QUEER LIBRL SUIT.-A queer sort of e libel
suit is reported from Minneapolis, Mum. 4
lew days ago young woman, dressed in mourn
leg and apparently in great GRIEF, appeared at
the Office of the Tribune, and presented man
uscript, which she said was the true story of her
dead sister, who had been shamefully wronged.
Ii represented that girl named O'Neil had
been betrayed, and that In operation had been
performed upon her which resulted in her death,
and the apparent sincerity OF the woman who
brought the manuscript led the Tribune to pub
ltsh the story, after putting il in presentable
shape. Next day, however, q priest called at
the office OF the Tribune and said II was all
lie; the girl O'Neil was alive and well, aud
furthermore was girl of very good character.
IhereupOn the Tribune published a dental,
giving the whole history of the affair, but the
young woman was not satisfied with this, and
began a suit for libel, claiming TO- 900 dam
ages. Detectives were then set at work TO ind
cut the author OF the libel, who proved TO be
hired girl in the same family where the O'Neil
girl worked 1t further appeared that this girl
lad a lover and that their wedding day had
several times been fixed, butas often postponed,
ewing, as she finally learned, to the fact thai
che had rival in the O'Neil giEl. This dis
COVery prompted her to seek revenge, and an
sccOunt Of seduction case which she had read
in paper suggested the novel way in which she
carried cut her purpose.

The Executive Committee of the Portland
Industrial Exhibition have about perfected
their arrangements for the grand exhibition
next month. City, Reception and Rossini
Halls will be used for the display of the goods.
The plan is drawn for City Hall already. A
space of six feet around the side of the hall
will be used for the display of heavy goods.
Then there will be walk four feet wide, and
then tables and so on. In the centre there will
be space left for fancy goods. The .galleries
on the north side and in the rear will be floored
over, the flooring reaching out several feet. The
south gallery will be reserved for visitors. That
portion of the gallery foored over will be used
for the display of furniture.

BILE on or before Saturday, june 9th. The last
day for entering will be June 9Th.
Goods must first be entered at the Secretary's
| office in the ante-room of City Hall, where a
| record of the same will be kept. Labels bear
| ing the exhibitors name. will be furnished for
| each article. Season tickets will be furnished
each exhibitor. There has already been a
/. sufficient number of tickets sold to guarantee
| grand success.
The attention of exhibitors is called to the
| following facts: LIST. That all articles on ex-
| hibiton are at the entire risk of the owners.
Efficient means will, however, be taken to pro-
tect the property of each exhibitor, which will
always be under his charge, but in no case will
the managers become res ponsible for such
property
3D. That proper order will at all times be
preserved by an efficient police, who will be
present to prevent offences against exhibitors
| and visitors. Persons who witness any VIOLA
ton of order are earnestly requested to report
the same to the general superintendent or the
manager.
Sd. That the goods exhibited are not for

Unjtarianism.
In the American Unitarian Association to-
day, there was long debate on the status of
Rev. j. w. Potter of New Bedford. whose
name had been dropped from the roll on ac-
count OF his assertion that though Unitarian
so fan as his relations to Unitarianism was
concerned, he no longer considered himself a
Christian. The controversy was carried on in
pleasant way and many resolutions were
presented. The following, offered by Rev. Mr..
Cordner of Montreal, was finally adopted:
Inasmuch as the term Unitarian, as used in
the title of the Association and in its pubica-
tons, has always been held to carry a distinctly
Christian meaning, cur Unitarian ministers
being held and regarded by us as public teach
ers of the christian religion, and as the action
OF the assistant secretary, sustained by the
executive committee, in emitting from the cat
alogue the name of minister who says he is
no longer Caristian, has been in harmony
with the common usage of the term among us,

MATTERS IN MAINE

The BowdOin Rebellion.
BRUNSWICK, May 26.--No settlement of diff
fculties in Bowdoin College has as yet been
made. The Faculty held long session last
evening, but adjourned till 13O this afternoon
without having arrived at any definite con-
cluson as to what course to pursue. 1t is said by
the students that members of the Board OF
Trustees promise to abolish the drill at tie
coming commencement if the students will
retrace their steps. The Students however,
held joint meeting this noon and voted to
abide by theiri former decision and resist, if
need be, till not man remains in thel college,
Two of the students have withdrawn their
names from the pledge of resistance, leaving
119 out of 124 still resisting.
Some settlement of the difficulty will doubt
less be effected during the day or evening.
Later.
All the members of the Sophomore and
Freshman classes have been summoned before
the Faculty and asked if they would in future
abide by the rules of the college, Two of the
number replied that they would do so. All OF
the others answered that they would obey all
rules excepting those relating to the drill, but
that they would never again drill while in
college. To this the Faculty replied :-''Then
you must leave town and your punishment will
be sent you by mail"
The Juniors are expecting to be summoned
at once to appear before the Faculty. They
claim that there is not one who will not follow
the Sophomores and Freshmen, and that by to-
morrow there will be but two students of the
three lower classes remaining in town. What

\ later despatch from Brunswick says that
the Junior class of Bowdoin college were sum-
moned to the artillery drill at the usual hour
this morning, but did not appear. In the
afternoon those members of the three lower
classes who refused duty in the military depart
ment were summoned individually before the
Faculty of the college, and those who declined
obedience to the requirements of the college,
and to the terms of their matriculation pledge,
between 80 and 100 in Humber, were sent home
to await further action. 1t is understood that
these students are neither expelled nor sus-
pended for any definite time, but that they are
sent home until the Faculty have taken fur
ther and decisive action.
