ance, No. l,O76, has never been in
troduced in the columns of your valu-
able paper, l take this method of so
dong and hope you will publish. We
organized July 18th, 1888, with 80
charter members. We grew rapidly
and steadily until we numbered 1873.
Sixteen withdrew to organize Central
Alliance. We have had two deaths.
Bro. J. S. Riggs wa an old man but
faithful to the trust conided in him
and was highly esteemed by all the
brethren. Bro. Riggs died in Febru,
airy, 1889, of paralysis. Bro. T. F.
Miller died in February, 1890, of
dropsy. He vas a young and very
quiet IAN and stood high in the com
munity, and with his brethren. We
now number II males and 81 females.
We meet every Saturday night at s
o'clock. Our meetings are harmoni-
Gus with an average attendance of
about seventy-five. We have a hall
of u own 2Ox36, purchased and
paid for. Now when we meet we
feel at home. We are behind in the
State bushes agency fund. We have
paid in $3.50 and have more to for
ward in a few days. We are order
ing most of our supplies through our
business agent and we find that it
pays a good per cent.
Mr.. Editor, in the perusal of your
paper | see several names mentioned
from the seve al districts and none
from the first, and as there is always
a starting point, why not send W.
A. B, Branch, Esq, to Congress
from the first district ? Mr.. Branch
is one among the first farmers in
Beaufort county and is no stranger in
North Carolina and is we'll equipped
for an important Office like this.
Triumph Alliance says Branch for
Congress and James F. Brinson, ESQ,
to represent Pamlico county in the
next General Assembly, as he is one
| of the sufferers of the long needed leg,
i"slation for which the poor, down,
trotden farmers and laborers of our
State and country are sufferers, and
the only way to remedy that is to
elect good, honest and true men who
have got backbone enough to stand up
for the poor mans interest, which is
largely in the majority, and not for
the few whose disposition is to grind
down and ~pauperize because they are
the monied monarchs of the country.
As it is time to elect a Solicitor for
this judicial district and no one can
fill that position except he be a law
yer, | take great pleasure in placing
the name of Hon. W. T. Caho before
the voters of this district for their
consideration, Mr.. Caho is a man oil
high standing and well kown in hi;
district and throughout the State and
he is undoubtedly the strongest man
in this district and needs no further
eulogy. SHORT.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

MIschievous Boys Almost Cause a
 Wreck on the Merlden Road.
 What might have been a serious ac- cident on the Meriden & Waterbury road was barely averted yesterday after. noon. Near the Liberty street crossing several cars were standing on side track. A railroad tie fastened to the track serves to block the cars and pre- vent their return to the main line. The cars, which were loaded with lumber, were short distance up the track, the brakes Icing set. About o'clock some mischievous boys "kicked" the brakes and the cars rapidly moved down the incline, jumped the obstruction and stopped directly across the main line. Some men working near by notified Station Agent Culver just before the 4:30 train out of the New England station was due. Without a moments delay he telegraphed to the junction in South Brooklyn, where an operator is located, and was just in time to stop the train and prevent serious accident.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
4 Rumored Purchase by the New

A Rumored Purchase by the New
 York and New England.
 A Providence dispatch last night says: |: It has just come to light that during the past week a syndicate of four gentlemen has succeeded in obtaining a controlling share in the stock of the Providence x Springfield railroad company. It is the intention of the syndicate to turn this control over to the New York X New England. The New York & New Eng land railroad has already under con struction a branch from Woonsocket to the tracks of the Providence & Spring field railroad. The tracks of the Provi- dence & Springfield railroad run at present from this city to Pascoag. Should the intentions of the syndicate be carried out, the New York x New England railroad company will build a line uniting Pascoag with its tracks at East Thompson, which go as far as Southbridge, and from the latter place it will build direct to Springfield To morrow the town council of Burrillville will meet to consider an offer that has been made them for $50, ,000 worth of Providence & Springfield stock at 70.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Billy Campion is playing great ball again for Worcester. Yesterday although out-batted most 8 to 1 the Worcesters won a close and exciting game from Jersey City by Campion's daring and successful base running, he making two and stole three bases.
 In the sixth inning yesterday at Brotherhood park, ConnOr drove a ter rife hit ball into the right field bleachers which caught a man squarely on his nose. The man reeled in his seat and then toppled over. He was finally es- corted to the club house, and then it was discovered that his nose was split its entire length.
 Pitcher Mickey Hughes has been re- leased by the Brooklyn National league club.
 Slowly but surely managers are learn ing the folly of placing $1,OOO ball teams in $500 towns.
 In ten of the last eleven games pitched by Rusie, his club has been defeated. It looks as though the young man had been overworked early in the season.
 Hamilton's base running is one of the features of every game participated in by Harry Wright's team. Eddie Burke is very close behind him.
 Stovey leads the Bostons and the country in stolen bases. Ward, Brook lyn; Duffy, Chicago; Hanlon, Pitts burg Hoy, Buffalo; Richardson, New York Shindle, Philadelphia, also have good records.
 New York has no less than five of the first ten hitters in the league,
 Five of the Players league cities have averaged over 5000 people per game.
 The casino will be opened this even- ing with an almost entire change of pro- gramme. The attractions are good ones and will make a most interesting and pleasing entertainment. The Elm city quartette, the Shelby brothers and by special request the repetition of ''The Arrival of Sullivan" will be few of the new numbers. At the almost universal demand of the public Manager Pincus has reduced the price of admission to l5 cents lady and gentleman 25 cents.

POLICE COURT.
A Number of Peculiar Cases Before
 Judge Bradstreet To-Day.

A Number or PecuIlar SaSeS DSloTe
 Judge Bradstreet To-Day.
 Michael Lyons, aged 23, was charged in the police court to day, with drunken ness and vagrancy. He was brought in yesterday by Officer Byrnes after the latter had observed his antics for some time. Lyons had jag on and was beg ging pedestrians to advance enough money to pay his fare to Danbury. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail on each complaint.
 John Garvey, accused of stealing S70 overcoat belonging to Chauncey White, from the livery stable of Edward Gagain, acknowledged taking the garment, but explained that he took 1t by mistake for his own. Judge Bradstreet regarded this story as a trifle too transparent and imposed sentence of $5 and costs and thirty days in jail.
 John Kelly appeared in court with a bandage around his head. He declared that Charles Marsella knocked him down on Scovill street the other night, causing his injuries. Marsella declared that he never saw Kelly before he ap- peared in court this morning. He knew absolutely nothing about the alleged assault. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed. Marsella paid up but de- clared that the action of the court was an outrage.
 Charles Lynch, II, one of the gang of boys whose cases were continued from last week, confessed to having ''swiped' shoes from Finn's and Dodge's stores. He was sentenced to the reform school.

sr ATE PRISON MATTERS.

Conyicts Whose Reason Has Return
 ed Take u Back From MiddleUown.
 Drs F. D.. Edgerton of Middletown, and R. M. I3riSwold of Portland, who were appointed Dy Governor Bulkeley to examine two state prisoners, removed from Wethersfield to the insane asylum at Middletown, as to their recovery, have completed their work. The prisoners in question were Philip Favetti and Henry Johnson. Both are found to be sane again and have been returned to the prison. Johnson had been m the asylum about two years and Favetti since last February.
 Twenty-four inmates of the prison, whose terms expire next month appear ed before the visiting committee of the Connecticut Prison association at their meeting in the prison yesterday morn- ing. Among the applicants were some whose cases were pitiful and interesting, while there were others which were very amusing yet serious.
 | Among the former was a man as to whom it is believed that practically, he was removed from a position of trust to cell in Wethersfield, because in defend ing himself he wounded one of gang of roughs who afterwards with his icon federates swore him into prison. Although the man had always borne good reputa- tion and had for some time held posi- tion of honor and trust, the evidence of these fellows was sufficient to cast him into prison.
 Another case which excited no little wonderment among the committee was that of a man who refused to accept any aid whatever from the association. He thanked the members of the committee for their interest in his future life and welfare, but he refused all help, saying that he was able to take care of himself.
 Among the rest who were examined was one who had served time in many of the principal prisons in the country. When the question was asked by the chairman as to what he in tended to do he rather evaded answering t,but finally being urged to his prospects he said that he had always been a pickpocket and a thief and would follow that line in the future.

COUNTRY SCHOOL HOUSES.
The Wonder is That More Crimes
 Arc Not Committed.

Are Not Comm1tCed.
 In view of recent events a Connecticut Associated Press reporter has made an examination of the location and condi- ton of country school houses in western Connecticut, and particularly in Litch- field county. It is in this county that several crimes have been committed in which the school house has played an important part. Within a few months two school teachers have been fearfully assaulted on their way to or from school. In other localities tramps have broken into the buildings, destroyed the school furniture and peacefully slept off their dissipation.
 In Litchfield county alone 10 school houses were found located in the woods on some remote country road, some of them with not more than two or three houses in sight, and all of them con siderably removed from any definite center of civilization. The roads ap- preaching them in many cases were through thick woods or lonesome fields. When it is considered that none but women are induced by the meagre salary offered to teach in these schools and that.during the farmers busy sea- son, the country is filled with irrespon- sible help, the wonder is that more crimes are not reported.
 In most of the towns the stringent laws against tramps are enforced, but the danger comes from the rough ele- ment which the farmers employ to do their farm work. The element in ques- tion is, not like the tramps the scum of society, but an even lower class of men who come from the small manufactu- ring villages or from the Housatonic i Valley mining districts.
 Despite the startling warning in the murder of Mattie E. Randall in Morris, the outrage of Campville school teacher, and the assault on Middlebury school teacher, all by men of this de scription, this class of help still finds ready employment. When a crime is committed as has been shown, the densely wooded hills, the swamps and ravines furnish abundant hiding places. Not long since it was found that one school house, closed for the summer, had been made the rendezvous of petty burglars and they had lived there in fine style. Another school house not far from Waterbury, in the Bunker Hill district, had also been utilized by the tranps as a camping place. The tramps were afterwards identified as a gang oi local toughs and they escaped with light punishment.

Suffering From LockIaw.

Ernest c. Walter of New Haven, who is laying at deaths door with lock jaw, was no better yesterday. Yesterday Dr Skiff performed an operation and re- moved a big bunch of wadding which had been driven into the boys foot by the discharge of a cannon. This wad- ding had been a constant source of irri- tation ever since July when the wound was received. A discharge of pus fol- lowed the removal of the foreign sub stance, and the wound itself is not dan gerous if blood poisoning does not set in. Whether the symptoms Of lockjaw will continue is question. Yesterday the boy had spasms at intervals of twenty minutes, and suffered intense agony. He has only a ghost of chance of recovery.
