The Ware Murder.

, Among matters which will be
brought before the grand jury at the
present term of court is the Sarah
Ware murder case. A big array OF
witnesses has been summoned from
Bucksport, and speculation is rife as
to just what the outcome will be.
Bucksport was taken entirely by
surprise, and is away at sea in the
matter. Over that way the reopen
ing of the case is generally attributed
to W. T. Treworgy, who has figured
so prominently in it, but as matter
of fact Mr.. Treworgy has had nothing
to do with it, and probably was the
most surprised man in Bucksport
when the summonses began to ap-
pear.
County Attorney Tracy has been
working quietly on this matter ever
since last April, and believes he has
sufficient evidence to warrant bring
ing it before the grand jury. His
investigations have been on a some
what different line from all previous
ones.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1901-10-09

carried out as announced. The great
singers all appeared, and five inn
mense audiences were delighted.
Suzanne Adams, Campanari, Schu-
mann Heink, Bachelor, Miles, Bou-
ton, Often, Hirschmen - were all
there. And Ellsworth may take pride
in the fact that she furnished star
Miss Monaghan-to the famous galaxy
of artists. Her solo on Saturday
afternoon was one of the notable
features of the festival, and her debut
in oratorio on Saturday evening was a
highly creditable performance.
Already preparations for the festi-
val of 1902 are begun. Verdi's ere
quiemr is to be long work. The
Ellsworth chorus was seriously handi-
capped last year, yet it sent twenty
eight members to Bangor. There are
100 singers who ought this year to
make up this chorus, and it is sin
cerely to be hoped that they may be
got together, not only to continue the
grand work of the fall festival, but
also for the benefit each member can
derive from the study of the music
that is to be sung.

The Americas" cup is safe until
another challenger comes across the
water. The columbia" has had the
distinction of having twice defended
the cup successfully. The races this
year were the closest ever sailed for
the cup. Sir Thomas Upton has
proven himself a sportsman and a
gentleman in every sense of the
word-one with whom American
sportsmen are proud to do battle.
His acknowledgment of defeat has
the ring of the true sportsman. He
says: 81 admit frankly that l was
licked by the better boat, in a fair
and square race. / am very much
disappointed at the result, and the
only consolation / have is that /
know I've been licked by good,
honorable opponent. l know that
the wind was true and that the
Columbia won without any fluke."
