court this morning, before Chief Justice Dur
fee, the suit of William Fl. Mehsr against
Mrs Mary A. e. Holmes of Boston, whose
summer residence here is on Bellevue avenue,

$142 81 for certain plants supplied and labor
performed during the years 1928 to adorn
the estate of Mrs. Holmes. The defendant
claimed that account for 1881 should be paid

her cottage during that season; that the ac'
count for 1928 has been paid for which Mrs.
Holmes check for $40, endorsed by plaintiff

lied hre to hire plaintiff as his gardener, while
he occupied cottage in season of 1881. This
the plaintiff denied. The jury, after an alb
sence of 10 minutes returned verdict for plain
tiff for 1881, with damages, $12O.5O; and for
the years 1882 3, verdict for the defendant

RAILWAY MATTERS
Railroad Route from Presque Isle.

Railroad Route from Presque Isle.
The most feasible railroad route, says the
Calais Times, from Presque Isle to some point
on the European & North American section Of
the Maine Central is what the people of Aroos-
took county demand. and the Mattawamkeae
route is not in favor. 1t would require the
building of 20 miles more of road BIZ the wav
OF Salmon stream than by the way of Houlton.
and would lose the business of an important
part ct the county, namely, Monticello, Little
ton, Houlton, Hodgon, Linneus, New LINER
ick and Ludlow. Pressure Isle aud Bancroft
are in the second range, W. K. L. s. Presoue
Isle village is near the west line of the town.
Near the west line of Bancroft the road
would branch off from the e 4 N. A. railroad:
an air line would be seven miles west of Houl-
ton village. No better way can be- found than
by way OF Houlton. Such a road would con-
troll the business of the county. There would
be an important business point at Haynesyille,
nesT oil Houlton, with an increase, would be-
secured.

Mysterious Disappearance of Young

SACo, March 18.--Sone six weeks sinca
young lady apparently twenty years of age, Of
a blonde complexion, rather ptepossessing in
appesrsI ce and somewhat above the medium
weight came to Saco from Boston, engaged
hoard in Main street boarding house and en-
deavored to get employment in the York mill.
Failing in this she took up with canvassing for
paper in which occupation she continued up-
til about ten days since, when one day after
the dinner hour she started out as usual osten-
sibly to canvass, since which time nothing
@hatsver has been learned Of her whereabouts.
For several days previous to her disappear
ance she had appeared in rather melancholy
mood and as the young lady had settled Tor
her board weekly and leaving behind large,
opeu vslise filed with clothing, her sudden
and prolonged absence naturally begins to ak
cite fears that something not altogether right
may possibly be connected with the girls dis
appearance. She is supposed TO have relatives
