Fairhavcn.
An excursion from Fairhaven visited
Saratoga Tuesday. 1t was under the au-
spices of the Baptist Sabbath school, and
numbered about two hundred persons.
The So,utogian of Tuesday gives the fol-
lowing incident in which Fairhaven
gentleman was interested =. J. McMoore,
of Fort Ann, may not think so, but he, in
Saratoga Tuesday, had little experience
that he would probably not like to have
repeated. Previous to leaving Fort Ann
he went to the postoflice and procured his
mail, and then Immediately took the train
for Albany. AS the train was laundering
Saratogawards, McMoore devoted the time
to pcrusing the communications, some of
which he tore up and threw out of the car
window His attirn and OF ut;
caused him to be an object of suspicion to
several of the passengers, and among them
heavy marble dealer of Farhaven. 1t is
stated that Mem. was seen to have trans
ferrcd money and check from the letters
to his own pocket. AS the train stopped
at Ganesvoort, just north of Saratoga, the
Fort Ann man threw to the wind another
letter which he had read and then torn up.
With an eye to business, a boy, according
to request from one of the passengers,
picked up the pieces. When the train
reached Saratoga the marble dealer made "A
complaint of the affair to Deputy Sheriff
ID. s. Gilbert, stating that he believed the
man to be United States mail robber.
Gilbert at once placed McMoorc under ar
rest and took him before Justice Wood for
an examination. Two or three witnesses
were sworn, and the result of the whole
affair was that he was discharged. The
letters proved to have been private letters
received by him from the Interior Depart
ment and also the Treasury Department in
reference to a number of reports which
Mem. had received. Mr.. McMoore took
the next down train for Albany, and this
is all there was of the little episode.
