a Sui, Against ,he BROOKLYN bridge.


In short time the most important
damage suit that has ever been brought
against the Brooklyn bridge will be
tried It is for 81 200, 900. and will in
yolve some nice points of law. A
Franco-American inventor named Du
Bois is bringing the suit. He claims
that in sinking the caissons of the bridge
certain patents belonging to him were
infringed upon, and that without the use
of his inventions the bridge could not
have been successfully built. So i'm
portant does District Attorney Clarke
consider the case, and of such grave
moment to the interests of the two cit
les, that at his request the services of a
well known patent lawyer have been
secured as counsel, and he has al
ready received from the bridge 81, 900 as
"a retaining fee.
There is an interesting story told OF
Bridge Secretary Henry Beam in con-
nection with the sinking of these cais-
sons. He says that it was at first in
tended by the bridge engineers to sink a
regular Golfer dam, and on this place the
big piles that support the bridge struc-
ture, but that William e. Kingsley op
posed this plan, giving as his reasons fol
SO doing that no ordinary Golfer dam
would hold ia the fierce currents of the
East river. Then it was that the sink
ing of the caissons was decided upon
In other words, they used a Golfer dam
not in the regular fashion. but upside
down. And now the wooden box rests
on a bed of rock forty feet below the
bottom of the river.
Mr.. Beam saws that Mr. Kingsley
would have been the last man in the
world to have allowed the invention O
another man to be used in the con
struction of the bridge without paying
him for it. and that if Du Bois' patents
were infringed upon it was by acciden
and because the bridge engineers did no
know that that style of Golfer dam hat
been patented. Eagle.

through Charlottenburg is 600, most of
whom are going to America. Relatives
are waiting ready to provide for some
of them in Paris and for few in Lon.

of the Dichetocloff committee, says the
committee suffers from no lack of funds,
money and goods being freely given,
while number of refugees are already

where groups of Jews, including well.

streets under the escort of gendarmes,
going to the police station before they
are started for the frontier. The We'd.

ties, obliged carpet manufacturers to
advance the prices of carpets after the
passage of the Mckinley bill-an adj
vance on all-wool carpets of about 10
per cent The effect of an increased
cost OF wool is at once to give an adj

The increase of price by the manu-
faeturers may not have been fully felt
in the retail shops, because on staple
articles the retailer is slow to advance
prices until his old stock is gone, anc
because his margin OF profit enabled
him still to sell without loss, which was
not the case with the manufacturers, OF
because he substituted for the all-wool
carpets those with a greater or less pro
portion of cheap substitutes for wool

M'KiNLEYISM IN CARPETS.

A Leading Manufacturer on the Carpet
Wool Tax-It Makes Higher Prices and
Puts Cotton and Shoddy in Carpets-An
Arraignment of McKinleyism by One
Who Knows.
When anyone who is not engaged in
manufacturing criticises our high tariff
policy the McKinleyites brush aside his
objections with contempt What does
he know about manufacturing" they
ask. "IIe is not in practical business;
he talks like a college professor. His
opinion does not count"
But when manufacturer himself ar
raigns our absurd tariff laws his opinion
counts Such manufacturer is Arthur
J. Lyman, of the lowell Manufacturing
Co of Boston, Mass, who is one of the
foremost carpet manufacturers in the
country and is the very highest author
ity on all questions pertaining to car
pets and the carpet trade.
Mr.. Lyman has recently stated the
case of the carpet manufacturers
against the tariff as follows: Sub
stantially all of the wool used in MAX
ing carpets comes from abroad end
chiefly from Russia, Asia Minor, Persia,
India and South America. These wools
are chiefly long, coarse WOODS, and be-
ing raised under favorable natural con-
ditions, and by people whose modes of
life are very inexpensive, they are of
very low cost, The necessity for rev.
enue from any and every source during
the civil war after time caused con-
siderable duty to be placed on carpet
woods, avowedly for revenue. When
the war was over and the debt had been
greatly reduced, and many taxes were
taken off, this heavy tax on car
pet woods was unfortunately left. 1t
had not caused the raising of carpet
woods in this country, because other
woods and other products could be
raised to much greater advantage, and
because the conditions existing here
were not favorable. ...
The tax on this admirable material
considerably increased the cost of the
carpets used so largely by the people.
Of course the temptation to cheaper
the fabric by the mixture of substitutes
for wool was great. But until within
few years the machinery employed
would not admit of the extensive use
of what has of late years been used in
enormous quantities, the cheap cattle
hair, pretty much like that used for
mixing with mortar. The ingenious
machines lately invented enabled man
ufacturers to use enormous quantities
of cheap hair, cheap until the enor-
nous demand for it with the increased
duties of the Mckinley bill on wool,
made it almost as costly, though not
nearly as good, as wool itself Cotton
was used largely for the warps in place
of worsted
The Mckinley bill seems to have a
special spite against carpet woods, aud
those who wish to make or use wool
carpet All noils (the short fibers of
wool largely used for the weft of ear
pets) were excluded by the monstrous
duty of thirty cents per pound (aOO and
500 per cent in many cases), and the
tax on other materials was greatly in
creased. Moreover, the antiquities of
the law and some rather forced con-
structions Of It by the treasury depart
ment have still further increased costs,
and 80 multiplied doubts AMI questions
that there are few kinds of carpet wool
the duty on which can be surely known.
