MAINE AND THE WAR.
A Bangor Mans observations at Camp
Thomas.

A Bangor man just returned from a
visit to Camp Thomas. Chickamauga Ma
tional park, talks very Interestingly of
the prevailing conditions in that place.
He says that the most prevalent form OF
illness is typhoid fever and that man
once attacked by it is regarded by all as
being as good as dead. A peculiar condi-
tion exists in that the troops most affected
by the disease are those from Arkansas
and Mississippi.
When he left the camp last week there
were 247 cases of fever in the camp hos
pital and a number of other cases were at
the Letter hospital. so called, some dis
tance away. The Maine soldiers were, as
a rule, very healthy, only few cases OF
illness being reported among them.
In regard to the food served to the men
he says that it is good They have teef
three days out of the week, on the other
days bacon. The men have plenty of fried
onions and potatoes. Zach man Ia given
loaf of bread and pound OF meat daily.

RIVERTON PARK.

1t is only natural that the public should
go to Riverton in large numbers this
week. The Columbia vaudeville COM
pony is not an ordinary variety aggrega-
ton. 1t contains elements shown by no
other company On the road today.
Winstanley and Sullivan have succeeded
already in arousing great interest in
clog dancing, and those who have almost
forgotten the difference between Lam
cashire and soft shoe dancing are having
their memories revived and are watch
ing the exhibitions which the two artists
do with great interest. Winstanley S
clog performed while sitting is one of
the most wonderful things, so those posted
in such matters all aver, that has been
seen here for many year. Winstanley
and Sullivan have numerous contracts
already signed for some of the biggest
variety houses in the country, and they
will traverse the continent as soon as
their engagement with Mr.. German comes
to q close.
The trapeze performances by Nazoma
and Cornalla are pronounced unriyalled
by all who have seen them. There is
no question about the skill and strength
which they display. The things they do
are almost impossible Of belief, the most
striking, though perhaps not the most
difficult, being the walking across hori-
zontal ladder, hanging on the rounds by
the toes. Richard Ward, the "hobo''
oyolist has an act that is original in the
curious makeup he adopts and in the
startling tricks he does on the wheel.
Taken with the concerts by the Fadettes.
the performance at the park this week
is regarded as one of the best of the sea-

he could not deliver logs at less than 81
per Nj; that then the plaintiff s agent
offered to pay 81 and made the memoran-
DUN; that he said he would not agree to
it then, but would take it home and con-
slider it, and if he concluded to close the
trade at that price he would sign, and re-
turn the memorandum.
A few weeks afterward, the plaintiffs
agent wrote to the defendant to return
the contract. The defendant replied by
inquiring what kind OF scale the plaintiff
understood to be meant; that not having
been expressed in the writing, The
plaintiff answered that ga straight and
sound" scale was expected. The defen-
dant uade no reply to this, and did not
sign the memorandum or deliver any logs.
The question is quite difficult, each
view being supported by some ciroum,
stances, and we only having the reported
evidence without the benefit of seeing
the witnesses Both parties seem equally
positive and clear. Upon the Whole,
we do not find ourselves satisfied that the
nlnintiff has sustained by pereeptible
preponderance of the evidence, the
Affirmative of the issue.
Judgment for defendant.

LAW RESCRIPTS.

The following rescript was received yes
terday at the office of the Clerk of Courts:
Kennebec, IS.
Cushnoc Fiber company vs.. William L..
Rogers and treasurer.
Rescript, Emery, 1.-THE contract de-
clared on was for the sale and delivery
of 500 NJ of logs at 81 per M. 1t was re-
duced to writing by the plaintiffs agent
and signed by him, and the writing
handed TO the defendant to sign. He did
not sign it, but took it away, and never
did sign or return it, The first question
is whether the plaintiff was justified by
the language and conduct of the defen-
dant, in assuming that the defendant
bound himself in the matter independent
of the writing, or, stated IN other words,
whether the plaintiff should have under
stood that the defendant reserved place
for repentance until actual signature.
There were no witnesses to the oral ne
gotiations, nor did the plaintiffs agent
and the defendant meet for the purpose OF
negotiating such contract They had
met for another purpose, for adjusting
claims under prior contracts. They then
talked about the price of logs for the next
season.
The plaintiffs agent testiles positively
that the defendant specifically offered
to deliver to the plaintiff 600 NJ at the
price of 81 per M-that he at once accept
ed the offer, and made writing memo
randum of the offer and acceptances;
signed it for the plaintiff and passed it
tn the defendant for his signature; that
the latter said he would take it home to
show to his son, and would then sign 1t
and sent it back to the plaintiff agent.
The defendant testifies as positively !;
that he did not mako any offer. but only

MUsCONGuS ISLAND.

The pastor of the Seamen's Bethel of
this CITY has just returned from brief
visit to the islands where very interest
ing branch of the Bethel church is
located. This place is the scene of labor
of Captain Allen, the coastwise mission
AIRY for the few years past where he is
acting pastor, being member OF the
Bethel church, The condition of things
there is full of promise. The war scare
of the Spain did no great harm. The
people only planted the more; and the
potatoes, peas beans, pumpkins and
cucumbers smile all about the island.
Industry and enterprise are in evidence
The Holsters have shed their shells and
heightened out, and are coming very
obligingly to the rescue. A new house is
being built by Robert Osier. Both the
captains of the lobs ter steamers Carrie

are owned in Portland, are residents of

good to see how the young men are giving

pleasant to note that Captain Allen is
highly appreciated by the people of the
island, and by those of neighboring
places along the shore.
The missionary yacht Alert, has been
