Letter from Keazar Falls.

KEAzAR FALLS, Sept. IS.
The Mount Pleasant District Lodge, 1. o. Il.
T., held it's quarterly session with Oakland
Lodge, No As at Keazar Falls, on Wednes-
day, Sept. 10th, and had a very pleasant time.
1t was beautiful day. and early in the morn
ing teams loaded with Good Templars began
to arrive in town until about 10 o'clock, when
about 60 of the Order from abroad had made
an appearance at Templar Hall, where pri-
waite meeting was held. The District Templar
being absent, Mr.. NJ. X. Mabry filed the va
cancy.
In the forenoon business of general char
acter pertaining to the district was transacted,
after which an invitation was extended to all
to form in procession and march to the grove
back of Samuel Redlon's, Jr., where long ia
BILE had been prepared and loaded with 1.-THE
good things of life" and they were not want
ing neither in equality nor quantity"
After the table was surrounded with about
70 hungry Templars, grace being pronounced
by Rev. A. r. Sylvester, our former pastor, a
short speech was made by NJ X. Mabry, for
call to take right hold and help themselves,
which they did.
After these had been at the table long
enough to satisfy the inner man, they moved
back and the table was quickly replenlshed
and the remaining (about 40) were treated in a
similar manner.
A conspicuous feature of the table was,
there was no ''tea, Coffee beer, wine or cider, ,.
nothing but pure cold water, an emblem OF
our Order, for drink. All enjoyed themselv es
as best they could for an hour, according to
orders, when they repaired to the hall, where
another private meeting was held.
After some business was transacted the sub
| iect ofiuvenile temples was brought up and
| remarks made by A. j. Chase, G. w. G. T.;
| M. X. Mabry Revs. j. Gibson, j. Buden and
! several others, all concurring in the opinion
| that it was good move in the right direc-
| ton.
Notice having been previously given that
there would be public meeting at the church,
| the afternoon session adjourned to that place
at O'Clock. The meeting was for the purpose
| of organizing a juvenile temple at Keazar
| Falls, and Is young hopefuls signifed their in
| tention of being Templars.
| A public meeting was held in the evening at
| the church and the house was densely crowded,
| showing an interest in the cause of temper
| ance Mr.. Watson was chosen chairman OF
| the evening.
The meeting twas opened with prayer by
| Rev. Mr.. Burden. Then followed some re-
| marks by Major Edgecomb, M. X. Maybery.
| A. J. Chase was then introduced as the chief
| speaker of the evening, who delivered very
entertaining lecture showing up the evils of in
| temperance and the benefits of temperance, af-
| ter which all returned home, feeling it had
been day pleasantly and profitably spent,

MURDER AT SEA.
Terrible Death of the Mate of a Maine
Vessel.

A special despatch from Philadelphia to the
Boston Herald gives the particulars of the
murder at sea of Chas. E. Brooks of Balti-
more, Nd, second mate of the ship Sea King,
Capt. Adams, of Richmond, Me-, brief ac-
count of which has already appeared in our
telegraph columns.
The ship sailed from Hull, Eng, Aug. s, in
ballast, bound to Philadelphia to load petro-
leum All the prisoners concur in the declara-
ton that they were subjected to abuse and
violent threats from the Inflated mate from
the day they left port The watch to which
they belonged seemed particularly exposed to
his threats, and never knew what moment he
might carry thes2sinto fatal effect. He carried
his revolver habitually. The prisoners say
there was no concert of action among them,
but that the deed was the spontaneous work
of those who had been made desperate under
the conduct of their tormentor He had been
beating and kicking the men around in the
most ruthless fashion for several days
On the night of Aug. 15,about or o'clock,
the starboaId watch was furling sails in a
blow when the mate sent the boy to find a
reefing tackle. The lad returned in few
minutes and said he could not find any.
Brooks, the second mate, said he would kill
the whole id watch. The men attacked
him with Delaying pins, like furies, as he was
going forward, regardless of his revolver, and
literally mashed his skull to atoms He was
tripped up by one of the crew, and the others
of the watch, except the man at the wheel,
and, it is claimed, young Hoffman, united in
the assault.
Brooks fingered along until two days after
wards when he expired, and was committed to
the Deep The cook was in irons half day,
but was released to go on duty. The captain
had no difficulty with the men after they
wreaked their vengeance upon the obnoxious
mate. Hoffman says the men wanted him to
help them dispatch Brooks but he refused. lie
took pin, however, and concealed 1t under
his coat. He tried to warn Brooks concerning
the threats of the sailors, but found he could
not do so without detection.
While the mate was on the poop deck Holt
man heard one of the sailors say: "He will
come forward soon, and then Well give 1t to
him." jacobson went forward and. sang out,
"Red light on the port bow" Brooks came
forward As he did so one of the men tripped
him up and then all hands jumped on him ex-
cept one They struck him with the
pins and kicked him. He pleaded for his life.
Hoffman got frightened and threw his Delay
ing pin overheard, which he had not used he
says. When the encounter was all over and
the bleeding wretch. Brooks, lay upon the
deck, some of the other watch came up and
took him below He lived 40 hours after.
None of the men who participated in the at
tack evince any particular remorse over their
act, and it is evident that they regard it in the
light of duty discharged for the whole nau-
teal profession in Kidding it of man whose
reputation and conduct had rendered him such
an object of detestation to them on the cruise

Portlands Two Hundreth Anniversary.
On the 23d of September, $780, the history
of Portland tell us, at court held by Presi-
dent Danforth in Fort Loyal, chat year
erected on the spot where now stands the
Grand Trunk station.) there were granted to
about twenty-five persons there present,
'house lots upon the neck of land near the
fort. This neck of land, as we all know,
was that territory now the centre and most
important part of our present city of Portland.
SIT was Danforth's object" says Mr.. Willis,
''to prepare settlement here which should
contain within itself the means Of defence"
and he adds further sit was one of the con-
di lions of each grant Of a house-lot that the
grantee should make improvements upon it
by building; we consequently find that a
village arose at once, where before was little
else than an unfrequented Forest
Before this time quite large settlement,
whose first dwelling-house dated from 1852,
had existed around Back Cove and the Casco
and Presumpscot rivers, but the map shows
an almost equal distribution of farms all along
this extensive line, and no special tendency to
gather at any point forming nucleus of the
future town. Scattered as they thus were the
early settlers of this region were peculiarly
exposed to the ravages of the Indians, and
did, in fact, often suffer from this cruel and
treacherous enemy, Until in 1916, an Indian
attack quite laid waste the who lie settlement,
burning several houses and taking prisoners or
driving away nearly all the inhabitants. Two
years later peace was concluded at Casco, and
many returned to their devastated lands. Two
years after this, in $780, the province OF Maine
having been purchased by Massachusetts,, flor
the sum of twelve hundred and fifty pounds
sterling) Thomas Danforth, deputy governor
of Massachusetts,, was appointed President OF
Maine. He came hither at once, and entered
upon the task of demonstrating the scattered
settlement of Falmouth.
Now for the first time, the importance OF
''the neck as the site of the future town,
seems to have been appreciated. And now,
for the first time, we find the beginnings of a
town; the first street is mentioned, Broad
street." afterwards King, and now India;
highways are carefully reserved between the
lots and it is ordered that the landing place
at the head of great cove shall remain in COM
mon to the town, as it is now staked OUT
1t would seem this is sufficient to fix date
as the birthday of our dear and beautiful city,
and certainly no time of year could be more
fortunate than the pleasant month OF early
autumn in which it chances to fall. The
writer sincerely hopes that this matter may
commend itself to public approval, and that
the 23d of September, 1880, may be observed
with all due honor and ceremony as the two
hundredth anniversary of this fair towns set
