given him by Mr.. Goldberg of the one
who had sold him the coat, he was con-
fident that the seller and Campbell
were one and the same. At the time
of the sale of the coat, the man who
had sold it told Mr.. Goldberg that he
was stopping at the Lawrence House.
1t was known to the police, however,
that Campbell was stopping at the
Hartford House. at the top of Rines
hill, and Saturday afternoon, Marshal
Colgan visited the house and searched
Campbell's room, the search being re-
warded by the finding of a coat lined
with sheep skin, which was afterward
identified by Oscar Friedman as one
which had been stolen, last Wednes-
day, from his furnishing store on Cony
street.
Marshal Colgan also found in the
room a suit case filled with stockings,
gloves, etc., which had doubtless been
stolen from stores in Augusta, and per-
haps Hallowell and Gardiner. In ad-

evening, at City hall, under the direc-
ton Of Prof. William r. Chapman,
was greeted by an appreciative audi
ence of music lovers, many of them
coming from the surrounding cities
and towns. The concert company.
composed of three distinguished ar
lists, was one of the finest Mr.. Chap
man has ever brought to Augusta, and
the applause, Saturday evening, prov
ed that these artists were not only dis
tinguished, but also great favorites.
The personnel of the company was;
Madame Lillian Blauvelt. prima dom
ma; John Finnegan, tenor: Jaime Over
ton, violinist; accompanied by Prof.
Chapman at the piano.
Nine. Blauvelt with her clear and
flexible voice, her personal beauty and
grace. captivated and held the audi
ence from the moment she came on the
stage. Dressed in Grecian style with
her coiffure likewise Grecian, her
beauty was we'll displayed. Her songs
were carefully chosen from the class
ical and the popular types, no song
being too majestic or none too simple
to be included on her program. All of
her numbers received great applause,
especially the simple ballads as Com
ing Thro' the Rye" AS the fifth num-
Der on the program Nine Blauvelt
sang Cherry Ripe" NH Niemand
Singer" THE Breeze That Blows the
Barley" and What's In the Air, To-
day." Her lyric quality and great
overtone were especially noticeable.
The lovers of music were enthusiastic
over her voice, and she received nu-
merous recalls.
John Finnegan. noted especially as a
singer of Irish songs, cannot be given
too much praise for his part of the
program. His unusual clear tenor
voice was very effective in such songs,
and his rendering of the song Mother
Machree," (Olcott), moved many of the
audience to tears. His tonal quality ex-
pressed great feeling, the range of his
voice was remarkably broad.
Jaimc Overton proved himself to be
phenomenal violinist. for the mas
terry which he possessed over his in
strument was little less than wonder
full The tonal quality of his pieces
thrilled the audience. who recalled him,
time and time again.
The work of Prof. Chapman at the
plano was also a treat for lovers of
good music; his touch at the keyboard

Tuesday, Dec. 16, will be the 18th
anniversary Of the big freshet of De-
cember, 1901, when there was one of
the biggest rises of water that had
been seen on the Kennebec river in
recent years. The height of water on
the freight shed on the steamboat
wharf was 13 feet and one inch. 1t
was at that time the three masted
schooner Lawrence Haines, which had
been caught in the ice when the river
closed, and was moored at the steam
boat wharf for the winter, parted her
point about opposite the steam mill,
and was only saved from drifting far
ther by the heroic efforts of Capt
Tiny Rowe, who was aboard as care
taker, and who succeeded in getting
one of the anchors overheard. The
Haines made something of record, a
few days later, by sailing back to the
wharf, where she remained for the rest
Of the winter in safety. 1t was prob
ably the first time in history that
schooner Of her size had come up the
Kennebec river at this point, under her
own sails. The little old two-master
Lugano was also wintering at Angus
ia at that time, being moored just
astern Of the Haines, but her lines
held throughout the flood, and she un-
derwent no such experience as did the
larger vessel.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY RESCRIPT.
Cumberland county. John J. Frye vs..
Equitable Life Assurance Society of the
United States. Rescript.
The plaintiff was insured by the de-
fendant under a free tontine policy dat
ed October 29, 1891, and calling for pay
ment of annual premiums for period of
20 years. The policy contained the words,
in consideration of the written and
printed application for this policy, which
Is hereby made part of this contract"
The application was not printed in or at
tached to the policy
Held: That the application was admis-
sibIe as evidence and as forming part of
the contract of issuance, and that r. 8.
Ch. 49, Sec. 104. did not preclude such ad-
mission.
If the assured failed to keep up his
payment of annual premiums the policy
provided for a paid up policy, after three
years, for as many twentieths of the
original policy as complete annual pre-
miums had been paid but the applica-
ton further provided that the assured
must return the old policy to the society,
receipted. within six months after the
date upon which the last premium in de-
fault had fallen due, otherwise the pol
icy would cease and determine and all
premiums paid should forfeit to the So
ciety. The plaintiff paid six annual pre-
miums only and when the seventh was
due he went to Mr.. Hazelton, an agent
in charge of the societys office in Port
land, "and spoke to him in regard to
not continuing the poliey'-The agent
examined the policy and said: This is
a different policy from what l thought 1t
was, this is good for as many twen-
tieths as you have paid in when 1t ma
lures, you don't need any other policy"
Held: That under the provisions of R.
S. Chap. 40, Sec. 90, this was waiver
of the return of the old policy which
was binding on the society and that the
society is now estopped to deny its la
bility under the old policy.

county and holds the office of clerk of
courts.
The case was heard by the Judge of the
superior court, who was asked by the
defendant to make a finding that the
action could not be maintained on the
ground that the capacity in which the
alleged trustee held the money was that
of public officer; and that, therefore,
there was no legal attachment of goods
and estate of the defendant in this State
and consequently no jurisdiction over
the defendant, he being a nonresident
The judge declined to so rule, but took
jurisdiction of the cause, giving judg-
ment for the plaintiff and charging the
trustee. To such rulings and refusal to
rule, the defendant took exceptions; and
thus the matter is presented to this
court.
An examination of the evidence report
ed shows the contention of the defendant
to be untenable, because the trustee was
neither holding the funds as a public
officer nor as part of his official duty.
