Arrested for Assault.

Al man from Wellfeet, Mass, entered
Costellos store on Fore street, yesterday
and demanded $25, which he claimed he
deposited with Costello some time ago.
Costello admitted having received de-
post Of $25, but said he had paid it over
some time afterwards and took receipt.
This receipt, he said, was stolen from
him. Further more he said he paid over
the S25 to another man than the claim
ant of yesterday. and that he believed
that man was the depositor. The strang-
or was SO mad he assaulted Costello and
was pounding him we'll when Capt. Ruby
pulled him off, Then he assaulted Ru-
by. but Officer Norton took the fellow in
hand and Officer Bracket took the chap
to the station in the patrol wagon. The
man had on his person when searched, a
razor, knife, and a bottle of liquor.
Mr.. Costello's version of the loan and
returning of the moneyiis accepted as the
true one by the officers.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
J Fra Diavolo.

The Baker Opera Compony presented
the tuneful ''Fra Diavolo' in excellent
shape at Portland Theatre last evening.
Miss Dickson was heard to great advan-
tage as Zerlina, her rich melodious voice
being well suited to the music of the
part. Miss Bolton was a handsome,
stylish Lady Allcash. Joe Armand not
only made handsome Diavolo, but acted
with spirit, and his agreeable tenor had
capital chance for display in the catchy
music, and he was frequently encored.
Mr.. Wolff and MI. Ranney were most
amusing couple of thieves. Mi. Wooley
was a manly, dignifed Lord Alleash.
while Mr.. Arnold as Lorenzo, and Mr..
Ryan as Matteo, were good in their re-
spective roles. The opera was well
staged and the choruses and ensembles
given with correctness and vigor. This
afternoon 'sThree Black Cloaks" and
this evening 'sThe Reggar Student"
Fra Diavolo by the Amateurs.
Great interest is felt by our musical
public in the production of this opera by
our amateurs. George W. Horne, who
will appear as Diavolo, is no stranger in
this city, having sung in one of our
churches His. fine stage appearance
and voice we are told, easily carry his
role. The only two strangers to Port
land are Nh Herbert E. Teel of Lewis
ton and Mr.. Willard P. Noyes of Auburn,
who are both said to possess fine bass
voices and are clever in dramatic action.
The popular baritone, John P. WEIGH,
will be heard to splendid advantage in
the part of Giacomo, and in the interpo-
lated song 'Let All Obey" made famous
by Campbell, Carleton and Mcdonald.
Nettie May Morrison will easily sing
their res ective roles; in fact, Miss
Brown created a furore in the Lewiston
production. Everett P. Warehouse,
though a young singer, is admirable,
both in voice and action, and with the
bright, brilliant choruses, pretty dances
etc., will certainly score another hit for
home talent. The whole opera is under
the personal supervision of James A.
Montgomery, who staged and put on the
"Pirates of Penzance," and the success
of last year. ''Mikado." Sale of seats
opens tomorrow at Chambers music
store, and large demand from outside
cities has already been laced.
Stockbridge Entertainments Postponed.
On account of Mr.. Stockbridge's ill
ness. the entertainment to have been
given tonight by Mr.. George Riddle and
the Philharmonic Orchestra, and that of
January 18th, by Master Tyler, are post
poned until later dates.

1925 XMAS PRESENTS.
What Many Actors That Portland Knows
Received.

So many people went to. see 1902 when
it was given in Portland that they will
be interested in knowing what the mem
bers of the company got in Boston for
Christmas presents. The Journal says:
Up at the Hollis Street Theatre it just
rained diamonds. Everybody seems to
be lowered with bushel or two, more
or less, of the flashing jewels. Columbus
must have brought ship load over with
him four centuries ago Sig. Perugini
didn't record the reception of any spark
ers in his list, however. He notes a
very handsome silver antique match box,
a set of pearl studs, two silver vases and
half dozen silk night shirts.
But Miss Eileen Karl did, She got u
diamond pendant valued at $3.50, a gold
mounted satchel with toilet bottles
mounted in gold and pair of ruby and
diamond earrings. Miss Mae Branson,
s'Don Ferdinand, rejoices in turquoise
and diamond ring, very handsome
pair of solitaire two and one-half carat)
diamond screw earrings and gold
mounted purse with $500 inside. A
seasonable gift.
Miss Theresa Vaughn had a Christmas
tree in the parlors of the Hotel Reynolds,
as is her custom every year, no matter
where, from which she dispenses favors
to every member of the "1492'' company,
from Manager Rice down to the sma lest
newsboy. She received herself a per-
feet gem of a ring set with diamonds,
sapphires and pearls, something unique
and elegant. She also received diamond
necklace which excites many an envious
sigh among her companions.
Miss Marie Hilton got a genuine sur
prise in the shape of lovely pair and
phaeton. Who is the donor is a perfect
mystery.
The male members of the company
were handsomely provided for. Mr..
Kirk received an elegant solitaire dia-
mond ring from his wife. Mr.. Walton a
dressing case, Mr.. Slavin got an elegant
scarf pin set with diamonds and emeralds,
while Miss Ida Fairbanks received a beau
tiful clusterof diamonds and emerald
Comedian Ed Favor found in his stock
ing beautiful gold watch and chain
The watch is a cathedral chime repeater
with his monogram set in diamonds.
Mr.. Wadleigh got a host of valuables
and Manager Rice was showered with
congratulations and more substantial
tokens of esteem.
At the Park theatre Miss Evelyn Pol
lock received a marquise ring, and Mr.. Eu.
gene Garfield a grand piano for his New
York flat.

THE WATER CONTRACT.
The City Government Committee Do Not
Back Up the Mayor in His Move to
Terminate the Contract with the Port
land Water Company.

The committee on judicial proceedings
and claims held meeting yesterday af-
ternoon to continue consideration of the
Mayor message calling for the termina-
ton of the contract of the city with the
Portland Water Company. The Mayor
addressed the committee, stating his
view of the case The statement did not
materially differ in its argument from
the views of Mayor Ingraham
already published. At the conclu-
sion of the committees session, all
the. information obtainable was to the eff
feet that they had been unable to agree
and that report to this effect would
have to be made to the city government
This will probably cover the Mayors re-
treat from an untenable position. 1t is
understood that he has not had MAORI
ty of the committee with him in the
matter.

LORENZO KNIGHTS DEATH.
The Coroner's Jury Decide that No Blame
Attaches to the Railroad-How the
Crossing Is Guarded.


The coroner's jury to inquire into the
death of the late Lorenzo p. knight,
who was struck by a train and killed last
Friday, met at the county attorneys
room in the City Building at 10 o'clock
this morning. The members of the jury
were H. S. Clay, foreman, A. M. Floyd,
j. N. Reed, L. w. Dyer, James Parker
and Gardner Wallace. Coroner Eben Il.
Perry empanelled the jury.
Assistant County Attorney True had
charge of the inquest.
Herbert w. Rich of Portland. Eli X.
Houston, Frank Houston and Leonard
E. Pride of Deering, Charles Fl. Clifford
and William P. Knight of Falmouth,
Herbert A. Whitney, the conductor,
Alonzo Towle, the engineer, Harry E
Coleman, the fireman of the train, and
James H. Tolman were the witnesses in
the case.
The jury returned the following YER
dict:
That Lorenzo r. Knight Of Westbrook, in the
u,
Cobb's crossing, so called, in the city of Deer
ing in said county. on the 23rd day of Decem-
Der, 1892, fl m injuries received by being
struck By the engine to NO. aO9
controlled by said company, and as the teStl-
mony shows, that said railroad has complied
with the order OF the. county commits sloners
with reference TO f1agman at said Cobb's
crossing, and that the railroad company and
its employees are exOnerated from blame In the
premises.
Some time ago the municipal authori-
ties of the town of Deering made a
move to have gates erected at this cross
Jug, and carried the matter before the
county commissioners. There was con-
siderable interest in the matter and a
hearing was held at the crossing. This
crossing is on the road called in Deering
"Cobb's Lane" 1t is road running
from Aliens Corner towards and across
the Maine Central railroad, and continu-
ing to the eastern part of the town. At
the hearing the town of Deering was rep
resented by it's selectmen and by N. and
FL, B, Cieaves. The railroad was repre-
scented by General Manager Tucker and
Hon. J. H. Drummond The represent
atives of the town related the need of
the gate and spoke particularly of the
large amount of travel which passed
over the road. AS it happened there
had been a rain the night before which
had beaten the road down smooth. This
fact Mr.. Tucker alone observed. When
it came to be the turn of the railroad to
present its case he called the attention
of the commissioners to the fact that it
was IL o'clock in the forenoon and yet
that the road showed that up to that
time not man, woman, child Or vehi-
Gle had passed along the road. This ar
gument struck the county commission
ers as forcible, and they did not order
the erection of a gate, but instead pro-
vided that during the existence of the
summer time schedule the road should
maintain fiagman there. This the
road has done since. When the winter
schedule took effect he was taken off, as
is customary every winter.

Have Lectures Become a Drug ?

To the Editor of the Press
Have lectures become a drug in the
market this season? l have attended
five illustrated lectures, the last one Civ
en- by the Rev. DIR. Merrill at the Young
Mems rooms, and one of the best lee
lures of the season, and yet there were
only about four dozen people present.
Now propose that DR.. Merrill be invited
to give his interesting lecture at the
City Hall, the admission to be only 10
cents, and let the multitude come in and
fill the hall, and after expenses are paid
and a present made to DR.. Merrill, let
the balance be given to the poor. The
admission for 1000 people will amount to
$500. The small admittance fee will
give many a chance to hear and see a
fine lecture that are shut out from high
nriced lectures. REASON.
