MANUFACTURE OF CEN ENT.
Capt. Pcdrick will start Up the
Springer Mill.

Capt. Pedriok, of Springer, now at the
Palace hotel in this city, has faith enough
In the future business prospects of the in
coming administration to launch an en-
terprise of great interest to New Mexi-
cans, that has been at stand-etill for the
past three years. He intends starting up
soon the hydraulic cement works at
Springer. This mill has been idle for the
past three years during which time the
demand for cement has been so limited,
together with the influx of imported CO.
ment in ballast with cheap rates from
Galveston, that there has been but little
encouragement to operate it, notwith-
standing the fact that the plant and it's
facilities rank among the best in the
country.
For municipal work Capt. Pedrick
formerly had the whole field against him
In natural dement's with Louisville, Mil.
waukee and Akron, N. Y, cement agents
aggressively engaged in corralling in
spectors Of public works with false
claims of equality in the product, SO that
at one time he had Santa Fs train load
of cement cars with demurrage charges
OF over 800 per day piled up against
him at Denver by condemning report of
supervising engineer, whom Mil
waukee cement manufacturer had control
of.
He says at present the situation il
changed and the outlook better. New
paving and sewer contracts are in order
while foreign capital is again becoming
interested in new reservoir and irrigation
projects requiring more or less cement,
one OF the largest being at Fort Selden
this territory.
Capt. Pedrick is protectionist from
away back, having when boy enjoyed
writing protection essays for E. b. Ward,
noted iron manufacturer of Detroit.
The captain says he has been hit in the
neck severely with his sheep interests but
he is taking his medicine patiently.

Capt. Graham, who is the repre-
sentative of those interested in the
new hosiery mill recently established
at Hopkins. now to be brought to
Columbia, yesterday talked interest
ingly of the removal. He said that
the mill was located at Hopkins in
order to utilize the negro labor which
was 80 abundant in that vicinity. He
went on to say that they had given
the negro labor thorough test and
found that it was absolutely unified
for the mill. In fact the negroes
proved lazy and slow. and did not
seem to '.casch on" no matter how
mucn instruction was given. With
a full force be found that the
mill was steadily losing money. Then
he cut the force to see if by opera
ting only a portion of it,
giving close attention to those en-
ployed, the mill could not be made to
earn expenses This experiment also
failed to make expenses, and short
time ago he shut the mill down alto

He will now move the mill to
Columbia and use only white labor.

Once More Garrisoned by
Federal Troops:

Charleston. s. c., Oct 22.-Bat-

now quartered on SulIivan's Island.
The garrison arrived here on the
steamer Planter last night from st.
Francis barracks at St Augustine.
Fla
The rank and file number 81 men
Oo the Planter were the families Of
several of the officers, which made
the party number 81 in all.
The Planter left ST. Augustine at
10 o'clock Wednesday morning, but
in consequence Of the rough weather,
Capt. Hubbard decided to lay over
several hours at Fernandina, which
delayed the arrival of the steamer
here The Planter reached quaran-
tine station between 8 and 9 o'clock
last night. Capt Hubbard decided
to remain at the station until this
morning. rather than bring the party
up to the city and take them down
to the Island to day In accordance
with Capt Hubbard's plan, the
steamer left the station at 8 o'clock
this morning and carried the soldiers
and the party to Sullivan's Island.
It was not long after the arrival Of
the troops at Sullivan's Island be-
fore the tents began going up all
over the parade ground and in 40
hour or two everything in camp cir
cles had been put to rights and it
was difficult matter for visitor to
the parade grounds to have told that
the troops had not long been landed
The families of the officers we're
given quarters in several of the gov
ernment houses. which were turned
into very comfortable domiciles in a
few hours after the furniture and eff
fects had been discharged on the
wharf
The troops and the entire party
were given hospitable reception by
the residents of the island upon their
arrival. The operetlon Of putting up
the tents and arranging the camping
quarters were an interesting sight
and was witnessed by number Of
people
There were no drills or manoeuvres
held to-day. The rules and regula-
tions of camp were somewhat lax
to. day and it will probably be day
or two before things become system
stized and truly military The need
of a band will be sorely felt, but it
is thought that in month or two,
when the garrison is increased, q
band will be sent to the island and
things enlivened considerably.
Capt. 81. w. Hubbell is the COM

next in command are First Lieut. F.

Mormon Troubles
BEING AIRED BEFORE q.
S. COMMISSIONER JEN-
NINGS.

Yesterday afternoon before United
States Commissioners 81. F. Jennings.
at bis Office in this city, was heard a
story told by witnesses which makes
another interesting chapter in the
history of the Mormon troubles iu
Fairfield county. The complainant
in the case is W. w. Collins, a Nor
mon elder, who resides near Ridge
way. He charges Mr. R. W. Hollis,
neighbor who is not Mormon,
bat who, by the way. is the super
visor of registration of the county,
with opening a letter addressed to
him.
Quite Aumber of citizens of Fair
field county and Mormons came
down to attend the hearing
Some of the testimony was taken.
1t appears that it 10 the custom in the
nelghborhood for anyone who goes to
town to get the mail for his neigbbors
An old man, Mr.. David Bran
ham, in this instance got two
letters One was for Hollis and
the other for Collins He gave them
to his little grandson to take to the wo.
men. The boy gave both to Hollis
Hollis, it seems, kept one and handed
back the other 1t was Collins's let
ter that he kept The evidence was
that he tore it open and wrote on it
ater "opened by mistake aud hand
ed it to friend. Out of this grew
the prosecution
Hollis claims that he did not notice
the direction and did not know he
had the wrong letter until he opened
and began to read it, Then he dis
covered his error and put the letter
back in the envelope.
Mr.. Williams of Fairfield and John
T Duncan. Esq of this place are the
attorneys engaged in the case Mr..
Williams addressed the commissioner
at some length yesterday afternoon,
dwelling upon the Mormon persecu
tions in Fairfield. The hearing will
be continued to-day State, Oct 2l.
