Gamblers Leave TOwn-Child bitss By a
Dog.


The gamblers who have had a rendezvous in
part of the old car barn have flown, thanks
TO Chief of Police BigDee and the moral stand
ards held by the people of Arlington. Since
the departure of the gamblers little stories
have leaked out which show how very hard
were their efforts To stay in the village of
Arlington. It cannot bee said that they offered
bribes but they sounded certain men with n
view TO making it an object 20 these men to
discontinue their attacks upon them. The
chief of police laughed in speaking of these
efforts made 10y the gamblers. He told the
men that approached him that he had been
an Officer for eighteen years, and he guessed
1t would take better men than they ars to
draw him from the path OF duty.
A newspaper man, too, was approached by
tool of the gamblers. Tho reporter was
told that 1t would DO TO his advantage If he
would discontinue his attacks upon the
gamblers. Others were approached, and,
Judging from tho way in which two of these
men spoke about the gam oling den after they
"had been seen," showed they wanted the

Weavers Looking For an Increase Of
Wages-Gensral Notes.

Now that all the woolen mills in the
city arc going to raise wages the weavers
OF the Wanskuck and Geneva mills are
asking each other what Mr. Metcalf is
going TO do. A return to the old price
list Of 1893 is expected and also the single
loom system, which was in vogue five
years ago. Today the weavers say they
are doing two mems work when they run
two large looms There is much talk
among them of reorganizing again. but
as they are all married men, and the
women have families depending on them
this may be a difficult thing to do. Five
years ago the weavors were one of ths
strongest organizations in the city. The
business men are elated over the prospect
that wages will be raised. and that some
of the back bills might he paid. How
ever. the outlook seems to he much
brighter and the help in the two mills
feel confident that their wages will be
raised the first Of December.

Church Cornerstone Laid-LoSt HIS
Chicken Dinner.

The cornerstone Of the rev Ballou
Universalist church on Capitol Hill was
faid at o'clock yesterday afternoon In
tho presence OF goodly number OF the
society. The services opened with the
singing Of the doxology by the congrega-
tion which had gathered near the place
where the stone was laid. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Z. l.. Houghton OF Paw
tucket who assisted Rev. James ID
Tillinghast the pastor CT the church.
The discourse appropriate to the occa-
sion was by Rev. Mr.. Tillinghast and
was a brief one, owing to the lateness OF
the hour. The pastor said that oil had
gathered according TO custom To take the
first step in setting apart the new struc-
turs to the services Of religion and the
material structure was but symbol of
the material church. Under the stone
Rev. Mr.. Tillinghast said was placed
box in which wero over 800 stubs OF
shares in the new structure, which
had been sold, names OF the church
officers. "A picture of the old chapel with
the history of the chief events connected
with the parish, some old coins and the
denominational and local papers.
The speaker then called attention TO
the purpose OF the church structure and
that as all were interested in its building
90 should they enoeavor TO build
a spiritual structure. Its object
was to establish and propagate
y religious community cmbodyiDg the
truths Of the gospels as Universalists
read them. There was room for such
work in tho community and the society
should labor earnestly to do the work.
God will bless us in that labor and the
day will come when our children looking
upon this structure and recalling our
work will say we did not know today
how great work we began. The invis.
ible church must be built upon Christ
and His spirit and teachings must enter
iuto our life and work." the pastor said
in concluding his discourse.
Tne new church is the result OF the
earnest work of Rev. Mr.. Iillinghast, and
his people. who have made many sacri-
foes to provide for its building. Most of
the work on the exterior of the new build
iO0 Is C0mUf6tCu.
