Spencer. Dec. 2.-Rev. f. A. Thomas
of the First Baptist Church, at meet
ing of the Protestant churches of
Spencer held in the First Congrega-
tional Chursh, Sunday night, adj
dressed the large congregation in the
first temperance rally of the campaign.
Mr.. Thomas scored the open saloon and
the town politicians. Whether he
meant the town officers or the represen-
tatives to the legislature is hard to say,
but he spared no one in firing the open
ing gun of the campaign against the
selling of liquor in the town of Spencer.
The church was well filed and the
audience appreciated the wit and
humor of the speaker, and many times
during the meeting there was laughter
and only the fact that the congrega-
ton was gathered in the house of God
prevented applause.
The speaker laid bare the dangers of
the open saloon and the ruin it has
wrought in the town of Spencer.
He compared the towns in the years
there was no open saloon in Spencer
and the years there has been license,
namely this year of 1901.
Last year there were more than 200
people who did not vote on the license
question and hence the result. This
year all will be changed he thinks and
it has been confidently asserted that
every one of those 200 voters will be at
the polls and it is hoped they will vote
against the open saloon.
The rally was held under the au-
spices of the w c. r. L. and at the
instigatiOn of Mrs. Sarah Parmenter.

Is Spencer on the verge of a water
famine? The question is being asked
by every resident of the town, and is a
hard one to answer Today the water
question in Spencer has assumed a
more serious aspect than it has at any
time since the residents of Upper Main
Street have been without water. Yes
| terday there was but three inches Of
water in Shaw Pond above the main
| pipe. What the result will be if the dry
weather keeps up is hard to tell, but
one thing is sure, Spencer will soon
have to look to some other source than
Shaw Pond for water.
Today the water commissioners be-
gan the work of installing the steam
pump at Shaw Pond. The pump will
be put in working order and started as
soon as possible. Then the water COM
missioners expect to be able to force
enough water into the main pipe to
supply the town of Spencer with water
for a time at least. AT Shaw Pond at
the present time there is stone tank
or mouth to the main pipe The idea of
the commissioners is to pump the
water from the centre of the pond to
the mouth of the pipe. Then they ex-
pect that there will be pressure enough
from natural sources to force the water
to the town.
The pump the commissioners are
putting in at Shaw Pond has a capac-
lily of forcing water into the main at
the rate of 1900 gallons a minute.
There has been much talk about town
Of appropriating the water of Whitti-
more Pond for water purposes
At the present time the water privi-
leges of Whittimore Pond are con-
trolled by the mill owners of Spencer.
For this reason there is some hesita-
ton as to the plan being a feasible one.
Many believe Shaw Pond will have to
be abandoned if not now within a year
from now and all are of the opinion
that the town will have to fall back
on Whittimore Pond for It's water sup
Iply. The pond in question is fully as
/ large as Shaw Pond and is fed by
springs that are not effected by dry
weather. 1t is surrounded on one side
by the Spencer public park. Pipes could
he laid to the pond through the park
and thus the expense of buying land
privileges would be lessened. The mill
owners of the town are strongly OPP
posed to this plan and would surely
fight hard against it.
It would be necessary to buy water
privileges and everything considered it
has been estimated that it would cost
the town $4,000 if they changed their
present water system.

UXBRIDGE

Tuesday afternoon the Ladies' Be-
nevoent Society of the Congregational
Church will give a silver tea party at
the residence of Mrs. w. L. Johnson of
North Main Street. A Japanese gar
den will be fitted up in the east parlor,
and tea will be served by young ladies
dressed in Japanese costumes. Fancy
articles, cake, jellies, etc, will be on

and will have to be dug out in some
places before the cars are started. Ac-
cording to a director of the road the

The question as to who will be the
next deputy sheriff is exciting no small
interest in political circles, and the
name of the successful candidate grows
more doubtful as the time of appoint
ment approaches. The two candidates
up to a few days ago were Edmund O.
Bacon, the present holder of the posi-
ton who is a candidate for reappoint-
ment and George T. Hobbs, in favor of
whom a petition has been circulated
for appointment Work has been going
on for some time for both parties, but
it is said another candidate has stepped
in the field without a petition. Edwin

Republican and Sons of Veterans cir
Giles throughout the state, is the per-

tie will be the compromise candidate

Clifton Era: About l; 30 a. m. Mon- day, Morencis camp, was shaken by a tremendous explosion, which occurred on the northeast hill of the camp, popularly known as the Italian quar- ter. Those who hurried to the scene found that the house of one Pe.uso had been blown to pieces, and one of the inmates, Giovanri Peluso, had been instantly killed by the explosion. Several houses round about were badly wrecked and fragments were hurled all over that part of the camp. That more were not killed seems a miracle, for the owner of the house with his wife and child were within at the time. These were protected from injEre by the fact that their bed was blown over on top of them. The dead man was thrown about forty feet. Life was extinct when the body was found. the cause of the explosion, as finally decided by the coroner's jury, was dynamite which had been placen on a little platform outside the house and ignited by unknown persons, probably for revenge. Certain parties are boing sought for and will probably be captured. The dead man was buried Monday afternoon.

 Enterprise: The old Indian who was selling duck on the street yester- day, was taken before Judge Tomlin- son an given fifteen days in the county jail, but on the advice of District Attorney Edwars the fine was suspended until the Indian should be again caught selling game. The game law as passed by the last legislature is very strict and allows the use of scarcely any wild game the aim is to keep any one from kill ing more game than they need for their own use.
