The Meeting in City Hall Saturday
Evening.

The temperance rally, Saturday evening, at
City Hall, drew forth a small audience, COM
posed largely Of ladies' people apparently pre-
ferring the beautiful evening out of doors to
the oratory Of the supporters Of Mr.. Cox.
The meeting wae called to order by Mr..
George L. Kimball, who read letter from the
Rev. e. 7. Adams expressing regret that the
writer could not be present on account of sick
ness, and endorsing Mr.. Cox's candidacy while
deplOring the necessity of a third party.
General Dow said, 1.-THE Maine law Is ashore
Just now. We asked the Legislature to haul
it Off They've refused, but we'n get at them
at the next election" He charged that the
law was not enforced ia the cities and justified
the Cox movement.
Mr.. Kimball then read an article published
in the Evening Express of Saturday, purport-
ing to be an account Of meeting of rumsel-
lers and expressing their high opinion Of Capt
Deering as a temperance man. Mr.. Kimball
said that he believed this story, and then pro-
ceeded to charge Mayor King with the nom
enforcement Of the liquor law, and accused
Marshal Decelle Of confessing that he thought
he might prosecute one fumeeller because he
didn't believe he was a Republican. Judge
Gould also received a share of the speakers
the Judge did not weigh evidence in accord
ance with the rules laid down by Mr.. KIM
ball.
Rev. DR.. Bashford said that he learned that
the candidates nominated by both the large
parties declared their intention Of enforcing
the law. We have, ut least, not failed 10
arouse public sentiment and whoever may be
mayor the fact of this demonstration viii
force him to do something to suppress the
liquor traffic. So we may vote ourselves

established the fact of the magnitude Of the
liquor question by interesting comparisons
with other great public questions.
The Rev. Mr.. Williams was called for and
endorsed the movement.
Mr.. KimbAll then detailed the actien which
led to the nomination of Mr.. Cox.
DR.. Bashford said that Mr.. Deerine and
Mr.. Fogg had not approached him on the
question Of municipal politics and urged the
followers Of Mr.. Cox to vote the whole ticket.

that the President.eect had different views on that
question than many members of this House. Dis
uhgulshed Republicans held different views from
Ihe majority of their party. 1t was q question of
monetary science, and nothing else. One word as
70 the alarm which had been sent throughout the
country as to the crisis which was to come
as result of the continued coinage
Of silver. Notwithstanding the care with
which the letter referred to had been prepared,
Notwithstanding the candor with which the views
OF the President elect had been formulated in this
parucular he was mistaken. The condition of
things hieh was predicted in the public press as
aDout 70 lake place was an impossibiitY. 1t was a
oondltion OF things that never had taken place in
any any country in the world With currency Of
$1b0,O0O 600, it was impossible that this currency
should go below the par of gold 1t was not in the
power Of all the banks of this country aided by all
the banks OF London, to put gold to premium and
keep IL there so long as the volume of money was
Kept down, aside from gold, to $4,000 600.
The bill was read for amendments.
Mr.. Ellis offered several amendments increasing
tne appropriations for the repair, ETC., of forth-
cations, but they were severally rejected.
Mr.. Ellis then moved to strike out the entire
clause as being useless waste of public money,
which motion was also rejected.
On motion of Mr.. Reed of Maine, the paragraphs
were stricken out which prescribe the cabre of the
guns to be manufactured and the manner in which
hey shall be tested.
rLe committee then rose, reported the bill to the
House and it was passed. This is the last Of the
appropriation bills.
Mr.. Forney of Alabama submitted the conference
report on the army appropriation bill and it was
agreed to. The only point of difference between
the Two houses was the Senate amendment striking
out the clause permitting courts martial to hold
tnelr sessions at such hours as they see ht. The
aouse recedes from the disagreement, and the
clause goes out of the bill.
Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky at 6.10 moved that
the House take a recess until II o'clock Monday,
election cases.
Mr. Tumer of Georgia objected and as the latter
pare Of the motion needed unanimous consent, it
was not received.
Mr.. blackburn then moved to suspend the rules
and adopt the motion indicated pending which Mr..
bennett OF North Carolina called up the North
IS aleJt to a scat pending which Mr. Hammond of
Georgia moved adjournment
The motion was carried, and at GAO the House

ALAMEDAs, 3; BIJoUs l.
The league game between the Alamedas and
Bilious Saturday evening at the Alameda in Bath
was one of the best of the season. The home club
never played better game, each being in the
right place and doing the right thing every time.
Duunng secured every rush and the first goal,
while Roberts made the other two, Norway made
agood stop the first thing. but Leydon sent the ball
into the cage again from The side with much force
that it came out again. This aroused the boys
and for minutes of uninterrupted play both
clubs did hhe work, but finally by play from Ley
don to Dunning to Roberts the Iass named got the
first goal for the Alamedas. 1he second was hard
fought goal with doubtful results uRtil Gledhil got
clear shot from center and Gagged the sphere.

third goal was only one minute in duration, and

playing by both clubs and long wait. wi hin one
half minute of the conclusion of which Roberts
Gagged the ball. Again and again during the game
both goal tenders made Incredible stops and far out

thusiastic crowd was in attendance.
BIJoUs VS.. ALAAIEDAs TONIGHT.
Tonight at the Bijou the Alamedas will meet the
Bilious again, this time lockwood rollers. Man
ager Whittier states that the whole Bjou team will
be present and play, something they have not done
in the last three games with the Alamedas. After
seeing their game with the Bay States it is hard
believe that the Bious won't come pretty near to
doing the same with the Alamedas as they did with
them. Still they may not and probably won't il
they get scared as easy as they do sometimes. The
front seats in the galleries will be reserved and will

GANG OF SWINDLERs.
Expose of Methods Esrncticed by Begu
Firm ia Boston.

Expose of Methods Prncticed by a Bogus
Firm ia Boston.
Boston, March 1.-The Herald will expose
the methods practiced by gang of swindlers
who have been fleeing farmers of Vermont,
New York, Ohio and Illinois under the pre-
tence OF conducting bona hde produce COM
mission business Three of these men, Oliver
w. Roper, II. W. Colson and j. W. Harris,
are now awaiting trial for conspiracy, but the
fourth, who is well-known 10 the police, has
not so far committed himself as to be amena-
BILE to the law. The practice of the gang was
to adopt firm name differing only single
letter from that some of the some house doing
a legitimate business, then to have printed
lot Of letter heads which we're circulated
among farmers together with circular Offer
ing prices for produce in excess of the current
market quotations. II the farmer was curi-
ious az to the firms standing a glance at the
commercial agency reports would apparently
satisfy him, as in his hurry q slight difference
in the firm name would escape his notice and
ne woald find the rating Of the legitimate firm
to be first-olasS. In addition to different bogus
produce firms that have been started by the
sgihdlers, they also engaged ia baukiog bus
mess under the the name OF the National Loan
and Trust Company in this city. This was
ran as an auxiliary to the produce swindle, they
assuring their victims Shat they banked
with that company, and that drafts upon that
concern would be duly honored. In many
cases the unsuspecting farmers drew upon the
company only to have their drafts returned
dishonored. Among the names under which
these man have operated are the following:
I. w. Randall & Co., NJ. A. Burbank 81 Co.,
Russell & Co., Dsan 81 Roper, Barnes &
Moies, w. B. Barnard & Co., A. f. Lone &
CO., Allen Morse q Go. Under the title of
the Cooperative Dairy Company, they secured
many victims. In one of their ventures the
name Of g. w. Pond & Co, reputable traders

also operated 10 similar transactions in Chi
cago and Louisville, KY, and so extensive
have been their dealings that ii is confidently
asserted that the loss to consignoro throughout
the country will aggregate at the lowest cal
! culatlon, $l, 100000. Their operations in this
