revival services at the Park Avenue
M. E. church Wednesday evening,
April s, to continue one month, was
born in Preston, Ohio, in 1855. A
staunch Roman Catholic, he was con-
verified in a street meeting in 1875 in
Cincinnati, and soon was in the Ohio
Wesleyan University, from which he
graduated in 1881. While in college
his recreation was praying, converting
his room mates, holding revivals in the
Jail, conducting Chinese mission and
street preaching.
He entered evangelistic work after
serving different churches in the Cen
trail Ohio conference. During the last
ten years he has lead more than $4,000
persons to accept Christ. A newspaper
reporter in the cyclone cursed north
west called him The Tornado Evan
gelist" and the name was SO appropri
ate that it has never left him. He has
the ferYor and faith of Moody, the nerv-
Gus power of Harrison, the terrific
speech Of Sam. Jones without his
coarseness, the humor of Beecher, the
pathos ot Pearce, and is as dramatic as
Sturgeon and as unique as Father Tay-
Tor lis motto is. /" This one thing I
do. 0 God, give me souls. +"
Rev. |. H. Packard, of the Union
Square church, Somerville, says: He
| IS eloquent, arousing and absolutely
fearless. He has the greatest drawing
power of any evangelist | ever heard.
He produces more convictions by his
awfully pungent preaching than any
man ever met"
Rev. DR.. Mcdonald, pastor of the
Warren Street Baptist church, says:
Our church, which holds 1900 peo-
pie, has been packed to the doors every
night for two weeks. There were over
400 seekers, over 300 of whom have
given evidence Of conversion. Mr..
Weber breaches the gospel with mighty
power He carries the people with him
and makes them his friends. He has
given our entire congregation big lift
| Godward / never had to do with an
evangelist who was more thorough with
seekers than he."
Mr. Weber is now labor;ng at ST..
Pauls church, Lowell, where he has
been for several weeks. Over 800 diff
ferent persons have protested CONVEX
sion. Over 23O had united with St.
Paul's church before the meetings had
continued a month. The church seats
1900 and at almost every service
crowds Of people were turned away.
The Lowell papers state that (" Mr..
Weber had to crawl in through the
window and about 5000 people were
unable to get in" Oh two occasions.
lions Herald says: Mr.. Weber is a
man of God. He walks in no ones
tracks. His methods are unique and
he wins. He is at times tremendous
as he portrays the glories of heaven and
the awfulness Of hell. There are times
when he convulses his audience with
laughter and then moves them to tears
He may be called boisterous at times
and then it is so quiet the ticking OF
the clock can be heard all over the
house"
Go and hear him at Park Avenue
NJ. E church every evening from Apri
! s for one month.

True, Every Word.
Fond du Lac Reporter. ]

Hon. John Nagel, in his address be-
fore the Wisconsin Press Association,
struck the right key when he said:
''The editor who uses his columns to
iniure an individual on personal
grounds is all assassin of character,
worse than.the scandal-monger whose
opportunities are limited, more cow
ardly than the backbiter who does not
use weapon!given him by the public
to assail the defenseless.
1t is the duty of every editor to
digest the words of Mr.. Nagel. The
conduct of the best newspapers has
been in line with the sentiments eX-
pressed.

The Excitement OF The Freshct Gives way to

1t would seem to the average thinker
that the clements had sufficiently dis
praoed themselves through this section OF
the country without bringing disaster
upon disaster, In the shape of snow
storm, the equal of which has not been
experienced this winter.
1t has affected Augusta, neither one
way nor the other to any extent. But the
flooded sections down the river, bad as
they were have become worse with the
snow drifted about on all sides. In fact
the beastly old river has been quite
ignored, and. having done its harm, the
attention of the people has been diverted
from what it will do wholly to what has
been done.
Tuesday night was . hard one for some
travellers from the east, who had been
stalled in the city Tuesday, having been
left over night, the train on which they
arrived returning to Bangor, and who
found themselves with their tickets to
carry them through, the station for their
shelter; but no money in their pockets.

There was not very much fun in it, and
the little groups Of people which formed
wero, to put it mildly. a rather blue lot.
But they were resigned, and made the
best of 1t.
The hotels were crowded to the doors,
and the many drummers hung around,
and told their tales of woo.
AT noon the snow had reached depth
of over foot on n level, and the storm,
during the afternoon increased in VOL

ever.
The water in the river had steadily
fallen during then right, and had given
the mill people chance to get some work

The water on the dam was reported to
be about five feet, Wednesday, at which
height the wheels have been run, in times
past The state of the water below the
dam where the canal is, however, does
not correspond, and it is much higher
there than it should be, due to the
waters backing up from distractions

OUR NEW MANAGER.
W. C. Harrington Of Sharon, Pa. Engaged to
Handle the Kennebecs for 1896.

The long considered question Of a
manager for the Remedies during the
season of 1896, has Mt last been happily
settled by the selection of Mr.. W. G. Her
rngton of Sharon, Pa The feeling has
been that the best results could not be
secured by u player manager.
Mr.. Harrington is able at a pinch to go
in and put up a creditablc game, but he
will have no place on the team, directing
its work from tho bench and the coach
lines, where he will be found, in uniform,
every playing day of the season. He will
bring with HIM several fine players, in
Guiding two crack pitchers, who will
greatly strengthen the team.
Mr.. Harrington is recommended by
prominent base ball men, and by some of
| the leading business men Of his own city,
as a perfect gentleman, ana one who,
from long and successful experience in
the business, knows ball from A to H.
Dir. Hcrrington's career as a base ball
manager dates from 5SS, aud he has been
very successful in developing players, u
number of whom are now travelling in
fast company. With him in charge of our
team, we believe the outlook for the Ken
nebecs the coming season will be specially
bright.
All that remains is for the lovers of base
ball in this section to give the team the
generous measure of support that it merits,
and We feel safe in predicting that we
shall see faster ball in the Kennebec val
lev than has ever before been seen here.
Mr.. Herrngtons heart will be in his
work, for though be is we'll known in the
West, and has wider acquaintance with
ball players than most of the minor
league managers, this is his first appear
ance in the New England League, and he
will naturally be anxious to have his team

that the only section in his district which
suffered from the rains, expecting the
water front, was about the corner of Win
throp and Chestnut streets, the catch
basins there being badly choked by dirt
and debris. Considering the severity of

OF these there were 20; six men, II

The Augusta overseers of the poor were
prompt in offering aid Some were given
lodgings and food ut the City hotel; few
women, however, refused aid, and made
themselves as comfortable as the seats of

manned until about 8 o'clock, the follow

the party they were conveyed to Gardiner

Those in the station were provided with
food and were highly appreciativc of the
kindnesses shown them.
Perhaps the most aggravating loss re-
ported from the flood is that of Baldwin,

gravel. which he fears has been washed

about $50 people from far and near, who
had come in to Bangor, and way stations

Augusta was the terminus, and the
passengers crowded out to see what could
be done. When it was learned that trans

was clamoring and hustling among the
passengers, which has never before been
seen in this city. The announcement
that there would be train ready to leave
Gardiner for the west at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, was received with much relief,
as there were many whose business ap-
pointments and other engagements made
a tie-up thing most unbearable.
About the streets were vehicles of every
size and description. The closed teams
had the call, of course, as no ono cared
to face nine miles drive in the snow
that was flying.
About O'Clock team from Gardiner
arrived, containing nine PERSONS and
drawn by pair Of horses. These passen-
gers had come through as far as Gardiner
and were bound further east. They
went on up the river on the train leaving
here at 3. As 2 M.

brought up from Gardiner, in sleighs, and
horses. from all around were in great

AS the morning Wore away, many who
had determined to stay it cut and wait
