Evening Sessions.

A praise meeting was held from to 7.45
o'cl ock, led by Rev. R. Scott of Hebron, inter
spersed with singing. large number of ties
timonials were given.
At745 o'clock the convention was called to
order by the president.
Singing and devotional exercises followed.
John o. Rice then made the following ad
dress of welcome to the reform men:
ADDRESS OF MIR. RICE.
Mr. President and Gentlemen and Ladies
Unexpectedly have been assigned to po-
sition that many more fttingly might fill. but
a duty certainly one of pleasure. 1t is in be-
half of the Portland Temperance Reform Club
to extend to the gentlemen who have
come from the different parts of our state
to participate in this convention, most COR
dial welcome Having common interest and
object binding us together as brothers in the
great question of moral reform which may
follow, the words of mutual encouragement
offered. The comprehension of the great work
that lies before us all will contribute to our
strength of mind and purpose, to our own good
and to that higher aud pobler object OF saving
those who have sank beneath this dreadful
scourge of all evils that strangely is having its
most fearful effects in the christlanized coun-
tries of the globe. The word temperance is
defined: Moderation in regard to the indul-
| gence of the natural appetites The word
| seems paradoxical in its application to the use
of any alcoholic beverages to one knowing the
| effect whether in moderation or excess, but
| there are two words in the meaning defined
| ''the act or practice of voluntarily refrain,
| ing from an indulgence of appetite" THESE
words are the true principles upon which our
own safety depends upon which we may secure
the blessings Of health, happiness and better
life, upon which our efforts in behalf of Others
| only Can be crowned with success They are
total abstinence Our work is charity, unos
tentatious, true and practical. We are re-
stricted by no sectarian influence. 1t is q
brother, man, human soul we seek to save
We are non political. Sooner, Guild we desecratt
| the affairs of our churches, than perform so sac
| religious an act as to degrade this great mora
| question to the levelit would reach if allowed
| 10 be manipulated by partizan enmity anC
| strife. We are non-prosecuting. 1t means ou
/ duties are one of love, sympathy and encour

A representative of the REPUBLICAN
being in attendance at the meeting of
the Trustees of the Poor Of New Castle
County, which was held in the aims
house yesterday, a stroll was taken
through the various buildings. Each
and every department was found in a
neat and clean condition, which is not
a rare occurrence, for visit it when you
will, you will al ways find it in the best
of order. In the Insane Department,
which is under the control of Mrs.
Emerson, q 1ite a number of inmates
are confined, only two or three of which
become very violent, and they only at
times. A strong double cell, the door
of which is lined with metal, is in
readiness for the prisoner now confined
in New Castle jail for stealing horse
and wagon, who has been pronounced
insane, and he will be brought to this
institution for treatment in few days.

Complaint.

A gentleman complains of the delay
sometimes occasioned in moving freight
trains across the streets to the great in
convenience of persons who are In a
hurry. The gentleman referred to says
he was going to New Castle in car
riage on Tuesday evening, but was de-
tained nearly half an hour by freight
train that stood across Market street
by actual count by his watch. Grow
ing impatient he went to the gate keep
.r and remontrated with him about the
delay, when soon afterwards the train
moved off which it could have as
easily done a long time before. The
gentleman says 1t ls no fun waiting in
a carriage half hour for train to
pass by with the mercury cavorting
around about zero.

The Mutual Unl0n ToleGFsph eoa.
Dany Establlshea In their New
OAee II Third and Market
streets.
The new office OF the Mutual U MON
Telegraph company, on the southwest
corner Of Third and Market streets, il
now about completed and the Office
opened for business. The office is fitted
up in cozy manner, the carpenter
work was done by John B. Johnson.
The desb arrangements are very handy.
The ceiling is decorated in Mr.. John
Anderson's best style, and the name of
the company In gilt letters has been
placed On the windows::by Mr.. John b.
Stradlsy. A large and imposing sign
il placed above the entrance door on
Third street. One of the most conve--
nient, as well as novelties in the way
Of telegraplnc Office furniture is quar-.
tot table, which is decided improve
Iuent over the old tables, and is the
only one of the kind in the city. 1t is
designed for economy of room and Is
very convenient, as is all of the various
appointments in the Office. New poles
have been placed along Market street,
to conduct the wires to the Central Of
fee which are still in a green condition,
but will b0 painted as soon as they be-
come seasoned
Mr.. Lewis jarvis is the manager of
this Office and is assisted by Mr.. Frank
Sweeten. These two gentlemen will
attend to the business of the Office for
the present, until the business warrants
putting on more help. Mr.. Denison
will have charge of the uptown office at
Robinson, Chandler & Co.'S. The wires
of the Mutual Union Telegraph Com
pany will extend as far east as Port
land, Maine, northwest as far as St.
Paul, MINI, west as far as st. Leuis
and south as far as Louisville, Ky. 1t
has taken this company but little
over a year to extend these wires this
far, and work il continually going on
toward extending them over wider
extent Of the country.
The messenger boys of this company
will all be clad in suits after the fash
ion Of the naval MILDLY, which consists
of a small navy blue coat, with cap
of the same goods all trimmed with old
gold stripes, which make the neatest
uniform ever worn by the messenger
boys. The operators are now perma-
nently established in their new quar-
ters and the office is kept open day and
night.

called out in tones of desperation, "God
will avenge this outrage"
Judge Cox then turned to the jury
and said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, cannot ex-
Press too many thanks for the manner
in which you have discharged your
duty. You have richly merited the
thanks Of your countrymen, and l
feel assured you will take with you TO
your homes the approval of your con-
sciences. With thanks, gentlemen OF
the jury, dismiss you"
THE COURT ADJOURNED.
With this announcement the Court
WAS declared adjourned, and the now
famous trial, which has absorbed the
public interest for more than ten weekS
was ended. The crowd quickly left the
Court room, and the prisoner, gestic-
ulating with his manacled hands, was
led out. As ne passed the reporters
table he leaned over and called out to
an acquaintance, "Tbe Court in Bane
will reverse this business"
His appearance was that ofa man
deeply moved with Indignation at some
outrage or indignity which had been
put upon him. As he was being put
in the van, the crowd of men and boys
upon the pavement yelled and shouted
themselves hoarse in mockery Of the
prisoner 3 constant boast: ''rhe Ameri-
can press and people are all with me-"
The van was quickly driven away, fol-
lowed till out Of sight by the jeers and
yels of the crowd.
PROBABLE COURSE OF THE DEFENCR
Mr.. Scoville will probably file mo-
tiOn 10 arrest of Judgment and for new
trial on exceptions. The law gives the
defence four days to file the motion and
reasons for a new trial, and it is custs
mary tor the Court to sit some day to
hear the argument thereon. Should
this motion be- overruled, the defendant
will appeal to the general term and un-
der the law the defendant is entitled to
D suspension Of the sentence until after
the next general term, not exceeding 30
days.
The January general term is now in
session, and the case cannot 60 there,
but will be appealable to the April
term. 1t is the custom of the April
term to run until September, taking a
recess over July and August, but should
it be closed 10y tho latter part of May,
then, If the Judgment is affirmed, the
execution might take place in July.
Mr.. Scoville said that, should this
motion be dismissed, an appeal wiA be
taken to the Court in banc In April.
