MARLBORO'S WOE.
New Year at Present Holds
Little Promise.

Marlboro, Jan. with feelings of
sadness mingled with a desire to read
the future, the people of Marlboro
greets the new year. The good people
of this thriving city feel particularly
sad because the word has gone forth
throughout the world that Marlboro is
in state of anarchy.
Many visitors to this city are sur
prlsed to see quietness and order reign
ing supreme. They expected that because
the state police were sent here to see

other way to do but to call upon the
state to furnish the necessary safe
guard for life and property.
There are many who regard the COM
ing OF the state men with feelings of
aversion. They argue that Marlboro is
a peaceable city, that the scenes of last
week were not as bad as they have been
IN other Massachusetts, places while
strikes were in progress, and that the

The shoe workers will hold a mass
meeting the early part of the week and
expect to have Samuel Gompers, presi-

factories in the greatest numbers.

strong in their desires to fight the

Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, the repre-
sentative of the socialist labor party
IS still in the city, and delivers lectures
every night in Liberty hall. After her
encounter with mob violence last Tues
day evening, her path has been combar-
atfvely easy, and her talks are not in
terrupted.
The greatest interest is manifested
IN the new city government which
comes into power tomorrow. The inau-
guration of Mayor Plunkett will take
place at o'clock, and the exercises in
connection herewith will be largely at
tended. City Solicitor Mcdonald will
administer the oath of office, and Rev.
t. J. Fahey will offer prayer Among
those who will be present are the ex-
mayors, the retiring city government

The newly elected aldermen and com
mon council will qualify, adjourn to
their respective chambers, and organ

The democratic and citizens working
mems members of the incoming city
government had a tete-tete this after
noon. Despite all rumorS to the con-
trary. no radical changes were deter
mined upon. 1t can be stated, however,
that one of the results of the meeting
will be seen tomorrow, in the election
of Daniel Warren as chairman of the
board Of aldermen.
Mr.. Warren is one of the lasters out
on strike, and is 81 years of age. He has
served two years in the common coun-

Today the mayor elect himself had

A prominent feature of the Inaugural
ton ceremonies will be the reception
and ball which will be rendered Mavor
Plunkett in the evening. The event will
take place in the city hall. The COM
mittee of arrangements are making
every effort to make the affair a sue
cess. The hall has already been hand
somely decorated for the occasion by
Raymond Kennedy. Harry E. Brig
ham orchestra will furnish music.
This afternoon the cases of Charles
Mooney and Frank Coughlin, the two
young men charged with intimidation.
will come up before Judge Mcdonald.
Several others will probably be brought
into court to answer the same charge.
When Mooney and Coughlin were ar
rested, Friday night, warrants were
given the local police to serve upon
others charged with the same offense.
The men wanted could not be found at
the time, but there is no difficulty an
