a LIBERAL LEAGUE.
The New Departure Advocated by the
Rev. DR.. Blanchard.


Rev. DR.. Blanchard. the distinguished
Universalist minister of this city, has
taken a new departure. Dr.. Blanchard
has long been known to be very liberal
movement to secure the formation of a
liberal league in the Universalist church.
He says that having urged others to
take the first step it seems to me my
duty to wait no longer A league will be
organized, several well known clergy
men having given assent, in substance,
to the declaration of purpose DR.. Blan-
chard prepared.
The declaration sets out that "We see
that vast and reaching changes of re-
ligious opinions have taken place during
the last 25 years. We believe that liv-
ing church will adapt itself to the living
issues of the living present. We desire
that the Universalist Church shall take
large place in the leadership of learning
and philanthropy. We believe that this
church can gain increase of power, dig
nifty of position and larger following and
usefulness by change of attitude
towards other bodies and of emphasis in
it's teachings. We believe that it is its
duty to cultivate fraternal relations with
the Unitarian and other religious and
ethical associations. We believe that it
is it's duty to make emphatic advocacy of
the truths of the Higher Criticism,
of the fact that all religions deserve rev.
erence and study, of the thought that
action in this life has great influence up
on the spiritual condition of the life in
another world, and of the need of ap-
plying Christianity to the great social
problems of the day."
DR.. Blanchard believes that the s'liber-
als'' will demand the publication of
their articles in the UNCONVENTIONAL pa
pers. and that great public meetings to
advocate the live issues will be held,
one, he suggests, in Boston in May next,
and another in Chicago.
The Gospel Banner says of Dr. Blan-
chard's plan: ''Some questions of seri-
Gus import are involved in the plan as
outlined in Dr.. Blanchard's communica-
ton. They should be seriously pondered
by all our people, and no hasty action
be taken by either wing of the church as
this article divides its membership. The
truth, and the truth only is what all
should aim at securing and promulgat-
ing. New ideas and new methods are
not to be adopted because they are new
and seemingly plausible at first sight;
and old ideas and methods are not to be
rejected because they are old"

CLIFFORD RANDALL SHOT,
He Drew "a Gun from Wagon by the
Wrong End-His Wound Not Con-
sidered Very Dangerous.

Mr.. Clifford Randall, son of Mr.. John
F. Randall, who lives at No. SO Eastern
Promenade, met with a serious accident
yesterday while cunning.
Mr.. Randall started on Wednesday
with Mr.. Charles H. Stanwood, Jr., of
No. So Congress street, for cunning
trip to Windham. They took their
dogs and guns in the wagon with them
and drove to the house of Mr.. Randall's
uncle, who lives beyond Blackstrap, in
the northern part OF Windham.
They arose early yesterday morning,
and with their dogs and guns in the
wagon, started along a road where there
were some good covers. When
they would come to cover they would
get out, put the shells into their guns
and with the dogs beat it up. Then they
would go on to the next. In one of
these covers Mr.. Randall shot wood
cock, and in the citation over the event
Mr.. Stanwood must have put his gun
back into the wagon without unloading
it. They put the two guns in the bac k
part, the muzzles pointing outward and
away from one another. The dogs were
then slowed on top of the guns. Mr..
Stanwood is very careful hunter, and
his gun was one of the very best ham
merless breech leaders with all the safe
ty devices. Even loaded it ought to be
safely handled in almost any way. When
they got out of the wagon, Mr.. Randall
stepped around, and reaching out his
right hand took Mr. Stanwood's gun by
the muzzle and began to draw it out of
the wagon. AS he did so it went off, al
most in his face and eyes, as it seemed
to Mr.. Stanwood, who was by his side.
Luckily the muzzle was turned enough
to one side SO the charge of the shot
struck the left arm only, tearing out the
feshy part about the biceps muscle.
Mr.. Randall did not faint or fall down,
although the wound bled profusely and
seemed very bad. Mr.. Stanwood bound
it up as well as he could, and then, get
ting his wounded companion into the
wagon. dashed the horse and drove tow
ards Gorham with the greatest speed.
At Gorham, physician was consult
ed, and by his advice Mr.. Randall pro-
ceeded to his home in this city. DR..
Bray was called, and with other physi-
clans an examination was made.
It was found that flesh wound had
been sustained; but it is not of such a
nature that serious apprehensions need
be felt.
Mr.. Standwood felt very badly over
the affair, feeling that he was at fault in
leaving the cartridge in his gun. But it
is quite common thing for guns to be
unexpectedly loaded, and Mr.. Randall
very properly blames himself for hand
ling the weapon as if it were not loaded.

CHAPTER I.
AT THE MARINERS JOY.

AT THE MARINERS JOY.
I was lazing on the rotten balcony before
che busy front of the Mariners Joy when
first saw Taras. He came from Ferryboat
alley, the passage running between the Joy
and Baxter's wharf and leading to the
steps where the old ferry used to ply, be-
tween that part of Shadwell and Rother-
hithe. and another man was with him
named Drigo. Taras was fine, big man,
fair, with a long tawny mustache and q
short beard. He was dressed like a work
man In dark gray suit. a flannel shirt and
blue handkerchief for tie, but he didn't
look like workman for all that-at any
rate not such as you see down Shadwell
way. He was too clean and active for that.
Drigo was not bit like him, being middle
aged, meager, with stoop in bis shoulders.
and having yellow face, with high cheek
bones, sparse black beard and slanting
eyes. Men like him are common enough
about Wrapping and the Highway.
They walked down to the stairs, and Dr,
20 pointed across toward the Commercial
docks, but could not make out what he
said. Taras nodded, and they turned round
and looked attentively at the Mariners
Joy and then Mt Baxter's wharf ON the
right and Johnson's yard at the left, Drigo
talking with great earnestness in a low
voice all the while and Taras listening
gravely as he smoked his pipe and replying
only with word or nod Of his head from
time to time. i couldn't make out what
they found to interest them, for Baxter's
wharf was shut up-and had been shut up
for years-and there was nothing in John
sons yard but great heap of rusting boil
ers and old iron. As for the Mariners Joy,
with its broken windows, the gaping planks
Of its bay front and the rotten balcony pro-
jecting over the muddy foreshore, there
was nothing in that to attract attention.
They saw me. and Drigo made a joke at my
expense, believe, for he chuckled as he
stared at me, but Taras smoked on gravely
and never smiled.
/ At length they quilted the steps and
came up Ferryboat alley, and a minute or
two afterward heard them open the door
in Sweet Apple lane and enter the sanded
bar went in through the bar parlor to
serve them.
Z "Give us some gin, miss" said Drigo,
speaking with an odd accent.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-10-02

"Girc US some GIN, MISS" said Drigo.
"We amt got no gin. We're lost our IL
cense," answered.
"That's good sign" said Drigo in a low
tone, nudging Taras.
"what do you people drink heres" Taras
asked.
"Pongelo--four half gently"
4 They decided to have some "four half"
and while was drawing it Taras said:
"Can we have q room here for a few
days'"
"'Tain't likely. None of the rooms amt
furnished. 'ceptin the parlor. and the bloke
sleeps in that"
where is the blokei"
"Gorned out"
"when will he be ins"
Don't know. Preaps five minutes, pre-
APPS not afore shuttin up time"
All that know now has been acquired
since that time. Then spoke Ike saw
age and was little better than a savage in
any way, having lived from my earliest
days friendless and utterly neglected.
Tarss and Drigo spoke together In a
tongue unknown to me, and that gave me
an opportunity Of looking at them more
closely. Taras was about 90 then, and as /
have said fine, large man. There were
resolution and strength in his chin and
nose, but great kindness in his mouth and
clear, deep blue eyes. could see then that
be was to be loved and feared as we'll. Not

his face. His deep sunk black eyes were
crafty: his mouth was brutal his mus

Two front teeth were missing, and the rest
were black. His face was deeply marked
by the smallpox. That type of man was
not unknown to me.
II suppose we may wait here till the-the
bloke returnsi" Taras said.
'You ken IL you like"
'sIs he your fatberi" asked Drigo, seating
himself on the bench facing the bar.
"No.n
"Your husbandi"
"No"
"what them"
"What's that TO your" replied.
