Portland. Me. is ashore on the middle
ground TN Vine yard Sound, about FIVE
miles off this place. She rests easily

FACTS ABOUT FEATHERS


The fierce fire I'm a feather foundry
which took place at Newark last week
called attention to the fact that a
large business is done in feathers, and
that the fluffy. bulky ARTICLE lis an i'm
portant item In the commercial world.
"Of course" said a large importer OF
feathers and down, to writer In the
New York Tribune. most people know
that feathers are not made; that they
are simply gathered off live birds for
the market. but there are not many
people who know that nearly the whole
supply. which amounts to several mill
lion pounds a year i'm this country,
comes here from China via Germany
In China the feathers are gathered by
small dealers and commission mer-
chants through the country, and the
stock finds its way finally to Hong
Kong, where the large packing and
cleaning establishments are situated
Some feathers are made ready for the
consumer there, but the largest part
OF the proouct Is sent raw To Europe,
where the busting and renovating take
place. One of the largest plants in
Europe Is in Prague, where the facto-
ries OF the concern which had the loss
in Newark are located"
The duty on raw feathers is 10 per
cent, and 80 per cent. on the manufac-
tured or cleaned article, and in order 10
save part OF the extra 80 per cent.
factories have been established here
The raw material comes to the United
States in bales, which have been re-
duced in size by hydraulic pressure
and contain about 400 pounds each.
Feathers which remain in Europe are
used to great extent for feather beds,
but OF the material which comes to this
country the larger part Is used for pil-
lows and cushions.
THE ordinary pillow" said a manu-
facturer, "eats up 20 per cent. OF the
supply, and the rest goes to miscellan-
eous bedding; and the down which is
selected from the feathers and comes,
In some instances. already selected, is
used for fancy cushions OF the better
grade and for bed covers. Feather
beds, the old-fashioned article, which
come here from Germany and Ireland,
are going out OF date rapidly, and even
the East Siders make pillows OF their
bets after they have been I'm the coun-
try few years. New York is no place
for feather beds. anyway, even II the
people wanted them. In apartments
like those in the old-rashioned New
England homes a mountain of feathers
may be housed. but in fats which are
so small that the occupants must use
condensed milk the feather bed can
have no Mace"

SURE OF M0LINEUx.
District kiiornsJ viii Present EvIdsncs 10 Jury
Mkt Mon.h.

New York. July 12.-Preparations
were actively i'm progress by Assistant
District Osborne and Blu
menthal today for the presentation to
the grand jury on Friday OF the evil
dence against Roland Il. Molineux,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Kate
J. Adams.
A large number of witnesses In the
case were at the district attorneys Of
flee during the day being examined
concerning certain points In their evil
dence TO which particular attention is
20 be gwen. Among them were w. j.
kinsley, one of the handwriting ex-
perts; A. A. Harpster. who, IT is said.
stated that Monneux wrote a letter to
Stearns IL Co., Harpster's former en-
ployeTs, at Detroit, Mich, and Detec-
tive Sergeants Carey and McCafferty.
Assistant District Attorney Blumen-
thai said when asked about recent pro-
gress I'm the case: THE evidence
against Moiineux Is stronger now than
II has ever been. We have a complete
case against him, and while the EVIL
dence OF the handwriting experts must
be most convincing TO any fair-minded
man, we have other evidence of which
the public knows nothing. and the ex-
OF course, for me TO divulge at this time.
II may say, however, that the case
against Molineux is, in my opinion,
much stronger than was that against
Carlyle Harris. / am quite confident
that after the grand jury has heard
the evidence an indictment will follow"
II Is said that District Attorney Gar
diner has kept several persons at work
almost constantly for the last few
weeks searching for certain evidence
against Molineux. and that much has
been discovered OF which Molineux and
his counsel have not the 'slightest idea.
IL is said that there win be some sur
prdses when the case comes to trial,
the exact nature of which Is not gem
orally known.
III an Indictment is found by the
grand jury on Friday. as Ms expected
by the district attorney, IL is likely
that Molineux will be called upon TO
plead Tuesday or Wednesday OF next
week, although Weeks. Battle & Mar
shall. his lawyers. viii take advantage
OF every possible technicality ITO delay
this proceeding.
Later in the day, Assistant District
Attorney Osborne said that according
to an extension that had been granted.
he would not be compelled TO present
the case to the grand Jury before the
latter part OF August, but that he would
present IL as soon as possible.

FOURTH TRIAL IS BEGUN


The fourth trial of the suit of Mar
garet j. Mcneil against Sewer Con-
tractor Timothy f. Lyons, was begun
before Judge Wilbur and a jury this
forenoon. on the first trial OF the case
the jury disagreed, the second time
the jury awarded Miss Mcneil $1,000.
and this verdict was set aside by the
Appellate court. on the ground that if
she was entitled to any damages at all
$1,000 was not enough. At the next trial
the jury awarded her $4,000, but tn
verdict the Appellate court set aside
because IL did not believe the verdict
fully warranted by the evidence.
Miss Mcneil on June IA. 1897. as she
had just stepped from her front door
steps fell over a pile OF lumber. and was
so seriously injured that she has since
been unable TO work at her trade OF
chainmaker. and has been generally
broken in health, her eyes in particu-
lar giving her great trouble. At the
time a sewer was being built in Smith
street, and the defendant was the con-
tractor who was doing the job. and the
plaintiff claims an agent or servant of
his piled the lumber over which she
fell. negligently on the sidewalk.
Mr.. Lyons contends that the lumber
was not piled by any servant OF his but
that IL was left in the dangerous place
complained of by a servant OF another
contractor who was engaged in making
connections between the houses and the
main sewer. work on which, near Miss
McNeilrs residence, had been COM
pleted. John w. Hogan is counsel for
Miss MCNEIL and Walter F. ANGEL
counsel for Mr.. Lyons.
