stract of the allegations set forth in the
bill, with the defendants answers to
each immediately following. "When it
is shown said Walker, "that the gov

brings to you an incomplete, insufficient
and vague information, such as iurIl-

a badge of haste and resumption? Not
only this, but they were in ssuch hur-
ry that they asked for and received an at

obtained an order to show cause. Is this
court to be asked to play the part of
a master in chancery or the part of Il
a prying detective to go out into the BY

government should have gathered be-

withdraw its information and file full
particulars. why so do it.
Mr.. Bancroft, of the Santa Fe road, be-
gan his argument as soon as Mr.. Erwin
had finished. He reviewed mainly the
ground that had already been traversed.
1t was O'clock when the arguments were
concluded, and it took the judges just three
minutes to decide on the question of ad-
instability of the testimony, which is the
only one considered. While the case has
criminal characteristics said J udge Woods,
1t is nevertheless case in equity, and we
hold that the defendants answer is not con-
elusive. JudgesWoods said he would COM
mence the hearing of testimony tomorrow
morning, but reserved the right to still
transfer it. The judge took occasionto warn
the defendants that if they continued to in
terfere with the employees of the railroads,
even by advice, it would be very hard for
them in the case. They were adjudged
guilty of contempt and the court was adj

They We're Frightened Away After
Severely Beating Him-Might Have
Intended Robbery.
For several days the police officers of
Portland and South Portland have been at
work endeavoring to arrest three men for a
most outrageous assault upon an inoffensive
man. 1t seems that last Saturday night,
Mr.. James McCusker OF South Portland, had
been on visit to this city and started to
return. He went down to the ferry at few
minutes after ten o'clock, and as the boat
was on the other side, he sat down near the
corner of the building to wait for her.
g Soon man approached, a young man,
who.turned out afterward to be one Culran
of South Portland. He accosted MeCusker
and said What are you doin' here? Are
you Pooducker waiting for the boat?'
McCusker replied in the affirmative. Cur
ran said, Are you union man and in the
striker McCusker replied in the negative
Curran said that he was union man and
a shoe maker, and said that McCusker was

McCusker is a carpenter, and very mild,
peaceable man. about 45 years old, and
weighs only 130 pounds. He told Curran
that he was not g fighting man. Then Cur
ran wanted McCusker to strike him and he
would do him VI"
McCusker told him to go away and de-
clared that he would do no fighting. He
had stood up by this time. Curran took off
his hat and attempted to butt McCusker in
the stomach with his head, but the latter
came within reach, and sent Curran back
ward.
Just then a Fort soldier came up and
seized Curran, and two men named Suther-
land and Fowler. rushed out from behind a
building and attacked them. Fowler struck
tired. Then the two men attacked Nc
Cusker, and beat him badly in the face, and
he thinks they must have kicked him in the
ribs, as he is very lame. He did not know
his three assailants, but the soldier identi-
fed all of them.
A man approached down the wharf and
the three roughs ran away and took the
other ferry for their homes in South Port
land Sunday officer Skillings arrested
Southerland in this city, and Monday Officer
Ball arrested Curran, who is an old
offender.
Fowler was away from home all day. but
the officers were on the lookout and when
he returned home last night he was arrested
and brought to the city.

There are Ave independent bydrants in
Augusta. Four of these are on Water
street and one at the corner of Cony ana
Bowman streets. An independent by
drant is a four-way hydrant. 1t differs
from the other, or three-way hydrants' OF
this city, in having a gate on the INSIDE.
nv order of Chief Engineer Kicker, these
gates have been raised and will be kept so
for the benefit both of the fire department
and the Water Company. Members OF the
various fire companies will hereafter use
them lust as they do the three-way hydrants
with the gates they carry on their hose car
riage. Hitherto consid cradle difficulty has
been experienced in the managing the IN
denendens hydrants, owing to the fact that
many of the firemen have not understood
how TO uss them. The Water Company has
thus far repaired the damage occasioned to
the independent by drants in times of fire at
its own expense. 1t would be great task
for the chief engineer to give each member
of the various hose companiesNpersonal in
struction in the use of these bydrants, and
Il is to obyiste the necessity of this and to
pro,ect the company that he has had the
oates raised. In conversation with JOUR
NAL reporter Mr.. Kicker expressed the
on;nion that Augusta had the best water
supply in Maize, aud one that has never yet
failed the department in time of need.
