THE sTRoUDWATER ROAD.
Deering Has Leave to Withdraw Its
Petition.

Last years municipal officers of Deering
petitioned the county commissioners to de-
fine the limits of the Stroudwater road from
Stevens's Mills to the Portland line. The
commissioners viewed the route last fall and
adjourned the hearing at the request of MIR,
h. b. Chapman until January. The matter
came up for hearing at that time but. ow.
ing to the illness of two of the commission
ers, had to be again adjourned until April
LIST. A third adjournment then took place
until yesterday morning.
During this time the town Of. Deering
mad an article put in the warrant for town
meeting, instructing the selectmen to with
draw the petition. Mr. Bradford was a Sc
lectman Of the town last year but is not this
year, and he and Mr.. Andrew Halves APP
peared at the meeting as citizens in the in
terest of the AUDITORS on the road, and
claimed that the town should not be allowed
to withdraw the petition for the road. Mr.
l.. B. Chapman appeared for himself in the
matter. The town did not appear but sent a
certified copy Of the towns action at the
spring election in regard to the matter, ask
ing for the withdrawal OF the petition. The
hearing was simply on this question and the
commissioners granted the town leave to
withdraw the petition as requested, by their
paying the costs, about $40.

Merchants Week,

There is great deal of talk in mercantile
circles over the proposed Merchants Week,
which will be the week of April 21-26. A
gentleman deeply interested in the matter
says In his conversation with the managers
of the different railroad lines he found them
all more than well disposed to the project
Whatever they could do to make the affair
pronounced success they were prepared to do.
1t is rarely so much attraction is brought in
to one week in Maine as will be offered
then. The Emma Abbott Opera Company
will give three operas, and the Gilmore Band
four concerts. The mock adoption and pa
rade of the Red Men will prove novel at
traction and one of the most taking things
ever seen in this city. Chandler's Band has
a name that is not confined to Maine and
they will have concert and dance on one
evening in the week. If the weather is fine
opportunity will doubtless be offered the
visitors to sail down the harbor and see the
improvements on the various islands. Very
frequently some of the most charming days
in the year are those of early spring. Ger
tainly everything possible will be done to
entertain our friends from other cities and
towns in the state In good shape.

TO BE GIVEN A HEARING.
A Precedent Established by the Cit,
Government In Insane Cases.

Yesterday afternoon meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen was held to
take action in regard to sending an insane
man to the asylum at Augusta. The neces
sary papers, declaring the man insane, had
been signed by two physicians, Drs. King
and Addison S. Thayer. DIR. King could not
be present before the board, but DR.. Thayer
testified that he was satisfied the man was
insane, and, from conversation with those
very familiar with the man, he should con-
slider him dangerous. Mr.. Charles Thorn
ton Libby appeared for the nearest relative
of the insane party, brother-in-law. He
said that gentleman authorized him as a JUS
tice of the peace to make the request of the
Board. under the statute, for a commitment.
The mans mother was Of unsound mind land
was therefore not qualified to make the re-
quest.
Mayor Melcher said he wanted to go slow
in matter of such Importance. He thought
it was very serious thing to deprive man
of his liberty and the control of his affairs,
unless it was absolutely certain that it was
dangerous to leave him at large.
Evidence was introduced by Marshal
Green to show that the man had been arrest
ed for taking fruit from garden that had
belonged to the mans family some
time ago; that he had afterwards shown
spite against Judge Gould, who sentenced
him to pay fine for the larceny of the fruit I;
and that he had bought goods at different
stores under an assumed name. and refused
to pay for them, until execution had issued
from the court, thus reducing fair-sized
bank account in savings bank to mere
pittance, he claiming that he couldn't be
made to pay for goods bought under another
name.
City Solicitor Coombs thought that in
cases, at least where there was the slightest
doubt as to the insanity of person, whose
commitment to the asylum was asked for.
notice should be sent to that person that
there was to be hearing In his case.
In the present case the person whose
committal was asked for, was held at the
aims house, awaiting the proper papers. The
man asked to be heard. and it seemed proper
that he should be. Only a short time ago
the Supreme Court had required notice from
the municipal officers of town or city, to
be made to the Court of Probate as to the
sanity of the person for whom a guardian
was desired, and, while it had not been the
custom by the city government to give no.
tices of hearings to supposed insane people,
1t seemed to him proper that it should be
done, where any doubt existed of the peces-
sity of sending them to the asylum. As a
consequence the meeting adjourned to Fri
day afternoon. at p. M, when the person
whose committal is asked for will have an
opportunity to be heard
Aldermen Thompson, Mccain and Smart
were absent at the hearing.
