PoRTLANp, December 90. A meeting OF

notification of the will of the people and dis
reimbursement of this city by the Governor

Indignant SkOWhegau,

SkowHEGAN, December 81. A very enthu-
siastic Indignation meeting was held at Co.
burn Hall, last evening. Hon. J. B. Das-
comb presided Remarks were made by
many leading citizens. A committee ap-
pointed reported a statement of the condition
of affairs for publication which was received
and about to be adopted when Henry Plum
mer, a greenbacker, rose to speak against
them and in support of the action of Garcelon
and his clique. The fusionists had held a
meeting and decided upon a line of action in
case the Governor was severely denounced,
and Plummer chosen spokesman in case the
republicans had small meeting they pro-
posed to claim the right to half the time. As
there were / 200 persons in the hall, most of
whom were highly indignant, such pro-
ceeding would have been rather bad for those
who started it. When Plummer arose, the
chair ruled him out of order. He appealed
to the house and the chair was sustained
unanimously. Then arose a shout of indig-
nation which drove the would-be apologizer
of Pillsbury and Garcelon from the hall. Re-
marks were all well received and the meeting
broke up with three cheers for Governor-elect
Davis and Representatve-elect Stewart.
Resolutions were received from Pittsfield,
signed by IS republicans, expressing sympa-
thy with the objects of the meeting and de-
nouncing the counting out.

The Feeling at DamariscOtta.

DAMARIsCoTrA, December 20. There is
intense feeling here over the action of the
Governor and Council, which will probably
find expression in an Indignation meeting the
coming week by the republicans, and many
democrats and greenbackers denounce the
transaction, perhaps more warmly because
this county is deprived Of its Senator and
one of its representatives, both elected by a

A Gardiner Man SwIndled Out OF 900.

A Gardiner Man swlndled Out OF 900.
Another Gardiner man seems to have been
taken in by Massachusetts sharpers. The
story briefly related is as follows: Lawrence
Kmball, an expressman of Gardiner sold his
team and received in return a one hundred
dollar bill. The first of the week he went to
Boston, and was returning on the night train
Tuesday. When just outside of Lynn he
started through the cars to see if any one was
there whom he was acquainted with. He found
some acquaintance, and was returning to his
seat when he met the conductor OF one end of
the car taking tickets. Mr.. Kimball handed
his coupon ticket to the conductor, and was
about to place it in his wallet when he noticed
two fellows apparently playing cards, in the
seats opposite to where he was standing. One
of them Immediately arose and accosted him,
asking how the people were prospecting at
Gardiner, and especially mentioned Mr..
b, a well known young man in Gardiner,
making such personal inquiries as indicated
intimate acquaintance. TO Kimball's ques-
ton he said, "Well suppose am broth
er to B. My name is Ed. B; don't
you know me?" Kimball had heard of such
a fellow, and even seen him years ago, and
Immediately took the proffered seat at his
side still retaining the open wallet in his
hand. As Kimball was replacing his ticket
he showed this 800 bill, and the so called
B-remarking upon this playfully took the
bill in his own hands. Immediately his COM
panion arose and started out, and the man
himself attempted to go, but Kimball stopped
him, demanding his money, when man with
newspaper in his hand stepped forward and
said, "Gentlemen, there is fine for playing
cards in the cars" Kimball, while protest
ting that he wasn't playing cards, lost sight
of his pretended tOwnsman. He Immediately
started through the cars after him, and en-
gagged the conductor in the search, but not
one of the three men were again seen. 1t is
supposed that they were disguised, As this
B., as he called himself, had heavy side
whiskers and msustache, and as soon as they
got to the platform threw these aside. They
could easily have taken seats and would have
been passed by, as Kimball had not had time
to examine any Of them closely. They had
probably heard of this young B. Of Gardi
ner and had used his name to secure Kim
balls confidence.

In spite of the sharpness of the atmosphere
last evening, there was a large attendance at
the lecture given by Rev. Mr.. Tilden. 1t
wss very interesting production. Below is
An outline of it: =
His subject was, 'Luther at the Diet of
Worms" and was founded upon the passage
of scripture found in first Cor. 10th chap,
18th verse, "Watch We, stand fast in the
faith, quit you like men, be strong" In
opening his lecture he said that during his
wsaderings in the Old World year ago he
visited the famous old German town of
Wsrms, the home of Martin Luther, the
crest reformcr of the sixteenth century.
Worms is the oldest of the German cities and
is situated on the Rhine. In the twelfth cen
fury, in the time of Frederick |. of Germany,
the city Of Worms numbered 10000 inhabi-
tants. The present appearance of the town
10 anything but pleasing. There is nothing
Of interest to attract the traveller, except the
Luther monument, which consists chiefly of
the statue of Luther, and of the supporters of
the reformation. The speaker wildly pic
tured to his hearers the mystic events that
trsnspired in the history of the Reformation,
the influence of Luther's preachings and
writings and the mighty opposition that his
doctrines received. At the age of eighteen,
became learned and fitted for the work in
which he was SO successful At the
age of twenty-five, he was appointed to the
University, and shortly after made his first
visit to Rome. 1t was then that he became
interested for the ancient slories of the
church. His soul was soon aroused against
the wicked proceedings of the Pope's agents,
and ct length he nailed the nincty-five theses to
the door Of the Wittenberg Castle church. In
1879 bill was issued condemning Luther
without hearing. He appealed to the gen.
eral council. In 1920 Luther's works were
burned. Some may be inclined to the opin-
ion that Luther was a moral warrior. This
is false idea. He had great heart but en-
tered no conflict into which deep convictions
did not carry him. The combined powers
of the convictions of conscience and
his allegiance to the truths of the
Bible compelled him to do as he did, and be-
cause he was sustained by the God of all
truth. In closing his very able and interest
ing lecture, Mr.. Tilden said that the teach
ing of our age is to tone down moral distinc-
ton and to send men out upon one great
common where an attempt to blend our
opinions with our neighbors is applauded as
. great virtue. 1t is getting to be one of the
fne arts of the pulpit to know how to preach
without offending any one, to dress up truth
so that it will captivate the irreligious. and
yet not grieve the pious. Another of the
fne arts of the pulpit is to preach so that no
enc can possibly tell by listening to what the
preacher says, what denomination he belongs
TO, only be suro and leave the impression
that he 10 veering towards liberalism. Luz
Tiers decision in 1921 changed the current of
progress in the world morally, but the same
current of progress is dependent for its on
ward fow upon multitude of similar deci-
siens.

siding.
SATURDAY, Dec. goth.
Charles Jewett & al. VS.. Charles IL. Brown.
The case was finished and given to the jury
at Q. 20 A. NJ. They found verdict for the
plaintiffs for $40.

S. Brown for ptf Hatch pro Sc This is
new entry and is tried at this term by consent.
1t is an action of trover for a promissory
note for $500 dated March s. 1879, running
to Abbie Badger or order, signed by
George N. kinsley and payable in
October, 1879, in Clinton, with interest
at seven per cent. The ptf claims that the
note was left in Mr.. Hatch's hands to be
given to her husband if he should procure
divorce which he never did. The note hav-
ing been endorsed by Mrs. Badger, was ne
gotiated by Hatch at a bank in Watervile,
where Kinsley paid it. After the testimony
on the part of the ptf. had been got out, the
parties agreed to withdraw the case from the
jury and report the evidence to the law court
for their decision upon the question whether
upon the evidence the action Of trover could
be maintained.
This is the last action upon the civil docket
where a jury trial is desired at this term.
The jurors were therefore excused from fur
