NEW HAMPSHIRE.


A Turbulant Temperance Meeting.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. IA stormy meeting
of the Temperance Reform Club occurred last
night. David Webster, liquor spotter, who
was recently confined in Jail here for perjury
in connection with his ally, Thos. e. Daake,
but released because of alleged failing health,
was a speaker During his address he com
menced to give the inside history of how he
came to be engaged in the spotting business in
this city, giving the names of parties here who
employed him and also their agreements His
revelations caused decided commotion,
speedily ripening into turmoil, in the midst of
which emphatic denials and as emphatic af-
formations were freely exchanged between
prominent leaders of the temperance cause
and the speaker, many siding with Webster.
The meeting finally became so turbulent and
the language SO threatening that the police
were summoned, their appearance serving to
somewhat allay the excitement. The affair
causes much derogatory talk upon all sides,
and in the opinion of those best informed has
greatly retarded the temperance work in this
q itV.
