bell, left over from the 40 days meet last
fall, some semblance OF order was re-
stored, aud Judge Palmer was rec
ognized as having :the fioor.i The Judge
proceeded with his argument against the
resolution, but was continually inter-
rupted, good naturedly giving way TO
Others who questioned and disputed him.
The confusion had again become so great
that II resembled much more q betting
ring than a deliberate meeting OF staid
citizens. AT this junction resolution TO
adjourn was offered, and check list called
for, and amidst the widest confusion
the citizens deposited their ballots on the
motion to adjourn. After nearly one and
one half hours interruption the meeting
was again called to order, and the an
nouncement OF the defeat OF resolution
OF adjournment announced. Dir. Hall
Immediately called for the passage OF the
resolution on city charter, which was put
and amid great enthusiasm carried with
a very few dissenting votes.
A recent act of the General Assembly,
authorizing the town to incur debt not
to exceed per cent. OF the taxable prop
erty OF the town, was voted on and passed.
A resolution petitioning the Begisla-
ture for power to float 100000 per cent.
gold bonds, running 30 years, caused q
lively discussion.
Mr.. Hunt of Arlington, who had been
Offering resolutions in favor OF reform all
day, opposing bitterly the adoption OF
resolution asking the taxpayers TO pay as
you go, and not load the town with this
additional debt. Lawyer Edwin Z,
Peirce, in q logical and forceful speech,
argued against tho sentiment of paying
as you go. He declared IL to be imprac-
ticable and against all precedent in the
government of towns, municipalities,
states and nations and cited the course
of the nation at the close of the civil
war as concluding argument in
favor OF the issuance of the bonds.
On the question being called for, q
demand for a check list was again made
by the statesman from Arlington, and
after another vexatious delay the resolu-
tion was finally adopted by vote OF l57
in favor 10 70 against.
The last act on the part OF the minority
exasperated the Assembly to such de-
gree that they Immediately proceeded TO
discipline said minority, and from then
until the close of the meeting said minor
ity were not again heard from. After
passing the remaining appropriation for
highways recommended by Town Council
the most disgraceful meeting in the long
and honorabl history of the town came
TO an end. After the meeting had dis
persed few hot headed disputants con-
tinued their arguments, with threats of
bodily harm TO each other, but wiser
counsel prevailed, and they, too, dis
persed, sadder and wiser men.

The Merrimac River Made a Record
But il is Now Receding.
CONCORD, n. H., April 15.-The rise in
the waters of the Merrimac, which has
been the engrossing event in this valley
for three days past, reached its cli-
max at midnight, when the river
touched high water mark at a point
nearly two feet above the mark set by the
local flood In 1869. Since six o'clock last
night, however, the river had falleen four
inches and is still receding. Railroad COM
munication north and south is still held in
allegiance, but trains are run to Boston. at
intermittent hours, via Hancock Junction.
The main lines of the Concord 81 Mon
treal and Boston a. Maine,
north and south, are still held
up, although the Concord q
Claremont has opened communi-
ication over its entire length. During
the night telephonic and telegraphic
communication became seriously involved
by the flood and this morning the wires
are in bad condition.

NEARLY KICKED TO DEATH.

trfct Court this morning, charged with
brutally assaulting his wife. Kirwin had
been drinking last evening, and
he, with some of his associates,
on McDonough street. He was about
to leave the house for the purpose
of getting a fresh supply OF beer when
his wife objected. This made Kirwin
angry and he turned upon her, knocked
her down, and repeatedly kicked her in
the abdomen. Two physicians were
called and il is thought that
the injuries will terminate fatally.
Kirwin pleaded not guilty this morning,
and was held in the sum OF 500 to await

talking over the business OF his Of

planning among other things the pa

these matters, Coy. Peck never so
much as whispered or intimated that
he had secretly signed these pardons,

$50 convicts, the largest number ever
pardoned in any four years in the

have had an Unsuitable desire to

that he waited until the last hours Of

shows that he was ashamed of his

general fund, the cash of that fund
is actually oyerdraWn TO the amount
