Reported for the Rutland Herald
The Massachusetts State apfist
Convention.

The anniversary of this body took
place in Clinton, Oct Both and 31st.
The President, Hon. Dexter III. Bing-
ham. being absent, Daniel c. Eddy ID.
d.. of Fall River, was called to the
chair, temporarily, and afterwards elect
ed permanent chairman.
After preliminary devotional eXercis-
es, and the appointment Of committees,
the secretary's report was presented from
which we CLEAN the following
The number of churches is go; the
membership is 40, 900. Between 80 and
90 churches have been aided at an eX-
pense of 81, 1862. So, and 5 others need
aid. Total receipts, 81, 1892. 42-about
$1,000 more than last year. Still it was
said that this was but little compared to
what might and should be done.
The secretary is Charles NJ. Bowers,
ID. D., pastor of this church since 1S41.
There is but one older pastor in the
State. namely. r. III. Neale, ID. D., pas
tor of the of the First Baptist church
of Boston, who was settled in 1887.
The annual sermon was preached by
Rev. J. Tilson of bingham, from RO-
mans XII:5. Subiect-'The Union of
Disciples with their Lord, and with each
other"
An attempt was made to diminish the
number of the board and to secure the
application of the churches through a
committee appointed by the association
to which they belong, but it failed.
This meeting was well attended and
full of interest. There is probably 10
convention in the land that contains q

though they manifest individuality.
There was but two Baptist churches

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Tho RutJaud Horse DlfffcuIly.

bditor Rutland Herald Your COM
ments on the Rutland Horse Difficult
tv." in this mornings issue, and your
question whether there is not some way
to provide against these bold robberies,
suggests few thoughts.
There is evidently well organized
band of horse thieves in this vicinity,
and when they find that no horses are
tied at the street posts, you may expect
them to invade private stables. This
state of things will continue until the
officers of the law shall take some steps
to break up and scatter the band of or
ganized plunderers.
One of the prime objects of govern
ment is to secure to the governed the pro-
lection to life, liberty and property, and
where it fails in these purposes, all
classes in community are the sufferers.
In locations ont of our state where
such crimes are committed, you will find
sheriff of the county offering rewards
for the thief and property-the mayor
or officers of a city adding also re-
ward, and the authorities of town fol-
lowing in the same offers. Is there no
authority in our sheriff our village
trustees, our selectmen, to offer re-
wards? Or if they do, will not the
county, the town and the village reim-
burse the officers for the expense? 1t
seems to me that there ought to be
vested power in officials somewhere,
by such means as rewards, to stimulate
the search for public outlaws, who are
preying upon the rights and property OF
our citizens.
The immediate sufferers have Offered
liberal rewards for the thieves and
property. Mr. Cain and Mr.. Dorr Offer
in the aggregate $3.50 for thieves and
property. Cannot our county, town anc
village supplement this amount with
sums that will make a thief insecure IL
Canada or our neighboring States, or al
least break up the gang of night marau
ders infesting the highways and by-way'
of our town? Yours, etc.

Letter from John Cain, Esq.

Editor Rutland Herald Whereas,
on Saturday last, application was made
to the selectmen of Rutland, by S. NJ.
Dorr and others, to offer reward for
the apprehension and conviction of the
parties who had stolen certain horses
and carriages, in the public street of said
Rutland, and as portion of said board
refused to promptly comply with such
request, would here give notice that l
no longer offer any reward orthe thief,
for the reason that am no more inter
ested in the punishment of this lawless
crime than other citizens of Rutland,
whose agents the selectmen are, and
whose voice and views they are expect
ed to represent. The reward for the
property I will willingly pay.

MR. GREELEY AS THE LABoRING MANS
FRIEND. While swinging around the
circle. Mr.. Greeley declared at Cincln-
natl. that he was the champion of the
laboring man of the country. A lew
evenings after Governor McCook nara
ted the following interesting incident,
showing both the sincerity and novelty
of Mr.. Greeley as a labor retormer.
Governor McCook said:
Just after the war was closed | was
sitting in the room of Senator Chandler
of Michigan-SenatOr Wade of OHIO and
others were present-When Horace
Greeley's card, soon followed by HIM
self, came up. After some converse
ton on other subjects, Mr. Greeley al
dressed himself to the Senators and SAID,
. These id enormous expenditures on
the part of the government must be stop
ped at once. There must be some sort
of contraction of the currency that Will
reduce the price of labor" Mr.. Greeley
said he was building house or some
thing of that kind, and was compelled to
paw four and half dollars per day for
labor and that so long as the govern
ment continued to pay out large amounts
of money and 50 long as greenbacks
| continued so abundant, the wages of la
| Dor would remain exorbitant. Some
thing must be done to remedy this; and
what do you suppose this remedy was,
as suggested by this champion of the Ia
boring men of the country? 1t was to
begin by reducing the pay of the soldiers
and sailors and cutting down the pen
sions of the wounded and the widows
and orphans. This unselfish patriot and
philosopher proposed there to two Sena-
tors of the United States, while the
wounds of the gallant fellows who
fought through the war are not yet heal
ed, that the pay of the soldiers and sal
IOrs should be cut down and their pen
sions reduced in order that he could have
his house built cheaper! This friend OF
the working-men insisted on calling in
the aid of special legislation, in order
that the price of labor might be reduced
so that he and others like him might, in
the future, pocket a dollar or two a day
out of the hard earnings of the mechan,
les and labOring men that they might
have reason to employ!

A SwINDLER. six weeks or
mere ago, rather good looking stran-
ger made his appearance in Rutland,
seeking employment. This he readily
obtained. He called himself "Charles
Lorraine" and gave Fort Edward, n.
Y, as his residence. He had been here
but short time, when he obtained from
one of our livery stables team, by
means of a criminal act. For this he
was arrested at Woodstock, whittier he
mad gone, and brought to Rutland.
Having assured the parties in interest
that it was his first transgression, and
being, apparently, deeply penitent, at
the same time making arrangements for
the ultimate payment of the expense in
Cured, it was deemed best, the proper
authorities cOnsenting thereto, to give
him an opportunity to redeem himself.
A few more days passed, when his wife,
who is respectfully connected, made her
appearance, and it was discovered that
the young man was sailing under false
colors, or, in other words, that his name
was 'Charles L. Paul" He, however,
remained steadily at work until some
over two weeks ago, when he ceased his
labors, INDUCED himself in a spree last
ing some two or three days, and then
quietly stole away. This was the last
that was heard of him until Wednesday,
when the cashier of the National Bank
of Rutland received telegram inquirins
! if Charles L. Paul's check was good fol
two hundred dollars. Another telegram
was received in the evening inquiring il
Paul was good for that amount. The
answer was flashed back that he was {
swindler, together with the request tina
he might be detained to await a requisi
ton from the Governor of Vermont
Before the dispatch was delivered, thu
swindler had taken the alarm, so tina
when search was made for him the bir(
had flown.
Said Paul was about five feet ten
inches high, light complexion, auburn
hair and sandy whiskers. Our officer
would be glad to hear of him.

SUDDEN DEATH-Daniel Dewey, a
former resident of Rutland, died sud
denly in Flint, Michigan, Friday, Oc-
tober 25th. He had been about the city
all day, in his usual health, and fell in
the street, and expired in few minutes.
He was a clerk in the Rutland post
Office when Thomas J. Ormsbee was
postmaster, and removed to Flint some
thirty-fve years ago. He was unmar-
ried and fifty-five years old.

New STYLE OF Book KEEPING. We
endeavored, yesterday, to reassure a
number of our timid and terrified fell
low-citizens, who feared a nomadiC raid
on account of certain figures and char
acters which appeared on their doors
We are now able to render their assurance
dOubly sure, without reference to Scrip
tural history or Arabic legend. Itseems,
from an investigation, that these terrible
and mysterious marks are nothing but
a new mode of keeping accounts, adopt
ed by peripatetic peddler of pictures,
who has blessed this part of the world
with the extreme honor of his presence.
When, in the course of his peregrina-
tions, he left a picture at a house, for
examination, he forthwith made charge
therefor, by mark on or near the door.
His credit account was kept in the same
manner, generally making a cross on the
return of, or receiving his pay for, the
picture. The whole thing would be eX-
tremely ludiCrOus but for the fact that,
IN thus POSING his DOokS' hc mas aC CIle
same time, defaced the doors and door
posts of the houses constituting the leaves
of his journal or ledger. This mode of
keeping track of ones business tranSac-
tiOns is highly reprehensible as well as
in cOntraventiOn of the laws of the State.
We dismiss the matter in the hopes that
our nervous friends may rest and sleep
in peace and quiet, and that a speedy
stop may be put to this or any kind OF
defacing OF either public or private
buildings.

4 FIERY SHEOrD AND WATERY
GHAyE.-AmOng the passengers Of the
Inflated Missouri were Mrs. Mary Alco-
yer and child of Troy. Mrs Alcover re-
sided in Troy during her entire lifetime.
She was the daughter of Mrs. Mary Pat
rick. 90 Seventh street About a year
and a half ago She was united in mar
riage to MIR. AlcOver, a Cuban, who had
lust finished his course of study at the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute. Since
their marriage Mr.. AlCOyer made two or
three trips to Cuba. About the 1st of
June he parted from his wife for the
last time, with the understanding that
she was to Join him in the Fall. On
the 1st Of October a letter was received
from her husband, requesting her to join
him at Havana, and in accordance there
with She left New York on the 18th on
the Missouri. The tidings of the COnfa-
grafton of this Inflated vessel off AbacO
have already thrilled the world with hor-
ror. Unfortunately there is no doubt
that this Young mother and her babe
shared the fate of nearly all the passen-
gers. Death in every form is unwel-
come, but when it comes in this shape it
is a horror almost unmatched, and many
who near OF the awful Idtc OF JnlS
young wife and her infant will sympa-
thizc with the stricken relatives, although
they may not know them. Our news
columns say that the scene on board of
the vessel was heartrending. 1t must
have been. The hundreds of passengers
who were awakened from their dreams
of security by the appearance of the fire
fend, must have been terrified beyond
the power of words to describe. The
strong and the weak were equal in one
respect they could not fight for life
They could but wait in helpless horror
the awful fate that was inevitable

CORPORATIONS Hon. Nathan Porter
of California, in a recent speech, says of
corporations:
{. With reference to corporations,
however, am free to say if there is any
danger ahead which threatens our gov
eminent and its integrity, it is the eX-
istence of the corporation system, which,
if not watched and checked, and re-
strained, will in time become more pow
erful than the Government itself. And
when the love Of greed becomes greater
than the love of cOuntry-if the greedy
power is greater than the Government
the latter must succumb and the efforts
Of these papers to warn the people of
this common danger, and in their just
opposition to any danger to the State
threatened by railroad or any other cor
porations, it has my hearty concur
renee.
