The Uses of Rags and Old ClOthes-Difer-
ent Kinds of Paper and Their Manufact-
ure.
'Old rags, any old rags to-day, old
rags"
The shrill cry swept the cobwebs
from the brain of Herald reporter
early yesterday morning as he was
catching fall out of Old Morpheus.
He looked from out his chamber win
dow and saw bent form poking over
an old ash-barrel in the back yard,
while the voice was uplifted at intervals
with the cry given above. 1t aroused
curiosity as to where all the rags go
to and what is done with them. He
called, therefore, on a member of one
of the big paper mill firms and rag
warehouse owners, and heard q very in
teresting story about the futurity of our
old cast-off clothing. The rags are
brought in in hundreds of ways, and
when picked over at the warehouse they
are weighed out and shippedin bales to
paper mills. The way the pulp is made
is the curious part of the ragged his
tory. When the rags are received at
the mill, they are sorted over by chill
dren, boys and girls, who make piles
of all the cotton, linen and
woolen rags. while oyster cans, old
boots, goats horns and other refuse OF a
like cheerful nature are cast into the
bins. There are sixteen different
grades OF rags. If print paper, such as
this paper is printed on is wanted. cot
ton rags are used. They are placed in
10 hoS1or s,r xuhs snh Sc
water. They are left in this receptacle
for from ten to twelve hours and are
cooked by steam. Some mills use soda
ashes instead of lime water. This proc
ess soitens and cuts the fiber of the
rags. They are then p aced in an ell
lptical washer called an "eng ne. -
This latter revolves on a shS.t, which
also runs through on the center of the
"eneine," and on the inside of the lat
ter is a tached round wheel with
sharp teeth ON its outer rim. To the
stationary DO tom of the bed of the tank
or engine is attached sharpened KIN yes,
from eighteen to twenty in number.
The work cut out for these teeth is to
tear tie rags into bits. They cut like a
pair OF sharp scissors. This reduces the

thoroughly washed out OF the pulp,

and. after being dried out somewhat. it

is added, and the grade is brought
down as low as is required. The wood

of poplar. A separate factory turns
out this wood pulp. The process of

A Locomotive in Mid-Air.

Last saturday, while workmen were
engaged in repairing the Lehigh Valley
bridge, over the Delaware river, the fast
freight came along and before it could be
stopped ran along the track to the spot
where the repairs were being made. The
rails had been removed and heavy
wooden timbers spanned the ten ortwelve
more feet between the pier and the end
of an iron span.
Some Of these timbers had been re-
moved and the locomotive crashed
through the remaining ones and lodged
against the pier, turning half over. The
req driving wheel caught against the
heavy girder Of the span and there the
engine hangs. To remove it will be no
easy task. All day long q force of men
have been working yer the wreck, but
so peculiar was the accident and SO diff
cult the task of getting . purchase ON
the locomotive that it will require con.
siderable time to remove it. The engine
weighs over seventy tons, and IS the
bridge is over seventy feet high at the
point in question, the magnitude of the
work may be imagined. The bridge
span is also injured and the damage will
be heavy. The accident was occasioned
by the engineer Of the train being I'M
able to stop after getting the signal, as a
pushing engine on the rear of the train,
which extended around a curve, could
not not be notified, and pushed the front
of the train upon the %railless span.

they are all absolved from payment of

however, to offer the Washburne& Moen

Fatal Duel in Mexico.

MEXICO, Via Galveston, November 8.
"A duel was fought in Chapultepec, out
side the city, this morning, between
Degheest, of the Mexican National bank,
and Oliviere, a French merchant. The
latter was killed, and Digheest was badly
wounded. Swords were used. Both
parties are we'll known. The trouble
was caused by a dispute over seats at the
races Sunday. The British minister,
two American ladies and Degheest left
their seats to promenade. Oliyiere and
two ladies occupied them. A quarrel
ensued between Degheest and Oliviere.
The former called the police and the lat
ter was elected. The incident caused
several challenges to Degheest. He had
another duel arranged for tomorrow.
