The,Armenian Refugees.

Saturday, Mrs. Stevens received let
ter from white ribbon woman in Ban
gor offering acoommoda tions for two
more Armenian refugees, so that
now there are but ten to be provided
for. Arrangements have been made for
temporary home for suoh of them as
may not have other places waiting. These
quarters will be on a farm near Port
land and already Mrs. Stevens has re-
csiyed offers from farmers living near by
OF donations of milk, vegetables and
other provisions. Mrs. Stevens says thst
her understanding of the matter is that
the Armenisns will include men, women
and children. They are destitute and all
are probably ignorant of the English
lanuaRe, for Miss Frances Willard, who
is now in Marseilles helping to care for
the refugees who have reached that city,
wrote Mrs. Stevens some time ago, that
she could communicate with them only
by signs
Mrs. Stevens would be glad to receive
contributions for the Armenians who are
sent to Maine and such offerings may be
sent to 100 Free street in care of Mrs.
Stevens. When the Maine contingent
will arrive. Mrs Stevens cannot say.

An Old Servant Gives Gypsey All Her
Money.

The police are looking for a gypsy
'voodoo" woman who hypnotized SER
want of an up town family week ago
Saturday and got from her 800 of her
hard earned money. The story as told
the police was as follows. On that Sat
urday forenoon the mistress Of the house
whose name the police refuse to make
public, responded to ring of the door,
bell and found at the door tall, dark
woman evidently gypsy with child
on one arm and lot OF baskets on the
other. The gypsy asked the lady Of the
house If she could step inside and rest as
she was very tired. The kind hearted
mistress invited the woman into the
front hall way, gave her a chair and sent
an old Irish servant, who had be en- in
the family for years, to give the gypsy
woman some food. Then the lady of the
house left the pair together and went
about her work.
In the afternoon the old servant came
to her mistress in tears and said that she
had given tho gypsy woman all of her
money. 500 in all.
What did you do that fors" demand

Because she threw a charm over me
and compelled me to give 1t to her,"

ATHLETICS AT WILLARD.
Cape Elizabeth Electric Men Try Their
Skill Saturday.

About 1900 people went to Willard
beach Saturday afternoon to see the
athletic contests between two picked
teams of the employees Of the Portland
and Cape Elizabeth railroad company,
and it IL safe to say that every one was
more than satisfied with the fine exhibit
ton given.
Although she weather was somewhat
cloudy the afternoon was well fitted for
a contest of this kind and the hard,
smooth beach just suited for the events,
all of which took place there excepting
the tug of war, which occurred in front
of the casino. One team was cartained
by A. 8. Macreadie, assistant superin-
tendent, and the other by +. S. Smith.
The teams wera made up as follows:
Captain A. s. Maoreadie, P. M.

Captain B. s. Smith, Kennison, Jones,

At 8 O'Clock sharp the sports COM

victory. The long beach had been marked
Oft and flags placed at the start and fin

day.
The examination of George +. Barton
was resumed. The witness testified as
TO what he did to care for the stock at
the mill in the interim between the MS
signment and the commencement of the
replevin suit. Mr.. Dunn, the assignee.
in no way interfered with his work. He
had several times tried to get statement
from Mr.. Dunn, stating his position in
reference to the paper, and finally sue
ceeded and forwarded the statement to
Train. Smith & Co.
William o. Dorr, whose examination
was suspended Friday night, was re-
called and his examination resumed.
The witnesses stated that in the absence
of Nj. Gedney, the plaintiffs agent, he
signed the receipts for the paper. by
direction Of Mr.. Gedney. The witness
only remained at the mill for three or
four days alter the assignment. At the
time Of the service of the replevin writ
he was present and assisted. SO far as he
observed the stock was about the same
then az it was when he left soon after the
assignment; he. saw no difference.
Charles W. Wolcott, formerly in the
employ of the Bangor Pulp and Paper
company, as assistant treasurer aud treas
- -
that company. its financial condition
and its dealings with Train, Smith &
Co.
This closed the evidence in behalf of
the plaintiffs. Mr.. Woodland stated that
he deemed ID unnecessary to make any
formal opening in behalf of the defense,
the position of the defendant having been
30 fully shown during the progress of
the trial.
Charles J. Dunn, the assignee. was
then called aud testified at length to the
circumstances of the assignment and to
subsequent events. Daniel j. Mooney.
who was in the employ of the paper COM
pany at the time of the assignment, as
machinist, testified shat he never saw
any difference in the handling of the pa
per from the time the mill started up in
March, 1895, until the time of the as
signmsnt. After the assignment he was
employed by the assignee as one of the
watehmen.
James 81. Cain testified that he was
employed by the paper company as sur
veyor of logs and wood. and that he saw
no difference in the manner of handling
the paper during the time he was there,
from February, 1894, to February, 1886.
Counsel for the defense then introduced
the assgnm to the defendant and
other documentary evidence, upon which
the defense relies. The case was then
suspended to enable the plaintiffs to pro-
cure two other witnesses, whom they
were unable to find for this time, the
date of the further hearing to be fixed
later.

crowd. Picking the hammer I'D be
swung it around his head a few times
and then, as if on a pivot, he turned
and sent the hammer straight forward as
it shot from bow, measuring the dis
tan ce of 105 feet. At this there was
loud cheer and many wanted to see 1t
done again, but Mr.. Mcleod said once
was enough.
Tbs most exciting event was the tug
of war which took place in front of the
casino, where every body could get good
view. The teams were made up as fol-
lows: Frank Smith. captain; Kennison,
anchor; Jones, Foster, Morrill,, Cleaves,
Locke. A. Maoreadie, captain; Paul
Barrie, anchor; Thompson, Smith, Twit-
chel. Hunt, Cash. Peters. After the
teams had take n their positions the sig
nal was given and the struggle COM
m enced. 1t seemed as If neither team
would give, but finally Capt. Smiths
men gained about an inch and this they
kept and after strong pull brought
away with them. 1t was pretty strug-
gle and the victors were heartily cheered.
Later in the afternoon there was second
and final pull. which was also won by
Captain Smiths team.

Robbed in Chicago.

Ollie Haley, of the firm of
Haley & Russell went to Chicago
a few days since presumably to
attend the convention. Had he
been a regular attendant at the
coliseum and helped Josiah Kill
dow and other Cooke county
representatives he might have
been wiser and had more money.
But he wanted to see things
about town and started out
alone and unprotected, fell in
with thieves and in a short
while the lamb was shorn, badly
beaten up and when found by a
kind policeman was wandering
about a room like a horse i'll a
tread mill. He was taken to the
Palmer house after his wounds
were dressed.
George Russell stated last
night that no word had been re-
ceived from Haley, but no fears
were entertained for him.

Special Correspondence.
That which has excited more
coment in our little village than
anything else for "A long time
was the marriage of Prof. .Ino.
EaSley to Miss Lucille Dudley.
On the evening of the oath of
June, with only Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. Forkner present, Rev. +.
NJ. Garret married the couple.
After attending religious ser
vices they, as usual returned TO
their own homes with. neither
friends or relatives suspecting
their marriage. She at once
visited her brothers, Drs. Dud-
ley at Marysville Texas, and
the young man passed around
home seemingly as we'll content
ed as though only his sweet
heart had gone away. The min
ister and witnesses true To their
promise told no one and the
marriage was not known until
last Saturday when he brought
her to his home and introduced
her as Mrs. Easley.
The boys at once attempted a
grand charivari but every ef-
fort on their part was clever
ly evaded, and they are now
living happily together.
