City Council in Session.

An adjourned meeting of the Westbrook
City Council was held last evening, Presi-
dent Lane in the chair.
May or Cordwell was in attendance and ex-
tended the invitations to the Council extern
ded by Cloudman Post, GAR, to join them
in Memorial Day exercises and of Valentine
Hose company to take part in the firemen's
banquet. The invitations were accepted.
The order appropriating $500 for the per-
manent establishment of drinking trough
at Duck Pond was passed finally.
The bill of appropriations for municipal
expenses as reported at the last meeting
was passed finally with an amendment re-
ducing the expenses of the city poor farm
$500 at the suggestion of the trustees.
Alderman Cloudman called attention to
the report of the chief engineer of the fire
department as to the lack of an adequate
amount of hose, citing the Norway fire and
offering an order appropriating $500 for new
hose. 1t had its first reading.
The order appropriating $4,000 for the
construction of new grammar school at
Cumberland Mills was taken up and dis
cussed.
Alderman Warren offered an amendment
which resulted in good deal of discussion.
The council went into committee of the
whole with Alderman Haskell in the chair.
Mr.. Mace, citizen stated objections to
the location. Alderman Haskell in the chair
spoke at some length and SO did Alderman
Dana. Aldermen verrill and Cloudman also
spoke.
The Mayor also spoke favoring the best
use of the present lot for the proposed new
school building. The matter was discussed
at length, the point seeming to rest as to an
eight or six room building.
Finally Alderman Cloudman moved an
amendment which provides for the erection
of a new eight room school house on the
corner of Main and Forest streets the same
to be completed the present year. This
means the demolition of the old square
primary building now on the lot and the
erection of the new handsome eight room
structure.

in the supposed case, Dr. Donald said
that he could not answer.
"Then what is the object of the illus
| tration?n
Because such case would have as
its effect Ito use term that perhaps
ought not to be used) to force the hand
of the bishops, and think their hand
needs forcing" (Applause)
DR.. Dalton was called upon, and said
in regard to the supposed case, he
doubted if there was bishop in the
country who would give the ordination
to Congregational minister. The only
thing to be gained by it would be, as
DR.. Donald said, to make the bishops
show their hands.
The Congregationalists came here and
set up church. as believe with all my
heart, and it has lasted 300 years, and
that is their answersas to whether a
church can exist without bishop.
The Doctor, with his usual eloquence,
presented the situation of the Episcopal
church in its attitude towards church
unity, and quoted Bishop Brooks as to
mis- opinion of the great American church
of the future, union of all creeds.
Rev. Mr.. Lindsay, another guest of..the
evening, spoke for the Methodists. The
question was also discussed by DIR. Jen-
kins and DR.. Fem.
Dr.D Dalton then told story to the
effect that on one occasion lady talked
with an Episcopal clergyman in Maine
as regards church unity, and he ex-
pressed himself very rigidly. He even
declared that all marriages outside the
Episcopal church were not valid in the
sight of God. Nevertheless the fact was
that his own parents were married by a
Methodist minister.

FIGHT WITH
THE COOK GANGS FATAL ATTEMPT
TO INITIATE THE DALTONS.
Looted n Bank at Chandler, o. T., and
Then Broke for the Woods with
a Posse i'm Pursuit.

GUTHRIE, o. T, July 31.-Another bank
robbery. with all the trimmings of a Dali
ton raid, was enacted to-day. AS a result
one citizen, j. NJ. Mitchell, a barber, is
dead, and one of the outlaws, who gives
his name as Ernest Lucas, is dying. Lucas
is twenty-one years old, and said his COM
rades were the members of the notorious
Cook gang, that has recently given Terri
tory officials so much trouble. Soon after
10 O'Clock this morning five armed men
rode into Chandler from the east, dis
mounted back of the Lincoln County Bank
and three rushed inside, while two stood
guard at the doors with Winchesters. Two
men covered the president, Harvey Lee,
and his brother, the cashier. and demanded
that they turn over the cash pretty quick,
while the third rushed into the private
office, where Teller Hoyt was seriously
sick, compelled him to walk TO the safe
and attempt to open it. Though a Win
chester was pointed in his face, he could
not stand long enough, but fell to the
floor, and the robbers kicked him
and shot at him, but missed
fire. The men on guard called out that IL
was time to go, and the three men grabbed
between two and three hundred dollars
lying on the counter and ran out to the
horses. In the meantime the guard at the
front door had shot and killed j. NJ.
Mitchell, a barber, who attempted to give
the alarm. The bandits had scarcely passed
out of the city when a posse mounted and
started in pursuit. Twice were the horses
shot from under the fleeing men, but they
compelled farmers coming to town to give
up their mounts and went on. Finally i
battle was fought for nearly fifteen min
utes, when one of the robbers was shot
through the hip and the others scattered
and diSappeared in the hills of the Creek
country. The wounded robber gave his
name as Ernest Lucas, aged twenty-one,
and said the others were the notorious
Cook gang, and he had been with them but
a week.
The names of the escaped bandits are
given as Bill and Tom Cook, leaders of the
gang; Jack Starr and Tulea Jack, and a
number among the desperate in the Terri
tory.

These revolutions are not the MOrk % Oass

Justice and respect for law upon which rest
