swore under oath that they also voted
AT the caucus and their names had not
been marked as having voted. One or
the caucus clerks denied that the men
voted as they had stated, but the alder
men counted up the check list ana
found that there were 30 fewer names
marked on the list than there were
ballots cast. They then became satis-
fled that lne list was I'm error and de-
cided to count the votes as cast. and
this gave the election to the Brennan
men and avoided the necessity of call
ing another caucus.
The caucus was for the choice OF
members of the ward committee and
for caucus wardens and clerks. The
decision OF the aldermen was big dis
appointment 10 the O'Brien men or the
ward. but there was no appeal taken
and the matter will probably rest.

A MARVELLOUS PERFORMANCE.

Genaro and Theol. a man and a woma n
OF very pleasing personality, who are at
Keith's this week. are a remarkable pair
OF performers. They do some equilibristic
and contortion work that cannot fail to
interest even those to whom the aver
age contortionist does not appeal. They
use fun stage and a double stairway
with a platform on the top. Both on the
platform and on two chairs on the stage
the man performs several extremely dif-
hcult feats OF contortion. with the wo-
man coiled backward around his waist,
grasping her ankles with her hands TO
hold herself in place. Genaro's trick ~
bending back and picking up hand
kerchief with his teeth, while he Is
standing on two chairs, and has Miss
Theol around his waist, is n marvellous
accomplishment.
Cholly-That girl in the surf reminds
men of one Of those puzzle pictures.

A Hard Customer.


Asa Mason was brought to the county
Jail here, Monday, from Hartland by
Officer Baker of that town.
1t seems that Mason was in Hartland.
last Friday night, greatly under the in
fluence of liquor, and during the still
hours of the night broke into Fred Mar
tins barber shop and proceeded to raise
havoc with the shops furnishings. AT.
ter completing this to his satisfaction he
went out into the back room and kindled
a fire on an old sheet of zinc on the floor,
and then went to sleep. The fire soon
went out, doing little damage in the
room, although it was very narrow
escape.
In the morning, when Mr.. Martin went
to his shop he was much alarmed at
seeing the havoc which had been
wrought. He was attracted to the back
room by the smell of smoke and there
found Mason asleep on he floor. He
notified Constable Henry Baker, who
arrested and locked up Mason in the
town lookup. Trial Justice Powers of
Pittsfield was called and the prisoner
was brought before him, Friday evening.
Mason pleaded guilty and was bound
over to the April term of supreme court.
Mason has quite criminal record, hav-
ing served several terms in Jail. During
this time he made his escape from the
Auburn Jail and from the Norridgewock
Jail. He has been something of terror
to the people of Hartland and st. Adams.
