Trouble orer Diminished House.

In a suit of interpleader that has been brought by Mrs. Magdalena A. Tlce of 248 Coffee street against The William T. Fields company and IAttor- ney George B. Hall, Mrs. Tice is en- deavoring to find out if Sic has any title in dwelling house on Sherman avenue that was left in an unfinished state by Milton E. Moore, a building contractor, who disappeared last Sep tember.
 The house was to cost $4,O0O and a first mortgage was taken by The W. T. Fields company, which advanced $11OO to Moore on Mrs. Tice's note. Attor- ney Hall obtained by transfer from Moore a second mortgage for $945 on the property. The money raised on the mortgage was turned over to Moore, but before he completed the contract he left town and has not been seen since in New Haven.
 The work on the Sherman avenue house has stopped and numerous work men employed by the missing con- tractor and lumber dealers have filed liens on the property to secure their claims against said Moore.
 Tn Mrs. Tice's suit, the question is raised whether she or the mortgage holders must stand for the loss of the money which was to go toward the new house and advanced to Moore before he left town.
 The suit is retumable to the Superior court.

Finally Settled.
Skowhegan's Municipal Building to be
Built This Season.

A very short session, less than one
half hour, was required to reach a de-
cision on the questions proposed for
action at the special town meeting OF
Monday.
Immediately after the reading of
the second article by L. l.. Walton,
who had been chosen moderator with
out opposition, two speakers, Jeffer-
son Savage and W. r. Elliott, sought
to gain the floor, the latter being first
recognized by the chair, Mr.. Elliott
at once moved that article two be
passed over. This article proposed
to rescind the action of the last town
meeting whereby $4,000 was appro
priated, in addition to the $40, 900 au-
thorized at a annual meeting, fer
municipal building, and all parties
present readily recognized that a vote
upon it would be a test vote, and
would virtually settle the fate of the
remaining articles. d. d. Strickland
moved that the check list be used in
taking the vote on passing over arti-
Gle two but this motion did not pre-
vail. Mr.. Elliott's motion to pass
over article two was then put and
carried by vote of 227 to %. S. j.
Walton made a motion to adjourn and
it was carried by a pronounced ma
jority.
This result leaves the matter of the
Municipal building just where it was
at the adjournment of the meeting of
May 9th The committee is authoriz-
ed to erect the building, under the
plans of John Calvin Stevens of Port
land, which they submitted rs part of
their report to the meeting of May 9Th.
With the $40, 900 voted at the annual
meeting May 9Th, $4,000 are avail
able for the use of the committee.
The contract for the foundation of
the Municipal Building has been
awarded to Ephraim Cowett at $500
per yard, the work to be completed
by June 25th. 1t is estimated that
there are $50 cubic yards of masonry
to be built. The work will be under

Flag Day.

About two months since James p.
Thompson became patriotic Instruc-
tori for Russell Post, his appoint
ment coming from the Commander of
the Maine Department, Grand Army
of the Republic, at the time that sim
liar appointments were made for all
the posts in the state. One of the
duties of the Patriotic Instructor is to
arrange for the observance of Flag
Day in the public schools and Mr..
Thompson, with the assistance of the
teachers and d. w. Colby, superin-
tendent of the Skowhegan schools,
has been busily engaged since his
appointment in preparing the pro-
gram which was carried out yester-
day.
All the schools in the village dis
tricts were visited yesterday after
noon by representatives of the Grand
Army. In some instances the pupils
of two departments, located in the
same building, being assembled in one
room. At each of these meetings,
whether of one school or more, a
committee from Russell Post attend
ed, the hour appointed being two
O'Clock. The exercises were much
the same in each school. The teacher
designated certain pupils to bring in a
flag and all the scholars saluted it as
it was presented before them. Fol-
lowing this patriotic songs were sung
in chorus and the representatives. of
the Grand Army made short speeches
on patriotic subjects.
Flag Day has been instituted by the
Grand Army for the purpose of teach
ing respect for the national emblem
and of otherwise fostering the spirit
of patriotism, especially among the
young.

A great question has forced itself
upon the attention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in a
town in Connecticut, and this organi
cation has asked the police to stop a
practice which they say is vicious and
degrading. A man in their town has
had trouble in making setting hens
stay on their nests, and he hit upon
the plan of soaking their corn in
whiskey before he fed it to them.
The hens become reconciled to set
ting on their nests after they have
eaten the corn, he says, and it is two
or three days before they recover
from the effects of the whiskey. He
says the hens come off the nests in
due time, the chickens are sober and
industrious, and he thinks he is en-
titled to credit for a valuable dis
covery.

Children's Evening at the Grange.

oROWneRan TRANCE ueid iOo diluudl
Children's Evening, last night, with
the usual gathering of sturdy lads and
white robed misses, the program of
recitations, songs, etc., from such
youthful performers forming the
most interesting event in the year.
1t would be impossible to say whose
little speech was the most interest
ing. Some of the very youngest, less
than four years old, could scarcely be
heard at all but their smiles, shy
GESTURES, and half timid chances, all
made up stage presence which the
most polished reader or dramatist of
mature years could never hope to
equal in attractiveness. The charact-
er sketch, given in costume, by
George Day, Harry Day and Lester
Bragg, provoked the most mirth and
applause. The children who took
part in the program occupied the
front seats while waiting for their
names to be called, and this portion
of the hall showed by it's animation,
az events succeeded each other in the
program, that the little artists as
auditors could appreciate all that
their companions were doing on the
stage.
The hall was crowded to its fullest
capacity. At the conclusion of the
exercises the children were given the
preference at the table In the banquet
nall, where ice cream and cake were
awaiting them, and it was found that
there were enough of the young peo-
pie to fill every seat. After the re-
freshments an hour was passed with
games in the upper hall In which old
and young joined.
The committee who had charge of
the evening were Mrs. Belle Thomas,
Mrs. Chas. Gardner, Miss Mabel Smi-
ley, Mrs. Matte Malbon and Mrs.
w. s. Parkman and they are entitled
to the thanks of every one for the
care with which they completed all
details of such delightful evening.
AT the next regular meeting, June
9Th, the Worthy Flora, Miss Georgia
r. Davis, will have charge of the pro-
gram. There will be degree work,
the first and second degrees.
