BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.
A Trial That Didn't Terminate Pleasantly
for the Compliments.

A Belfast correspondent of the Bangor
Wing writes as follows: Mr.. Clark Marden
was arraigned before the Police Court, Satur-
day afternoon, on charge of bribing voter at
the recent election, wherein Mr.. NJ. was a
candidate. The complaint was made by q
young man named Pomeroy, at the instigation
of R. w. Waldron, all parties of Swanvile.
AT the hearing Pomeroy testified that his
complaint was entirely unfounded and that
Mr. Marden did not attempt to exercise any
improper influence, but merely asked the com
planant to vote for him, personally. He also
testified that Waldron told him that he could
get $40 and travelling fees by making such
complaint. Mr.. Marden was, of course, ac-
quilted.
Thereupon, Waldron made complaint
against Pomeroy for committing perjury
Pomeroy was arragned this morning. and
bound over in the sum of $500. At the last
hearing Waldron admitted that after the war
rant against Mr.. Marden had been issued he
advised Pomeroy to take all of Marden's
money he could get, but refused to testify
positively whether or not he urged him to at
tempt to eXtort money from Mr. Marden be-
fore the arrest was made under the warrant.
Pomeroy can neither read nor WRITE
Waldron is under bonds to abide the action of
the Grand Jury under charges of perjury and
assault with intent to rape. Mr.. Marden is one
jury case, and also in civil suit He is also
witness against Waldron's wife in another per-
jury case, likewise awaiting the action of the
Grand Jury.

upon making others happy.
The marriage ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr.. Perry, about o'clock, and after con-
gratulations, bountiful supper was served, to
which the assembled multitude did ample JUS
tice. The bride was dressed in white and
looked charming. A genuine surprise to the
family was the coming of the rmouth Band,
which dscoursed some stirring and excellent
music.
The presents to the host and hostess, as well
as to the young couple, were numerous. fine
and useful. A couple of fine oil paintings. by
Capt Horato Blanchard, a native of Cumber-
land, graced the walls; beautiful clock and
ornaments from friends in New York, a silver
service of seven pieces, from a club of friends
at Cumberland, and an elegant ice pitcher
from Mr.. Smith of Boston, were on one of the
tables. while beautiful cake baskets and num-
erous other elegant and useful articles were

THE MARKETS.
Great Activity in Portland.

The markets are in an excited state at pres
ent, and very many staples are showing decided
advances. For the past few days grain has
gone up, at the rate of about two cents day,
while flour has advanced full half dollar in
the past two weeks, with an evidently strong
upward tendency.
A well known iron firm received orders yes
terday afternoon from the senior member to
advance all brands of iron one-quarter OF a
cent ia rther, and it is rurnored the firm has
already made SIG, 900 by the advance.
Cheese is way up and very much excited. A
story is told of the senior member of firm in
Portland 1t appears that business friend
called in the other day and asked him if he
had any cheese. The merchant Immediately
displayed his stock. The friend tested the
cheeses and finally asked the merchant what
he would take for the lot. The merchant, ex-
pecting to drive a good bargain, said seven
cents. The friend, to his surprise, said he
would take the lot, and the bargain was con-
cluded. What was the merchants disgust,
when his son came in, to learn that the friend
had been buying up cheese where he could,
and that it was held at nine cents. One man

Pork is also rising. The agents of Squire &
Co., the great packing firm, yesterday sold
hirty-one carloads to Portland merchants to
be delivered.
Fish is showing an activity in mackerel that
will probably cause change in our weekly
markets tomorrow.
In fact the activity in business circles is
something unusual for these times, and the
operators of the Western Union were kept
busy by our merchants yesterday.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA
THE IDEAL PINAFORE,

THE IDEAL PINAFoRE.
We have had all kinds and styles of Pinafore
in Portland, but tonight we shall be favored
with performance by more vocalists of great
repute than can be afforded by any other
troupe in the country. We have already pub
lished the cast, the tickets are nearly all sold
and will all be gone by tonight-and the final
request of the management is that the audi
ence will, if possible, try and be seated before
the hour for performance.
RENTZ AND sTANTLEY's MINsTRELs.

nature, and as such was received with con-

famous dublin DAN" Long before the
doors were opened every available seat was
sold, and tile sidewalk in front of the hall was
crowded with people eager to get in. The
show at present is far superior to any of its
kind ever exhibited in this city, there being
more variety and everything being introduced
on a grander scale. McGann is himself all the
time, and besides, he is helped along by Hall,
Ashton and Henderson, comedians, who rank
above the average. Miss Fannie Knight, as
vocalist has phenomenal voice; and Miss
Annie NJ Sullivan who is a fayOrite in this
place, is as sprightly as ever.
