IN TINE PAPER TRADE.
4 Monster American Machine Ordered BY
an English Company.

Members of the paper trade in this
country have been watching with in
terest for the past two years the ten
dency of foreign papermakers to adopt
the American process. Some months
ago two large Fourdrinier papermaking
machines We're exported from this
country to Norway and Sweden, and a
few days ago an order for one of the
largest machines ever made was placed
with the Bagley & Sewall Company Of
WATERFOWL. this state. by represen-
lative of The Daily Chronicle Com
oany of London.
This papermaking machine. which is
expected to be ready for shipment next
January. is believed to be the first pa
per machine of Importance to go into
England from any other country. 1t
will. weigh from 125 to $50 tons. and
viii be completely of American manu-
facture. The machine is to be 131
rches wide. and equipped with every
modern device. including thirty large
Trying cylinders. 1t will be set up in
The Daily Chronicle paper mill, at
sittingbourne England, and the con-
.ract requires that it shall be ready for
operation by the first of next April.
The two Fourdrinier paper machines
-hich were sent to Scandinavia from
wilmington. Del. have, it is reported,
given satisfaction to their purchasers.
md they have helped to make the
scandinavian papermakers formidable
competitors of the American paper
makers in the British markets Eng
.ish manufacturers have been buying
yood pulp of Norway and Sweden for
several years, but lately the Scandana-
-ians have found it more profitable to
urn the pulp into paper at home and
,xport the finished product instead OF
he raw material.
The Scandinavian paper now meets
he products of the American and the
English mills in the London market
m about even terms. These facts were
gathered by a New York papermaking
,xpert who recently completed an ex-
ensive tour through Norway and Swe-
len.

C. Philbrook for plaintiff, S. S. Brown
for defendant. The parties to this suit
reside in Benton, the plaintiff being
foreman of a section crew on the
Maine Central Railroad, the defendant
a farmer. The plaintiff says the de-
PENDANT has libeled him. for which he
claims damages in the sum of $500, al
leging that he has always stood well
with his employers until this He says
the libel was contained in a letter
written and sent to Manager Tucker
of the Maine Central Co.. which was
produced in court, the libellous part
being as follows:
Il wish to know if you allow your
section men to steal their tirewood in
the woods along the line of your road.
They go in the woods, cut trees, and
take them away on their hand-car. out
where they can get at it with a team
and haul it home. Laforest Sanborn,
Lester Wood and Joseph Smith make
anything they can find, whether it is
fireWocd or lumber to make wagon
sleds. Now this is a bold statement
but I can prove it by men in your en-
ploy. A little of this does very well
but it gets stale after a while. Now
l wish to say if this business is not
stopped. and that directly, there will
be music on this section and Sanborn
will be brought up with a short
halter"
The plaintiff claimed that this letter
was untrue and was written with NAL
ice. The defendant pleads the truth
of his assertion as justification, and
claims it was not done through malice.
He also claims that at most it is
simply a charge of trespass.
The defendant was proceeding with
his testimony when court adjourned.
