Last week found us at that beautiful
mill town. Improvement seems to be
the order of the dny there. The mill
company have just completed new
store building and Office. The main
building is 67x30 feet, with AN ell for
offices 20y32 feet, The whole building
is two stories high. The Port Ludlow
mill cuts ut present abuut 80 900 feet OF
lumber per day. At present the princi
pal event there is getting out timbers for
the new mill. 1t is proposed TO tear
away the whole OF the present mill, and
erect in its phce new one complete in
all its appointments. If completed us
designed, II will be the model mill on the
sound.
'lhs main hqldirg will sc 2ssb tvet
long bysoJ feet vide, and two stories
high, being tifty-thrre feet from sill to
ridge pole. the engine room will be one
siIe of the main building, aad will be
36z24 feet. There will also be another
addition, 3ex50 for planning room,
1t is estimated that it will require over
one million feet OF squared timbers for
the frame OF this mill.
There will be three new engines in the
mill, two very large and powerful en-
gincs being attached to the main shaft
Among the improved machinery there
will be Mirenett's Machine Co.'S. pony
saw, Rabb's patent head blocks, Rabb's
pateut gang edger and board mill, got
ten up by Mr.. Phinney, sefacting, double
link log chain, gang lath mill, two planes,
four edgers, etc, etc.
The new mill will be running this tall.

VALLEJO, May 25,--sIrs. Annie Mallop.
wife OF james Mnllon, both old residents
OF Benicia, came to sudden death lnst
night. Fully as can be gathered, Mal!on
came tc the house OF Clinton, steward of
the government hospital, which is near
the formers dwelling, ut 1915 this
morning, wanting him to get up and see
his wife. MOllun told him when he had
got home he found his wife lying on the
bed motionless and spcechless, Clinton
went to the house and found the woman
lying in crOuching position on the
bedroom floor in u semi-nude condition
aud dead. The family contains twn
children, both girls about 10 and i2
years of age. The younger was lying
asleep in a bed in the same room. and
had not been disturbed during the night
The other was rp and dressed. There
was blood upon the body of the dead
woman. and blood WAS also sprinSled
on the garments Of the girl. The bed of
the parents WIS in disorder and the

but left for inspection by the coroner.
Clinton took the older girl home with
him. 1t is reported here that story is
told that her father came home and beat
her mother until he killed her, TIE cor
oner will probably hold an inquest this
afternoon, Mallon isnot under arrest.
May 26.--The jury in the case Of Mrs.
Malion yesterday afternoon found that
the deceased came to her death from
blows received from the hands of her
husband, His examination will take

mand Of Lieutenant Deubasof. About
two hours stcamipg brought the Rus

claels lay anchored in the stream, and
without delay the signal to attack was
given. Lieutenant Dehbasod made an
admirable disposition of his gunbOats,

Taking the lead in the advance he ran
his own gunbo,t in between the Turkish
ironchids without paying any heed to
the heavy fire which the monitors opened
on the approaching gunboats. Selecting
the largest Of the monitors, Lieutenant
Deubasoif ran his boat alongside and

occupy more than twenty minutes from

kept up constant IRE upon the assail-

so bad that not single Russian was

The improvements in progress at the place of MT. ). W. Titus will no doubt receive extended notice when completed. The old building is removed entirely, and 8 new three story house erected in it's place. It will be one of the finest resi-. dences in the town. Indeed the ''march ot improvement" in and near the Depot IS very rapid.
 The town met with it's usual luck in the road case, finished last week. The pe- tition was for new road improving the route from Marbledale to Judd's Bridge, and running near the dividing line be- tween New Milford and Washington. If we are not mistaken it follows 'Trout Brook" and is said to give very level line and one of great convenience to cer- tain people of that locality. The commit tee have decided to lay the road; and, of the expense, whichhwill probably reach g, ,OOO. about $1 200 will probably fall up: on Washington, beside the costs and ex- penses of the trial. Turrill and Andrews appeared for the petitioners; McMahon and Huntington. for the towns of Wash ington and New Milford. -
 On Tuesday of last week MT. Armond Olmsted had difficulty with Dutch man he had recently hired, about his wa ges, which resulted in an assault by the latter on the former. The excited foreign CT struck MT. O. several times on the head with chair. inficting several .seri- ous scalp wounds and breaking one of the bones of his left forearm. On Thursday the case came to trial before Justice Ralph Buckingham of Marbledale. MT. William Odell, Grand Juror, appearing on behalf of the State and Geo. A. Hick- OK for the prisoner. The man pleaded guilty, and after somewhat extended ex- animation of witnesses to show the char acter of the assault and the extent of the injuties inflicted, the justice sentenced the prisoner to 30 days Imprisonment and to pay fine of $7 and costs. He is now in jail. Id -a..- Fl. Jour correspondent "J." writes that MT. Frederick Brinsmade had barr burnt, with large nov of old hay, or Saturday evening last. It is supposed to have been the work of an lncendiary. ED. ENQ
