interesting Paper by Alderman CARL
Before Historical Society.

"The Narraganset Township was
the subject of nm interesting paper by
Alderman Eugene G. Carl. Tuesday
evening. before the Kennebec Histori-
cal Society,
MIR. CARL began his sketch of the
Nara ganset township with King Phil
lips War When the army was mus
tered in 1875 on Dedham plain. prepar-
atory TO the march against the strong
held of King Phillip, proclamation
was made to the troops in the name of
the government, THAT if they played
the man, took the fort and drove the
enemy out of the Narraganset country,
which was their great seat, they
should have gratuity in land besides
their wages. 1t was not until 1888. 5S
years Afterwards that steps We're tax
en- to carry out this agreement of "a
bounty of land
The paper dealt especially with the
two Narraganset townships in Maine,
Buxton, No. l. in York county and
Gorham, No. Z, in Cumberland county,
the two townships, adjoining, although
now separated by the county line. They
were excellent townships of land, eX-
west to the Presumpseot on the east.
Both were heavily timbered. The sec
ton is today remarkable for the album
dant natural production of white pine.
Gorham was incorporated in 1854 BuN-
ton in 1372.
One of the conditions of the grant
was that the town should set apart
a certain portion of it for the support
of the Gospel So generous WAS that
portion and so well financed IN Cor
ham that at this time the income from
its fund affords the main support OF
the congregational church. The Con-
gregational churches in both towns
were built from the proceeds of the
grant. The Buxton church is the
scene of Kate Douglass Wiggin s
story, 1.-THE Peabody Pew.
Mr.. Carl quoted from Pieree's His
tory of Gorham to give general idea
of social conditions and the prices OF
the necessities of life in 1850. The
sufferings of Gorham men IN the
French and Indian Wars were also
touched upon as we'll as the active
part taken in the Revolutionary War
by the early settlers of Gorham and
Buxton.

Gorham ard father of Col Richmond

EDWARDS BOUND OVER.
Upon Charge of Passing $40 Worthless
Check at National Home.

George Edwards, who was arrested,
Monday evening, by City Marshal
Fletcher and officer Corbett, pleaded
guilty. Tuesday forenoon, in the mu-
nicipal court, to charge of passing
worthless check on Lewis Obin, a
member of the National Soldiers

was for the amount of $40 upon the
First National Bank of Lewiston. and
was given to the old soldier in pay
ment for a 2S-jewel. gold filed watch.
1t was not necessary for the COM
plainant to testify, as the respondent
pleaded guilty, but Edwards was al

the worthless check. He stated that
he would not have thought OF such a

and that he had just begun to sober
UP, when the officers arrived, ana
thought that he would carry the
watch back to its owner, but he was
hindered in doing as he intended by
the arrival of the officers.
He asked to be allowed to go so that
he might support his wife, whom he
said was living in this city, AT the
present time. He said that he came
to Augusta from Providence, II, H..
