Twas anything bat cheering sighi- >
view Of the bangs Bros new door and
window frame mandatory N il appeared
in the daylight Of yesterday. The fire bad
cut the main building ia swo and . consid-
cradle portion Of the roof had fallen IN. The
windows were bIackene,l and many Of the
lights brokea out and the once presenter a
very diiapidated appearance
No adiusfment Of the loss has yet been
made, though one Of the members Of the
firm said be thought the loss woal be al
Ius,ed satisfactorily. He would not at
tempt to give an estimate, but thought Is
was less than be supposed the night before.
The building. he said, was in very bad
sbape and the stock was burned, but the
damage TO the tools and machinery was not
a. heavy az he hrs. supposed.
Mr.. Cyru. Greeley Of Lewiston came
down from Lewiston last night and will act
a. appraiser. ar. Chas. Fletcher viii act
for the firm. There 10 no doubt that the
centre Of the building will have to come
out. The ends may be left standing and be
patched up satisfactorily. Nearly all, i'll
not all, Of the roof will have TO be taken
on and new one substituted.
The members Of the firm seemed inclined
TO take hopeful view Of the situation, and
will not aliow this severe blo~ To da1nt|
them. Mr.. A. ). Bangs says that be will
have frames in process Of manufacture
there by the frs, OF December. They in-
tend to put all their workmen that can han
die tools at work In repairing the building.
These repairs will be begun as soon as the
insurance is adjusted.
The origin of the fire il still
profound mystery. Ii is SAID
that the firm is convinced that the fire could
no, have caught from the bearings Of Il e
machinery or from the furnace. Its cen
sidered very singular that no origin save
that of ineendiarism can he attributed to
the fire.
one Of the firm was asked by reporter
il he thought that the FIRE was incendiary
and he said, II do not say so. We do not
want to think that /, was. II there is any
other ean.e we wish to find il that may
guard against it. II certainly is very mys-
terisus"

Dear Sir ~ our claim for extra shrink.
age on worsted paintings has been submitted
to the manufacturers. They reply -'such
a claim is unprecedented. Upon investi-
Cation, they find that your system of cold
water shrinkage is wholly responsible for
the trouble. All manufacturers of ready
made clothing use L steam process,
and if you see fit to give your customers
the advantage of different and better
one, the mills feel that the benefit should
be appreciated by them, and You, sufficient
to Offset the loss to you in measure. 1t
should be used by you as an advertisement,
and we feel certain, when understood, yon
must be benefited. We return your bill of

spondence with sIessfs Blake Stearns
regarding the claim we made. they sent us
tso pieces of goods that had been steam
shrunk. and called cur attention to the
slight loss in measure caused by shrink
age. We found that il was a mere

water process and they sHgrsg ONE AND
