II Touched The Chord for Harmony

In the serene tranquility Of every day af-
fairs there has been for several months lit
tie to impress on the Democratic party in
this ely the real blessedness of harmony.
There seemed so little to hope from the
powers that inhabit the capital city by the
Potomac that the staunch war horses went
their respective ways and felt in an indef-
mite sort of way that they loved their
brethren in the political fold, one and all.
Thursday shortly after dinner few cleo
trical pusatons along the Western Union
wire set other and greater pulsations in
motion, and by nightfall one could easily
imagine the roar Of the waves breaking on
rocky shore.
The Democratic chord of harmony, with
big "h," was touched, and sweet strains
were heard.
In about Is minutes after the dispatch
announcing the appointment of Thos. j.
Lynch, Esq. rs postmaster of the Augusta
office was received at the telegraph station,
one CHANGING to be on Water street and
familiar with existing conditions had little
difficulty in picking out the Democrats.
Little knots gathered here and there.
Those who feel some share in the great
responsibility Of the national administration
were seen to move with unaccustomed
celebrity. Some of the conversation heard
was in minor key and other talk was
pitched in high G.
Postmaster Stinson was seen to go into
the law office of Mr.. Lynch and is supposed
to have contributed his share Of the shower
of congratu' atoms which Mr.. Lynch re-
ceived.
1t i, expected that Mr.. Lynch will assume
his duties about the first of February as
the confirmation will probably be made I'M
mediately.
Who is to be assistant postmaster is the
next thing to talk about.

IN Enthusiastic Parish Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Unitarian So
ciety held o, Wednesday evening was very
gratifying to all the friends of the parish.
Supper was served at $50 by Mrs. Geo.
Cony and Mrs. Everett Stone. About fifty
gathered at the tables. Following the sup
per an experience meeting was held with
reports from all those having earned q
dollar toward payment of the church debt.
Not little enthusiasm was manifested and
the varied and unique experiences enc
tied much applause. About S75 was thus
realized. Mrs. Horace Cony, Mrs. r..
Stone, Mrs. Geo. Cony and Mrs. +. Nc
Murde were the happy originators OF the
plan.
At the business meeting Mr.. 4. Nc
Murdie was elected moderator, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the ensuing
year: Frank II. Partridge, Lyman Fogler'
D. W. Emery. executive committee
Pm. Foeler, clerk; Mrs. II. w. True
treasurer and collector; Mr.. Allen Partridge
auditor.
Two months ago the society had cumu'
ladve debt of $40. The committees re-
port at the close of the meeting showed q
balance of only eight dollars to be raised.
In moment this sum was taken care OF
thus cancelling tn, entire debt. Ims
happy showing is largely due to
the untiring labors of 4. McMurdie
and L. c. Cornish. Messes. McMurdie and

retirement they have the thanks and esteem
Of the whole parish.

The Annual Fair Great Success Financially
and Otherwise.

The Chizzle Wizzle Fair this year proved
big financial success and was most credit
able to the several committees connected

The sale of Refreshments netted the larg-
est income of any of the sales though all
were quite good. All the booths were un-
usually attractive and so were the displays.

the work. All have shared the work and
should share the reward.
What with the sale of admission tickets
and the sums taken the first night, the
mount was large enough to pay all ex-
penses. The dance was well patronized
from among the best people in the city and
was thoroughly enjoyable. The music by
Prof. Dennis orchestra was excellent.
The scene that was presented when the
dancing began was animated and pleasing.
On the floor were all the dancers that could
well be accommodated and the galleries
were nearly full of spectators. 1t was a
gala night as well fer the associations

General Manager F. W. Cram of the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad, returned on
"wednesday morning from trip to Boston
and New Ysrk, and on Wednesday after
noon business meeting Of the board of
directors was held, At which Mr.. Cram told
the story Of his trials and triumphs.
The Aroostook Construction Company
and Mr.. L. P. Treat and his contractors,
having completed the line from Aroostook
junction, Brownville, to Houlton, dis
tsnce of SO S6-l00 miles have finished their
contracts and the road having been accepted
BY the railroad commissioners Of Maine as
fit for travel, and by the American Express
Company a. in proper condition to carry on
the business of that company, all the con-
ditions having been fully complied with, the
line from Brownville to Houlton was turned
over to the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Company December 81, 1893, since which
time the company has had full control aud
possession of the new road.
OWlnX u uctp Blu" huu ATOZtu HECu1u
the complete ballasting of the road was not
pushed, and may not be finished until
spring. Trains from Brownville to Houlton
and from Houlton to Brownville are run
ming every day, however, and passengers
will find ample accommodations and rapid
transit at moderate rates. Owing to the
very large amount Of freight to be trans
ported both ways Mr.. Cram will keep up
the present service until spring, unless the
demands Of the travelling public increase,
in which case he will put on additional
trains. His aims have always been and will
still be to keep his railroad in advance of
public demand, and thus forestall any and
all requests for additional service.
The outlook for the new road is most
cheering The contractors have exceeded
their agreement in zeal for the new road,
and the men at home and abroad who have
promised financial aid have been prompt in
meeting all obligations. Mr.. Cram is full
Of cheer, and will probably 60 to Houlton

Cur New Po,,ma,s.r.

Mr. Thomas J. Lynch, our new rostmss.
teF' y native Of Augusta, having been
born here Nov. 80, 1858, and is therefore
35 years of age.
he was educated in the public schools of
the city and the Dirigo Business college.
he began working in grocery store when
IA years old and passed through the variou,
positions up to that of ok-keeper. He
has held several positions conferred upon
him by the citizens Of Augusta, all of which
he has performed the duties Of faithfully
and we'll.
He was tity clerk in the years 1875,
and was assistan. postmaster under Post
master Fowler from 1885 to 1889, familiar
izing himself with all the details of the Of
flee, the duties of which he performed with
signal ability and to the satisfaction of the
people. Mr.. Lynch read law with the late
Gardiner c. Vose and was admitted to the
bar Of this county in the year
1885, and after leaving the post
Office he began the practice of his
profession in Mr.. Vose's old office, where
he has ever since remained, having built up
a very fine office practice. Mr.. Lynch has
always been active in every movement that
promised to promote the best interests of
the city and its people. He was among the
first to aid in the organization of the Au-
gusta Loan and Building Association, and
was made one of its first directors, and later
on was elected its vice president, and is
now its president. 1t is not too much to
ssy that Mr.. Lynch has given more time to
the work of the association, which has done
so much to advance the material interests
of Augusta and the welfare of its people,
than any other man connected with it.
Mr.. Lynch is treasurer and director in
the Augusta board of trade, and one of the
directors in the Augusta, Hallowell & Gar
diner Electric r. r. Co.
He is chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Howard Benevolent Society, that
has done so much for the needy poor of his
native city.
1t can be truthfully said of Mr.. Lynch,
that be is q self-made man, starting in life
a poor boy, without the aid of influential
friends. He has succeeded by his own eff
forts backed by ability, pluck and perse-
verance in reaching position in the battle
of life that commands the respect of all
good citizens. While Mr.. Lynch has al
ways been prominent in the wo:k of his
party, he has never been such an offensive
partisan, as to prevent him from having
many friends among those of opposite
political faith. He has been supported IN
his candidacy for the position to which he
has been appointed by the best men in his
party, as we'll as large and influential por-
ton of the Republican party, who, in the
event of change preferred him to any
other member of the Democratic party. 1t
is but reasonable to predict that Mr..
Lynchs appointment will give as general
satisfaction to the citizens of Augusta,
irrespe ctive of party, as that of any member
of the local ID mocracy and that bis man
apemept of the eff will be characterized
by a desire to serve the public faithfully
and we'll. Mr. Lynch has been receiving
congratulations from prominent men al
all over the State.
