evening the large hall was we'll filed
by an audience composed in part of many
of our best citizens, and as the rich full
tones of the singers were heard in their
hymns and melodies, as sung by the

proved source of inspiration. The New

MANDAMUs PETITION.
Citizens of Maine "Call Down, the Score
tary of the Interior Relative to Con-
tract-Other Washington Matters.

A petition for a writ of mandamus
against the Secretary OF the Interior was
filed in Washington, Monday, by William
II. B. Stout, Cyrus j. Hall and Isaac S.
Bangs. trading as Stout, Hall & Bangs.
The first named petitioner is resident
of Washington, the Others being resi-
dents of Maine. They state that April
81, 1888, they contracted with the Secre-
tary of the Interior, Architect of the Cap
itol and Librarian of Congress-the COM
mission in charge of the construction
of the new Congressional Library build
ing-to furnish all the stone for the cellar
or sub-basement walls of the western
portion, the Rotunda and it's connect
ions of the building for $257, 76O. They
pl oceeded to execute their contract. ex-
pending much money and mourning
heavy money responsibilities and obli-
cations. While SO engaged the entire
existing plans of the works were changed
by the government by authority of an
act of Congress of October 2. 1888. That
act provides that all loss or damage oc-
cas1oned thereby might be adjusted
and determined by the Secretary of the

A SNEAK THIEF ESCAPED.
But He will probably Be Captured Soon.

There was quite little cxoitement at the
Cumberland Club and The Sherwood Mon
day evening. Steward Nlssen, of the Club
heard strange noise in the cellar. He
went down there and a man dropped a
coat and made out through the cellar, hatch.
Nissen didn't wait to take care of the coat
but chased the, fugitive. who was a colored
man. He overlook him on Pleasant St.,
and seized him. Nissen. was pretty well
winded. Just then d Y carriage drove up
containing two men, one ofsswhom offered
to take the man to the station. Nissen
gladly accepted the offer, and the man in
the carriage who made the proposition
jumped out to seize the. colored man. The
thief drew off and, SO the man afterwards
said, hit him clip understhe eye. At all
events there is on his face the mark Of a
club. In the meantime Nissen ran into
The Sherwood and telephoned for the
olio e. Deputy Marshal Trickey was
quickly on hand with other officers. At
first it was thought the men in the carriage
were accomplces of the thief, but they ex-
planned matters to the deputy's satisfac-
ton. The colored man had in the mean
time got away but he will probably not be
at liberty long. The affair created quite a
little stir in the neighborhood.

SUPREME COURT.
Important Cases to Come on For Trial.

VI The October term of the Supreme
Judlc1alCourt opened yesterday morning,
with Judge Walton presiding. Prayer
was offered by Rev. DR.. +. Blanchard, after
which the docket was called and various
Informal matters were attended to. The
jury will come in next Tuesday.
Among the most important cases down
for trial at this term are the following:
First there are the Taussig cases, three
OF them,in which Noah W. Taussig, Fam
ME Taussig and Pauline Taussig sue
the Waldo Hotel company Tor property
which they lsot when the Waldo Hotel
at Little Chebeague was burned. They
claim that the lost of the property was
due to the negligence of the hotel COM
pany. Clarence Hale, Esq, will con-
duct the cases for plaintiffs. while the
defence will have as counsel Hon. Henry
B. CIeaves, j. B. Reed and Seth L. LARA
bee, Esq.
The libel suit of Elroy C. Davis VS..
E.W. Burbank of Fryeburg, will be tried
at this term. This is the case in whic h
the West End Hotel and Mrs. Hutohins
of Fryeburg are interested, as we'll as Mr..
Davis, for the remarks made by Mr.. Bur-
bank, it is said, were derogatory to all
those parties.
The city of Portland has several APP
pealed cases against it. the plaintiffs be-
ing Francis Fessenden, Harry M. Fessen-
den, Henry Deering and the Portland
Railroad Company. The Plaintiffs are
not satisfied with the damages awarded
them for land taken by the city on Will
son street. They claim that they were
not allowed even the. amount that the
property is taxed for under the new val
uation.
The Golchis Mining Company, corpo-
ration organized under the laws Of the
State of Maine, brings 'suit against Her
bert Parsons, western man, the late
treasurer of the company, claiming that
ne has not returned to the company all
the money in mis- hands.
There is also the suit Of Wadsworth
VS.. the Inhabitants of Gorham, for
damages. There are other cases on the
list, but these are the most important.
Probably not all of them will actually
come to trial.
