"AIike'' O'Mara III the Worst Kind of
Fix in Staten Island.


Fix in Staten Island.
Mike O'Mara 'de man wot turns de
Wheel and Jersey City's most accom-
pl;shed election expert IS in trouble IN
Staten Island for an undue interest in the
Stapleton election. There are sew
eraf stories of the occurrence but
the fact remains that Mike was arrested
for voting illegally, locked up over night
and released yesterday morning unuer
$4,000 bail. Mike himself denies all knowl-
edge of the occurrence, and says if he did
vote he did not know what he was doing,
as he was at Stapleton full of joy and
spirits.
One story is that O'Mara made the ac-
quaintance of some Stapleton politicians
on Sunday, and learning that they were
to have an election on Tuesday thought
he would extend his sphere of political
usefulness to that place.
Another story is that he was driving
with friend through Stapleton when
coming suddenly upon an election in full
blast he could not resist the temptation
to vote. 1t is said that he was challenged
and swore his vote in.

The story of a plucky 4-year>old
baby comes from OSkalOosa, 10. 1t
is the child of Mrs. Wilson, and
while playing about a deep well
covered by loose boards fell in. The
well is 80 feet deep and contained 10
feet of water. The mother saw the
child fall and frantically grabbing a
clothes line lowered it into the well.
The child grasped the line, but of
course could not Lold on tight
enough to be drawn out, so the
mother tied her end above. "Will,
pet, hold tight till mama runs for
papa" tremblingly cried the mother
to her little one, "E'ss," come a
brave little sob from below. The
mother hurried away and soon res
turned with the farther and several
other men, who, after much dlfllcul>
ty rescued the child. He was almost
unconscious from cold when taken,
out, but had bravely cling to the
clothes line all the time, holding its
head above water. The happy
mother hugged her rescued one and
weeped for joy, whine the assem-
bled crowd threw up there hats and
cheered in acknowledgment of the
baby's grit.

Firm. America Is With You."

LONDON, December 5.-Mr. Gladstone yava
the Irish delegates a cordial reception todav
He acted throughout with the full approval
OF mis- colleagues. They discussed the whole
position of the Liberals and the present DO
litieal situation and the probable effect Of
Mr.. ParnelPs retention. The reporters were
told that Mr.. Gladstone did not intend to
publish anything regarding the meeting.
The delegates are reluctant TO give the par
tleulars of the interview, which they regard
ed strictly confidential. 1t Is doubtful
whether Mr.. Parnell will consider that Mr..
GladstOne's reception Of the delegates with
out the presence Of Morley and Harcourt full
filed the conditions Of the arrangements for
the meeting.
1t is learned that Mr.. Gladstone suggested
a modification Of the Clancy resolution. The
delegates explained Mr.. Gladstone's propo-
sails TO the meeting on their return and an
amicable di cussfOn followed The Clancy
resolution was resclnded. A resolution was
adopted authorizing Messrs. Leahy. Red
mOnd, Healy and Sexton TO request confer
encs with Mr.. Gladstone for the purpose Of
representing the views OF the Irish party,
and requesting that an intimatiOn be given
them regarding the Intentions OF Mr.. Glad
stone aud his colleagues with respect TO cer-
tain details connected with the land question
and Irish eonstabuiary In the event Of home
rule being granted.
The meeting adjourned and the deputatOn
impaired to Mr. Gladstone the new res0lu-
tion. Mr.. Gladstone thereupOn conyoked an
informal meeting Of all his colleagues with
whom ne could communicate. Sir William
Vernon Hare. uTt, Mr.. Morley, Earl Gran
Vile, Lord Hri senell, Arnold Morley and
others responded. Soon after this confer
ence met, Mr.. Gladstone intimated through
the party whiI that second interview with
the Irish deputatiOn was unnecessary. Their
resolution aud the written gtatement OF the
committee put him In full possession Of the
facts. ParDelllte members have decided to
postpone another meeting until tomorrow.

night to Parnell: stand firm. America Is

wArEevILLE WATER.
Its Remarkable Effects as Seen by
the Women's League.

WATERVILLE, December 5.-The W0m-
ems Christian Temperance League have
been trying to reduce the sales Of liquor in
Waterville by personal work. OF course
they have met with many discouragements,
but that they have cut their eye teeth ona
can have no doubt after reading the witty
bulletin which they publish in todaY's issue
of the Sentinel;
Within the past few weeks committees Of
women have visited the most of the hotels OF
Waterville to confer with the pr0prieto1s in
regard to the sale of liquors, and the infor-
nation obtained at these interviews has
been at the same time surprising and graft
flying.
We are informed that no hotel in Water
vile is at present selling one drop OF liquor,
even under pressure OF the most agonlzlDg
emergencies; and, more, we learn that no
hotel in Waterville ever did sell liquor, ex-
cept in very occasional cases, and with the
utmost discretion. No young man has ever
been able to obtain liquors at any OF our he
tells. The small and iDfrequent sales made
have been wholly to accommodate our
"prOminent citizens" and the travelling pub
lie; and perhaps the most solemn and awe
inspiring fact impaired to us is that not
even the travelling public can at present oo-
tain anything to drink in Waterville.
We learned this startling piece Of informa-
tion with joy, and yet with trembling, LOT
the necessities of the travelling public have
been so explained to us In the past that we
supposed that mysterious order OF beings
could be kept from spelling only by being
thoroughly preserved in alcohol IL is gen
era:ly well that misapprehensions should pc
removed and justice done, therefore it gives
us great pleasure to state that when In the
past whole 'blocks" of men have been OBJ
served to cease from their work and disap-
pear into one Of our hotels, it was merely De-
cause they were weary and wished to rest IN
the cool Of the day; and if they staggered a
little on coming out it only indicated that ice
water had just been partaken OF, ana they
had not yet recovered from the chilling ef-
fects of that healthful but unwonted Dever.
age. And further, if, on passing by some OIL
our bostellies, potent and suspicious ODER
seems to issue from thence, do not hastily
misjudge the situation, it simply means that
the travelling public, having been taken out
of pickle, is beginning to exude alcCnoi
from the pores.
There is only one melancholy phase In this
millennial state of things. We are told that,
driven by the prevailing drouth "our best
citizens" have been seen on the Plains al
most begging for liquor from door to door,
This seems at once sad and unnecessary,
since the doors of our city agency are still
Hospitality open, and that fashionable place
