The report of the legal affairs COM

Z. NJ. Millett is making an informal
canvass among the business men and
citizens. to see how they are inclined
toward a subscription for keeping the
streets Sprinkled next season. Truly an
attractive topic, during a February biz
zard, but summer is coming some time,
and with it lots of dust, which we want
10 keep down if We can.
The clerks ball at Norway Tuesday
evening, which is the most brilliant
social event of the year in the two towns,
was attended by good number from
south Paris. All had to go by team, as
the car was not running, and the night
was SO cold and clustering that some
STAYED at home who would have gone If
the street railroad had been in operation.

Repairs on the engine at the electric
light station were completed and the
lights again responded to the touch OF
the button Wednesday afternoon, after
five DAYS of entire darkness. \ crew OF
men were put on to shovel out the snow
that had filled in on the railroad track,
and Thursday afternoon the car was
again in commission and making regular
trips. We feel good deal better with
things in their usual condition than we
do without either street car or lights.
Quite a number of South Paris people
and a few from Norway were at Au-
burn Wednesday as witnesses in the
Harvey Tribou case, wherein, as stated
last week, DIR. A. /. Harvey of Lewiston
brought suit against Capt. +. G. Trlbou
of this place, in the sum OF $1,000, Tor
personal injuries sustained IN the col
lison on the 2lst of October, near the
Grand Trunk station in South Paris. ID.
J. McGillicuddy of Lewiston was attor-
ney for DIR. Harvey, aud Wright
Wheeler of this place for Capt. Tribou.
The trial did not occupy the whole of
the day, and before court adjourned
verdict was returned. 1t was for the
plaintiff, $4,000.
A peculiar appearance was presented
BY the iron light pole over the drinking
tub in the Square Wednesday morning.
1t was mass of ice and pendent icicles,
and as the water had flowed over the
edge of the tub all round and produced
a similar condition, the whole outfit had
a decidedly Arctic look. As there had
been no storm, people were at first puz-
zled to account for it, but the explana
ton was simple. The pole is hollow,
and the dolphin's mouth through which
the tub is kept filled having frozen up.
the pole filled and the water ran out OF
the top and down over the pole. Both
the supply and waste pipes had frozen
solid, and considerable work was done
before the fountain was again running IN
its normal condition.
The men of the Congregational church
nobly upheld their reputation as
cooks O. and walters Thursday evening"
when they served their annual supper to
a company of about two hundred.
Oyster stew, hot biscuits, pastry In great
variety, fruit, coffee, etc, made up the
menu, and everything was tirst-class
and promptly served. After the supper
an entertainment was given by Edward
j. Quinn, reader, and Mr.. Henderson,
soloist. both of Portland, with Mrs. Cora
5. Briggs as accompanist. Both the
young men were very generous with the
audience, and kept lively programme
moving. Mr.. Henderson sang a num-
Der of ballads and love songs greatly to
the pleasure of the audience, who re-
called him enthusiastically at each
appearance. Mr.. Quinn is whole show
in himself, and is equally good at NOV
ing his hearers by an appeal to their
feelings, or making them laugh at Just
the right place. Ii is question which
is better, his Irish dialect or his French
Canadian-either is about perfect. A
story can hardly be told better than he
tells it, and doubtless some OF his near
ers discovered more in some of Holman
Days poems, of which he gave several
than they had ever dreamed of before
