SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDE BoNNEY.

THuRsDAY.-In the case Of State vs. Simon
Leavitt and Israel Leavtt for the larceny of coal
and timber from the wharf of Randall s. McAllis-
ter in December, 1885, the jury after being out
four hours were unable to agree and were dis
charged from further consideration of the case.
This is the second disagreement. 1t is reported
that the jury stood six for conviction and six for
acquitta1. The respondents gave bonds for their
appearance at the September term.
G. M. Seiders, County Attorney.
d. A. Meaher for defendant.
Among the appeal cases at this term was one of
jeremiah Black for intoxication. Blacks wife
and father interceded with Judge Bonney to sqs-
pend sentence, and Black appeared and said he
had taken the pledge before the priest, had re-
solved to go to work, drink no more and devote
his earnings to his ia nily. The judge told Black
he would continue the case for sentence on his
good behavior; il he let rum alone and gave the
officers no further trouble, he would not be sem
fenced. Black promised to go to work immediate
y with his father shoveling coal and not to touch
any liquor under any pretext. That was week
ago Tuesday. Wednesday he got drunk as lord
and was sentenced to three months in jail by
Judge Gould. In the afternoon he was brought
up in the Superior Court, and Judge Bonney gave
him three months in Jail in addition to the three
he got in the Municipal Court.

Woman Suffrage.

The second parlor meeting under the aus
plces of the Maine Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton was held on Wednesday evening at the
residence of Mrs. DR.. Walter Woodman, No.
106 State street. The president, Rev. Henry
Blanchard, occupied the chair.
The first address was given by Rev. DR..
Bashford on Historical Illustrations Of the
Benefcent Progress of Democracy" Refer
ring to the new book entitled triumphant
Democracy" he showed that the author had
conclusively proved that the extension of
suffrage among men had been denounced a
hundred years ago, and that, nevertheless,
every prediction of it's failure had been seen to
be untrue. With the ballot came greater intel
ligence, power, prosperity. The opponents
of woman suffrage predict direful evils if the
ballot is given to the other half of mankind.
But why shall we fear, since history shows
the good effects of extension of suffrage
among men? The working of woman suf-
frage in Washington and Wyoming Terri
tories has converted many former oppo-
nents. DR.. Bashford read several extracts
from papers, formerly hostile, which show
how prominent men who once feared woman
suffrage, now heartily favor it.
Mrs. E. S. Osgood read bright paper on
'The Influence of Suffrage on Women in
the Home and Society,"" Men sometimes
say why do you women want the ballot
since you are already Queens of Society,"
Let men see the long procession of working
women going to stores in the early morning
in our great cities and then ask if there are
queens. Interest in history and politics will
will bn hol1o I mir qdyapC
will not make women less noble in home
and social life.
Rev. John A. Bellows paper on Suffrage
and Education" was the closing one of the
evening. Beginning with a fit quotation
from Tennyson's Princess" the paper
showed that the call to vote is summons to
learn. The results of woman education in
Vassar, Wellesley and other colleges were
dwelt upon, and wonder expressed that Har-
yard can only have an "Annex."
The Rev. DR.. Weston, speaking from his
long experience as a teacher, declared his
conviction that women in colleges were
equal and often superior to men. The cry
of ill-health is not well founded. 1t is the
doing more than men, it is the demands of
social life, and not of the regular college
curriculum which injuries health.
DR.. F. Fl. Gerrish spoke of his experience
as instructor in school of medicine. The
women students were able to pursue their
studies thoroughly and proved themselves
the peers of men.
Mrs j. f. Bashford spoke of her expert
ence at Wisconsin State University, and be-
lieved that the statistics prepared by the
alumn@ of several colleges, collated by Col.
c. D. Wright, clearly showed that women
may gain collegiate education without loss
of health.
Rev. Henry Blanchard was elected dele
gate to the New England Convention to be
held in Boston during anniversary week.
1t was announced that public meeting
will be held early in June, and that several
prominent gentlemen who have expressed
sympathy with woman suffrage by letter
will be invited to speak.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The main point of the plot of the Rag
Baby is that it puts aman, wholly ignorant
of the pharmacists science, in drug store,
where he has to keep up the appearance of
being an experienced apothecary. The fun re-
suits from his blunders and misfortunes. In
Old Sport the author has made fun OF the
sporting croze, and that character is the
principal one of the play. Old Sport is an
elderly man who, without the slightest quail
ifications for sporting life, is ambitious to
follow it, and is a great admirer of Sullivan.
Though an exaggeration,i it is not an impoSsi-
BILE caricature of a large class OF sporting
monOmaniacs. To have seen Frank Daniels
IN this character is something to remember.
The extravaganza will be produced at Fort
land Theatre tonight and tomorrow night.

accomplished fact So far between 5000 and
1000 barrels of clam bait have been pur-
chased here by Canadians, at an average
price of S. per barrel. Of this amount a
full supply for sixty vessels for one catch has
been secured within very short time. The
idea of strict enforcement of non-inter-
