Although the sun was out bright and
clear about the time the partial
eclipse was due to start yesterday aft
ernoon. few Waterville citizens tried to

for which the city is noted obscured
the fiery ball from view. a few people,
however. had taken precaution to pre-
pare smoked glass beforehand and en-
ioyed the rare spectacle. About the
time the maximum of the eclipsed was
reached, the sun had sunk beyond the
western horizon.

Judge Charles W. Atchley was called
upon to settle a quarrel between two
parties in court yesterday afternoon
and after hearing both sides Of the
case he rendered decision that he said

plain should be followed to avoid fur
Their trouble.
Mrs. Charles George was brought in
to court on warrant charging assault
and battery on Frances Stearns. Miss
Stearns and her brother had been liv-
ing in Mrs. Georges house for some
time and wanted to leave according
to the story in court. They had paid
thier, rent Of 81 a week regularly, but
at the particular time they wanted to
give up the rooms they were three
days in arrears. Mrs. George insisted
that they pay before leaving and
wanted Miss Stearns to leave her
trunk. which she would not do. Miss
Stearns' brother said that he would
stay one more night and pay in the
morning. This did not satisfy Mrs
George. and words of an unpleasant
nature passed between them and. &C.
cording to the testimony of Miss
Stearns and her brother, Mrs. George
took hold of Miss Stearns and handled
NeT 81 TOuSHIy tlldL she was injured
about the spine and the doctor had to

that she had looked through the key
hole of an adjoining room and had
heard and seen part of the trouble but
she was not very specific in her testi-
mony.
Judge Atchley rebuked all the par

warned them that he would put all of
them under bonds to keep the peace
If any further trouble resulted
He told Mrs. George that he was go
ing to find her guilty of assault and
battery. but he made this additional
agreement: Miss Stearns and her
brother were to go with Mrs. George
and take away all of their belongings
from the house and pay Mrs. George
So for the room rent and there was to
be a peaceable settlement, and then
Mrs. George was to come back and the
judge would not put the case against
her on record. The Judge warned Mrs.
Mrs. George that there had been too
much trouble reported from her place
and that the police had been there too
many times.
