friends. They tried to secure the
company for some other date, but
were unsuccessful as the collegians
and could not make satisfactory agree
ments for any other time.
The Citizens club did not meet this
evening as It was expected that it
would do. The meeting was postponed
until $50 o'clock Saturday evening.
Nathaniel H. Foster, the president of
the club, stated last night that the sell
ectmen had refused to attend the meet
ing, as they had been invited to do.
The meeting is called for the purpose of
discussing the blunder that was
brought to light in the recently issued
town reports. by which the town was
the loser to the extent of $500, as exclu- |
sively announced in The Spy. The ac-
ton of the selectmen is taken to mean
that they do not care to discuss the
matter, land refuse to sanction its pub
lie discussion by the club. This is like |
" to cause considerable excitement in |
the town and may precipitate good
sized row.
Alexander Peacock was drawn as
iuryman this evening to serve at the |
March term of the superior judicial !
court.
