THE JONES ESTATE.
1t Has Been Leased to James Cunningham
for a Term of Years.

There has been talk that Mr.. Ell. Davies,
who represents Miss Mary Jones (the owner
Of the large estate corner of PARK and Con-
gress streets on which stands the house
known for years as the Jones boarding
house, and later as the Mussey house, would
move the house onto the lot next to Mr.. J..
l.! Libby's on Park street, and erect on its
site, and extending back on Congress
street a handsome block.
Yesterday, the report was current that
the property had been sold to Mr.. James
Cunningham, the well known contractor,
for $4,000, and that Mr.. Cunningham would
erect block at once. Mr.. Davies, on being
asked as to the truth of the report, said
that the property in question had been
leased to Mr.. Cunningham for ten years
with many rights and privileges. These
rights gave him the opportunity to move
the present house, erect a block, and as
well as could be understood. do with the
property pretty much as he desired.
Mr.. James Cunningham said that he had
virtually bought the property as an invest
ment for his family. He should pull down
the old mansion as he had carefully ex-
amined it and found it worthless. What he
he should erect on the site he had not yet
determined. He had received suggestions
from the Cumberland club as to the erection
of building for club house; of well
known hotel men for first class modern
hotel; and of enthusiasts for an opera
house. 1t is a fine site and may be utilized
by him in the Congress street side, for a
handsome block He shall determine soon
what he shall do with it.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES
Tried Before Judge Webb Yesterday
Large Sums of Money Involved.

There was special session of the United
States court yesterday to try a case where
Edgar f. Hanson of Belfast was plaintiff
and West & Jenny of Boston, the defend
ants The case involved a promisory note
and interest to the amount of about 1880.
The case was put over from the last gen
eral session. 1t appeared before the jury
yesterday morning and was settled by
private agreement among the counsel. 1t
grew out of the sale of the Dana Sarsapa-
rilla company plant to Boston syndicate,
in 1892, of which Che defendants, West and
Jenny. wholesale druggists, were members.
Mr. Hanson was formerly manager of the
plant at Belfast, and heavy owner. He
owned fifty-nine shares.
Another case was also tried before Judge
Webb, yesterday forenoon. 1t involved the
title to a piece of land in Bar llarbor that
belonged to George WV. Dove, of Andover,
Mass. In February, 1889, he assigned in
favor of his creditors. The assignment was
recorded in Hancock county. The Belfast
Savings bank held Doves note for about
$4,000, and in September, 1889, got an at
tachment on this piece of land in Bar Har-
Dor, owned by Mr.. Dove. 1t seized and sold
the land, itself being the buyer. The plain
tiffs in the case were Stowe and Morrison of
Boston, who brought an action against the
Savings bank, by virtue of being creditors
in favor of whom Dove assigned. The ques-
ton was whether the assignment of Dove
takes precedence of the attachment OF the
Savings bank. Hon. W. H. Fogler of Rock
land, appeared for the Belfast Savings
bank, and Edward Woodman, ESQ.,, Of this
city for Stowe and Morrison. The Judge
reserved his decision.
