RocKLAND's WATER SUPPLY.
An Important Case in Progress In
that City.
Especial to the PRESS.

Especial to the PRESS.
RoCKLAND,. March % 22-Testimony is be-
ing taken here before Judge Libbey in very
important water case The Camden and
Rockland Water Company obtained char
ter from the Legislature of 1885 to supply
this city and other towns with water from
Oyster River pond. The old Rockland
watercompany, which was chartered in 1850,
and draws its supply of water from Tolman's
Pond, brought bill of equity and applied to
Judge Lib5ey last summer for an injunction
to restrain the new company from construct
ing its works and from withdrawing the
water from Oyster River pond claiming an
exclusive grant. The Injunction was not
granted, and since then the new company
has completed its works aAd is now supply
ing the city with water.
The old company has never constructed its
works to Oyster River pond though they OBJ
tanned the right in 1861, and never used the
water for supplying Rockland.
Evidence is being introduced by the new
company tending to show that the old COM
pany has more water in Tolman's pond than
is required for its works, and that. they have
a supply in that pond with its vast water
shed sufficient to supply population of 75,-
600. Much testimony is being introduced
upon that point.
Hon. A. P. Gould and John 0. Robinson
appear for the Rockland Water Company,
and Hon. Henry B. Cleaves of the firm of
N. & II. b. Cleaves of Portland, and C. E.
Littlefeld, Esq, appear for the new company.

GRANT AND WARD
Suits to Begin Against Other Receiv-
ers of MYTHICAL Profits.

NEW YORK, March 22.-An execution for
the amount of the judgment against William
S. Warner for 81, ,401, ,90S. 70 was delivered to
Sheriff Grant of this city on Thursday after
noon. He went to Mr.. Warmers house at
No. GA Fifth avenue, just below Fourteenth
steeet and levied upon everything there, in
Guiding the house itself, two sorrel horses,
carriages and furniture. Sheriff Grant says
he found at the house only legal repre-
sentative of Mr.. Warner and the servants
He left deputy in charge. There was
rumor that before daybreak Friday morning
a coupe stopped in front of the house and let
out two men, who went in, got two big va
liSeS ana drove away.
Two laughing Irish servant girls opened
the door of the house at brief intervals Fri
day and informed reporters that Mrs War
ner was not in and that no deputy sheriff
had charge of the premises. Neighbors say
that they saw Mrs. Warner at a window sew
eral times during the day. The property Is
in her name.
counsel for Receiver Davies of the firm OF
Grant & Ward, it is said that every effort
has been made to get at Mr.. Warmers prop
erty. Deputy sheriffs had gone to all the
safe deposit companies in the hope of get
ting on the track of some of his yaluableS,
but they were disappointed. The Fifth ave-
nue. house is the only property they have
spotted. Mr.. Hornblower said that this
property would be used to satisfy the Judg-
ment unless it should be proven that Mrs
Warner had coed title. Mr.. Hornblower
said that he had industriously tried to find
Mr.. Warner, but could not.
Under Sheriff Sexton went down to War
ner's office Friday afternoon and failed to
learn where he had gone This was the luck
of everybody who asked for him.
The boy at Receiver Davies office heard
the telephone jingle Friday morning. He
says that somebody called for Mr.. Davis
through the telephone, and said that if Mr..
Davies wanted to see Mr.. Warner, Mr.. War
ner was there at the speakers office. The
office boy said, wait minute" and left
the telephone He looked around the office,
and, not finding Mr. Daveis, he returned to
the telephone. He had been cut off from the
person who SAID he had Mr.. Warner at his
office.
Lawyer Hornblower has begun suits
against other receivers of the mythical prof
its from Grant & Ward, including the Tobey
brothers and the estate of the late City
Chamberlain Tappan.

Mackin- aIIagher Cases.

WASHINGTON, March 22--The Supreme
Court has rendered decision in the Mackin-
Gallagher cases, that the crimes charged
against the defendants are infamous within
the meaning of the Constitution, and the de-

WASHINGTON, March 22-The House
shipping committee has authorized the re-
port Of the Dunn bill to admit free of. duty
foreign built ships to American registry,
with section admitting materials of all
kinds free of duty for the construction of
ships for the foreign trade. Five Republi-
cans and one Democrat (A1r. Bliss voted
against the bill, and seven Democrats for
it. Mr.. Dingley endeavored to have the
committee report the free materials section
in separate bill, saying that he and other
Republicans favored that act as it would aid
In establishing iron shipbuilding in this
country. 1T would be a mockery," he said,
'to attach to free materials section a sec
tion admitting complete foreign built ships
free, for no one could now import material
and build iron ships in this country where
labor compared with its effective results, is
so per cent. higher than in England, If
British completed vessels are to be admitted
free. Whatever might be done ten years
after we had got start in business"
By the same vote e to g. it was decided not
to offer free materials without free ships.
Mr.. Dunn will make the majority report. 1t
is understood that the plan of the free ship
majority is to set aside the pilotage bill
which was to come up when the shipping
committee shall be called next week or the
week after and call up the free ship bill then,
and force it through the House. They claim
this is necessary to secure its passage, as the
