vile. c. F. johnson for plaintiff, City
Solicitor Waldron for defendants. This
is an action to recover the sum of $41.05
for labor. performed by plaintiff and
his team, and his minor son on the
streets of Waterville, under the direc-
ton of it's street commissioner, during
February of the present year. The
plaintiff introduced oral testimony in
support of his claim and also five pay
slips issued to him by the street COM
missioner, which call for the amount
sued for 1t appeared from the tes-
timony on the part of the plaintiff that
three of the pay slips were made out
and the name of the street commits
sioner signed to them by the wife of
the plaintiff, by authority of the COM
missioner, and two by a clerk of the
commissioner, and that they We're
given at the end of each weeks work.
1t also appeared that the plaintiff did
ment until April, after the new ad-
ministration had come in in March,
though he had presented and been
paid on slips of subsequent date:
but this he explained by saying he had
saved them to go on his tax of 1895.
He claims that the authorities refused
to Offset the slips against his tax of
'95 and threatened suit, and he was
obliged to pay cash for his tax and
bring suit on the slips.
The defendants introduced no tes-
timony bearing upon the claim of the
plaintiff but through their counsel
claimed that the facts showed it to be
fraudulent, ana that the work was
never performed. The defendants also
filed in offset the tax against plaintiff
for 1896, amounting to $500 The
court ruled as matter of law that I'M
der the statute the tax was not a
proper offset: also that it was not
proper because not authorized to be
filed by the mayor and collector in
writing. The verdict was for the
plaintiff for $4S.69.

WEYLER rs SILENT
And Reasons for Returning to Havana
Are Still Unknown.
SEINE People still Believe Ne will Get Upper
Hands 81 Patriots.

washington, Nov. 24.-No advices
official or private have reached Wash
irgton which shed any light upon the
reported return of Gen. Weyler to
Havana. 1t is believed that Gen. Wey-
ler's recent tour OF Investigation sat
isfied him that the Cuban insurgents
have resorted to their old plan q
scattering in small detacnmen's
through the provinces occupied py
them, and they were not occupying
fortified position and ready to give the
Spanish troops battle in force as Cen
weyler expected. This being tne
case. and the line of communication
still being open, it is believed that Gen.
VIEWER returned to Havana Tor
reasons best known to himself
One exclamation of his return IS
found in the early arrival in Cuba OF
the last detachment of 10000 troops
shipped from Spain, some days ago.
These troops sailed principally from
Cadiz. Barcelona and Valencia. and
the first of the number will reach
Havana, early next week.
The unusual amount of rain which
has fallen during the past few weeks
has affected active operations in the
field. but no doubt is expressed by
those familiar with the situation in
Cuba that Gen. Weyler will, within
the next six weeks, make good his
promise of driving the detached groups
of insurgents from their strongholds
into the open country where conflict
with the Spanish troops cannot be
avoided
