HARD PROBLEMS.
Spencer Selectmen
Have Too Many
Candidates.
THREE QUESTIONS.
Licenses, Police, Fire En-
gineers viii Keep Board
Awake Nights,

Spencer, April 13.-The selectmen this
brought before any board, that OF
granting seven licenses out of IL ap-
plications; two night watchmen out of
large field of applicants, and three
| fire engineers from eight candidates.
Twelve men had applied for liquor IL
censes at o'clock this evening, the
time when all applications had to be
| in.
Judge Curtis was puzzled today when
two of the applicants, Sullivan and Ar
seneault, gave the same number for
their buildings. The Judge proceeded
to the places and at last made out the
! respective numbers for each building.
The u men who applied for licenses
are: Elzear Demars, first and fourth
class; Napoleon Cabana, first and
fourth-class; Louis Snay, first ard
fourth-class; Thomas N Guertin &
Company, first and fourth class; Ma
poleon Arseneault, first and fourth
class; Charles B. Carpenter, druggist
license, siXth-class; Edward P. MI
eau and Company, first and fourth
class; Timothy Nanamara and Com
pany, first and fourth-class; Daniel
Paul, first and fourth-class; William
Parks, first and fourth-class, and Geo.
S. Rich. first and fourth-class.
OF this number, the new applicants
for licenses are Daniel Paul, Napoleon
Arseneault, Edward P. Moreau &
Company, and George S. Rich. The il
censes will have to be advertised for
ten days i'll local newspaper and the
places inspected before granting the
licenses, and it will probably be the
last week of this month before the pub
lie knows who the lucky men are.
OF the applicants, T. N. Guertin and
William Parks run hotels, and Louis
Snay's place is being fitted up for
one.
AS to the night police, every able
bodied man is willing to take posi-
tion, but The chances are that the mei.
who will be appointed are some vino
have had experience.
Only one petition has been seen, that
OF Pierce Graveline, but considerable
hustling is being done by the friends
of the different candidates.
The fire engineers will be another
hard problem for the selectmen to de-
eide on account of the popularity of the
men mentioned.
Chief De Wolfe increased his chance
for reelection considerably by his
prompt and effective services at the
last nre, at Jones d Co.'S boot and shoe
shop.
By the majority of the people, the
hatchet is expected to be used by the
selectmen this year in the different
things which they will have to SETTLE
A full dress rehearsal of the Con
federate Spy was held this evening at
the town hall. The play will be given
tomorrow evening. William Ratigan,
as officer Mulgarry, one of the finest,
the favorite tenor singer, will sing an
up-to-date Irish song. Mrs. Charles L.
Haynes will render soprano solos be-
tween the acts.
Michael Manning who had his head
split open with a circular saw twelve
weeks ago, was in town today for the
first time since he was hurt. When
seen by The Spy man today he seemed
as jolly as If nothing had ever hap
pened, although at the time of the ac-
cident but little hope was entertained
for his recovery.
James Kelly Of the Spencer bottling
works has almost completed arrange
ments for the removal of his business
to Worcester.
