bad Affair.
A special dispatch from Oak Bluff to the Ad
vertiser says: f.For some weeks past there has
been a good deal of scandal in connection with
Mr.. Vinson of Edgartown and S. Elliott from
Worcester who have occupied cottage in
company of two married women belonging in
Edgartown. These men have been threatened
with coat of tar and feathers, and Vinson
fearing trouble left the Island some weeks ago.
Last night at about II o'clock party of men
went to the cottage and calling out Elliott, and
after considerable struggle forced him into
wagon in which was pot of tar and feathers.
Elliott drew a revolver and fired twice, the
second shot killing Caleb Smith, brother of
the two women. The report of the pistol
frightened the horse which ran away and threw
the whole party from the wagon, when Elliott
escaped and surrendered himself to the authori-
ties. Intense excitement prevails here.

BANNER PREsENTATION.-The magnificent
banner recently painted by Cloudman was for
mally presented to Munjoy Lodge on Saturday
evening at Pythian Hail. The presentation
was made by Chancellor Commander Stevens
of Bramhall Lodge in behalf of the lady friends
of Munjoy Lodge, who were present in large
numbers, in words substantially as follows:
Chancellor Commander Robinson and Brothers
OF Mu'Voy LOdge:-Permit me in behalf OF your
lady friends to present to you this elegant and
beautiful banner. 1t has been prepared with
strict adherence in form, in design and in color
to the requirements of the supreme authority
of our Order and bears upon its brilliant sheen
the mystic symbols and letters whose signih-
canoe you have already SO fully learned. In
those olden days, when the progress of the
worlds liberty and progress, the preservation
of social order and virtue, and the growth and
advancement of civilization were committed SO
largely to the valiant Knights of that chivalric
age, among their most powerful incentives to
smiles the favor, the approval, the loving cheer
of woman. To vindicate her honor, the armor
was donned with lightest heart and the garlands
of victory woven by her were the brightest re-
ward of the returning cavalier. In like man
ner, Sir Chancellor, do we in this later time
find in the approving words and loving APP
plause Of woman at once our strongest incentive
and our highest reward in our endeavor that
friendship may be universal, that charity may
be constant and benevoence all pervadlng in
the community in which we dwell. Accept
then this banner as evidence of the confidence,
esteem and favor these women bear towards
the principles of the Order and for the zeal
with which you have discharged the duties it
imposes and as from time to time your eyes
shall rest upon its bright folds, may you ever
find in it that which shall arouse and cheer you
to new and grander effort in the course Of hu-
man veal.
Chancellor Robinson of Munioy responded in
fitting terms, accepting the gift in behalf of his
Lodge in the spirit in which it was bestowed,
and pledging the Knightly honor of all its
members ever to maintain inviolate the princi-
pies of the Order, and always to preserve the
standard thus received from the stain of dis
honor or the tarnish of unknightly act.
After brief speeches from several members of
the Order present the company separated

DIsTILLERs IN TRoUBLE.-The men ar
rested Friday by U. S. Deputy Marshal Maj
BILE were brought before Commissioner Rand
Saturday and ordered to recognize with sur
cites in the sum of $1,000 each for their ap-
pearance at the Circuit Court in this city on
the 23d of September. The principal is James
Brown, who has been running an illicit dis
tillery in Windsor for some time. Dominick
Winn is charged with conspiring with Brown
to defraud the United States revenue. S. l..
Carleton appeared for the defendants, and u.
S. Attorney Webb appeared for the govern
ment. Brown is an old gray headed man, very
iufirm, and is obliged to walk OF crutches.
Winn is a middle aged man, very rough look
ing, and from appearances has been living in
the swamp where he says he has run his dis
tilery. The government has several wit
nesses from Windsor and also Mr.. Stoddard,
deputy collector of revenue at Gardiner. The
parties furnished bail and returned home Sat
urday.

Democratic and generally Objectionable school.
Mr.. Noyes is good citizen, but for ''political
cuSsedness' he can't be beat. -'
