CAPE ELIZABETH.

At least a hundred and fifty residents
of Cape Elizabeth assembled at Oasis
Hall Saturday evening. Mr.. Joseph
Pickett presided and Mr.. Walter Dyer
was secretary.
Captain Rundlett said: Division is
bad. and will benefit only one portion
of the town; our taxes are too high. and
as one portion of the town gets more
benefit than the other, city charter
should be obtained.
Daniel McCann opposed division, as the
water front now pays IS per cent of the
tax, and he thought the farmers would
make a mistake if they favored division
Mr.. Albert Melcher favored charter
as. did Captain Davis.
Captain Boyd spoke early and often,
but always in favor of a charter.
MIR. Lowell believed every man had an
opinion. and he wanted a full expression.
He favored charter.
Mr.. H Jersey. Mr.. Sawyer, and DR.. Rogers
favored a charter
Mr.. Sawyer, who claimed to represent
he hayseeders," wanted division, and
Said the farmers wanted to be by them
selves.
Marcus Hanna opposed division, as he
feared the soldiers graves would not be
decorated by the farmers.
FIJI. Hartford and E. G. Reynolds spoke
oquently in favor of a city charter.
The resolutions adopted at South Port
land were unanimously adopted, and are
as follows:
In case OF any division of the town OF
Cape Elizabeth, the dividing line should
be an arbitrary line, from Portland
Head, striking Jordan Roberts's brook,
on Charles Waterhouse road, thence fol-
lowing the line already proposed, and
that there should be fair apportion-
ment of the town debt on all equitable
basis.
Resolved, That in case the above is not
satisfactory, we oppose division on any
line, and ask for city charter.
The following gentlemen were appoint
ed committee to go to Augusta and
urge city charter: &c. Reynolds, F

Briggs, care we'll for their respective
parts, FRANK E. Baker, the young patriot,
AL. II. Bailey, frontiersman, Harry j..
Thomas, q Tory officer, and Charles }.

In their parts.

songs by Miss Ellis, who Is remarkably
good singer; by Mr. Steere In comic
songs.

famous throughout this country by the
sterling actor, William DE Shelley, is
