Wanted to Use His Raxar

-Four tramps were brought before the Au-
burn police court Tuesday for an assault on
Conductor Pratt, of the Grand Trunk. Con.
ductor Pratts story, as he told it in court,
was that two of the four men whose names
were John Grace and James Butterwo rth,
boarded his train at Portland with tickets for
Mechanic Falls. He informed them that
they must change at Lewiston Junction. AT
Lewiston junction the two didn't change, and
before the train had moved out of the station
the conductor asked for fares. They refused
either to pay or get off the train. The whole
four of them were then sitting together. and all
four of them were intoxicated The train
was stopped and Butterfield and Grace were
put of the train. The conductor says that
he had just turned around when some one
shouted look out for the razor" The gen.
tleman who shouted said one of the pair had
razor in his hand and was evidently prepar-
ing to make an assault upon Mr.. Pratt. The
conductor had been told to look out for
the entire party before they eft Portland.
They had, it is understood, been handling
razOrs very carelessly in the past and two of
them had very bad records. The oldest is
not more than twenty-five and the youngest
is perhaps nineteen. The names of the other
two are James Kelley and Thomas Corbett
They were fined $50 and costs in each case
and all four went to Jail.

Rev. L. B. Bates of Boston, noted Evan
gelist preached At the stand Wednesday af-
ternoon. His subject was 1.-The Compassion
OF Christ" his text being found in Math XIV
IA. Mr.. Bates il man of commanding
presence and pleasing address, who appeals
strongly to the sympathies of his hearers in
MS efforts to bring them to accept the Gospel
OF Christ. There is, said he, door to every
heart If you are wise enough to find it,
None are beyond the reach Of the Gospel, and
the compassion of Christ is inexhaustable
All the healing in society comes from Christ.
During the altar service, which follow ed the
discourse. several penitents went forward
acknowledging their need of q Saviour's
healing power.
The evening discourse at the tabernacle
was delivered by Rev. Mr.. Haskell Of Booth
Day, from Psalms XVII. Sth: God COM
mands us to seek His face, and if we do not
obey Him we suffer the penalty. If we do
not heed his commands we have no claim
upon His promises. The bible, although
silent force, is a constant and powerful one.
No less is the life and daily walk of profess
ed Christians force for good or evil. See to
II, therefore, that you walk uprightly
before God and man. A very wicked
man was asked by his neighbor to read the
Bible. He replied, Il do not read that book
you are my Bible" This should be con-
slant and striking lesson TO every professed
follower of Christ. Let your life attest the
sincerity of your profession.
An altar service followed the sermon and
several came forward for prayers.
Thursday A. NJ, Rev. L. b. Bates again
preached at the stand. He made an effective
appeal TO the unconverted and several came
to the anxious seats invoking the prayers of
the righteous.
The meetings, which have been interesting
from the beginning. are increasing in interest,
and the prospect now, is that large number
or people will be present the last days of
the week.
