AT THE ARnORY.
Capt. Winton OF U. S. A. Artillery
Corps Reviews Cos G. and A.

While hundreds of people were en-.
joying Mrs Leslie Carriers acting In
the production OF David Belascos play,
sDu. Barry" at Polls theater, last
night, and the democrats were engaged
revising rules at the City hall, the
members of the local military compan-
les were performing their hardest work
of the season. 1t was the most impor-
tant night Of the drill season, being the
occasion OF the inspection OF Com
panies' G and A by Captain Winton OF
the U. S. A. artillery corps
The inspection wis scheduled to take
place at 8 o'clock. Ten minutes before
that time the local military boys fell
into line preparatory to the inspection.
Every member of Company G was
present and only one or two members
of Company A were absent. Captains
Fitzpatrick and Garter were In COM
n1and of their respective companies,
When o'clock arrived the galleries
We're crowded with spectators, who
were much interested in the Inspection
which followed. Owing to the late ar
rival of Captain Winton, the inspeO-
ton was postponed until that time.
Captain Winton was accompanied by
Colonel Sucher of the Second regiment.
Other officers present were Lieutenant
Colonel Geddes, Captain Q. p. Goss or
the commissary department. and Lieu,
tenant Thomas r. Kilmarttn
The men were first inspected IN
heavy marching order They wore the
blue uniform with white collar and
black necktie, and carried their haver-
sacks, canteens and knapsacks on
their shoulders. The knapsacks con-
tanned the shelter tent. tent pole. tent
sticks, blanket, poncho and overcoat
It was heavy load and the soldiers
perspired freely during the inspection.
After the men had been inspected
thus the uniforms were changed, the
khaki being substituted for the blue
Then the companies were drilled for
short time under each officer. After
these drills the companies rooms and
lockers were inspected.
Both companies made fine show
ing and their work was decidedly
pleasing to the commanding officers.

DECISION RESERVED.
Evidence all Heard in the Winestine-
acknowledgements Case.

The Winestine VS. Zigla tiki Marks
case closed yesterday afternoon In the
district court after two days hearing.
The closing scenes would make a
hermit laugh and no one semeed ito
exactly know how the case stood.
Attorney O'Neill for the plaintiff, and
Attorney Root for the defendant
claimed various things. They under
stood that Mrs Jane Tinkham had
said SO and SO and Judge Cowell un-
derstood her to have said something
else. The point was, how many times
did Mrs Winestine see her at her
home in Milford before the deed was
signed. Mrs Tinkham said she did
not know, but probably two times
before and three times after. At
torney Root was satisfied with this
answer, but Attorney O'Neill was not
How do you know it was two times
she saw YOU before the deed was
signed ?
Mrs Tinkham was not sure, but she
thought it was two times.
Didn't l tell you sc" said MI
O'Neill to Mr. Root, that she did not
say So"
but she did say so moment ago.
persisted Mr. Root.
But just now she said she did
not" answered Mr. O'Neill.
So once again Mrs Tinkham was
asked the. question and the contro-
versy was again gone over.
Judg Lowe, his clerk Miss Rose
Clerkin, and the assistant town clerk
Miss Dora Egan testified about draw.
ing up the deed and leaving it fol
record.
Then Mrs Winestine was sworn
and she said in the course of her testi-
mony that she consulted a dozen at.
torneys about her case. Mr. Root
asked her to name them, and she said
"Mr O'Neill.'
"Well 2" said Mr. Root, that's only
one"
"Only one ?" exclaimed the witness
"well / consider him as good as q
dozen," and everybody laughed.
This substantially closed the case
and decision was reserved.
The contention is over the premises
occupied by the defendant, on South
Main street. The Tnkhams sold the
property to the Winestines, and now
the latter are trying to dispossess the
defendants, notwithstanding the ex
istence of lease for five years and
an option for three more. The Wine
shines claim that because that lease
was signed only by Mrs Tinkham II
cannot stand, because she married
prior to 1877, and therefore the docu-
ment should have been signed by MI
Tinkham as well. The case will &c
to the supreme court no matter what
way Judge Cowell decides 1t, unless
an agreement is otherwise reached.
