the difficulty. The birth was duly entered on
the log ''and SO ends these twenty-four hours. .

North Cumberland Congregational Con

North Cumberland Congregational Con
ference.
The North Cumberland Conference of Con
gregational churches held their annual meet
ing with the church in North Yarmouth on
Tuesday and Wednesday, June It'll and Sth.
The attendance was very large, and the church
crowded at some of the meetings. The officers
chosen for the coming year, are:
Chairman-Rev. T. D. Kelsey, of New
Gloucester.
Scribo-Rev. Ell. HI. OSgood, Of North Var
mouth.
Registrar-Rev 7. S. Perry, of Cumberland.
Committee on Feeble Churches
Messrs. f. E. Enrich, G. S. Dickerman and A.
G. Chandler.
The conference sermon was preached On
Tuesday morning by Rev. L. Reynolds, of Au-
burn, on the text Lev. viii:23 1t was treat
ment of the subject of Christian cons oration
as the essential requisite in all our churches,
and was eminently practical and appropriate
for the opening service.
In the afternoon the Registrar and Treasurer
presented the report of the churches, giving a
graphic and Interesting survey of the field and
drawing many profitable refectiods from the
facts afforded. In closing he made allusion to
the recent deaths of Col. Samuel True, of
Cumberland, and Deacon 7. G. MITCHELL of
Yarmouth and paid a worthy tribute to their
virtues. These two brethren have been among
the most regular and jealous attendants at our
conference meetings, and the allusion to them
awakens many tender memories.
The figures given varied but little from
those Of last year, except in the number of
children who have received baptism. In this
the increase is very large.
The reading of the report was followed by
an animated discussion on church obligations,
with reference to divorce reform and kindred
movements.
During the afternoon, also, there was very
large meeting Of the ladies, by themselves, in
the chapel, to consider the claims of missions,
which was addressed by Mrs. Fem, of Port
land, who is said to have spoken in her hap
piest vein.
In the evening, after praise meeting of half
an hour, there were earnest discussions on the
Sabbath, its proper observance and modern
methods of violating it.
Wednesday morning was occupied was a
hope meeting, a discussion on Systematic Be-
nevolence and another on the Sunday School.
In the afternoon sermon was preached by
Rev. e. S. Tingley, of Turner, and the Lords
Supper was administered as the closing service
The next place of meeting is to be deter
mined hereafter. The preacher for next mset-
ing is Rev. P. B. Wing, of Freeport, with
Rev. Mr.. Burnham, of South Freeport, substi-
tute..

The Flower Mission

Tomorrow morning the Flower Mission will
commence its work among the poor and unfor-
tunate Of our city, and contributions of flowers
are earnestly solicited. This branch of the
work of the Womans' Christian Temperance
Union is justly popular one. Last year to the
hospitals, Old Ladies Home, and to individuals
800 bouquets were distributed. Flowers can
be left at Congress Hall every Saturday morn
ing between and o'clock, and persons hay
ing flowers to contribute which they are unable
to send, if they will inform the committee at
the hall, they will gladly send for them. The
amount OF good accomplished will be limited
only by the supply of flowers. Persons who
nave an abundance can hardly realize how
highly appreciated even few flowers are by
poor sick people who have no other means OF
obtaining them.

CHASE-DEEHAN.
Informal Hearing Before the County
Commissioners.

The informal hearing before the County
Commissioners in the case of Chase and Dee
han, ex-Deputy Sheriffs, for payment for SER
vices, came off yesterday morning
Both Messrs. Chase and Deehan claimed
that when it was understood by them that a
hearing was to be had ON the 29th of March for
payment of their bills for services during the
month of April, they started for the Commits
sioners' office, but on their way were met in
the corridor of the City Building by Sheriff
Sawyer, who told them that there would be
no hearing and that the protest against paying
b cir bills had been withdrawn, and that they
would be paid. Those bills were paid by
Sheriff Sawyer and they supposed he was le-
imbursed by the Commissioners. They had
no desire to take the money out of Mr.. Sawyer.
Both gentlemen claimed that the bills now
presented, one of Mr.. Chase's for $1S for SER
vices from March LIST to 9th, inclusive, and an
other of Mr.. Deehans for $32, for services
from March LIST to 10th inclusive, were justly
due. Both claimed that, although they had no
memoranda of services performed in detail,
yet Mr.. Chase said he had been on duty at the
office daily during that time; had been request
ed by the Sheriff not to resign until after cleo
ton, May 18th, and again requested to hold on
until Mr.. Turkey had sufficiently recovered to
attend to business, and he consented He had
also made seizure at Gorham's Corner DUR
ing that period and spoiled good suit of
clothes in laudable effort to do the state good
service. Mr.. Chase also claimed that when
appointed he was requested to get book and
keep the accounts for the liquor Deputies but
the second morning after it was procured it
was taken from his desk and Mr.. Turkey
had double Clocks placed on his-Tuk
ey's-desk. He claimed Sheriff Ring was
paid when he was on vacation, and that
he could prove that gentleman not such an ef-
ficient officer as generally believed
Mr.. Deehan said that he had made several
seizures from March LIST to 18th, Or rather as
sisted, as deputy sheriff, in the seizures, but
bis name was not even recorded as an aid on
the books. He also made entries and hunted
up 100 to $50 places where it was reported
liquor was sold and corrected names that had
been incorrectly reported. He claimed that
Notwithstanding the words of the statute, the
deputies were not allowed to make seizures
unless warrants were given them by Mr..
Turkey, who was "head seizer" They were
considered as under captain whose word was
law.
Both gentlemen then made formal claim for
pay for their services, as rightly owing them.
Nobody appeared to protest against the pay
ment. The Commissioners will today record
the bills as payable if they deem them justly

THE FRIENDS.


The meetings of the Friends will begin in
this city today and continue week. The first
meeting of the ministers and elders will come
off at 9 o'clock today and will probably be ad-
journed to 2 p. NJ, and the latter meeting to
p. m.
Last night the trains brought large numbers
of the Friends who have taken rooms at the
City, United States, Falmouth and Preble
Houses. At the latter house we noticed the
names of Henry 7. Wood and family, W. G.
Tabor and wife, Geo Rowland, Mrs. Slocum
and daughter of New Bedford, George Robert
son, Eliza P. Gardiner, Mary S. Knowles and
friend, Phoebe Jewell, and others.

the Friends Westinghouse on Oak street last

That Citu Maatipn

Mayor Senior has been out of town for day
ar two, and no one else is authorized to call a
special meeting of the City Council. An effort
has been made to reach him by telegraph but
failed. 1t is probable that four members of
the Board Of Aldermen will agree to reconsid-
er and pass the order passed in the Common
Council appropriating $500, so that the COM
ruittee of the Soldiers and Sailors Association
will not be impeded in their action and Port
land be guilty of making great mistake.

TEMPERANCE.
The Campmeeting at Maranacook.

This temperance campmeeting bids fair to
eclipse anything of the kind ever held in this
State. The grove at Maranacook is commod-
lous and everything that enterprise and Law
ish expenditure of money could do to make it
attractive and enjoyable has been done by the
Maine Central. Large and well-furnished
buildings, pavilions and band stands adorn
and give it the air of first-class summer re-
sort. The grove in on the very verge of the
lake, skirted by wide plank wharf. Several
small steamers are in readiness to make de-
hghtful excursions on the lake. The camp
meeting commences at o'clock Thursday at
ternoon, July 2Sth, and holds four days. AS
before stated, His Excelency, Hon. Harris
M Plaisted, will deliver the opening address;
other prominent speakers will be present.
Friday will be devoted to union meetings Of
all temperance workers. At p. M, Hon.
Nelson W. Dingley of Lewiston will speak up
on Prohibition in Maine" This address will
be looked forward to with great interest as it
will be an answer to the criticisms upon the
"Maine Law" which have been made during
the past year. Saturday will be "Children's
Lay. Miss Nolllo d. wye, TreSlQout VI Ile
Juvenile Temple in Maine, has accepted an
invitation to be present with as many temples
as can attend. All the Sabbath schools will
be invited, and extremely low rates made by
rail so that the thousands of children can
make this their annual picnic excursion. Mrs
Stevens, President of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, has accepted an invita-
ton to make the headquarters of that organi-
cation on the ground during the meeting.
Rooms will be arranged for them where they
can meet for consultation and such other pur-
poses as they desire. The meeting will close
Sunday. 1t is now expected that John B.
Cough and Wendell Phillips will speak dur
ing the meeting. All the details of the meet
ing, excursion, rates and trains will be fully
announced

while the latter must bear with it declara-

as though it were rare, reference to the diaries
of 80, 10, rs and '73 give similar accounts of
cold, frosts, SHOWS and damaged vegetation be-
tween the 9TH and 10th of June. There is moth
ing SO very remarkable in Vennor's predic-
tions. Any one can with almost certain safety
and correctness, if they have observed at all
iu a few years past, predict cool weather for
the first part of June and hot days the latter
part. Dog days are usually in order, and sui
try days in August. There will probably be

start. At 1910 the starting gun was fired
The sloop Idler passed the line first and two
minutes and half later all the boats were on
their way. After the start the wind shifted
from the northeast to the southeast and de.
creased in force. The race was very exciting
among the second class sloops. The Clarence
won the cup and second class race by one
second, the Tempus being next. The latter
arrived back first but on account of being a
larger boat than the Clarence, more allowance
has to be made for the latter.
The Ray won the race for first class boats.
