Farmington, October 2. E. O. Greenleaf, administrator of the estate of Benjamin Lowell vs. George Grounder.

This was au action brought by the plaintiff as administrator tie bonis non to recover personal property formerly owned by Lowell, valued at about 84000. Tlie defendant holds title to the real estate under a deed dated November 19.1887, (one of the conditions of which was that tlie defendant should furnish care and support of Lowell and his wife during tlielr lifetime), which deed was not contested. and claimed title to the personal property under an alleged bill of sale of even date with the deed. The plaintiff attacked the hill of sale upon the ground that the name of Lowell affixed thereto Is not the genuine signature of Benjamin Lowell. The defense introduced the deed of the real estate and the alleged hill of sale, aud also the testimony of witnesses teudlug to show an arrangement between Lowell aud the defendant Just prior to decease, aud also testimony to show that the name upon the bill of sale was a genuine signature.

In rebuttal the plaintiff introduced tlie testimany of witnesses familiar with handwriting, and the testimony of Judge Chandler, of Farmington, and William K. Neal, of Portland, as experts, to show that the signature upon the alleged hill of sale was spurious. Documents were Introduced hearing what were admitted to tie the genuine signatures of Lowell. The expert testimony was to the effect that the name upon the alleged bill of sale was not written by the same hand that wrote the signatures which were admitted to be genuine. After being out about two hours, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing damages at 83797.49.

Defendant filed a motion to set tho verdict aside and exceptions and the case goes forward. E. O. Greenleaf. H.

Could Exhibits Her Summer Work. Miss Alice M. Gould's studio, at No. 507i Congress street, presented a brilliant appearance Jnfternoon and evening, as well as the hall of the Philharmonic Orchestra adjoining, which had been kindly loaned to Miss Gould for the occasion. Both hall and studio were filled from 3 to 5, and 8 to 10 p.

with most of the people well known in the social and artistic wor of Portland, and the comments of the ladles and gentlemen upon Miss summer work, which was iiere displayed, proved highly flattering to the artist. The hail, upon whose walls the majority of the pictures and sketches was exhibited, was well adapted, by reason of the good light afforded, for such an exhibition. With the exception of a few black and whites, the water colors were the great feature. Miss Gould has only lately taken up this branch of her profession and the result, even at this early day, shows that she has not made a mistake. The pictures were studies taken in Portland Harbor, Salem and East Gloucester.

and St. Andrews, N. B. They were all marked by fine feeling, tender appreciation of color, and much refinement of treatment. Especially was this the case In the study representing a three-mastedischooner, lying at the Portland Dry Dock, with Portland in the distance.

The sun was rapidly sinking in the west, the upper is so often the case lu smooth andlpolished as a mirror, and the clear atmosphere caused the objects on the opposite shore to stand out with marked distinctness. The schooner itself showed the wear and tear ofjlong service in its massive hull as Ut lay slightly careened towards the opposite side of the dock. There was a warmth and delicacy of treatment in the whole well adapted to the close of day at the most poetic season of the year. There were studies of couatry roads, bordered by great fields of wild flowers, and shaded by old trees gnarled and twisted trunks, and fields in Scotland would be and heather, with quiet, shady pools, overhung by trees. There was a vase of delicious nasturtiums, aud a delightful old road leading to a red-roofed cottage by the sea, which was partly hidden from view by the tall, stately hollyhocks that bordered the road.

The good taste displayed in the arrangement, grouping and blending of her colors showed that Miss Gould's fine eye for color, which attracted so much attention several years ago at the Art exhibition, when she made her debut in oils, has, if anything, uu.ro opportunity for good work in water colors. Among me uisjk anu wunes, me picture representing the old in.m|ln the arm-chair especially pleased. In china decoration, iu which Miss Gould obtained a great reputation, tlie few pieces exhibited weie worthy of some of the best imported work. Such is the demand for Miss painting on china that she finds it difficult to secure the time to execute her many orders, without slighting her painting. Even the pieces exhibited yesterday had been sold, but were kindly loaned her by the purchasers for her autumn opening.

It is understood that Miss Gould will take classes in water color painting, aud she should meet with mucli success. MUSIC AND DRAMA. THE BI.ACK UUSSAli.

The schooner A. Hammond ol 27C tons burden owned in Saco by R. F. C. Hartley and others of Saco, was off the coast in the heavy weather of last Tuesday morning bound from New l'ork to Gardiner with a cargo of coal.

In addition to the fierce southwest gale that was was a good deal of fog so that Capt. Kilpatrick tell where he was. Through the fog he saw the off Half Way Rock and mistook it for Portland Head Light. All at once he recognized where he was and ordered the man at the wheel to the helm. I he order camo too late and in a few moments, about three the schooner struch heavily.

The situation was very serious, the waves breaking over the schooner. Before any attempt could be made to relieve the strain on the masts both went by the board narrowly missing several of the crew. The vessel was pounding on the rocks, and was so near the land that when one of the masts fell it canted over on to the rock so that the captain and crew, with the aid ol the keepers of the light who had been attracted to the spot by their cries, managed to creep ashore over the mast. They were most hospitably treated and remained on the rock until yesterday when they were taken off by a fisherman and brought to Portlahd where they were paid off and the captain proceeded to Saco. Ryan Kelsey were the agents of the schoonerShe will be a total loss as will be the case with her cargo of about 250 tons of coal.

The crew consisted of three men before the mast, mate and cook. The vessel was 33 years old. OBITUARY. Kirs. Harriet M.

lie boarded the train there for Tortland and took a seat in the smoking ear. Pretty soon a drunken man, with a dog in his arms, entered the oar, and approaching the judge, dealt him a heavy blow with the flat of his hand, intended evidently for a friendly slap. The judge, witli some asperity, inquired the meaning of this action, when tho drunkard explained huskily that he mistook him for an acquaintance and asked to be excused. The judge told him, If he had made a mistake, that it would be all right. The fellow was not satisfied, however, but persisted in his apologies, going so far as to attempt to 3it down in the lap, in his anxiety to be fully pardoned.

Finally the judge changed his seat, but the troublesome fellow followed him and continued his apologies. The judge, out of patience, got rid of him by saying, "There, if you will go and sit down in that seat and stay there until we get to Portland, it will be all right, otherwise it The drunken sot, partially sobered by this vigorous speech, did as he was told. A day or two later, when the judge came into the court room, he found this same fellow in the dock and readily recognized him. The offender was before the Municipal Court some time ago for nssault and battery. His case had been appealed, gone to the Law Court, been decided against him, and he was now up for sentence.

His counsel politely asked the judge to continue the case on the good behavior of the prisoner. The man, it was explained, had been pitcher of a ball team down in the Provinces during the summer and had done fairly well. The judge asked the counsel what he meant by TIT oil Pannnal V. rr not been before the court since his offence. Upon this the judge briefly related to the lawyer his experience with the man on the train and ended by sentencing him to ninety days in jail.

The lawyer afterwards explained privately that his client had recognized the judge as the man he struck on the train and had said he think it would be of any use to ask for a continuance of sentence. MARRIAGES. In this city, Oct. 8, by Kev. W.

The weather today ls Muly to be PORTLAND, OCT. 4,1889. TO be sent to Coventry was an English slang term with a well understood meaning, but the world is less interested in that than in what conies from Coventry. Men who have to buy Night Shirts may be interested to know that the fancy colored trimming with which our 75c line of Night Shirts is trimmed all comes from the famous factory of J. J.

Cash in Coventry, and that it is par excellence the best for trimming garments that are frequently laundered because its color is immovable. There are cheaper shirts than this 75c line of ours but not the sort you want to spend your money for. 75c is as small a price as a good shirt can be procured at. The cloth is in it, the workmanship is in it, and our guarantee of absolute satisfaction goes with it. You can get your money back in an hour or a week afterward if not satisfied.

If connected with an athletic club or indulge in gymnastic exercises you should be provided with the proper kind of dress. Under the head of athletic outfits there are several articles about which be glad to tell you. We keep a showing line of almost everything needed, what we have not in stock we can obtain for you.

Mrs. L. Connell who for over fifteen years suffered unspeakable misery from corns and bunions and ingrowing nails. Her feet were so painful that for months at a time she was unable to wear sluws of any size and the discomfort realized by walking or standing prevented her from carrying out her daily duties. Mrs.

Connell had used all sorts of remedies to better the condition of her feet but in spite of her efforts her case went from bad to worse and she suffered more than tongue could tell, for over fifteen years as stated above. Ou each foot were several severe corns which bad resisted all manuer of home treatment. The large toe joints on both feet had assumed the condition of bunions. The skin became hard and crusty and a bone corn on each Joint added terror to her discomfort. Mrs.

Connell also suffered for a long time from an ingrowing nail which could not be overcome by any means which she had previously resorted to. She also had a severe thickening of the skin on the soles of her feet and for all these years she liad been a continual sufferer from what might have been cured long ago had she found the right treatment. The follow ing fa her on a I had corns and bunions on both feet, I had an ingrowing nail ou my great toe on my left foot and thickeniug of the skin on the soles. I suffered for fifteen years and could never express the great suffering I had. For months at a time I was unable to wear shoes and was iu continual pain when I walked at all.

On the 4th of September, 1889,1 consulted Ur. Welch at City Hotel who ex mined my feet and told me they were In a severi bad condition. This I knew well enough. 1 asked him if he could do anything to make me comfortable, he said he could cure me If I would allow him to give his attention to my feet as my case required. I concluded to follow his advice and he treated my feet the first time and I walked home 1th much comfort and my feet grew better and better every day.

In a jew days I called again and had another treatment which wonderfully improved them and I again walked home with comfort. In a few days I got the third application which caused me to realize my feet were getting well. I could walk and go up and down 9talrs with great ease and follow my daily duties and wear my shoes with comfort. I could see and teel my trouble disappearing every time Dr. Welch treated my feet.

I have had his attention five or six times and I am pefectly cured. I cannot say enough lu favor of Dr. Welch for the good he has done me. MRS. L.
