One ef tho BE st April Fool Jokes Yet Heard
Of Perpetrsted in This city.
One of the best April Fool jokes yet
heard of was concocted and successfully
carried out by Pleasant street liquor
ers, two Of whom are considered fly"
and always "up 10 the times" In con-
nection with the joker's store is barn
and plenty Of room for the care OF COWS
and horses. He ordered his attendants to
90 to the freight depot Mt IL O'Clock
Thursday night an await the arrival of
four cows which he had purchased in
Concord, N. H., and which would arrive
on q Worcester freight some tine during
the night or early the next morning.
The Boys we're ready in u second, and
with pint OF "inspiration" started out
and remained at the d pot, where they
looked over every freight car that arrived
until o'clock yesterday morning. Becom-
ing hungry and tired they left their as
signment in disgust, and Immediately
went to Pleasant street to report. When
they entered the saloon the proprietor met
them with q pleasant "good morning."
and asked them to have a drink.
"Your cows didn't come, SIR" said one
Of the party.
al didn't order or purchase any cows,
boys" said the proprietor, smiling la
con.cally.
"You must remember this Is the 1st of
April, and you are the victims OF an All
Fools day joke"
They left the store In disgust, and will
probably look for new job today.
The story went the rounds Of the city
quicker than messenger boy would de-
liver a message, and when a milkman
called at saloon down street at o o'clock
he was informed that one of his Pleasant
street customers had just purchased four
COWS and desired an experienced person
to milk them. an do II for him, by

When ~ proprietor left the place the

CHEERS FOR GROVER
Given atthe Republican
Rally.
MCKINLEY SPEAKS HERE.
He Tells About Free Sugar and Praises
Senator Aldrich.

The first real rally Of the Republicans OF
this city in the present campaign occurred
last evening. The audience was not COM
posed entirely of Republicans, as a large
number OF Democrats were present. On
the stage wero representative Repu ublicans
from all over the State. President Tiepke
presided and introduced Senator Aldrich,
who made few remarks and was rccci, ed
with applause. When Governor 'Mckin
ley was introduced the applause was loud
and long Ex-Mayor Saylcs shouted out.
Three cheers for the man who gave free
sugar 10 the laboring man" And the
cheers were given with will.
Mr. MeKinley said II am here 10 speak
upon the din rrences betweens the Demo
cratic and Republican parties on national
issues. There are two Of them--one Of
them is money, and the other relates to
met hods of taxation. Upon both these
questions the two parties are at Issue. II
is true that in New Englond the Demo
Gratis are in favor Of sound money; but
the great majority Of the Democratic
party are in favor of the free and urlim
tied coinage OF the silver dollar"
Gov. Mckinley then turned TO the tarifl
question. "The Democrats want q tariff
for revenue only; If the tariff on any artf
Gle should become a protection thon II
must come down. They want "A tariff on
articles of foreign production which we
cannot produce here. This will give O
greater revenue, because there IL no com
petition, and thus large revenues will be
prodncei. On the other hand tho doctrine
OF the protectioulsts Is that the articles
upon which there is no competition shall
come in free. There is a difference between
tariff bill four weeks old and tariff bill
eighteen months old They said the prices
of everything were going up under this bill
a good many people were fooledby that
"The Democrats say they were always In
favor Of free sugar When l introduced
this bill making sugar free, every Demo
crat in the house voted against IL. They
voted To tax sugar and for free wool.
Sugar votes the Democratic ticket In
Louisiana, and wool votes the Republican
ticket In Ohio. We could not produce
sugar enough. and 80 we took of the tariff
and left the $50, 900. 600 ia the pockets oi
the American people, and Senator Aldrieh
helped that as he helped every line Of
the bill an here tonight TO bear testi
mopy to him as the best senator In thu
United States, and would no. be here did
not believe that q Democratic victory al
this time would lie national misfortune. '
At tho conclusion of his address, he wa,
cheered to the echo. and then. when 10 had
subsided. number of Demo srHts In the
gallery shouted: Three cheers for Cleve
land" and they wcre given.

Some More Ret.
Tho discredited orgnnette, In the
column of "stuff" from this village last
evening, had an article In regard to the
effect the recent Republican rallies have
had on the voters in general. An extract
Is ns follows:
MANY workingmen who have hereto
fore cast their ballots for the Democ-
racy will vote the Republican ticket, and
this Is not 10 be wondered at when 1t is
taken into consideration that the honest
and hard working men of this village are
in no way desirous Of helping to reduce
their own wages by voting for ticket the
success OF which means a step in this di-
rsction."
Men who read this and understand the
situation must quickly SEQ the absurd
ity, and successful attempt at pro-
vsrication, In any such statement
and again be given an opportunity
to wonder why the man who wrote 1t has
been q member OF the Democratic party
all his life and, according to his own state
ment, "has been fighting the party's bat
ties for years." and is willing to sacrifice
anything that the party may be successful.
He certainly does not believe what he
writes any more than those who read his
illusions. The Republican party should
feel proud Of its cable" voluntary sheet
and place implicit confidence in one and
ell Of It's bucolic uttcrances.
The voters, no matter Of what party, want
q fair, plain statement of facts, and to be
allowed to draw their own conclusions.
They have no use for colored statements
although II may tickle their fancy for the
time being, but may lead them TO be
beautifully left.
Interesting Items.
New postal cards have been received at
the Postofiice.
Sample ballots have been posted in the

A BOSTON FAILURE.
Merry" Evans House
to Go Into Insolvency
THE MAVERICK BANK SUITS
Will Cause Creditors To Realize but a
Small Amount from the Wreck.

Rosr0N, April 2.--The affairs of the firm
Of Irving A. Evans g. Co, which have been
the subject OF considerable litigation and
good deal uf notoriety since the young
heal OF the establishment sent a bullet
through his troubled brain, arc once more
brought TO the attention of the public by
the declared intention OF the firms sur
viving members TO 20 into Insolvency.
This intention matcrialized late yester-
day afternoon in a petition for insolvency
proceedings, which was filed in the in
solvency court of Middlesex county by
James 4. Cummings Of the firm Of Cum.
mings, IligRinson e. McLau ,hlin, tho
legal representatives OF William s. Bliss,
who Is one OF the surviving partners Of
Irving A. Evans. The other partner,
Austin b. Tobcy, Is represented by Lawyer
Leonard.
IL ~ now understood that the determin-
alton To 90 Into insolvency has been pre-.
cipitated by the bill of equity recently
filed in the United States circuit court by
Receiver Beal of the Maverick bank. The
resp ndents mentioned In this bill are the
assignee and surviving partners above
N 'ntioned, and Wilmot L. Evans The
bill was an outgrowth OF one of the indict-
ments found
Against Asa 4. Potter,
wherein he was charged with misapplying
and appropriating for his own use many
notes. checks and guarantees bearing the
name OF Irving ~ Evans & Co, and
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars.
IL was asserted in the bill that the total
liabilities of the firm OF Irving A. Evans a.
Coz TO the Maverick bank by reason of an
overdraft, dishonored checks and notes,
guaranteed aud Endorsed by the firm,
amounted TO S6ii 1862. As collateral
security the bank held notes, bonds and
securities the otal market value of which
was only $4,000.
The surprising financial condition, it is
claimed, resulted from an agreement
that was entered into in May, 1883, by
Messrs. Potter and Evans, to speculate on
equal shares, the purchase and sales to be
made by Evans * Co., in
Behalf OF Potter aud Evans
Potter's name was not TO appear In any of
the transactions.
Tie speculations resulted in Joint loss
of thousands upon thousands Of dollars,
and when the returns were counted it was
found that Potter was indebted to the
Evans firm 20: "A large amount.
To square himself with the firm, It is as
serted Potter agreed with Evans TO sur
render all OF the paper which the bank
held against Irving A. Evans S Go. This
surrender, Receiver Beal claimed in his
bill in equity. was fraud upon the bank,
its sto kholdcrs and creditors.
The assignces were prepared to pay 70
per cent. on the Indebtedness of tho Evans
firm before the Maverick case was started,
aud much smaller amount--not higher
, than 30 per cent.-can go to the creditors
II the firm goes into insolvency. II the
Maverick receiver had not brought suit in
the United States court, il is said, the
creditors would have Jared much better
than under the present condition Of things.
