The Citizen and the Dog.

Last evening good citizen rushed
into the Marshal's office and asked what
he had been doing that he should be
ordered down before the municipal
court. Marsha. Trickey blandly in
formed him that he had omitted to Ii
cense his dog. whereat the good citizen
explained that it wasn't his dog, but
only dog that stayed at his house. He
had also forgotten all about the matter
of license, and in addition didn't
know wnen the licensing time expired.
What am going to do?" he asked. and
it was evident that the Marshal didn't
comfort him greatly when he said
Some down tomorrow and pay s14.
Later in the interview the Marshal held
out faint hope that in the midst of
justice Judge Gould might remember;
mercy and take something off from the
$14.

THE 18TH ANNIVERSARY.
Odd Fellows Celebrate Suitably at
City Hall.

Fine Musical Programme-speeches by
Gov. Cleaves ann Alfred S. Pinkerton of
Massachusetts.
The celebration of the seventy-ifth ami
versary of Odd Fellowship at the City hall,
last evening, was very notable occasion,
and a splendid milestone in the progress of
Portland Odd Fellowship. There was really
a magnificent audience. Every seat was
full, both in the galleries and on the floor.
On the stage and were American Cadet
Orchestra and many prominent Odd Fellows,
among them being Daniel f. Gerts, the
Oldest Odd Fellow in the city; H. H. Hay,
Clerk of Courts Stone, Alfred Woodman and
others. After several delightful Sc lections
from the orchestra and the Haydn quar-
tette, Gov. Cleaves was introduced as one
of the prominent M mbers of the order for
many years. He spoke briefly to the follow
ing effect:
This is grand audience You are here
because you believe in this organization.
You know its beneficial influence. 1t
stretches out it's hands to the unfortunate
and gives aid to the suffering. Its streams
of comfort never cease to flow. Its efforts
to elevate manhood are ceaseless. 1t was
established in this country three-quarters
of century ago. In growth it has kept
pace with the country. There are more
than 10000 active members, relieving the
afflicted, educating the orphans. 1t is an
organization that adheres to friendship,
love and truth, that is always found upon
the side of good order and government. The
world is better for it. More than fifty years
ba firct lodi Of Maine was fa hliSbpd
in Portland. Today in Maine there are TO-
900 members, and in Portland 5000. Much
of the strength and power of the Odd
Fellows lies in the Rebekah lodges. The
men have learned in this country, that all
grand efforts are of little avail without the
cooperation of the women of this country.
(Applause)
He introduced Mr.. Alfred S. Pinkerton,
as one who occupies prominent position
throughout the country in the order, and as
Grand Representative from Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Pinkerton said that this was the
first time that he had ever
visited Maine He briefly and elo-
quently referred to the growth and his
tory of the nation, and said that the same
influences made possible the growth of Odd
Fellowship. He said that Odd Fellowship
was born out of the needs of common
humanity He did not claim for it any great
antiquity. That is not necessary. To meet
common needs is all that is wanted of this
institution. From the time the order
started, SOL, 200 had been paid for the
benefits of those who needed it's help. One
Portland brother had spoken to the speaker
insuhe ante-room that evening and said that
he had been member for over fifty years.
and had not asked for solitary cent. But
think of the influence for good that he has
been able to silently extend among his
fellow members all those years.
Mr.. Pinkerton's speech was listened to
with great interest. After further musical
selections, the great audience dispersed.

Over Supper Tickets, Followed by
Police Station-The Lively Sociable of
lions Church.
Last night in Thatcher Post hall the
members of the Zion's NJ. E. church,
(colored) were enjoying special occasion.
Bishop Hood of the diocese of New York
and New England, was present, upon his
first visit to Portland. He had just finished
his lecture at about 1890 O'Clock, when three
young negroes appeared. The story is told
by::Mr. Wilkey, who took the supper tickets
and had charge of good part of the
occasion, that these three young men were
Braxton and Harry Reed and stranger.
Many of the company say that they We're
intoxicated, and came there to make
trouble. Mr.. Wilkey says that they en-
deavored to get supper without paying for
it, or at least desired to do in the matter
what it was contrary to his orders to allow
and he refused. Whereupon one OF them
struck at him and he naturally resisted
Almost a general melee followed. Certainly
one cane and one cha took part in 1T. One
man says that the minister, Mr.. Robinson,
was struck. The janitor of the hall.also was
struck The three young negroes were
driven from the hall. Soon after Mr.. Wilky
met these three, as one of them says, while
with a lady going home. He started for
them, they say, and tried to strike them.
Officer Riley came along just then and they
asked him to arrest Mr.. Wilkey. He did SO
and they all came to the station.
The Reed brothers claim that they did
nothing disorderly, but were insulted by
Mr., Wilkie; hence the fight All the colored
people are very sorry that it should have
happened. They have held weekly services
there for a year and never had any trouble
before.
In the police station one negro declared
that the strange negro said that II any one
touched Harry Reed he'd shoot him. The
stranger angrily denied this, and called the
other man liar several times, and had to
be auieted by an officer. Several negroes
were in the station and all were excited,
and all kept telling the story with different
versions many times.
The stranger is a Southerner. and is
working for the Portland Company.
Other facts are that BraxtOn Reed told
Deputy Sterling that he had been insulted
there, that the minister, Mr.. Robinson, in
suited him.
clared that Braxton Reed assaulted him
first, and Reed declared to the contrary.
After telling their stories at the police
station, the parties to the controversy
settled their differences and all departed
for their homes, the charge against Mr..
Wilkey being withdrawn.

A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
MIR. John Flannagan's Team Comes Into
Collision With Ladder Truck MOL,
With Disastrous Results.

A fire alarm rung in from box "a just
before noon called the department to
the corner of Lincoln and Pearl streets.
The fire was in the boiler room of the
wood working establishment of Reuben
Wescott, on Lincoln street, and did not
amount to much, although 1t was neces-
sary for the firemen to put little water
on to it.
The most important incident was a
collision which occurred at the corner of
Lincoln and Pearl streets. Ladder Truck
No was coming down Lincoln street at
full speed at the same time that Mr..
John Flanagan, the contractor, was
driving down Pearl street in wagon
drawn by single horse. Flanagan
was little ahead at the intersection
of the streets and nearly cleared the
other team; but the pole of the ladder
truck caught in one of the rear wheels
or some other portion of his carriage.
In an instant there was fearful smash.
FIannagan's wagon was literally
wrenched to pieces and hurled about,
while it's owner was thrown forcibly
into the air amidst the debris of his
team. One of the horses drawing ssthe
ladder cart went down at the same time
and was dragged along.
Flanagan was picked up. apparently
badly hurt.
He was carried into neigh boring
house. DR.. Way was summoned. An ex-
animation disclosed that three ribs on
the right side were broken. He was
also badly shaken up The doctor had
him taken home, where he was made as
comforta ble as possible.

LUKE SHORT.
The Peaceful End of Notorious
Frontier Bad Man.

The Peaceful End of a Notorious
Frontier Bad Man.
The late Luke Short, the western
bad man and bosom friend of such
other bad men rs Bat Masterson,
Doc Holiday and Senator" Bias
sett, the latter Dodge City's eele-
brated marshal, was one of the best
known characters on the Kansas
frontier twenty five years ago.
Though the hero of many shooting
ARRAYS and a desperate whose
nerve amounted to bravado, he
was slight and unassuming fellow
of quiet manners and gentlemanly
demeanor He was one of the few
border ruffians who possessed the
drawing room characteristics at
tributed to such worthless by the
writers of florid frontier romances.
He dressed well and without osten-
tation, and when he had to kill q
man, as happened several times dur.
ing his career, he did it with all the
finish but with all the reluctance
that an imaginative story teller
could desire. Short was in business
at the time of his death in Denver,
where his old chum, Bat Master
son, is deputy sheriff The last man
he killed was a Fort Worth bully
named COPYRIGHT, into whom he put
a bullet in saloon about four years
ago. He was never called to account
for any of the men he had sent
