WIDOW BEDoTT.
Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday even
ings, Mr.. Neil Burgess will appear at Portland
Theatre in the dramatzatlon of Petroleum v.
Nasby's widow Bedott''. 1t is said that Mr..
Locke has most successfully dramatized the
we'll known Bedott Papers He has succeeded
in producing widow who at times may be
classed as virago; at other times she is the
hard-hearted, grasping woman ever alive to
her own comfort. and the next moment she
captivates the audience for they all recog nize
her as the widow they have go often seen. The
character Is not overdrawn, but such one as
can readily be named in a hundred different
communities. The widow is ever on the loo k
out for second husband, and her charms are
fully set forth by herself TO the amusement of
the audience. In her struggles to capture that
husband she brings her batteries to bear upon
Tin Crane and Elder Sniffles, and the scenes
where the courtship occurs-the counting being
principally done by the widows irresistibly
funny. Although she loses Crane, she sur
rounds the parson and captures him, consum-
mating the engagement to him in such a forci-
BILE manner, as to quite take that worthys
breath away. The Boston journal says Mr..
Neil Burgess in the character of the Widow,
presents one OF the finest bits of
character acting that has been seen in
that CITY for long time. In makeup, in
Election of voice and manner, the deception is
almost perfect He displays that unctuous hu-
NOR which is Unborn in him, and in thousand
ways excites the disabilities of his auditors.
Mr.. George Stoddart, as Elder Shadrach Sniff
ies, gave sufficient evidence that he also is an
unusually clever character actor Tim Crane,
by Harry Rich, portrayed Western character
which seems to have been drawn from among
s ,me of Nasby's cronies at the X Roads gro
Gerry. The humor and dressing of the part
W ere well represented by Annie Stoddart.
Effie st. John, Nellie Peck, Nav Taylor and
M@ssrs. Charles ). Dickson AID E. d. Tanna-
hill. The Widow Belott is without doubt the
IN st humorous piece which Manager Went
worth has placed upon the boards of the Gal
ETY. this season.
HUMPTY DUMPTY.
Humpty Dumpty, as presented by Nick
Roberts company at Portland Theatre last
night, pleased very good audience. Some of
the people advertised did not appear, but
gooo deal of fun was created by those who did.

Gave Them the Slip,


short time ago mate of vessel arrived
at Boston and was Immediately complained of
by some of the crew for Entertainment on the
voyage. Before the United States officers
could get hold of the mate he came down to
Portland, whittier the officers followed him.
The mate all along contended that there was
no ill-treatment. Arrived at Portland the
owner of the vessel happened to have another,
at this port, bound on voyage, and wished
the mate to go as captain. He went to visit
friend on Munioy Hill, and Friday last, the
officers went to the friends house to secure
him, but the mate had gone to Deering to visit
another friend. Saturday the vessel cleared,
and another captain drove down TO the wharf
to take the tug and go out with the vessel ON
her voyage. The officers were on the wharf
but seeing this captain, whom they knew, and
hearing he was going out, babe him goodbye,
wished him bon uoyage and departed. Later
they were astonished to see him return, and,
on inquiry, ascertained that while they were
bidding aim goodbye, another tug had gone
up to another wharf, taken on board the. man
they were in search of, and carried him out
side to the vessel. where he showed his orders
to the other captain, who then came ashore
while the old mate-now the new CAPTAIN
sailed off under the noses Of the officers.

The piscasaouis sle,ts Controversy.

In the United States Circuit Court yesterday
the suits known as the Piscataquis Slate suits
came up. Messrs. Clifford & Clifford of Port
land and P. II. Hutchinson of Boston, ap-
peared for Mr.. Sutherland, and Messrs. Nathan
Webb and j. Fl. Drunmond OF Portland, Dab
ney of Boston, and G. Everett of Piscata-
quis, for the defense.
The first case was bill in equity by Wm-
J. Sutherland of Chicago VS.. c. c. Chapman
of Portland. Mr.. Sutherland bought certain
tracts of land in Monson in 1875 of Albert w.
Chaplin. A note was drawn December III,
1875, in favor of Chaplin, on four months time,
for $4,000, and the property was decided to
Sutherland. In April, 1876, it was agreed as
is alleged that this note should be cancelled
and surrendered on substituting for it notes
secured by mortgage. This was done and the
substituted notes have been paid. The 3d.
600 note was not delivered up however, but IS
now in the hands of Mr.. c. G. Chapman OF
this city, The case before the court yesterday
morning was bill In equity to enJoin MI.
Chapman from transferring said note ana 10
get an order frop the court directing MIN 10
deliver it to Mr.. Sutherland. Judge Fox gave
the complainant week to file atfidavits on his
side, the respondent week for the same pur-
pose and three days for the complainant o file
atfidavits in rebuttal.
Sutherland VS.. David R. Straw and OF hers,
was case arising from motion to have 4 de-
cree entered upon certain bill in equity I'M
der an agreement between the parties for
settlement of the case. The plaintiff, Suther-
land. appears against the motion. alleging that
said agreement was conceived. and was OBJ
tanned from him by fraud, and that the de-
PENDANT, Straw, has attempted in fraud to de-
feat his interests under that agreement, and
therefore claims such decree should not be
made.
One of the conditions of the bond given by
said Straw to carry out this agreement was
that he would not, by collision and in fraud
with certain parties, attempt to avoid his agree
nent. An affidavit of one John Y. Fitchett,
one of the parties recited in the condition,
was produced, alleging that said Straw had at
tempted such collision and fraud and the
judge took all the papers and reserved his de-
cision.
In addition to these suits are two libel suits
which have not been brought up for trial. viz:
William j. Sutherland VS.. j. 7. Sprague, and
E. B. Loring VS.. j. T. Sprague. Mr.. Sprague
is a lawyer in Monson, and the suit against
him is on account of certain statements against
the compliments published in the Piscataquis
Observer and said to be lbelous. Sprague
stated that Messrs. Sutherland and Loring had
failed in the slate business and made various
other statements alleged to be false and dam
aging.
There is also suit of Sutherland VS.. Straw
for conspiracy with Chaplin, G. H. Higbee of
Boston, and others.

Deering Building Notes

number of buildings are to be put up in
different parts of the town this season, es-
pecially in Center Deering where probably
eight or ten new houses will be put up on the
new streets opened through the Forest Home
property. Elegant plans for these houses have
been made and may be seen at Messrs Rollins
& Adamss Exchange Street.
1t is proposed to build several houses on the
Philadelphia Loan plan, by which persons of
moderate means can obtain house in few
years by paying about an ordinary rent. This
plan has worked to the benefit of men OF
small means in Philadelphia and many West
ern cities, enabling people to become owners of
houses who would meyer have become such
had it not been for this benefcent plan.
