NO CONTESTS WITH YALE.
Harvard Men Declare the idea Absurd

New Haven, Conn, October 9.-The
announcement that Harvard will decline
to meet Yale in all athletic contests for
two years is received here as more OF less
of q joke, especially by Haryard's i've
representatives in the intercollegiate ten
mis- tournament now in progress here.
They are rooming with Yale friends on
the campus during their stay here and
this morning said they knew nothing of
Harvard's detection from rowing, base
ball and track contests with Yale. One
of them said: II don't think Harvard
has withdrawn from quite everything,
or he added, in sarcastic tone, "Prof.
Ames would have ordered us back tossHar-
vard " He said that even in case the
Harvard tennis delegation were recalled
by Prof. Ames, they would remain here
long enough to attend the reception ten
drcd them by the Yale Tennis Associa-
ton and the New Haven Lawn Club
later in the week.

Steam was put into the boilers in 9
new power house Of the Portland railroad
company for the first time yesterday, and
steam was let through one of the new
engines. Another engine will be steamed
out today.
The Portland railroad cars will
probably be started with electricity the
first of next week. The work at the
power house has caused the delay, the
setting up of such great machinery re-
quiring much time.
The Portland and Cape Elizabeth
electric people are hustling their work
right along. Their Italians were tearing
up the pavement on Market street yester-
day on the march towards Monument
square.

ISLANDER WORTH s50O0.
That Amount Moses Libby Asks OF
George w. TOwle.

A Sensational Case in Oxford County Su-
,rame Court-Prominence of the Par
ties--The Story Told.
2 Paris, October ga suit began before
the Supreme court today which has at
tracted wide interest from the prominence
of the persons involved and the peculiar
phases of the affair.
Moses M Libby sues George W. Towle
for $4,000 for slander. Both parties live at
Kezar Falls. Hon. Johu P. Swasey, ap-
peared fol the plaintiff and George +.
Clifford and Edgar f. Gentleman for the
defendant.
AS told in court, Moses NJ Libby, for
merly grocer at Lynn, Mass, came to
Kezar Falls, nine years ago and opened
q store and summer hotel. He married a
niece of the defendant, the latter being
very rich and the autocrat of the town
Domestic infilicities caused q separation
and Mrs. Libby accepted in place of her
realty Mr.. Libby's note for six hundred
and fifty dollars, secured by a mortgage
Oh the property. She gave the papers to
the defendant for safe keeping. Mr..
LOWE, Ouo uloCOfoIOu bhot -'AA.
Libby had never signed the note and
spoke to him about it. Mr.. Libby reptile
that it was an oversight and accompanied
Mr.. Towle to his store to sign. Mr.
Towle laid the note and mortgage on the
counter and while Mr.. Libby was signing
them, went to another part OF the store.
When he returned according to the plain
tiff's story he folded the note inside the
mortgage and put them in the safe; Mrs
Libby, who in the meantime had been
divorced from Mr.. Libby and remarked,
came to Kezar Falls later to settle with
Mr.. Libby. On opening the mortgage
the note was missing, and he refused to
settle unless it was produced.
Mr. Towle, so the plaintiff asserted,
became provoked and accused him OF
taking and destroying the note, and sub
sequently used his influence to drive the
plaintiff into insolvency. The defendant
asserted he never folded the note in
mortgage nor put it in safe that he did
not accuse the plaintiff of an indictable
offense, so there was no slander. and that
no action or word of his caused the
Dlaintiff'S failure.

Bath, October 9.-Early this forenoon
the dead body of Eugene Gillian was
found in the woods near his home in that
part of Phipsburg, known as West Point
On the body over the heart was found a
gun shot wound.
He was great gunner, and spent
much of his time in the woods, and the
general belief is that the cause of his
death was accidental although some are
Inclined to believe it case of suicide.
He was thirty years of age and left a
widow and five children. Coroner Ballou

ONE OF THE WOMEN

of the parish, who was there in the
capacity of spectator, completely broke
down under the strain and shed tears.
When anything was said that suited the
Alewive people they made known their
approval by hearty hand claps and amens.
Meanwhile time was speeding, and SO
was the afternoon train, which several OF
the delegates had to catch. OF the
twenty-one delegates, eleven withdrew
before a vote was reached.
Rev. S. II. Emery of Saco offered a
motion that, in view Of the diminished
number of delegates remaining, action
on the main question be postponed. The
Alewive people said nay, and the motion
was lost.
DR.. Small's motion, that in view of the
absence of evidence to prove that the
action of the Pennsylvania council Was
at fault, it be deemed inadyisable to re-
instate. met with the same fate as the
preceding motion.
At last the moderator put a motion ad
vising the Alewive church to publicly re-
1nstate it's pastor in the ministry, and it
passed by vote of seven to three, the
meeting then adjourned amid shouts o1
applause.
