hope of ouay's friends to break the

selves from the sessions Of the legisla-
ture so that the liz he has will be n
majority OF the votes cast. The present

CURTAINS TOOK FIRE.
Cause of the Alarm from Box o.
Last Night.

Shortly before eight O'Clock last eve.
ming Special Officer Bonner while stand
ing on the southerly side of Congress
street was startled to see the flames leap
ing out of the two corner windows OF the
room ON the upper floor OF the Preble
House. Without delay the officer turned
in an alarm of fire from hox 8. He then
ran into the hotel and gave the alarm.
The fire was in room on the top floor
occupied 10y MIR. and Mrs. Bowles of New
York, who we're absent from the room
when the fire started. The curtains had
taken fire in some manner and before the
blaze was extinguished tho carpet, some
OF the furniture and the finish of the
room had been badly burned The loss is
about s75 and Manager Thomas says he is
fully covered by Insurance.. Mr.. Thomas
was inclined to believe that the fire was
started by a lighted cigar being left on
the window all but Mr.. Bowles's daugh-
ter says her father does not smoke 30 that
the cause of the fire is mystery.

PORTLAND MEN MENTIONED
For Nomination as Democratic Candi-
dste for Congress.

The Cumberland County Democrats do
not intend to sit in the background and
see the York County Democrats run away
with the nominate on for Representative
to Congress in the First District. It is
we'll enough for York County folks to
talk of William A. Roberts and other
York county SilVerites as the Democratic
candidate for Congress. but the faithful
in Cumberland county intend to put
forth claim for the honor themselves.
Among those mentioned for this nomina-
tion in this county are Hon. George Il.
Bird and Hanno W. Gage, Esq. The
Democrats In this part of the First Dis
triot are discussing the situation, and
an attempt viii undoubtedly be made 70
induce one of the two gentlemen men
toned 80 accept the nomination. II one
Of them seems willing TO aocspt it, the
Democrats of Cumberland county will
press their claim for the honor in the
Democratic District convention. There
are lively times ahead for the Democracy
of York and Cumberland counties, so it
is said.

FIRE AT wEsTBRooK.

The alarm of fire from box 30 shortly
after five o'clock Thursday afternoon
called che Westbrook fire department. to
a blaze in the two and half story house
on the Gorhan road owned and occupied
by Mr.. William Minnish. MIR. Charles
Moore,a motorman on the Portland Rail-
road company, occupied the upper tene-
mcnt.
ghe fire originated in the attic and it Is
believed to have bean caused by children
who were at play in the upper part of the
house. When the hsemen arrived the
house was filled with smoke and 1t was
difficult to locate the fire, but it was soon
discovered to be in and about trunk
which was in the attic.
Mr. Moore's furniture was nearly all
removed from the house without much
damage.
This fire was only OF short duration, but
succeeded in burning its way through the
roof before 1t was extinguished. The
damage to the building win probably be
less than $500; fully insured. The dam
age to Mr.. Moores property is almost
entirely by water.

Nothing succeeds like success, and local
theatre goers In Portland are on the
Out vive TO ascertain what 1t Is about
the Shubert company that has given 1t
success where other ventures of SINH
lar nature have failed. This excellent
company has made unprecedented rec
ords wherever Is has appeared In New
York state, and comes to this city direct
from the Star theatre. Buffalo, where
1t has enjoyed a remarkable season OF
more than 800 performances at Buffalos
leading playhouse. 1t is enthusiastically
pronounced by the press Of that city to be
superior to any organization Of its kind
in the country, and the repertoire of
metropolitan successes Is said to be the
most complete in use. During its run
here the stage will be under the expert
direction of Mr.. VIII j. Dean, who Is
acknowledged to hare no superior for
elaborate and artistic stage mountings.
A staff of artists, headed by Mr.. Robert
Brunton, will be constantly employed to
provide new scenery each week for each
new production. The members Of MIR.
Shubert's company are all well-known
in the profession and have had extensive
stock experience. A notable engagement
is anticipated at the Jefferson theatre.
THE MAINE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
The opportunity that Director Chap
man is to give the music lovers of Maine
at the Maine Festival, this season, bids
fair to eclipse all his wonderful accom-
-
for the third night of the Festival will
be the greatest musical treat which the
public OF Maine has ever had offered
them. For that matter there are few
concerts given In any city in this country
which can equal it. There are few man
ayers daring enough to give to the peo-
pie of any city, on the same programme,
Mime. Marcella Sembrioh, the greatest So
prano Of the present time. and Richard
Rurmeister, the wonderful pianist, be-.
sides other soloists and chorus and or
| chestra. 1t would be thought impossi-
BILE to give such a concert in any of the
large cities without charging much more
for tickets than it would be possible for
the average person TO ray. But Director
Chapman, in his enthusiasm and en-
deavor that Maine shall have the best
music in the country, has arranged to give
us this wonderful opportunity and at a
minimum price. Moreover he has ar
ranged that course tickets may be bought.
which shall entitle the holder to a scat
for all of the concerts at still lower
rate. 1t will therefore be possible to OBJ
tain seat for all five of the concerts at
about twice the sum whioh one seat for
Sembrioh night alone would cost. This
is privilege which everyone should take
advantage of, and 1t seems even now
that many are realizing this, as the de-
mand for seas on seats Is constantly in
creasing.. AS ID will be impossib 10 to
procure season rates after September ESD,
and as no one will be allowed to pur-
chase season tickets unless their names
are on the subscription lists, 1t behooves
every one to enter their names as soon
/. as pos slble.

FROM THE LAW COURT.
Two Rescripts Were Handed Down
Yesterday.

The following rescripts were handed
down yesterday:
Aroostook. SIS.
Moses Smargonsky vs.. Maurice S.
Klein.
Rescript-The plaintiffs claim was sus-
tained only by his own per sonal. unoor.
roborated testimony. The defendants
testimony, equally positive, was corrobor-
ated in several important particulars.
Much of the admitted conduct and acts
of the plaintiff were inconsistent with
his testimony. We feel that the verdict
was wrong.
Motion sustained. New trial granted.
Penobscot, IS.
Lewis Cowan VS.. The Bangor, Orono
and Oldtown Railway company.
Rescript, Strout. J.-It is the opinion
of the court that the evidence justified
the verdict for defendant. While it was
contradictory. its weight and reliability
were solely for the jury to consider, and
we cannot say that their conclusion Ii
wrong. Most of the newly discovered evil
dence might have been and should have
been known to plaintiff II he had use5
due diligence in preparing his casa, and
the remainder Is not deemed OF sufficient
importance to require another tri al.
introduced, We do not feel that IL would
probably change the result.
Both motions overruled.

DID IT'S WORK WELL.
And the Committee WIN Turn Ovei
$500 Back Into the Treasury.

The record for expendipg money appro-
priated by the city for celebration or en-
tertainment purposes, has been broken.
The committee which managed its
affairs SO well as to have money to turn
back into the city treasury when the
work was completed, was the one recently
created by the city council for the pur.
pose of suitably entertaining the North
Atlantic squadron on its recent visit to
Portland.
The original appropriation for this en-
tertainment was s25e0. With this amount
and that which was collected by the COM
mittee from the railroads, one Of the
most successful celebrations Portland has
ever known was carried out. The offic-
ers and men of the fleet were not only
given royal welcome to Portland, but
the citizens fully got their moneys
worth. During the few days the feet
was here thousands of people came to
Portland and left their money with our
merchants, and the excellent programme
was so we'll arranged and SO successfully
carried out that the people of this city
enjoyed every hour that the fleet wss here.
OF the s25 0 originally appropriated the
committee will turn back $3.50 into the
city treasury as the unexpsnded balance.
Tho committee which will receive the
commentator of the citizens Of Port
land was composed of Mayor Robinson,
Aldermen Noulton and Merrill. Council
men Cloudy, Dyer. Thomas and Burke.
