IMPORTANT INVENTION.
MIR. HADLoCK REvOLUTIoNIZING THE
BUSINESS OF PILE DRIVING.

BUSINESS OF PILE DRIVING.
Mr.. Samuel Hadlock, of this city is
an old and experienced contractor,
having had much to do with wharf
building on Puget Sound. Some
time ago he conceived the idea of
improving the machinery of pile
drivers so as to save the expense of
keeping a man aloft on the shears to
cast off the nippers of the hammer.
Acting upon this idea, he went to
work to put it in tangible shape; the
result is combination automatic nip
pers that work to a acharm. Mr.. Had
lock prepared a model and applied
for patent which was granted. He
has just had his first pair Of nippers
under the patent made at Weymouth
and Moffat's blacksmith shop where
they can be seen by the public. The
invention will be used on Mr.. Had
locks new steam pile driver just near
in completion.
The contrivance is rather simple
though decidedly ingenious. A lit
tie lever works so as to separate the
points of the nippers ana then fall
back to its place; it will be worked
by small line, the operator remain
ing on the deck of the scow. Not
only will it be unnecessary to have
a man aloft to throw off the nippers
by means of crowbar, as is the case
with the old kind, but the hammer can
be dropped in an instant at any point,
thus saving largely in the time of
hosting and letting go. Mr. Hadlock
has had numerous letters asking for
terms for county or state rights. If it
works as satisfactory as present indi
cations assure, the new improvement
will soon come into general Use, in
which case a handsome royalty will
be secured for the inventor. We
shall await with considerable interest
the time when this invention will be
put into practical and steady use,
hoping that it may prove to be all
that is expected. Mr.. Hadlock GER
tainly deserves the fullest measure Of
success after his patient labor in per-
fecting the rude contrivance suggest
ed by his idea in the first instance.
Port Townsend will be proud of his
success, at least, and wharf builters
will take kindly to any improve ment
that reduces the cost Of driving piles
as this one certainly promises

SASH AND DOOR FACTORY.
1T IS A FIXED REALITY.

After all the talk about u sash and
door factory for Port Townsend the
public will be prepared for the an
nounccment contained herein. We
are gratihed to announce that the en-
terprise has been taken hold of by
substantial and reliable business men
and that it's successful operation is an
assured fact. Mr.. j. S. Miller, rop-
rcsenting H. p. Gregory & Co., of
Portland,carr away today an order
for the machinery required, and the
building for its reception will soon be
erected.
Mr.. A. H. Tucker, one of our old
time residents. and Messrs. Chas. E.
Pink and G. w. Flint, for years en-
ployed at the Port Discovery sawmill
are the parties who have undertaken
the manufacture of sashes, doors,
blinds, etc, in this place. A building
50x1l0 feet, one story high, will soon
be erected on Mr.. Weymouth's lots
near the sawmill, and in this the new
factory will be located The machin-
cry to be used includes all of the lat
est improved kinds, and the factory
will be the largest Of the kind on Pu
get Sound. All the parties interest
ed are substantial business men, and
are experienced mechanics. If they
do not make the enterprise a success
it will hardly be worth while for any
one else to try.
Port Townsend has long needed
the impetus Of manufacturing enter
prises to aid in its growth, and we re
joice that the era of rapid develop
ment in this line has arrived at last.
Every man who contributes toward
establishing enterprises that will
bring business to the town is a pub.
lie benefactor. With what we have
already as a nucleus, other kinds Ct
factories are sure to follow, and so
the good results will go on ad infni-
TN. Let the procession advance
nor stop till Port Townsend Bay is
surrounded bya manufacturing and
commercial city such as its superior
harbor facilities and magnificent geo
graphical position warrant.

THE TEWKSBURY HEARING.
The MatrOn on the Witness Stand.

BOSTON, June 8.
At the Tewksbury hearing Mrs. ii. A. San
born, Matron at Tewksbury, testified she
never knew the inmates to be bathed in dirty
water. Never knew of acts of cruelty nor of
Mrs. Marsh's taking clothes of the inmates
Many improvements have been made in
eleven years, but the general treatment of
the inmates and their food and clothing are
the same as eleven years ago.
Ph9ba A. Merrill, assistant at Tewksbury,
gave some favorable testimony during which
Gov. Butler incidentally remarked that he
wasn't responsible for the present manage
mant He was not satisfied with it and would
take occasion to so manifest it that no one
would mistake his views.
| Rev. Father Gigault, Catholic priest. had
regularly attended Tewksbury and knew of
no case since 1879 in which deceased Cath
Ole inmate had been buried without the rites
of the church, nor any child been deprived
of the reception of the sacrament, Had seen
| nothing of uncleanliness in the hospital.
Gov. Butler offered the witness piece of
tanned human skin on which was tatoOed a
crucifx and the name of c. T. Eklund.
Brown objected, but the Governor said
that the would show that the management of
Tewksbury allowed the witness to make the
mummery of the funeral service over the
mans body when it had been sent to Harvard
medical school He would show that short
time after he was dead and buried with fu-
neral rites. his body was in Harvard school
and this piece of skin taken from his breast.
| 1t was argued that the Governor must show
that Father Gigault performed the service
over an empty coffin before this skin could
be admitted as evidence and an animated
discussion ensued
The remainder of the session was consumed
in discussing the admission of Eklund's al
| legged skin as evidence and without reaching
a conclusion the hearing adjourned.

that Dr. Gorton had been chosen by that

piled that as he construed the law. he has a
right to nominate that officer and that this
election was of no effect. When further in
formed that the board had decided to COM
bine the offices of superintendent and physi-
clan, and thus make a saving of 100 per
annum, he said he did not think that this
could be done under these circumstances Ii
is likely that DR.. Gorton will decline to have
anything further to do with the office

A dispatch to the New York Times from
Chicago states that reporter in that city
called upon Sec. Lincoln at the Palmer
House in reference to the resolutions
passed by the Federation of Labor here,
concerning his non-enforcement Of the
eight hour law. According to the de-
spatch. .sMr. Lincoln said that the mat.
ter was generally misunderstood by the
majority of the people. 1t was true that
Congress had passed an act fixing days
work at eight hours, but the Supreme
Court had decided that the question OF
compensation was matter of contract.
There was no objection to the men work
ing eight hours. but in reality they
wanted to work ten hours. only they in
sisted upon eight hours being called q
days task and then demand two hours ad.
ditional employment with proportional
pay. Now. the province of the Secretary
was two-fold. Not only did he assign work
but he Was also disbursting officer and
had to make the appropriation meet the
requirments. If . too lavish expenditure
was INDUCED in the money would give
out and the work would have to be sus
pended SO that the loboring man nigh
not be the gamers. No decision had beer
rendered a. yet, and the matter was nov
being looked into very carefully. Further
than that Mr.. Lincoln did not care tt
say anything"

The exercises at West Point this year
will be unusually interesting. The routine
being varied by the unwilling of a monu-
ment to General Thayer, one of the first
superintendent. of the academy. The
work Of the cadets during the year just
ending is said to have been exceptionally
thorough. the results proportionally good.
The condition of the grounds is also bet
ter than in the past. The record Of the
academy since West Point was transform
ed from a department into post will be
highly pleasing to the advocates OF the
change. and to the friends of General
Merritt. the present superintendent.
