FREE OR IN BONDAGE.
At the Y. nj. c. A. Rooms, Rev. G. w.
Hinckley Declared the Difference Be-
tween Christian Y Dung Men and Others.

At the Y. M. C. A. rooms Sunday after
noon there was large attendance of young
men, who came to listen to Rev. q. W..
Hinckley, manager of the Good Will Farm
of Fairfield. Me.
Mr.. Hinckley desired that careful atten-
ton should be given to the question as to
what is the difference between Christian
young men and those who are not. They
may not differ in appearance. put the
Christian young men can never come in
bonds age to anything If he obeys the bloie
instructions. There are young men In TINS
city who are more in bondage to sin than
was even negro in bondage to men before
the war. Tie difference is then the dlner-
ence between bondage and liberty.
The speaker had seatmate at scnooi'
bright happy boy with better prospects
than l." He was stronger physically as Was
after settled and financially his prospects
were brighter. After their school days the
paths of the two boys separated.
Said Mr.. HiLckley, II chose the liberty
that Christ promises to those that accept
him. The other boy declared that he was
going to have good time.
81 am free man and for fifteen happy
years have preached the gospel of Christ"
For seven years bis old schoolmate was
convict in the State OF Connecticut, and did
three in prison, because he made up his
mind to follow the world and have good
time.
He was taken back to his old home in
Maine, and there was no one to drop tear
over his grave.
when you say Of anyone that he's
Christian young man you are saying all that
you can Say about freedom and happiness
in this worId.''
Mr.. Hinckley dwelt upon the awful condi-
ton of being under condemnation. and
compared and contrasted the condemnation
of he who has sinned against the laws of
man and him who has stnned against the
laws of God. In this way he showed the
difference between the young man who Is
under condemnation and he who is q
Christian young man. 1t is the difference
between the bondage of the condemned
murderer and the freedom of the law-abid-
ing citizen.
Secretary Garland announced that the
dir ectors had decided that it was eoessary
to have some new books. They had been
given good bargain for one hundred paste-
board covered "Pentec ostal hymn books
and two hundred Taper covered books. he
desired that $50 might be collected for that
purpose.

LEGISLATIVE INVESTi-
CATION.
An Outcome of the Recent Annual Meeting
of the Cumberland County Fair Associa-
Notwithstanding Il. Il. whitney MOI
Only Refuses to Give Up His Books, But
Demands New Election.

1t will be remembered that at the recent
annual meeting, al Gorham. of the Cumbe:-
land County Fair association. there was
some discussion as to the selling of several
membership tickets for $40 piece, the
regular price being $50 The auditors called
the attention CT the meeting to the facts
that the books showed that nine OF
ten membership tickets had been sold for
$40 each. This seemed to call for some ex-
PLANTATION. as the established price was $50.
and il seemed desirable to know why GER
tain parties should be favored with tickets
of membership at half price.
Mr.. Warren H. Vinton, of Gray, president
of the association, arose to explain. he
said that these parties had been sold tickets
at half price, with the understanding that
if ever the association was in need of
money. they should respond with the other
$40. also that some would give an equivalent
in services rendered the society. AT this
one or two of those who had obtained
tickets for $40, arose to deny that. as lar
as they were concerned. there had been any
such understanding. They paid their Slo
for the tickets without expecting to pay
any more.
A good deal of talk resulted from this,
and among those most prominent In eS-
pressing dissatisfaction with the situation
was Mr.. B. f. Whitney. the secretary of the
society. When the election of officers took
place he was not reelected. DR.. leighton,
of Westhrook was elected in his place.
Ever since then Mr.. Whitney has refused
to admit his defeat, or to give up his books.
declaring that the election was not valid.
inasmuch as some voted. who had paid only
$40 for their membership ticket and were
therefore not legitimate members.
We are credibly informed that recently
Mr.. Whitney has written letter to Presl-
dent vinton, In which be declared that IN
less new meeting was called and new
election had, he should bring the matter to
the attention of the legislature and demand
legislative investigation. The result or this
letter we have not learned.

THE E. f. WILLARD LOST.
Saturdays Storm Was Dangerous on
This Coast.

Small Point Beach the Scene of the
Saturdays storm was very severe on the
coast, and such vessels as were near lana
found themselves in a dangerous posltlon.
The schooner William Keen, which mas
arrived safely in this port, had quite hard
time. Captain Robinson says that at times
during the storm it Was quite impossible to
see twice the length of the vessel. The
heavy gale from the southeast tended to
drive vessel straight onto the shore.
The schooner E. f. willard, of this Port,
was caught off Cape Small Point and driven
onto the beach, where, according to mere
reports received here, she will be a total
loss. 1t is believed that her crew are safe.
The Willard was commanded by Captain
Frank York of Orr's Island, and manned by
a crew of eight Orrs islanders. Both
captain ana crew were recently in the
schooner Monticello. The Willard left Port
land week ago Saturday for a fishing trip.
1t is supposed that she was TO the eastward
of the Kennebec and ian onto the beach
while running for Orr's Island. Captain
York telegraphed to this city the news of
the disaster.
The K. 4. Willard was we'll known men,
Der of P tland's fishing feet. She was
fifty-fve tons. and was built as South Bris-
tol. Me-, in 1857. Her hailing port was
Southport, but few years ago she was
brought to Portland. She was owned, one
half by Sargent. Lord and Skillings and the
other half by Mrs. E. II. Robinson. She was
valued at $500.
The schooner has of late been rather an
unlucky vessel. About year ago she went
ashore in Ipswich Bay and sustained DAM
ages which cost about $780,
1t is understood that she was not insured.

KICKS AND CURSES.
Outraoaous Behaviour of Police Officer
He Assaulted and Insulted Citizens With
out Discrimination.

There was finale to the arrest of the
disturbers OH Fore street Saturday night
that will probably result disastrously to one
police officer, and may lead to suits for
damages for the city.
One of the police officers at about 1880
came tearing down Exchange street to
where several young men were quietly con-
vsrsing with n we'll known newspaper man.
II is alleged that the first warning of tie
officers approach was yolley of oaths and
the direction to Ego 60 - - -
One of the young men in surprise at such
outrageous language asked him If he was
addressing them, and.his reply was certain
~ convincing, for it was. delivered in
the way in which the humble Jack defends
nimself-by kicks. Cursing like an insane
man, the officer started across the street
to where another newspaper man stood and
it is alleged with more choice billingsgate
ordered him home. All other persons in the
vicinity Jared alike. and it is said that the
officer delivering kicks where they seemed
likely to do the most good-which will
probab bly,, be the ground for several suits
disappeared up the street leaving an echo
of profanity. 1t is alleged one of his acts
was to brutally kick cripple in spite of
the 1atter's protest that he was going home
as rapidly as possible.
A sea captain. whose vessel is now in
port. was accosted by one of his crew who
desired small ad vance of wages. He bad
just accommodated him when he was over
hauled by the officer, who he alleges said he
had been obstructing the sidewalk. and the
usual profanity followed.
1t is understood the officer in question
had orders to keep his beat clear and he
certainly obeyed. The young men assaulted
are thoroughly respectable, and threaten to
institute legal proceedings, and they are In
dignant at receiving such treatment on the
street.
