MASSACHUSETTS,.


Boston, Feb. 23.-The fifth annual conven-
ton of the New England Reform League at its
session to-day elected the following officers for
the ensuing year: President, William B. Green
OF Boston; Vice Presidents: l. X, Joslin OF
Rhode Island, John Orvis of Boston, William
X. Corning of Maine, s. s. Foster of Worces-
ter, Mrs. M. E. Albertson of Boston; Record
ing Secretary, William B. Wright; Correspond
ing Secretary, E. H. Haywood. The treasur-
ers report showed the receipts and dsburse-
ments of the year at ABOUT $4,000, and the pres
ent balance in the treasury $40. Resolutions OF
the usual radical type were presented and adopt
ed. One of the chief features of the proceed
ings were brief speeches from A. Bronson AL
colt and Vice President Wilson, advising less
violent and acrimonious tone of debate. The
former briefly stated his ideas on discussions
and the spirit in which they should be conduct
ed. The object, he said, in discussion should
be to find where the participants agree and not
try to find the point of disagreement To agree
to disagree is the true. principle of discussion:
MIR. Wilson, who was urged to address the
meeting, followed Mr.. Alcott, saying: agree
wholly and entirely with him in the matter OF
discussion, and all my experience in life leads
me to endorse what he has said. We think dif-
ferently, see differently, feel differently. The
honest and conscientious mind utters it cOnvlc-
tions and the more honest that mind is in my
judgment, the more charitable it is towards the
difference of opinion among other met, and 1t
seems to me that this is the manner in which
reformatory discussions ought to be carried on,
and if our discussions in deliberative assem-,
blies were carried on on that basis it would aud
much to the honor and grandeur and peace OF
the bodies that are called on to deal with com
pick difficult questions always arising. Il am
glad always to hear all THESE questions discus
sed, whether political, reformatory or whatever
they may be, in good temper and spirit. Gap

MHSCELLANEOU NOTICES

81 MEDICAL.-Facts are stubborn things to con-
tend with. We acknowledge to a strong old
fogyish orthodox, alopathic belief, which is
strongly inclined to use the terms infidel,
hereto, quack Sc, and we would perhaps not
be in a general way adverse to applying the
latter epithet to our advertiser, DR.. Fitzgerald.
But whatever name he may be called by the
facts remain About six months ago we met a
lady who was suffering from cancer in the face
the disease was of nearly ten years standing
and had gone so so far the sufferer seemed to
have nothing but death to look forward to; one
eye had been sightless for a long time, and was
protruding from the head; the face was swollen
and disfigured most terribly and the woman
had suffered inexpressible tortures from the
disease. To please her friends more than from
any hope of cure, she applied to DR.. Fitz-
gerald. having previously been under the treat
ment of the most celebrated physicians in New
England, and for a long tine an inmate of the
Massachusetts General Hospital.
That the woman could live, seemed as it was
acknowledged by regular practitioners, an impos-
sibility. Yesterday, we saw the lady again, and
could scarcely believe her to be the same; the
face is virtually WELL entirely free from pain.
and the only Disagreement results from the face
having been cut before she applied to Fitzger-
aid. The sight of the eye has returned, only
she sees two objects instead of one, a defect
which the doctor assures her will be remeded
by time; if she improves during the next six
months as she has during the past six, she Will
be entirely we'll. Naturally she does not con-
slider the doctor quack.
The lady in question is the wife of Eugene
Thurston, freight conductor on the Boston &
Maine railroad, and has lived until very re-
Gently in Durham, N. H., but for the past few
months has resided in Georgetown, Mass Peo-

The State Prison Investigation.
The Committee to investigate the State Prison
matters meet to morrow to examine witnesses
The Indications are that the balance of the
week will be SO occupied. Among the
witnesses summoned are Cyrus Mickey and
E. Burton, ex-deputy wardens; DIR. Chase, d.
Morton and j. FL. Basket, ex-overseers; d.
G. Marden, salesman; three guards, Warden
Rice, E. Otis, Esq, and three others. 1t is
probable that the examination will be confined
to the charges and not be allowed to ramble.
Without doubt Messrs. Knowlton and Talbot,
both lawyers, will conduct the examination
largely. No counsel will be allowed, as it IS
understood that this is to be an investigation
purely and not a trial Warden Rice will be
permitted to question witnesses through the
committee.

CoRoNER's VERDICT. - Friday Coroner
Gould empanneled a jury consisting of Messrs.
John Reed, Eben F. Harmon, Cummings
Rogers, Daniel r. Dresser, John Newman and
Isaac Bailey, all bf Deering, in the case of N.Y.
rick Emerson, killed by locomotive while
crossing the Maine Central track at Woodford's
Corner The jury brought in its verdict late
yesterday afternoon. The inquest was held
with closed doors, County Attorney Libby be
ing present. 1t appeared from the evidence
that the train was running about eighteen miles
an hour. Mr. Emerson had his neck broken
and must have died instantly. He was warned
by the signal man, but did not look up, appar-
emily being in an distracted state of mind. The
following is the verdict:
We find that the said Myrick Emerson came
to his death by accident on the afternoon of the
Goth of February, at Deering, by reason of a
collision with passenger train No. II of the
Maine Central Railroad, at the railroad cross
ing on Spring street, and that said train at the
time of said collision was being driven &C an il
legal and dangerous rate of speed.

Matrim Omia1 Umfe1icifies

Last evening Deputy Marshal Williams re-
ceived dispatch from the City Marshal Of
Lewiston, requesting him to arrest man and
woman, both married, whom he would proba-
bly, find together at some hotel in this city.
Search was made and the people found at the
American House occupying separate rooms on
different flights. They of course stoutly denied
any evidence of wrong doing. The woman
said she was going back to her husband, an Au-
burn shoemaker, in the morning, that she hap
pened to know the man, whom she met at
Brunswick, and that by his advise she went to
the American House. Her husband was I'M
reasonably jealous, and felt uneasy if she was
away from home moment. The man
told substantially the same story. His
wife was jealous, but seemed willing to
spare him for great many moments. The
people were detained al the station until the ar
rival of the Lewiston City Marshal on the pull
man train. He says the deserted husband
came to him and said his wife had packed up all
her property and some of his and then taken to
flight and that the man she was with had con-
verted all his property into cash. The trunks
were checked to Boston, and tickets were
bought to Hallowell to throw the pursuers off
the track She registered her true name at
the American House, and he an assumed one.
Word has been sent to tine deserted ones at
Auburn, and they will appear this morning.
The meeting of the four promises to be of no
little interest.
