MISTAKEN IDEN TITY.

Last spring John +. Clark bought a
wheel of Bernstein Bros, and in October
it was stolen. Tuesday Clark saw wheel
on Pearl street which had every appear
ance Of being his. Harry W. Glidden Of
No. 5 Vine street has been riding the
wheel recently and was called on to give
an explanation of how he got it. He said
chat he bought it of Bernstein Bros. Mr..
Clark was sure the wheel was his until
Mr.. Bernstein explained that both GENTLE
mon had purchased wheels of similar
make of him. Giidden bought his in
Septem Der a month before Mr.. Clark lost
his, SO it seems that Clark will have to
look further for the missing bicycle.

SUIT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES.
VIII Be Brought Against Maine Contra
Next January.


The sad case of Mrs. Eta NJ. Leavitt of
Palmyra attracts the attention of many.
Mrs. Leavitt was one of the
victims of the .Etna railroadn wreck
a year ago last August. She was removed
to her home in critical condition and
for time there was doubt as to
whether she would live for any length of
time. She has continued to survive her
injuries, however, yet up to the present
time she has been able to set up but a
few minutes al time and when she has
attempted to prolong the time 1t was to
faint away. Her spine is injured and the
physicians describe her case as con-
cussion of the spinal cord and brain in
juries. They say that had she been less
robust and possessed of u less determined
will, she must have succumbed long ago.
The Maine Central has made no over
lures looking to settlement of the case
and it has now been placed in the hands
of Ex-Governor Cleaves of Portland and
j. NJ. Sanborn. ESQ.,: of Bangor, who
will bring an action for damages in the
sum of $40, 900. The writ will be return
able at the January term of court in
Cum berland county and the case will
probably be tried at the April term if not
settled. The Leayitt family resides about
four miles from this village and the hus
band of Mr.. Leavitt has been regarded
as one of the widsawake and progressive
farmers of that town and well-to-do. For
the past two years. however, his health
has been such as to preclude him from
doing much work, and the affiiction suf-
fered by the family is such as to cause
much sympathy. DR.. 81. E. Benson in
speaking of the case Tuesday stated that
Mrs. Leavitt was not free from pain at
any time and her sufferings since her in
juries have been more than one could well
imagine. Mrs Leavitt has no possible
chance for recovery and DR.. Benson likens
her case unto that Of DIR. John Gordon of
Plymouth, who was sufferer from like
injuries and for eighteen years was
obliged to lie on his back before he died.
Mrs. Leavitt is comparatively young
woman, being about thirty years OF age.
and so she may linger for years in the
condition in which she now is.

MAINE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA,

1.-THE meeting held on Tuesday at the
Falmouth hovel, the Board of Patrons of
the Maine Symphony orchestra voted to
hold one concert i'll the spring of each
year. This will keep the orchestra in trim
for better service at the Musical Festival,
for being in constant practice for their
own concert in the spring and for the
Musical Festival in the fall, they will be
in such perfect training that for the
Festival it will not be necessary to have
professional players from Boston and
other places outside Of Maine. This, he-
sides making it a purely Maine affair,
will keep up the interest in this state,
and thus tend to make the Musical Festi-
val greater success than ever.

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Several Interesting ntems Before Judge
Robinson.

In the municipal court yesterday morn.
ing several cases of unusual interest game
up.
Dana Tuttle was sentenced to three
months in jail for assault on his wife.
Lydia F. Tuttle. Mrs. Tuttle stated that
her husband had kicked and struck her
while on the street Monday afternoon,
and that he had threatened previously to
have her life. Tuttle said that his wife
was all the time harassing and scandailz-
ing him and that his actions were thus
justitiable, but the court ruled otherwise.
John W. Merrill was arraigned 1or
uttering forged checks. He was repre-
sented by e. W. Hunt. He pleaded not
guilty, waived examination and was
bound over under $780, The state was
represented by County Attorney Libby.
The next case was one against the
firm of Morgan & Merrill, the lobster
dealers, for having short Holsters in their
possession, brought by Fish Warden Crib
bin.
Mr.. Gribbin testified that he saw Mr..
pennell. who works for Morgan & Mer-
rill. on the morning of November IL, tax.
ing Holsters from a oar in Commercial
dock. to q barrel, Mr.. Gribbin examined
the Holsters and found that 81 out Of the
barrel full of 70, were shor5 OF the legal
10 l.2 length. These were from quar-
ter of an inch to an inch short. Mr.. Crib
bin put the short Holsters into basket
and took them in Morgan & Merrill's
she'd He sent for man from Trefethen's
to see him measure the Holsters. Mr..
Murdoch Mcmillan went up and watched
the warden measure the Holsters.
Later the warden tailed the Holsters out
of the car and found SO or more short out
of 207 or aOs. Mr.. Mcmillan also saw
these measured.
MCMILLAN testified to seeing the two
lots of Holsters measured and corroborated
Mr.. Gribbin's testimony as to tho num-
Der and the length Of the Holsters This
closed the prosecution.
Samuel G. Morgan Of the firm of Nor
gan Il Merrill, was the first witnessasfor
the defense. He said that he had been IN
the lobster business for about 80 years.
He had also been !. fish warden for three
years. He buys all the Holsters for the
firm of Morgan & Merrill All Holsters
bought by him were measured and were
of legal length when bought. He claimed
that Holsters would vary in length by
frequent handling. A lobster might
vary in length from the way they were
measured. He was not satisfied with
Mr.. Gribhin's method Of holding the
Holsters in his hands while measuring
them. He didn't think that the full
length of the lobster could be shown in
this way.
There were only % Holsters in the sec
ond lot that he SAW Mr.. Gribbin throw
overheard.
Mr.. McCraig is engineer on Morgan q
Merrills smack. He saw the seizure and
saw Mr.. Gribbin throw back into the
dock the second lot of Holsters. He COUNT
ed only % or 23 in the lot.
MIR. Griffin, fisherman, stated live
lobster when handled. will not give his
natural length You have got to take o
lobster and pull his tail out straight to
get his natural length.
Judge Robinson reserved his decision
until this morning.

No one would be found on board who
