I Quite sensation occurred at the meet ing of the Sons of Temperance on Monday evening. During the session some of the ladies thought they saw the door move at the entrance to the loft. At the intermis- sion it was deemed advisable to make an investigation, when two or three of the male members ascended ladder for the purpose, and in attempting to open the door found it held by occupants within, trance and with light proceeded to make 8 search, and found two boys hid away in the recesses of the apartment, who proved to be the sixteen year-old sons of promi- inent men in this place. One of them be- ing member of the organiz stion, but rather of delinquent of late, probably thought to initiate his "chum" into the se- crets of the order without 8 formal cere- mony. They were of course brought down before the members and severely repri- manded, as they deserved. The one that is member will probably be expelle d from | the organization.
