The seeend Game Lest.

Company D lost to Hanover A. {. last
week Tuesday evening by the score OF "a
to % after one OF the fastest, il not the
fastest game, ever played on the local
floor. The game opened with squirt by
Hanover; the period ended with the score
II to 4 in favor OF the visitors, and it
looked as if it would be runaway
game. In the second period the score
changed, Company D leading at the end
by the score of 10 to II. This period
was iul OF exciting plays and the home
team bad the visitors at their mercy.
The last period was fast and exciting TOR
goal from the field would give the game
to either team and in the last 20 seconds
oil play Hanover secured the desired goal
which won the game. The result OF the
game is not wholly satisfactory; many
OF the local rooters think that Com
pany D can defeat this team ano could do
so in another game. The Hanover A. I.
team is supposed to be the fastest team
that can be got togetherin Hanover and
they certainly can play last basket ball.

Sessions in It's History.

Boston, May 26.-The Massachusetts
Legislature adjourned without date, to-
night.
The session just brought to an enc
was one of the shortest in the history
of Massachusetts,. 1t has Teen "a year:
since a session closed in May.
While many important matters wer>
touched upon, during the sitting com.
paratively few measures of consequence
We're enacted. Upon the most importan,
Of all subjects taken up, namely tbs
general question of railroads and rail-
ways, the General Cour. devoted much
time, yet adopted little pertinent legis-
lation. The general merger bill, so call
ed, which authorized the purchase of
street railways by Massachusetts, steam
rail- Dads under certain restrictions, was
first passed hut later defeated on &C
count of a difference between the two
bran ches over a proposed amendment.
Finally all the railroad and railway
questions were submitted to a speclal
committee which is 10 investigate the
entire matter during the recess.
The most important bill passed was
that authorizing the consolidation OF
the Boston Gas Companies which viii
mean within a year 4 decrease in the
price of Boston gas from one dollar TO
80 cents a thousand feet.
The Legislature passed another
bounty" bill authorizing the payment
of 1925 to the veterans CT the Civil
War. Governor Douglas vetoed the
measure on the ground that it was un-
constitutional, and the Senate upheld
the veto.
A proposition to transfer the state
Irison from Charlestown to the Island
of Nashawena. was suggested by thu
governor. was referred TO a special
committee to investigate the general
question.
Among the last acts of the Legislature
was the auth 1rization of the cOnstruc-
ton of subway to Cambridge by the
Boston Elevated Railway Co.
During the session. the governor af1ix-
ed his signature to 479 bills, 108 resolves,
and vetoed four measures. One measure,
the Natick Lean Bill, was passed over
the governors veto.
President Dana of thu Senate. and
Speaker rockingham, of the House,
announced the following personnel of
the important recess committee which
is to consider and revise the general
laws relative to railroads and street
railway corporations:

STRIKE RIOTS

finally forced to take refuge in ONCE
and other nearby buildings.

The teamsters' strike is running along
like a flood tide no barrier appearing
in any direction to keep It within def
mite bounds and while 1t has been
spreading, interest has shifted temper
arily from the strike between employers
and labor union to difficulties between
the business interests involved and the
local administrative authorities.
In the face of declarations by the en-
ployers that the police department is in
adequate to afford protection to proper
ty as result of conditions brought
about by the strikes spread to the lum-
Der district, Mayor Dune announced
for troops this week.
The lumbermen, the latest interests
to be affected by the strike are not SO
optimistic. They seem to be living in
terror Of riotous uprising in the vast
area embraced by their yards and
plants, a district peculiarly inviting to
ncendiariSm.
In anticipation of trouble in the lum-
her district the mayor instructed Chief
of Police O'Neil to close all saloons
where crowds are permitted to gather.
In preparation for a protracted strike
siege the teamsters' jOint council has
arranged to send agents to all parts of
the country for the purpose of gather
ing funds. 1t is the ambition of thu
strike leaders to raise 81 900, 600 by July 1.
Solicitors probably viii start from
Chicago next week on their mission.
They will visit every local union in the
United States solicit funds and endeav-
or to arouse sympathy.
One of the first moves of the strike
leaders to keep the men in line will be
to increase the weekly strike benefits.
The drivers on strike now receive $40
a week. The Express Drivers Union has
arranged, according to the officials, to
pay its 800 members s12 weekly begin
ming next Monday. If sufficient funds
cen be raised the benefits paid to other
strikers will be increased in proportion.

Boston, May 26-Following yester-
days business meeting, the Free Reii-
giouS Association continued its annual
convention. today, the sessions being
held at the Parker Memorial. The gen.
eral topic of "a Revival Of Morality.
was discussed, Edwin d. Mead of Bos-
ton, presiding.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Mead
referred to the recent death of Mrs
Mary A. Livermore. Continuing, he
said i'm part:
"We meet at Il time when there is
coming TO a climax. perhaps, the gross
est instance of municipal corruption
and robbery which has ever been seen
in American life-I mean the cOndi-
ton of things in Philadelphia, today.
But municipal corruption is not the on
ly evil whose shame has burned itself
into our souls. Race hatred i'm this
country is almost unparalleled. There
is no nation calling itself civilized
where lawlessneSS in all departments
of life is so general. This condition has
come very largely from our great ma
teriaiism and it is for the leaders of
religious opinion to stir up such feel
ing in this country as shall lead to re-
form in this respect"
Other speakers were James p. Mum
roe. president Of the Massachusetts
Reform Club; William NJ. Slater of
Chicago. Rev. Chas. f. Dole of Bos-

WATERVILLE.
FOR CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
Jacob Brisk Fined $40 and Costs ard
Appeals the Case.

The municipal court had a very in
terestins session, beginning at 8
O'Clock. Friday morning. 1t will be re-
membered that the Journal of Monday
morning. contained an account of
what appeared to be q case of great
cruelty to Il horse owned by a certain
Hebrew. who was stopped by Officer
GOOdrow in an attempt to force Il
horse beyond his natural strength. The
S. p. c. A. of this city has since in
vestigated the matter and, as result.
Jacob Erisk, the cause of the disturb
ance, was arrested on the charge. The
circumstances, inasmuch as the case
has since been a subject of much COM
ment, We're clearly brought out in
court, the evidence being such that the
respondent was sentenced to pay Il fine
of $40 and costs. He appealed.
The animal, it appeared from Mr..
Brsk's testimony, had been bought the
day before. On the night of the Incl
dent, the owner started from Oakland
with a load of old iron. which. al
though it was estimated by the mans
accusers to have weighed at least half
a ton. weighed by actual test, but 500
1000 pounds avoirdupois. The animal
was accustomed to frequent fits of
baking and sQuealing. The whip with
which he was said to have been beaten
on the evening when his pitifu cries
aroused the neighborhood was Il slight
Withe. covered with leaves. The whip,
however could not be produced. The
load, weighing but 500 pounds. was on
the way from Oakland to Waterville
from s O'Clock, Friday night, until 2
O'Clock, Saturday morning.
officer Goodrow testified that he be-
lieved the animal was perfectly capa-
willing. and that there wore no marks
of violence or i'll treatment on his body.
The statement that the horse. when
first seen by the men who heard his
cries. was covered with lather was not
re-affrmed in court
The evidence upon which the owner
of the horse was convicted was this:
The noise which resembled the falling
of blows could not have been the kick
beaten never kicks and then squeals.
hut always spueals before kicking.
The horse. although not exactly in n
latEer"d condition, was found to be
steaming. and that he had been beat
en- by something more effective than n
Nithe. there seemed to be no doubt in
the mind of the judge.
Fred w. Clair appeared for the re-
spondent and II. D. Eaton for the
plaintiff.
