According to previous notice the con-
gregation of the Congregational Church
met at the church on Thursday evening
to take into consideration the resignation
Of the pastor, Rev. j. L. Maile. Some
of the society thought that Mr.. Maile
had not presented bis resignation-that
he simply wished to rest few months
while he might fave an opportunity,
and recruit bis health, and that any ac-
ton by the society in accepting his res
ignation would be premature. and in
fact resigning him. Others understood
that Mr.. Maile intended the society to
understand that he had resigned his
charge here. -,
After talking the matter over pretty
fully, it was decided that it was best if
possible to keep the church open; and
to that end the trustees were instructed
to procure supply for the pulpit as soon
as they could do so; and for length of
time that they might find it necessary;
We think the action taken is wise, for
it certainly would be detrimental to the
interests of the church, as well as to the
pubhc at large, to have the church
closed.

Sneak Theiving.

The developments OF the past few days
show that Cheboygan contains some
sneak thieves. Tuesday night they Wis
tied r. E. Prattis clothes line and took
away some underclothing. Itwould seem
also, that the thieves spent the night in
the sparlors- of the skating rink, aud
not only this, but they desecrated it by
turning it into a kitchen. They stole
some chickens. They were hungry, so
they built up a fire in the old stove and
cooked them. Just hoy many chickens
there were. or where they were stolen
from as yet is not known. A pair of
drawers were left there which had the
appearance of having been just taken
from line. These were not Pratt's there.
fore it is evident they called at some 9TH
er clothes line besides his. The noise
the vagabonds made in the rink was heard
and the light seen, but no one thought it
worth while to examine into the matter.
There is no clue to the perpetrators of
this rascality. Until they are brought to
justice, our citizens would do well to
look little out" for theft chickens,
clothes lines, or anything else of a NOV
able nature.

A SLIGHT .onnteasantness.n

Thursday night little onpleasantness
occurred in Charlie Bellant's store. 1t
was caused by a discussion regarding
the dissensions which have for the past
week or more been going on in the Cath
Olic Church. The principal actors in the
difficulty were DIR. Pommier and Sam
MacCoit. The latter was d warm par
tisan Of Father DeCeuninck, while the
doctor was on the other side of the con-
troversy. The dispute waxed very
warm, and ended in blows; which
were inflicted upon MacCoit By the
doctor. Perhaps there were some blows
the other way, but our reporter could
not learn definitely about it.
MacCoit did not appear to be seriously
damaged when he sought the aid of His
Honor Justice Sutton the next morning.
But he made complaint of assault and
battery, and the doctor was soon arrested
and appeared before the bar of justice,
and pleaded not guilty.
His examination was set for next Mon
day.. when we suppose the full facts of
the case will be developed.

Quite frequently we are called upon for
a copy of the TRIBUNE by persons seek
ing location for business, either in the
manufacturing or inercantile line. The
following, taken from the Jefferson (Mo.)
Journal, shows what prominence is given
the to advertising department of news
paper. i'm judgingof the business pros.
poets Of town:
About week ago a gentleman from
Tennessee, representing capital OF
$4,000, in search Of a good locality in
which to engage in business, gave us q
call. and after stating his mission, asked
to look at our paper. We handed him
the morning Journal, and to our sur
prise he did not stop to read our newsy
local "pick-ups," or our attractive edi.
torial page. but turned at once to our
advertising columns. and commenced
counting our advertiseFs and measuring
their space.
"Wei!," said he, glancing up from the
paper, '.is that all !? Is that the business
of this town ?''
SOh, no." said We, ''here is the Tribune
with few advertisements that don't ap-
pear in the Journal"
He then counted two additional local
business advertisements in the Tribune
and again looked up, with the remark:
"And that's ALL. is it? Why, you
haven't got near as much of town as L
thought you had.
And then We explained to hiti that
we have great many business men who
do not advertise
"They are not business men to hurt if
they don't advertise" was his answer.
We could not contradict him, and we
We're powerless tovihdicate the ''claims of
the city,"
He left us, saying if he had time he
would look around, but thought this was
no place for him.

A meeting of those Interested was
held on Wednesday evening last at the
store of j. O'Conners, and the following
arrangements were made for the sport:
The rules of the American Trotting
Association are to govern the races. The
purses for the first days races are to con-
sist of SO, $25 and $l5. The winners
of the two highest purses are to be
ruled out of the second days races. The

some Of our citizens in the vicinity of

fish to take the matter in hand and see
that the lakes are stocked while there is
an opportunity ~
We understand that there are men in
town who claim that they cannot get
enough work to do to keep them from

talk. Any able bodied man who is will

a Cry OF Fire Causes a Stampede From <
Cincinnati Theatre, and Nine wom.
On and Children are Crushed
to Death.

Last Saturday afternoon Robinson's
Opera House, in Cincinnati, was crowded
to its utmost capacity, to see the per-
formance of the"A "Allegory of the Great
Republic" The audience consisted main
ly of women apd children, the tickets
having been sold by The children OF the
public schools.
just as the curtain was about to rise
upon the first scene, some tool or fiend,
it is difficult TO determine which, started
the dread cry of " flre!' Like clap of
thunder succeeds the vivid flash Of light
ming, so followed the deadly panic on
the heels of the cry of fire. Every inch
of the vast audience room was occupied
by the eager audience.
AS one body, the whole mass of hui
man beings made rush for the stair
ways. A human torrent going head
long down the halflighted stairways.
carrying everything before it, until the
crushed and smothered, wounded and
dying mass of women and children, lay
piled upon each btber at the bottom of
the stairs to the depth of five or six feet.
Over this helpless mass, the stampeders
who had not lost their footing continued
to rush pell-mell, tramping out the life
Of those below.
After time the panic was quelled and
the work of rescue came, and it was as.
certaiped that there were nine women
and children crushed to death; besides
a great number who were more or less
injured. n =
This is one of the most disastrous ac-
cidents which has ever taken place in
Cincinnati
Whether the cry Of fire which caused
the trad gedy was malicious or not, prob
ably. no one will ever know, although
many think it WAS.

A man from Black river, manned Enault,
came to town Monday for the purpose of
paying his taxes. Instead Of doing so he
went around among the saloons until he
became very drunk. Then he went to
the Benton House and went to bed. In
the morning he found all his money gone,
and complained that he had been robbed.
He was sure that he counted his money
before he went to bed, and there was four
b bills and one 81 bill. The money was
gone, of this there was no doubt, but to
demonstrate that it was stolen from him
after he went to bed would require more
evidence than Enault is able to give.
