MASS MEETING AT MONROE.
The People Protest Against AbolishinG
the Dispensary and Returning to OpeI
Bar Rooms.

Bar Rooms.
Monroe, n c., Jan. 10.-(Special.)--
The good people of Monroe learned a few
days ago that petitions were being circu-
lated III Union county to be presented to
the Legislature asking for the repeal of
the dispensary i'll favor of open bar
rooms. The writer learns that in the
Democratic caucus in the last campaign
4 was distinctly understood that the
present laws regulating the wills
key traffic would not be disturbed; hence
the good people feel that they are be-
ing outraged At the morning service in
the respective churches, announcements
We're made for temperance mass meet
ing to be held in the Methodist church
at D. m At the appointed hour the
large church was crowded with one of
the finest looking and most intelligent
audiences that has ever assembled in the
town of Monroe.
Capt G. V. Meredith was called to the
chair, a hymn was sung, prayer was of
fered by Rev. w. n. Bagby and solo
was impressively rendered by Mrs. Frank
Laney entitled My Boy Was Ruined
by Rum"
The following made short but telling
addresses: w. II. Phifer, Frank Ash
craft. H B. Adams and Revs. VIM.
Black, Fl. \. Dixon, Croxton and ". \.
Bagby At the close of the discussion
the following resolution was unanimously
adopted by rising vote:
r Resolved That we are uncompromis-
ingly and Internationally opposed to the
opening of bar-rooms in Monroe, and
p edge ourselves to use all proper means
in our power to prevent the same and
appeal to all good men and women to
un;te with us in an effort to stop this
most iniauitous and stupendous evil; we
do further appeal to and hereby petition
our representatives at Raleigh to prevent
such legislation, and request that our
LEGISLATORS shall cause to- be passed any
legislation that may be necessary to make
the present law more effective"
Could our representatives in Raleigh
have looked upon this impressive scene
not one of them would think of offering
a bin to open bar-rooms in our town.
The following were appointed on an
executive committee: +. G. Ashcraft,
]. Fl. Lee, w. III. Phifer j. w. Belk,
Randolph Redfern and Captain G. V.
Meredith.
The good women of Monroe have been
holding daily prayer meetings and earn
estly praying that this, the greatest of all
curses the open bar, may not again
come to Monroe: and it shall not come.
We feel proud of the present body
in our legislative halls. They are good
men and will respect the wishes of the
majority of our best and most intelli-
gent people.

A MEMORY.

I'm thinking of her face; / know
That on this day of days she stands
With clasped and reverential hands
There. where she worshipped long ago.
Each little grief to heaven she tells
SANITY, within the Sainted place;
The same uplifted. beauteous face
The heart that thrills to hear the bells.
Simple and true No earthly loss
But hath its heavenly healing sweet;
And asking when the rude storms beat,
Only to kngel and kiss the cross.
No wish for wealth. or fame-cr0wned
years
For earth's far splendors and delights.
She knew the stars above the heights
Streamed though mist of human tears.
Is she not happy? Better So
TO live life of calm content
Under cloudless armament,
Than all earth's mysteries to know.
What doth she dream of storm and strife,
OF grief that Iasteth evermore?
One path leads from her mothers door
Into a simple, sweeter life.
4 here are the lilies. loved of God;
There are tne violets; there the Spring
In blossoms lures her birds to sing,
And gives the color to the clOd.
And what have [? And what may be
The end of any fancied fame?
A little light around a name
OF one who lives in memory!
O sweet. remembered soul. thy fate
Is kindier. Let the glamour go!
Thou knowest all that thou wouldst
know:
Peace. and the roses at thy gate.
The cruel world would tramplp down
Thy truth, thy innocence and trust:
Keep thou that faith that God is Just:
Ours Is the cross and fhinn the c1.nrrr,

HIS SECOND ATTEMPT.

He inquired the hour ard later opened

he had. ut that hour. made an attempt
upon his life, but was interrupted by the
early discovery Of the escaping gas An
drews did not leave his room during the
day, and about 4 o'clock the chamber
maid again complained that gas was es-

room. This time Porter Newton Sim
mons was called and the door to the
room WIS broken in. The young man
was lying partly on the bed and partly
on the floor. and was unconscious. When
the room door waS opened the volume
OF gas was so great that for several
moments no one dared to enter The
bed had been moved to the wall and
the head placed directly beneath the
single gas jet, which was turned on full.
The cracks about the windows and
doors had been stuffed with newspaper
and the keyhole was also plugged up.

and was. in all probability. the means
of saving his life. Everything had an
parently been arranged with the great
est care. His overcoat was folded
the bureau. and upon it was an ad.
dressed and stamped envelope which, il
is believed, contained a final message to
some friends or relatives. After An
drews revived he requested that the let
ter be mailed, which was done hy tire

ing taken of the addressee.
Upon discovering Andrews PROSTATE

| moned. Andrews was driven rapidly TO
| the hospital and placed on .he operating
table, being given hyp0tlermc iniec-
ton, and artificial respiration was kept
up until he regain ad consciousness.
CLAIMED IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Andrews was placed in bed, and the
surgeons say he will be all right in a day
or, two. He denied that he had at
tempted his life, saying that the gas
had been turned on by accident. This.
however, is not believed, as every fact
would Indicate that he had made prep
arations to die. When questioned as to
his name and address. he admitted that
name, telling the surgeons that his Fight
name was Andrews and that he had
worked as journalist en- various New
York newspapers.
When taken to the hospital Andrews
pulse movement was not perceptible, and
the surgeons say that he had inhaled Il
large amount of the gas. 1t is believed
that his failure to stop up the chimney
hoe accounts for his escape from death,
as this opening permitted large volume
of the gas to pass out of the room, but
it is certain that the mans attempt on
his lie would have been successful had
the discovery been delayed several min
utes longer
The first request Andrews made upon
recovering consciousness was that the
letter found in his room be mailed. This
was done by one of the hospital sur
geOns. who says he did not notice to
whom it was addressed. 1t is the opin-
ion of the police that Andrews wrote
this letter in contemplation of his deed,
and in all probability it contained an
explanation for his rash act.
