The raising OF the 70. foot stack at the
new plant OF the Home Bleaching and
Dye Works, OF which Mr.. Peter B. Nc
Manus Is the sole owner, took place yes
terday afternoon, and the novel sight OF
the 2 tons OF riveted iron 4S-ineh
diameter being adjusted upon a base in
its permanent posltion was witnessed by
a large number OF people VINO stood the
cold blasts Of Yiptry winds that
swept across the < open fields in
the vicinity with chillng effect. At the
solcltaton OF Manager Clark, the
builder OF the stack, sevaral we'll known
manufacturers and members OF the press
were on hand to witness the act which,
was pronounced success In every detail
The work Of raising the stack was under
The direction of Capt. Richard j. Baker of
East Providence. He arrived at the Local
ton "Wednesday afternoon, and at 10 a. m
yesterday forenoon all preliminaries were
complete. The huge slack lay between
two 6O-feot spars placed in, the form OF
shears and from the top of which ex-
tended large number Of ropes In every
direction, At O'Clock Capt. Baker called
his men together ana all took positions, 30
feet from the stack, around which we're
several turns of rope which were con.
nectsd by tackle blocks to the windlass
The men engaged were all sailors, and In
a iffy piping song tioated In the, air, ,
the rope tigbtened and the stack began to
ascend. In 80 minutes the imense stack
was placed In its permanent resting place
upon solid base of stone and brick. In
short order the men we're climbing in al
most every portion of the rigging, which
was removed with rapidity and packed
for Shipment. Then congratulations were
extended to Messrs, Clark and Captain
Baker for their success. IL is the largest
stack ever built at the Central Ealls
Boiler Works and one OF which MIR. Nc
Manus and also Mr.. Clark feel justly proud.
Its prominence marks from many points
the location Of their new plant now In the
process of construction. ''. .f
The weavers at Work.
Tho situation at the FarwelI Worsted
Mill since the long strike was ended Wed
nesday morning Is not materially changed
up to the present time, and all appears to
be I'm accordance with the terms of settle
ment. Those who were termed "scabs
and who were at work here for the Ma
tional Mill will return TO the latter place
as soon as the samples are completed. All
of the old weavers are not yet at work fol
the reason that all Is not I'm readiness fol-
them. The weavers could not be given
their former looms and those who were
actually I'm need of work we're first accom-
modated, A kindly spirit was shown by
John Cohneliy, who visited Superiuten-
dent Eddy yesterday. The former was
offered work, but suggested 10 the Super
intendent that some one more needy of II
be given the job, and such was done. The
same number OF working hours az before
the strike will be observed and the mill
will run full time with pay. day every
Wednesday. The mill will shut down
Monday, and Superintendent Eddy states
those of the weavers who desire funds 10
enjoy q pleasant Christmas will be ac-
commodated to the best Of his ability, at
their request. The newly added gong,
which replaced the old shrill whistle, Is q
welcome sound to both residents and en-
ployees.
Merchants Find Fault.
Some of the storekeepers claim that the
officer who is doing quarantine duty at
residences labelled "Scarlet Fever" goes
inside of the house, then visits them with
money and other articles. A dilapidated
| 81 bill which was rendered In payment for
goods yesterday might spread the disease.
Some people ere superstittous, while
Others are looking after the dollars. y.
