Mr.. sWASEY PAID THE BILL.
An Odd Ending of a Case Before Judge
Robinson Yesterday.

Last Sunday George Anderson, years
old and Percy GRAHAM, years old, got
into freight car and stole quantity of
oranges belonging to Maurice Cum
mings. They were accompanied by
their distressed mothers. By reason Of
their age, Judge Robinson continued the
case for sentence but gave the boys
have themselves in future or he would
send them to Jail or the reform school.
He also admonished the mothers to have
close oversight over the boys and keep
them out of the way of temptation. Mr..
ii. W. Swasey appeared for the boys.
Marshal Triokey asked that the boys
should be sentenced TO the Reform school
and that the sentence should be suspended,
but Judge Robinson preferred to continue
the case for sentence especially as one of
the boys is under eight, and the marshal
agreed to make that recommendation.
Mr.. Cummings was represented by Mr..
Gerrish, who said that they have been
greatly troubled by boys who have stolen
a great deal from them. He thought that
larger boys are in general to blame. The
case was continued Tor sentence on condi-
tion that the property taken should be
paid for, and the parents of the boys be-
ing very poor, Mr.. Swasey paid the bill
himself.
1t was brought out in evidence that the
mother of one of the boys is obliged to
work every day in the week in order to
support her children, and could not
possibly have looked after her child. Mr..
Swasey spoke of this as one OF the things
to be deplored, but hardly to be avoided.
After the case was decided the mother
of one of the boys was overcome, and
tainted. Mr.. Swasey thought that the
leaving of car for several days on a
wharf, plainly marked as was thet case
with the car raided by the boys, was
simply placing temptation in the way of
poor boys.

the Portland Facilities For the Storage
of Coal-Allen Line People Leaving for
Montreal.
Il. +. Farnham received G letter yester-
day from c. j. & Harry Hamlin, of Viii
lage Farm, Buffalo, n. Y, who have
made 80 entries for the September meet
at RiQby, in IA out of the 16 classes. They
wroueS that Robsrt ). Nightingale and
Fantasy, will be with Geer's up. Fantasy
is looked to as possible two-minute
winner, and Robert j., has lately made
a mile in 2.O3 3.4, the fastest ever made
at this season of the year.
Mr.. Farnham has also received letter
from John G. Taylor, who is to bring
Joe Patchen to Rigby. There is now
every prospect that there will be race
between Robert j., and Joe Patchen.
Mr.. Taylor writes that his horse IL in
the very pink of condition, or in his own
words if the Rigby management twill
but give slippery track joe Patohen
will wipe Robert J. off the face of the
earth.''

leaving behind them host of friends.
Mr.. McGuigan, accompanied by two of
the Dominion line people, arrived here
at II. 45 yesterday, and remained an
hour, for they inspected the facilities here
for the storage of coal. If the decision
should be reached to add line of coal
steamers to the feet of coal schooners,
the gap between the going and returning
of the steamers of the great ocean lines
will be well bridged.
tt is understood that a large ocean
steamer is on the way here with cargo
of sulphur. Portland Is to be made the
distributing center. Rumford Falls will
call for quite large proportion of the
coming cargo.

SOUTH PoRTLAND's BRAVE
Meeting of the Soldiers and Sailors Monu.
ment Association,

We regret to say that rather a small
audience attended the public meeting of
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument
Association last evening at Union Hall,
South Portland. The small attendance
was partly due to the fact that there were
several other meetings in the village.
Edward q. Reynolds, Esq, president
of the association called the meeting TO
order at O'Clock, and in few brief re-
marks stated the object of the association
and Of the meeting called at this place.
The association was formed September
Both, 1891. The plan was originated by
Captain Albert D. Boyd who through all
the time that has elapsed has never lost
his enthusiasm for the scheme.
E. G. Reynolds, Esq.,, was chosen the
first president and N. B. knights, secre-
tary. These gentlemen have retained
their positions up to the present time and
labored hard to make the project a sue
cess. President Reynolds made short
statement of the financial condition of
the association as follows: Cash on hand,
81, 675 cash pledged. $125; total, $500.
The association proposed to erect a
monument costing about $4,000. 1t will
be about twenty feet in height with a
base eight feet square, the whole to be of
granite surmounted by the figure of a
soldier at rest. The location selected Is
the triangular lot in front of the North
| church, which is one of the finest in the
town. The committee appointed to make
further arrangements consisted of e. G.
Reynolds, ESQ.,, N. B. Knight, Captain
A. D. Boyd and J. F. Chaplin. Tt is in
tended to have the monument in place
ready to be dedicated Memorial day, 1897.
After President Reynolds statements
remarks were made by Major Green of
Bosworth Post, VIM. R. Anthoine, ESQ.,,
onelof the past memorial day orators of the
town and Past Commander K. G. Sweet
of Bosworth Post. The remarks by these
gentlemen were very interesting, and it
| is to be regretted that no more were
present to hear them. A rising vote of
thanks TO them for their kindness in at
tending the meeting closed the exercises.

were also some very fine tableaux. Ice
cream and cake was served during the
evening. The same entertainment will
be repeated tonight and all friends of the
sohoo should attend.
