LAST EVENINGS CONCERT.
4 Delighted Audience u the Congregational
Church-Encores the Order.

The Congregational church was well
filed, last evening, when the concert
given by some of the best local talent in
the city. assisted by people who have
gained prominence in musical circles, was
held.
1t was the first time that Mrs. Antonio
Sawyer has appeared this season in a
local concert, and the warm welcome she
received showed she had not lost any of
her ability to please. She was down on
the programme for four numbers but
even that did not entirely satisfy the au
dience, for she was recalled.
Miss Sue Winchell, though a stranger
10 Waterville audiences, at once found
favor. Her execution was remarkably
good and the tones she brought from her
cello were unusually sweet and clear.
She played at somewhat of a dsadvan-
tage from the fact that the furnishing
of the church partially stopped the reso-
nance. In spite of the disadvantages she
was given much well-deserved applause.
The local people who appeared, Miss
loist, and Miss Hortense b. Lowe, reader
proved themselves TO be fully as great
favorites as ever. Mr. Cain was particu
larly good. his one number. Creole s

Marshal Davis.

Nearly 300 gallons of beer were seizeI

is one of the largest if not the largest
seizure that has been made in this city
for many years.
The seizure was made both from the
freight house and from one of the refrig

the truck teams were busy during that
day carrying off part of the beer. They
were still at work on it at o'clock
Wednesday forenoon when Horace Pur-

tive committee of the State Civic League
and man who has always been promi-
nent in church work in the city. passed
Seeing the men at work he began to look
into the matter and as the result made a
complaint to City Marshal Davis and hal
a warrant sworn out that the stuff nigh:

The warrant was placed in the hands
of City Marshal Davis who a once wen.

original consignment remained in the car.
The remainder had either been carried 20

through the street there were but few
who had any idea of the meaning of the
work.
The seizure is said to be the largest
that has ever been made in the city.
Those who are in a position TO know the
value of the goods state that there were
between $500 and $500 worth OF bee"
seized. More than this amount had been
hauled away from the car before the
seizure was made.

THE MERCHANTS EXCURSION.
Committee Appointed to Make Arrar gements
for the Grand Outing.

At the meeting of the storekeepers
on the street, last evening, in the city
council rooms plans were talked over
for the merchants day excursion that
is to be held the first part of next
month. On account of the other events
there We're not as many present as was
wished but there We're enough to show
that the idea advanced by A. f. Merrill
is looked on in a very favora Bile man
ner.
1t was not thought necessary to make
a formal organization, but those pres
ent talked over the plans in an infor-
NAL manner. After a general discussion
it was thought advisable to appoint
committee. made up of one man from
each line of trade. There We're some
appointed who We're not present. 1t
was thought best to pick out workers
and hustlers, and the following were
placed on the committee: A. f. Mer-'
rill, chairman; S. l.. Whitcomb, w. G.
Oby. George 5. Dolloff, Hon. p. :
Head L. II. Soper, G. f. Matthews, L.
p Loud. $. l.. Lightbody. o. G.. Spring
field. Frank Written. c. II. Redington.
c. F. Johnson and DR.. J. f. Hill.
Where to so was discussed but no
definite action was taken. 1t was
thought by some that the best place
would be the Islands. That matter
will in all probability be decided by
the members of the committee who will
look after the transportation and ar
range further details.
The time Of holding the Merchants
day" was also discussed in an infor-
NAL manner. 1t was agreed that it
would be best to hold it either the first
or the second week in August. After
a little more informal discussion the
meeting adjourned, having left the
matter in the hands of the committee
who will at once go to work arrang-
ing the details.
