VICTORY AT LAST IN PLACE,
But Little Remains to Complete the
Monument.

Between four and five o'clock Saturday
morning the riggers, under the skil.ul direc-
ton OF Mr.. McKeown, proceeded to hoist
the principal figure of the Soldiers monu-
ment. the female statue of Victory, into
place on the pedestal. The guys were
passed across the square so that the work
could not be interrupted, the ropes were
fastened securely under the breast and
around the lower part of the statue. and
slowly and carefully the work went en-. Bv
seven o'clock the figure was in place and
without single accident to mar the occas-
ion.
The pose of the figure is good, and as has
been aptly said, is restful; there is no
straining of arms holding a sword aloft.
The eyes are raised to heaven as IL in praise
that at last the battle is over, the victory
won. Taken from any point of view in
front, the impression is most agreeable.
One thing the pedestal appears to lack and
that Is finish on the front that faces Con-
gress street. The letters carved in the gran
lite should be bronzed to bring them out in
holder relief and to correspond with the 9th
er three sides. When this shall be done.

ed States Hotel, aud the curbing, lanterns,
and low fence erected. Monument Square

to the members of the Grand Army.

DR.. w. 81. Fem. pastor of High street
church, delivered very able lecture last
evening, the subject being "How DIR. Brooks's
case concerns us ALL" DR.. Fem in begin
ming stated that the incisive utterauces of
DR.. Brooks, his broad views, his high regard
for the essentials and contempt for the triv.
ials had brought him into disfavor with an
element in the Protestant Episcopal church.
DR.. Brooks believed that Christians of all
denominations were working together insthe
cause of Christ and that all churches were
auxiliaries and that view was held by the
majority of the members of the Protestant
Episcopal church. The last two archbishops
appointed in England were men of the broad
est views. On the other hand the high
church party had narrow view and looked
upon all other churches as irregular forces.
This was the theme of discourse, enlarged
and carefully explained. An eloquent trib-
ute was paid to the noble character, brilliant
gifts and broad christianity of DIR. Brooks.

Will Sue the QffIcats.

The .Saco wheelmen-Spear and Peck
who were recently arrested in Deering for
bicycling on the sidewalks, are about to sue
Officers Clark and Marston for damages.
Two suits are to be commenced against each
of them. The suits against Marston will be
for wanton and oppressive conduct in max
ing the arrests and for assault and battery,
each in the sum of $500. The suits against
Clark will be for false imprisonment, each
in the sum of $500. The actions will be
made returnable to the Supreme Judicial
Court to be holden at Alfred, York county,
on the third Tuesd of September next. 1.
w. Parker, Esq, of Portland, is making the
writs.. Tho reason the actions were not
brought against the town is that the town is
not liable. The relation of the town to its
officers is such that the town is not only not
liable, but 1t cannot legally ratify unlawful
acts; neither can the town legally raise
money to pay the damage or defray expenses
hence the actions must be against the officers.

of excursionists to the Chautauqua grounds

full streets of Fryeburg village was greatly
enjoyed, and all the objects of special inter
est, such as the famous academy where
Daniel Webster taught school, the immens 9
boulder called Jockey Cap, etc, were pointed
out to the strangers.
The excursiOnists spent the day in roaming

out before them. The grove was never in
better condition. Picnic dinners were eaten
In the dining hall or under the spreading

are that the attendance will be very large,
many rooms having already been engaged.
