Who ara Thaxzo

A whole family, including the mother-in-law,
stopped over night at the Lewiston police sta
ton. The story of the man was that himself and
family resided in Searsmont, to which place
they were returning. He had been at work at
West Gray, he said, during the summer peeling
bark for two Portland men, names not given.
who when his work was DONE cheated him
out OF his pay, and the entire family, consist
ing OF man, wife, two children and mother-in-
law, started to walk to Searsmont and got as
far as Lewiston all right, and left in good
spirits for the balance of the walk, some sew
enty-fve miles or more. And now the ques-
ton is, who are the men that defrauded him?

A Novel Arrest.

Last evening young lady walked into the
police station leading boy Of about thirteen
by the ear. She delivered her prisoner to
Uncle Oliver and stated her case. She said
that as she was walking down Congress street
the boy, who was a perfect stranger to her,
accosted her and commenced by using insult
ing words in addressing her, but ended by
making an attack on her. She didn't propose
to run, but stood her ground, mastered him,
and carried him down to the station where he
was locked up, the young lady declaring her
intention of appearing against him in court
this morning.

Portland prouident Association.


A brief statement of the work which this
association has accomplished during tie year
past will doubtless be interesting to our citi-
zens, therefore we append detailed account
of receipts and disbursements. The system of
supplying work by the city to able bodied ap.
plicants for charity has work admirably, and
has greatly lessened the number of applica-
lions from those unwilling to work. 1t will be
remembered that the last report embodied the
important fact that out of thirty able bodied
men who applied to this society for charity and
were offered remunerative employment, but
six accepted it. By this test twenty-five men,
in every way capable of earning living 1.-TWO
not being eligible) were prevented from impos-
ing upon the society, and using funds SO much
needed by the weak, sick and incapable, who
need all and more than we have to bestow.
lnthe last report it was mentioned that a
plan to prevent imposition. by securing the CO
operation Of the charitable organizations and
charitable people of the city, was desirable.
Such society has been formed, composed of
representatives of the various charitable socie-
ties and churches of the city, and its success
will be assured if all who are interested in the
welfare of the poor are willing to act together
to one end. Such an organization is greatly
needed. as through it the moral elevation of
the poor can be better accomplished than by
any other means. The giving of money
and food is but a small part of charity. The
larger part is to make the poor self-supporting
We again call attention to the fact that con-
tributors can always be supplied with cards
addressed to the agent to aid in reaching any
case of need coming within their knowledge
The agent, Joseph R. Thompson, will call in
few days after circular is left, and great
favor will be conferred by placing Immediately
in an accompanying envelope such dona-
tons intended, so that he will not be obliged to
call again. None but the above agent is au-
thorized to collect funds for the association.

expenditures:

My Dear Sir-I wish to express my thanks
to you and to the other managers of the be-
nevolent organization which you represent, as
we'll as to our generous citizens. who furnish
the means for your val able charities, for the
very great aid you have rendered to myself, to
the truant officer and to the school department
of the city, in clothing so many INDECENT
school children the past year, and making it
possible for them to attend the public schools,
and especially in making it an express condi-
ton of your bounty that such recipients of it
shall attend school. By this wise and generous
action of your society scores of children, who
would be worse than wasting their time on the
streets, have been in regular attendance on
the schools In view of the good already done
by your society and in view of the great need
OF further aid to such children as the cold
weather approaches, we trust our good people
may still continue to furnish your society with
more ample means for this and the other nu-
merous charities so we'll dispensed by you

The following testimony to the success of
the work of the association will be read with
interest:
Daily Republican., 1880-05-26

MATTHEW N. SELovER of the Eighth
Ward, will find his name upon Mr.. Car
penter's tax books and he can call on
Mr.Carpenter any time and pay his tax,
get receipt, and be prepared to vote.
The name of Captain Joseph sooy Of the
Second Ward is no where on Mr.. Bed
ford's tax books though he is certain
that he and Mr.. Hughes, the assessor
of the Southern district, saw the name
on Mr.. Hughes return assessment book
at New Castle. In such a case all Cap
tain sooy or any body else in the same
position, will have to do is to get GER
tifcate from the Clerk of the Peace, that
the name is on the assessment. This
will entitle the collector to place it
upon the tax duplicate and receipt as
on other cases will be given when the
tax is paid.
Daily Republican., 1880-05-26

ONLY THREE days remain now until
the Republican nomination for Sheriff
and Coroner will be over. OF course
every candidate is doing his best to get
all the votes for himself that he posi-
bly, can, in an honorable way. Every
Republican should vote at the nomina-
tion election and only such known
Democrats as will honestly pledge
themselves to support the man, who
may be nominated at the election.
This is in an accordance with the resolu-
tion passed at the meeting Of the
County Committee last Saturday The
Democrats alluded to of course are pre-
sumed TO be honest men who mean
what they say, and who if they offer to
pledge themselves to vote for the NOM
inee Of the party whoever he may be,
their word cannot be doubted. We be-
lieve that there are many honest Dem
ocrats who desire change who will
nave no hesitation at the Republican
nomination, when requested, to pledge
themselves to support the successful
nominees of the party.
Daily Republican., 1880-05-26

We WOULD again urge laborers and
workingmen to call at 602 Market
street, and pay their taxes to Messrs.
Carpenter and Bedford, the Collectors,
while work is plenty and wages per.
haps better than they may be as fall
approaches. Another advantage in at
tending to this matter early is that if
the name is not Oh the tax duplicate
the assessment at New Castle may be
searched and If found then a certificate
may be procured from the Clerk of the
Peace, to have the name placed on the
tax duplicates. All this takes time
and it is best not to put off ais matter
until few days before the election.
Attend to it now.
Daily Republican., 1880-05-26
The Democratic convention.

Notwithstanding the expectations o
a little flare up at Dover yesterday a
the Democratic State Convention, every
thing passed off very quietly according
to the programme laid down by the
leaders of the party. The ffty-fve dele,
gates from New Castle, representing
$1,000 population, met the one hun
dred and ten delegates from the two
lower counties, representing 10000
population, ratified the ticket to Chi
cago turned out by the machine, ate
humble pie and came home as highly
plessed as a school boy who had solved
the fifteen puzzle. The machine for
once ran smoothly, without the least
friction, and on that account was in.
tensely undemocratic. As we predicted
yesterday the two Georges, neither of
them Washingtons, but Bates and
Gray, from New Castle Ex-Governor
Salisbury and ex-Congressman Will
liams, from Kent; Congressman Z. L.
Martin and A. P. Robinson, Esq., in
stead Of John H. Payntsr. from Sussex,
were sent as dslsg atss to the Cincinnati
Convention to cast the six votes of Dsl.
aware for the favorits son, Thomas F.
Bayard. For once a Democratic Con.
vention was held without bluster and
bad feeling, which is so contrary to all
previous Democratic Conventions that
we may well suspect that revolution |
is in progress in the party which bodies
it no good. In the halcyon days when
Samuel Townsend and William Dean
made things lively in Democratic Con-
ventions, q regular row in the Demo
cratic camp was the sure precursor of
victory, but now that everything has
got lovely SO suddenly and the Repub-
licans become boisterous, may we not
expect victory also to change to the
,ther side.
