Evading the Law.

The methods employed in hiding liquor
kept for unlawful purposes are numerous
and ingenious, but the height of the art has
been reached by rum seller on Commercial
street, whose hiding place was discovered
Monday by Officers Steele and McGrath
The oficers-~were looking around 10 see
-1Uaa. ttii;;ss5 could find, and McGrath stepped
behind the counter in the back room which
served as the bar proper. Here, placed in
such a way as not 10 be easily SEEM was a
wire which was used to draw out the nozzle
of about five yards of hose, which led down
through the floor and underneath to the
hiding place of the liquor. Cutting a hole in
the floor, the officers could see that the hose
led to large object under the floor and
directly beneath the large stove which stood
in the centre of the room. The stove was
moved and the officers pried up a trap door
which was completely concealed by the
stove. Beneath the door was large box
half filled with stagnant water. In the
water rested barrel of beer, to which the
hose was attached.
The officers drew off a quantity of the
beer to take to the station and think they
have clear case against the keeper, whose
name is Hagan. The young man, evidently
the bar TENDER who was in the room when
the officers began their search, suddenly
vacated the premises when they approached
the stove.

The Lynn Lasters' Crusade.

Boston Journal]
Mr.. B. f. Spinney, of B. F. Spinney & Co.,
Lynn, upon reading the special despatch in
The Journal this morning from Portland, re-
viewing the troubles with the Lasters' Union
at Norway, Me-, said that the state
ment was as fair as anything which he
had read concerning the difficulty
The firm had not been threatened
by the Lasters' Union, but at the time
the Union made its demands for the adop-
ton of its increased price list for labor, ow-
ing to the time twas made and the condition
of the firms business, the demand was ac-
coded to-. The firm was entirely undecided
what to do. At present its factories in Nor
way and Lynn were running by the Lasters'
Union, but the Union and the factory could
not exist together in Norway One or the
other must go. If the firm was to contend
with the Union in its business, it preferred
to do it in Lynn rather than in Norway. The
firm had nothing to say at present, but be-
tween now and the next trade it would de-
eide upon course of action. 1t was prepar-
ing for contest on its old fighting ground.
Its policy would be shaped at the conclusion
of the season. He said: eve are thinking
seriously of returning to Lynn

CAMP VIM. A. WINsHIP, /
August 4, 1885. !
The "Venerables" are in high feather to-
day. This being the fortieth anniversary of
the club, the boys laid out for an extra good
time-and they are having it. This day for
ty years ago, six young fellows started for
Portland Head in hayrack drawn by one
horse, on a fishing excursion. They enjoyed
the jaunt and sport so hugely that they then
and there voted to make similar excursion
yearly. Thenceforth the first Tuesday in
August found them on their way to the
haunts of the Gunner. For time the print
tive hayrack served as means of convey
ance, but of late years they have made use
of more comfortable vehicle, and better
adapted for rapid locomotion. The name of
the club-Venerable Gunner Association
we believe was adopted when the adjective
''verdant'' would have been more appropri-
ate. Be this as it may, there can now be no
dispute that it is well entitled to the name it
bears.
Of the six original members there are now
four living, one of whom can boast of at
tending every anniversary ofthe association.
The present number of members is limited
to twenty, and when vacancy occurs it is
speedily filed. There are now two vacan-
cies, we believe, oecasioned by the death of
Lucius NJ Knight of Boston, and of the one
for whom the camp is named, the loss of
whose good fellowship we all profoundly re-
greet. In its forty years of existence it has
borne the names of fifty members ON its roll,
twenty of whom have passed away. This
brief review we have thought would not be
out of place at this interesting period of its
history.
At an early hour this morning, majority
of the members were on their way to the
campground The weather was not propi-
tious, but the party was safely sheltered in
Bluff Cottage before the rain fell 1t was
worth drenching even, to sit on the piazza
and watch the riotous old ocean, the i'm
mense rollers heaying in and breaking in
clouds of spray on the neighboring bluffs
with a roar like continuous thunder
After a breakfast, gotten up in Robinson's
best style, the boys employed themselves in
various sports, and time passed merrily on
though the clouds rained without, mirth
reigned within doors. The business meeting
was deferred until after dinner at which the
usual reports of the secretary and treasurer
were read ;alSo letters from absent members
