The regular annual session of the l..

here April 1t aud Is, promises to be largely
ate nded. and the usual amount of routine
business peculiar to the order will be trans
acted, including election of officers for the

children to the Lodge room, etc. etc. and
much legislation pertaining to the stability of
the Order and the forwarding of the interest
of Good Templsry and the cause of temper
ance in Maine. The l.. year just ending
has not been so favorable as some that have
preceded it. and the Sec = report viii probs-

This has been due to several causes In
some cases she skating mania tended to
draw away our younger members; in other
sections the existing labor troubles and sgita-
ton proves injurious. aud all over the State it
has been a reactionary year after the year of

amount of temperance work put into the
State. The financial condition of the order
was never better notwithstanding extra ex-

FEARS OF FOUL PLAY.
Strange Disappearance of Young Woman
from Her Home in Carroll County.

The marshal of Frankfort was in the city last
night seeking trace of young lady who disap-
peared from her home in Carroll county on last
Friday night under rather strange circumstances.
Lon MabLi st is the name of the young woman,
and she is the daug.@r OF weli-to-do
farmer living short distance from Wheeling.
Carroll county. She has recently been receiving
the attentions of Amer G. Greene a young
man living ia Cass county, but her parents pro-
tested against her associating with him, and,
~nen he asked her to accompany him to q
picnic at Wheeling, on last Friday she
Greene, in company with friend named
Walker, who was well acquainted with Miss
Mabbitt's sister, called at her home She was IN
bed at the time, but he was persistent in his
requests to see her, and she finally arose and
went down to learn what he wanted. Her sister
went out with Walker for stroll and when
they found Greene and the young woman gone.
AS she wore only a common work dress at the
time, it is not believed that she eloped.
and the members of her family fear that
she has been foully dealt with Greene
has been seen twice since the young
woman's disappearance, once near Kokomo,
where he is reported to have tried to sell horse
and buggy. He Is brother of a man who com:
mitted murder in Carroll county, about five
years ago, and has since eluded arrest. Nothing
could be learned in this city giving any clew to
the whereabouts Of the young woman or of
Greene.

Interest in the meeting is increasing daily; and
the attendance is swelling in proportion. Rev.

erful one, portraying the wonderful mission of
Christ and the wonderful modes for its accom-
plishment The evening sermon was delivered
by DR.. Gssel, from the text, Beloved, now are
we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear
what shall be: but we know that when He shall
appear we shall be like Him, for wes shall see Him
as He is" John ill., 2 The sermon dwelt upon
the impossibiiity Of the human mind compre
hending the future life showed how impossible
it is to comprehend even the commopplaces Of
thislife and how fruitless therefore, would be an
attempt to comprehend the coming world, and
its mysteries
The evening meeting was especially largely at
tended and the sermon was most eloquent one.
