Baptist Social Union,

The regular quarterly meeting of the Wes-
tern Maine Baptist Social Union was held last
evening at the Falmouth House. At the BUSH
ness meeting several motions not of public IN
terest were discussed and decided. A very
large number were in attendance from the va
rious churches in this section Of the state, and
at eight o'clock the company sat down to a
bountlful repast. After this had been fully
discussed, the President, Geo. f. Emery, Esq,
introduced Rev. w. T. Chase of Lewiston, who
read a brief paper upon 1.-THE most practicable
| method OF utilizing the lay element of our
churches" The paper abounded in practical
| hints bearing upon this important topic. The
| lack of organized methods for training indi-
vidual Christians for religious work was de-
| clared great want in our churches, and
several valuable suggestions as to the forms of
organization which will do this work were made
The paper bore evidence that itscame from the
heart and brain of one who is not in bondage
to any conventionalisms or time-worn customs;
that he scans results not methods and that he
fears not to use the artillery of the world, so
be it the battlements of He'll are tumbled
down.
This paper was followed by another upon the
same topic by Geo. f. Emery, Esq, OF this
city. This paper was designed to consider the
topic from the ''pew end of the house," and
while of necessity touching upon many of the
points included in that OF Rev. mr. Chase his
treatment was entirely distinctive. Many OF the
suggestions of this paper deserve thought and
attention. Neither of these papers will admit
of an abstract. They were warmly and enthus-
iastcally received by those so fortunate as to
be present.
Brief and pertinent speeches were made by
Rev. N. Butler of Bangor, Rev. Mr.. McWhin-
ME of this city, and others.
At late hour the session closed. 1t was
unanimous expression that this was far the
most interesting and profitable of the meetings
of the Union yet held.
The question for discussion at the next meet
ing of the society as recommended by the exc
cutive, is as follows: "What changes if any, is
it desirable should be made in our methods of
public and social Worship"

architect, who has recently gone into business
here, has large number Of buildings on hand
which he is furnishing the plans for. Mr.
Kimball was pupil of George M. Harding,

his tutor in the excellency OF his designs. He

fence and taste. They have been examined by
competent Judges who pronounce them the best
plans for large city church edi6ce they have

gress street. 1t will be large double house

ed will add greatly to the appearance of the
street. The insidowill be finished with all the
modern conveniences and will be one of the
finest blocks in tie city. Mr.. Wescott has the
contract for the mason work, and the wood
work will be let out. Mr.. Kimball will furnish
the plans.
A number of gentlemen are to club together
and put up monster brick block the coming
season for families. The location is not yet
settled but it will be decided soon.

continued. and slight modification of the
plans for locating the east jstty were recon-
mended, also slight alteration in its curva-
ture. SO as to render the &C ion of the current
more effective and secure greater solidity.
1t was also recommended that this lefty,
which is on the windward side, should over
lap the end of the west jetty, at least three
| hundred feet 1t was further decided that
one thousand feet was the most desirable dis
lance to leave between the artificial walls by
which it is proposed to deepen the channel.
The length of the east jetty will be about
twelve hundred and seventy feet. Very little
now remains to be a,ted upon, and it is ex-
pected the board will close its session on

JEALOUSY.
A Man Stabbed Through the Brain
With a Sword Cane.

AT 10 o'clock Sunday morning desperate
encounter took place at the corner of Marais
street and Carondelet Walk, between Louis
Gilbert, one of the crew of the schooner Two
Sisters, and joseph Green, employed as fire.
man in the Bienville Oil Factory. 1t seems
that while Green was living some time back
at No. AZ Where street he was in constant
quarrels with his wife concerning Gilberts
attentions to her.
This aroused the green-eyed monster in
the breast of Green, and caused him to follow
the movements of Gilbert. On Sunday
morning Green left his house and sat down
on the bridge at the above mentioned corner
Many minutes had not elapsed before Gilbert
came along that way, either going to or from
the schooner, lying in the old basin. Green
went over to Gilbert and told him that if he
ever caught him at his (Green's) house again
that he would cut the life out of him.
Gilbert denied ever having had any intima-
cy with Green's wife. After this Gilbert went
on. Green was so much wrought up by rage
that as Gilbert left the spot he showered in
vectives upon his head. The sailor then
turned round, and went to where Green was
standing. AS he approached Green raised
his cane with one hand and attempted to draw
the sword
Gilbert Immediately saw that prompt action
upon his part was necessary, and rushing
upon his antagonist desperate encounter
ensued The sailor managed to get hold of
the handle of the stick, and giving sudden
jerk managed to get the sword out Of the
stick and with it stabbed Green in the tenn
pie.
The blow was given with such force that
the sword passed in and completely through
the left temporal bone, penetrating the brain.
The negro fell backward and exp red about
five minutes afterward.
Gilbert, the sailor, then surrendered him
self to an officer and was locked up.
A pos: mortem was held, with the above re-
