evening that legal action would proba-

mixup in local fruit store Saturday
evening. According to stories on the
street yesterday man from randolph
went into the store directly after an
other man had been in there and who
had some talk with the proprietor
which caused hard feelings. The sec
ond man took sides with the first man
and as a result claims that the pre-
prietor struck him and then threw him
over and against a show case, break
ing it. 1t is said that the proprietor
of the store will bring action to recov-
err damages for the breaking of the
case, while another report says that
the Randolph man will seek damages
for injuries caused to his side receiv-
ed when the show case broke. The lat
ter claims that he was the assaulted
part and that pieces of the broken
glass penetrated through his clothing
and cut him in the right side to some
depth His story is backed up by sew
eral who have seen the cut. The case.

Three Burglars Frightened
Away by Officers Alertness

officer Fred Burgess who was on
duty in place of Officer Eugene York
on the North End beat about 2 A. M.
Saturday night, had a lively encounter
with three burglars, whom he en-
countered at the o. A. Meader & Co.
fruit house near the station. The
officer was making his regular hounds
and saw a man standing near the
front of the wholesale house When
the man noticed the officer he gave a
signal and presently two more men
jumped from window in the store
and beat a hasty retreat.
The men ran between the Kennebec
Boat & Canoe plant and the building
occupied by Mark Clafiin. The officer
did not have the regulation revolver.
as it was not turned over to him by
the other officer All he had was a
small % calibre. He fired at the flee
ing men and quickly they returned
the fire, discharging several shots at
the officer as they ran through the
Maine Central yard to Main street.
The officer was not hit
Officer Burgess followed the men
from Main street to Pleasant street
where they ran through the Flood
wood yard and were lost to view. AS

the men ran the officer again fired,
but the cylinder in his small revolver
flew from its place and he was left
helpless The yeggmen fired more
shots at the officer just before they
entered the wood yard. None of them
took effect.
Realizing the foolishness of follow
ing the men without a weapon. the
officer immediately notified police
headquarters from the signal box and
Deputy Marshal Burgess and an officer
went to that vicinity. But the burg
lars had made their escape, lodging
through the wood yard onto North
street and then to parts unknown.
The officer did not get close enough
to gather any description of the men.
The officers then returned to the
store. They found that the men had
entered through window on the
North side, after cutting out a screen
A small quantity of candy and gum
was taken and that was about all the
burglars secured for their trouble.
The affair took place in the early
hours of the morning but the exchange
of rapidly fired shots brought many
people from their beds, all of whom
were naturally curious to learn the
cause

known that more than 1000 delegates

NOther societies will swell the contingent
of accredited representatives to the va

1t is also considered certain that last
years record of 700 delegates to the
annual meetings of the Congregation

exceed led at the Boston meeting.
The questions to be debated at the
meeting of the National Council bear
upon religious education, Christian
tional life. The administration of the
benevolent and the missionary work
of the denomination will be particu-
larly considered. 1t is now carried
on both in the home and foreign field

grown up apart from direct church in

sociate themselves together for COM
mon tasks. AS time has gone on the
societies have sought to relate them
selves more directly to the churches
on whose support they rely, but at
present there is united oversight of
the societies by the churches, and for
several years especially in the West,
the demand has been growing for a
more direct control and supervision

cause spirited and extended discus

an administrative body, but if it takes
on the functions which many Con-
gregationalists desire to have it as
sumo. it will have to change it's con-
stitutiOn, meet oftener than once in
three years, and assume the respon-
slbilities hitherto introduced. There
is said to be strong current of feel
ing in favor of this change.
The meetings of the affiliated organiza-
lions have brought to Boston the great
est throng of congregational clergymen
in the history of the denomination and
today and tonight the pulpits of 100 Con-
gregational churches in Boston and vi
entity were occupied by clerical leaders
of the denomination from every section
of the United States. 1t might truthful
ly be said that the clergymen are from
every part of the world, as dozens Of
missionaries from the foreign fields have

Rev. Cyrps Flint Stimson of the
Congregational church delivered a
stirring address Sunday evening, TAX
ing the subject of "Resubmission In
Maine" as his theme. The congregation
was small but interested as Mr.. Slim
son handled the subject in a clear and
conceptiVe manner
The speaker declared that personally
he did not fear resubmission in the
least and thought that it would be a
benefit to the people. 1t would place
them with the majority and give to all
a chance of voting on a question which
has been public utterance for years.
1t will be a great battle and he stated
that he likes to see a battle. not for
the battles sake, but for the purpose
of arousiug the intelligence. He loved
a battle for what was involved.
He thought the time was near for the
people themselves to think out the
great liquor question and how it shall
be handled. He stated that he believed
in the democracy and trusted the peo-
pie but this did not mean that they

Womans Home Missionary Society
and is composed of children between
the ages of one and ten years. The
annual dues are 10 cents per year. In
addition each child is given a mite box
in the hope that a penny day may
be deposited for the benefit of the
Home Missionary fund. Hallowell

gathering Saturday Afternoon was ex-
ceedingly interesting. The Journal

and he was personally impressed with
the scene as the little ones were seated
around after the Kindergarten style
with their mother in charge. under
the beautiful fall foliage with which
the vestry was decorated. All We're
orderly and appeared as little ladies
and gentlemen. The mind of the
thought could not help reverting to the
time when Jesus stood in the midst
and said: suffer the little children
to come unto me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of
IGod." After an hour was passed the
mite boxes were opened and found to
contain SAT-, and by donations later

which would strengthen the team. Cor

behind their line.
