Various reports have been circulated as
to the amount of the salary of the city
marshal, established for the coming
year BY an ordinance of the city council.
The sum stated in that ordinance was
S25 per year, a reduction OF SO from 9he
present salary of 500. The Office OF clty
marshal in this city is virtually
sinecure as he has no specially defined
duties. and his work consists In making
out a pay roll for three policemen fort
nightly throughout the year, and the at
tendance to few other matters OF an
even less laborious nature. The present
CITY marshal is an efficient officer with
whom no fault can be found. The aboi-
ishment of the Office and theslnvestment
of its powers with one OF the policemen
would work no detriment to the police
service of our city.
That bridge will be built across the

almost foregone conclusion. Petltions

have been received in cases pending be-
fore the law court for the Western Dis
trict.
YORK COUNTY.
John W. Bettinson VS.. Addison Lowery.
Rescript by Judge Haskell. When a
reDlevin suit abates or is nonsult, a
RETURN is always ord cred as matter of
course, except when non cepit alone is
pleaded and the court has no power to do
otherwise The suit miscarries, and the
parties are simply placed in statu quo.
They are only put in position to enforce
their right anew. The judgment for re-
turn is conclusive, in such cases, no.
where, but in suit upon the replevin
bond, in order to secure return OF the
property from whence it was unlawfully
taken. In this case no other procedure
was posi- BILE, and the plaintiff lost moth
ing from the absence of his counsel in
court when the order was made. Excep-
tions overruled.
KENNEBEC COUNTY.
Thomas W. Scrlbner VS.. Vassalbor
Wooden Mills.
Rescript. by Judge Whitehouse The
plaintiff signed the following contract
with the defendant. viz: II agree to
finish and paint these ocffies, kalsomIn-
rangement, and finish the same on or
before the 18th day of July for the sum
of ninety-one dollars and $1,000. Day
work So. 5O.n The plaintiff claims that
by request of the defendant he painted
the superintendent Office, which,. he
says was not included in the term these
offices" used in the contract, and also
performed the extra work to a large
amount. After receiving SS5 in cash
the plaintiff brings his suit to recover
S146.7O additional, for labor and ma
terials," on the ground that the extra
work could not be separated from the
work done under the contract. The jury
gave him a verdict of $131. 81. This
amount is undou btedly excessive. 1t was
not controverted that three months after
the completion Of the work the plaintiff
presented written statement of his ex-
ira work showing his total claim to be
SS5. So He seems to have had no diff
Guilty at that time in separating the ex-
ira work from that done under the con-
tract 1t appears, however, from his
own testimony at the trial that the value
of the extra work and material did not
exceed $S1. SO. All of the verdict above
this amount must have been the result
of misapprehension or prejudice on the
part of the jury. Such palpable error
on their part in this respect, suggests
the necessity of still further scrutiny of
their action; and after patient analysis
of all the evidence and careful computa-
Jion in regard to the extra labor and
materials, we are satisfied that justice
requires the verdict to be still further re-
duced. If the plaintiff accepts the sum
of sixty three 91-10U dollars in lieu of the
verdict, the motion for new trial is
overruled. Otherwise the motion is
sustained and a new trial granted.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3O.-Two import
ant and significant japanese victories
are recorded by United States Minister
DENLY in a cable to the state depart
ment from Pekin Tuesday. He says
that the Chinese forces have been de-
feated at Ch I-Lien- Cheng and have re-.
treated to Moukden; also hereports that
the Japanese have taken one of the Chi
nese forts at Port Arthur.
The scene OF the first engagement is
just across the Yalu river in Manchuria
and It marks the first real aggressive
movement by the Japanese on Chinese
soil, for it Is believed here the preceding
movements on the west side of the Yalu
river by the Japanese have been in the
nature of skirmishes to develop the real
strength of the Chinese forces This
having been done the Japanese are sup
posed to have formally entered upon the
campaign with Moukden, the Manchur.
ian capital, as the objective point.
= Unless they are fully prepared to
make this a winter campaign, some
thing heretofore unknown in eastern
warfare, they will be obliged to force
the fighting and move with great speed,
as Is days remain before cold weather
comes.
In the neighborhood of Port Arthur,
where the second Japanese success is
reported, the winter climate is not SO
severe, and operations may be main
tanned until much later in the season.
