The new brass mill of the Kome Iron Works began operations yeaterda;'. The ponderous machinery with which 1 he mill lias been titted up worked very smoothly and to the satisfaction of the Iron Works company and the workmen. Copper and zinc are melted together and brass is produced. The molten brass is then poured into molds, producing brtas flats of diHi"reht sizes. These flats are then rolled Into sheets. The brass s often annealed daring the process of ro ling, to prevent it becoming brittle. The process is quite interesting. Royal M. Iiu ssett, of Birmingham, Conn., furnished be ma­chinery, which was set up under the aupervision of F. J. 8eymour, forhierly of the Shelton Zinc Mill at Anaonia, Conn.

The article in relation to the driven well controversy, which appeared in the SKN-TISKI. last week, appears to have attracted considerable attention. The article in question fell into the hands of Win. I). Andrews & Brother, joint proprietors of Ureen's American driven well patent. They enter a denial of the story told by A. W. Honsinger, of this city, and send us the followiug letter for publication:

• m m WWA omes, 13 * is PABE ROW, I NSW Toss. April Wtb, 187». )

To ibe Eilltors of Tbe Rome Sentinel: A slip from your paper has been sent us, conlaln-

litK an article beaded "Tbe Driven Well Royalty." " A Roman's Idea of It." Tbe Roman's idea ap­pears to be embodied In tbe report of an Inter­view with oue A. W. tionsiuiter. wbo has driven wells under tbe McMliuu patent, which appears lo constitute bis . icieuiials aa an Impartial his­torian of the driven well. A atateaient ol some few (acts in connection with ureen's Invention and patent will euaole your readers properly to esti­mate ibe reliability of those siau-mem, and the probability ol the collection of royalties being en-lurced.

Mmi suits have been brought under Green's I.JU'UI, and three powerful combinations have carried their cases Into court and to trial, while ...tiei combinations, notably mow In Tompkins, Broome and Tioga counties and In Herkimer • i •uni v. In this State, alter a spirited resistance and uiuch taking of testimony, abandoned tbe contest and made settlements. In oue case tried In Brook-i\ ii, four years were occupied In taking testimony Ibrousbout tbe country, and preparing the case lur trial, over 110 witnesses wereexamiaed.tbeli testimony covering nearly 3.0UI printed pages, and nineteen days were occupied In arguing tbe cane, by some ol the ..blest counsel In lue country, In-• I a,11 UK an ek-judge of a U. S. Court, tor defense. The patent was rully sustained. At St. Paul, Min­nesota, other combination cases were tried, after more than a year spent In taking tesllmouy and preparing. Much new testimony was taken, .-mie .'*i w I messes examined, and the case for de-etise was conducted by an ex-governor of tbe State, the patent was again fully sustained. Another combination In Indiana contested, about two years were spent In preparation, much new matter being introduced,all that to this date could be heard of as likely to defeat the patent; over SO witnesses were examined, tbe testimony only having closed ttie 24th of Fet-ruary, ls7tt. The rase was conducted in an ex-judge of the State Court and argued bj i hree able counsel fur defense, ihe aigument occu­pying live days. Decision was rendered April Tin, sustaining the patent on all tbe points. Testimony ui workmen, foremen and State superintendents of salt Works has been taken by defendants at Syra­cuse, but nothing was shown that antedated i. reeii's Invention, or that was similar to it. Mon-srmer's statement that Green saw such a well at Syracuse In lsfil can not therefore be true, and positive evidence has shown It tobeuntrue. Green did not sue Suggett; Suggett never had any ad-mlulatralois; be still lives. Green's assignees never pooled with Suggett's administrators, with suggetl himself, or with any person or party rep­resenting Suggett's or any other patent, or with any person or party whatsoever. The entire state­ment purporting to have been made by Mr. llon-slnger, as published, is untrue. No affidavit of auy salt tuanulai-lurer stallug that Green got bis Idea at the Salt Works bas ever been offered In evident e, and If such affidavit Is In existence, aa staled, we pronounce It, and are prepared to prove It untrue, w benever tt may be produced.

Those whose opinion Is as stated, that no salts will be instituted, are certainly entitled to their opinion, even In the face of past facts, which, of course, may not agalu occur. Time will deter­mine, our only object is to lay tacts before your readers so tbat whatever their action. It may be taken undeistaudlngly, and not ID Ignorance ol previous litigations and tbelr unvarying results.

WM. b. AsriKkws A Rao., New York, Joint Proprietors with the Inventor of Green's

Driven Well Patent.

In justice to Mr. Honsinger it should be stated that he does not claim of his own knowledge to say that Suggett is dead or tbat Green and Suggett pooled their issues and obtained a decision in favor of Green. He says he tells the story as In-heard it. So far as the affidavit of the salt manufacturer is concerned, to the effect that Green obtained his idea from Ihe salt wells of Syracuse, Mr. Honsinger is positive; he saw it himself in the pos session of a man in a neighboring village in the year 1870. The man in question was driving wells under a right purchased of another party claiming to be the true patentee of the process. This printed affidavit was furnished him among other documents. A SRNTIMRL reporter was dispatched Saturday to see the man sup posed to have the affidavit. He was away in the eastern part of the State, conse­quent ly the errand was fruitless. If such an affidavit is in existence, and if it can be proven a true one, it might invalidate the claim of Green. There seems to be no question that the Green party lias won all the suits which have thus far been con­tested iu regard to the driven well patent. These suits have all been tried in United States Circuit Courts. In no instance has a case been carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest in the land. The first suit was brought by An drews and others against Theodoic A Carman, a well driver of Queens county. Long Island. This trial began in 1815 and ended in 1876. Andrews &• Co. were victorious, Judge Benedict sustaining tbe patent. The case was not appealed. On all trials since, some half-dozen, more or less, in different States, the other circuit judges have followed the precedent of Judge Benedict and found for plaintiff.

Nelson W. Green, tbe patentee of this well, was colonel of a regiment encamped at Cortland village, in this State, at the opening of the war. He claims the idea of the driven well occurred to him during the summer of 1801, when the confeder­ates were accused of poisoning .wells and streams which were being used by Union soldiers. He, it is alleged, conceived the idea of driving a pipe into the ground until water was reached, and placing a pump upon the pipe. Green's theory was tbat "the pressure of the atmosphere through the earth, upon the water within it, would force the water to flow in re­sponse to a vacuum formed within a tube, in­serted directly into the earth." Col. Green made an experiment on his own land in Cortland, and it was successful. Shortly afterward Green shot Capt. McNett, one of his officers, for alleged insubordination. For this he was removed from his com­mand and indicted in the civil courts. On Ihe trial the jury disagreed. Excitement ran high in Cortland, and many threats were made against Green. He claims to have been away from home most of the time until 1805, and when he was at home kept himself very closely secluded. In 1864 James Suggett, of Cortland, applied for and obtained a patent for means of making a well, and in 186S, Lieut. Mudge, who it is claimed assisted Green in putting down the first well, obtained a patent for the well itself. It appears that Green awoke to the fact that the driven well was destined to become popular, iu 1865, and applied for a patent in 1866. Meantime Mudge surrendered his patent and applied for a re-issue to include what had been patented by Suggett. Green claimed that Suggett and Mudge had stolen their ideas from him, and the three parties were put in interference, and the case was tried be­fore the commissioner of patents. The result was that Green was awarded a broad claim for making a driven well. An award was made to Suggett of the combi­nation claimed by him. Mudge's claims were ignored. Now then, it appears that several wells were driven in Cortland village, and were in constant use there a number of years before Green applied for and obtained bis patent. Wells were driven there in 1861-2, and Green did not apply for a patent until 1866. The law of 18:16, amended by the taw of 1889, under which law Green's first patent was ob­tained, says that no person can obtain a patent on an invention which has been in use with the consent and allowance of the patentee for more than two years be­fore the application for a patent. These wells were in use in Cortland village as early as 1861. Cortland village was then the residence of Green, and was also his resi­dence at the time he applied for his patent., And yet Green, in the suit against Carman, testified that he had no knowledge of the use of such wells two years prior to his application. On this the whole matter appears to have turned. It is possible he may have lived there all those years, or held a residence there, and never have known that a driven well was in use on tbe fair ground in that village and several in other public places. He so swore, and no evidence was introduced to show that he did know of their existence. If it had been shown that he did know of their ex­istence two years prior to his application, his patent would have been worthless.

The first well in Rome was driven in the spring of 1865, by Giles Hawley and Orson 11. Wheeler, under tbe patent of James Suggett. It was driven near the eating house then kept by Adam K. Adams, at the Central depot. Joseph Biggins furnished some of the tools. Mr. Biggins soon afterward had a well driven* in his own blacksmith shop. Hawley & Wheeler afterward sold their right to W. A. Cas­well, and he in turn disposed of the right to the towns of Remsen and Boonville to Walter E. Western, of this city, now de­ceased. From old papers left by Mr. Western we find that both Green and Sug­gett wrote letters to him, each claiming the patent. These letters were written in 1868 and 1869. From printed circulars and documents we learn that James Sug­gett was a well-digger at Cortland village. Also that tbe commissioner of patents awarded Mr. Suggett a patent for a perfor­ated pipe and point for driving wells. This patent was sustained by Judge Fisher, of tbe United States Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. We hear nothing regarding Mr. Suggett's claim now.

As we understand it, the Green patent owners claim to be entitled to royalty from

all driven well owners, no matter in what particular manner their wells may have been driven. The patent is on the process of making driven wells.

Dr. W. J. P. Kingsley, of this city, owns several driven wells. He has been served with a summons to appear before the United States Circuit Court at Utica the first Monday in June. The patentee has thus begun action before tbe expira­tion of the time granted for paying royal­ties. It will be seen by reference to a business notice in to day's paper that an extension of time in which to pay royalties has been granted until Saturday, the 26th of April.

This patent has been in litigation from its inception. We have given much time and space to this matter, and have endeav­ored to give both sides a fair hearing, in the interests of the people.

The winter term of Rome Union Free Schools closed last week. Examinations were held iu all the schools during the week. These examiuations were conducted With great care and much painstaking by the teachers, and resulted very satisfactorily to all concerned. The schools have labored under some disadvantage the past term, owing to tbe illness of tbe superintendent, Prof. Harrington. His absence trom duty is felt very much by all the teachers. A good superintendent of schools in a place the size of Rome is almost iudispensible. There is a vast deal of business to be tran­sacted every day and every week, which the public knows nothing about, but which needs to be perfotmed to make an efficient administration ol the schools. Parents may not kuow this, and probably do not at this time. Their children have gone to school in the morning aud tetutued at night, and tbat is sufficient. Tbe fact that they have attended school is accepted as pi oof that all is well. The schools have been well managed by the teacheis aud tbe board ot education, and the managers and teachers are entitled to much praise. But the want of a hand to guide the whole course ot the schools bas been lelt, and tbe duties of each teacher have been harder in consequence.

ACADEMY. Public exercises at the academy occurred

Wednesday alternoou. The attendance of parents and ltieuds ot educatiou was large, and all were very much pleased with the

^exercises. Each oue who took part did the part assigned him or her well, and deserve praise. The lollovving programme was carried out:

LIBERTY STHRKT SCHOOL. Public exercises in the other schools were

held Friday afternoon. The day was rainy, cold aud disagreeable in the extreme ; but in spite of the unpropitious weather, the attendance at the different schools was quite large. Tbe largest attendance was at the Liberty street school, Miss Sadie Thompson, principal. The preparatory department is conducted by Miss Thomp­son, assisted by Miss Ida Giimes. llete students are prepared to pass the examina­tions necessaiy to enter the academic de-pailment. Much interest is centered here. The exercises were of a high outer ol merit and were very satisfactory to those in at­tendance. The room was very tastefully decorated with pictures, cvergreeus, &c, and presented an inviting appearance. On the blackboard was the word " Welcome " in large letters. Several map drawings in colors were also on the board ; they showed a proficiency acquited by thorough drill and practice. The school room and its ap­pointments are all pleasant, and it is no wonder that tbe pupils love to attend school nowadays. The duty is a pleasant pastime compared with tbe same duty ol 20 years ago. Tbe following order ol ex­ercises was carried out:

Tbe chorus consists of 60 voices. Editor Clsrk, of. the Watertown Despatch, writes us in terms ot the highest praise regarding the organization and its excellent rendition ot tbe celebrated comic opera. .

Alter the conclusion of the exercises re­marks were made by Kev. James II. Taylor, B. W. Williams aud H. S. Bedell. All ex pressed themselves well pleased with the exercises and agreed that the pupils showed the results of caielul drilling. Mr. Taylor suggested that parents should not only attend closing exercises of schools, but should also visit them during the term. Miss Thompson responded briefly, thank­ing those present for their attendance sind attention. She expressed herself pleased with Mr. Taylor's suggestion, and hoped parents and friends would call on the school during the term.

Exercises in the intermediate depart­ment were held Friday alternoon. Miss Sara M. Taft conducts this department, assisted by Miss Anna Freer. There were quite a number of visitors present.

A. B a r k H i s t o r y . Prof. Andrew Jackson, K. K. M., after a

partial season of retirement, again leaped into prominence and the police court last week. Tbe professor is of very retiring disposition, and never forces himself upon public notice. This dark-eyed son of the south is used to all the hardships of life, and is familiar with but few ot its good things. In the race for the comforts of life he often gets badly in the rear, and has never made the first lap of luxury—in fact he is not a pedestrian any way. Born of parents (two), in the sunny south, he en­dured the privations usual to the general run of picaninnies. He was wise beyond his years, however, and his philosophical mind enabled hvm to live above and beyond the base and menial surroundings ot the life of a plantation hand. He often soared so far above his brother slaves as to climb a tree in the morning, and sleep in a con­venient fork of tbe same all day. That was one of the advantages of having a mind which strove to lift him out of tbe slough ot slave life, which, coupled with hands and feet adapted to climbing, ena­bled him lo shirk many a day's work. But the fact thst his master objected to his soar­ing so high, together with sundry chasteu-ings he was subjected to, combined to render him unhsppy. He fretted under restraint. His romantic nature could not be curbed. He was bound to be somebody. He longed to go forth and battle with the world. He tried to fix his mind ou some vocation, some calling, by which he might win name and fame and frieuds. At last he decided to become an artist. He con­ceived the idea that he could wield the brush with good effect, and he dreamed over it night and day. Alter the war he came north. He was a tree man. He could do as be liked. His thirst after an artist's fame was not quenched, and he resolved to take lessons at once. He knew he was poor and humble, and that he must begin at the bottom round, in (act he chose to begin there, as it made him dizzy to climb a ladder. Full of deeire to wield the brush, yet modest snd retiring withal, he applied at a stove store for a chance to study art. He wished to enter a class of beginners. The proprietor told him he was about to torm a class, and that he might enter al once. Placing a brush and a cake of black­ing in his hands he gave him his first lesson on a range which had lain in the water two weeks. Tbe professor was three weeks on his first piece, and by the time he finished the enthusiasm was all out of him. He did not want to rise any higher. He did a good job on the stove and was content to stay at the bottom of tbe ladder—step lad­der. He is one of the most accomplished silhouette artists in the city. Last summer, during a lull in the artist business he took to lecturing. His success at this was very satisfying. Wherever he lectured people were thoroughly satisfied—satisfied that they bad had enough of him. Jackson was likewise satisfied with one lecture in a place—satisfied that too much flour was wasted upon him. The professor bas been lying this winter a great deal —lying around town, doing nothing. It seems to agree with him. He is very particular about his household affairs, and simply because his wife aud a colored brother became too in­timate be had them both arrested. 'He pleaded the case himself before the recorder and urged his honor to send them " boat" to prison for life. But the recorder con­cluded that 59 days in jail would do. Jackson's lacerated heart cried out for more punishment for the guilty pair, but bis elo­quence was unsvailing. As a lawyer tbe prolessor is not a gratifying success. But he made much sport for the boys.

P. S. —The professor is pieparing a new address on the "Negro Exodus" He ex­pects to be employed by the Republican State Committee to play the part ot a " Southern Refugee," and deliver speeches iluiiug the fall campaign.

It will be ceiled inside, a new floor laid, and painted inside and out. Blinds aud modern seats and desks will be added. Gilbert Hall has charge ot tbe work, and will have it ready lor occupancy May 15th.

—Another suit against the Vernon and Verona Turnpike Company baa been de­cided in favor of Chas. Butler, plaintiff, who received a verdict of I'.HI. These suits will be appealed by the company, who claim they have a sure thing, notwithstand­ing the decisions ot the Justice's Court. The company was formed under a special charter in 18C3, independent ot the general plank road law enacted in 1847, which made it a penalty of $5 lor every offense in collecting full tolls ot persons hviug within one mile of toll gates.

—Rosweli Sage died Thursday morning last of heart disease, at tbe residence of his son in-law, Charles P. Frisbie, aged 89 years and 6 months. Mr. Sage was born in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, where he lived till manhood. In 1811 he married Mercy Snow, and soon alter removed to Lewis county, N. Y. In 1812 he was called to serve ss a soldier i s the war with Great Britain, but before its close came to Verona and setted on the farm where he died, now owned by C. P. Frisbie, who married the youngest daughter of deceased, Sarah A. Sage. Mr. 8. had five children : Caroline E., wife of M. P. Brewer, of Vernon; Chauncy S., of Williamstown, Oswego county ; Emily T., wife of Gilbert Johnson, New Haven, Conn., and Mercy D., wife ot Joseph Woolwortb, of Westfield. Mass., all of whom survive him. His wife died in 1876. There are 15 grandchildren, all of whom are living. Mr. Sage joined the Con­gregational Church at its organization in 1830, and has since been a consistent and devoted member. He was one of tbe first in town to espouse temperance relorm, and with tbe late Gerritt Smith and others, was first to labor in the anti-slavery cause. He was one ot the number who assembled at Utica to form a State anti-slavery society, but were prevented by a company headed by the mayor ot that city. The little party, upon invitation from Gtrritt Smith, assem­bled at Peterboro the next day, and com­pleted the organization of the society un­disturbed. The deceased was very benevo­lent, and contributed liberally of his email means to various missionary and other be­nevolent causes. Until within a few months of his death he was quite active for a man of his advanced age, and would readily pass for a persou of 60 years. He took a deep interest in politics, aud it is said that be has never lost a vote on election day. Thus has passed away our oldest citizen—a pioneer of the town and a man foremost in every good work; one of strong mind and honest convictions, who did not fear to express his opinions. He will be greatly missed by his devoted family and a wide circle of neighbors and friends. The funeral services JA-ere held at his late resi­dence Sunday aimrnoon,and were conduct­ed by the Rev. D. I. Biggar, of Camillus, a

former beloved pastor. «•«. —
