SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE HASKELL.

TuEsDAY.-John Mccormick VS.. Isaac f. Sturdi.
want This was an action to recover for personal
injuries claimed to have been received upon Stur-
dvants wharf in June, 1886. Plaintiff was.en.
gagged as steyedore in the loading OF vessel
with lumber and in passing from the shed 10 the
vessel with piece OF timber on his shoulder, ne
stepped through hole in the wharf, and Sus-
tanned, as he claimed, permanent injuries.
The defence introduced evidence TO show that
the portion of the wharf where the accident was
alleged to have occurred, was leased TO Russell,
Lewis & Co., by lease dated March IL, 1877, for
period of five years, the lease containing no cove
nant for repairs and that at the expiration of this
written lease, in March, 1882, the same was con-
tinued by verbal agreement TO the present time,
upon the same terms, except that a larger portion
OF the wharf has since been occupied by the les
sees, and an additional rent paid. Defendant de-
MED all knowledge OF the alleged defect or the in
Jury claimed TO have been received by the plain
tiff until served with the papers In this suit, and
claimed that the injury, il any, was due TO plain,
tiff's own negligence; defendant also introduced
medical testimony to show that no permanent in
iury existed, and eontended that liability for de-
feet in the wharf, if any defect existed was upon
the lessees, and not upon the lessor, he having
given no covenant to repair, but the Court ruled
that the lessor, as owner, would be liable TO the
plaintiff for the safe condition of the wharf.
After being out about three hours, the jury
sealed up their verdict and will report Wednes-
day morning.

THE LoNcEsLLow STATUE.
A Novel and Excellent Plan to Raise
the Remainder of the Funds hec-
essary to Furnish the Pedestal to
the Statue.

At recent meeting of the Longfellow
Statue Association it was decided in order to
raise the funds necessary to complete the
pedestal of the statue which will arrive here
early in the spring, to appoint committee
of three hundred and forty of our most in
fluential citizens to furnish each the sum of
ten dollars. This sum may be procured by
canvassing among the committees friends,or
furnished in any way which individuals my
think best. 1t is to be greatly hoped that
every member thus favored may respond
promptly, and by doing SO relieve the mana
gers, who have labored diligently in the
cause of farther anxiety.
The following circular has been prepared
and will be distributed:
PORTLAND, Jan. 16, 1888.
Dear Sir:-The Longfellow Statue, with pedeS-
tai and foundation, completed and set in State
Street Square, will c0sf.abouticleven thousand dol
lars. OF the cost of the statue alone (eight thou
sand dollars, more than seven thousand dollars
have already been secured The granite for The
elaborate and massive pedestal has been gener-
ously given, but the expense OF cutting and plac-
ing It will not be less than twenty-four hundred
must be more than that. The arrival Of the
statue may be expected early in the summer, and
work on the pedestal should be contracted for at
once to avoid delay in the erection OF the statue:
Those who have seen the model in Rome speak of
it in terms of highest praise. 1t Is believed that
Mr. Simmons has produced work of art worthy
of the fame of Mr.. Longfeow, and of our beauti-
full city. 1t is imperatiyely necessary, however.
that the sum of $3400 required for the pedestal
and 70 complete the payments to The sculptor,
should be raised at once. The only resource inn
medately available is general subscription. The
committee appointed to raise the money have re-
solved to appeal to the Portland members Of the
Association, and to other Portland people who are
regardfu of the credit OF the city, for contrlbu.
tions to this worthy object. The committee feel
that the contribution, In each case, need not and
should not be burdensome. They have decided,
therefore, to ask those who take part in the move
ment to raise at least ten dollars EACH You are
respectfully invited to provide that sum, or more,
either by caDyassing among your friends, or as
your personal gift. The money may be paid to
the treasurer, Mr.. Philip Henry Brown, at his
Office on Middle street, or will be sent for on no
tice to the secretary, Mr.. Thomas Tash,: at his
once in the City Building.

Good Shots.

An Augusta despatch says: captain b.
A. Norton, of the Portland Light In
fantry, is perfectly at home with militia
ry rife. The Captain has but one arm, but
he finds the bulps-eye just the same, and
shoots without an artificial rest either. The
Captain holds the envious reputation of be
ing one of the best riflemen in Co. A. of the
First Regiment. Capt Davis, chief of the
Portland Mechanic Blues. is one of the best
shots in the State. Capt. Davis was men,
ber of the State team that went to Creed
more in 49,. Sergeant Rogers, of the Port
land Light Infantry, has recently come to
the front in Maine as one of her best men
with the military rifle. The sergeant put in
some fine work at the last State shoot In this
city. Sergt. G. L. Crockett and Private j.
Carter are said to be able to hit the Bulls
eye oftener than any Others"

An Old Gun.

Last Saturday afternoon while three
brothers, named Jewett, were returning
from trip to the place where the barque A.
c. Mcclure went ashore at Portland Head
Light while ago, and unearthed histori-
cal relic in the shape of an old cannon. The
gun was originally 10 feet in length, but the
waves and rocks have worn away about
three feet from the muzzle. From the APP
pearance of the gun it is calculated that it
has been in the water over 100 years. Great
grooves are worn in its sides, and in some
places it is worn nearly into the bore. 1t
weighs between loo and 1900 pounds.

Tilter-board philosophy
Cotton is going up! upl way
upl
Higher than Giraffe's ears.
You don't believe it? that's
natural.
Don't we always say we don't
believe the thing that we are
most afraid of
(Which accounts for Universalism.)
Cotton and everything that
is made of cotton, is rising.
That's one end of the tilter-
board.
Flocks Of customers at our
counters last week called for
Cotton Sheeting, good quality
at moderate price.
We couldn't give it to them
then, nobody could.
How could they, when cotton seemed trans
always.)
But ah, there's another end
to the tilter-board and that's
DOWN. It's this,
Our buyer went to Lowell
last Thursday and blundered
on to a vast mass of manufac-
turers remnants and short
lengths of Bleached Cotton,
Unbleached Cotton, Cotton
Flannel, Shaker Flannel.
We have turned the whole
central aisle of our store into
a Remnant Hurrah
January is naturally a dull
month.
We propose to galvanize this
present January into a nimble
friskiness, transform it into a
high stepping Calico colt, as
you may say by this six thous-
and yard Remnant sale.
We offer you this week, cot
ton remnants so cheap that you
can afford to butter your bread
with them.
Listen! Here's one case OF
one thousand three hundred
and sixty-nine yards of yard
wide Bleached Cotton Rem
nants, soft, stout and substan-
tial, at 6 CTs. A YARD.
Listen again, here's count
less yards of unbleached cotton
yard wide, firm and good, in
remnants and short lengths, 6
CTS A YARD.
(Try for it elsewhere, at that price, and see
what looks of stunned amazement you'll
you'll get all you can use.) !,
Listen thrice, Nearly five
hundred yards of stout-double-
width sheeting remnants, ga
inches wide. (o4 inches means
nearly ga yds. wide.) So
wide that, like an Oxford Coun-
ty stone wall, its actually higher
when you tip it over, than when
it stands right side up. So
this cotton, whichever way you
turn it, it's wider than it is
long, and, like a stone wall too
in its substance and durability,
IL CTs. A YD. Irregular value
is 80 cts. a yd.)
Once more listen, Six hun
dred and forty four yards Sha-
ker Flannel remnants, soft,
stout, warm and good, 8 CTs.
A YARD.
Come now my friends, here's
your cotton opportunity, 'tisn't
a hazy, nebulous, visionary,
'limitedP' bargain, it's an occa-
sion as plain to be seen as a
cows horns.
If you can't come, we'll send
you samples, THAT is, while
they last,) but you must know
that six thousand yards of cot
ton remnants isn't much more
than a lunch for this cotton
famished district.
Next week it'll be something
else, but this week it's manu-
facturers' remnants of cottons.

following statement is right to the point;
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time She was % months
old till she became years Of age. Lumps formed
IN her neck, causing great annoyance: and two of
them, after growing to the size Of a pigeons egg,
broke and discharged. One became running
sore for more than three years. We thought we
would give Hoods Sarsaparilla a thorough trial
We began with it In January. and in few months
after she had taken five bottles. all suppuration
had ceased. We then waited three months,
when, as new lump was beginning to form, we
again gave her Hoods Sarsaparilla. After she
had taken less than two bottles the lump and all
indications of scrofula had entirely disappeared,
and now she seems to be healthy child"
