PIANO STRINGS ARE
FOUND IN HAWAII
They Were Mailed in Richmond
And Were Meant for DeIiv-
cry in San Francisco.
A GOOD TRACER SYSTEM.

A GOOD TRACER SYSTEM.

4 package of piano strings sent
from Richmond to a California point,
and mislaid in the mails, has Just
been located at Honolulu, through the
effective tracer service Uncle Sam has
in vogue in his mail service. The
strings had card bearing the name
of the addressee but this was detach-
ed and after rambling around over the
country first to one office and then
to another. it was finally shipped to
the Hawaiian Islands where it was
held by the United States officials. In
the list of articles lost, which are fill
ed each month by the various postal
divisions, the package of strings was
listed. The San Francisco postmaster
in looking over the list of the Ninth
district, of which Richmond is
member. saw the piano strings listed
and after turning to the Hawaiian
list notified the Office here, and the
strings were returned to the sender.
The local Office has received the
most recent list Of articles found
loose in mail sacks and those rowing
over this district untagged and a
most peculiar assortment it is. Among
those articles which are now held at
the Cleveland Office, waiting for a
claim to ownership. and which probab-
u some Richmond persons have mail
ed 20 a friend are ducks. corsets, stove
litter. bag of corn, white waist. hair
switch, maple sugar and about $50 in
money. There are hundreds Of other
cdd things listed which no one would
believe would be sent through the
mails

The City of Richmond.
SPECIAL ATTENTION Is
GIVEN TO VENTILATION.
New Foundry Is Much Larger
Than Present Building Used
For That Purpose and Will
Accommodate Eighty Men.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new foundry at the Hoosier Drill and
it is thought it will be ready for occu-
pancy within two weeks time. The
building will be a model Of its kind
and by far the best constructed foun-
dry in Richmond. 1t has features
which. to a moIder, make it an almost
ideal place to work. To an ordinary
shop visitor the most noticeable point
about the foundry is the splendid man
ner in which it is lighted and ventilat-
ed. The roof of the building is of
the saw tooth construction. This
construction makes the roof resemble
the teeth of a large saw. On one side
of each tooth is corrugated glass let
ting in an ammense amount of clear
light The inside walls of the build
ing are to be whitened thus making it
even lighter.
Special attention has been given to
The usual raised center
seen in most foundry roofs is there,
both sides of which are filled with win
dows These windows may be opened
and closed by merely turning a small
crank on the floor of the foundry.
Each window in the saw teeth of the
roof opens and closes in the same man

Increased in Size.

The foundry is much larger than the
present building used for that purpose
by the Hoosier. It will accommodate
about eighty molders. There are two
core rooms. one for men and boys and
another for girls and women. Some
time ago the Hoosier adopted the plan
of using coremakers from among the
gentler sex and it has worked quite
satisfactorily. The apartment in
which the girls will work in the new
building is distinct from the foundry
and mems core room. There are core
ovens in each room.
Facilities for cleaning up after work
are generally meager in foundry, but
at the Hoosier it will be different A
wash room with cement floor and
lockers. in which the men may hang
their clothes have been provided.
No Water Carrying.
There will be no more carrying Of
water to the different floors, as water
has been piped over the entire foundry
and there will be a faucet and hose for
every two floors. The burdensome
task of hauling up iron to the cupola
will be dispensed with by means of an
elevator running to the top of the
great melting pot. Brick sand sheds, a
modern and powerful blower and many
other features particularly pleasing to
a foundryman, are included in the new
building.
Other work at the Hoosier is moving
along at a good rate. AS soon as the
new foundry is occupied the old build
ing will be torn down and a three sto-
~ structure erected in its place. The
new blacksmith shop which adjoins
the new foundry, cannot be completed
until the old foundry is torn away.

ASSESSMENT BUREAU
Jackson Street Property Owners
 Will Claim Damages.

The bureau of assessment held a meeting last night and heard parties interested in the proposed layout of Jackson street. Damages were claimed by almost all the abutting property owners substantially the same as at the session of the board oi public works. Nicolo Polambo, who will have to get out altogether, wanted no damages, but insisted that he be left alone. When pressed to name sum he put 1t at $1,000 900. M. E. iKeeley said he will be dam aged to the extent of $4O,000. Colonel Burpee, speaking for the Waterbury Gas Light Co. put its damages at S150,000.N The Consolidated Rail- way Go, the Waterbury Brass Go, Iiotchkiss & Templeton, John H. Cassidy, representing John Byron, ct al, the Waterbury Brass Go and oth- CTS. all will claim damages, but some of them were not prepared to give definite figures. These are the high est claims ever submitted for the layout of street, and as the inter- ested parties are able to fight the outcome will be awaited with consid- orable interest.

FINISHED ITS WORK.
Albany Legislature Ready to Adjourn
 Barring Deadlock.

Albany Legislature Ready to Adjourn Barring Deadlock.
 ALBANY, N. r., June 14.-The leg. islature has practically finished its leg islative work except for the bill to re- apportion the senate districts, upon which subject the two houses are in deadlock; the Travis direct nomina- tions bill, which is expected to pass the senate today if a quorum is pres ent, and the Fancher- Rogers bill, amending the insurance law with ref erence to regulations governing the election of directors of mutual life in surance companies.
 There is, however, a distinct pros pect of an amicable settlement by com promise of the deadlock between the two houses in the apportionment mat ter. The new Joint conference commit tee has worked to such good purpose that Speaker Wadsworth said
 'The session of th6 legislature will extend into next week, and I am not at liberty to give out the compromise ap- portionment plan upon which the com mittee is working. but good progress has been made, and while the plan has not been agreed upon we are all hop ing for an amicable and satisfactory outcome"

BIDS FOR HOSPITAL
John W. Gaifney Was the Low
 est Bidder.

The figures submitted by different contractors for the erection of St Mary's hospital at the corner of Franklin and Union streets, have been tabulated by the architects and show that John w. Gaffney of this city is the lowest bidder. The con tract has not yet been awarded, but it is understood that the matter will be settled Monday. This means that the work will soon be commenced, and once it gets started things will be kept on the go until the building is completed and ready for occupan- cy. The delay was nothing that any body in Waterbury was responsible for and was due entirely to the fact that the architects were pushed and could not get the plans ready any sooner. Then it took some time for the contractors to look them over and prepare estimates, and after these had been received they had to be tabulated before the management kDew where it was at.

HORRIBLE DEATH
Miss Jennie Gerily Lost Her
 Life This Morning.

Miss Jennie Gerity. a we'll known and highly esteemed resident of the west end. was burned to death this morning shortly after six o'clock. while engaged in getting breakfast for herself and other members of the family at their home IT Gilbert lstreet. Her father, John Gerity, came to the rescue and made heroic effort to subdue the flames, but all to no avail and he witnessed the awful sight of the girl burned to death before his eyes. The fire was left lighted over night and Miss Gerity was the first one. to get up and enter the kitchen. Just how she came in contact with the fire is not known and never will be, but her cries attracted the attention of her father and he hurried to her assist ance. When he saw her enveloped in flames he threw bed quilt around her, but this quickly ignited and turned out to be case of adding fuel to the fire. Then he tried to beat out the fire, but it had gained too much headway and ragged until 1t had burned everything clear off the un- fortunate victim, with the exception of her shoes.
 During the excitement still alarm was sent into the Leavenworth' street house and the boys rushed down there. Captain Heitman and Jerry Scully went in and extinguish- ed the blazing curtains and other things that were burning. At that time the girl was in corner of the kitchen and was burned so badly that her skin cracked and in some places the gashes looked as If they had been made with a knife. Mir Gerity was burned some on the hands and Captain Heitman and Fireman Scully had their hair and eyelashes singed. The captains mustache was scorched close to his lip. Both men worked with much difficulty in the blinding smoke. Medical Examiner Crane was called and gave permis- sion for burial.
 Miss Gerity was born in sharon, but had resided in the west end since the family came here over twenty years ago. She helped her mother do the homework and never tired of trying to make the home pleasant. She was member of the Sodality of the Children of Mary and model young woman in every respect. Besides her parents she leaves a brother, Frank, and two sisters, Margaret Gerity and Mrs M. J. Cor rigan. The funeral will be held to the Immaculate Conception church at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

A-Joseph Violante, the barber who has been ill for the past week is able to be out
 Albert Henderson of Washington avenue, while at work yesterday in the Farrel foundry smashed the in- dex finger of his right hand.
 Charles Brown of North Riverside street has returned home after spend ing two months in the south. He spent the greater part of his time in Tampa, Key West and Jacksonville. Matthew Dunphy is selling out his pool room on Bank street and will spend the next couple of months on a tour of the state. In all probability barber shop will be started where the pool room now is.
 The Lettercarriers won another game yesterday when they defeated Reece's All Star team by the score of 6 to 3 at Corcoran's lots The bat teries were Dalton and Miller for the winners, Quinn and Yancuski for the losers.
 The annual barn dance of the Brooklyn Athletic club will be held in their roms on Bank street next Thursday evening. This event is greatly enjoyed yearly ana there is all kinds of fun on the night it is given. Prizes are awarded for the best make ups and some original costumes will no doubt be seen.
 At the meeting of the Junior Amateur league, held last evening, it was decided to have the protested game of last Sunday between the Pioneers and Golden Stars played over. Umpire Martin Tiernan was present and explained the play which caused the discussion, while the man. ager of each team interested gave his version of the play. After hearing all sides President Smith thought the best way out of the muddle was to have the game played over, which will be done on the first open date. In the future the members or the league will sell tickets at small price to meet the running expenses.
 At the reception given in Con- cordia hall last evening m honor of the Cimlnera-Di0rio wedding in the morning. about 300 guests were pres ent Dinner was served at 6 o'clock, after which dancing was started and continued until midnight. The grand march, in which almost everyone in the hall participated, was led by the bridal couple, Mir and Mrs Cimincra. Among the out of town guests were Miss Adelina Cumeo and Miss Jennie Cumeo, Jersey City, N. J; Miss Mar garet Warquctti. Meriden; Miss Julia Savino, Hartford; Alphonse Dl Orio and Antonio Teta, New York; Antonio Larsprogata, Miss Margaret Mungel- uzzo and Andrew Ciminera of Long Island.
 Mrs Frank Martin of South Leonard street was knocked down by bicycle rider last evening while she was crossing Bank street near South Leonard. Although the woman was severely shaken up by the bump re- celved when sine struck the pavement, after few minutes rest she was able to continue on her way. It was shortly after o'clock. when the fac tory people were on their way home from work that the accident occurred. The bicycle rider came along the street at a reckless pace, and after run ming down the woman did not even alight to see whether she had been badly hurt. Reckless ricing along Bank street should be stopped. as scarcely n week passes that someone is not knocked down by some pin headed rider who has no regard for the rights of others.
