The Eve Of Battle.
SWASEY'S FOLLOWERS
TALK.
The Last Shots Fired.

Thomasi hall was crowded full last
night with voters, Swascy men. Gordon
men and men on the fence and one and
all were entertained by as eloquent an
exhibition of oratory as is often heard
in Barre. Most of the arguments were
after the fashion OF an attorneys closing
argument, facts were piled on facts, the
grounds already spoken of by the Swas-
ey party were thoroughly gone over
again and large part of the discourse
was devoted to refutatiOn of the state
ments recently made by Mayor Cor
don,
One point was forcibly expressed and
that was that City Attorney Swasey had
never been found fault with until the
present campaign began, that he was
appointed second time by the Mayor
and that if he was as the Mayor recently
said he was, negligent and lazy then
the Mayor did not do his duty in not
"bouncing" him.
The first speaker of the evening was
Frank j. Martin. His talk showed a
thorough knowledge Of the facts in the
case and his eloquent speech has not in
our opinion yet been excclled by any
Barre man. Mr.. Martin brought out
a long chain of facts and backed them
up by documents. He read letter
written by the Mayor to j. W. McDon-
aid and published in the Times. lie
then read the Auditors recent report
and incidentally stated that every often
we read in the Times that which is not
all truth This, strange as it may seem
brought great applause from the audi
ence, but Mr.. Martin has a very sarcastic
manner of saying things when occasion
requires.
The next speaker was Ex-Nlayor +.
l.. Smith and his argument was very
convincing one. Mr.. Smith off set the
statements made against HIM by the
Mayor and defended Mr.. Swasey and
argued against the "pay as you go
policy
George Basset was then called upon
and he stated a series of reasons why he
intended to vote for Mr.. Swasey. His
remarks were confined largely to the
defense of the charges against Swasey
and a rehearsal of the bearing of the
'pay as you go policy on the present
election. '7
s, Pallavicini was next called upon
aud in a few words stated in the English
language that he and his people desired
a change in the Mayoralty. That the
present Mayor had broken up meeting
Of free citizens and that his people hac
been abused by that party. He laid
much stress upon the fact that the Italian
vote could not be bought, that they arc
new citizens and to try to corrupt then
is wrong, He then addressed the audi
encc in his own language receiving
great applause from his countrymcn.
Mr.. Swasey then took the plat
form and in an exhaustive discus
sion of the situation once more stateC
the principles of his platform and re
hearsed the whole matter having before
the voters the whole long list OF fact
a~ upheld by his faction and thus Il"
campaign Of 1899 was brought to a close

NEW YORK, Dec. PA special to

tanned the horrible device OF bamboo
posts set firmly In the hole and sharp

pallng the unwary. The American
troops have frequently found such
traps ON the line Of march, and cspe-
clally in front of lnsurgent trenches, but
Instances have been extremely rare in
which the bamboo stakes were discover
ed. Ordinarily the traps have simply
been deep holes in the jungle, covered
with long grass, and although soldiers
have frequently fallen Into them, no
serious Injury has resulted. On Octo-

THE MANITOWOC BOILER WORKS

Mention was made last week of the ar

Halloran whereby the present site of the
St Charles hotel would be vacated so
that the work on the new building con-
tamplated by Mr. Hess maybe begun at
once. The lots east of the st. Charles
are being put in readiness this week for

cupied by the Boiler works, on the cor

barn for the hotel Assoon Rs the lots
are in readiness the hotel will be moved
and the work will be begun at once on

Franklin to Quay and will be 75xl75. A
large electric travelling crane will be put

tons capacity. A large set of bending
rolls will be put in capable of bend
ing one and one-fourth inch plate.
| When this building is completed and
equipped as is planned it will be one of
the finest plants III the state. The num-
Der of orders and the character of the
work made enlargement almost a neces
sity. As Mr.. Hess says, he has refused
more orders than he has done work,
simply for lack of room and proper facil-
| tiles Should business increase in the
future as it has in the past q full block

THE CONCERT.

The concert given under the auspices
Of ST Margaret's Guild drew out very
fine audience both in numbers and in ap-
probation of musical excellence. The
chief attraction was Mr.. Blatchford
Kavanagh who had won fame as a sing
er while a choir boy. His voice has
more sweetness than volume as if it was
his nature to absorb beauty and not en-
ter into eager search for it. There is a
tenderness in his voice which is touching
to degree of sympathetic sadness
There is no outburst Of melody leading
to ecstasy. His voice touches only TIE
calm depths of dreamy susceptibility,
producing a sensation of content with a
touch Of melancholy to separate it from
the commonplace. There was pathetic
retrospect of life in the 'Old Kentucky
Home" under the charm OF his rendition.
Mr. Kavanagh is not great singer.
He lacks vigor and inspiration. He
sings as if prompted by introspection
and as if his range was limited by his
emotions.
Master Arthur Goff appeared to good
advantage in Bonnie Scotland. Mrs
Packard did not seem to get i'll sympa'
thy with the audience Little Jamie
Crippin has clear, sweet voice, but il
is wholly mechanical in singing. The
little child would find it more conducive
TO his future welfare 10 be in bed than
before an audience who impose encores
upon him more because of his diminu
tive stature than the excellence Of his
singing.
