Lawyer Biake's suits.

The first Of the suits of Herbert Blake of
Hallowell, against manufacturing corporations
to recover the penalty for neglecting to pub.
lish semi-snnual reports Of their financial
condition, came up in the Supreme Court in
Augusta on Saturday. 1t was an action against
the Oakland Manufacturing Company. The
amount claimed is $500. The defendant adj
mitted that no semiannnal statements were
published in 1888, but claimed the omission TO
publish was not matter of neglect; that the
law requiring the publication having become
s--A s~se~'s - s.'.nA aSse.s Was
advised no necessity existed for complying
with its requirements, and that the omission
TO publish was solely on this account and not
because OF any desire to conceal the financial
standing of the corpOrption. The judge ruled
that this evidence, constituted. no defense and
the jury, by his honor's direction returned q
verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant takes
exceptions to the ruling and the case will 20 tc
the law court.
Blakes suit against the Augusta Gas Com
pany was non-suited, the defendant showing
that the law had been complied with.

PORTLAND HEAD LIGHT.
Why Ii Was Gus Dswn-The Reply 10
Senator Hale's Resolution of Inquiry.

senator FAHIe8 SeeOIut1Ou Oh inquiry
Special Despatch to Portland Adgertiser.(
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Treasury De-
partment has prepared an answer to the Senate
resolution, proposed by Senator Hale, inquiring
the reasons of the reduction and lowering of
Portland light. The report will be presented
to the Senate in few days
The reply states that the regulations of the
light house service, approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury, provide lights of class for
secondary points on headlands along the sea
coast and approaches 10 bays and sounds.
Lights of classes 4, 5 and 6, are used to mark
bays; distractions in rivers, piers and
wharves."
The light at Portland Head was first estab-
lishment in 1870 and served from thst time un-
ing to the regulations aii Yaahts requiring accord
But in 1871, when the Halfway Rock light
was erected in Casco bay, the Portland light
was no longer regarded as sea-coast signal,
ard was no longer entitled to lamp of the
second class In accordance with the regula-
tions of the service it was recommended by
the inspector and engineer of the district, that
as the light was in bad condition, it be re-
piaOOu WIN u lew DIG anu tnab An iron bOW6A
be erected in place of the old one of stone.
The matter was referred to Commander Pick.
ing, naval secretary of the light house board,
and formerly inspector for the first light house
district. He thought new tower unneces-
sary, as the lower portion OF the old one was
still in good condition. He therefore recon-
mended the lowering of the old tower by TAX
ing Oft the upper portion, and the substitution
OF a lamp of class fer that OF class q A
board of engineers was then instructed TO re-
port II the tower could Re lowered, as recon-
mended, without affecting its servceable con-
dition. An affirmative report having
been rendered, the light house board,
In 1882, ordered the required changes to be
made. This was done the year following.
In answer to the request that sin view of
the increased dangers to navigation and of the
late loss of property by reason of the lowering
OF the light, the Senate be informed if there is
any good reeson why the same shall not be
restored in accordance with the general desire
OF persons engaged in navigating the waters Of
that vicinity" the report states that the de-
partment is not cogDizsnt of any damage re-
sulting from the change in the light. The
records of the life saving service contain no
information of wrecks in that vicinity since
the change. The inspector for the first district
REPORTS under recent date that he tested the
miles to sea, where it Is plainly distinguish.
able. and, in his opinion, is perfectly adapted
to the service required of it. He states
further that the books of his office contain 10
complaints in regard to it from persons navi-
eating those waters.
In view of the foregoing facts the depart
ment concludes that there are good reasons
why its action should be maintained and tie
light should not be restored.

snop IN that city. 1t appears, according to the
aooount published in the Biddeford Journal,
past re rec Ey9ng lassy has been for some time
guage at the French Catholic convent there.
1t was soon rumored about town that she had
renowned the Protestant religion, and was
about TO embrace the Catholic faith. Her
father questioned her regarding the story, and
learned that such was her intention. He
then forbade her visiting the convent, and
took every means in his power, as also did the
mother, to wesn her from her purpose. Their
efforts we're unavsiling, however, and she con-
tinued to visit the convent and attend services
at the church.
Saturday afternoon, about o'clock, the
young lady set out from her home in the direc-
ton of the convent, when the mother, mis-
trusting that all was not right. followed her
and saw her enter it. She then went to the
door and requested the attendant to call her
daughter, and was told that the young lady
was rot there. After few moments CONVEX
sation, Mrs. Cole took her departure and
sought her husband, to whom she related what
had occurred.
Mr.. Cole then went to the convent and made
inquiries for his daughter, and was told that
she was not about the premises. He .hen Sc
