encouraging outward signs of supremacy
of order has just appeared IN the removal
of the barracks in the streets about the
court house. At noon the first street
cars of the Mt. Auburn line were per.
mitted to pass through, after being shut
out since half past nine on Saturday
night. when the pistol firing and stone
throwing IN front Of the court house go
intimidated the drivers and conductors
that they refused to further risk their
lives. Travel Of all kinds at once was
resumed about the court house. One OF
the first lots of freight delivered
north of Court street was an immense
quantity of bacon to the pork house op.
posite the court house. A very few sol.
diers are pacing the sidewalks around
the court house, for the purpose of pre-.

Washington. April 2-Information has
been received at the headquarters Of the
army from the United States consul
general at Matsmoras concerning the
Apaches in northern Mexic., which
tends to strengthen the belief that Little
Charley McComss was killed by
his captors, aud from talks with Apache
sauaws at Chihuahua, recentlylcaptured
by the Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt Of it. Ju Is said to be still alive
and with about twenty bucks, is net
over 100 miles snorth OF chihuahua.
If General Crook had supplies
enough in bis Mexican campaign to have
remained in the mountains q fortnight
longer, in and every Apache Of those in

General Crook was compelled to move

The Wooden Industry.


Rowland Hazard, IA Rhode Island
wooden manufacturer, delivered an in
teresting lecture at Cambridge, Mass,
a few evenings ago, upon the subject
of wool and its manufacture. Wool,
he said, differs from cotton, in that it
is more solid fibre. The cotton fibre
Is hollow cylinder, and in manufac-
ture, 1t Is nautened into a ribbon. Wool
also differs from hair, In that the SER
rations which longitudinal section of
IA hair would show, become, In the
wooden fibre, flattened into scales.
Wool, too, has kinks, which may he
Strengthened out by stretching. The
scales OF the wooden fibre cling together
upon being pressed, aud this, In con-
nection with the kinks, gives 1t its
great value.
The lecturer had spread ont before
him many varieties Of wool, and also
samples of wooden goods, and he invi-
ted the inspection of them after the
lecture. The different kinds varied,
he said, in firmness, length and
strength. Those parts of the world
which grow wool in excess ofconsump-
ton are few. Europe has GO sheep to
every 100 Inhabitants the United
states 10 anu Shuhuh -. NOut VI
these supply their own needs. Where,
then, does the wool come from? IL
,mes first, from South Africa, which
has $50 sheep to every 100 inhabitantsi
second, from Australia. which has,
estimated in the same way, 2l02 sheep,
and, thirdly, from the regions of the
river Plate, which has $3.50.
Mr.. Hazard then gave an interesting
sketch of the development of wooden
machinery, and mentioned that the
lmhpufacsfe has been known from the
f1Arliest He. He explained the three
distinct Processes In use--the carding
process, the worsted process, and the
telling process. The worsted process
Is distinguished in the fact that the
wool is combed instead of being carded
and the long fibres are selected out
into what is called top" and shorter
ones, called "noIls," are rejected 1t
Is thin, In skeins, and, in drawing
these out into yarn, uniformity OF size
is secured by doubling no less than
