Silk Mill Notes.

Work In all the different branches at
the new silk mill is being rapidly pushed
to completion. The two new engines
Tor the power house have arrived and
been placed upon their foundations.
They are certainly the finest specimens
to be found In this section, IL not In the
entire state. They were manufactured
by the American Engine Co. at Bound
Brook. N. j., and this fact alone should
be all the recommendation required.
The dynamo Is also in position and
the electricians will probably complete
their work In the course OF q few DAYS.
The mill will be lighted throughout
with incandescent lights and will pre-
sent magnificent sight when the time
arrives for their use.
The last car load of looms has arrived
and have been placed in position, and a
large force Is now at work fitting them
up with their different attachments.
The auxiliary machinery, consisting
OF winders, quillers, dOublers, redraw-
Ing frames, Wrappers, beamers, etc, will
soon be In position. This machinery
was all manufactured by Atwood Nor
rison Co., OF StOningtOn, Conn. They
being tho largest manufacturers OF silk
machinery exclusively in the United
States. Their representative, who is
here for the purpose Of erecting and
putting In running order their ma
chinery and whose entire time Is devot-
cd to this class of work, states that in
structure and equipment this is one OF
the finest mills throughout he has ever
seen and bespeaks for the people OF
the town an enterprising and profitable
industry, and as for the management,
he declares it to be OF the highest type.
He also states that business throughout
silk centers is in the best shape II has
been for years, with prices rapidly on
the increase.
The mill will be complete and prob
ably running in a week, and subscribers
are requested TO deposit their subscrip-
tions at either bank in the city within
that time.

School Opened Monday.

After four months Of vacation the
boys and girls Of this borough began
school work Monday morning Tor an
eight month term. Some Of the pupils
took up the work with pleasure, while
Others would rather run the streets and
idle the time away than to study and
secure an education. Our schools have
reached such n standard that the pupil
who goes through an eight month term
without making advancements along
educational lines has only himself to
blame.
The first day Of school last year there
were GA pupils enrolled. The first day
of this term, Monday, there were 600
enrolled.
Following are the teachers for the
present term: Prof. G. w. Lenkerd,

BILL PASSED.

Washington, January 1s.-The House
committee on commerce to-day voted to
report the anti-scalping, bill in the form
Of "a substitute prepared by MIR. Sherman
of New York. The substitute follows the
general linesof the original bill, with
some additional features. 1t places a
penalty on railroad officers who deal with
scalpers. Heretofore the plan had been
to hold the corporation liable, but the
new provision extends the liability to
officials making them subject to mis-
demeanor. fine or imprisonment on con-
viction. A new paragraph is inserted
making it unlawful for general passenger
agents to supply tickets to other than
authorized ticket agents. Another substi-
tute provision provides that unused
tickets shall be redeemed at any time
within one year. Any company falling to
redeem a ticket is made liable in civil
action to a penalty of 500 in excess OF
the redemption money on the ticket. Mr.
Sherman will write the report and present
1t tomorrow.
