The Rails Spread.

There was a slight accident happened
to the train due over the Boston & Maine
from Boston about p m. yesterday. A
passenger reported that the train was de-
layed about twenty minutes by the rails
spreading this side of Old Orchard and
two of the cars getting partially off the
irons. No one was hurt although some
what shaken up. The cars were got into
position with some difficulty and pro-
ceeded. Inquiry at the station last eve
ming failed to get any information as the
officials who were present said no one
knew anything about any accident at
that place.

portland,s steamship BUSINESS.

Speaking of the excellent business Of
the Maine Steamship company, Inter
national and Boston lines, Mr.. J. B.
Coyle says: One point especially interest
ing to Maine is this: Every year the
business at the Maine end Of this line
shows proportionate increase over that
at the other end. For instance, a few
years ago so many of our passengers from
New York got off at Cottage City that
from there to Portland our boats were
rather lightly peopled; but now great
many more of them pass Cottage City
and come through to Portland, distribute
ing themselves over the state.

Fisk & Golf, wholesale and retail cloth
iers of Boston, decided about a month
ago to retire from business at 7S2 and 7S4
Washington street. That was compare
lively easy thing to do. Twas one thing
to decide to retire, but quite anothersto
decide how to do it; that is, how to dis
pose of their stock, which was unusually
large and of a very high quality. 'Twas
suggested that an auction be held; also
that they advertise for bids through their
jobbing trade, but finally twas decided
that they should close it out at retail
through their store in Boston and retail
branches giving the public the same
chance to secure first class, well-made
clothing at jobbers' prices. Uncle Sans
Clothing Co., corner of Middle and
Union, Portland, Me-, have received two
large shipments of it and are following
the Instructions to the letter as far as
prices are concern ned, and the immense
business they are doing is evidence of the
genuineness of the bargains as well as
the appreciation of values given, by the
public.

An USEFUL DE- VICE.
Machines Which Measure Auto
matically.
EXHIBITION OF THE WORK OF
PORTLAND INVENTORS.
Grocers and Grain Dealers Especially In
terested in the Portland Automatic

|
| Scale.
Mr.. f. E. Lovejoy and Mr.. E. N.
Bachelor, both of this city, are the in
ventors of an automatic scale, which is
not only wonderful for it's ingenuity and
simplicity, but remarkable fol
accuracy, ease and rapidity with
which it works. Both Messrs. Love
joy and Bachelor worked for many years
in the large store of Geo. G. Shaw & Co.
and while there became impressed with
the need of machine that would weigh
or measure automatically and at the same
time accurately, liquids and flowing
solids, such as grain, coffee, and all the
new forms of cereals.
| The result of their observation and
study is the Portland Automatic Scale,
which is now being manufactured in this
city, and is finding large sale wherever
introduced. The factory is at No. SO Ken
nebec street.
Six different styles of machine are
manufactured, all of which are included
in an exhibition which is to be sent to
Chicago, and which may now be seen at
No. 216 Middle street, next the Falmouth
Hotel. The machines are: An oil scale
for selling oil by weight; an oil meter for
selling oil by sealed measure; an oil
closet for selling oil measure in the small
Ter stores; grain scale for bagging pur-
poses; a package scale for use in packing
houses where Coffee baking powders and
J,,, 10 fry,
up lard in pals and tubs.
While the machines differ in form and
detail, one principle is used in them all.
| A receptacle, suspended by scale device,
receives the substance to be weighed
through valve which closes automati-
tipped the scale beam. As soon as the
scale beam tips and the upper valve clos
es lower valve opens, discharging the
| fluid or grain into the receptacle or pack
age. The admirable and valuable feature
of the device is the positive and accurate
operation, and the durability and sim
| plicity of the mechanism used. The pack
age machine will measured out rice,
wheat, or any of the solids at the rate OF
sixteen five-pound packages in minute,
working automatically all the time Tho
majority of these packages will be abso
lutely accurate, and no one of them will
vary over an eighth of an ounce. This is
remarkable accuracy for commercial.
scale.
| The liquid scales are equally accurate.
| The oil meter, which measures out by
quarts and gallons, is made on differ
ent principle the bulk and not weight
being ascertained. 1t consist of an upper
reservoir, discharging into series o.
measuring receptacles graduated in sssize
and compactly arranged, so that by turn
ing any one of several marked valves, any
required quantity of oil, from one quar-
to five gallons, may be discharged into
the receptacle.
The saving in time and labor effected
by these machines is SO great that NJ
grocer or grain dealer can afford to lei
| them pass uninspected.
