HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
Brought to Recover 100000 for
Breach of Contract.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT CASE.
. Debtor Who Claims He Was Unlaw-
fully Deprived of His Liberty-Ac-
ton for Damages on Trial.

E. NJ. Herrick, of San Francisco.
brought SO, 900 damage suit yesterday
In the United States court against W. A.
Harrington and Dexter Horton Co., as
result of the attachment of the Port Madi-
son Mill Company's property last January
sty Dexter Horton & Co., to recover an in
/ asbtedness of over SOS, 900.
The plaintiff alleges that W. P. Say
yri, the owner of the Port Madison
mills. was supposed to be indebted to the
sAfrm Of Harrington & Smith, of which w.
A. Harrington is the surviving member.
The firm received the products ofthe mills
and in their turn furnished supplies. The
lumber was consigned to the plaintiff at
San Francisco and he disposed of it as the
agent of Harrington & Smith.
This, the complaint says, was the con-
dition of affairs prior to November l, 1890,
when written agreement between the
plai,.tif and Harrington & Smith went
into effect. By its terms Sayward was to
eonsien the mill products direct to the
plaintiff at San Francisco and was to re-
ceive supplies for the mill from there
Harrington & Smith were not to proceed
sgainst sayward in the courts for his in

In force. Herrick was to pay $50, 900. down
and SIS, coo each month to Harrington a.
Smith, which amounts were to be credited
on the Indebtedness of the Port Madison
mills. The contract was to run for three
years.
The plaintiff claims that he fulfilled all
Of his obligations under the agreement.
but that Harrington e. Smith conspired
with Dexter Horton & Co. to violate
theirs and made an assignment of the
calm against Sayward to the bank. In
consequence. suit was brought against
eayward on January 6, and all the vessels
and other property at Port Madison were
seized. At that time Herrick says he was
being paid commission both for dlspos-
ing of the mill products and for purchas-
Ing supplies for the vessels and mills.
which, he alleges. amounted to $4,000 q
year. By the seizure of the vessels all this
trade was stopped and he lost his commits
sion. Furthermore, his credit with the
lumber merchants on the Coast was i'm
paired and he was compelled to refuse
large orders which would have been
greatly to his financial betterment. He
asks for 10000 damages.

Three American food plants. the In

American plant, though not food
producer, might be added to this list of

history even more remarkable than
that of the others; the Virginia weed"
has penetrated far beyond the bounds
of civilization. and made conquests
where the names of the other three
plants have scarcely been heard.

An Automatic Signal.

4 novel device, one which seems to
be regarded rs step at least in render
ing railroad travel safer than it is at
present, consists of an apparatus for
automatically signaling a train ut any
given station ON the line by the train
dispatcher at the directing point, which
may be hundreds of miles away from
the station at which ii is desired to dis
play the signal. The latter, however.
is not intended To take the place of an
operator; il is rather in the nature of
an emergency signal and check upon
the operator who may be engaged in
other duties away from his instrument
at the all important moment.
But not only this, the apparatus au
tomatically returns IA response TO the
dispatcher. indicating that the signal
has been set. and ut the same time a
bell is sounded To attract the attention
of the operator. who is in this way mott
fled that his immediate attention at the
wire is demanded This mechanism Is
flexible iii its application. and there are
many other important uses TO which il
can be put New York Sun.

A Remarkable Invention That Will Cut
Lumbar with "A Heavy Knife.

A Remarkable Invention That Will Cut
Lumber with "A Heavy Knife.
A new lumber cutting machine has
been tried at the works of lumber
cutting company ut Greenpoint, l.. !.
The experiment was highly success
full The machine, upon which DR..
Bradley and Thomas 5. Crane, of
Newark, have been working for the
past five years is AZ feet long, Is feet
wide and feet high. Its weight is
forty-fve tons. The object of the
invention, which may largely do
away with the use of buzz saws,
lis to economiZe time and lum-
Der itself The machine will take
Il log eight feet long and cut
boards from it mt the rate of forty a
minute of any width from 1-32 of an
inch to one inch i'll thickness. There
is not the slightest waste of material
in the cutting 1t is calculated that
when saws are used one-fourth of
the wood is wasted in sawdust and
planning if inch boards are being cut
In saving boards l-l6 of an inch in
thickness the loss is 2l5 per cent of
the boards turned out.
The knife is three feet long and
weighs 500 pounds. 1t works with a
draw motion. a sort of combination
of knife and saw, which prevents the
fibers of the wood from breaking.
The roller preceding the knife COM
presses the wood and aids in this
matter. which the inventors found
was the most difficult of the ends TO
be attained The knife is moved by
a wooden connecting rod, fastened to
wheel ten feet in diameter. Every
revolution of this wheel makes a
board.
The machine is fed by an apparatus
which is controlled by two screws
set in Babbit metal A chain gear
connects the two screws, so that they
move with absolute accuracy, thus
making the boards exactly the same
width from one end to the other A
system of cogs is SO arranged that by
changing the size of the cog wheel
the width of the board to be cut is
regulated. The total output of the
machine when in running order will
be from $4,000 to 100, 600 feet day.
The new invention, it is said, will
revolutionize the making of boards
for cigar boxes. backs of pictures,
butter boxes and the like Ash,
cherry, birch and Eastwood logs can
be cut The boards drop from the
blade as smooth as if rubbed with
sandpaper
With our saws" Mr.. Lewis said,
I'VE cannot cut dry lumber at all,
and this machine cuts anything.
Neither could our saws cut a board
l-32 of an inch in thickness as this
will. But the best thing it will ac-
complish will be the tremendous saw
ing in the wood itself"
DIR. Bradley and Mr. Crane have
persistently stuck to this project for
five years, and at last they think
their reward has come. The machine
will undoubtedly be introduced in all
the big lumber tracts of the country.
The logs can be fioated by stream
right down to it and then shipped
out TO civilization all ready for use as
boards Safety Valve.
