T.c Scandal Volcano Giving Promo.
n!!iun~ Of Another Eruption.

Brookiyu Argus 10th,
For several days rumors have been rife
that District Attorney Britton was ncgo-
lin;ing to enter nJuc proScY"j in the
ra.a Of Henry Ward Bcccher against
Francis u. MouIton for SANDER. Mr..
Moalron has been pending the summer
In the Eastern States, and much Of his
time in company with General Butler,
hi, attorney IN the above suit.
1t has frequently been stated that an
indictment WI, procured against MuuIton
by conuivancc, III order To prejudice or
in,npaci,ate him rs witness in the Ill
ton case. 1t wli be remembered, when
he WA, called as witness for Mr.. Tlltonr
Mr., B,echrr's counsel objected to MS tes-
ufvlnr. Judse Nelson ruled that he
might testify, and cmphaticaiiy added
,h,u counsel could not yet men indicted,
and thus destroy them as witnesses
Il will also be- remembered that in the
month If June Nr. Moulton demanded
IF District Attorney Brilt0n trial Oh
tine Indictment. Mr. BrItton evadrd
the question by Il most extraordinary re-.
uly. showing his bias against Mr.. MouI-
ION, Vet not showing disposition to
brins him to trial for remarks which, II
untrue. would consign HIM to Il telon :
cell. The slnsularity OF this position, on
the pnrt of the District Attorney, MIR.
Beechcr and his friends, OF denouncIns
Moultum ~ Il )ibcllcr, yet not beng wall.
ing To- prove that he Is one, has attracted
much attention.
1t is now asserted upon good authority
that District Attorney Brlt,on says he
fears a reopcning Of the scandal will have
bad cnec. upon society and that he
wishes TO enter nolle.
1t Is well known that Mr.. MoUIton re-
ru.,, to so settle the case He has said
that an indictment charging him with
malicious SANDER WAS II serious attack up
ON his character; that he was ready 10
nroyc his charges, and he was entitled To
an opportunity to prove that he had not
.pokrn falsely concerning MIR. Bercncr.
Yesterday Mr.. Moutun and Gen But
Ier came to town. Immediately many
uew.pupcr men were after them to find
ont what is in the wind. But both But
Ter and Moultcm are n ddmb on the sub.
i,rt as oysters. Gen. Butter says that
This time he proposes 10 have his client :
case tried IN the courtroom. and not
through the newspapers. All have to
saw, SAID the General, rs that when men,
to serve their own Interests, take the FISK
of getting client OF mine indicted on
ia ,se charges, obey must iake the legal re-
spuusiblIitv of their action.
Moul.on simply refers his intcFy'ewers
to his attorney.
This morning. about II o'clock, District
Attorney Britton and Mr.. Mou,.on were
observed in conversation Ola the street
What passed between them II was ImpoS-
sib.e to ascertain, but from the earnest
ness OF their manner there appeared to hr
little doubt that important business was
on the taps. One person remarked
You will see Moulton on his knees IN II
few minutes Another one said; y ca
had better send for an ambulance, for II
Britton give, Mouton any OF his lmPu'
dcrre You Will see broken head
Both gentlemen Were questioned as to

If to Tee good man and a successful
man Is ohcnsivc'to the world at large, TO
he praiscd is eXaspc!ating. No greater
u..tinducss can bee done to any man than
H. prui,c him much. People generate
will stand moderate compliment paid

qualify il, or to admit it rs matter OF
generosity or courtesy; but praise per-
sisted in will ruin the reputation OF any
body. There is nothing more offensive
to the average human being than per
: s,ent luudation bestowed upon another.
To hear 4 man warmly praise Is sum

we would like to have distributed Il Int

Let lis strike the average as nearly n
possible. Let us be good fellows rather

all that We do for mankind, only feeds

The severaity of the extremely cold
weather is said to have played havoc
with the birds OF the air and the water
fowl. Thousands of crows have been
starved and frozen to death. They
have also been found blind, unable to
navigate from loss OF sight. and help
less from cold and want of'food. This
blindness is caused by the starved
birds picking each others eyes ont at
night on their roosts, where, in their
reduced state from hunger. they fight
with desperation. and practice in ex-

The community will learn with deep regret
that Mrs. Starr Dana. wife Of I. 7. Dana, M.
D., is dead.
Mrs. Dana was the daughter of Daniel Starr
ESQ.,, (who removed from Halifax, N. B., to
this city in 1922 and the sister OF George FL.
Starr, Esq, of this city. She was born in Hal
flax in 1886, and was married in 1854. A little
more than week since Mrs. Dana was seized
With an illness which her constitution, SKATER
ed two years ago by an attack of pneumonia,
was unable to withstand. BY her death six
children are left motherless. Mrs. Dana had
been for many years an efficient and beloved
member of the State state street church, and
was long actively interested in the Woman
Christian Association. Few ladies in our city
could be more widely orideeply mourned. Her
unusual sweetness and force of character, her
winning and consistent piety, and her personal
attractiveness combine to make large circle OF
friends feel bereft by her death.

TROUBLE AHEAD.-Some time ago runner
for Boston firm met one of PortIapd's fair
daughters on the train coming from Bangor.
The lady was alone, and the young man, he
was lonely, so being seated near together they
soon fell into pleasant conversation. The run
ner was very much pleased with the lady and
was bound to keep up the acquaintance which
he had formed by chance. When the couple
arrived in this city instead of taking orders to
the "Hub'' the young man fingered here. The
young lady was very pleasant when he called
at her residence on Bracket street, and the
poor deluded young man thought she was good
and true but alas for human expectations!
After stopping here several days he proceeded
on his way, rejoicing in his new found love.
He wrote kind and loving letters, which were
answered in such an ambiguous manner that
the young man was confused. But determined
not to be beaten he visited the "Natural Sea-
port" and offered himself to the charmer. She
was some surprised, but accepted, land the we'd
ding was arranged for early summer. Not
many weeks after his return to Boston he re-
ceiyed letter from his intended saying she
had reconsidered her acceptance and begged to
be released from the engagement. The young
man was shocked on receipt of the above, and
lost no time in answering it. He didn't say
much but gave her to understand that he
couldn't release her, and that the wedding
must take place per arrangement. She thought
but little of the letter thinking he was trying
to brighten her, but yesterday she was assured
that he meant what he said. A letter was re-
ceiyed nv the younp lady from a prominent
lawyer in Boston stating that her was-to-be
husband had retained him as counsel and that
unless the marriage took place at the time set
suit will be commenced against her for breach
of promise. AS the young lady is worth a
handsome property the result is anxiously
looked for.
