The Eeoleston Murder.

For the past two or three weeks
the Bridgeport Comical- Union has
been calling the editors of the Neva-
da papers liars, etc. for publishing
an item then going the rounds that a
man named Watkins was accused OF
killing Mrs. Eggleston in Antelope
valley. When it transpired that Mr..
Watkins did not commit the crime,
all the Nevada papers gave publicity
to his statement that he was in no
way implicated in it. That was all
they could do In it's issue of March
31st the Union intimatcd in unmista-
BILE language that Mrs Strickland
had committed the crime 1t said,
by inuendo, much more about Mrs.
Strickland than most of the Nevada
papers said about Watkins. Again
in its last issue it says; . After q
close examination of the charge
against O. II. Strickland and wife of
numbering Mrs. Alkaline Eggleston
in Antelope valley, Justice L. A.
Murphey on Wednesday afternoon
rendered his decision, and ordered
the discharge of the defendants,
there not being sufficient evidence
to warrant their commitment for
trial in the Superior Court.
Nov II the Nevada editors were SO
disposed they could accuse the editor
of the Bridgeport sheet Of trying to
fasten a brutal crime on an innocent
woman, and if they were blackguards
they would say to that editor: You
are liar =

Paper spindies.

The introduction of paper spindles
for yarn spinning, thus avoiding the
objection to the great weight of steel
as heretofore used. is said to have
proved decided advantage, and the
process of manufacture is described
as follows: A quantity of common
pulp stock is run into molds the shape
of a spindle. no attention being given
to the whirl at this stage, and the
cast of the molds is such that a spin
die is produced about four times the
required size in diameter
In the process of hardening the
soft, flabby spindle is placed in com
press, as it is termed-a sort of hy-
draulic device in which force pump
is employed to give an enormous
pressure. The spindle is placed sin
gly IN a peculiar shell arrangement,
so made that, by revolving certain
screws in the side compress upon the
spindle from all sides, the latter is
squeezed into a compartment about
ne-quarter its original size. The
hydraulic power is used in making
the apparatus ty,rn, which gives mo-
ton to the numerous screws. When
compression of the spindle is com.
pleted, a perfectly formed, hard,
tough. substantial one is produced.
and when dried and polished the sur.
face Is said TO be as hard as metal.
The whirls are next made Again
the moids are used, and the same
method of COMPRISING is applied,
the result being whirls of great
strength and firmness New York
