The settlement of some of the cases Of
land damages on the Bangor & ARGOS
took railroad are amusing to say the
least. The Houlton Pioneer this week
has solid broadside of legal notices of
the county commissioners on the differ
ent claims, where the commissioners
were called upon to assess the damages
when the owners and the railroad COM
pany failed to agree. 1t takes nearly
half a column of solid, fine type to legal
" tell that John P.Webber has been al
lowed SIS for damages upon his land in
the town of Sherman and that the ex-
penses of the county commissioners in
fixing this sum were $3.50. The cost OF
advertising alone must have exceeded
Mr.. Webber's damages, but it is sup
posed that he neither could afford to
give so valuable right of way or agree
upon proper sum with the represents
tives of the company.

But we are informed that the plans
provided for the good Of tho district In
Its present form will include all that

trict. Also that II the division asked
for Is made, the trustees OF the Tweu-
ty.ninth District will be m atcrially In.
Jufed financially while the plans de.

Il seems that In December, 1890, a
tax was levied according TO law for the
erection OF a school house, and this wns
supplemented by n further tax In
December, 1891. This building is APP
proachiug completion, and the trustees
have made contracts which will re-
quire further expenditu res, for which
they lave become responsible. And u
win require the taxes for the whole
district TO relieve them Of the obliga.

There are primary schools 10 three
parts Of the district. The trustees pro.
pose to build a school house for the
Forest Dale children. The building
now In process is for n higher school to
which the primary scholars in the sub
districts may graduate. This will save
the necessity OF sending them into this
city or elsewhere for advanced educa.

welfare Of the whole school distrlct as
at present constituted, aud not make
any divisions that will be u dolrime Mt

pected that this people OF every section

ONLY JUSTICE DEMANDED.

FROM the testimony adduced In the
Investigation before the Mayor, II APP
pears that he was perfectly Justified 10
removing the officers charged with
conduct Incompatible with their official
positions. His structures on the mngis'
trate who seems 10 have shared In
their orgies seem also TO be WARRANTED
by the evidence. But his assault on
the City Councilmcn who obtained the
proofs, simply became they did 20, does
not strike US ~ very consistent or fair
to those gentlemen. Does the Mayor
mean to say 1t was unofficial
or wrong for public men to
investigate for Themselves the
conduct Of police officers suspected Of
gross improprieties? Does he mean to
say that private citizen would have
no right to satisfy himself on that
polng II is altogether probable
that ~ It had not been fof
tho vigilance Of those Council'
men, the evil complained OF
would have gone on unfebuked aud
perhaps unknown even by the Mayor
Let Us have light on this matter. But
let us also have Justice. II these
gentlemen did their duty they must
not be blamed for II even by the Tx
ecutive OF the city. The committee In
this matter are expected to do
what IL right and nothing more.

Such an occurrence IL an anomaly In

usurped by employers and gang OF

sent the movement, and human lives
arc taken by wholesale. Pinkertonism

will occur will be OF a very pronounced
character. As has usually been'tho
case when the "Grund Old Man" has

WATERWAYS GREAT MINE.
The Stonewall Is Again Reported


The Stonewall Is Again Reported
Sold.
Private letters from Julian, San Diego
county, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, announce that the StoneWall mine,
the property of the late Governor Water
man, located nine miles from Julian,
has been sold at last. The purchasers
are syndicate OF Chicago capitalists,
and the price isstated as something over
$4,000, 600, figure Waterman refused
shortly before his death. The property
has been especially yremunerative for the
past year. 1t has been in charge of the
ex-governor's eldest son, Walter Water
man, and the announcement of the sale
is based on his word. He has lived at
the mine with his family for some years,
and is now preparing to remove to San
Diego. The sale includes, it is under
stood, the Cuyamaca grant OF 2l,O0O
acres of land, sawmills and other i'm
provements, and the money is to be paid
when the title passes. This sale will
enable the heirs to make partition OF
the estate.

But de Escaped Any Very Serious In
jury.
A man whose name was not ascer-
tanned by the police had a miraculous
escape from serious injuries yesterday
afternoon at the viaduct, near the old
San Fernando depot.
He was said to be intoxicated. and
was sitting on the dummy OF cable
car going over the viaduct. There are
two or three curves in the viaduct,
where the car turns quite sharply. At
one of these turns the man was thrown
off the dummy and dropped on the
planks. The momentum he had from
the fall precipitated him from the
yiaduct, and he fell clear to the ground.
A telephone call was sent from the
furniture factory at the south end of the
viaduct for the patrol wagon, the mes
sage being that a man was lying uncon-
scious under the viaduct. The patrol
wagon went down, but when Officer Cox
reached the scene OF the accident he

found that the man had picked himself
up, and, slightly bruised, had started
away, accompanied by friend. From
those who saw the man it was learned
that he had fallen distance of twenty.
five or thirty feet without being injured
beyond slight cut on the head.
