BEFORE JUDGE BoEEEY,


THyRsDAY.-Thomas H. Randall v. Joseph Pink
han. Action to recover damages for the breach Of
an agreement by the defendant to lease hotel at
South Harpswel, called the 4Merriconneag House.
The plaintiff in the spring of 1882, was clerk in
q store in Salem, New Hampshire, and after some
negotiations with the defendant, he owner of the
hotel, received let er from Mr.. Pinkham, saying,
81 have concluded to offer the houe to you for $500
per year for one year or more If everything should
10 satisfactory. / should want the rent money by
the middle or last of September, because should
want the money to use You may think the price
Ia quite high, but NJ. A. j Merriman has rented the
Harpswell House for 5000 to parties in Penn, and
I should think this ought to be worth as much as
that"
To this the plaintiff replied in due course of mail
a. follows:
81 will come to your terms and take the house for
$500 per year. and will ag to pay money for rent
as y want 1t, viz Sept mber Of course
if everything goes to suit you shall want i for the
i've years md sh uld wan something in the lease
TO that effect. for one could no DO much in one
year l shall be in Portland about the 10th OF May
and will then come 10 Harpswel and have the VIII
ines done and look the house over"
The plaintiff claims that pursuant to the above
contract he gave his business in Salem, sold ms
household furniture at a sacrifice, moved his family
30 Portland and emit to Harpswell as no agreed;
that in the meantime the other hotel at HarpsWel
Neck, where this house was situated. had burned;
tnAt IN Oh fAAuo VI AC1e "a ooo
hotel the defendant sought TO break the agreement
for the lease by requi ing the plain id to furnish Sc
eurity for the rent which plaintiff says he declined
70 do.
The defendant claims that the plaintiff on his ar
rival at Harpswen did agree to furnish security for
the rent if the defendant would come to Portland,
which be did the xt week, and that the agreement
was then broken by the plaintiffs refusing 10 fur
nish such security.
The plaintiff acknow edged that while at Harp :
we'll the defendant to him he should want securi-
ty for the rent but said that he cid not agree 10
furnish it; that defendant asked him II he wah Ell
to back out saying that his, defendants, son would
like to take it, and plaintiff the hxei his damages
at 800.

The Fibre Ware Co.

The manufacture of indurated ware is an in
dustry new to the world, no other works of the
kind being in existence. The Fibre Ware
Company of this city, with capital of $780,.
900, took possession of the building erected by
a defunct chair and furniture company, about
one mile from the post office at Waterville
nearly two years ago, and ran their works till
last March, working under patents granted in
November, 1889, and March and August 1881.
The articles manufactured are washbows aud
pals, though lamps have been made and at
tempts are being made to manufacture spool
heads and various other articles. The material
used is wood pulp, made from spruce at man
ufactory III Boston, and the same as used for
the manufacture of paper. The ware is thus
practically paper ware, as the pulp is treated
the same as though it was to be made into pa
per, but at tLis point everything changes, the
pulp, instead OF passing between the roller of
paper machine, flows into mould capable of
exerting pressure of $500 pounds, and in
three minutes the jaw of the mould drops and
.washbowl or a water pail drops out. When
thoroughly dried in the atmosphere the bowl
or pail is passed into machine fitted with the
proper FORMS, and subjected to pressure of
oVV tuuS, from winch IL energies Win q shape
that cannot be changed. Though compare
atiyely smooth, the articles are next sandpa-
pered on machines making 1900 revolutions
per minute, and then treated with chemical
preparation that outwsrdly changes them into
a substance resembling horn, and in which
condition they may be immersed in boiling
water for hours without change. Since last
March the works have been under the superin-
tendency of Mr.. James G.. Dodge, of Gorham,
who is just completing new fire-proof drying
house, with eight drying rooms, SO arranged
that continuous draft of hot air is passing
through them, and with arrangements for as
certaining and regulating the temperature and
humidity Of each room. The works will be
ready to start up again in a couple of weeks.
When fully running fifteen or twenty hands
will be employed, ana about 1900 washbowls
and from 600 to 800 pals will be turned out
The possibilities of this work are great and
many articles of common use can readily be
manufactured. which will find favor by their
lghtness and durability.
