WHOLESALE SCANDAL AHEAD.

AT a recent social session of Fisk Sec
ton No. 2. Cadets of Temperance, held in
Armory Hall. near the junction of Grand
street and Communipaw avenue. Mr..
John Dingwall in the course of an adj
dress, said:-"R young man wants
wife he joins the Cadets of Temperance,
and it is safe to say that in less than six
months he will have found a companion
and be married"
AT that time the greatest harmony pre-
vailed in the organization and very few,
If any, knew that sensational scandal
was developing in their midst, which
now threatens to blast the regulations of
several of the temperance men and draw
into considerable notoriety not only MEM
bers of the section. but members of the
Fisk Dramatic Club and many well
known society gentlemen of the Heights.
For weeks past the Hill section of the
city has not furnished a sensation. and
many believed that the residents had
grown regenerate. However, in the nick
OF time the Fisks come to the fro Mt with q
story story which will set the entire Hill
section gossiDing.
