Mr.. ouRNEY MISSING.
The Paymaster of the Portland Rolling
Mills Has Disappeared.

Lemuel D. Quincy, paymaster at the
Portland Rolling Mills plant, has been
missing since week ago Wednesday.
and all efforts to learn of his wberea-
bouts have failed uplto date. A careful
examination of his accounts does not in
the least clear up the mystery, as thew
were found to be absolutely correct.
Mr.. Quincy has been connected with
the company for over u years, and has
always been considered an exceptionally
good man for the positions he has occu-
pied. He has not been a drinking man
and this fact makes his Disappearance
all the more strange.
1t is said that his family is tainted
with insanity, although those most in
innate with Mr.. Quincy DENY that he
has ever exhibited anything of the kind
in his intercourse with them, and it is
limited that he has wandered off some
where and will eventually turn up.
Others say that he has been in the
habit of disappearing in the past and
would be gone for two or three DAYS
when he would return to his work as if
nothing had happened. 1t is surprising
that man could SO suddenly drop out
of sight, be absent over week and not
the slightest clue as to his movements
be obtainable.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

BEFORE JUDGE HAsKELI,

Elbridge G. Bennett ct ais, VS.. Howard E.
Dyer ct ais. The plaintiffs. in equity, in 1890,
were in the occupation OF tract of land near
CaShs Corner, in Cape Elizabeth, containing
about 80 acres The defendants. Howard E.
Dyer, George M. Stanwood., and DR.. Samuel B.
Thombs having been de ,ignated as committee
OF the Cape Elizabeth Far Association to look
up andcontract for site for a ti'otting park for
the association, had some negotiations with the
plaintiffs for the purchase of this tract of land
A price OF $500 was finally agreed upon, and
an agreement drawn up by the counsel Tor the
plaintiffs and signed by them agreeing upon the
payment of that sum to lconyey to the defend
ants the tract of land The defendants took
the agreement. as the plaintiffs claim to sign
and execute, but they not only refused to
sign but refused to return it or to do anything
in regard to it; that thereupon they rendered
the defendants good and sufficient deed and
demanded the money called for by the agree
ment that the defendants refused to accept the
deed and refused to pay the money. Thereup-
on they brought this bill in equity to compel a
specific performance of the contract
The defendants admit the negotiations for the
land, and the agreement as to price, ETC.. that
after the agreement was drawn up. they took it,
up the title; that they never got any report
from him except that there was great doubt
about the titles of the plaintiffs to the land and
that the record title was insufficient, until the
commencement OF this bill. They claim that
this 'Dill cannot be maintained because there is
no equity; that the plaintiffs remedy, if any
set uD the statute of fraud.
On the part OF the plaintiff in answer to the
claim of defendants that their record title is in.
sufficient. they say that they have held undis
puted and open possession Of the property for
nearly 40 years, which gives them as good and
as ripe title as the strongest warranty deed.
They claim that the real reason thai the defend
ants refused to carry out the contract is that
during the negotiations and before they signed
the contract, the Mile Track Association was
started. which let the bottom out of the Cape
Elizabeth Fair Association as far as a trotting
park was concerned. This the defendants de-
ny. The case was heard yesterday by Judge
Haskell, who has the case under advisement.

Judge Bonney said that although the
government had the power to bind over
witnesses at the preliminary examination
for their appearance at the trial term, it
was a power that in this state had been
rarely exercised; only few times in the
fifteen years he had been upon the bench,
and in those cases it was where the wit
ness was personally irresponsible or tenn

court; that he had never known an in

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The County Fair.

The County Fair has not lost its power
to draw by any manner of means.
Scenes of New England farm life, well
staged and well acted, are among the
best paying attractions of the day. They
appeal to the great mass of theatre-goers
with remarkable force. The quaint say
ings of Miss Abigail, the slow. ways and
dry humor Of Otis Tucker, the bright,
alert ways of Taggs, the love scenes of
Joel and Sally, the keen shrewdness Of
Tim, and the gruff manner and mean
ness of Scion, makes "a County Fair
one of the greatest successes of them
all.
Last night Portland Theatre was
packed to see the play. There were no
empty seats. Many had to stand, and
some were turned away. From the first
appearance of Miss Bates as Abigail
Prue, when ripple of laughter started,
the house was convulsed with her oddi-
ties, and that ripple swelled to a roar
before the close of the act. But the
pathetic scenes received equal attention
and applause, and there was many wet
eye in the house when Miss Abigail sits
in the barn with Cold Molasses in his
stall beside her and mourns pitiably the
loss of her old family estate. OF course
the excitement was intense during the
race, and every one was happy when
Cold Molasses came out victor.

"A Temperance Town.
New Hampshire is temperance state
and so is Maine When author Chas. H.
Hoyt, who is a member of the New
Hampshire legislature and who is a
candidate for the next United States
Congress, was enabled to voice his
views on temperance, and made up his
mind to put them into the form of a
play, he made for himself not only a
temporary but a lasting fame. He wrote
"A Temperance Town." he took it about
the country, and then he brought it to
Boston. Now, the six months run in
critical Boston, has led author Hoyt to
present his satire on temperance to an
other critical audience in Portland, and
the play will be seen here with same
cast and scenery.

Caused by an Exploding Lamp.

A hanging lamp in the house of j. E.
Robinson on Park street, near York, ex-
ploded last night and set fire to the
table cloth. The blazing mass was
thrown out of the window. Then some
body sent in an alarm of fire from the
box at the corner of Park and CONNER
cial streets. It was pleasant night and
the alarm gave the people idling about
the streets something to do.

helped to make the fair, to do their
best, in each department prizes were
offered for the most deserving exhibits.

and the majority Of the people OF tn
state who have visited the fair have re-
turned with the impression that In
three departments--that Of mining
educational and woman's--the state hat
received full value. But II first reports
are full and complete, the judges have
not felt that the exhibits are very OK
cellent, because the mining exhibit re-
ceived but one award, for building
stone; but one Montana exhibit in the
woman's department has received an
award, and the educational exhibit is
not mentioned. It may be that the
final report Of the judges, or the report
OF executive Commissioner Bickford
will tell a more tiattering story. The
report OF the committee on awards
will cover over 10000 closely printed
pages, embracing as it will the reports
OF the individual judges and a review OF
the exhibits in each group.
II Montana does not get more awards
than we know Of to date, 1t will be
largely the fault OF her own citizens.
The executive commissioner and some
Of his assistants worked ~assiduously for
months before the fair opened to inter
est the people in it, but individually the
residents Of Montana did not seem to
comprehend the Importance of the en-
torprise. The stockgrowers did not pom
tribute an exhibit from this state to the
live stock exhibit; the agricultural dts
tricts, with one or two exceptions, al-
lowed the chance to call attention to
Montana's farming possibilities to go by
default; and even the miners waited
until the last moment before doing thSir
duty.
How different with othe, northwest
ern states. Washington sent her best
to the fair. and every citizen worked
not only to make an exhibit, but such
an one as would excel. The result is
that she is a big prize winner and these
awards will be used in her advertising
matter for years to come. Minnesota is
another state hat realized her oppor-
tunities and took full advantage of
them. Thirty years ago Minnesota i'm
ported nearly everything the people
used. At the Columbian exposition
that state received sixty-six awards for
twenty-one for poultry, eight for
and fifty premiums for
horses and forty-eight for cattle with
to come for dairying and other
features. In the pamphlets that state
will send broadcast over the world to
immigration these awards will
due prominence and will be
proof to the intending settlers that
has great possibilities for
the thrifty farmer.
And so tho list might be extended
embracing ~ the northwestern states.
Let us hope that when the awards are
fully known Montana, also, will have
something to show for the 100000 she
spent, and that the apathy Of the peo-
pie, after they had given the money,
will not prove that expenditure to have
been almost useless.
