THE ALDERMEN'S MEETING.
The Usual Saturday Evening Meeting Not a
Very Lively One.

There will be many interesting things
discussed at the coming meeting of the
city government. Thursday evening, as
il will be the time when many com
mittees will be ready to report. Be
side all these reports there are few
matters on the table that will doubt
less be taken up and talked over previ-
Gus to being passed on their way or re-
modelled.
The meeting of the aldermen, Satur-
day evening, was not of long duration.
nor was it prolific of much business.
The mayor and aldermen, as was their
intention at the start, talked over the
matters that are of vital Importance
TO the city. and set each other to think
ing of something new.
Colonel f. c. Stevens. the State
superintendent of public buildings. sent
in a communication calling to mind the
fact that from the present standpipe
on Western avenue it is difficult for
the sprinkler to do efficient service in
sprinkling about the State grounds.
This was referred to the committee on
highways.
A communication was read from
Charles Sylvester offering to haul stone
to the East side crusher on Murray
street for 80 cents a yard, or to let the
crusher be set on his quarry on cOndi-
tons somewhat similar to those that
are offered by J. A. Savage. This was
not acted upon and the highway COM
mittee still have in hand the matter of
the East side crusher. and have held
two or three meetings relative to it,
They will doubtless report. Thursday
evening.
A letter was read from Winthrop Of
icials to the chief engineer of the Au-
yusta fire department. Winthrop wish

extension ladders which are to be kept
at certain points on Water street, to

At , O'Clock Sunday afternoon, Rev
DR. Penney passed quietly away in this
city. ltwas known to his many friends
that his health had been in critical
condition for some weeks. yet his
death came as a shock to all. For
years victim of insidious disease his
suffering had greatly increased, during
the past winter months, until death re-
leased him from further pain. The end
| came peacefully and without a strug-
gle, consciousness being retained till
near the last moment.
Charles Fox Penney was born in New
Gloucester, Me. May 10. 1882. His par
ents We're Ephraim and Patience II.
tStlnchfeldD Penney. His early life
was spent on the homestead and in the
ordinary routine Of farm work. When
Is years of age his mother died, but the
influence of her life proved potent
factor in deciding his future course.
While his early educational advantages
were meagre and primitive he develop
ed taste for reading which was
greatly stimulated ny a small circula-
ting town library.
At the age Of Is he became a Christ
ian, was baptized and united with the
Free Baptist church in New Glouces-
ter. He prepared for college at New
Hampton. y. H.. and al Lewiston. Me.
and graduated from BoWdoin College
in the class Of 1860. together with the
late DR.. j. f. Phillips, missionary to
India. Speaker Thomas b. Reed. Judge
SymOnds Of Portland. and w. w.
Thomas, Jr., minister to Norway and
Sweden His college graduation part
was a literary disquisition and was re-
garded by impartial judges as the
first part in the class and was other
wise denominated rare perfumed.
In 1862, he was graduated from the
Divinity school a New Hampton. y.
H. and entered upon the pastorate Of
the Free Baptist church in Augusta. in
August Of the same year. For II years
he held the pastorate of the State
Street Free Baptist church. during
which time 436 persons We're received
into membership. 3i6 BY baptism. The
church prospered under his wise ana
efficient labors. becoming one Of the
leading churches in the city. Ill health
made his resignation a necessity. He
retired to Vinalhaven. supplying a
church in the meantime, where he
slowly improved in health.
In the summer of 1887, he accepted
q call to the Oakland, Cal. Free Bap-
fist church, hoping that a change in
climate might result in still further inn
proving his health. Here he Iabored
till June. 1890. when his health made
his resignation again necessary ana
with his family he returned to Maine.
During his pastorate there 80 were add
ed to the church.

! Baptist church Of Auburn. for
| months, during the absence Of the pas
ton. in April 1891. he accepted a call
to his old church in Augusta. contnu-
ing till November, 1893. when he re-
signed to accept a call to the Auburn
Free Baptist church. During his pas
torate Of nearly years at Auburn over
so were added to the church.
During his lay pastorate in Augusta,
he served for IS successive years ag
chaplain of the Maine State Insane
hospital. For u years he was a mem
! Der OF the school committee and board
! of directors of the schools Of Augusta
! and for several years acted as chair
man OF both boards.
He was for many years an editorial
! contributor to the Morning Star and
Free Baptist, leading religious papers
of the denomination. For nearly %
years he was a member of the board
of corporators of The Morning Star and
served many years as a member Of the
Free Baptist Home Mission and Edu-
cational Boards. AT the time Of his
death he was member of the board
OF oVerseers Of Bates college and a
trustee of Maine Central institute.
In June. 1884, he received the degree
of d. ID. from Bates college. During
his ministry he solemnized nearly 500
marriages, conducted not less than 500
funerals and baptized 800 persons.
After his resignation of the Court
Street Free Baptist church in Auburn.
he again supplied the pulpit Of the
State Street Free Baptist church of
this city, till the church called its pres
ent pastor. in June 1898, after which he
supplied when health would permit,
various churches in the State. being al
most constantly in demand.
DR.. Penney was greatly beloved not
only in his own church, but by people
of all classes without regard to denomi-
national preference. His ability and
originality as a preacher was marked,
making him one of the leading preach
ers in the State and i'll his denomina-
ton.
DR.. Penney was twice married. His
first marriage was July 20. 1862, to
Angie Lewis Of Boothbay. Me, who
died in Augusta. July Il. 1881 leaving
two children, Alice H., now Mrs. Fred
G.. kinsman, and Chas. T. Penney, both
of this city. on March IL. 1884. he was
again united in marriage to F. Ella
Wharf of Bangor one son being born
to them. Paul Stinchfield. These three
children. together with Mrs. Penney
survive him.
The funeral will occur at the State
Street Free Baptist church. Tuesday.
May 9, at 100 p. NJ. conducted by
Dean Howe Of Lewiston. assisted by
his pastor. Rev. Everett Lesher. Inter
ment will be at Mt Pleasant cemetery

mcnded that the matter be investi-
gated more fully before the work is
done He explained that the sidewalk
and should be set over to the west
ana in case the repairs are
made he suggested that they be made
on the line Of the street. He said the
Electric railroad is toward the middle
Of the street ana the street. which is
not graded. can be a great deal wider
than it is at present. No action was
taken as the municipal officers wish to
have this discussed at the regular
meeting when the common council is
present.
Some Of the members of the city gov
eminent are of the impression there
should be a regularly established sys-
TEN of sewers begun, this year. and
whether the following city government
carry out the idea or not, to let it be
said that they did what they thought
was the best for the city at the time.
The present committee on sewers find
that by putting in the sewer by piece
meals, as they say, it has been done
up to last year. only the street in mind,
is accommodated and no grades are
made for the accommodation of other
people. 1t seems that there was a sys-
TEN suggested. several years ago, of an
entire sewer system in Augusta. and it
is proposed to utilize these plans in the
present project, should it be decided
to undertake the reorganization. Some
believe it would be cheaper in the end
and would be much better. while others
are looking the matter over and think
ing of it before coming to any decision.
There is growing impression among
the aldermen that the sewer and SAM
tary departments should be under a
system, so that to make a change in
any sewer fixture, it must be with the
consent OF the sewer committee or the
whole city government. 1t is COM
planned that in years past whenever
the sanitary department has thought
of a change that is necessary in a trap
any of the city sewers, it has been
done at once. In the same way when
ever the street commissioners have
thought it necessary to change catch
basin by building it higher of other
wise changing it, they have done SO.
In this way The two changes often con-
hict and the purpose for which the ba-
sin or whatever it is, was intended, is
entirely changed.
A matter that is likely to be brought
up again, Thursday night, at the city
government meeting is a purchasing
agent. or one who will give the order
for the purchase of all goods for the
city.

playing good ball when the Auburn
rooters took the game into it's own
hands and succeeded in downing the
visitors. Even the Auburn manager
admitted that he never saw a dirtier
exhibition than the manner in which
me Augusta players We're used. The
crowd was allowed to gather around
the hatsman and besides kissing and
otherwise trying to rattle him. they
threw missiles at him. When the Cony
team was in the field the crowd was al
lowed to go upon the diamond. and one
man tripped Murphy when he was af-
ter a foul fly. 1t was a dirty exhibit
ton, a disgrace to the city, and better
treatment was expected of Auburn.
The Lewiston players were loud in
their condemnation Of Auburn's dirty
work and indeed it seemed a great con-
trast after the clean treatment in Lew
iston. Cony made Is hits to by Au-
burn. The fielding Of Cony was much
the better Of the two.
