hom0M HI. and Mrs. Mccartney,


ur. and Mrs. ]. r. McCortney gave
an elaborate reception and dance at
their home on South Front street last
evening In compliment to Miss OKane,
q Auburn, N. Y. who is guest of
Vneir daughter, Miss Edna. The affair
aiso marked the debut Of Miss Edna. A
large number of invitations were issued
ana over one hundred guests were pres
ent. The AFFAIR was elaborate in all its
appointments. and one of the notable
SOCIAL entertainments Of the season.
The handsome residence of Mr.. and
MRS. McCortney was brilliantly light
ed by electricity, and the myriads of
Japanese lanterns on the lawn sur
rounding the house gave an added
charm. The decorations were made by
e Plttsburg florist. There was a wealth
or cut and ported flowers, and palms
and exotics were judiciously placed in
The Railways and different rooms. The
general effect was extremely artistic.
There were rows.of lanterns about the
handsome lawn, with a number of
shady hooks inviting tete-a-tetes. The
decorations on the river front were
particularly attractive.
The hours of the reception were from
eight until $50 o'clock, during which
time steady procession of carriages
stopped at the entrance to the grounds.
The guests were received by Mr..
and Mrs. McCortney, and Misses
McCortney, C'Kane, Bates, Bryant,
Dalzell, Jepson and Pollock. The sweet
strains of the Opera House Orchestra,
which was partially concealed behind
a row of palms, foated through the
rooms. When the first number upon
the dance programme was rendered
there was general participation by
the guests, the GOODNESS of the evening
augmenting the enjoyment of this di-
version. During the evening defect
able reflections were served to the
guests.
The decorations in the parlor and
dining room were of patriotic design.
Under the ceiling of the dining room
was magnificent silk American flag,
and bunting was suspended from the
walls. The mantels in the parlor were
banked with cut flowers. In one cor
ner of the room was very unique
"cozy corner" of Oriental design, in
which the receiving party stood. y

FIRE AT BARRE.
Granite Works of Mackie. Hussey a.
Company Destroyed.


The immense granite manufacture
ing plant OF Mackie, Hussey & Com
pany, probably the largest works of
the kind in the country, was burned
last week Monday night. The fire
started near the boiler and gained
such Roadway that the firemeh were
powerless to check the flames. In
less than an hour the main building
was heap of ruins. A large amount
of costly machinery, derricks and
monumental work in process OF con-
struction are total loss. Seventy five
men are thrown out of employment
by the fire, each losing set of tools
valued at S25. The big boiler was
badly damaged and it is thought may
not be in a condition to warrant re-
pairs.
The total loss is estimated at $780,
600 and the insurance amounts to
$4,000. The origin of the fire is not
known, although it is thought il was
caused by sparks from the boiler

1t was decided to go ahead with the
Chronicle in some way; also to seek a
closer union with other churches, es-
pecially in missionary work. Topics
OF great interest were discussed at the
afternoon session. The following

The Read people asserted with pos
itiveness at first that Gen. Grout abso-
lutely promised two years ago not to
be candidate this year. Proof being
demanded, two members of the dis
trict committee finally stated over
their signatures that what Gen. Grout
said was that if the district wanted
another representative this year he
was perfectly willing to step down and
out. This is very far short of a prom
Use not TO be candidate. Gen. Grout
says he never made sIch pledge and
the majority of the district committee
corroberate him.

No observer OF the late Congress.
sional contest could fail to note that
the Ratchet is not buried between the
Grout and Stickney factions of two
years ago. Nine ont of every ten Re
publicans voted for or against Gen.
Grout as they voted for or against
Josiah Grout in '96. The remaining
tenth raised the only element of doubt
that was in the canvass. For the we'll
fare of the party it is to be hoped that
this unreasonable prejudice will not
longer survive. Give us something
other than a name to conjure by or to
provoke opposition.

In all fairness it must be said that
the Read forces put up gallant fight
against great odds. The sentiment OF
the district early was that Judge Read
stood no chance of success. and this OF
itself must have been discourage
ment. To overcome it required a
great deal OF hard work. Gen. CIRCUITS
fences were considered to be in ex-
cellent repair. but the closeness of the
contest proved that his prestige is on
the wane In his long official career
he has made enemies as well as
friends. Enmity is quite often more
inspiriting on the one side than graft
tude on the other. 1t was not hard to
find in most every town rallying
point for the Read forces among dis
appointed Office seekers and their
friends. Somehow sentiment upholds
resentment in such cases. but frowns
when Office holders take a hand. For
our part we cannot see why it is not
as justifiable for an Office holder to
work for the man by whose assistance
or favor he was promoted as for a dis
rival to work against him.
Yet in one case it is termed offensive
partisanship- and possibly cause for
removal. while in the other it is re-
garded as quite the natural thing. This
was one of the weaknesses in Gen.
Grout's canvass. Not only recent. but
old sores were opened up These were
shrewdly turned by the Read workers
.of whom he had not a few energetic
ones-to the service ofthe Rockingham
man. Looking forward from this bat
tlefield to the next. it is not too much
to predict that Gen. Grout viii find
great difficulty in retaining his seat in
Congress. if such shall be his desire.
The showing Judge Read has made
may encourage other aspirants, by
pointing ont that Grout is not 50 near
nyincible as 1t has sometimes seemed.
