Ry this time the third man had escaped,
70 the two detained men were lodged in
Jail. At an examination the following
morning none Of the Sheffield stolen effects
were found about them and no cause was
shown to detain them on suspicion for
having taken part in that burglary. A
large sum of money in one package was
Round In their possession, and the officer
round that this wad of greenbacks had
changed hands at each of the several visits
he made to the Jail Tuesday morning.
They were evidently French Canadians en-
Route for the southern part of New Eng
land, claiming they were going to Worces-
tet, but their stories conflicted somewhat,
and when they were released instead OF
taking the one o'clock train south, as they
said they were going to do, they were dis
covered walking on the railroad track be-
tween here and Barton. Thus endeth the
the second chapter of the burglar scare of
Orleans county.
a visit to B. r. Moore & Co.'S. factory
Impressed us again with the fact that we
are living in an age Of advancement. The
mem bers OF this progressive firm are COM
piafnipg OF tight quarters; their business
haas reached the limit of the buildings
capacity, which is 40x70 feet, with three
Aoors, and, while they have lately been
making some changes and improvements
shrou bout the block, they intend in the
Apring to add two stories to the structure,
thereby allowing them to increase the pro-
coctive capacity twofold B. F. Moore
has taken his SOD, Everett L., into the
hrm, and the latter has charge of the ship
ping department. Among the changes on
The first floor we found that the engine
&nd dynamo had been discarded whereby
they used to generate their own electricity y,
and a new motor installed, getting their
lighting and power from the Newport
Electric Light Co. The buildings heated
by steam. The office on the first floor is
Eeached by a separate outside door, and is
very commodious and conveniently ar
ranged. Here we find Mr.. j. G. Harrison,
che bookkeeper, who has been with the
concern many years and is a very COM
potent and trusted employee. In another
apartment on the ground floor is the rag
operating room above, filling the bags
which fiud ready sale. On The next floor
Is the stock allotment department, which

Out stock Tor all orders is sent here and
Tiven cut to the operators by ticket, and
thereby an accurate record of all flushed
york IL made. Going up another fight
and the busy department of the establish
noeDl IL reached. There is q row of sewing
machines the length OF each side of the
room, numbering sixty in all, of the
Wheeler q " ilson and Union Special man
nfacture, and each machine is being run to
It's fullest capacity. This manufacturing
department Is in charge OF George Nc
Arthur, who has been in the esta blishment
several years, coming here from st. Adams
"a an experienced cutter. The cutting is
also done on this floor, which is In charge
of L. 8. lngraham. The company formerly
manufactured pants and shirts as we'll as
Ovefalls: out they have discontinued this
line, and are now making a speciality OF
railroad garments, producing a suit
especially meeting the requirements of
engineers, firemen and brakemen. There
are twelve different patterns of cloth used
In their manufacture, of the best stock, no
cheap product being handled, and are most
substantially made. An especially de-
signed brass button is used, giving the
suit the appearance OF uniform. The
stock room Is In the top story. Here the
quits are done up ready for shipment and
sent below by chute to the shipping room.
Here is where we got an idea Of the large
extent Of their business, numerous orders
being Allied for all parts of the West as
Par as Salt Lake City, Utah, and in all the
Southern States. Their speciality trade is
confined to these sections of the country
almost exclusively, and they are unable tc
sttp up with orders, hence the necessity Of
Sniarging capacity, although there are now
employed about seventy men and women
Among their orders was one from a party
~ Colorado, amounting to about 81 10000
Their " estern trade is In charge of w. E
1mpey, Of Denver, Col who also cover,
The southern territory with the exception
OF ave states which Geo. Kent of Ham
rnond, la, has charge Of. Mr.. Impey hal
been on this territory for fourteen years
and has handled the Moore goods for fou1
years. This industry has experienced
steady growth since its establishment b!
Mr.. Moore on asmsli scale about twelv,
years ago, and its material benefit to tn
community Is inestimsble.
