port was received at Washington from
Luzon: "Schwan with column of 1726
men, 18th Infantry, battalion 4th Infan
try, with cavalry and artillery, left
Bacoor, yesterday morning, and pro-
ceeded to Novaleta. Encountered

Another report states that Monday

Dewey and General Richards.

While visiting in Washington, General
Richards was placed in some very trying
positions at times. There is strong
resemblance in the general and Admiral
Dewey and from the time he arrived in
the city until his departure, he was con-
tinually taken for the admiral On one
occasion it was very embarrassing for
him. When the procession WAS about
half through, Monday evening, the
crowd broke in and split it up. The
President and the admiral, surprising it
was finished, retired. The others III the
stand supposed the same and they too
started to go. General Richards weut
to the center of the stand to find the
Governor and he was esped by the
crowd.
They began cheering him and the gen
eral tried 10 avoid them by lodging be-
hind post, but with no success. He
then retired from the stand and started
for the hotel. Here he was followed
and his hand was continually grasped
by those following him. At the hotel
he was sure that he mistake would be
noticed, but it WAS not, and after enter
ing the office, the crowd began to gather
10 front until the police were found
necessary to clear the street that teams
and pedestrians might pass. On other
occasions whensen the street he was
taken for the admiral and had hard work
to convince them that such was not the

Musical.

The Maine Music Festival this year,
has been success and triumph beyond
all expectation and its future success
has been assured.
All true lovers of music rejoice with
Mr.. Chapman and his faithful colaborers
over the glorious achievements.
Several of the Choruses have already
reOrganized and commenced work for
the next festival, which Mr.. Chapman
intends shall surpass all previous efforts.
Melba will no doubt be the next great
prima dona with Franean Dawes ms
Basso In Elijah. The enthusiasm of the
members of Somerset Choral Society
was never greater than at the present
time and from expressions heard on all
hands there will be a large number of
new and young voices, come in with the
chorus this Friday evening to commence
the study of that beautiful Cantata "The
Rose Maiden" which Prof. Cain intends
to give early In the season as a benefit
for the society.
With such a leader as Prof. l.. B.
Cain there can be no failure of the
Somerset Choral Society. 1t is hoped
the vestry will be crowded Friday even
ing to give MIR. Cain a warm welcome
and due encouragement to the society.

animation WAS postponed and later WIS
h Id by j. F. Holman, Esq, trial Justice,
at Athens, when the respondent WAS
held for the action of the grand jury at
the present term. The jury found bill
and the Case Is now on, County Attorney
Small for the State aud w. b. Brown,
Esq, Of Hartland. for the defendant.
The evidence Of Moses \. Cleveland.
Miss NJ. s. Jones, Wayland Leighton
and others for the State WAS to the
effect that Littlefeld, the respondent,
was the person for whom Mr.. Cleveland
cashed the check.
The defense was an alihi, and the coun-
sci alluded to two pedlers who went
from Hartland TO Athens, that day, and
maintained that one of them WAS the
man who passed the check upon Mr..
Cleveland. A large number of witness
es, belonging in the town of Hartland.
testified for the defendant by which
testimony 1t appears that he WAS IN
Hartland at his home, or the home Of his
uncle, Mr.. Stedman, March l6th, the
day the otfense was committed, and that
he went from Hartlaud TO the home OF Il
Mr.. Ham, March Il, where he remained
several DAYS. Several of these witnesses
testified as to the jew pedlers passing
along over the road from Hartland to
Athens, the afternoon of March 10 h.
The defendants counsel also put in q
piece of paper bearing the names of
Page and Kaufman, which Deputy
sheriff Il. 5. Williams testified was the
Inland writing OF Abram Click, the ped.
| Ter, who, the defense held, was guilty OF
the forgery.
These two pedlers, Abram Click and
Lewis Schlosburg, were in the court
room while the evidence was being
given, the county attorney having Sc
cured indictments against them for this
same forgery. Their counsel, Mr.
Morey of the law firm, McGillicuddy &
Morey of Lewiston, is also in attend
ance, awaiting the result of the trial of
! Littlefield. The case has attracted
much interest, particularly in the two
adjoining towns Of Athens and Hartland.
1t will go to the Jury, today.
