a DISHONEST FOREMAN
Absconds with Three Hundred Dollars
BsIon. ing to the Augusta Heel Co.

Almost everyone in the habit of saikins
an Water street must have noticed durins
the past t. weeks a young man. tall, DARK
and hand, ONE, dressed in the latest style and
usually wearing = natty beaver. He lief,
lss, Sunday night under cloud. and the
reason Of his departure vas made apparent
yesterday morning.
Some two months ago the Augusta Heel
Co., doing business over o. Holxay's store,
engaged as foreman one Arthur n. Andrew.
of Lynn. Mass, who came to them well
recommended and proved to be good work.
man.
After few weeks trial, he was given full
charge over the work. being allowed to draw
the firms funds and to pay weekly to the
other employees some $50 as wages. He has
also been on the road for the company and
succeeded in working up q lucrative trade.
Last Saturday morning he gave his keys to
another workman, saying that he va. going
to Lesiston. About five o'clock that after.
noon he entered the Office Of one of the
managers Of the company partially intori-
Gated and exhibited finger painted with
iodine. lie said that he had been playing
ball at Skov hogan and had received five dol
lars for his services and ten more for his
injured digit. Several Of the employees who
we're present dunned him for their pay, bu,
he refused, alleging lack of funds.
He then went to Gaslin's stable, and in
paying the proprietor a small debt exhibited
a large roll Of bills That evening he spent
money recklessly, tossing down a dollar in
payment for two drinks and refusing to re-
eeive back change, and squandering cash in
absurd wagers. He finally reeled away from
one Of the leading hotels in . state of beastly
intoIicstion.
On Monday he did not appear at the shop,
and bis employers, fearing erookedness,
,elephoned to Sko~hegan, and learned that
Andrews had visited that town Saturday, not
q. a base bali player. but as the proprietor
Heel Co. In thi, capacity he collected a
bill Of $3.50 from Keene Bros shoe manu-
fscturers, which he did not turn into the firms
till. Further investigation showed that he
had collected other bills to the amount of
$50 and counting 500 which had bee adj
vanced to him by the firm. his steslings
amounted to about $500.
Andrews leaves wife and young child in
this city, living in a house on which the un-
paid rent soon falls due. According to his
former employers. he had hitherto been per-
fectly honest. but strong drink the love of
fine clothes and expensive pleasures under
mined his good character. There is as yet
no clue 10 his whereabouts.

Rev. Miss Pratt, the beloved pastor of the
Friends church in this city, preached her
farewell sermon to large aid appreciative
audience Sunday morning. As it was Easter

flowers of many varieties and great fra
GRANGE. She took for her text these words
of scripture, Behold the lilies of the field
how they grow they toll not, neither do they
spin; vet Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these" The preacher
used them as representations of purity aud
the necessity of our hearts being kept
pure before God and as lovely
IS the flowers that He has caused to grow.
She preached her sermon as "a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed" bidding her
dear people farewell till they meet again, if
not here earth. it might be in the heavenly
glory. Easter services were held in the
evening to an Overlooking Audience, anil a
profound impression of the beauty and
worth of living Christ was made upon many
warm hearts. Her prayer was earnest that
the good Lord would prosper HIS cause in all
the churches Ct the city She rejoiced in
