A BIG ROW.
The Telephone Service Poor at Gorham's
Corner.

l.
An affair occurred early Sunday morn
ing that recalls in great measure the old
days when rows at Gorham's Corner,
were of frequent occurrence. By the new
rules only one officer is on duty from
midnight till nearly daylight Saturday
night Officer Mccormack tried to induce
drunken man named ''Bunge" Nc
Donough to go home to avoid arrest and
McDonough's friends were assisting the
officer, when set of young toughs
known as the "Cross street gang" as
saulted the party, throwing bricks. 1t
is reported that regular knock down
and drag out fight resulted, and that one
man had his face badly cut with knife.
Another man was knocked insensible
by the blow from a brick. Officer Nc
Cormack fired his revolver twice in the
air which had the effect of dispensing
the crowd. The men injured were taken
home by their friends and their wounds
dressed. During the row the officer
tried to call up the station for the patrol
wagon and help but SO much time was
occupied that when the call was re-
ceived and the patrol wagon and six Off
GERS sent the crowd had gone.

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE MISSION.
A Challenge Issued by John NJ. Todd to
ANY Lawyer, Minister or Politician"

Last evening at Gospel Mission hail.
after the half hour praise service, Rev.
Mr. Pearson opened the temperance
meeting by the statement that he was in
the temperance movement to stay and if
it became a question as to whether he
should cease to advocate temperance, or
cease to be minister of thessgoSpel, he
would give up the latter.
Mr.. John NJ. Todd then said that he
was in favor of the reelection of Mr..
Cram, because he had been faithful to
his oath Of Office and had done thorough
work. He had nothing, personally, to
say against his antagonist, MI. SWEET.
Mr.. SWEET was good fellow. But Mr..
SWEET is to be voted for by the men who
believe in what will virtually be free rum,
and if he acts, if elected, in accordance
with their views, then he must be false
to his oath of office. If he doesn't do it
then how much better an officer will he
be than Mr.. Cram, who has been thor
oughly tried. Mr.. Todd challenged any
lawyer, minister or politician in the
county to meet him Friday night in dis
cussion of this question at Gospel Mission
hall.
There were two gentlemen who spoke
from the audience, one from Cincinnati
and one from New Jersey. The first one
said he was glad to be in a city where the
Sabbath was not desecrated by beer gar
dens where families got drunk on Sum
days, and the other that he could walk
street and not see almost every other door
a liquor saloon.

TIE different feelings which actuated the
South and North in selecting day each year
for placing flowers on the graves OF their dead
were clearly shown by the original names by
which these days were distinguished. the
one in the South being called Memorial
Day and that in the North Decoration
Day" The idea of thus honorng the dead
of the war originated with the Southern Ia
dies, and 1t was TO them Il sad tribute TO
the memories OF their loved slain. SO
il was natural for them to regard
it as a memorial. The North. seeing it
so generally observed in the South. thought
1t would be popular thing for them TO DO
likewise, so they inaugurated the practice;
but as they were placing flowers. for the most
part. ON the graves Of hirelings and substi-
tutes. 1t was natural for them to look upon it
as merely a season for holiday decorations.
Now. however. the North. having first taken
the idea from w. have also taken our name,
and they too cali it, by law. Memorial Day.
