to stick by his conscience and declare
the foul in the goal when he saw it..
AS matter of fact the Portlands had
the Augustus beaten from the start.
That is comical. The Gardiner players,
who We're present. said that the deci-
sion was wrong.
Then the Argus goes on to criticize
a press report which it virtually charges
us with sending out. We refer you to
the copy on file at the telegraph office,
which shows that every players name,
every rush and time of each period was
correctly sent. You must have found
someone's special.
There is some justice in the criticism
of the light in the south end of the hall,
where the cage is under the gallery
and slightly in the shadow. 1t might
be improved.

in it.
Rockland Tribune: Polo is gaining
new admirers with the passing of each
game. People who have hitherto been
unable to stand anything more exciting
than a church circle are now regular
attendants at Elmwood hall and are
surprised to find what a remarkable
sport it is for the development of the
lungs.
Bath Enterprise: 1t is said that Scan
Ion has signed with the Rocklands in
place of O'Mally. who has been or
dered by his physician to take a rest.
The Lewiston team is a weak
one compared to the quick and crafty
Alamedas, but they have one thing in
their favor and that is good man in
the goal. The Baths have
signed Murphy. a star goal tender.
Hereafter the lineup of this team will
be: j. Mooney. first rusher; McGilvery,
second rusher; E. Mooney, center; Muir

CONNECTICUT BOUN1lsS.
Decision Rendered Declaring Unpaid Soldiers
Bounty Act Of 1895 Illegal.

Hartford CT, Jan. 11.-Judge Thayer
of the superior court, rendered d de-
csion practically declaring the unpaid
soldiers bounty act of 1895 not effective.
The act provides that all soldiers might
collect the town bounties voted during
the war irrespective of the statute of
limitations.
Sergeant George F. Bogue. Co. A,
18th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers,
sued the town of Montville to recover
$500 bounty voted by the town Aug. s,
1864, to soldiers credited to the town.
He enlisted previous to the vote being
passed, Nov. IL. 1868. The act was
passed by the General Assembly pro-
hibiting towns from voting bounties.
Judge Thayer has decided that Bogue
was not entitled to recover from the
town for the reason that the town had
no right, in August, 1864, to pass a
bounty vote contrary to the Legisla-
tive act Of 1868. The decision probably
affects several hundred claims now
pending.

MOODY AND SAM JONES.
Their Work Said to Be Harmful. BY Rev
Thomas Van Ness.

Boston. Jan. ll.-Rev. Thomas Van
Ness of the Second church, in his sermon
yesterday, criticized the work of Evan
gelist Moody and Revivalist Sam Jones
in rather forceful terms.
In the course of the sermon he treated
10th sides of the question and said that
the REVEALS. although productive of some
temporary good, were not of great per-
inanent value in bringing souls to God.
The pastor spoke of Herbert Spencer =
theory of fluctuations, Of the ribbon-like
motion Of nature, that no storm comes
not followed by q calm, and that every
calm is followed by a storm.
This truth applies to religion as well
as to nature" said Rev. Mr.. Van Ness,
land the thought occurred to me rs L
thought of the religious revivals now
being held in Boston; of the work of Mr..
Moody. the evangelist. and oil sam
Jones, the revivalist
Il think they do supply a want. The
soul cannot live on bread alone any
more than the body.
"Mr Moody reaches people, and for
the time lifts them and leads them out
from their narrow coarseness into a
broader, SIaDutT NE. IL floTs
than that Is accomplished is not some
good done?
Not being hampered by society or
some clique OF society, men like MOODY
can speak freely against the shams ami
the folIies of society. The newspapers
give much prominence to their words.
and give an added weight and influence.
But there il another side. Critics OF
this form Of religious revivals are not
altogether wrong.
"Revivalis-s take no account of hered-
itv nor of nature. They ignore the fact
that nature Never forgave sin.
The so-calied conversions are OBJ
tanned by working on the feelings of men.
After the excitement is over and things
have returned to their normal condi-
ton then temptation comes.

anyone under 20 years Of age to attend
these meetings.
The same amount of harm is done.

reports in the newspapers. as by scan
dal cases in the courts.

FULL OF INACCURACIES.
A Portland Account Of Saturday Nights Game
that Is a Wonderful Production.

Our esteemed friend who writes the
have had an off day when he fixed up
his account of Saturday nights Au-
Portland game in this city. for
it is full of inaccuracies. besides I'M
justly charging someone's plumbers to
the wrong person. For instances he
says:
The crowd yelled in glee when Referee
Barbour blew his whistle and Turner
was within Is feet of the spot before
Mr.. Barbour inflated his lungs. Even
if Turner had not got the tip Molumpy
was within 20 feet of the spot and in
readiness to take the rush.
Kid Molumpy was not on the floor
over five minutes, in the latter part of
the game, as a substitute when an
other player broke a skate. The yarn
about the rush is entirely incorrect,
though such a case did occur later in
the game.
But the Portland team as constituted
tonight, could have beaten the Au-
gusta team in the dark. or down back
of the sugar house in Portland.
Could they? Portland won on a goal
wrongly given them by the referee and
by three balls Gagged by augusta, roll
ing out of the cage.
The time of the second goal. three
seconds. has been before made in the
league, this season.
In the fourth goal Schofied realizing
the funny business that the opposing
rushers We're doing, crept up to the
spot and took the ball away from Tur-
ner. Whipple, Furbush. and Molumpy
played criss-cross with the ball until
Schofied' got it on the side and nursed
it up the rink
Notice that Portland sometimes stoops
to funny business" Also that Molumpy
is still kept in the game by the Argus
Jason got the ball and cleverly nursed
it up the rink and gave it to Jason
who Gagged it in Am, 5sec. But the
funny part of the deal was that Jason
being an Augusta player Gagged the bal
for Portland.
Notice that Jason passed the ball tt
himself and Gagged it. The fact is thai
the ball was driven high, struck the
gallery. came down onto Jason's foo
and bounded into the cage.
In the eighth goal the Portlands forced
the ball into the mouth of the Augustus
goal. Berry made a. foul in the goa
and consequently one goal was giver
to the Portlands-but they didn't neet
this goal to win.
The ball was driven between Berry!

to the left to get it away from the cage
