They tTtilize n Receiving Tomb for Their
Berry Festivities.
PORTSMOUTH, n. H, July 1O.-For some
time past barrels and half barrels of beer
have disappeared from the Boston and
Maine freight cars in a mysterious man
ner, and all traces of the missing goods
have been lost. Monday afternoon a
lad wandering through the North ceme-
terry, which adjoins the Boston and Maine
property, noticed the door of receiving
tomb open, and saw within several men
seated around barrel of beer, from which
they were drinking. Tuesday night lie
told his father what he had seen. The
father reported the matter at the p olice
station, and officers were sent to the place.
When they arrived the men had departed,
but fire was found burning, showing
that the occupants had been gone but a
short time. Near the fire We're two nearly
empty beer barrels. The police believe
that the work is that of a gang of hood
lums and tramps, who have infested this
section for long time.

known as Father Endeavos Clark, then de-
livered his annual address.
Eafs,es. Indeauor Ola 1k,s Address


Father Endeavor Clark's Address.
In the courseof his remarks President
Clark said: ave have come together to-
night for the tenth international and in
ter-denominational gathering of great
and spontaneous movement among the
young Christians of America 1t is fit
ting that we should consider for what in
Gods providence this movement stands
As such a movement develops we can see
many reasons for its existence. The two
principal features in the Christian En-
deavor society are fidelity and fellowship,
fidelity to the local church to which each
society belongs, a fidelity without which a
true Christian Endeavor society cannot
exist; fellowship, fellowship cemented
by common name, common vows. COM
mon methods Of service, a fellowship that
is cxemplified by this magnificent assem-
bly,.
A Broad and Liberal Fellowship.
"Thank God, that without endapgering a
doctrine for which the fathers fought
without imperilling a right or custom that
any sensitive heart holds dear; without
weakening tie that binds any soul to his
ancestral church home, we can come to-
gether in this fellowship that = as broad
and deep and lasting as the love of Christ.
Moreover, l think the time has come fer
US not simply to accept in an easy-going
way this Inheritance, but to stand for it;
yes, to glory il it as we glory in the cross
of Christ around which this fellowship
gathers. Does such fellowship make any
OF you less loyal to your own church? I
leave the answer with you, and l know
what it will be.
The Powers of Darkness a Unit.
There are no divisions among the hosts
darkness. There are no sects in hell. The
evil one marshals all his forces in his as
saults against mans soul. His forces are
not weakened.by factious disputes, etc.
am not rejecting on denominations more
thafff would reflect upon the regiments,
corps, divisions of an army, but | do de-
precate the spirit that is unwilling to al
low any common bond between young
disciples. Let from all us Baptist and
Methodists, Presbytarians> and Congrega-
tionalists, Lutherans and Disciples, Nora
VANS and Mennonites, from east and west
and north and south, come the glad re-
frain "One is our master even Christ; and
all we are brethren"
Bishop Vincent Unable to Preach.
A telegram was read from Bishop J. H
Vincent, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who was to have preached the con-
ventlon sermon, saying that on account of
severe attack of bronchitis, which came
upon him while en- route, he was compelled
to stop at Chicago, and give up his trip to
the convention. DR., Otis Tiffany, of the

The Fair Grounds Hoax,

All of this street talk and reports
about big fair association, with $50,
600 capital to build fair grounds on
Porter's bluff, is mostly wind. AS
far as the LEAF-CHRONICLE can
learn the gentlemen who are devel-
oping Porter's bluff have no such
purpose in view. 1t would take
Capt. Gracey's big ore washing ma
chine twenty-five years to level
down, wash and spread out Porter's
bluff so as to make half-mile track
on it. A number of gentlemen, how
ever, have organized to open the
cave on the bluff and develop the
the springs and make grand park
of the place. They contemplate ex-
tending the street car lines to it, but
have not yet settled on the route for
the road. They expect to establish
flower garden, bathing places, pleas
ure drives and other attractions for
the summer season along the river
and the bluff that is all, though ii
will be a most charming and pic.
turesque park.

Marrying Under Difficulties.

There was a swell colored wedding
at st. Johns Baptist church, on Main
street, last night which came neal
meeting with failure. Sam Clardy
and Minnie Beaumont were the con-
tracing parties. Sam called yes
terday for his LICENSE and was waited
on by Deputy Clerk Ewing, Other
parties were importuning Mr., Ewing
to be waited ON and in the hurry and
confusion he folded the license and
made the proper entries on the back
but left the body of the document
blank. Last evening when Sam and
his bride stepped before the preacher
to be joined for better or for worse,
and the minister opened the license,
he found it blank, and the audience
had to wait until the groom could
find the clerk and have the mistake
rectified.

Lesson of the Eleotion-rammany In ]

Lesson of the Election-Tammany IN 1t.
The result of the late elections has
very much simpliticd the situation,
clearly pointing the way to Demo-
cratic victory in '92. We were hope
full of winning Ohio, but perhaps it
is better that we did not, because in
that event Governor Campbell's
name as a presidential possibility
would have complicated the situa-
ton and caused a division of senti-
ment and contest. The Democrat
ic party must go in to win. 1t can
not afford to bubble about men and
divide on measures. The Republic
can party must be Overthrown before
any purpose can be accomplished. 1t
will not do for the South, the West
or the East to appear in convention
demanding this man or that one for
the nominee, but take the man and
the platform that will win, and New
York still has the say in that. 1t has
heretofore appeared best to leave
New York for the candidate next
time, but the election has changed
that feature of the situation. We
can't elect without New York, and
the election shows that New York is
safely Democratic when the straight
Democrats put their shoulders to the
wheel. More than this, Tammany
is the Democracy of New York. The
issue was Tammany and anti Tam
many. The Mugwumps who have
heretofore supported Mr.. Cleveland,
though that gentleman gave the
ticket "A hearty support, turned
against Flower and joined in the cry
of "down with Tammany.' SO did
many of the county Democrats,
Tammany made the fight on a
tariff reform and bimetal platform,
and won by nearly $4,000 majority in
spite of Mugwumpery and the power
and influence of the Harrison admin
istration. The Democratic party of
the whole country can stand on the
national planks of the New York
platform, and the man whom Tam
many settles on for the first place on
the ticket, pledging united support,
the convention must accept, whoever
he may be, whether Flower, Hill,
Cleveland or German, and it will GER
tainly be one of the four.

Capital is Coming.

We have straight tip that large
amount of New York capital is COM
ing here for Investment very soon,
and moreover that it is but the be-
ginning or foundation for very ex-
tensive enterprises. If certs in
schemes now on foot work out as
calculated and as they are most sure
to do, we shall have no less than ten
millions of foreign capital invested
here within the next twelve months.
Let GAINESVILLE people hold up their
heads and push forward with renew
ed energy. Take no steps backward,
but encourage every enterprise that
presents itself. 1t is live towns
where people are enterprjsing and
real estate is active and advancing
that draw capital and people look
ing for good business locations.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

The little town of Kirkmansville,
KY, from what the New Era says,
has very mad merchant. A tramp
painter struck the town the other
day and wanted something to eat.
The merchant wanted a sign painted
and gave the tramp his dinner to do
the work. The painter asked the
merchant how he should word the
sign. "Oh," replied the merchant,
"just use your own judgment" The
tramp went to work and soon put a
few latin words across the front OF
the little house, just over the door,
and skipped for the next town.
Some one transIat, d the sign as fol-
lows: "Thieving and swindling a
speciality if you don't believe it,
just step inside" The merchant has
offered a reward for the tramp.

The Chattanooga News thinks "the
return of the convicts to Briceville is
the only thing that can be done un-
der the circumstances to maintain
the dignity of the law" No, it's
not. In addition the Governor
should have the culprits who turned
them out, robbed the store and burn
ed stockades, hunted down and put
in the mine also, and make it posi-
bic to maintain the law, and the
prison until the.law is changed.

The Cauae Of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case of full-Aedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. AS
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
