WAILuKu NOTES.

An occasional spuJler OF Hre
crackers on Sunday heralded the
celebration of Chinese new year.
At midnight terrific din Of bombs
and crackers told the arrival Of the
great Oriental day, at the same time
numbering sleep and stimulating
anti-Chlnese resolutions. Wailuku
has some very estimablc Chinese
residents, however, whose bountiful
and polite hospitality on this occa-
sion won the kindly regard Of for
cign and native residents.
The whole town and plantation
kept holiday. Bands of native
musicians played in the streets.
Large parties rode out, the ladies
dressed in the graceful pau. The
Chinese restaurants kept open tables
in specially prepared rooms, where
the best of cookery and confectlons
was spread, with choice drinks in
which to pledge friendship. Young
IIee entertained like prince in the
rooms behind his restaurant and
TheO. II. Davies 4 Co.'s store, re-
ceiving callers from morning till
| near midnight. A select library of
English books in the chief reception
room indicated cultivated taste in
our own language on the part of the
host.
The writer with a couple of
friends, who seemed TO have politics
in view all the time, made trip by
rail to kahului and Spreckelsville.
Fine weather for the only few hours
in the three days favored the expe.
dition, which to the stranger was sc
pleasant that he could not get his
mind back to politics. Mr.. Hans
Anthonsen, head sugar boiler, took
the party over the vast mills. Only
one strike had been ground thai
morning, when grinding was stopped
to give Chinese new year chance
The enormous vacuum pan was
yielding the product TO the big cen.
trifugaIs-everything in the mills il
on a scale with the immensity of tht
plantation. There was no hurry ol
hustle about the place, but the spee(
with which No. sugar was beins
bagged was remarkable.
Shipping was active at Kahului
The schooner Anna was ready I,
sail with sugar for San Francisco
The brigantine j. ID. Spreckels, il
the same line, and the barkentn'
Wrestler, with coal from Australia
were giving work to busy gangs
Large pieces Of the wreck of tn
bark Jas. A. King were strewn ol
the beach, while heaps of iire-woo'
from the same source were pilet
farther back. The Kissing of loco
motives, the rumble Of cars, and tin
rattle of derrcks give loud indus
trial tone to Kahslui.
Registration of voters in the tw'
Wailuku districts was going OF
briskly.
The trip home by the steamer "
G.. Hall was exceptionally smooth
Molokai was seen in rare clear light
its diversified topography and yarie
gated colors making a grand picture
DR.. Mouritz, knowing it from cap
to cape, from beach to mountain
top, kindly pointed out TO the poll
tical pilgrim all the Chjects of inter
est on that side of the island.

THE REFINERY OFFICIALS.

The whole of the plans and the
drawings for the immense refinery
buildings were prepared under the
direction of Mr.. Il. III Muller who
remains rs Engineer in charge Of the
works. The work Of construction
has been carried on under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mr.. Charles
Watson, who has been Mr.. Spreck-
els chief engineer for twenty-five
years, and who will shortly return
to California to prepare for the cree
ton of u number of sugar beet fac
tories and to superintend other bust
ness that needs his direct attention.
The Superintendent of the refinery
is Mr.. A. l.. Sieghortner, Jr.,
who will be directly responsible
for the work of refining the sugar.
DR.. A. Won Wachtel of Austria Is
the Refinery Chemist. Allen Il.
Rorke, the contractor, is so well
known in Philadelphia that it is
scarcely necessary to say that he
has done the best of work with the
best materials, and carried out his
contracts to the letter.

A SOLID ENTERPRISE.

When all this is finished there will
be L solid mass of buildings entend-
ing from the Delaware River for
three squares to Meadow street. and
from Reed to Dickinson street.
There will then be found constant
work for about one thousand per-
sons in this city, which makes, in
deed, a solid'an permanent enter
prise established in Philadelphia.
While looking at the immense struc-
ture it seemed almost in
credible that only short time
since there was nothing here but n
vacant space of land; while to-day
everything is hustle and activity,
from the wharvcs where the sugar is
being landed to the barrel factory
in the rear OF the big b>ildings
where barrels are heing made tC
contain the Refined Sugars.

THE BUILDING SITE. ,

The site on which the buildings
stand is situated between Reed
street and Dickinson street on the
bank of the Delaware River. II
covers in all nine acres Of ground,
exclusive of the space covered by
the three large wbarvcs. The works
are built upon sedimentary, or made
ground, the whole weight being
borne by piles of which there are
more than 10000. Teesc piles
are 40 feet long, driven in
clusters Of 20, with cross caps
and cement filling at the sur
face, which binds the whole in n
solid mass. The masonry extends
about | 2 feet below the surface of
the ground, requiring total excava-
tons amounting TO 10000 cubic
yards. The main buildings are l2O
feet high. The walls begin with n
thickness of SO inches, and all this
immense weight, with tens of thou.
sands Of tons of iron posts, girders,
concrete lloors and machinery, have
not settled the work one fraction OF
an inch.

SUCCESS TO spRECKELS.

Besides the five or six millions of
dollars circulated here through the
construction of the buildings, there
will be permanently employed an
army of skilled workmen who have
their homes here, and who will dis
tribute their wage earnings among
our retail trade. There will be in
creased business for our railroads
and q considerable addition to the
shipping arrivals at this port. 1t
would be 4 good thing for Philadcl-
phia If more men could be found
like Mr.. Spreckcls, and he has in
deed the hest wishes of all citizens
for his success in his undertaking.

THE BUSINESS OFFICES.

The principal Office of the S1reck-
els's Sugar Refinery is in the four
story building situated at the north
east corner of Water and Chestnut
streets, a location hest suited for
brokers and Wholesale grocery trade.
Entering on the ground floor is the
sales room, running the whole length
of the building. This is fitted up
for the display of samples, and for
the convenience of brokers and
buyers, and it is under the charge
of Mr.. G. f. Vail, who has repre-
sented the California Sugar Refinery
at all Missouri River points for the
past seven years. At the rear of
the sales room is convenient office
for the clerical work Of this depart
ment, under Mr.. Percy Eguard. On
the second floor at the front Of the
building are the private offices of
Mr.. Claus Spreckels, MIR. c. A.
Spreckels and Mr.. Rudolph Spreck
els. From these one passes into the
correspondence department under
the supervision of Secretary G. X.
Bucliland. This room is directly
connected by electric bells with the
various telegraph offices in the city
and is perfectly equipped for accom-
plishing the largest amount OF work
in the least possible time. A corps
of half-a-dozen lady stenographers
and type-writers, busily engaged at
their work, reminds one of the in
cessant clicking Of large telegraph
operating room. On the third floor
is the bookkeeper's department un-
der the supervision of Mr.. George
Simpson and here the large safes
and big ledgcrs remind one again OF
the extensive business in hand. The
offices throughout are equipped with
every convenience and handsomely
furnished, as becomes an institution
of this character.
DUPLICATING THE wHOLEr PLANT.
Most people would he satisfied
with u manufacturing establishment
of the size just described, that can
handle and refine 2,000,0 900 pounds
of sugar in every twcnty-fom
hours, but Mr.. Spreckels is not a
man of the every day kind. lie
wants something little better than
anybody else, so has decided to
duplicate the whole of the buildings
now erected and now in operation.
This will give his refinery a capacity
of 1000, 900 pounds, or 1000 tons
of sugar every twenty-four hours
Work WAS commenced on the dupli
cation of these buildings a montl
ago by the erection Of dividing
fence, so that the new work now /,

Full Description Of the Entrm8us
Buildings and Plnnt Of the PhiIa'

Scarcely eighteen months have
elapsed since Claus Spreckels de-
termined to erect Sugar Refinery
in Philadelphia. Having made up
his mind TO do so, no time was lost
in preparing the plans and letting
the contract for the work. IT was on
August 4th, 1888, less than fifteen
months ago, that the first brick of
this new structure was placed in
position, and the corner stone was
laid on October 20, 1888, little
over one year ago. 1t was then very
freely intimated that fully three
years would he occupied in the COM
pletion of the buildings, but this
has been done in less than fifteen,
months and to-day the Spreckels'
Sugar Refinery in Philadelphia was
started into operation.

rHt WHARFAGE ACcoNMobArioS

Running TO the Refinery property
are three distinct lines Of railroad,
forming direct communication with
every section of the country. On
the river are three wharves, each 80
feet wide and GOO feet long. Here
dozen of the largest ships and
steamers can load or discharge at
the same time, there being ample
depth Of water Mt the lowest tide.
The wharvcs are covered IN, form
ing immense warehouses where the
raw sugar can be received and stor.
ell in bond, or delivered without
handling into the melting pans. A
conveyor runs along the whole
length of the dock carrying GO tons
Of sugar to the pans at speed of
lS feet per minute. The whole of
the buildings are lighted with incan-
descent lights, Of the Westinghouse
alternating system, supplied from n
central station, on the ground. An-
tomato prinklers for protection
against fire are distributed through
out the buildings, and everything
has been done to make the Spreck
els Sugar Refinery in Philadelphia
the best equipped and most econom-
icaIly worked, as well As the largest
in the world.

FIFTEEN MILES OF MATERIAL.

An idea of the quantity of mate
rial used i'm the construction of the
buildings may be gathered from the
fact that it filed 1887 cars. This
is in addition to what was delivered
on the wlarves by water, and wha,
was hauled on the grounds by wag-
Ons. These, 2,3SI cars, each 33
feet in length, would form cOntin-
ued line OF 1877 feet, or 1851
yards. or all unbroken train of
freight cars almost fifteen miles IN
length. In addition to this the blue
prints measured | ,O5G feet in
length, or $3.50 yards-rather more
than two miles OF drawings and de-
signs.

SOME INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS.

An idea of the immensity of the
work may be gathered from the fact
that fully 20,000,000 of bricks
have been required in the construc-
tion of the buildings, which range
from three to thirteen stories high.
The pan house contains four vacuum
pans, weighing 720 tons, with an
aggregate heating surface Of 1900
square feet. In this building alone
there has been consumed 1000 tons
of wrought iron and G5n tons of
cast iron. The finishing house con-
tains 2j0 tons of wrought iron work
and $50 tons of cast iron; the
boiler house $50 tons Of wrought
iron and 2j0 tons of cast iron; the
iiltering houses 2200 tons Of, cast
iron ond 1900 tons of wrought iron.
There arc 96 char filters, weighing
2000 tons, and 4S char wash tanks,
weighing over 900 tons, also AZ char
kilns and retOrts containing 2OOO tons
of iron.

HANDLING THE coal.

HANDLING HE 'oAI..
The steam generating plant is
most important, as well rs being
most expensive. The boilers are
the Babcock & Wilcox, Of the water
tube type, divided into a number of
separate batteries, amounting to
$500 horse power. Every known
Improvement to economize fuel
has been applied. The Low
cock economizing apparatus has
been employed, and the coal is
elevated by machinery to storage
bunker, situated above the boil
ers whence it is delivered by
shutes to the Roney Mechanical
stokers, and by these automatically
supplied to the furnaces. The spend
coal, OF ashes, as made, are mechan-
ically conveyed to an elevator and
delivered into an elevated receiving
bin from whence they are discharg-
ed into railroad cars on either side
of the boiler-housc.
THE BARREL FACTORY.
The barrel factory, which will b(
able to turn out ii, 900 barrels daily
is the largest and most completed,
equipped IN the United States. |,
is of three stories high, with dry
kilns, boiler and engine rooms indie
pendent of the main buildings. As
many as 1000, 900 slaves can ht
placed in the drying kilns at one
time, the blowers for circulating the
hot air being driven by separate
engine. Conveyors are arranged to
automatically carry the barrels from
the factory to the finishing room. A
large quantity of cooperage stock i
now on hand, and several hundred
ear loads are on The way from thu
| West.
The actual total cost of the whole OF
the buildings, machinery and silt
has not been definitely stated, but 1t
is safe to essnme that it will amount
10 more than 81, 600, 900.

THE NEW JERSEY TRAGEDY,

me Excitement Over the Murder Of Mrs.
Miller At MerchantTil;e. -. J.,Continues
I'd Grow-Gore Evidence A.: iinst Lingo,
the Negro Suspected of the Crime
Other CIews Unearthed.
CAMDEN, \. j., Oct. 2.-The excite
ment in Merchantville and vicinity
continues to increase as day by day
goes by without getting much nearer
| tho solution OF the Miller mystery than
on the day of tile discovery of the MUIR
der. This excitement seems fast APP
preaching fever heat. and a PROPOSE
tian has been started to call a meeting
OF tI9Se interested and petition the
Governor &c lend whatever assistance
lies in his power to the authorities OF
this county in unraveling the mystery.
Many OF the more prominent men in
/ the borough. as we'll as influential
farmers living in the surrounding coun-
try, favor such scheme, and the field
seems ripe for the movement to be
made. What the result of this talk
will be remains to be seen.
Lawyers Jess and Taylor finally Sc
cured admission to Francis Lingo yes
I terday morning. Soon after the negro
was committed to Jail they were re-
tanned as his counsel. and since then
have been making strenuous efforts TO
gain access to their client in order to
get his statement, but were refused by
the prosecuting attorney. Lawyer Tay-
Tor says that he firmly believes in
Lingo's innocence of the crime
Two or three important clews in con-
nection with the murder OF Mrs. Miller
were unearthed yesterday, two of which
will tend to fasten the chain OF circum-
stantial evidence still closer around
Lingo. The first new i'm portant person
in the case is Mrs. Riggs, wife of G. w.
Riggs, whose residence is nearly oppo-
site that occupied by that of the family
of the late VIM Miller, father OF the
husband of the murdered woman. Her
statement is very concise and is to the
effect that on the afternoon of the muir
der of Mrs. Miller she saw Lingo and
spoke to him as he went down the road
and entered the brush where the body
of the murdered woman was found. 1t
was between the hours of two and three
o'clock. She saw him again the same
afternoon, but it was some time after
wards.
Another important link in the chain
ot evidence is that furnished BY Ruth
Moore. 1t is to the effect that she saw
Mrs. Miller walk down the road to-
wards the bushes and take the path
through them-the short cut which
led to her home. This was shortly
after two o'clock.
The statements of these two persons
prove conclusively that Lingo must
have walked down the road and en-
tered the patch of brush in advance Of
Mrs. Miller; that he evidently knew
that she was going to make the short
cut across the patch to her home, and
he proceeded in advance and probably
intercepted her. If he committed the
murder, that remains to be proven. but
the links, as above stated. secm tc be
forging the chains of evidence tigh Ter
and tighter around his nesk.
