Athena LOCALS
Numerous tramps have been seen here, and
they are a terror to farmers families. The
question is agitated, what should selectmen
do when able bodied men apply for aid? It's
plain, in the daytime they can earn their din
ner. Not long since five were supplied one
night and all left after breakfast next morn
ing. The keeper Of the town farm was called
up to wait upon them. He has but one spare
bed it 10 said, ccolbmodations for transient
company being limited. Probably they did
not sleep in it. Our people are ready to feed
the honest poor but do not wish to be i'm
posed upon.-The patent rights fraad has
been perpetrated about here. 1t is amazing
strange how easily men will give their votes !

A Letter Suggesting Encouragement to
the Reform Club.

the Reform Club.
Mr.. EDITOR Among the organized asso-
Citations in our city, working for the public
good, know of none more worthy of recog-
milton and encouragement than the Augusta
Reform Club.
1t is composed of men who have reformed
themselves from habits of intemperance and
who have thus banded themselves together,
not only to strengthen their own position,
but to enable them the more effectively to
reach others, and by kind but earnest persua-
sion induce them to give up their cups. sign
their pledge, and accept the sustaining in
fuence of the club to keep them steadfast.
This associated influence of the Club is a
help to the newly reformed man, which those
who have never felt the need of it are incapa-
BILE of appreciating such are too ready to
say that man having resolved to stop drink
ing needs no other influence than the exercise
of his own will to sustain him. not consider
ing that in most cases the man has no will of
his own, he is the slave of the demon alcohol,
and all the safeguards which the tenderer
solcitude, born of true brothery love, can
throw around him, are not too many to keep
him from the damnable influence of rum and
evil associates.
attended the last Sunday afternoon meet
ing of the Club, and was deeply impressed,
not only by the earnestness of the members
IN the work tney are engaged In, nut by the
fact that there seemed to be something lack
ing to complete the full measure of their use
fitness, and that something, I am forced to
conclude, is want of appreciation and en-
enlargement by the public, especially the
better classes. Surely there are none too
high i'm the social scale to feel Indifferent on
this subject the fiend whom these devoted
men and women are contending with is no
respecter of PERSONS he steals into the homes
of the rich and cultivated, as well as those of
the poor and lowly, and almost before are
aware of his presence, has touched some
loved one with his fatal wand, and opened the
door to untold agony and wretchedness. If
the good effect of this work is so desirable to
all classes, why should we not all give it
such encouragement as it deserves? And
submit that as first step in that direction,
nothing would encourage, and cheer the
hearts of those who have taken the field
actively in this work, or inspire more life
into the Club than full attendance at the
meetings. and l do hope thar next Sunday
afternoon Reform Club hall will be packed
to its utmost capacity.
I understand that such disturbing infu-
ences as have operated to the disadvantage
of the Club in the past. have been removed.
and that genuine reform has taken place
within itself so far as the management of the
Club is concerned, barring out all questions
of political or sectarian nature This is
as it should be, and hope will be appreciated
by the public.

THE DAcoIrs or THE DEccAx

CALCUTTA, May l9.-Dacoity, or robbery
by armed gangs. is assuming alarming proper
lions IN the Deccan. especially In the POona dis
trct. For some time pnst bands OF Dacolts have
been securing the country and committing a
series OF daring attacks on houses and villages.
They seem 70 form part OF regular organiza-
ton under the command OF one Wassadeo Bull
wund. lately a clerk in the Financial Depart
ment. On the 10th "A band 200 strong attacked
the village OF POlhuspe. near Panwell on the
opposite side Of Bombay Harbor They entered
the house OF rich man named Gunesh Punt
formerly Dewan OF Baroda, and. after wounding
several inhabitants, carried of property valued
at 10000 rupees.
On Tuesday night the Boodhwar and Wish
rambaR palaces at Poona which are half mile
apart were set on fire simultaneously and to-
tally destroyed. together with several adjacent
houses. 1t seems beyond doubt that both fires
were the work OF incendiaries and they nre
generally attributed TO Dacoits. Boodhwar
Palace contained the magistrate's court ard
several public Offices. while Wishrambag WAS
occupied by the Government high school and
the Education Department Offices. The records
Q! this court aud all these Offices are lost, a.
also the Government book depot. with books 10
the value OF $1,000. Altogether about 80 houses
have been destroyed. the loss Of property being
very great. The ilre would probably have done
much more damage but Tor tho assistance rem
dered by the seventy eighth Highlanders now
qunrtered at Poona. Great excitement prevails
Tho Dacoits have carried their audacity to
the pitch OF sending a manifesto 90 the Bombay
Government. In this remarkAhle document
they INFORM the GoNernment mat great distress
prevails in the country: that unless extensive
puble WORKS arc NJ once op-ned, employment
provided Tor the people, native trades encour-
aged, taxes reduced and the salaries Of highly
paid Europeans cut down they will not cease to
plunder but will extend 10 Europeans what they

bay on his way 20 Mahableshwar will hang the
Sessions Judge OF Poona. will carry murder
and rapine throughout the country. and stir up

The manifesto ends by warning the Governor
that unless he AT once complies with the requi-
sklons the price OF 900 rupees will be put on
