The following petition, signed by Joseph
Howard, Rensselaer, Cram and about 100 other
prominent business men of Portland, was re-
ferred to joint special committee consisting of
Aldermen King and McCarty on the part of
this Board: -
Whereas, a proposition is before the people
of Portland to give credit to the bonds of the
Portland q Ogdensburg Railroad to the amount
of 81, 100000; and whereas, the city has an in
terest to the amount of $714, 900 in said road
and whereas, doubts are entertained as to the
feasibility of the road through the mountains
and especially as to whether the amount named
will complete the road: Your petitioners believe
that definite information should be obtained
before acting in matter of so much import
ance in its relations to the liability of the cit,
on the one side and the benefits to accrue OF
the other; and they therefore ask you to ap
point a commission who shall obtain reliabl,
information as to the feasibility and cost of til,
road, its railroad connections and its genera
advantages for business; with athority to EN-
ploy a competent engineer and such other ait
as may be required to accomplish the purpose
of this investigation, and report the same al
early as practicable.

BEFORE JUDGE LANE
MoSDAY.--Joseph Silver vs. Maine Central Rail-
road. Action to recover damages for a personal in
jury sustained by the plaintiff, boy eleven years
old. Damages claimed $50, 900.
The plaintiff introduced evidence tending to show
that on the third of August he with his mother and
several boys and girls went to Westbrook burberry
ing, going out in the morning the gravel train
At noon the mother home leaving the boy there
with the others. About two o'clock plaintiff with
the rest of the party back to Morrilrs Corner
to take the gravel train home. That train did not
come along, but freight train numbering about
twenty cars, came along at the rate of about six
miles an honr. In the middle of this train two
platform cars loaded with lumber. AT the end of
one there was open space and upon this portion
the car the paintif threw his basket and catching
hold of the side of the car along few steps and
sprung on, sitting upon the side of the car with his
legs hanging tho side that just then brakeman
near by sung out to him "get off from there and
made kick at him: that he then turned over on his
breast hung down over the side of the car thought
his foot touched the ground and let go-when he
went under the car, the wheel passing over his foot
crushing it SO that had to be amputated above the
ankle, and also produced breach and hernia,
The defendants testimony was to the effect, that
when this train came along at the rate of about six
miles hour, not intending to stop at that station
the brakeman saw the boy start to get to the car
and sung out to him not to get The boy paid no
attention to 1t but catching hold the side of 1.-The
car which was three feet and four inches above the
PLATFORM jumped up with his breast and belly on the
car his legs hanging down and tried to Chamber on
but slipped, and losing his hold fell under the car
That no brakeman was within three cars of him and
did not order him off speak to him after he caught
hold of the car.
The defendants also put in the declarations of the
boy while being conveyed home, that he tried to get
on the train and fell off and went under the car.
