The Chanbersburg, Pa, Idttcy Spif1t OF
Wednesday last, contains the following:
Last evening when Mr.. r. NJ. Beck, super
intendent of the Taylor Manufacturing Co.,
was busy in the pattern department, President
TAYLOR called for him and brought him into
the main shops, where he was confronted by
the officers and employees of the works. Mr.
Beck was surprised at this gathering OF his
men. and thoughts of strikes and other dire
fnIthings passed through his mind. But when
Treasurer John NJ. Mcdowell, in an appro-
priate speech in behalf of the employees and
officers of the company, presented MIR. Beck
with handsome gold watch and cham, Mr.;
Beck. although much affected by this kind
remembrance from his men, regained his
yonted composure, and in a very happy man
ner responded With his thanks. The watch
is very handsome piece of work, and is val
uable for its associations and its real worth.
Presented to Snpt R. NJ. Beck by the lay.
lor Man'f'g, Co. Employees, Christmas, 1883,
is neatly engraved on the inner case OF the
watch while on the outside case is the mono
gram of Mr.. Beck. After the presentation to
Mr.. Beck Mr.. James Watts, for the employees
of the machine shop, presented Mr. George
McCollum, their foreman, with tlne frencn
gilt clock, enclosed in glass case, for when
Foreman McCollum returned his thanks, 1t
is very gratifying " SfOlgOhC W ~ $500
kindly feeling between employers and EN-
ployes as exists at the Taylor Manufacturing
Company.
The handsome display of machinery by the
TAYLOR Manufacturing Company at Louisville
made such favorable impression upon man
ufacturers that orders are being received from
all parts of the country At present the en-
ployes are busy preparing for several large
shipments. One shipment to be made to St.
Paul, Minnesota, will consist of ten engines
ranging from fifteen to one hundred and nifty
horse power The two largest being ninety
and one hundred and fifty, respectively. The
large engine is the third one of that size sent
to St. Paul within tbs last six months. An
other shipment soon to be made embraces
ninety horse power engine, two boilers and
all the machinery to fit up Irvine factory in
Lexington, Ky. This is new departure for
the works, being the first order of its kind yet
received. In addition to these there is an
other large engine in process of erection. 1t
is an engine of one hundred and twenty-five
horse power and has been ordered by firm
in Houston, Texas. Orders fer such a num-
Der of large engines are unusual and attest
the excellence of the work done by the lay
lor Manufacturing Company.

good barn, weatherboarded l l;s

er necessary outbuildings usually found on a

ty, and finally disposed of in the way most sat
isfactory to the trustees.
The close proximity ofthese lands to Hoods

the increased facilities which that road is now
giving to people living along its line, together
with its convenience to churches, schools and
postoffce, makes it very desirable to any per-
son in want of farm in one of the most de-
hghtful neighborhoods in the county As
stock farm it would have no superior in the
county.
