A Hundred and Six Years Old.

Mrs. Moses Studley, of Bremen, is now near
ly one hundred and six years old. She was
born in Duxbury, Mass, May %, 1874, and her
maiden name was Ozier. She came to the dis

thaniel Studley, who has been dead sixty

health remarkable. For three years she has
not seen sick day. During the war of the
Revolution she lived at Duxbury, and she says
she used to so to her room and crawl under the
bed for fear of being carried off. She delights
in telling tales of Indian and other wars. She
remembers the sea-fght between the Enter
prise and Boxer, and tells of ship which
sent barges ashore at Bremen, probably during
the war of 1912.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE ExILEs.

THE ExILEs.
Tompklns & Hills great play of "The
Exiles'' will be produced at Portland Theatre
Monday evening and tickets are selling rapid
ly. The plot of the play in brief is this;
The Russian minister of police is in love
with beautiful young girl of family and de-
sires her to become his mistress. He threatens
her with terrible fate if she refuses him. The
girl is in love with young man OF rank, an
officer in the army. She scorns the PROPOSE
tons of the minister and he thereupon has her
and her lover arrested on false charges and
sent to Siberia There they undergo terrible
sufferings. After a time the minister is laid
low in his last sickness but hate for the woman
who has despised him still burns tiercely in
his breast. lie orders number OF the
prisoners to be brought back to St. Petersburg
and shot and among them this girl and her
lover. They are placed in the public square and
the troops are about to fire upon them when
messenger from the Gar arrives suspendlng
the execution. The officer and his betrothed
are subsequently made happy and the wicked
minister comes to grief. The play is supposed
to afford an insight into the Russian tyranny
that has made Nihilism popular In Russia:
The drama is the work OF Sardou, Nus and
Labouffsky, the former one of the most brill
liant and powerful of French dramatists. The
method of travel in Siberia over the snow
wastes is illustrated by sledges and real rein
deers and dogs introduced on the stage, and
numberless brilliant uniforms, representing
the different branches of service Of the Rus
sian army are displayed.
THE DOUBLE MARRIAGE.
Wednesday and Thursday evenings Kate
Claxtons company will appear at Portland
Theatre in 'The Double Marriage"
The scene is laid in France during the war
of Napoleon in 1907 and the characters upon
which the actions depend are RaynaI and Du-
iardin officers in the French army; Josephine
and Rose, daughters of the Baroness de Baure-
pare. The second and third acts carry the
audience fairly with the plot and the fourth,
which closes with the attack on the battery, in
which Dujardin is supposed to be killed, is one
of the most effective yet presented In mill
tary drama scene. The movement of the play is
rapid. The central idea is good one, and has
been nicely handled. Briefly stated, it is the
embarrassing situation OF young woman who
marres second husband after surprising that
the first, to whom she had been united by a
civil magistrate under the existing French
laws, had been slain in battle. A child by
the second husband complicated matters Sc
riously when the first turns up unframed and
eager to claim his bride.
NOTES.

sold at Stockbridge's this morning.
Next Thursday evening the Fiske Jubilee
Singers will appear in the Grand Army course.
Chas Byrne has retired from the editorshlp

ably retire from the Madison Square Theatre

Supreme Judicial Court.

BEFORE JUDGE VIRGIN.
Robert d. Dunning VS.. Androscoggin Railroad Co.
George f. Dunning VS.. Androscoggin Railroad Co.
Two cases OF trespass tried together.
In September, 1860, the defendant corporation
located their track and built certain structures
land enclosed outside of its location the line of
their road through land of these plaintiffs in Bruins
wick These actions brought to recover compen-
sation because of the damage to plaintiffs land by
reason of defendant corporation so occupying said
land up to July 1, 1871, when defendants leased
their road to the Maine Central Railroad.
1t is admitted that the entry on the land in 1860
became unlawful by reason of the omission to OBJ
tain an assessment of the damages by the County
Commissioners, within three years after the loca-
ton, as the statute provides
The defense contend that in no event can the jury
in assessing damages 60 back of December 13, 1867,
because the statute of limitations is pleaded that
from December 1867, till July, 1871, negotiations
for settlement in progress aud that the delay
was at the request of plaintiffs, and therefore de-
PENDANTS not liable in trespass during that pc
riod that in December, 1874 the road was relocat-
ed and application made to the R. R. Commissioners
for adjoining land, and in the hearing before the
County Commissioners all the damages from 1860
to 1874 were taken into consideration, and the
amount of their award was paid to Strout Holmes,
counsel for plaintiffs; that the value of and damage
to the land in question has been very much exagger-
ated.
The plaintiffs reply that the defendants not COM
plying with the statute in regard to having the dam
ages assessed, became trespassers from the begin
ming; that there no license on the part of plain
tffs allowing defendants to continue in occupation
of the land that the attempt at settlement failed;
that no claim was made before the County Commits
soners in 1874 that they were to take into consid
Grafton any damages outside of those for the reloca
ton in 1874, nor evidence introduced in support of
any such claim. Their counsel also claims that
there was error in the proceedings before the
County Commissioners in describing the location of
1874: that it describes but much of the roadway
lies side of the center line; that the proceed
ings before the Railroad Commissioners were void
for want of jurisdiction
Judge Virgin will submit his charge to the jury at
nine a. M to-day.
Strout s. Holmes for plaintiff.
j. B. Cotton for defendants.

yesterday. He was at work cleaning it out,
and pushing his arm into the funnel at the

were called in, but nothing could be done for
his relief At last the makers of the stove were

tier released from his uncomfortable position.
