WESTBROOK.

John Beatty, who about--a year ago in
attempting to cross the Portland &
Rochester track in this city with team,
was struck by the engine and injured SO
badly as to necessitate the amputation of
his foot, Tuesday received from the rail
road officials s4,500 in payment of
claim against the road.
There was large audience before Judge
Tolman yesterday when j. W. Simmons
charged Mrs. Anna Harding with assault.
1t was the result of an interview between
the two parties in regard to a question as
to property claim. Mr.. Simmons said he
tried to put her out Of his office because
she was abusive, and she in turn pulled
his whiskers. Mrs. Harding denied the
charge of being abusive and said that
Mr.. Simmons flew into passion at her
demand for an account of her property;
that he struck her and when she was
driven from the horse kicked her. Miss
Lottie Harding, who accompanied her
mother at the time also made substan-
TALLY the same statement. Justice Gar
land, Joseph Hanson and II. Freeman
were the other witnesses for the defend
ant.
A. B. Moulton of Portland sswas counsel
for Mr.. Simmons and George Hopkins of
Portland appeared for the defendant.
After hearing the arguments the judge
ordered the defendant discharged.

the case Wednesday night. The place

it is the junction Of the street and rail-

It is not to be concluded necessarily
from this assault that all the tramps
are unworthy. Aldermen Aver, Satur-

they were out of work, that they had

MUSIC AND DRAMA,


Dan Mccarthy and his merry company
of Irish character delineators will be
seen at Portland Theatre tonight in a
comedy drama entitled Rambler from
Glare. This is the plot: Christie Ma
lone is supposed to have married two
women, Maggie Malone, the hero's sister,
and Bessie Courtney, and TO have
brought the two into his house without
any apparent explanation. The two
wives order each other out and have
many clashes, until they perceive that
each is wronged and Christie is villain.
Then they turn against him. Tony
Sullivan saves the record of will the
Squire and his son were plotting to dis
prove by means Of a forged will, and all
ends lovely for Tony and Rose.
A Stranger.
Such was the title of the skit given at
Portland theatre last night by the
Arthur Deming Minstrel company, ro
small audience down stairs and a good
sized house up stairs. 1t served as the
vehicle for some quite clever variety
business including mandolin sextette,
guitar solo, lightning musket drill, skirt
dancing and number of comic songs by
Arthur Deming, Miss Jasen, Harry
Myrick, Albert Gates andssothers.

On arriving at Washington it was assigned to
Bankss Corps, and was under fire for the frst
time at Winchester, Va, May 20, 1862, whore
five dismounted companies were engaged.
During the Antietam campaign 1t served IN
Pleasonton's Cavalry Division, having pre-
viously distinguished itself by cutting its way
out of Harper's Ferry passing through the
besieging lines at night and capturing some of
the enemy's trains OH the way. 1t took part
in the cavalry battle at Beverly Ford. where it
sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment on
the field Col. Davis was killed in personal
encounter in this action. AT Gettysburg the
9th fought in CANDLES Brigade. Buford's Di-
vision. During Sheridan's raids aud the Shen
andoah campaign in 1864, the 9Th served in
Wilson's (Third) Division-which division was
commanded by Custer in the final campaign of
1865. The Sth lost men in AZ battles and Skin

oars. Ia crossing the fats between the two
channels the boat dragged in the mud for
long distance, which made 1t very hard pull
ing. After reaching the shore We had a con-
sultation as to what was best to be done.
Finally we came to an agreement The boys
were to pull across the north channel and wait
about an hour; if they saw three lights from
the lighting of matches. they were to come
ashore and take me of. If no lights were
shown, they were to return to the steamer and
have the watch keep good lookout for the
three lights. It was a crude way of signaling,
but one not liable to attract attention, if the
one who was doing it held his coat open, so
that the light could only be seen directly in

beaten or made to retreat, and to fly up and
rail at other comrades because they occasionally
write disagreeable truth about certain organ
izatons. If there must be discussion, let it be
amiable; we are getting too old to be engaged
in pickering. Before the comrades make
statement they ought to be sure they are right.

soldiers who have not already acquired home
stead the grant of $50 acres. The writer is too
much of an invalid ever to think of reaping
any benefit under the present laws.
