= MAGNIFICENT ESTABLISHMENT
Another Big Building to BIO Erected
by Twitchell & champiin,
And Store to be Opened in Boston
by This Firm.

One of the largest and finest Wholesale
grocery houses in New England is the mag
nificent establishment of Twitchell & Cham
pin on Merrill's wharf, this city. This is
the largest grocery house in Maine and is
known throughout the country as one of un-
surpassed enterprise Their houses contain
enormous floor area, and every floor is full
of machinery and merchandise. Their
buildings ON Merrill's wharf are as follows:
One is 35x200 feet and three stories high: an
other is 25x133 feet and has six floors, being
five stories high with basement; another is
175x20 feet and two stories high; another 55x
80 feet and has four floors, and another 175x
20 feet with one floor. Besides these the
firm has large malasses store houses on 9TH
er wharves. They pack themselves thou
sands of cans of corn. tomatoes, beans and all
vegetables grown here that are put up in
cans. They put up jellles and goods in that
line, besides all kinds Of spices and an i'm
mense line of such things. A large floor is
devoted entirely to the manufacture of con-
fectionery- of all kinds, hundreds of pounds
being made daily.
In another building is one of the largest
broom manufactures in the State
The fish department is located near the end
of the wharf All the buildings but two are
fine brick and iron structures. From 90 to
10 tnlplOyeS are supported Dy the nrm, in
GLIDING u experienced travelling statesmen.
This means at the end of the month big
pay roll and thousands of dollars worth of
business. In addition to their already inn
mense establishment work has been begun
on another building which alone when com
pleted, will be larger than any other one
store on Commercial street. 1t will be a
first class brick block, 175 feet long and 60
feet wide, and will have five floors, includ-
ing fine basement. A large crew is at work
upon the foundation of the building, and the
new store will b e completed by next Septem-
Der. 1t will be Used for manufacturing pur-
poses.
Nor is the erection of this new building
the only new enterprise contemplated by
Twitchell & Champlin. They will open a
store in Boston next February where they
propose TO do as large business as they do
here in Portland. The Boston house will
be an outlet foT the goods manufactured at
their establishment in this city, and thus the
two stores can be operated simultaneously
together. 1t is not yet decided who will have
charge of the Boston house, but it is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Champlin, himself, may move
to that city and take charge of the store
there. The opening Of the house in Boston
Will add to the enormous business done by
this enterprising firm. There are few bust
ness houses better located than this one to
do large business. They will pack large
amount OF corn and other things this fall.

The LIdback Marine Engine.

Yesterday the new 75-horse power. Lid
back marine engine that is to be put in a
yacht at Mt. Desert, was given successful
trial at the machine shop of the Lidback
Company on Commercial street. The gentle
men who witnessed the trial were very much
pleased with it. 1t is a compound engine.
and has two cylinders and two pistons that
counterfeit the motion Of each other so there
is no jar and no movement of the machine
on its base. The engine was set on rollers
at the trial yesterday. and was in no way
made fast to the floor, yet it did not move
out OF place. The base Of the engine is on
~ three feet square. 1t is six feet high and
ABOUT o. feet wide. 1t will easily make $50
revolutions per minute when in boat. and
although it was not given very high speed
at Yesterdays trial, it will be run about 400
revolutions per minute before leaving the
shop. 1t will be given another trial today.
The dimensions of an ordinary compound
marine engine of the same horse power are
six feet long. five feet wide, and eight and
one-half feet high. The engine is perfectly
balanced, has little friction, because it has
no sliding surfaces, and is economical in the
amount of space occupied. These are the
advantages claimed for it.

The following decision and rescript was sent
down yesterday from the Law Court;
YORK COUNTY.
Biddeford Savings Bank VS.. Dwelling House In
surance Company.
Rescript by Danfoith J.-When the policy in
snit was issued the plaintiff was MORTGAGE OF the
property insured, and the policy was made pay
able to IL "as It's interests may be-" This was not
an assignment of the policy, but in effect an ac-
cepted order on the defendant to pay that amount
10 the plaintiff In case of loss.
The subsequent conveyance and assignment of
the policy by the mortgagor to VIM Il Wildes
vested the legal title TO the property insured aud
to the policy IN him. The conveyance and assign
ment OF the policy with the consent of the defend
ant, by Wildes to the plaintiff, gave it the same
title which Wildes had and discharged or merged
its mortgage.
The instrument which wildes received back not
being under seal, and at most but an agreement
TO convey on certain conditions, gave him no title
10 thel and, but possibly an equitable mortgage
and an equitable interest in the policy. The re-
suit Is that at the time OF the loss the plaintiff had
the legal title TO the property insured and was the
owner OF the policy issued by the defendant upon
that very property, and for which the premium
asked had been paid; No question of fraud has
been raised by the defendant, and all that is now
asked is that the defendant should perform its
contract, which 1t must be held to do.
Nor can the defence for want of notice and
proof Of loss prevail. The agreed statement finds
That notice was received Immediately after the
loss. The proof was made by Ruth i. Wildes,
who then had the equitable interest of William +.
Mlldes. All the material facts were known to
the company. No objection was then made to
source whence ii came 1t was received and act
ed upon by the company, and through its proper
officers a conclusion was reached as 10 the actual
damage, satisfactory then, and no suggestion is
now made that was not correct, or that the COM
pany have suffered from deficiency in the proof
proof must therefore be considered and waived
and judgment must be entered for the plaintiff
for the amount found by the defendants adiustor.
