ALFRED, June 13.-The May term of the
Supreme Court for the county of York will
close tomorrow noon. An unusually large
number of disputed matters have been ad-
justed. The Supreme Court calendars were
distributed this morning, and it is learned
with regret that Judge Whitehouse will not
have York county in his circuit, where he is
so much respected. The liquor cases in
which the "spotters" were connected, will
not be tried, at least this term, and probably
many of them will be mol pressed.
Luther S. Moore of Limerick and Charles
+. Lord of Alfred were admitted to the bar,
as the court stated, upon very creditable ex-
amina!ions.
Pierre NORM, of Biddeford, indicted for
manslaughter, retracted his plea and plead
guilty. He was sentenced to four years in
state prison.
Affairs at standstiII.
IHoMAsToN, June 13.-Developments
toward the building of the Georges Valley
railroad to run between Warner and Union
seem to be at standstill The figures of E.
Z. Clark Of Salisbury, N. B., who was con-
tracing fort the building of the road, have
been refused by the two towns as being too
high for consideration. Rockland parties
with whom negotiations were being made
since the refusal of Clark's figures, have de-
cided not to accept the contract to build the
road.
The Knox & Lincoln.
RocKLAND, June 13. = Nobleboro and
Newcastle will vote Saturday on the sale of
the Knox & Lincoln railroad. The question
before these towns. which at first voted
against the sale, is whether they will change
their vote in accordance with the recommen-
dation of their committee, who, at the last
railroad meeting at Damariscouta resolved
that on the basis of cash for their PROPOSE
tion it would be wise for them to do SO.
Races Postponed.
