Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool looks very much like
cotton batting with little bits orglass
scattered through it. 1t lie made in this
way: There are two streams of Stag
(which is the scum from iron), one in
each side, and Jet of steam in be-
tween, and as the two streams of Flag
meet the steam the mineral wool ia
formed.
The blast that is used to send the Stag
over the steam comes with such force
that 1t sends the wool formed from the
Stag flying to all parts Of the building,
and some getting outside of the build
Ing makes 1t look as though il were
covered with snow.
As the wool flies around the little
PARTICLES of glass separate from il. and
as the Stag was redhot the pieces Of
glass are on fire, and they look like lit
tie stars flying around.
1t is used for packing around registers
and between walls. Il fsa nonoonductor

RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL
Capt. SimOnsOn Is Able to Be About
Some Interesting Statements.

Capt. Otto Simonson, who was in COM
mand of Company F, First Battalion of
District of Columbia Volunteers, and who
resigned because surgeons advised him
not to accompany the troops to Cuba,
was released yesterday from Garfield
Hospital
AS soon as Col. Harries accepted his
resignation, Capt. Simonson came 10
Washington directly and for about a week
he has been seriously i'll at the hospital.
The regimental surgeons gave him posi-
tive assurance that if he went to Cuba
it would be only a matter of few days
before his death would occur. He was
told al Tampa, when taken III there. and
sent TO the hospital that he might still
hold his commission and when the troops
left he might be sent 10 the division
hospital. He declined to do this because
he considered II would be unfair 10 the
lieutenants of his company who. by his
absence, would have to do all the work
and would not secure the benefit of a
promotion. Company F. under Capt. ST.
monson. was the first company to be
recruited among the District troops and
at Camp Alger il was considered one OF
the best drilled companies in the regi-
ment. @
Speaking of the condition of the Dis
trIct troops Capt Simonson yesterday
remarked: They are strong lot of men
and are well drilled in foot and gun
movements. They are lacking, though.
in target practice. This cannot be gained
by the firing of blank cartridges. and
many a man is ready togo TO the front
who never fired a shot at a target. Some
of those who are old guardsmen have had
such practice but Ii Is necessary to erect
targets and use solid ammunition to
equip men for good shooting. Blank
cartridge firing gives only service in the
movements of loading, unloading and
firing. He may be shooting entirely at
random for all the officers know.
THE District camp is located in as
good place around Tampa as can be
found. There is little shade. however.
and it is right on the burning sands where
few trees grow. Now that the practice
marches of ten miles q day have been
discontinued the privates have more time
than heretofore and are not much en-
gagged from II a. m. until p. m. Ever
since the troops went in service the regi-
ment has been without lieutenant colo
mel. This has been due to the desire of
the colonel TO secure an army officer from
the Regular Army. According to senior
ity. Major NJ. Emmet Urell of the First
Battalion, should be made the iieuterGnt

railroad Reoruanizution.

Baltimore, June 29.-The holders of the
s3,0oO,0 900 first preferred stock of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, of
which Johns Hopkins University is the
largest, have made no secret of their
dissatisfaction with the plan of reor-
ganization recently proposed by Messrs.
Speyer & Co.. and their associates
A suit is now pending before the United
States Supreme Court, in which the hold
ers of the preferred stock seeks to es-
tablish for these securities prior lien
over all others issued by the company,
not excepting first mortgage bonds. In
view of this fact they do not think they
should be required TO assent to the plan
until this suit has been decided, and with
that end in view they met in this city
yesterday and passed resolutions to that
effect adding request to the promoters
of the plan that they agree to defer ac-
ton until the supreme court shall have
passed upon thequestion.

New York, June 29.-The fiscal year

and foreign houses sold a small amount
of stocks here.
Notwithstanding these circumstances,
the market was entirely free from the
pressure that characterized the dealings
yesterday, and as, on the other hand, no
considerable commission house buying
was apparent, II is safe to assume that
the bulk of yesterdays selling was for
short account
The changed tone of the market was
doubtless to a great extent due to an ap-
parent reversal of market policy by one
of the larger operators of uncommon
prestige. In some cases the lowest prices

The Case Went OYER.

The $4,000 damage suit of Thomas NJ
Kelly against the owners and contractors
of the Albert building, was brought to
an unexpected close in Circuit Court No
q by Judge Cole, yesterday. Counsel for
the plaintiff asked for an amendment 10
the original declaration. This was grant
ed, and by the withdrawal of one juror
the case went over to the Fall term. The
suit has been in progress since June IS
and nothing has been accomplished. In
the evidence, 1t has leaked out that there
was an unused well in the cellar of the
Albert building, and in order TO include
this fact in the declaration an amend
ment was necessary. The suit is one that
arose over the collapse of the Albert
building, Nos. 1203-1211 Pennsylvania Ave
nue. northwest, in September. 1896. In
the building adjoining, Mr. Kelly con-

which was completely demolished by the

Gen. shnffer Denies Reports That
Yellow Fever Exists.

In reply TO a telegram sent at the in

reports that yellow fever had made its
appearance among the troops at Santi-

he says, is very good and the health of
the troops is excellent.
General Shafter also reports that after
surveying the field he could carry Santi-
ago by assault in forty-eight hours al
though his guns are not yet in position.
He will not however, undertake this at
once Jecause his own forces are con-
stantly growing in strength while the

The market yesterday was even worse
than it has been for the last two weeks.
There was no trading and no attempts to
trading may best be described as stupid.
1t is as if the Street were absolutely
tired of speculation. The reason of the
dullness is, of course. to be ascribed TO
the lack of news from Santiago of fight
ing and victory for America. The coun-
try had expected the attack on the city
to begin before this and whether Gen
Shafter is right or not in his deliberate
movements now that he has advanced
so rapidly to the city gates, the Street is
disappointed. With a great battle ahead
and the strength of the enemy undeter-
mined no matter how certain may be The
outcome. spectators cannot buy with any
confidence. They may be certain that
the market is to have legitimate ad-
vance at some time in the future but
they cannot be sure what the manipula-
tors will do on some temporary reverse
or even manufactured news of reverse.
The bears yesterday made some capital al
so on the rumors OF German interference
at Manila Whether there is any large
chance of this interference or not, as in
the Santiago case, there is the possibility
and the Street in its present temper does
not care to buy against 1t. l see no rea-
son to sell on present indications. If
