SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

MoNDAY-BrunswickG Gas Light Company
VS.. United Gas. Fuel and Light Company.
In April, 1889, the defendant company, By
Marcus r. Williams. its president. leased
the plant Of the Brunswick Gas Light Com
pany in Brunswick for % years, agreeing tC
pay therefore rental OF one thousand dol.
lars per year, pay the taxes and guarantee
the bonded indebtedness of the plaintiff com
pany. amounting to S7l00. The defen dant
company were manufacturing gas under
what Is called the Avery process. They ran
the plant until September, 1890, when being
In debt, out of supplies and out of credit,
they surrendered and abandoned the plant.
This suit is one of covenant broken, In which
they claim $500 for unpaid rent, the unpaid
taxes, and also large amount as prospective
damages to the business of the corporation
and also by the refusal of the defendant
corporation to guarantee the bonds as cove
nanted In the lease. The whole claim for
damages is ten thousand dollais.
The defendants in the first place deny that
Marcus Williams had any authority to enter
into the case with the plaintiffs: that If he
did they admit that the rent and taxes sued
for have not been paid by the defendants.
But they deny that there has been any dam
ago to the plaintiffs or their plant or their
business. They claim that they gave up the
plant in as good condition and with as many
customers as when they received 1t; that in
fact they put in permanent improvements to
the amount of 5000, which they should be al
lowed for. The case was tried by the court
without jury, and decision viii be given
at the May term.

THE PRICE OF COAL.
1t Will Not 5e Higher and Some
Kinds Will Cost Less.

The first of May is the time usually fixed
In the coal trade for fixing the prices for coal
during the summer months, and the usual
custom has been followed this year. re-
porter of the PRESS called on Mr. Randall of
the Randall. McAlliSter Company yesterday
and learned that the price of Lehigh coal
had been reduced from Sc per ton, the price
that has ruled during the winter, to 1913
and $3.50 for large lots. The Eprice of soft
coal remains unchanged. These figures are
the same that ruled last year at this time
and the fact that they were returned to is
gratifying to the public. 1t was feared in
many quarters that coal would be so scarce
during the summer that the price would
have to be kept up. There has been consld-
cradle trouble In the mines from strikes and
fires and floods, and there was little coming
forward.
A general strike was threatened ON the
first of May as many of the miners had real
or fancied grievances that they wanted re-
dressed. The strike has not come, however,
up to date and there seems to be no indica
tions that it will develop any more than oc-
casional local troubles.
Freights are improving slightly and there is
considerable demand for barges to transport
coal from the water teImini of the Penn
sylvania coal lines. Mr.. Randall says that
there are only eight stocks of coal on hand
at Eastern points, and that the coal now on
hand at the mines or between the mines and
tide water will soon be delivered to whole
salers North. As household coal bins arc
low at this season of the year. ard it is the
time generally taken for filling them, it is
likely that there will be business enough for
miners and coal freighters for several
I months.
Local coal dealers nave been stocking up
lately, several barge lots having been re-
ceiyed by the Randall-McAllister Company
| and others. A large amount of coal has also
been received here for reshipment to inte-
rior parts of the state by raj, the Maine Cen
trail securing large amount of this bust

Fl. Smith, who afterwards assigned the con-
tract to the defendants. The contract was
for the delivery of $500 tons of ice at $2,75

Stevens had stated If the appropriation was
made $40, 900. he could get the building ready
