HAD NEGRO FRANCIS
AS AN EMPLOYEE
w. C. Jones, Barre Railroad Contractor,
Had Tussles with Convict Who
Is Now Being Tracked in
Maine

w c. Jones arrived in town last even
ing from Maine, where he has been en-
gagged for many months on a railroad
contract in that state. Among his en-
ployees was the now notorious negro
convict. Minot st. Clair Francis, wha II
being chased over the state Of Maine
BY armed posses. Mr. jones says that
Francis worked for him until he stole
n team and $40 from one of the other
men and decsmped. On going TO the lum.
Der camp the negro was willy enough
TO take an assumed name. and that Of
VI c. Jones suited him the best. So
he took the name of the contractor.
His mail of course, got confused with
that OF the real owner of the name,
and Mr.. Jones thinks that Francis took
the name was the idea Of getting money.
II was noticed that the negro was q
steady and daily applicant for mail at
the postofIice. Finally Mr.. Jones learned
that the negro was going under the same
name as himself and told the postofiice
clerk to be careful. Since leaving the
railroad camp Francis left trail of
crime which, as now computed, would
keep him back Of the bars for i05 years.
While in Barre Afr. Jones will pack
up his household goods preparatory to
moving to Watepile, Me-, where be

GRANITE SHIPMENTS
BADLY DAMAGED
Englewood, N. X, Customer Of a Barre
Firm Complains Of Rough Han
ding Of Granite From This
l-sA-.

The statement that shipment Of Barre
granite is greatly retarded is snbstan-
tiated by a letter which a local manu-
featuring firm has just received from
d customer ii Englewood, nj u Further
more, the letter charges that the ship
ments when made are roughly handled
and in some cases damaged to q great
extent, II this is continued, it Is cer-
tain to drive away much trade from
Barre. TO bring the matter to the at
tention Of the Manufacturers associa-
tion and the railroad companies, the LETT
ter Is herewith printed;
AS one Of the manufacturers of Barre
with whom we are constantly doing
business, we would appeal to you to in
yestigate the very rough manner in
which Barre shipments are handled by
the railroad companies, either at Barre,
or points of transfer
During the entire year we have hard
| ly received Barre shipment, but what
has had the very toughest kind Of han
ding, and in nearly every case badly
damaged. The stone arriving at Engle-
wood, iii many cases entirely void of
boxing, and recklesslv tossed on end like
lot Of building stone. Many times we
have had cut and polished pieces thrown
against rock work Of other stone, as
| though they were lot Of rough stone.
~Why is this? We do not have this
difficulty from other quarry centers.
Stone from Concord, Quincy and Wester-
lly always comes through in good shape.
| we rarely have damaged piece Of
Quincy, and the boxing Is always intact.
Marble from Proctor, VT, comes through
in good shape. Is it because stone from
other ceuteFs are better boxed than
Barre shipments2 One thing is certain,
lthey receive much rougher handling than
from other quarters As well as being
roughly handled. the Barre shipments
are taking more than twice Lie time,
en- route. as they formerly did, which
/ is great drawback and source of great
annoyance
well, you may say, you must seek
redress from the railroad companies and
lput IN your claim for damage. This Is
/ but small redress and under the restrict
ed valuation Of 40c per Gu. fl, amounts
to nothing toward repairing the damage
often sustained. VIII it be necessary
for~us to ship under higher rate, with
out limitation as TO value, in order to
protect ourselves to the full extent Of
damage, and thereby make Barre granite
cost Us more to freight than other gran
ties; or do you think it possible that
any improvement could be made at
ipoints Of transfer by writing the rail
road companiesf
~0ne th.ng is certain, that If this
continued damage to Barre shipments
does not cease, we win have to discour-
age the use Of Barre in favor Of other
GRANTEES
The Times has learned also that the
same conditions exist with many ship
lments to New York city, Brooklyn and
VICINITY. To prevent orders from being
diverted from Barre, the Manufacturers
association should take up this matter
at once.
