LAW AND ORDER.
Manchester League Sends q Communica-
ton to the Governor.

Manchester, N. H., October l5.-The
Law and Order League of this city has
caused q sensation by presenting the
following petition to Governor Busiel
Strive take the liberty Of electors in
our state, respectfully to call your atten-
tion to the disregard of some OF the laws
of the state by officers that exist ~ your
appointment We refer especially to the
administration of the police commits
sioners in some of our New Hampshire
cities such as Manchester and Nasua. We
will not insult your intelligence by pro-
Dusing to furnish evidence of their neglect
to execute the existing laws. One OF
these conclusions is that our officers can
not W ith impunity ignore public conduct
until after private complaint or prosecu-
tion calls attention to such neglect or
misdemeanor. They are expected OF their
own volition to I4ovide good order and
lawfulness.
Those who hold superior official
positions are accountable for the conduct
of their appointees and subordinates The
police commissioners OF our cities. we re-
spectfully suggest are your appolntees
and subordinates. We present our COM
plants to you against our police COM
missioners and charge that they are con-
fessedly and have for months ignored the
plain conditions of the prohibitory law IN
dealing with liquor sellers within their
jurisdiction. We appeal to you to in
yestigate the conduct of these officials.
The temperance people of the state do
not overlook the fact that the members of
the police commission as at present con-
stituted, are, every one of them, the open
enemy of the prohibitory law. Not a
single friend of the measure they were
chiefly to execute has been called to serve.
and one memberof your selection upon the
No., oh. hoard
license man.
Very respectfully,
REV. F. S. BACON, President.
REV. M. W. BORTHWICK, Secretary.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J


Sanford, October 15--Some interesting
events are taking place on the Cycle path
at Mousam River park this week. -Wilfred
Senior, who without doubt is the fastest
man in the state, is making an effort to
break all of the Maine bicycle records.
The trials are being made under sanction
of the L. A. w., ending Saturday night.
Jack Wettergreen's quadruplet is being
used for pacing purposes, ridden by b. p
Borden. Guy Stover, Arthur Bennett and
Bert Gerry. The track was very heavy
this afternoon and consequently at least
eight seconds slow. Senior only made one
effort this afternoon, but succeeded in
lowering the state record for one miles
flying start, paced from 2. 10 to 1881.
The first half was made in 1.04, which is
one second under the state record for the
flying half paced. Preparations were
made for an attempt to break the record
for two miles, flying start, paced, but
just as Senior was about to leave the
tape the rear chain on the quad broke
and that ended the sport for the day.
Senior is riding Jack Wettergreen's S
Warwick in his record trials.

luton was adopted providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to attend the

Ex-Gov. Prince of New Mexico offered

s38, GOO, 600 raised and expended by the
American church for all purposes during
the past three years. There is gain of
over three hundred in the number of
clergymen in the church during the past
three years. The increase in communi-
cants is more than $1,000 greater than
three years ago. The increase is more
than 10 per cent, and the increase only
per cent in the clergy. There is great
demand for a larger expenditure for
stipends of the clergy. The parishes
have increased over 9 per cent. A resolu-
tion was received from the house of
bishops making Northern Minnesota
missinary district until all the circum-
stances can be inquired into and the
whole matter settled by authority. 1t
was referred. DR.. Hoffman called for
the order of the day.

unanimous vote decided to refer the
entire matter of revision to special COM
mittee of it's own members with instruc-
tion to report at the triennial convention
at Washington in 1898. Article four of
the constitution which provides for the
establishment of Provincial system, :"
