BRICK MANUFACTORY
Novel and Important Enterprise
Will Soon be Established
in Wilmington.
VALUABLE GERMAN PATENT.
Exclusive Right Purchased by Mr. Andrew
Smith to Make Chemical Article That
Will Require Extensive Plant.
Process of Manufacture.
Mr. Andrew Smith, of this city,
while on a recent trip abroad, pur
chased from the owners in Germany a
very valuable and exclusive patent
right to manufacture and sell in North
Carolina a chemically made brick,
which it is claimed possesses extraor
dinary merit and which will revolu
tionize the brick-making industry of
the country.
K Interest attaches to the announce
ment from the further fact that it is
pretty generally understood that a
strong company will be organized in
Wilmington for tbe manufacture of
the brick and that taken as a whole it
will mean a novel and very import
ant enterprise for the city.
While Mr. Smith, for the present
does not give out the particulars of
his purposes in this direction, it is gen
erally accepted that a large amount of
money will be expended in the establish
ment of a plant which will be located
on the entire block recently purchased
by Mr. Smith at a cost of $2,500 and
bounded by Front and Second and
Bladen and Harnett streets. Here
railroad facilities are the best and
ample space is allowed for the exten
sive works.
Mr. Smith not only has the exclusive
right in North Carolina bus he has the
general agency for the Southern
States.
Mr. Smith said yesterday in speak
ing of the new process and the organ
ization of his company.
"The making of brick out of sand
with a slight admixture of chemicals
constitutes an invention of extraordi
nary importance to the building indus
try, an invention that will work, and
in many respects has already worked
undreamed reforms in the art of brick-
making. It can be said of the brick
manufactured according to this sys
tem, that they can be used for every
kind of construction, and in all cases
are much preferable to clay-bricks,
their shape is far prettier, and they
can under this system be given the
greatest variety of shapes and colors;
they can be made equally as well in
Winter as in Bummer.
"The idea of manufacturing 'white'
brick out of these materials is found
ed on this property, many a trial has
been made in this direction, but with
out giving a satisfactory result. Suc
cess bas been achieved-at last and in
deed a brick made out of sand with a
small admixture of chemicals, which
has stood the test in Europe. There is
a brick made which is in every respect
fit for every use to which a good brick
is put. On the other hand the cost of !
tbe same is very reasonable, ana is
cheap concerning the quality.
"A brier description here or the
process of manufacture: The chemi
cals are pulverized in a ball roller
mill; from the mill the pul
verized chemicals fall into an
apparatus which is used to meas
ure out the required proportions
of chemicals and sand, the latter ma
terial being simultaneously brought
in to another sort of the apparatus.
This measuring apparatus is adjust
able and will be set according to the
quality of sand to be used. From this
measuring apparatus the sand and
chemicals thus measured on iaii into
a mixing apparatus in which the ma
terials are thoroughly blended to
gether. This apparatus, like that pre
viously mentioned, runs continuously
and turns the mixture over to an ele
vator which carries it wherever it
may be wanted; the mixture is com
pressed into bricks under a very heavy
pressure; the press is specially con
structed for this purpose. The freshly
pressed brick are stacked on iron tray
cars, which alter they are loaded are
run into an iron cylinder fittted with
rails which is- then sealed tight, and a
very high pressure of steam is then
turned on and in the time of about
twenty- minutes there is created a
pressure of eight atmospheres, which
is the desired standard to obtain the
hydrates and silicates of the sand
combined, which gives to the brick its
hardness and weatherproof qualities.
After the bricks have undergone the
action of the high pressure of steam
for ten hours, the same steam is turned
into a second hardening cylinder that
has been filled with bricks in the mean
time. The bricks are then taken out
and are ready for use.
"The brick referred to are by no
means a new thing in Europe, but the
process has been wonderfully im
proved within the last four or five
years. This I convinced myself of
while I was over there last Summer
as I looked into eyery detail of this
industry. The German police officials
of the building department are known
to be extremely pessimistic and con
servative whenever they have to pass
upon a new building material; it went
thus with the White Chemical Brick
industry until something like a year
ago when it conquered their verdict
after being put by them through
every possible and impossible test; no
pessimism could stand against its sale
able quality; and now it is in use by
many of the authorities, royal, state,
judicial and provincial; the superior
ity has cut its way through. No
petty prejudice of unthinking men,
no opposition on the part of the clay-'
brick manufacturing interest has been
able to hold its own. The industry
ia,nowJully recognized.in Europe and
is very progressive in advancement.
Is it not less certain that within a
short time such will be the case here
in the United States?
"There has been now already a great
many "rights" sold in the United
States which is an indication that the
industry will come here also. The
bricks referred to will stand a resistance
pressure of three thousand pounds and
upward, to one cubic inch. The re
sults of the official tests of the
resistance to frost was that the
brick which had been put in the water
for one hundred and fifty hours
and afterwards submitted twenty
five times in succession alternately
every four hours to a temperature of
68 degrees F. below zero, and for
three hours thawed out in water in
temperate heat have remained abso
lutely uninjured. As a water absor
Morn
bent the 'white' chemical brick is on
an average much less so than the clay
brick; the tests for power of resistance
to fire have proven the superiority of
tne chemical brick.
"Another factor of ereat weieht in
favor of the chemical brick is that the
older they are the greater becomes
their power of resistance to conditions
of pressure, frost and fire, the chemic
al proof of this is found in their sili-
cious formation. The White Chemical
bricks absolutely challenge the com
bined effects of meterological influ
ences
CORONER'S INQUEST HELD.
Investigsted Circumstances of Death of
George W. Price and Rendered Ver
dict Culpating No One Funeral.
At the office of Dr. C. D. Bell,
county coroner, yesterday at 12:15
o'clock, a jury was empanelled and in
quiry made into the circumstances of
the death of the late George W. Price,
colored, the story of whose tragic
death was related in . these columns
yesterday.
The jury was composed of the fol
lowing: John Barry (foreman), B. B.
Pridgen (secretary), G. M Murrell,
M. T. Davis, W. B. Brown and G. H.
Haskett. -
Only three witnesses were examined.
They were Engineman George W.
Smith aod his foreman, who were on
the locomotive which passed over the
deceased, and A. C. L. Yard Conduc
tor John Barry, who was near the
scene of the accident, and heard the
cries of the wounded man. Engineer
Smith testified that he was shifting ten
empty box cars that had been unloaded
at the Champion Compress. He pulled
the cars up the switch and stopped op.
posite the ice factory for a change of
the switch. He saw up the track and
there was no one ahead of him. When
the switch was changed he started to
back down and heard the cries of the
colored man. Looking over his ten
der he saw the body of the man lying
beside the track. The fireman testi
fied to about the same facts.
Conductor Barry heard the cries of
the wounded man and from his testi
mony it was gathered that Price must
have attempted to have gone between
the cars in bis hurry to get across and
was caught when the train started.
The jury rendered a verdict in ef
fect that the negro came to his death
by being run over by a train in the
W. & W. yard and that the circum
stances leading up to the accident were
unknown. No blame was attached to
any one.
The funeral over the remains of the
deceased was held at 3 o'clock yester
day afternoon from Chesnut Street
Presbyterian church.
BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING.
Baltimore Creditors Ask That Jacob Res-
nick, of Maxton, N. C, be Declared
Bankrupt The Circumstances.
Jacob Resnick, a Jewish merchant
of Maxton, N. U., will be summoned
to show cause on November 9th, be
fore Referee 8amuel H. MacRae in
this city, why he should not be ad
judged a bankrupt. A petition in in
voluntary bankruptcy was yesterday
filed in the U. 8. court here by Proc
tor & Mclntyre, attorneys of Lum-
berton, N. C, who represent in the
petition certain Baltimore creditors
among whom are L. Grief & Bros.,
Market Bros. & Co. and Horris Silver
man. They have given bond in the
sum of $6,000 with the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company as
surety.
Resnick was accused about October
1st of having set fire to and burned
his store at Maxton.' Vdry soon there
after he made an assignment to J. H.
Cook, Esq., but later at the instance
of Fire Insurance Commissioner
Young,' of Raleigh, he was arrested
and charged with incendiarism. Res
nick gave bond for his appearance at
court in tbe sum of $1,500 and very
soon thereafter made his disappear
ance. It is now sought by the Balti
more creditors to set aside the assign
ment and to have the business wound
up in bankruptcy court.
Resnick formerly conducted a store
at Burgaw, Pender county, N. C.
Blankets for Prisoners.

five pair of Franklin blankets of
heavy weight. They were purchased
from Mr. Wm. Goodman and will be
