When you hear any one giving instructions
how to breed, unless he knows the gait of
the horse and mare that he recommends,
you can be sure that such a man never bred
a colt. The perfect gated mare and horse
seldom produce the irst-class trotters. 1t is
where the parties are differently gated, one
with long, open stride, and the other quick
and nervy. that the best results are obtained.
This is why the Hambletonians and Stars,
also Clays, produce winners. Their gaits

THE PELToMA BRIDGE.
A Sheriff Puts in Some Work In a
Celebrated Case,

PITTsFIELD Me-. March 15.-For over
quarter of century there has been contest
over the building of a bridge over the Sebas-
ticook River at point to convenience the
people of Pittsfield, Detroit and Burnham.
The bridge is called the Peltoma bridge and
by this name the controversy has become
historic in this locality. Finally, after long
litigation, the bridge has been built, and one
half of the cost assessed upon the town of
Detroit. But Detroit refuses to pay, and in
town meeting last Monday the citizens of
Detroit voted unanimously to stand behind
those whose property might be seized. This
shows the conviction of the town that they
are in the right. But yesterday the officers
of the law marched on the stubborn town.
Armed with warrant of arrest issued from
the County Commissioners Court Deputy
Sheriff Mosher and large posse of work.
men started for Detroit. The object of the
expedition was to seize what personal prop
erty is not exempt from such processes by
the law, to satisfy the claim of about S4. 600.
The first place visited was Orrin Libby's.
Mr.. Libby forbade the officers to touch
thing, but Mr.. M0sher did his duty neverthe-
less. Several other places were visited, and
various property seized. W. w. Young
was very indignant, but all were finally
pleasant and took it like men. The stock of
5. L. Plummer, general trader, has been
seized and will be removed bodily. The fol-
lowing is a list of the property seized:
John Hayes,-1 riding wagon, cow.
VIM. w. Youug,-1 horse, colt, 10 head
cattle, carriage.
James Goodwin colts, 8 head cattle, 2
carriages.
0rrin Libby-9 head cattle,1 colt, 20 sheep,
l carryall, sleigh, ! riding wagon.
Perley Brown-2 cows, pair steers, 1 bull,
2 heifers, buggy, jumper.
Leon Brown, his son-1 jumper.
5. E. Plummer's stock of general merchan-
disc.
The citizens of Detroit are hopping mad.
and swear vengeance on Pttsfield and Pitts
field people. If the law will give them any
remedy they will have it.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
Major HarWood Completes a Gen.
tury of Life.

BATH, March 15.-Today Major Thomas
Hsrwood celebrated his one hundredth birth
day. Mr.. Harwood was born in Bowdoin-
ham. Me-, March 15, 1889. In early manhood
he came to Bath and became interested in
shipbuilding. For years he occupied the
wharf at the extreme north end of the city,
known as the Peterson yard, from which he
sent out numerous vessels of all sizes aud
rig.
Some twenty years ago he retired from ac-
tive business, having acquired good COM
petence. He reckons himself citizen Of
Bath and votes in the shipping city, though
it has long been his practice to pass large
part of the year, especially the colder por-
tion, in Brooklyn, where he now is. He has
been lif. long Democrat, but in the last
presidential contest cast his ballot for Gen.
Harrison. He has been twice married.
EThis attainment to the dignity # cente-
marian has been highly recognized by the
many friends of the hearty old gentleman,
upon whose shoulders the years rest so light
ly, and he has been the recipient of numer-
Gus tokens and congratulations today.

The Questions in the Suit For the
Boston, Concord and Montreal.

CONCORD, N. H., March 15-At a session
of the full bench of the Supreme Court at
Concord this afternoon, Chief Justice Doe
read an opinion in two of the actions brought
by the directors of the Boston, Concord aud
Montreal railroad against the Boston and
Lowell to recover possession of their line.
The first suit was bill in equity asking
for revocation of the lease of the Montreal
to the Lowell. principally upon the ground
that at the time it was executed the Lowell
was not a corporation legally operating
railroad line in New Hampshire. The court
held that the Lowell was then legally opera
ting the Manchester and Keene railroad and
that the bill was not seasonably brought and
it was consequently dismissed.
In the second case, it being a bill for a re-
vocation of the lease upon the ground that
its provisions had been violated by sub-let-
ting the road to the Boston and Maine and for
the appointment of a receiver, the court held
that there was no occasion to appoint a re-
ceiyer as the line was being operated by re-
sponsibIe parties. Upon the other point in
this ca no decision was given as the ques-
tion Is involved in an action at law still pend
ing and which was brought to secure an
amendment of the lease to the Lowell ON ac-
count of sub-letting to the Maine. Judge
Doe stated that an opinion would be given
in this suit at law as seasonably as possible.
The opinions given in the case to day leave
the real question at issue still open, and II
will SO continue until the court meets again
in June. 1t is not certain. however, that Q
decision will be rendered at that time.
