Thursdays Concert.

Eugene Cowles, the eminent basso,
will give concert at Music Hall, Thurs
day, July 13.
Mr.. Cowles is one of the greatest
opera singers in America. He will be
assisted by Miss Glenn Priest, violiniste,
of Boston, Kingsbury Foster, reader for
the Tufts College Glee Club of Boston
and Miss Anna B. Greene, pianist.
This is the second concert that Mr..
Cowles has ever appeared i'll his native
state.
The New York Criterion says of his
work: 'In the 'Serenade' Eugene
Cowles was given thre songs that
served as some opportunity tor voice
that has more mellowness than Edouard
de Rockies and more power than Pla-
cons, and is truly one Of the most Won
derful voices ever heard on an American
stage"
The Denver Republican says, "a large
number of the audience went to hear
Mr.. Cowles sing the 'Amorai' song in
the third act and he sang it rnagnifi'
Gently. The demand for three encores
had to be peremptoriy cut off.
The Nashua Gazette says, miss
Priests playing is wonderful tor its
purity of tone, expression and technique
and the modest way in which she ap
pears brings her at once into favor with
the audience"
The Portland Express says Of the
reader, "The reading by Mr.. Foster
showed a fine appreciation of the selec
tions and were enthusiastically received.

A Tribute to Prof. Morrill,.

recent number of the Monthly
Weather Review publishes the following
tribute to Prof Park Morrill,. who died
last August. Prof. Morrill, was born in
Maiden, Ill.,, in 1860, was graduated
from Amherst in 1881 and in 1882 en-
listed in the United States Signal Corps.
After receiving several different assign
ments, in July 1898, he was made pro-
lessor OF meteorology in the Weather
Bureau and assigned to the charge of the
establishment OF the West Indian
| Weather Service. Possessed of rare
mental attainments which were develop
ed by college training and ripened by
five years OF special study and investiga-
ton, Prof. Morrill, was eminently well
equipped for most useful and even bril-
| liant career in his chosen field of work.
His last work, Floods of Mississippi"
will long be considered standard book
of reference, and he will Tor all time be

workers in the organization of the West
Indian Weather Service, service which
promises to prove OF incalcuable value
to the maritime interests of the United
States, the West Indies, and Centra
America. Mr.. Morril's work at Balti
more included the establishment of a
Mascart selfregistering apparatus foi
atmospheric electricity, and he was the
first to maintain such continuous record
in this country. In 1878 Mr.. Morrill, re-
established the Mascart apparatus at
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology He published "a First Report
upon Observations upon Atmospheric
Electricity" at Baltimore. He invented a
mechanical collector to replace the
Thompson water dropping collector or,
dinarily used in connection with the
Mascart apparatus. He also devised q
flame collector for use in cold weather
He was delegated to represent the Sigma
Service at the Exposition Universelle al
Paris in 1889 and his report shows his
familiarity with physical apparatus. Hi
also prepared several annual volumes o
daily rainfall and heights of rivers, be-
sides being a valuable contributor to tht
Monthly Weather Review.

One Way of Celebrating.

James Shea got drunk the night be-
fore the 4th and was sleeping it off in the
ditch at the north end of Main street the
next morning, when couple of fellows
were indiscreet enough to awaken him.
They were compelled to beat hasty
retreat for safety. He then looked around
Tor somebody else to scare and selected
Robert Armstrong Tor the purpose, but
bruised ear and black eye on his own
countenance were the only results of the
attack. Sighting another man, further
down the street, he drove him out Clark
avenue and down over the hill. Then he
terrorized the inmates of the Fletcher
tenement house and crossing the street
pursued Harry Carr into his residence
and kicked in the door.
About this time Shea's attention was
attracted to Alvin Flint on his way
to the store With war whoop he
started for Mr. Flint as his next victim,
and gave him the liveiest sort OF chase
down Main street, gaining on him every
moment. AS they neared p. A. Roach's
store Mr.. Flint could feel Shea's hot
breath upon his neck and his own
was about exhausted. He lodged into
the store and sought refuge behind the
counter with his pursuer close upon his
heels.
Shea kicked over lot of crockery, but
Mr.. Roach got him out of the store be-
fore any serious damage was done. The
Italian fruit dealer, Charles Newell and
several Others were engaged in brief
succession, but Sheriff Suloway soon
appeared upon the scene and with the
assistance of the Italian arrested Shea
on Prospect avenue as he was attempting
to escape.
The fellow who caused all this disturb
ance was one of the trio who were in the
Cross row on Hastings Hill last winter.
He had kept straight for several months
and the case was continued to the Deem
Der term of county court to give him a
chance to make a good record for himself.
The man who went bail for him in that
case has surrendered him up, and he is
likely to spend the summer behind the
bars.
! Fred Ivers got drunk the night before
the 4th and as consequence spent a
night in Jail and paid in fine and costs
some over $40. He was another re.
respondent charged with riotous con
duct at Mrs. Cross.

Lawn Party.

The residence of Col T. c. Fletcher
presented a charming scene on Friday
afternoon as the strains of orchestral
music invited the attention of the passer-
by. Here the hours from until were
pleasantly spent by the members of the
Woman's Club and their guests at this
their regular July meeting. 1t was
patriotic Garden Party" as was
evidenced by the elaborate display of
bunting and flags with which the lawn
was decorated. Bits of Miss Columbia
tri-colored gown were used as tiny flag
souvenirs, and the Goddess of Liberty
doffed her cap that it might be used as
trophy for the afternoon. Mrs. Belle
Fletcher, hostess, and Mrs. Rebecca Fair
banks, chairman of the social committee,
received the company as they were pre-
sented by Mrs. Florence Stafford, vice
president of the club. The day proving
fine, the attendance was unusually large,
over one hundred guest tickets having
been taken. A special pleasure was the
attendance of so many members of the
Seventy Club, who were invited by the
club through the social committee, in
whose charge was the meeting. Refresh
ments of sandwiches, ice cream and cake
were served.

A Valuable Paper:

Mrs, Mary r. p. Hatch, the authoress,
has a valuable souvenir in the bound
volumes for the year 1774 of the Boston
Evening Post and the Massachusetts
and Boston Weekly Gazette and News
Letter. 1t is quite probable that this is
one of the rarest volumes of newspapers
in the state and the reading matter of
the papers is very interesting. In the
advertising columns slaves are adver-
tised, time of sailing of barques to
London and auction sales of merchandise
/, just arrived from Europe and the Orient.
In the reading columns are protests
against the DEGREES of King George and
then replies from some of the espousers
of the Kings cause. The volume is a
reflector of the history of one of the
most critical years in our nations exis-
tence.

A Patriotic Window.

Charles 6. Braley's store window pre-
sents an interesting sight and one that
will amply repay visit. Walter w.
Husband has arranged in the foreground
a model Of Company DIS street at Chick
amagua. On one side are about 60 war
envelopes collected at Chickamagua park
by Comrade Ashton. Other relics include
a Cuban hat, machete, piece of wood
from Lookout Mountain and numerous
bullets and shells from Manzanlla. The
most valuable part of the collection is
Mr.. Ashton's set of brass buttons from
coats belonging to soldiers from every
state in the Union except Wyoming and
Massachusetts. Each button has the
coat of arms of the state and the collec-
ton was made by Mr.. Ashton while in
the service.

Escaped Electrocuti0n (?)

One day last week Walter Nicholson
was being examined in Dr. Cramton's
office with view to ascertaining whether
he was insane or not, when he sighted
some of the doctors apparatus, which
he recognized as designed for electrocut-
ing purposes. He concluded at once that
the machine was intended for his own
determination and rushed from the place
out across the street and through the
walk past the Athenaum towards Pine
hurst. The search for the man has thus
far been unsuccessful.

Accidents.

David E. Porter was injured in rather
strange manner on Monday evening.
His horse turned it's head suddenly and
the iron ring of the halter struck Mr..

painful but fortunately not serious one.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION.
Another Hearing before the Rniirond
Commis siOners.


An adjourned meeting Of the railroad
commissioners was held in the Board of
Trade rooms on Friday and was fairly
well attended by our townspeople. The
entire board were present and some por-
tion of the morning was spent in looking
over the present underpass.
The town was represented by Dunnett
& Slack, the Boston & Maine railroad
by John Young of Newport, the Lake
road by Harry Blodgett, the petitioners
by Lieut.. Gov Bates and David E. Porter.
During the first of the hearing Mr..
Bates offered as evidence a petition
largely signed by the business men ex-
pressing their preference for viaduct
as against an underpass or any other
arrangement. Messrs. Young and Dun
nett objected to its introduction and the
commissioners excluded it.
Alexander Dunnett was the first wit
ness called by Mr.. Bates. In response to
questions, Mr.. Dunnett related the par
ticulars of the accident which happened
to the late Volney Powers and himself,
when caught between the tracks with a
high. spirited horse last fall. Mr.. Dunnett
further testified that the present under
pass is not suitable for traffic in it's pres
ent condition, but improvements might
be made by which it would become safe
and efficient underpass.
Edward c. Chandler was the next
witness called in the interests of the
bridge. Mr.. Chandler testified in sub
stance that he was travelling down the
slope from Railroad street on his bicycle
when a freight train backed down the
track directly in front OF him. Mr..
Chandler was within 20 feet OF the cross
ing and undoubtedly had he continued
straight on his course would have run
into the train. However, by turning to
the left he succeeded in avoiding the
cal amity with very slight damage to
himself and wheel. He said he did not
see any fagman.
Harry Russell testified that he was
employed by some of the promoters oi
the viaduct to count the persons pass
ing daily over the present grade crossing
Wednesday, the day on which the first
count was made, from a. m. to Z p
M, he counted over 1000 people il
teams and on foot. On Saturday fol
lowing he made another count which
resulted in 1900. On cross-examinatior
of Mr.. Russell he testified that fir,
occurred on Wednesday, which probably
increased the number of pedestrians very
materially above the average.
Allen Dexter was the next witness
and testified as to the condition of the
present underpass i'll spring. Mr.. Dexter
said that it was muddy and icy during
the spring season.
civil engineer, Mr.. Sinclair of Bur
lington, was expected in the interests o
the Pittsburg Bridge Co., who were the
lowest bidders for the viaduct. Lawyer
Bates asked for a continuance of the
hearing, as no expert testimony as tC
the plan and cost OF the bridge could bt
given at this time. The continuance
was objected to on the part Of the at
tornevs for the railroad and town on the
ground that this was the second time 6
continuance had been asked for. Th'
commissioners decided, however, to con
tinue until the hearing, Tuesday, July 20

Watch Inspector.

Charles E. Simanton has been APP
pointed watch inspector for all the train
men in this vicinity on the Boston &
Maine railroad. The Boston & Maine
railroad has issued orders that every
employee in any way connected with
the train service must have his watch in
spected every six months and receive
certificate as to quality and condition.
Watches, which, when in repair will
vary but 80 seconds per week only will
be considered up to the standard. Each
employee must report to his inspector
at least once in two weeks to have the
condition of his watch noted on his GER
tihcate. The expense of these inspec-
tions will be borne by the company.
