Home week. invitations began yesterday
morning. About three thousand adj
dresses have now been received by Secre-

The Belfast association, organized last
week is actively engaged in preparations
for the celebration. They are working TO
have the North Atlantic squadron in Bel
fast harbor on one day Of the week and
have blocked out plans for an elaborate
ball with a possible presentation of
"Pinafore" by local talent.
The Biddeford association seems 20 be
the only leavening factor of York county
and that city has failed to outline any
coherent programme. At present the as
ISOLATION has in view plan for Mer-
chants week in connection with the cele-
bration which would probably draw from
the city business men more liberal contri-
buttons than otherwise obtainable.

HARBoR NOTES.

The steamer Governor Dingley did the
biggest business in her career on her trip
from Boston Saturday and on her return
trip from this city to Boston Sunday
night. This rush was occasioned by the
large number of people from Boston who
wanted to spend yesterday which was a
legal holiday in Massachusetts,, in Port
land and also by the many Portland peo-
pie who wanted to visit Boston for the
holiday festivities. On both nights every
berth AMI stateroom was taken and it
was impossible to secure either of these
at eleven o clock Sunday
morning.
The bark Alice Reed sailed for South
Amerira yesterday. Among the arrivals

Circuit Court.

An interesting case>was argued IN the
Circuit Court Tuesday before Judge
Faulkner on motion to dissolve an in
junction. The case is that of Charles Il.
Moore VS. the Moore Printing Typewrit-
ter Company, corporation with head
quarters in Washington, D. c. Some
time ago Judge Faulkner granted an in
junction restraining certain officers of the
company from dlsposlng OF stock, and
the argument Tuesday was on motion to
dissolve the injunction. Mr.. Moore is
the inventor of typewriter and large
stakeholder in the company, and he al
leges that R. w. Montague and George
P Montague, officers and stockholders
of the company, were disposing of stock,
to his detriment. Mr.. Moore is represent
ed by Judge ]. K. n, Norton, of Alexan-
dria, Va, and Hon. Stuart w. Walker,
of Martinsburg, w. Va, and the Mon
tagues by Col. Forrest w. Brown, of this
place, and ex-Congressman Turner, of
New York. A considerable sum of money
is involved. Judge Faulkner took the
case under advisement, and yesterday
dissolved the injunction. The case will
be take n up to the Supreme Court of AP-
peals.
Wednesday, Edgar strider, was ar
ranged and pleaded guilty to the unlaw-
full cutting of ]. NJ. Miley.
The case in equity of Henry Wick &
Co. against Charles L. Dawson and wife
for the recovery of nearly $4,000 was
decided by Judge Faulkner, who gave a
decree to the plaintiffs for their claim,
which now amounts to nearly $4,000
Arguments on motions for new trials in
the cases of John Spinks and William
Dunlap, convicted at the present term
for maliciously stabbing George Lewis,
were heard-Cleon Moore and James NJ.
Mason, Jr., for the prisoners, and Col.
Forrest W. Brown for the State-and the
cases taken under consideration by the
judge. Court adjourned until next

A bulldog belonging to Mr.. Z. Frank
'Willingham, at Shenandoah Junction,
recently became very vicious, and few
days ago, aswe learn from the Shepherds
town Register. John Willingham, a son
of the former, attempted to drive the deg
from the porch, when it sprung at his
throat. John kept it off as best he could,
but the enraged animal followed up its
attack, fnally getting the young mans
wrist IN Its Jaws. The two fought their
way through the house, when the elder
Willingham seized the dog and tried to
pull it off his son. AT this point John
managed to draw revolver and fire at
the dog. Unluckily the bullet missed the
dog and struck Mr.. Willingham senior in
the leg above the knee, passing entirely
through the limb, and causing a serious
wound. The brute was finally conquered
and kicked out, and then it was discovered
that the young man had accidentally shot
his father. Johns wrist was very badly
bitten, and altogether the two men were
quite badly used up. The dog was after
ward killed.
