men-No Sword Fish Yet.

A small mackerel shark, handsome
little fellow, weighing about fourteen
pounds was brought into Harry Sargent s
yesterday. 1t was caught in drag net
off Half Way Rock. These sharks cut up
nets and trouble fishermen greatly.
No sword fish are coming into the Port
land market yet. The Portland vessels
are yet to the southwark and are taking
their catches into Boston. Probably they
will be getting down this way mkt
month.
The Julia E. Wayland, has been making
quite little strike in mackerel off Half
Way Rock. Monday she came in with
forty barrels, and Tuesday with fifty
barrels. She sold to J. W. Trefethen and
stocked about a thousand dollars for the
two days work. The Wayland is a
Gloucester vessel.

bay route, will come to Portland on
Thursday and start on her first trip from

ALL ABOUT SPOOLS.
A Forest Required Every Year to Supply
the Wood for the Spool Mills of Scot
land.

4 Mr.. Robert Bennett of Gilead, Me, is al
one of the Grand Trunk wharyes lookine
after the big consignment of spool WOOD
made by his brother j. w. Bennett, te
parties in Scotland. A spool seems but &
small thing, but the making of them re
quires the work of many men, and good
sized Maine forest is used up every year
in their manufacture.
The work must all be done in the
winter, and early spring, for the wood
must be ready for shipment before June
or else it is liable to stain, and be useless.
Mr.. Bennett employs about one hundred
men in the woods, and about that mum.
lumber to the mills
1t goes to Scotland in strips four feet
wide and varying from an inch and a
sixteenth, to four and a half inches
square. In that shape it is brought here
for shipment, and Mr.. Bennett is for.
warding the wood now for cargo for a
steamer expected from Scotland. 1t will
require ninety cars to bring the wood
here, and the steamer will take over $780,
600 feet of the lumber Mr.. Bennett re-
Gently sent over 400, 600 feet, taken out by
bark that loaded here. In addition to
the above the Berlin Falls. lumber dealers
will, this year, send about 100000 feet
of these strips over to Scotland These
spools are required by the manufacturers
of thread, and there are great spool
mills in Scotland despite the fact that all
the great thread manufacturers have
branch houses on this side of the Atlantic.
The demand for spool wood is large
here. Mr.. Bennett commonly sells about
1900, 900 feet every year to the domestic
manufacturers, and the demand is in
creasing. There is no birch timber in
Scotland that is fit for the purpose, and
for the past twenty five years the business
has been constantly increasing in Maine,
until it has reached large proportions.
1t is not destined to last many years
however, as the birch timber is getting
scarce, and the land does not grow up
rapidly. Land that was cut over twenty
gan is now we'll covered with thrifty
young trees, but it will take twenty-five
years more before they will be fit to cut
The land will be valuable even with that
slow process of waiting for the timber to
grow The trees sprout as soon as cut,
and require no watching. The lumber
men will have to go further back into the
mountains, and wait for the trees to
grow again. The land cut over this year
will not know the woodman's axe for the
next fifty years. Poplar trees renew them
selves in about twenty five to thirty
years

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Daniel Ferguson Thrown From His Cart
and Picked Up Unconscious.

At about 5 40 p. m. yesterday Daniel
Ferguson, an estimable young man. who
drives team in the employ of Albert
Brackett, the box manufacturer on Ken
nebec street, was driving down Elm
street. He had a cart loaded with grass
and rubbish that he was taking down to
the dump" When crossing Oxford
street the hold-back broke and the cart
rolled down upon the horse, which be-
came frightened and ran down the steep
hill at break-neck speed. He crossed
Kennebec street and ran into Rumery &
Libby's planning mill, smashing the cas-
ing of window and breaking the glass.
Mr.. Ferguson was either thrown off
there or jumped, as some say,ssjust before
reaching the building. He struck on
his head in the road and when picked
up he was unconscious. There was
big bruise over his eye and blood was
flowing from his ears. He was carried
into the mill at first and DR.. Pudor was
summoned. He was soon after carried
to the house of his employer, Mr.. Brack-
EFT, on the corner OF, Cedar and Lincoln
streets. He did not recover consciousness
for over twenty minutes and then was
only semi-conscious. Dr. Pudor said
that he feared conclusion of the brain.
The horse was not injured, neither
was the cart The runaway continued
down Kennebec street, then up Cedar,
across through Lincoln and down Elm
again and then ran to it's stable near the
box factory on Kennebec street.
