CENTENNIAL COMMISSION was meet
ing of the centennial commission, held at the
Falmouth yesterday afternoon. The resigna-
ton of Hon. C. P. Kimball as President of the
commission was offered, as that gentleman is
about to leave the state. 1t was accepted and
J. H. MCMILLAN, ESQ.,, of this city, was elected
in his stead. The following resolutions were
passed:
Whereas the Hon. Charles P. Kimball be-
ing about to remove from this state, has deem
ed it necessary to resign the position of Presi-
dent of this Board,
Resolved, That our association with Mr.. Kim:
ball thus far has established high sense of
the value of his energy and public spirit, and
also his devotedness to the interest of our state
and this Board, and that while we deeply re-
greet the necessity which compels his resigna-
ton as our President, his removal from this
state will not involve his withdrawal as mem
Der of our Board, but will increase his oppor-
tunities of promoting our object; that, there
fore, we positively insist upon continuance of
his membership with US.

TEMPERANCE-The meeting at the City Hall
last evening was larger than any OF Its prede-
cessors, and the enthusiasm was much greater,
and if this meeting is taken as an indication
of those to follow, a great flame is undoubtedly
kindling. The president, M. G. Palmer, Esq.
introduced as the first speaker Capt j. Is.
Coyle, who said that one morning last fall he
awoke to realize that he had entered his seven
tieth year, and had done nothing for humanity
that made him feel that the world was the bet
ter for his living in it. His remarks were
practical and to the point: he was now in the
work and the result of doing good was go-
rous feeling. His comparisons were such as to
convict and convince.
DR.. D. W. Wood followed in an eloquent and
touching picture of the e7ils of strong drink.
Following his own life, its admonitions, sor-
rows, properties and viclssitudes, he held his
audience entranced, from which they found
relief occasionally by some beautiful flights OF
oratory, that broke forth in torrents OF APP
plause. His logic was deep and searching, and
his vivid illustrations of the evils of the traffic
scathing and horrifying. From the wanderer
and forsaken TO the powerful pleader for hui
| W. s1S
drunkard was not soullness, but man." Mr..
Wood is an earnest as well as eloquent speaker,
free from all rant, and without auy theatrical
gestures or funny stories, and holds his audi
ence by the magic of his burning words.
Albion Little, ESQ.,, in some we'll timed and
practical remarks, next followed. He could
find few hours in the busy tolls of life to de-
vote to this cause, and found working for hui
mainly paid largely in the contemplation of
good done.
Capt. Foss of Saco, at this stage of the meet
lug. was discovered in the audience, and being
invited to the platform, spoke briefly OF the
work in that city. He believed there were no
places in Saco here men could procure liquor,
at least be knew of none The captain gave
way on seeing the Rev. MIR. Blanchard, who,
being invited to the platform, thought he want
ed considerable more fire in his boots than he
had to hold an audience at that hour, and yet
for over half an hour held his audience as
though it wree the first of the evening. His
characterizing Of the traffic was more severe
than most laymen are privileged to indulge in,
and met with warm endorsement by his hear
ers. His reports were cheering, and and his
speech good and full of hope and inspiration,
and those who did not hear it missed a good
thing.
Tonight a new relay of speakers will be Oh
the platform, and good time may be antici-
natad

SITUATION OF HYDRANTs.-There are
number of street hydrants just now which are
frozen up, and in case of fire it would be ex-
tremely difficult to obtain any water from
them. 1t is an, important fact that nearly
every hydrant which is frozen up is situated In
the sidewalk, while the hydrants in the mid
die of the street, directly over the main pipe'
with hardly an exception, are not frozen. This
matter should be remembered when new n.y.
drants are being put in. Yesterday one of the
steamers was employed in the afternoon thaw.
