number of tickets sold. While the tick

after that time. Lunch will be served at

Office, the Man.

Braxton M. PARIS, the colored porter
at the post office, had not been seen for
four days at the Office up to yesterday,
and notice was sent to the police station.
Marshal Trickey despatched Officer
Bracket to the house, No. 16 Federal
street, where PARIS lived alone. The Of
ficer had to break in window to enter
the house. PARIS was found on the
floor, near the bed, moaning. The police
office was telephoned at once, and DIR.
Sullivan went to the house, but PARIS
had deceased from hemorrhage of the
bowels. Mr.. PARIS had been out of
health since Christmas, and done but lit
tie work. Coroner McDonough heard
all the circumstances and considered an
inquest unnecessary.
Mr.. PARIS was 48 years old and married
but his wife had not lived with him for
three years. She was notified of the
death, and came in from Old Orchard.
He was educated at Master Taylor's
school, and was a bright, intelligent
man. He was appointed porter in the

The Christian Endeavor Excursion,

AS will be seen in another column the
Maine Central Railroad are to carry the
Maine Christian Endeavor delegates to
Montreal in a specially chartered and
specially conducted train. This train
will stop only at stations in Maine and
will arrive in Montreal early in the even
ing, two or three hours ahead of the reg
uiar trains, so that the delegates will
have the privilege of attending the pre-
paratory services to be held on Wednes-
doy evening inthe various churches.
These meetings will be of great inter
est, being addressed by DIR. Cuyier and
other distinguished leaders of the evan
gelical denominations. AS the time of
the convention approaches the enthus-
iasm deepens. Mr.. Foss, the manager of
the Maine delegation. has received the
past two or three days good many APP
plications for accommodations at Mon
treal and the Maine delegation will far
out-number the first anticipations. It
having been rumored that the section of
the city assigned for the entertainment
of the Maine delegates is poor, the com
mittee desire to state that this report is
entirely erroneous. As the committee
have personally inspected the quarters,
which are in the new part of thes city,
close by Mount Royal. They can recon-
mend the section as first-class, while the
rates are at least ST. per day cheaper than
was at first expected. Fifty more rooms
reserved for the Maine delegation can be
assigned if applied for before Saturday.
The whole expense of the six days trip
will not be over SIT.

the case of Richard Casey, the keeper of
an insane Swede at the aims house, who
was charged with i'll treatment of his pa

evidence at the hearing, the committee
will report that the charges of cruelty
were not sustained.

SILVER sECEssIONIsrs.

Though Blood to the Brides Waite has
said that he didn't really want blood as
deep as he said he did, 1t is evident that
he and some like him are still very wild.
One of the indications of their state of
mind Is to be found in circular which
has beer cent from Kansas to the governor
of Missouri. It asks that convention bs
called Of all the govern ors of all the States
west of the Mississippi and south of the
Ohio river, aud on q parallel line there
with, and also that such governors appoint
in addition number of delegates equal to
the representation of their States in Con-
gress, with the design of finding out what
shall be done for mutual relief Of the
people, for the cultivation of commercial
relations between them, and such other
action es may oonduce to the material well
fare and prosperity of the communities in
volved, looking especially to arranging for
such trade relations as may render this
section free of dependence upon the east
ern section of the United States In business
affairs.
Slavery caused secession, and such talk
as this indicates that there are people fool
ish enough to think, or, at least, to say,
that silver may lesd to secession. But
such fools are not very numerous and they
will rapidly diminish in number and i'm
portance as soon as 1t is found that the
silver conspiracy isn't going to be as prof
liable as it has been. People in the East
will not be alarmed by the silver secession
talk, but there are many in this region who
feel that they might have saved money If
Colorado and some other western States
had seceded some years ago.

beset me on every side. notice that the
Board of Health has made several attempts
to have Dr.. F. L. DIbbls srraigned as q
criminal because of his unssnitary opln-

pleasure of reading that this enemy of the
public health has bsen punished according
to his deserts. And this fact makes me
sad. Here is man who regards SANTA

that, he not only thinks so bat he has act

charlatans intent on lining our pockets By
continually starting tales OF pestilsuee

Moreover, he has had the disbOlicAl
patience xnd learning to write and print &
book In which be sets forth 8 multitude of
things well intended to mislesd the public
and induce unsuspicious persons to share
his pernielous belisfs.
Certainly such s writer ought to be
punished. thought at first that our
board of health would have some one TO
vsylsy him at night and bsAt him within an
