Sanding the Sidewalks.

10 the Editor Of the Press
Your paper this morning contained the fol-
lowing notice: "a lady fell at the corner of
Pearl and Cumberland streets last night and
was badly injured She was insensible for
time. Her name was not learned" That
lady is neighbor. She remained insensi-
BILE until this morning She now lies in a
critical condition.
What is the cause of this sad accident
What occasioned the injury recently to one
of our school teachers? The icy sidewalks.
In the name of humanity, let us try to make
them better
have seen many cities. | have never
seen another which is so culpable as Port
land in disregarding the city ordinance with
regard to the removal of snow and Ice from
sidewalks.
l demand that the city authorities enforce
these ordinances. beg my fellow cltlzens
to see to it that, at the very least, our side
walks shall be amply sanded. 1t Is certain
that any of us will bitterly regret any acci-
dent occasioned by the condition OF the side
walk before our door. 1t is certain that con-
demnation of self will follow regret. Let us
all unite in sanding the sidewalks.
l have long refrained from writing con-
corning this important matter. L hesitate
even now to do SO. But / am sure. that q
little thought will show the imperative need
the city's servants, We must sand the side
walks ourselves, and so save from many an
injury, and from heavy sorrow.
Fraternally yours,

CAPE ELIZABETH FERRY,
Hearing Before Judge Haskell Yes
terday.

Yesterday Judge Haskell gave an opportu-
nifty for petitioners A. Y. Cole ct ais. to be
heard appealing from the decision of the
County Commissioners, who refused to lay
out ferry landing and highway in the city
of Portland.
At former day the respondents filed a
motion to dismiss the appeal fof want of jul
risdiction, claiming that to the county COM
missioners alone was given authority to de-
eide whether or not the way should be grant,
ed, and that from their decision no appeal
lies. Since the hearing upon that motion
the petitioners filed motion Jor the appoint
ment of a committee, and upon this motion
hearing was had yesterday. Messrs. n. &
H. B. Cleaves, counsel for petitioners, in
sisted that under the provisions of the stat
ute, unless committee to hear and deter
mine the appeal should be appointed at this
term, they would be utterly deprived of all
redress in the premises, as the statute pro-
vides that committee shall be appointed at
term when the appeal is entered, and not
afterwards.
Judge Goddard, in behalf of the respond
ents, contended that literal construction
VI Vic o0eteutC Ndo ullCdoOldDlC3 @hN sAAs'N -
true intent and meaning was that the COM
mittee might be appointed at subsequent
term unless the petitioners were chargeaDle
with ldches in not calling the courts atten-
ton at the time, and having action III thls De-
half at the term when the appeal was en-
tered and in behalf of the respondents,
stated to the court that he did not con-
slider it prudent and consistent Tor the case
of his clients to make any agreement
concerning the appointment OF committee.
He claimed whether committee should be
appointed or not at the present term, if his
motion to dismiss was overruled, he was en-
titled to exception, and that the case should
bel marked law, and go directly to the law
court to determine whethey the court had
jurisdiction before the committee should act.
Counsel for the petitioners replied that the
statute peremptorily required the committee
to be appointed at the present term that it
was the duty of the court to now appoint the
committee, and that the committee should at
once proceed and determine the case upon its
merits. If they refuse to lay out the way, as
prayed for, the respondents would have no
cause of complaint, but if they adjudged that
PuoiiN eohf ohloAoO dliu ncccSSiIy ulu require
that the way should be laid out, and did so
report, then the case could go forward to
the law court, and the court could determine
the whole matter, and settle the rights of all
parties interested, thus saving the delay of
two years before a final determination of
the case could be reached.

Burton Stock Car COMPANY.

This corporation, one of the earliest en-
gagged in the transportation of live stock by
humane methods, was organized in this city
in 1882, under the general laws of this State.
Its business has steadily increased since its
incorporation, its cars have met with much
favor wherever introduced, and it is now
operating in the neighborhood of one hun
bred between the great meat centres of the
West and the Atlantic coast. Some dis
satisfaction existing with the present man
agement led to the appointment Of a COM
mittee to investigate its books and methods,
and the report of this committee was made the
basis of circular sent to each stakeholder.
This circular claimed the books showed that
the company had earned $5,555.09 since its
organization, that it owed over $4,000, and
outside of its cars its assets were worth less
than $4,000, with no cash in the treasury
cash debts exceeding cash assets by over
$35, 900; adding in the cars at one-half their
cost and the excess of liabilities over assets
would be $6,901.1S. This statement showed
the condition Of the company Nov. l. 1885.
The circular further claimed that the most
valuable patents had not been transferred to
the company, that the treasurer had given
no bond, and had kept no separate account
for the company but had deposited every
thing to his personal account.
At the annual meeting held yesterday at
ternoon in the office of Clarence Hale, Esq,
there was large attendance of stockholders,
81, $50 shares out of total issue of IS, 225 be-
ing represented. The treasurer presented
the following report:

CURE OF PLEgRIsY.

nril q 1894


Allcocks Porous Plasters have been used in
our family for the last three or four years with
very beneficial results. Previous to that time
had been subject to attacks OF severe pain in my
left side. Hot cloths and liniments afforded tenn
porary relief, but after while the pains always
returned. In the fall of $780, after a severe at
tack, was advised by friend to try an Allcock's
Porous Plaster on my side, which greatly benefit
ed me. After that tried several kinds of plas-
tiers to see which was the best, and finally decided
that Alcock's suited my case the best. l have
worn them constantly on my side ever since, and
have never been troubled with the pain, except
when left them off for few days We always
keep supply in the house, and whenever pain
seizes any of US, in any part of the body, we just
apply an AlcoclI's Plaster and can most heartily
recommend them. JAMES PETTIGREW.
