THE HowE.LAvIN CONCERT.


Wednesday night was not favorable one
for the Howe-Lavin concert but notwith-
standing the disagreeable weather there was
quite good audience and certainly very
appre ciative one. The beautiful singer just
back with laurels gathered abroad cannot
have met with warmer reception than last
evening. She first appeared in the third
number and gave the aria, "Caro Nome.
Her voice is one of rare timbre, rich and
clear a. q bell and the high tones were like
those of bird in sweetness. The wonder
full fexibiliy of her voice was admirably
illustrated in the variations from the Carni-
val of Venice, while her rendering of the
Last Rose of Summer" was perhaps the
most appreciated.
Mr.. LAWN possesses q tenor voice OF
strength and excellent quality, and in the
duet with his wife there was the most happy
blending of voices that we have heard.
Sig. Campanarls baritone was one OF the
best features of the entertainment, and he
was encored again and again. The quail
ties of his voice were displayed to especial
advantage in the Barber of Seville"
Miss Won Stosch was favorite and was
obliged to respond to many encores. Mr.
Luckstone's reception was q most hearty
one, for he is an old favorite with Augusta
people.

given to the jury about II o'clock. On the
coming in Of the court in the afternoon .
verdict was rendered for the plaintiff
for SIS.
While the jury were out, the case of
Stillman A. Bates vs.. Stephen c. Watson
was taken mp and tried before the judge.
$. s. Brown for plaintiff; Webb. johnson
Webb for defendant. 1t is an action for
trespsss and the parties reside in Oakland,
on the road leading from that town to Nor
riigewock, occupying farms opposite each
other. The plaintiff says that defendant
diverted the water running naturally on
his side of the .oad, to Plaintiffs side,
by digging . trerch across the Travelled
way and along through the soil plaintiff was
cultivating, running it finally into brook,
but all being within the limits of the high
way. The defendant claims that what he
did was proper to have the way safe and
convenient, and that he did it under au-
thority of the municipal officers. The
plaintiff contends that the act was commit
ted without authority, and that ratification
was afterwards procured, but that in law
such ratification could not be bar to this
action. The testimony was concluded and
judgment rendered for the defendant.
Jennie II. Warren W. York Mutual Aid
Association. Spear & Andrews and o. B.
Clason for plaintiff; j. o. Bradbury and
George F. Haley for defendants. This is
suit on certificate of life insurance for
S250O, issued by defendants to the father
of the plaintiff, George E. Warren. late of
Farmingdale, who deceased in 1892. The
defence is Misrepresentation Of the insured
az to age, and forfeiture for the non-pay-
ment Of an assessment. The testimony on
the part of plaintiff was concluded and
counsel for defendants moved for
a non.suit on the ground that the
suit had been prematurely brought, being
commenced only 20 days after satisfactory
proof of death" had been filed with the
company, when 80 days were required, by
the contract. The plaintiffs rep'y that
satisfactory proof of death was filed more
than 80 days before suit, and that 10 days
before suit they filed simple amendment
to correct an error in the first proof. The
defendants in their claim view the time
from the amendment. The point was re-
served until morning and court adjourned.
