David o. Foye, President of the Bath Club,
said there was a complaint that the last speak
er did not speak loud enough. He meant to
make them all hear (cheers). They had come
up from Bath ON half fare and it was all that
1t was worth, for they had to walk half way
Qaughter) A club was organized in Hallowcll
two weeks ago, and it had held three meetings
At the first meeting there was thirty members;
at the second hundred; now there is three
hundred. He said he was formerly a salesman
in Portland, and he had been looking around
the hall for some of his old companions whom
he use to drink with, but could not find one
They used to go down to place on street that
he had forgotten the name of, and the keeper
used to supply their wants from bottles that he
| carried in his pocket and sometimes he pulled
| the bottles out of his boots. The Reformers
| mean to drive the rum traffic lower than the
boots, so low that it will never rise.
| Joshua Nye, of Augusta, regarded this giori-
GUS movement as the result of the labors of the
temperance men for the past twenay years. He
believed the greatest reformers had been the
advocates of legal suasion, and no class had
got down on their knees so low to induce the
rumsellers to quit the traffic as legal su asion-
lists. Speaking of Cold Water Templars, he
said he had been connected with the organiza-
ton fourteen years and had enrolled 1900 chill
dren, and on looking over the list could find but
AZ who had broken their pledge. In their Sec
ton were some poor children who had no
clothes and could not attend the meetings, and
some of their companions came to him and
told him about 1t, and he wrote subscription
paper at their request:-"That we agree to pay
the sums set against our names to procure
clothing for poor children that they may attend
the meetings of the Cold Water Temples" and
at the end of three hours they came back with
S8465. And one day he invited Eben f. Pills
bury to visit The Section, and was surprised to
hear him say to the children that at the. early
age of three years he signed a pledge presented
to him by his mother and had never broken it.
He urpe9 his hearers to come forward and sign.
Suppose you don't drink, he said, you will
strengthen our hands. He prayed that the meet,
ing might be a success, and that Portland should
have all the credit for the result that should go
out from it

THE ARMS INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Senate Arms
Committee held a session this forenoon
John Hoey testified that he has no knowl-
edge of the matters which the law was inves-
tigating.
A. W. Markley testified that he received
$40, 900 from Thomas Poultney, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Poultney proposed to
give Marley one dollar on each gun if he
would bring about the sale of 10000 guns from
the Navy Department. Marley met the Sec
Rotary on the street and asked him if he had
any guns for sale, when the Secretary told him
that Poultney had better communicate with
him. Marley then informed. Ponltney of the
interview, This was all the interview he had
with Secretary.
Mr. Peck testified that he did not say to
Chambrun that be had $4,000 purchase, but
that Remington would spend $4,000 rebutting
evidence He made no reference to buying.
Mr.. Smart testified to being employed by Mr..
Remington. He visited Frankfort arsenal in
1870 to see improved cartridges and casually
met Col. Crispin and Gen. Dyer there, who
were also investigating cartridges. Had con-
versation with Dyer about breech leaders, his
object being to ascertain whether government
would sell, and when the arms could be delv-

90 on. The Committee voted to proceed, al
though Bartlett protested on the ground that
they did not wish to be hurried.
Mr.. Dana was sworn. He testified that he
had no facts within his personal knowledge as
to the truth of articles in the Sun from Februa-
ry 18th to March 14th. He made the statement
on his conviction and belief. Information con-
corning E. G. Cattells purchasing coal sup
plies for the navy was communicated to him
confidentially and to reveal persons names
would do him injury. His informant was not
in the navy department nor the service of the
government. The same person informed him
that Robson and Cattell were interested in the
iron for torpedo boats. He received informa-
ton from other persons, but they we're all in
the same condition. He procured much of his
information from public documents; acts of
Congress and reports of the executive depart
inentS.
he was interrupted by Sargent as to other
charges made in the Sun against Secretary
Robson, and said the basis of his articles were
from persons in whom he had confidence. AS
to the charge that Robson and Cattel were the
greatest robbers in America, the facts develop
ed within the last four or five days showed its
truth. If permitted to go on before full com.
mittee he was ready to produce witnesses and
documents
Mr.. Dana positively and repeatedly refused
to give any names of his informants, but prom
ised to give some names of persons tomorrow

FRATERNITY ENTERTAINMENT even
ing in response to very general demand,
''Mrs. farley" has kindly consented to exhibit
her wonderful wax figures, which have been
received in every representation with hearty
applause, and won commentator on every
hand. This is the last opportunity for some
time at least to view these life-like and very
amusing figures. Owing to the want of stage
room and also to accommodate the large crowds
that are sure to attend, the committee have Sc
cured the Grand Army rooms in the Mechan-
les Hall for this evening only. In addition,
the programme will include some of our first
class artists. Mrs. Cummings will sing the
lovely ballad Come back to Erin" and a
charming duet with Mrs. Merrill. Messrs
Mitch H. Pennell and Shaw are also to assist
The entertainment is a singularly fine one, and
will be distinguished as equal to any that has
been enjoyed here this season. They have a
record of success that needs no comment from

gists in Harbor Grace, but they thought / was
inventing the name at their expense How
ever, in April, 1870, Mr. Edgar Joyce rapidly
wasted away with every symptom of quick con-
sumption, SO that he was unable to walk across
the room, having no appetite, pains in the left
side, nervous system unstrung, dry, hacking
cough, &c. Fortunately L learned that your
Syrup could be obtained at Mr.. Dearin's, in
st. Johns, and Immediately procured some
(showed one TO w. H. Thompson, who ordered
supply from you at once.) This was Tuesday
afternoon; at night he took the prescribed
dose, and in the morning he described the very
results notified on the wrapper. His appetite
soon began to return, and voracious one it
was, too; the dry, hacking cough changed into
loose but violent attacks, finally disappearing
altogether; pains left his side, his hand assum-
ed its usual steadiness, and before he finished
ten bottles his health was quite restored and

once four bottles to the Labrador, which he
was very anxious to do, but had not occasion

This is AIN irritation or inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breath
into the lungs. 1t rises from cold settled in
the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from Sc

latter cause commences in the taryns and glotis,
which are the organs of the voice, and, extend

tendency to spread into the lungs, and termin-
