lNDuRATED FIBRE.
Rebuilding of the Mills at Lockport, N. Y
Prosperity of the Industry.

1t will be remem bered that about three
weeks ago the large manufacturing plant
of the United Indurated Fibre Company,
situated at Lockport, New York, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. Fortunately the
company was fully insured, and imme-
diate steps were taken to rebuild the
mills, but on account of their largely in
creasing business the capcity of the mill
is to be double that of the old. That the
work is being pushed with vigor is
apparent from the following extract
from the Lockport Union of August 23d:
Great progress is being made with the
new buildings of the Indurated Fibre
Company, and an army of workmen are
employed there. One gang of men is en-
gagged in laying the railroad tracks to the
new works and it is nearly completed,
another large gang is making excava-
tions for the new buildings A procession
of teams are hauling stone, sand and
cement, the masons are working as close
together as possible Oh the walls which
are creeping upward with great rap1dlty.
A large force of carpenters are at work
framing the timbers for the. interior and
everything looks fayora BILE for the COM
pletion of the plant in November.
Many people in this city are interested
in this industry, which originated here.
The company is also doing large bust
ness in it's mill at North Gorham, Me-,
where it has extensive works which are
now being enlarged The demand for the
fibre pals and other ware made at these
mills was never so large as at present.

RlaBY PARK.
Arrival of Autograph and Others of Litch-
fields String.

Yesterday wasn't very good day for
trotting parks, but notwithstanding the
storm, Mr.. George A. Litchf1eld of Mus
ter Hill Farm, North Braintree, Mass,
sent down Autograph to Rigby Park
with string of four other well known
horses. Autograph is the handsomest,
best and fastest trotting son of Alcantara
sire of Spiers, and has a record of 2. II.
He is beautiful bay, of good size, very
handsome, stylish and fast. With Auto
graph and string came his trainer. James
Brady, who was Kremlins trainer. Mr..
Brady was perfectly delighted with the
track, and is satisfied that MIR. w. Rus
sell Allen, of the Allen Farm, Pittsfeld,
Mass, will send his string here, which
includes Kremlin. POI 3-4; Lancelot,
1928 1-2; Unkamet, 2.27 81; America,
223 1-2, and others.
There is no doubt that the October
meet at Rieby will be one of the great
est events in turf annals that was ever
recorded in this country

LOST ON JOCKEY CAP.
Mrs. DR.. Sylvester and Friend Rescued by
a Searching Party.

Last Sunday afternoon, during the ses-
sion of the New Jerusalem convention
at Fryeburg, Mrs. DR.. Sylvester of this
city and lady friend made a trip up
famed Jockey Cap. On their way up the
mountain they found several of their
friends coming down who had enjoyed
the ascent Nothing more was thought
about the matter until night, when Rev.
Mr.lSpiers, pastor of the society in Port
land. entered the church and said moth
ing had been seen of Mrs. Sylvester and
friend since the early afternoon, and that
they were probably lost on the noun
tain.
A search party was organized, partici-
pated in by Rev. Mr.. Spiers, Mr.. @. D.
Livermore, manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Company in Portland, and
others. A lantern and horn were carried
along and the ascent of the mountain be-
gan. After quite long search the ladies
were discovered about II p. M, sitting
not far from the roadside, where they
had renamed for five hours. Mrs. Syl-
vester said they lost their way and she
thought it better to sit down and wait
for rescue than to wander around and
perhaps get hopelessly lost

Labor Day Parade.

A communication was received in
this city yesterday morning from Red
stone, n. H., stating that President Pay
Granite company, had decided to put two
floats into the parade, each drawn by six
handsome horses, each horse will be pro-
vided with new blankets with the name
of Union at Redstone on them and be
provided with handsome plumes. The
floats will be, decorated with bunting,
and on one will be placed quarrymen at
work, and on the other granite cutters
at work. Mr.. Tucker has also offered to
furnish carriages for the use of the.
officers of the Redstone Union.
The Cigar Makers Union will put five
floats in the parade representing the
filthy tenement house shop, the prison
shop, the Chinese factory, a clean Ulfion
shop and have a large copy of the union
label on the fifth. The carpenters will
put in two floats, representing an old log
cabin, and model of a modern building
The painters and decorators, machinists,
seamen, bicyclers, shoe workers and
others will also put floats into the
parade. The Lady Stitchers' Union of
Portland and the Lady Stitchers' and
Weavers' Union of Lewiston and Auburn
will ride in barges in the parade.
Mr.. Myrick, shoe cutter in one of the
Auburn shops, is organizing team to
represent the Lewiston and Auburn Cen
trail Labor Union in the base ball con-
test with the Portland Central Labor
Union on Labor day. A prize of S25 is
offered for the winning team. Mr..
Myrick says that he will probably select
nine shoe workers with which to down
the Portlands, as shoe workers are con-
coded to be better ball players than men
from other trades unions The Lewiston
and Auburn carpenters and masons'
unions will march in the local parade
the morning of Labor day, but will go
only as far as Portland with the general
excursion. These unions will go to
Harpswell, taking the Waterville band
along. An interesting programme of
sporting events is being arranged.
