An Enjoyable Concert.

The free autoharp concerts given yes
to-day afternoon and evening at Cressey,
Jones & Aliens music rooms by Mr.. e.
III. Bonnell of New York were very en-
joyable and attracted large number Of
people. Mr. Bonnell is an expert player
and is the posgessor of a very pleasing
voice besides. His instrumental selec.
tions were interspersed with songs, with
autoharp accompaniment, while his ST.
lections ranged from the plantiye planta-
ton melodies to the most difficult oper-
attic selections. His descriptive songs
were we'll rendered very pleasing, while
his instrumental selections were all we'll
calculated TO show the wide raEge and
possibilities of the autoharp both for solo
work and accomplishments The follow
ing was the programme rendered last eve
uing:
Annie Laurie, Fantasia
Misersre, ii Trovatore
Old Black Joe, Variations
Valsa, Medley
Song-Oh Promise Me, Robin Hood
Selections, Descriptive Songs
Besides the above Mr.. Bonnell played
several selections by request of his an.
dience. The concert will be repeated this
afternoon aud evening, and all are in
vited to attend.

tiers complicated. 1t would be almost i'm
possible to make repairs. Mr.. May berry
said that he appeared for himself and his
sisters and they probably represented as
much real estate in the town as other
people. He wanted to say that King
James granted to Robert Trelawney
and Robert Goodyear all the land in
Guiding Cape Elizabeth. The state OF Mas
sachusetts granted certain rights to their
successors which somehow or other en-
dangered the towns possession Of the
road if they didn't watch out'' as to
what they did.
AT least that was the sentiment that
Mr. May berrysintended to convey.
Mr.. Perry said that he didn't know
that they were 10 lose the street, but if
King James or Robert Trelawney should
come over to claim the road, they'd lay
out a new one. The town had expressed
itself in favor of paving that street.
8 Now comes up this project of the railroad
which helps this movement. The petit
ion shows that the people feel that now
is a good time to go ahead with the paw
ing, since the railroad proposes to help
them.
1t was apparent that the double track
was not only convenience, but neces-
sity.
There was no opposition to the pro
posed sidings at Pleasantdale and Cash's
corner.
Mr.. Hale argued in closing for the
granting of the permission to lay the
tracks and urged that it was highly de-
sirable that it be granted Immediately,
as they could so to work better now than
at later day.

LUCKY FISHERMEN.
The Tell some Big Stories-But There Are
Mitigating Circumstances.

There is q carload standing on the
siding at Union station full of trout,
halibut, salmon, picIerel and hornpout.
They are packed in ice and are awaiting
distribution among the friends of the
four lucky fishermen who returned yes
terday from Weld Pond, viz: City Mes

Hawkes.. City Messenger Maogowan
csught the halibut. 1t was beauty and
weighed three hundred pounds. Mr..
Newcomb became envious ut Mr.. Mac
gowan's good fortune in landing the hal
ibut with Is ounce rod, and therefore
declared that he saw whale just disap-
pearing up the mouth of Spearing's
brook. 1t Is large deep brook and was
thoroughly investigated. But although
the tracks of the whale were plainly Wis
ible in the placid water, according to Mr.
Newcomb, the whale was nowhere to be
seen, having no doubt made good its es-
cape in the caves of Old Tumble Down
Mountain, from which the stream takes
its rise.
Mr.. Hawkes. insisted upon using
square block of granite for sinker, be-
cause of the great weight of this sinker
the hook was continually on the bottom
and Mr.. HAWKES. skill was rewarded
simply by hornpouts, which are very large
aud numerous OH the muddy bottom of
Weld Pond. There is no known explana-
tion for this curious method of fishing
adopted by Mr.. Hawkes..
Christopher Way, who is very clever
angler. cast his line solely for blackfish
and sea porporses, but they are still at the
pond on ice, being too heavy to bring
home.
Mr.. Hawkes. got the best salmon taken
out of there for over q year. 1t weighed
