evening The dancing in the evening was
success. Fifty couples formed on for the
grand march at quarter past nine. Fine mu-
sic was furnished by the Boothbay orchestra
An elegant supper was served at the Ocean
House. A large amount of fire works was
among the many pleasant incidentals of the
occasion. Sunday forenoon and evening
sacred concert was given by Calway's orches-

some sailing, others sitting in cosy places
enjoying the salt breezes, while all seemed
perfectly contented with the way they were
seeking enjoyment. There will be dancing

The Rumpus at Cobbosseecontee

The hearing at the Jail yesterday afternoon
was rather brief affair. Neither of the
Granger boys had witnessed any fracas be-
tween Henry Hersey and Britt, as both
claimed to be asleep at the time. Il appeared
in their testimony that John Granger aud
Henry Hersey had driven off in the forenoon
and secured three gallons of hard cider,
They claim to have returned about noon,
and that all drank more or less of this ceer.
Hersey testified that Britt had brought liquor
with him and that all drank of it. John
Granger declared that he knew of no liquor
carried out by his party with the exception
self A portion of this he drank before
leaving the city and the rest of il he disposed
of after reaching the lake. After being
aroused from his sleep by Bill Britt, John
had made his way in a terrified state of mind
to the mainland in a boat which had stick
in it, and which he used as motive power
Indeed, most everything in that vicinity ap-
peared to have a stick in it about that time.
William Britt, the alleged victim, had
promised the city marshal faithfully to be
present at the hearing, but failed to show
up. A diligent search failed to discover his
whereabouts.
Samuel Wellman and John Dunton both
testified to being in the vicinity at the time
of the rumpus but neither heard any shoot
ing. As matter of fact, there is no evidence
to show that shot was fired, and this part of
the Sunday rumor was dropped from the
consideration of the subject by general con-
sent. There appeared little doubt but what
the cut on Brtt's head was caused by the
broken tumbler, whether it was thrown at
him by Henry Hersey or whether he fell off
the piazza with it in the midst of potation
is unknown, and nobody but William seems
able to enlighten the public on this point
Hersey refusing to say anything about the
matter.
The whole party will be bound over to
await the action of the grand jury.
