land

Special To the kennebec Journal.
PORTLAND, Feb. 8.
There was not large attendance at the
meeting Of the Maine Historical Society al
its Library City Building, this afternoon
aud evening. The venerable president of
Society, Hon. James w. Bradbury of Au-
gusta, occupied the chair, and presided in a
dignifed and graceful manner. DIR. W. b.
Lapham of Augusta, proposed amendments to
the constitution increasing the number of
members from one hundred to two hundred,
and imposing an annual fee of $500. The
proposal was discussed and laid on the table.
The librarian, Mr.. Hubbard w. Bryant, re-
ported the list of accessions to the library
and cabinet since June last. Hon. William
Gould of Winham, then read paper des-
criptive of the visit Of Gov Christopher
Gore of Massachusetts, to the District of
Maine in 1919. Previous to his visit four
Royalist Governors of Massachusetts, had
visited the District, but Gov. Gore was the
first governor of independent Massachusetts
to visit this Province. He extended his visit
ar far east as Bath and Wiscasset, and was
present at the Fourth Commencement of
Bowdoin College, presided over by President
Appleton at which class of five graduated.
Hon. Joseph Williamson of Belfast then
read paper on Pre-I Historic Maine, in
which he reviewed the theories that have
been put forth in evidence of a Pre-Colum-
bian discovery of America by the Norsemen
of Scandinavia in the eleventh century. The
paper was an exceedingly interesting one,
reviewing at length the views of Bancroft,
Everett, Humboldt and other students. The
discovery of copper relics in Indian graves at
Waterville and Harpswell, and rock inscrip-
cited as possible evidences of an European
occupancy of Maine prior to Columbus. The
paper was discussed by Rev. DIR. Burrage,
Mr.. T.. II. Ellwell, Hon. J. Z. Baxter and
Rev DIR. Dalton.
A memoir of Hon Robert II. Gardiner of
Gardiner, late II member of the Society, was
then read by Rev. Asa Dalton, which closed
the afternoons session.
At the evening session Hon. Joseph Will
hanson read an account of the Kelley Fam
lily of Maine, and presented to the Society
two early portraits of Hon. Daniel Webster.
Following this Mr.. Edward II. Ellwell of
Portland read an historical sketch of the un-
ion of church state in Maine, under Royal
st and Independent laws, as shown in the
support of parishes by the towns, and the
discontinuance of this early system.
An account of the Royal Charter of 1886
and the deed or patent of Sept. 10, 1893,
from Sir Fcrdinando Gorges to Capt. John
Mason, colonizer of New Hampshire and the
region of Pscataqua-a part of which is now
in Maine-was read by VIM. NJ. Sargent.
This document, recently discovered, is given
in the second volume of York Deeds, just
published.
The Baxter Building, now bnilding, and to
b. presented to the Society and Portland In

for house rent. This suit was brought BY
the heirs ane daughter of DIR. Wallace Bo-
Ian. The defendent admits the charge for
rent, but filed in set off bill Of $3.50 for
certain repairs which the plaintiff admits; al
SO for decoration of rooms, which the plain.
tiff resists and which the defendant sb an.
doned. The defendant in his account in set
of also claims to have allowed the sum
of $1,000 for medical attendance up
on the plaintiff and her father at
Togus, during severe illness. and this was
the only issue in the case. The plaintiff ad.
mits that the medical services were rendered,
but claims that there is n uniform and uni
versal custom in the medical profession that
medical attendance by one physician upsn
another, or the immediate members of HE
family, shall be II gratuity, aud therefore
there could not have been even an implied
contract on tbe part Of DIR. Bolan to pay the
bill. The defendant admits that such Gus
tom prevails in case of medical attendance
not out of town, but claims that il does not
prevail where the patient is at \ distance,
and in any event is not binding. Arguments
closed. Adjourned until morning at nine
o'clock.
