REALTY BOWS GROWS
COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE IS
SHOWING INCREASE.
Receipts for Filing Deeds and Mort
gages for July Exceed Those for
Same Month Last Year.
A larger volume of real estate business
pa-aed through the County Clerk's office
last month than during the same period
last year, as shown by the monthly ro
port just complied. For filing deeds and
mortgages property-owners paid into the
county's coffers last month 1669. whii
during the same period in 1907 the re
ceipts were $512.07. The total amount
received last month by County Clerk
Fields was H661.56, 11023.10 of this being
from the County Court department am
45 from the Circuit Court department.
In the latter there ha been a falling off.
doubtless due to the vacation season. I
i probable that suits accumulating in
th" ofllres of local attorneys while they
an enjoying their vacations will be filed
in the early Fall. This will swell the
County Clerk's receipts and also congest
th Circuit Court docket.
County Clerk Fields paid out for sal
aries last month W1S.70 and for supplies
ja'.S 25. making a total expense of $355fi.9.
Of the amount aspeodtd for supplies 60p
went for a steel filing rack. It ia being
used In the Circuit Court vault.
This outlay lowered the profit last
month to J1124.60. In July, 1907. it was
11959.90, the receipts being J4697.B2. ex
pertise J2737.62. Of the receipts 2512.
was taken In by the recording depart
ment. 11272.80 by the County Court and
912.S5 . by the Circuit Court. Salaries
during July, last year, were $200, supplies
J337.62.
How the real estate business has grown
in the last six years may be gathered?
from the fact that during July, 1902. only
JSP9.75 was received by the recording de
partment. The receipts In the Circuit
Court at that time were 1233.40 and in the
County Court $381.90. The Circuit Court
Is now handling about four times the
business of 1902. In July, 1902. the
county paid $2104.4S in salaries and VSS.50
for supplies, or a total of 2400.96 for the
running expenses of the County Clerk's
office. The expenditures exceeded the
receipts by SSS3.91.

FIRES ON FLEEING MEN
POLICEMAN PURSUES PAIR OF
DOPE FIENDS.
Patrolman Craddock Raids Opium
Joint Two Negroes Escape but:
Are Caught After' Hard Chase. ,
Pursuing Joe Redd, . who escaped from
an opium den when It was raided. Pa
trolman Craddock yesterday afternoon
fired four shots at the fugitive, but Redd
refused to stop. A witness to the shoot
ing who was close to the fugitive threw
out his foot and tripped him and the
officer placed him In custody.
A thousand or more people were at
tracted by the shots and Joined in tha
chase. It was late in the afternoon when
Officer Craddock raided an opium den at
453 Flanders street. Ha had heard that
two negroes. Jo Redd and Frank Mor
gan, were in the place. He is said to
have known them to b victims of the
Chinaman's "yeng-she." and was deter
mined to cause, their arrest.
He entered through the front door, and
evidently one of the Chinese inmates
warned the two negroes, for they escaped
through the rear door. The officer soon
discovered that they had escaped and re
treated through the front door. Once in I
the street, he saw the two men fleeing
down Flanders street.
He at once gave chase, but was unable
to overtake the fugitives. He ordered
them to halt, but they paid no heed to
his commands, continuing their flight. A
large crowd was attracted by the chasa
and many Joined.
After repeated calls to the fugitives to
stop, the officer opened Are. At the first
shot the men hesitated, but after a mo
ment's deliberation continued. The offi
cer fired again, and altogether four shots
were fired, but the men refused to pause.
Finally Redd was tripped and fell to the
sidewalk, and his companion stopped voluntarily.

SOME FACTS REGARDING PORTLAND
CEMENT, AND HOW IT IS MADE
Artificial Mixture of Lime and Clay, Burned to Clinker and Ground
Named Because of Kesemblance to Natural Stone of Isle of Portland.
0
N ACCOUNT of the early estab
manufactory in this city, the com
position of the material is a subject
that will, be considerably discussed
from this time until the works are in
operation. A short history of the dis
covery and subsequent spread of the
use of the material is of present in
terest. In Professor J. B. Johnson's "Ma
terials of Construction," Portland ce
ment is described as "an artificial mix
ture of lime and clay In proper propor
tions, calcined to a clinker at a tem
perature of Incipient fusion, and when
finally ground, is given iUi name. It
received this name in 1824 in England,
where it was. first made, from its sim
ilarity in appearance when hardened
to the noted oolitic limestone from the
Isle of Portland, long used in England
for building purposes. It was patented
In that year by Joseph Aspdln, a tieeds
brickmaker, as an 'artificial stone.' He
mixed pulverized limestone, taken from
the public macadamized roads, with
clay, by adding; .water enough to re-jL
duce it to a liquid form. This was then
dried and burned in a furnace similar
to a limekiln, till the carbolic acid is
entirely expelled.
"The necessity of burning to a clink
er was not given In the specification,
and was probably not known at that
time; neither was the proper propor
tion of clay mentioned. His success
was, therefore, something of an acci
dent, as was doubtless the discovery of
the hydraulic property of the mixture
Itself. Aspdln began manufacturing
his cement at Wakefield, in Leeds, in
1825.
"Previous to bis time a kind of nat
ural cement had become common under
the general name of 'Roman cement.'
This was made by calcining nodules
(geodes) of a clayey limestone, found,
along the eea coast, at a heat nearly
sufficient to vitrify them, and grinding
the product. (This was patented by
James Parker, in England, in 1796.)
"The discovery that tho hydraulic
property of certain limes was due to
the clay Ingredient is due to Smeaton
(about 1756), who had some knowledge
of chemistry. The occasion of these
investigations was the building of the
third, Eddystono Lighthouse. Thla,
therefore, marks the beginning of all'
Intelligent study of the subject of hy-
draulic cements.
"Since a good Portland cement, with'
or without sand, gravel and hrokrn
stone, makes an artificial compound
equal to almost any natural stone in
hardness, strength and durability, and
since it can be moulded to any form
and Is much cheaper than quarried and
cut stone, It ia constantly finding wider
and wider fields of application. This
material has already worked ft revolu
tion in engineering construction nearly
equal in significance to that following
upon the general use of the Bessemer
and open-hearth processes of making
steel.
"The character of Portland cement
also has constantly improved, till now
it has reached practical perfection.
Within the past 20 years the improve-,
ment has been very marked, as a result
of the universal system of testing now,
in vogue, and of the general employ
ment of competent scientific super-1
vision of the works, made necessary,
by these tests on the part of the user.!
Portland cement la now made on a
gigantic scale In Germany, Belgium,:
France and England, and Its manufac
ture is rapidly Increasing in the United
States."
