PREPARING FOR A CAMPAIGN.

1Sc11n Bgnnfa1eid, Sept. ase-The lead
eFssdns<he French rebellion have no in
sa1eion OF betting it die out, as die it
n1usA in time. even if it dies harder
than the osSS1ed man. Their enthu-.
Eiasm IS as determined as ever, and
they will soon. If they carry through
the~p}ans they are making, have set
themselves up in a position from
which itwaf be harder to recede than
it is from the station they now oc-
pupy in the seTes~of the world.
In other words, Rev. Jean Berger Is
to have a permanent home here, and
today members Of the COMMITTEES met
to discuss plans. They have already
selected the house which Is to be the
North BrookAeld home of Rev, Jean
Berger, and as soon as It Is ready for
occupancy, the suspended priest will
leave the EheRfzrang roof Of Nelson Le-
doux and go to his new home.
That the French leaders would really
go to such an extent as this, was not
believed by many people, but now al
most any unprecedented development is
expected in this chapter of sensations,
on the last act of which the curtain
has just risen. The mysterious priest
who claims to be a good child of the
church of Rome, and yet refuses to obey
its mandates, has gone to New York
to procure his full set of priestly gar
ments and equipments.
He made an attempt to fool the pub
lie as to his intended Journey, striving
TO leave town surreptitiously by being
driven to the Bower end of Gilbert street
on the outskirts of the town, before he
boarded an electric car. He was driven
down by Joseph st. Andre, and carried
as he boarded the car large extension
Valise. He left here about O'Clock
with the intention of taking a train
at West Bpookfield at 1925 O'clock.
When he comes back. he will be full
ly equipped with all the necessary uten-
slls for performing all the functions Of
the church. During his absence, the
committee will make arrangements for
ntting up the house which is to be his
resauence. He is expected to return
Thursday evening.
Last night Rev. Jean Berger baptized
a child and tonight he was to baptize
the 1-aaoztfs-old child of Adlor Lee
doux, but AEr. Ledoux was doomed to
disappointment by FIR Bergers depart
ure.
In court tfxs-morning Raphael Huard
appeared before Trial Justice Sylvan
der BothEea as the result of the row
In which he figured yesterday and on
account of which he was arrested. John
Thuotte, who was engaged in the fracas
with Huard, appeared as q witness and
testified that Huard assaulted him and
THAI he held Huards hands to save
himself: also thar he called for some
one to hold Huard while he was getting
away. as he did not want to be a par.
ttciparEt IN any row. After hearing
the evidence, Justice Boutwell, decided
that Huard YEAS the only party to
blame and sentenced HIM to pay a fine
of $40.
Ths.suspension which was announced
officially yesterday seems to have had
absolutely no effect upon the dissent
ers, unless perchance 1t was to make
them more bind and unreasoning than
ever. They have not, so it is reported,
decided to start the erection of a new
church building immediately. Instead
the plan Of hiring the old Union
Church building for the winter is be-
ing considered. The building is CEN
trally located, and is amply commodi-
GUS and would answer The requirements
nicely II it can be secured.
In spite Of the report that the French
people VIII not build a church at pres
ent, bids have been submitted by Con-
tractor William Fullam and contract
ors in Spencer, Warren and other
places.
William Walsh, chairman of the over
seerH Of the poor, has received a letter
from the Massachusetts managers for
the Paris exposition in regard to fur
nish1ng Information as to the standing
OF the town farm. The communication
states that information as to how des-
titute people are cared for is wanted
from three such institutions and that
North Brookfield is one of the places
selected by the board of managers as
model to base their calculations on.
Mr.. Walsh Is asked to answer several
questions about the institution. which
favor he will be pleased to grant. as he
considers North Brookheld the equal of
any town in the country in caring for
its poor
The jolly party OF hunters and fisher
men who have been enjoying life all

away, broke camp yesterday The last
day at the lake was celebrated with a

Friday, the opening day of the season.
John De Forge Of North Adams was
in town yesterday looking for his wife
who left him, he says, on Feb. II, with
out any cause, except her own wllful
ways. Readers of The Spy will remern-
Der that DE Forge thought for time
that his wife was the victim of thc.

weeks ago threw spell Of horror over
