ceIved by the Committee.

Photographs Of the designs for the Sol
diers' and Sailors monument have been re-
ceived from Mr.. Simmons and were placed
before the committee by Mr.. Harry Brown
at meeting yesterday forenoon. They were
much admired and received the unanimous
approval of the committee, who instructed
Mr. Brown to inform the sculptor of their
acceptance.

lie preserved by the valor of the soldiers and
sailors of the union. 1t is a majestic and i'm
posing female figure of height of fifteen

form to the feet and having border of a
neat design. The left arm bears shield
bordered with stars and other emblematic
figures on its outer surface The left hand
within the shield holds a ohaplet of oak
leaves and acorns. The right hand rests
upon the hilt of sheathed sword A breast
plate of chain armor, with the figure OF a
spread eagle in the centre and stars encir-
cling the neck, covers the breast. The head
is crowned with the cap of Liberty and
crown of laurel. The features are Of the

The Opera House.

Thirty-four thousand dollars have been
subscribed to the opera house fund. Seven
ty-fve thousand dollars is the sum needed,
and May l, 1890, is the last day of grace. AT
that time all subscriptions will be null and
void, and the project in its popular form will
die unless the $4,000 is raised. Less than
one-half of the committees raised at the
Baxter Hall meeting have reported. A few
have had nothing to report, but the majority
have. and have either been negligent about
it or have been so busy with private affairs
that it was impossible to devote the time and
attention to the opera house that was re-
Quired. The chairmen of these committees
yesterday received circular letter from Mr..
Theodore c. Woodbury., who presided at the
last meeting of citizens, asking them to COM
plete their work, giving as much time and
energy to the matter as they can spare, and
report on or before the first day of April 1t
will then be known exactly how much mon.
ey can be raised in this way, and just a
month be left in which to secure the balance
of the $4,000.

Speedily Terminated.

Yesterday the trial of the case of Charles
w. Tolcott of Rhode Island VS.. Body Nc
Lellan & Co. of New York, was to have
come off at Rockland. The controversy
grows out of the construction of the PASSPORT
Water Works, and has once been heard be-
fore Judge Downs of Calais as auditor. The
plaintiff secured the services of Judge Ma
than Cleaves of Portland and ex-Attorney
General FL. B. Cleayes, while the defense re-
tanned the Hon. VIM. l.. Putnam of this city.
The case came to a speedy termination in
court yesterday morning. The parties with
their counsel, Hon. Henry B. Cleaves for the
plaintiff and Hon. VIM. L. Putnam for the
defendants. arrived at Rockland Wednesday
evening with their witnesses, among whom
were Hon. S. d. Leavitt, N. B. Mutt and the
municipal officers of Eastport, with several
witnesses from Rhode Island.
The defendants came into court and offer
ed to be defaulted for $1,000 interest and
costs, which were accepted at once by the
plaintiffs.

ARSON AND LARCENY,
A Gang OF Thieves Broken Up In
Scarboro.

A few weeks ago the summer cottage of
Police Ohicer Massure and Mr.. Lawton. stu
ated at Scarboro, was broken into and several
articles taken. Deputy Sheriff Cram was
caiied into the case and investigation
resulted in the bringing of several young men
Oh Scarboro before the Portland municipal
court on various charges, yesterday.
John and Alvin Getchell were arrested on
the charge of breaking and entering Massure
ana Lawton's cottage. Nothing was found
against them in this matter. John Getchell
was arraigned in the court on the charge of
stealing coat from John Fogg of Scarboro.
1etcheli eontended that he found the coat in
the road, that he hungit on the forks of
tree near the spot where he found IL. where
IL remained several days awaiting an owner.
lie told number of people that he had
FOUND the coat. As no one claimed it after
some time, he wore it. Sentence in the case
was suspended, Getchell pleading not guilty.
In the Investigation of the Scarboro mat
ter three other young men were arrested ON
a charge of breaking and entering Frank
Morse's cottage at Prout's Neck a year ago.
and stealing property from the cottage. One
OF the men, j. E. Sanborn, of Scarboro, was
before the court on this charge, pleaded
guilty and was bound over in the sum of
$500. He was also arraigned on a charge of
setting fire to the Black Rock House, Scar
boro, in 1888. when it was uno coupled, ex-
cept by parties who sojourned there tenn
porarily, during the day, the house burning
to the ground. TO this charge re pleaded
not guilty, waived examination and was
ordered to recognize in $500 bonds, for his
appearance at the next term of the Superior
Court. Other parties. who appear to have
been equally culpable with Sanborn, will
probably be brought before the court in a
few days.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
AROUND THE WORLD,

AROUND THE WORLD.
An exchange, speaking of this popular
play, which will be given at Portland Thea
tire this and tomorrow evenings, says:
The dramatic company contains many
clever men and women, who played the ia
miliar parts skillfully and well; the scenery
was new and beautiful, the balets well
| planned and cleverly presented, the costumes
| were pretty and the cOlors were blended in a
most artistic manner, and the tableaux were
effective and beautiful. The specialties
which are introduced in the piece are good,
and the audience was thoroughly we'll
| pleased with the performance, judging by
the spontaneity and frequency of the APP
| plause.
Speaking of Mr.. Emmett, who will pre-
sent "Fritz in Mad House." at Portland
Theatre Monday and Tuesday next an ex-
change says:
After Saturday night next the 14th Street
| Theatre will join the long list of metropoli-
tan play-houses who will display the placard
| season." The success of Mr.. j. K Emmett
during the past three months, In spite of the
unusual hot weather, has been more than re-
markable and is probably due to this ever
popular artists magnetism and refreshing
novelty. The new songs, dances, quartettes
and glees as we'll as the strong dramatic
company and the great care and attention
paid to detail have added materially in max
Ing this engagement one of the most success
full in the history of this popular theatre.
WHO'S WHO.
The Lewiston Journal, commenting on the
company that will produce this operetta at
Portland Theatre next Wednesday evening,
says:
The comedietta, "Who's Who?" is a farce
mistaken identity. 1t is too complicated to
bear the attenuation of a description even if
1t were desirable. 1t acts WELL and while not
exactly original Is amusing. The company
musters very fine quintette, and at occa-
sions sextette, but revels in solos. topical
ditties. ballads, songs, and quartettes. Miss
Stone sang "a Summer Morning" with rare
effect. Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. Lodge repeated
some OF their successes, and Mr.. Pepper won
everybody to his singing in anumber of
solos, of which the most successful was his
