ordered the lstsor DESTROYED.

Charles +. Swett the proprietor of SWEETS
Express, was In court yesterday to claim
liquors seized sometime In June by the
liquor deputies. The deputy sheriffs testified
that they fourd the two 10 gallon kegs of
whiskey at the Boston & Maine freight
sheds. They often found liquors there with
no direction on them except the word
''Swetts." A warrant had been is
sued against Mr.. Swett's Congress street
Office and in searching they had found 10
gallon keg Of whiskey horsed up in the back
office. Mr.. SWEET told them 1t was for his
own use and they did not take it. They had
called several times since and had always
found the keg but with varying amounts of
whiskey in IL.
Gen. John j. Lynch was Mr.. Swetrs at
torney. Mr.. SWEET took the stand and testi-
fled that the whiskey seized was his prop
erty, calculated for medicinal use only. On
cross-examination he said that he made use
of the whiskey for bottling purposes. for the
cure of rheumatism. 1t had been
recommended to him by physician. He used
on an average gallon day In this way. He
paid $1.25 gallon for It, He had never sold
any liquor in any way. He denied that any
customer Of his had ever accused him of tax
ing orders for whiskey to be sent to Boston
houses and filling the orders In his back
shop. He did have some trouble with one
man who had asked him to order of certain
Boston house and he had ordered 1t from an
other. The whiskey was not of the quality
desired and he (Sweett had made a rebate 10
him when the second order was paid for
Judge Gould said he believed that the
liquor was intended for Illegal sale, either by
Mr.. SWEET or some person using his name,
and ordered 1t destroyed. Gen. Lynch en-
tered an appeal.

formances will be witnessed by crowded
houses. The Casco Bay Company have

THE GREAT SHOW TODAY.
The Barnum- Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth.

At 10 o'clock this morning, the greatest
show on earth, the Barnum-Bailey enormous
aggregation of talent, both human and ami
NAL, will parade the principal streets of this
city. In the afternoon and evening peri ,rm-
ances will be given on the grounds at Deer
ing. How can description of all the won
ders that lind habitation and a name under
those marvellous acres of canvas do Justice
to the circus as whole? 1t cannot. A
description that should do justice to each
would take the form of a three-volume novel
and lots Of pages to each volume at that. The
only thing that remains, then, is to give just
the merest hint of what the visitor may ex-
pect when once inside those white walls that
encompass wonderland.
A Portland gentleman who witnessed the
performance Of Barnum & Bailey's circus at
Bangor the day before yesterday says he
was not prepared for the treat they gave
him. The menagerie contained the finest
specimens l ever saw, he continued, and
some of the animals were new to me.
The illusions were too much for my COM
prehension and it certainly beat anything of
the kind it has ever been my fortune to see.
But the thing that created the most enthu-
siasm was the performance. or course
had seen lots of spectacles, but the Nero
show dumbfounded me. Hundreds of people
seem to come from every direction, and the
colors of all their costumes were SO beautiful
and harmonious, sat and looked, literally
lost In admiration. The ballet, too, was
way ahead of any ballet ever saw. 1t
seemed as If the stages Of hundred Leland
Opera houses had been set side by side and
all the ballots ever say had been consoli-
dated in one. And there was procession
called "Nero's Triumphal Procession" that
would have made New Orleans Mardi
Grass look tame. / thought / had seen
riding by ladies, but l never saw any that
approached the Meers Sisters; they are
simply wonderful. Speaking of the riders,
Charley Fish is there and Willie O'Dale, and
they do splendid acts, and there's little
girl contortionist. lot of Japs, some per-
forming geese, ponies, dogs, three troupes of
educated stations. some Thoroughbred
Arab stations that do a tandem manage act.
and they are beauties, too, and an aerial act
that brought down the house.
Reserved seats can be secured at Stock
bridges store on Congress street.
