought ont from
his cell in tho county prison, and passed through
the prison yard, accompanied by the Sheriff, and
deputy, with the ministers who have been in
attendance upon him.
He walked firmly, with no outward exhibition
OF his sense OF the terrible fate that awaited
him.
He ascended the scaffold, where short PRAYER
WAS offered by the Rev. Mr.. Best.
A few moments were then spent in subdued
conversation between Udderzook and the minis
tors.
His last words to his spiritual advisers, who
have been constant and devoted in their atten-
tions to him, were:
San have to say is l am sinner, saved by
grace, and am accepted Of God"
The Shenf then approached him. and shook
hands with him, bidding him good-by. Deputy
McFarlan then placed the black cap on his head
and Sheriff Gill, At nineteen minutes past twelve
pulled the drop.
His body fell several feet. but the neck was
apparently not broken, and death was caused by
strangulation, the body hanging there and Civ
ing no outward sign that he was suffering.
