New Leather Board MN in Poland

Emery Andrews has sold his mill privilege
at Welchyille, and the Mousam Manufacturing
adaasaFg afsaas Y sghich M an
man his farm and water privilege in Poland
known as the Hackett mills. The Mousam
Manufacturing Company now own the entire
Hackett mills privilege and are buildings
mill about 200x50 feet, with bleach house 20x3O
feet. The Welchyille machinery will be
moved to the new mill when it ts completed.
The mill will have some novelties in its con-
s.ruction and ii is expected that board can be
made at a minimum of cost. The bleach
house viii be three stories high. and is so
situated that the saw stock can be run on
level from the carts to the third story, which
will contain the cutters. The cut stock is
furnished directly into the large rotary bleach
which will be hung in the second story. After
bleaching the stock is easily dropped into bins
on the floor Of the first story, which is on a
level with the fooi Of the main mil. All ele-
waiting the stock is thus dispensed with. The
main building is constructed on the lone
story plan." The main shaft will be under
the floor, resting on brick piers, and all en-
gines, and machines also rest on brick founda-
tions, entirely independent of the mill.
The whole manufacture from furnishing en-
gines to weighing and sorting will be in this
one room. The boiler will be outside of the
mill, distant few feet, in brick fire proof
building, and will have an under ground way
for steam and water pipes. The main power
will be furnished by two small Hercules wheels,
a right aud left, set in the dume outside the
mill, and each graved directly to the main
shaft which passes over their centers. By this
arrangement high speed, and light gears are
secured without extra cost, aud the greater
strain and thrust of a single, slower moving
wheel. and heavier gears are avoided. The
mills Ia situated one mile from Empire station
on the Grand Trunk, but the Grand Trunk
are TO put in q siding very near the mill. The
Boston Office OF this company is managed by s.
b. Rogers & Co., who are also owners and
directors in the company.

RAILWAY APPLIANCES.

Opening of the Exhibition at Chicago.
CHICAGO May q The national exposition
of railway appliances opened today, and the
formal exercises occurred this evening.
AD address of welcome was delivered by May
or Harrison. The Hon. Z. B. washburne
made the opening address, at the conclusion of
which number of the old engineers, some of
whom took pert in the opening and running
of the first railways built, were conducted TO
the platform and introduced to the meeting.
Three bands have been engaged. As il is
Queen Victoria's birthday, il was agreed that
the formal opening ceremonies should be
brought to close by the bands in concert
playing "God Save the Queen" The mo-
ment they were over, at given signal, every
piece of machinery was started into motion.
Exhibits are at present coming in very rapidly
and the work of putting them in shape is
going ON as fast as possible. Engines from the
principal locomotive works in the country are
in place, and two OF the old eDgines-one from
Nova Scotia and one from Baltimore-have
arrived. The Rocket, which was expected,
will not come, but the Locomotion, an older
engine than the Rocket, is now on the way.
The Locomotion is considered in England to
be much greater cariosity than the Rocket,
being the engine that Stephenson built as his
Master Mechanic A. j. Stevens of the Central
Pacific Railroad sends a model of his i'm
proved valve motor for locomotives, and
also drawings of the new mammoth locomo-
tive now being constructed at the ocmpany's
work at Sacramento to be named El Gober-
nador. This engine will be much larger than
the one now in use in the Tehichipa noun
tain, which at present is the largest in the
world

the Vatican.
DUBLIN, Nav 24.-Archbishop Croke reply
ing TO an address of welcome presented TO him

love for the Irish people that caused him to be
so solicitious for their welfare. He was conf
dent that when the Pope understood the situa-
tion better the efforts OF the priesthood and of
himself for the Irish would be crowned with
success. Time would prove the correctness Of
his representations to the Pope. Meanwhile

ly the friend of the people,

The Death Of Col. Frank E. Howe.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The National Re
publican gives the following particulars OF the
death OF Col. Frank e Howe :-"Col. Frank
E. Howe, the inventor OF the celebrated Howe
scales, died yesterday in this city under rather
peculiar circumstances. Mr.. Howe has been
in the city for the past ten days, and has been
dissipating heavily. When he arrived in the
city he stopped at 1903 r street. He died in
the house Of John Minnix, hack driver, at
1899 Seventh street. It was reported last night
that he had committed suicide, but there is no
evidence of it; at lest none could be obtained.
A reporter called at Minnix's house last night
and learned from him that he he'd known Mr.,
Howe for long time. Last week, when he
came to the city, hestopped at Mnnix's house,
and was there pretty nearly every night. de
came there Saturday IN hanson and did not
20 out again. On Monday he began to feel
1nwell. and on Tuesday DIR. Stanton was
called in and prescribed for him. He stated
tbat the disease was poisoning. Mr. Minnix
notified Mr. Howes friends and his son arrived
last night and will take charge OF the body TO-
day. There was nothing suspicious about MS
death. Minnix says be drove for him when nc
was here several amonths ago, and formed ma
acquaintance then, and whenever ne came 70
Washington he spent some time az ms mouse.
DIR. Stanton was called on and asked II IL was
true that Mr.. Howe had died from urenic
poisoning; he replied in tho affirmative

WASHINGTON.


Mr.. Dezendorf's Record as Civil Ser.
vice Reformer.
WASHINGTON May 24.--Mr. Dezsndorf, who
has called the attention OF the Government TO
alleged abuses In the Navy Yard at Norfolk,
will have a chapter OF his own history to read.
The Administration organ here publishes some
letters written by employees OF the Navy Yard
at Norfolk, showing that Mr.. Dezendorf ia his
time was one OF the most skillful and exactiDg
OF political assessors ;sthat he demanded consti-
tutions from Navy Yard employees, received
them, gave his personal receipt therefor, and
that those who failed TO contribute he caused
TO be removed, all OF which OF course may not
be very pleasant TO Mr.. Dezendorf, but is hard
ly sufficient answer 10 his charges. Mr.. Dez-
endorf has replied TO the letter of Secretary
Chandler He denies that there has been any
crookedness in his campaign, and declares that
they have always been conducted fairly and
honestly, and that he paid most of the eSpen-
ses from his own pocket, He says that Ma
hone has secured in onecounty more. from Fed
eral officers than'he (DezendorD ever received
for similar purposes In his own district.
The Delinquent Army and Navy officers.
A local broker Is quoted as saying, referring
to the discovery OF duplicate pay accounts
among Army and Navy officers, that the three
brokers Of this city have compared accounts
and find that they have vouchers for the same
months pay from eight different officers.
Colonel Morrow's friends declare that hi
losses were caused from speculations In petro
leum.
The friends Of Colonel Nickerson declare
that his distinguished services entite him TO a
suspension of public judgment until the case is
tried. They say that he will be able to show
that his case Is not as bad as has been made
out.
The New Postal Notes.
II Is said that the Homer Lee Bank Note
Company OF New York is the lowest bidder for
printing the new postal notes. The bid will be
closely scrutinized, as II was made in eompet-
tion with the Government bureaus OF engrav-
ing and printing which has no rent to pay, and
which, in making bids. does not compute other
elements OF cost which private firm cannot
ignore.
Pleuro- Pneumonia.
The investigation into the pleuro-pneumonia
discloses the fact that there have already been
five cases positively identified and four ami
mails have died. A number of other cases are
reported.
The Greedy Relief Expedition.
At the request OF Gen. Hazen, Secretary
Chandler will order one of the vessels of the
North Atlantic Squadron TO accompany the
vessel to be chartered at st. Johns, N. f., for
the Greely relief expedition with the object
OF having convoy to prevent the failure of
the expedition in case any accident should be-
fall the signal service steamer

Although 1t rained for nearly the entire day
on Wednesday the attendance was very large
at the Odd Fellows fair, both in the afternoon
and evening. The special train from Portland
that arrived 7.45 brought about a hundred
people from that city. A fine gold-headed
cane, a beautiful silver cake basket and a val
liable Past Grand and Past Chief Patriarch s
Jewell that are to be given to the physician,
lady teacher, and past officer receiving the
most votes, attract much attention.
Last night the hall was again crowded, the
extra train on the P. and r. road bringing
many from Portland.
The singing OF Mr.. Rudolph, the either play
ing of Mr.. Horn, and the reading by Miss
Thorne made up the entertainment for the
evening.
II was announced from the stage that Unity
Lodge Of Portland had made a cash gift OF S75
to Saccarappa Lodge.

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.

MIR. Murch Still in Pursuit OF Papers.
WARRINGTON, May 24.-The committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges against Mr..
Hill, supervising architect OF the treasury, met
to-day. Mr.. Murch took up the first matter of
the Dix Island Granite Company and enumer-
ated long list OF papers which he proposed to
ask from the architects Office.
Mr. Thayer, of the architects Office, present
IN Mr.. Hills interest, sugges ed that it was due
Mr.. Hill before requiring him to scour the files
of his Office for years past that he should be in
formed for what specific purpose the papers
were to ba used and what specific charge
against him they were expected TO substanti-
ate.
Mr.. Murch replied that the object in asking
for these papers was to show that great frauds
have been perpetrated upon the Government,
that the cost Of public buildings have been in-
creased far beyond any necessity, and that con-
tractors had in some instances been paid ten
times over the value of the services rendered.
After some further discussion as TO the mode
OF procedure, adjournment was had till tc-
morrow.
