SOMERSET COURT.
September Term, Judge Chas. W. WALTON
Presiding.

SKownEGAN, Sept. 10.
Reports of referee, were filed in these
cases: Fred f. Barron vs.. Asher M. Hill
ton, Asher M. Hilton VS.. Fred f. Barron,
VIM. D. Heebner VS.. Fred E. Barron,
same VS.. same, VIM. S. Preble VS.. Uriah
Grover, and Walton ct al. vs.. Samuel
Bunker ct al.
An interesting hearing came before Judge
Walton, this forenoon. 1t was on a petit
ton for certiorari brought by A. G. Blunt
against the selectmen of Skowhegan. This
is an outgrowth of the trouble over the
assessments made by the selectmen on
sewer AUDITORS. When the Skowhegan
sewers were built, in 1898, the selectmen,
as provided by law, assessed one
half of the cost of construction upon
the AUDITORS. There was a great deal of
complaint under the assessment, and the
selectmen accordingly made, or attempted
to make new assessment. This action is
a friendly proceeding, brought with the con-
sent of the selectmen, to determine the
validity of the two assessments.
Walton & Walton appeared for the petit
toner, and Danforth & Gould for the
selectmen.
Judge Walton held that the present &C
ton was not properly brought, the petitioner
not being an aggrieved party, but gave it as
bis opinion that the first assessment was
valid, and that where the AUDITORS portion
was reduced by the second assessment he
could elect to pay the smaller sum.
: Considerable interest was manifested
in this hearing, and several
of the ATTORNEYS improyed the
opportunity to profit by Judge Walton's ex-
perience and learning and made a number
of inquiries relating to such assessments
and proceedings.
Divorces were granted as follows: Hattie
L. Foss from Elmer B. Foss for three
years desertion; Joseph Leighton, I'd, from
Alberta Leighton for three years deseftion.
The marriage of Alpheus w. Wright and
Vina M. Wright was annulled on account
of the prior marriage of the Ebelee.

Rome's Mayor Coming.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-The Italian
colony in this city is waiting patiently for
definite news concerning the proposed visit
to this city and other principal cities of the
country of Don Emanuel du Princiri Rus
poll, mayor of Rome.
According to cable advices recently
received, Prince Ruspoli had made up bis
mind to visit the United States and Canada
with his wife, who is q Boston lady, but
information as to the exact time of his
departure for and arrival in this city has
been lacking. That his honor will pay US
visit there is no doubt whatever, and until
dc finite news of his arrival is obtained,
nothing in the way of demonstration will
be planned by the Italian representatives
here. At least that is what Editor Felice
Tacci of the Italian newspaper, LEGO
italia, said, today.
just how long he will remain here is
also unknown, but it is presumed that he
will spend some little time in Boston, the
home of his esteemed wife"
AS far as the municipal authorities are
concerned, however, every thing will be
done to make his sojourn in the city as
pleasant as possible. 1t is expected that the
board of aldermen will extend to him tina,
indie Unable privilege known as the freedom
of the city, and as he is of the Italian aris-
tocracy there is little doubt that he will be
made something of social lion.
Den Ensmu.l is fine looking man OF
commanding presence, aud is about 45 year.
oil His official title is .Syndic Of Rcme.'
and his family is one of the Oldest in Italy
His son, Don Mario Ruspoli, il attached 10
the Italian embassy in Wasl ingson.

Notes.

If the weather is stormy, this forenoon,
the fair will be postponed to tie first pleas
ant weather.
Certainly Kennebec people have just
reason to feel proud of their county fair.
Ii leads them all.
The fakirs at Readtield, are as numer-
Gus as elsewhere under similar circumstan-
ces; but, seriously, what would an ag'icult-
ursl fair be without them.
Some marked improvements have been
made on the fair grounds during the past
year. A number of new stalls have been
built, the granl stand has been moved back
and the track widened nine feet for a
considerable distance around the circuit.
1t will take long while to make num-
beers on the arms of drivers as popular with
spectators on the grand stand, as the vari-
Gus colored jockey caps. If numbers are
to be used, why not have them on cloth
back grounds, of heroic size, and pin them
to the drivers backs.
Mr.. c. H. Frost who runs the fair restau-
rant is the right man in the right pl ice.

CHINA'S NAVY
Not So Formidable Since the
YaIu River Defeat.
Two Chinese Cruisers Sunk With All
ON Board.
Battle Seriously cripples the Naval Strength
Of the CeiesiiaIs.

LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Central News from Shanghai, dated Sept.
10, says: "a number of others engaged
10 the naval battle on the Yslu river ar
rived at Port Arthur with a haif-doz n war
ships badly damaged and filed with wounded
men," 4.t......
The dispatch states that Admiral Ting's
fleet left port Friday evening to convey
seven steam transports conveying large
force of troops. A number of Europeans
in the service of the Chinese admiralty ac-
companiei the troops, which were to be
landed near WHIP, from which p5iat they
were to be sent to the front. These troops
comprised some artillery, but were mostly
composed of infantry.
Nothing was seen Of the enemy until the
Chinese fleet reached south OF the Ya'u
river when a feet of japanese warships was
sighted. ThereupOn the transports were
hurried forward and the warships cleared
for action. The efforts to aud troops were
successful and most of them were gotten
ashore before tie naval hattl, b gun Chen
Yuen was tile first vessel to open fire and
was soon engaged with two Jspanese war
ships of about the same SIZE, one, of which
was supposed to have BEEN the cruiser
Chyoda. Soon all tie yes 'els of bo b
fleets were engaged. The Chinese cruis
ers Chi Yuen and King Yuen were
sunk, and GOO officers and men on board
were drowned. Only few of the men
struggling in the water were picked up.
Chayo Yung and Yang Wei, in maneuvring
for more advantageous positions, got into
shallow wat, and ran aground. The
stranded vessels were helpless under the
fire of tie big guns Of the japanese ships
and we're finally set on fire by the enemy's
shells aud became wrecks.
1t is feared some Transport ships were
sunk, including one whose troops were not
landed. The Chinese loss is estimated at
1900 killed and wounded. The japanese
loss is supposed to be 1000; more of the
Chinese officers giving an account of the
battle knew the names or size of the four
vessels of the enemy alleged to be destroyed.
Taking the Chinese best view of the battle,
it is plain the encounter resulted in seri-
ously gripping the naval strength of China.
