City Marshal Fowles of Hallowell, informs
us that very mysterious and suspicious box
has for some time been passing up and down
the river on the steamer Clarion, apparently
without any owner. Saturday the Marshal
made raid on board and took charge of the
box; when upon examination it was found to
contain forty-seven bottles of ale, directed to
no one. Mr.. Fowles has taken charge of the
whole concern, and no doubt would like to
find the owner.

Lambard's Car Factory-A good Local Enterprise.

LamDaruS var fhCt0ry-A sOou Lotal LnttFpFisc.
The new factory of Col. Thomas Lambard
for the manufacture of freight cars, in this
city, has been fully completed, car material
is being stored in it, and it will be in full blast
in about week. The factory is situated on
the east side of the river on the river street
leading from Cony, up by the residence of
Rev. Mr.. Quinby, and is therefore very easy
of access to the railroad, to the workmen who
may be employed in and about it, for the
transportation of lumber and the disposal of
the completed cars. wooden track is laid
inside the shops on which the trucks are
placed and the cars erected, and this leads
to the track of the Maine Central Railroad
on to which the finished cars are slid and
transported to any part of the country.
The factory comprises Two buildings which
are connected-a paint shop and work shop
the dimensions of the former being 100 by 90
feet, and of the latter so by 80 feet. The in
side is finished in the rough" but is com
Portable, very convenient, light and airy, and
will be warmed in the winter by huge three
story stove from the works of Lambard & Co.
In the workshops there are permanent
stagings erected for giving the proper facili-
ties for roofing the cars, and apartments for
the stowage of lumber that comes to the shop
fitted for the designed places in the car. One
car only is on the work shop track at time.
This is put together and run into the paint
shop, where the finishing touches are put
upon it, and it is then sent out into the world
to do its duty-perhaps to get smashed in
railroad accident, with ''nobody to blame
Southern pine and the best of Winthrop and
terial in the construction of cars. Spruce
is used for floors and inside Innings
A force of thirty workmen will be constant
ly employed in the shop and preparing ma
terial for the same. A force as large as this
will be necessary in order to promptly fill the
orders that are already on file and in prospect.
1t is intended that the working capacity of
the factory shall be equal to the construction
of three fiat cars per day, or one box car.
The ordinary dimensions of these freight cars
are 30 by 8 feet. The iron castings are all
from the mandatory of the Messrs. Lambard
in this city.
While in the old shop on the west side of
the river, Col. Lambard had the faculty of
turning out cars about as promptly as they
could be manufactured at places of greater
pretensions; but in his enlarged quarters, he
will be able to fill the orders of his patrons
still more promptly, and in measure satisfy
the demand for frst-class freighters AS a
business enterprise, the establishment of the
new factory is a good thing for the city, and
greatly adds to the industries of the east side.

CORRUPTION.

The United States Senate has, for the
last two or three days. been the scene OF
conflict between the Grant and anti
Grant Senators. Trumbull, Senator
from Illinois, and Republican, intro
duced resolution providing for the APP
pointment of committee to investigate
the frauds in the different Offices OF the
Government. 1t encountered a storm
Of opposition from Administration Sen
ators. This opposition was on, ostensl-
bly,, party grounds. That is bad enough,
but there is no reason to doubt that there
Turks q fear in the mind Of the Gov
eminent that It is full Of rottenness.
It might be fatal to have It ex-
posed. Several Republican Senators
and all the Democratic Senators favor
investigation. Heretofore, neither in
this nor any other free government, has
a proposition Of this kind been refused.
Suggest TO an honorable man in office
that something is supposed TO be wrong
in his accounts, and he demands instant
Investigation. An officer or government
that IS content TO rest under a suspicion
of oficial wrong suggests a prima iacia
case of guilt But Trumbull's resolu-
ton will be voted down, and the Admin
istration will rest under a cloud What
does it care for clouds or reputation
