dence assembled at Chestnut street vestry to
hear this gentleman on the subject of temper
ance, and were entertained for over an hour
and q half with one of the most sound, combin-
ing and entertaining addresses that it has been
our good fortune to listen to. The effort last
night was grand success as a logical argu-

than argumentative, and we advise all to hear
him as il wllin all probability be the lat op
portunity in this city to do so. A collection
will be taken to defray expenses.

snowslides. Persons on the streets were con-
stantly in danger of having their heads knock
ed by snow or ice from some overhanging roof.
The vender of peanuts who stands in front OF
Music Hall, was plying his vocation with the
utmost earnestness when a big slide of snow
came plump into his cart. He didn't cry pea
nuts any more during the day, but took his
wares home to dry.
A snowslide on Commercial street frighten-

leather dealers stock exchange, when Is
much needed addition to the business conVen-
ences of this city. The first step proposed 70
be taken is to hold a conference and supper,
where the matter can be talked over and an
exchange of ideas made. A preliminary meet
ing was held Thursday evening in one OF the
large manufacturing rooms on Middle street,
and an adjournment made for one week. At
the adjourned meeting it is expected that ar
rangements will be made for the supper anu
conference. A hundred or more business men
will be brought together to discuss the deiica-
cies set before them, and to organize an ex-
change and sample room where manufacturers
and de alers in all kinds of goods pertaining 10
this branch of our industrial business can snow
their samples aud negotiate purchases ana
sales. 'i[.. t5.' o..
This exchange should be open to all manu-
facturers and dealers in this state,-and indeed
to apy other state. When this is accomplished
we may hope to see Southern and Western job
bers and retailers focking to our city in quest
of Maine made goods, which are deservediy
popular wherever they have been tried.
The fact that our manufacturers are so wide
ly dispersed over our state is one reason why
purchasers from other states have not come
here in greater numbers for goods; but ii the
proposed arrangement is carried out as II
should be it will give an additional impetus to
this business which has already become SO
enormous as to dwarf all other kinds of manu-

Death of Hammond.

Friday morning passenger onthe train 'rpln
Boston to this city stepped off at Dover. he
was bleeding profusely from the lungs "nen
he train started he attempted to get on, pu'
was unable to, and few moments after 1eli on
the platform, weak from the loss OF blood. ne
was taken to the waiting room, but lived only
about an hour, dying from hemorrhage OF the
lungs.
This man was the man known as G y. HAM
mond, an employe of Detective j. ). Hunt Oh
Boston, and brought to the notice CT fortiano
people so prominently of late IN conhection
with the robbery of the Cumberland county
Treasury. 1t will be remembered that ne
claimed to hold the key to the mystery anu
that the arrest of the New York men was made
on evidence furnished by him. The detective
thought that Hammond was playing MN 1alse'
and that he stepped off the train to avoid ap-
pearing in court here. But it now appears tha'
the man intended to step on the train AGAIN,
and was only prevented by the sudden attack OF
hemorrhage which so speedily resulted IN MS
death.
The nature and value of the evidence winch
he pight have furnished in the case, had he
lived, it is impossible with the present lnlor,ia-
ton to estimate If that evidence was i"-
nortant. it is not probable that his death has
wholly destroyed its value; for what ne Kne"
he told to the detective. But his sudden a's'
appearance from the scene is another STRIKING
feat1lre of a strange affair.
