A lawsuit for the recovery of the

OF Cooney's company, in their dra-
matte efforts of last week Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, we cannot
stick to the Washington-like truth
fulness of our ways and say that it
was q success beyond allexpectation.
There are some really good points
about their work and they are with
out doubt sincere in their efforts to
give pleasing entertainment, but as
a whole it is rather light weight, with
some thing or other lacking to in
spire an audience.
The gentlemen of the Methodist So

Perry and wife were driving on the
north side OF Bridge street and a son
of DR.. Leclerc came up at moderate
speed on the south side of the street,
both heading toward Portland street.
Mr.. Perry, who has horse neither
Directum or a Robert j., conceived
the idea that young Leclerc was at
tempting to run past him, and very
foolishly whipped his horse into
keen run when nearing the head of
