THE TOWN MEETING TUESDAY.


Only 15o Voters Present and Few
Changes Made in Important officers
Tax of 80 Cents-Resoutions in
Regard to Freeing Toll Bridges.
The Rockingham town meeting
Tuesday was attended by about $50
voters and proved to be of little inter
est, only routine business being trans
acted. Only few changes in import
ant officers were made, the principal
one being the declinatiOn of f. b..
Locke to have his name used for re-
election as school director from Sax
tons River, and DR.. John II. Blodgett
was elected in his place, making the
present board II. d. Ryder, G. H.
Babbitt and DR.. John II. Blodgett.
The full nst of officers elected is shown
elsewhere. One hundred dollars was
voted to the Grand Army for expenses
of Memorial day; 5000 for the care
of the town cemeteries and 5000 for
the Rockingham free library, being
the same amounts for each that have
been appropriated for a number of
years past. Inc matter of advisa-
bility of disposing of a small place
near Bartonsvlle known as the Hop
kins place, was left in the hands of
a special committee to report at the
next town meeting. Eighty cents on
the dollar was voted to defray the or
binary expenses of the town, and no
additional amount was voted for high
ways and bridges above what the law
allows. The taxes are to be collected
by the treasurer the same as in for
mer years, for which he receives one
per cent.
The article to see if the town
would vote to pay any Of its indebted
ness was dismissed. The meeting
was informed that the New Hamp-
shire Legislature was that day to de-
eide the question of freeing the toll
bridges, which would include our
bridge here, and resolution was ask
ed to be passed for the purpose of us
ing influence to get the measure
through. The first resolution Of
fered raised a little breeze, the most
important one of the day, as it was
claimed it committed the town to ac-
ton which the town might wish to re-
cind later, thus putting the town in
the position of making promises,
which were not expected to be full
filled after New Hampshire had made
the freeing of the bridge possible.
The first resolution was lost by a
small majority, the sentiment of the
town being much in favor of a free
bridge. A second resolution, worded
in a more guarded manner, was adopt
ed almost unanimously. These were
the two motions which were under dis
cussion:
Moved: That it is the sense of
this town, in the event the bill
now pending before the legisla
ture of New Hampshire relating
to the freeing of toll bridges be-
coming a law, will bear its proper
tionate share of the expense of
making the present toll bridge at
this place a free bridge
Moved: That the voters pres
ent fully concur in, and sympathize
with the efforts now being made
before the New Hampshire legis-
lature to free the toll bridges of
that state, and, at the proper
time, will use our best endeavors
to assist therein by private sub
scription and town appropriation.
to free the bridge at this place.

TRIBUTE To
FALLEN Chief
F'reeland Honors Memory
Of DEAF. President.
Procession and Memorial
Exercises Conducted in a
Manner CreditabIe to the
Town and the Occasion.

Freeland yesterday afternoon paid its
last tribute to the memory of President
Mckinley, and the people of town may
feel proud of the magnitude Of the eX-
ercises and the manner in which they
were conducted.
AT an early hour the town took on a
Sunday appearance, and when noontime
had arrived business Of every descrip-
tion had come to an end for the day
BY common consent operations at all
the surrounding collieres were suspend
ed, and in response to the wishes OF the
local committee every industrial estab-
lishment and workshopin town was idle.
Never before in the history of Free
land was there shown such respect for
any person, renowned or unknown.
Every business house, great and small,
was closed; traffic of all kinds was sus-
pended, and the real and honest emo
ton felt by all the people was evident
on all sides.
The program prepared by the com
mittee was carried out with but slight
variation. The procession was by far
the most notable of its kind that has
ough. With few exceptions, all the
members OF the societies of town were
in the line, marching, however, as
American citizens rather than as mem
bers of their respective organizations.
| A conservative estimate of the adults in
the procession places the number at
$500.
In addition to these, there were 1,750
school children, and from the little tots
in the front ranks to the High school
| pupils in the rear, all seemed to fully
realize the significance of the affair.
None of the local churches held SER
vices, as the exercises provided for one
grand gathering of all denominations
and all classes, irrespective of creed or
nationality, and the good judgment in
doing so was shown by Il view OF the
immense throng which assembled at the
| UNIV pan N, "heio Vho pioSooslou ehucu'
The services there were carried out to
the letter, and were listened to by over
5000 people, and the several clergymen,
musical organizations aud others who
had been assigned to speak or furnish
music performed their duty in most
creditable manner.
Memorial services were held yester-
day morning at ST. James p. e. church,
Drfton. The services included singing
by the choir, prayers, and an appro-
pirate address by Rev. +. Marshall.

The news of the death of William b.
0'Donnell, at the home of his parents,

munity. The young man had been all
ing for the past year with kidney trouble.
During the cold weather last wSter he
was lying for death, but recovered and
was able to move about and apparently
was gaining strength. Wednesday even
ing IL change was noticed in his condi-
tion, but he arose yesterday morning.
Later he returned to his bed and shortly
after doing so he passed into the sleep
from which there is no awakening. He

mass at st. AIMS church. Interment
will be made in st. AIMS cemetery.

A SENSIBLE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.
So Promises the Sunday North American,
the First Number of Which Will
BE Out September 20.


The North American announces that
on September 20 it will began the pub
lication of Sunday edition. Prevail
ing conditions demand of each metro
pelican paper an issue every day in the
year. and the North American is sem
sibly obeyng that demand. Rumors of
this innovation have already been heard
and speculation as to what it will be like
is keen. The North American when it
does anything, does 1t better than any
one else, and in the matter OF a Sunday
paper the same rule is expected to apply.
For one thing, the North American
promises that its Sunday edition will be
different" The standard of text and
illustration will be as high as that of
any monthly magazine. 1t will not be
cheap" in any sense. The North
Americans motto is, "A sensible Sun
day newspaper" 1t will strive, of
course, to be interesting and entertain
ing. The special writer's and artists
are of the first rank and the magnif-
cent mechanical equipment of the North
American insures perfect printing.
As to the details Of the paper itself this
must known. There will be four color
ed supplements in addition to the news
sections and sheet music There will be
a supplement of eight pages in colors,
devoted exclusively to womenS interests,
a comic section of four pages in colors, II
magazine section of twelve pages in
colors a siSteen-page supplement in
colors explaining the involved and vari-
ed processes of making a newspaper.
The first Sunday North American will
probably consist of seventy-sx pages, of
which thirty-two will be used for news.

THEATRICAL.

Willis Granger, the romantic young
actor, will assume the leading role in
"Secret Warrant" France under the
Bourbons was victimized by many cor
rupt practices; one of the most dreaded
instruments was the Lettre de Cachet,
which might easily be obtained by a
court favorite. In many cases the
Secret Warrant would be issued in
king might fill in name and secure the
arrest of most worthy person, who
would be forthwith incarcerated in the
Bastie, and in many cases never heard
of again. From this circumstance w.
A. Tremayne has evolved powerful
romance. The above is a brief des-
crption of the play. At the Grand
opera house, September 26.

The Chinese American play, 1.-The
King of the Opium Ring" which demon
stratod that it had several meritorious
features by drawing crowds nightly for
six weeks to the Academy of Music,
New York, will be the attraction at
Grand opera house in the near furure.
t
"Pennsylvania" is IA new play whose
incidents occur in the neighborhood of
Wilkesbarre and are said to have a
foundation of fact. 1t is to have a
handsome scenic production at the
Grand opera house shortly. The play
has been written jointly by Daniel L..
Hart, of Wilkesbarre, and G. E. Gala
han. Though touching on the labor
question incidentally, and having a very
thrilling strike scene it is not Labor"
play. The story turns upon law
peculiar to this state, and is dramatic
and true to nature. There is mine
scene in which real coal cars are used,
and remarkably realistic explosion.
In the company presenting "Pennsyl-
vania" are included Willis Marble, Jr,
Geo. X. Henery, Clyde Hess, Dorothy
Lewis, other clever artists, and the
Black Diamond Quartette.
At the opera house last night Prof.
Svingali continued to amuse his patrons,

he will lie until the time selected to re-
move him to the opera house to be
awakened tonight.
