A New Stack.

A now stack was raised over the
engine room of the Silk Mill Mon
day morning. The work was started
at five O'Clock and it took three hours
to get the big stack III place. This
made delay in starting the mill as
it was nine O'Clock before steam was
gotten up and the machines began
running. The blowing of the whistle
at this late hour caused an apprehen-
sion that something had gone wrong
at the mill However, in this inst
ance the late blasts of the whistle
augured good, indicating that all was
we'll
Foundations are now being laid east
OF the main building, on the Confer
lot, for the addition to the mill. This
is TO be the same width as the present
building and will extend across the
lot allowing space for a driveway
around the end of the addition A
frame house formerly stood Oh this
lot, but it was moved several months
ago to the Second Ward to make way
for the improvements to this growing
industry. Some delay was experience
ed i'll getting stone. but this difficulty
has been overcome and the work of
laying the foundations is being push
ed as rapidly as possible.
The addition will be of brick and
will contain the offices of the Silk
Mill and also of the Colonial Spinning
Company. The plant of the Colonial
company is in Berwick, but its offices
are to be transferred here. This addi-
tion will also make room for placing
more machinery in the main building,
thus increasing the capacity of the
plant. At the rear of the property,
fronting on the river, the ground is be-
ing leveled off in order to make way
for further improvements whenever
they may be necessary

Robert B. Mantell Friday Night.

The average person seldom realizes
the work embodied in the details of
making an ordinary stage production
and much less understands the time
and energy spent preparing large pro
ductions. Before the footlights the
spectacle is most pleasing, but how
many spectators have even remOt e
idea of the many small details re-
hearsed for weeks, gradually put to-
gether and finally presented. Prob
ably the most difficult productions are
those of the classic drama, to which
no actor can more justly lay claim to
superiority than Mr.. Robert Mantell,
whose artistic productions have met
with unmeasurod success from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Mr.. Mantell,
under the management of Mr.. NJ II.
Hanley. will be seen at the Opera
House, Friday night, when he will
present his most popular romantic
play, "The Dagger and the Cross. "

SUMMONS IN
TRESpASS ARE ISSUED

the widow, is named as the plaintiff
another in which David Foust, father
in-law of the deceased, is named and
still another in which David Foust
and Jeremiah Cromley, administrat-
ors, are the plaintiffs.

was most shocking affair. On Thurs
day January 10th last, Joseph B.
Cromley who resided on the Clark
farm, Limestone township, near Wash
ingtonville. accompanied by his five
year-old son David drove to Watson
town to sell load of grain. There

struck by the Buffalo Flyer. Joseph
Cromley and his son both were killed,
the former, whose skull was crushed,
dying instantly and the latter surviv-
ing but few minutes and never re-
gaining consciousness. Both horses
were killed.

BOTH WELLS
ARE CLEANED

\ force of men under Superintend-
ent p J. Keefer Tuesday completed
cleaning the river wells which supply
the filter plant. The we'll along shore
was cleaned last week. On Monday
morning work was begun on the
second we'll situated out i'll the stream
about forty yards from shore. This
was found to be a comparatively easy
job. The second well is connected
with the first by an underground pipe
and Il good deal of the mud III it last
week was drawn into the we'll being
cleaned by the suction caused by
pumping.
The section of the covering remOv-
ed for cleaning was carefully rerlac-
that both wells now are III shape to
materially assist i'll the work of fltra-
tiOn.
1t is not generally known how these
wells are constructed and the object
for which they were installed. The
tops, which are barely above low
water mark are familiar enough. Each
well is of iron, 80 feet long, by feet
wide and 10 feet deep. The water can
enter only by filtering through the
sand in which they are embedded, the
bottoms alone affording any opening.
The wells have proven pretty good
filters and water pumped from them
when the river was quite muddy has
been found to be comparatively clear.
They no doubt answered good pur-
pose before the filter plant was in
stalled and even now are not to be
lost sight of as factor in cleansing
and purifying the water.
The only difficulty lies in the fact
that the wells are not of sufficient ca
pacity to supply the town when more
than the minimum is required and it
is very often necessary to uncover the
manhole to admit the water direct
from the river. This renders the wells
of no account as n filtering agency and
leads to the accumulation of mud and
trash inside, such rs has made the
recent cleaning necessary

A puny child is always an anxiety to
