After considerable debate the point of
n der was sustained against the amend

ment.
Mr.. Caruth of Kentucky, called atten-
tion to the nationa!! postage movement,
having for it's object the securing OF
legislation to reduce :the rate of letter
postage from two cents to one cent an
ounce. He said it was a scheme which,
if successful, would result in putting
millions of dollars in the pockets of the
managers. The plan was to secure COLI
tributions through the state organiza
tions from large patrons of the postal
service, sof half the amount annually
saved by the proposed change. Receipts
from the letter postage last year, Mr..
Caruth said, was about $4, 600, 600, so
even if ten per cent of the post Office pa
irons contri butte the managers would
reap a reward Of over two and a quar-
ter millions.
The bill was agreed to in committee
without change. and reported to the
House and passed.
The House adjourned.

Special to the PRESS.
Bangor, January "a most interesting
case has been on trial in the Supreme court
this week, which we'll illustrates the deceit
full manner in which some people take 10
make trade. William Klein of Highlands,
Col, brought suit against Crosby o. Howe,
citizen Of Dixmont, in this state. Klein
claimed that a year or more ago lie owned
property in the western city, consisting of
a brick block and six tenements valued at
$4,000. A man representing Howe called
on Klien and asked him if he would not like
to exchange his Highlands property for a
large farm in Dixmont.
The agent represented that the farm con-
tanned nearly 800 acres of first class land,
that it cut rs tons of hay, and that it was
in a hight state of cultivation. In TACT it
was o. X. in every respect. being free from
rocks and stumps and worth $l2.0 .000.
Klein relying upon these representations
made an exchange of property. Last winter
he came to the Pine Tree State with his
family. The farm was then covered with
snow and he could not get much of an idea
of his new home. In the spring he began to
cultivate it, and soon found that it was
yery.rocky. and instead of cutting rs tons
of hay, it cut but so at the outside. He dis
covered that the property was worth only
about $500 instead of $4,000. He began
correspondence with Howe, demanding
some kind of satisfaction for the deciet
praciiced upon him, and finally sued him
for SI2. 900 damages. The case was before
the court for four or five days. and finally
the jury brought in verdict of only $1,000.
This did not satisfy Klein and it went to
the Law court.
A change is reported in the ownership of
the Bangor Daily News, by which Mayor
Beal, Hon. e. q. Blake and others come
into possession of the property. The News
has been in existence five or six years, and
has recently been run by the Bangor Pub
fishing company, Charles NJ. Stewart,
manager. The new owners are now in
search of an editor, and a Lewiston Dlan
has been mentioned. The paper has been
edited for year or two past by Virgil q.
Eaton. formerly of the boston Globe. The
new owners intend to make several import
ant impI ovements in the plant.
