Former Pawtucket Pastors Work.
The Lowell Morning Mail contains an
interesting account of the burning" of
the mortgage on the Mt. Vernon Street
Free Baptist church, the pastor of which
is the Rev. Mr. Frost formerly pastor of
the First Free Baptist church of this city.
The raising of the mortgage of 5000 was
almost wholly due to the efforts of Mr..
Frost, who was well-known here as man
of determination and untiring energy.
OF the whole amount contributed, $233
was raised i'm Providence and Pawtucket,
Si34 of this amount being contributed by
members of the Free Baptist church of
this city. Not only has the whole amount
of the mortgage been raised, but the
floating debt of the church of about $4,000,
has been Cancelled, so that to-day IT stands
absolutely unencumbered.
Raid by the Police.
For some time past there has been a
suspicion that Frank II. SullowaY, the
proprietor of the club-room at room 3,
Beswick Block, was not conducting the
business of his place strictly in accordance
with the law. Saturday evening Sergt.
Nickerson, with posse of officers paid "a
visit TO the place, and captured "a quantity
of whisky, forty-three bottles of larger,
thirty packs of playing cards, about 900
gambling chips, card tables and other
paraphanalia. Three men were In the
place, who were told to get out, and they
got. All the stock with the exception of
the tables were taken with Sulloway To
the station. Sulloway has been in the
custody of the police before, one time be-
ing the occasion of Il liquor seizure at his
place, and the other being Feb. s, 1887,
when he was arrested and bound over on
the charge of keeping gambling house.
The Free Wanderers Beaten mt Football.
The East Ends of Fall River met tie
Free Wanderers in an exhibition game OF
football yesterday on the Dexter street
grounds, and defeated them one goal TO
nothing. The thin coating of ice which
covered the ground made anything like
scientific playing out of the question. The
game was devoid of much interest for the
spectators, about all the fun it contained
for them being in watching the men slip
down one after another The result of the
game will not be considered of much
value owing TO the condition of the
grounds and the fact that neither club had
its strongest team in the field. Cornell
was umpire for the East Ends and Booth
for the Free Wanderers. Alex Love acted
as referee.
