FIRST SERMON AS PASTOR
Of the Barre Baptist church--He Begins
His Passionate With an Able Ser
mana Large Congregation
Present.

The Rev William BREASTED, the new
pastor at the First Baptist church
preached his initial sermon yesterday
morning to large congregation. Mr.
BREASTED is a convincing speaker and
held the congregation until the last
word Of his sermon. The minister's sub
ject was "The Fight Of Faith" and the
text was taken from / Timothy 6-12,
Fight the good fight Of the faith, lay
hold the life eternal
Mr.. BREASTED began his address by
speaking Of the immense number Of
people in the world and called the con.
gregations attention to the fact that
this immense number was but small
fraction Of the number which had ex-
listed upon the earth since its creation
and he said that all these people
fought the fight, lighting either for or
against some faith or unhelef He
said that this had always been the con-
dition and that the devil was offering
the same temptations to us today that
he offered to Eve in the garden al
though in different ways; ever since
Eve ate the apple the fight Of the faith
has been raging. He spoke of the hero
ism OF the early Christians and Of the
fsutfering and persecution which they
underwent in the first three hundred
years Of Christianity Of the resigna.
tion of Paul when he was sentenced to
sic in comparison with some OF the LAT
ter day Christians. The speaker said
that there had never been but one faith
delivered by God and that God stood
for one thing and satan for another
and that all persons must choose be.
tween them He stated that unbelief
in Cod and ChIist, bis son, had ceased
TO exist and said that it was lucky the
Yoltajre and lngersoll died when they
did as all are believers in the faith
now. lie said that the great peril now
was not in uHbeief but III indifference
and that Christ and his teachings were
not accepted as sahy should be- 0pp0s

preferable to that which is put on for

Mr.. Braistcd said that the standard
was the same for a man or woman
and that a man should live lust the
same clean life that a woman is expect.
el to live He spake Of the faith which
is dead and said that faith which Il
sluggish and shows no appearance of
life has the same comparison to the live
faith as the dead body Of human be-
ing has TO that of a live one It takes

CANDIDATES FOR eoyERNoR.

The names of Lieut.. Gov. George H.

ton Of Roxbury, and II. N. Turner Of

or less frequently Of lste as probable

present governor, Fletcher D. Proctor.

stance. The Times wasn't an ardent
supporter Of the governor when be was
being considered as q candidate for the
nomination two years ago, for it thought
him simply seeker after the office for
what honor there was in IT; but the
governor has proved an honor to the
Office fully as much as he has been
honored by II. There is in Vermont an
honest admiration for Governor Hughes
and the good he has accomplished against
strong opposition through the legisla-
ture Of that state. Governor Hughes
merits it, but in a similar way Governor
Proctor was influential in accomplishing
much through our own legislature at the
last session. Governor Hughes secured
the passage of the public utilities bill;
Governor Proctor by his active and az
gressive advocacy Of the railroad bill
secured similar results in this state, and
while perhaps not working actively for
its passage, it was only through the
knowledge that he would approve that
the weekly payment bill was carried in

opposition Of the railroads. and large cor

claimed by senie two years ago that
Governor Bell would have made a Try

Mr.. Proctor had not been candidate,
and there were many then who had
reached the belief that continuous rota.
tioa in office wasn't the best course for
the state. If this idea is to grow, now
is the time to try it, when the state
would be the gamer by keeping the
present governor in Office for another
term.

SUIT FOR s2O,O0o
Mrs Amelia Benedict will Fight
 Her Case.

Mrs Amilia Benedict, through her attorneys, Burpee & Carmody, has entered suit against the city claim ing damages to the amount of $30,- 900. This is the outcome of the diff ference of opinion regarding the award of damages made in 1890 for the layout of Liberty street from Benedict street to Bank street. The Benedicts were awarded damages of $5,000, and a check was drawn for that amount the parties notified that 1t awaited them at the office of the comptroller. They never claimed it until recently when they showed disposition to accept the check with interest which footed up such a bill that the city officials didn't know where they were at and decided to ask City Attorney Kellogg to enlight- en them. The attorney advised the board of finance that the parties were entitled to the check without inter- est This marked the parting of the ways and thereupon the attorneys went to work on the papers and had them served upon City Clerk Sand land Tuesday afternoon. This will make an inteersting scrap in the courts and the public will be some- what interested in it.

 man to that of an onslaught by h. dians. The defense was that Corr tried the patience of the two men. A
 fine of $5 and costs was imposed in
 each case. Dowd was charged with

INTENT TO MURDER
IDiured Meu We're Not Able 10
 Appear in Court.

Officer John Donahue arrested Joseph DePetro last evening and the man will have to stand trial for as- sault with intent to murder. The party he is said to have assaulted is not yet named in the complaint but 1t will either be Joseph Deleo of 40S Washington avenue or Pasquale De- menice of 84 Charles street. The mat ter has not been fully developed yet by the police.
 It seems, however, that the three men were out for a pleasant walk and each of them had his arsenal with him, following custom of the Christmas time in their own country. An argument started between them and then knives were brought into use. Deleos face was cut almost in halves by DePetro's knife, it is be- lieved, and he also received a cut in the back below the neck that is about seven inches long and quite deep.
 The other fellow, Domenico, was stabbed twice in the abdomen, twice in the chest and his left lung is be- lieved to have been cut also.
 This man was left bleeding or the street at the junction of Porter and Washington avenue. When Donahue found DePetro he took him to the residence of Domenico who identified him as his assailant. Attorney Guil- foile appeared for the accused in the city court to-day, but owing ;o the condition of both the injured men they were not able to appear in court and the tri,tl went over until the case is fully developed by the police. De- Fetro was held in bail of $5,000.
