Nav Festival.

1t was the very good fortune of a member
of THE TINES force to attend the concerts
given in University hall, Ann Arbor, last
week under the auspices of the University
school of music. The performance of Clar-
ence Eddy on the grand memorial organ
was wonderful, and enchanted the thousands
who heard it, The concerts by the Boston
Festival Orchestra under the magnificent
leadership of Emil Mollenhauer were
greatly enjoyed. The ''Damnation of
Faust" given Saturday evening by the
Choral Union, under the direction Of Prof
A. A. Stanley, showed the great work this
most superior leader is accomplishing in a
musical way, not only for the University
and Michigan but for the whole country.
The three hundred voices were not only in
harmony but changed as by magic from the
hurrahs of soldiers to the hosannas of the
angels and theafearful grooming of the &C

took the leading parts and were repeatedly
encored. The concerts were financial
success which was not expected and which
shows the ability of the officers of the school
of music to make it one of the leading
ones of the world.

Baptist Church Contract Let.

From The Press.
The Baptist church building commit

ing engaged in receiving and acting upon
bids for the proposed new church. Eight
contractors presented propositions as fol-
lows:
Glanfeld, of Ypsilanti, $23, 1896; Crock

kegon, $4,000; Edwards of Owosso,
$4,000; Sullivan, of Lansing, $1S,SS0;
Burnett & Beswick, of Owosso, $l8,300;
Campbell & McNab, Grand Rapids,
$2l $50; Curtis & Co., Grand Rapids,
$26,134.
Special propositions were also received
from the several contractors showing the
difference in cost between the Findley
and the Owosso pressed brick, and also
as to the amount each would allow for
the constructive material in the old
building. The committee after securing
and considering these several PROPOSE
tons, voted unanimously to accept the
proposition made by Burnett & Beswick.
1t is probable that the ultimate decision
will be to use Owosso pressed brick i'm
stead of the Findley, which would re-
duce the cost upon the bid of Burnett &

Failed to Agree,

| fraud Mr.. Scoutten, of Laingsburg, by pre-
senting spurious orders on the township of
Nestor, Roscommou county, and backing
them, claiming to be worth So, 900 or 81, 900,
and then refusing to make them good, were
unable to agree after celebrating IL hours.
The testimony of the prosecution was prin-
eipally as to the representations made by
Johnson that he was worth six or seven
thousand dollars and his attempt to defraud
Scoutten by these statements. The spurious
orders were passed in various parts of the
country and amounted to large sum. The
records and other papers of the township
were burned up before any trouble about
the orders began making it practically i'm
possible to convict anybody Of crime in con-
nection with the case. Prosecutor Woodruff,
of Roscommon, defended the accused and
was the principal witness for the defense
He testified to the good character of John
son, claiming that at the time he made the
representations he was undoubtedly able to
pay the orders. The arguments by Prose-
cutor Watson and John McCurdy were
strong but Mr. Woodruff was able to create
a doubt in the minds of the jury which
stood for acquittal and 4 for conviction at
the close of their deliberations.
