and benevolent boards of the church
aggregated about $4,000.
An important part of the meeting
was the election of the four deacons,
to serve for a period of three years.
The class whose term expired consist
ed of e. M. Majors H. R. Collision, I.

whom insisted that new men should be
elected in their stead They introduce
ed resolution to the effect that no
deacon should serve more than two
terms, of three years each, continuous
lily. The congregation declined to ap-
prove this as church rule, but partly
adopted the idea by not re-electing two
of the class who insisted most
strenuously upon retiring. The
ballot resulted in the election of
liz. M. Majors, H. r. Collision,
DR.. F. NJ. Fuller and N. A.

The report or the session reviewed
the general conditions of the year,
with details as to the changes in the
membership by additions, deaths, re-
movals and other causes. There were
eleven deaths during tn. year among
the membership, an unusually large
number The present membership of
the church on the active roll is $50.
Reports of the Woman's Sewing So.
ciety, the Chapel Fund Society and the
Westminster Brotherhood indicated
fine spirit in these organizations
and effective work during the year.
The total amount raised by these soci.
cites during the year was about
$4,000
Altogether the meeting was enthu-
siastic and encouraging. and the de.
tailed reports showed healthy condi.
ton of the church and its varied
agencies, and encouragement for the
future.
1t is probable that considerable re.
pairs and improvements will be made
on ne Chapel during the year. These
were contemplated in the general
scheme of last year but were not
reached at that time.

HE ENDORSED NOTES

The following dispatch from Cleve-
land will be of interest to those who
have followed the Kieran financial
troubles since last December:
CLEVELAND, March S1.-Rev. Will
liam Mcmahon, pastor of st. Bridget's
Roman Catholic church, Cleveland,
and editor of the Catholic Universe,
filed a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy in the United States court to-
day. In the petition his total liabil-
tiles are stated to be $1,594 141.64,
with assets aggregating $75,207.64, of
which s71.30O is real estate. The Sc
cured claims amount to $946.925.75;
unsecured claims, 1911, 207.91, and
commercial paper, s1S5,91S.
Father Mcmahon was a director of
the Fidelity Funding Company of New
York, founded by P. j. Kieran and
which now is in the hands of re-c:y-
ers. Thus it came about that his
name was signed to many of the pa
pers issued by the company and for
which he now is held liable by the re-
ceivers.

THE CONDUCTOR
ASSAULTED HIN
Anderson Says That He Was
treated Roughly on a Street
Car Last Evening While
Riding.
WAS RIDING ON A PASS
,v,n,.d to File an information Against
the Man For Assault With In
tent to Commit
Murder.

n w Anderson was up In tine super
,or court this morning for the purpose
y, hling an information against
street car conductor for assault with
intent to kill.
because he refused to tell the con-
anctor where he got his pass last even
,na he claims that the conductor as
s.ulted him in an attempt to put him
~ tho car. striking him a blow on the
head with the fare register and giving
him other wounds.
With a bump on one side OF his
head a wound on the other side plas-
tered up by doctor and with bruises
about his body he gave the following
version of the assault which happen
cd last evening at about Ills o'clock
on car number 40.
Anderson got on the car at Fifth
and Main enroute home and took
seat in the rear vestibule. He handed
the conductor one of the passes used
hy city officials and firemen and after
taking it. the conductor asked him
where he got the pass.
He replied that it was none OF his
business. rhe conductor said that he
had a right to know and Anderson
refused stating that he had boarded
the car like peacable citizen and
proffered the ticket. If the conductor
| did not like it, he could refuse the
. ticket.
Then the conductor told Anderson,
so he says, that he would stop the car
and put him off, CHASING him as a
bum Anderson replied that he had
better not try anything like that or he
might get his face slapped.
Conductor Got Help.
The conductor then went back into
| the car, but returned with another
man who stepped to the one side of
Anderson while the conductor stood
in front. The conductor then asked
Anderson II he had said that he would
slap him and Anderson replied that
/ he had said it.
The trouble started, the conductor
and the other man striking at Ander-
son, the conductor using the fare
register as sling shot and cracking
MIN one blow on the head which
forced blood.
The blows on the head almost put
anderson out of business and the two
men started to eject Anderson from
the car. The motorman stopped the
rumpus before Anderson was thrown
off,
;, he says that the conductor got off
the car at the Franklin street switch
ana that his name was Eams. Ander-
son got off at Eleventh street and had
a DOCTOR fix him up this morning He
says that he had ridden before with
1nis same conductor but never had
trouble before.

Little sweetheart of my boyhood, I re-
member you so well! How l helped you
climb the barn roof and how heavily you
fell. How we leaned above the water in
the brook that purled about and you slipped
and tumbled into 1t and l reached and
dragged you out. How we Joined our hands
in skating and l sought the thinnest ice
and we both Of us broke %throughit! All,
those childhood days were nice when l
boosted you for cherries and you slipped
and barked your shin TIL your mother heard
you crying and came out and took you in,
with a stern, forbidding gesture warning
me to go away as a rough and careless
youngster who would be in Jail some day!
Little sweetheart OF my boyhood, l re-
member how we went up the walk TO school
together and my eyes on you were bent
with a wealth Of pure affection that found
vent in apples red, stolen from some neigh
boris orchard, and in flowers for your head,
gathered from the dales and hollows, that
were shyly given you with their spirit Of
rare fragrance and their jewels Of the dew.
How you took them with the bushes dye
ing red your pretty cheek, and the eyes
your lashes sheltered, with what eloquence
they speak even now as | remember how
the fragrance ana the dew seemed the spirit
and the jewel of the sweetness hidden in
you.
Little sweetheart of my boyhood. l re-
member when you stood with your bonnet
idly flying as we searched the field and
wood for some flower closely hidden. as l
might go search today for the flower OF
those moments that is withered quite away.
l remember how We reckoned of the future
