Ex-Governor Dingley and Mrs. Dingley
arrived on the Las p. IN. Grand Trunk
train to-day. A large crowd OF citizens
had gathered at the depot to welcome Mr..
Dingley. The committee of reception gave
him an informal greeting in the gentle
mems room at the station, and extended
him an invitation to be in readiness at u
p. m. to be received in state at his resi-
dence. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dingley gave
evidence of improved health and vigor by
their foreign tour.
The evening programme was carried out
in accordance with the programme pub
lished yesterday, with the exception OF the
address of welcome, which was delivered
by NJ T. Ludden, Esq, instead of Cover
nor Garcelon, as previously arranged. His
Excellency was not possibly able to be pres
ent, much to the regret of the committee.
Mr.. Ludden, however, ably filled the ca
pacity. Mr.. Dingley's reply was brief, but
highly acceptable to the large concourse of
people gathered to see and hear their hon.
ored fellow-citizen. 1t is needless to say
Mr.. Dingley is very popular among his own
townsmen, as well as abroad.
Members of the City Governments of
Lewiston and Auburn occupied seats on
the platform. The hall was filled with citi-
zens irrespective of party, who extended
warm welcome home.
This evening, Andrew Martin, Lawrence
Martin and George Willard ,sthree French
men, had an affray near the Hill Corpora
ton. Lawrence's left arm was cut to the
bone, and Willard received severe cuts
about the head. DR.. Kicker pronounced
the wounds of a serious nature. An old
grudge had existed between the men.
