Galvanized st.e, Wire Fencing.

The most extensive and complete
plant for the manufacture OF wire fenc-
Ing In the United States Is the De kalb
Fence Company, located at De kalb.
III. For years prior to 1890 barbed
wire was extensively used for
fencing, but those using II often lost In
fine stock. more than It's cost and to
avoid danger to man or beast there was
need OF. and a demand for. a barblesp
fence.
The proprietors OF this company
having spent more than IL years in the
manufacture OF wire fencing. recog-
nized this fact, and have produced the
best lines OF smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now in use. The success OF
this company Is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle Of
making good what they make. putting
enough material in their lines to make
them both strong and serviceable, in
stead OF producing a cheap fimsy ar
ticle only to meet the price OF a fencc
that has never given satisfaction. This
Is what has made their fence so popular
and In such great demand and to-day
they have over 40 special machines.
with capacity OF over % miles Of
fence per day. and their fencing Is used
In every state In the Union. The fence
most used Is their Cable Steel and Hoe
Fence for field fencing. Cable Poultry
Fence. Steel Web Picket Fence, and
Park and Cemetery Fence, and to COM
rlete same they also make gates OF wood
or steel frames to match. and also fur
nish iron posts. All OF their styles OF
fencing are strong. neat, durable and
economical in price.
And everyone needing fencing of any
kind will consult their own interests by
sending to the De Kalb Fence Co.. 121

PICTURESQUE HOLLAND.
Rev. DR.. Bolles's Lecture at Congress
Square Church.

Il
Rev..Dr. Bellies is no stranger to Portland
audiences as a lecturer on foreign lands. al
though it is many years since he has shown
any of the views. taken with his own
camera abroad. 1t was therefore with great
pleasure so many of our well known oitizsns
gathered in Congress square church last
evening. despite the blowy. snowy night. to
travel with the doctor through Holland.
After graceful welcome from Rev. DR..
Blanchard, pastor of the church, DIR. Bolles
proceeded with his lecture. He informed
his hearers that:his visit to Holland took
place last summer, when that country was
inundated with rain storms creating a
second deluge and therefore he had to
seize the opportunities between the drops
to take such snap shots as he could. Then
followed series of views representing the
quaint, old-fashioned buildings, the d, kes
ard canals. the various forms of boats in
use, glimpses of scenery much of which re-
sembled like rural scenes in old England OF
New England, pictures of the peasantry
and their costumes. odd arrangements for
hosting the furniture in and out of houses
by the windows, the attractive arrange
ments for washing the household utensils
in the bitches by the houses. and. in fact it
would take much SPACE to enumerate 1.-THE
of the many attractive points of interest.
One of the oldest Of the many4odd views
shown was that which adorns apothecary
shops in tina. land. the bust of a man, with
a protruding tongue. which takes the place
OF the mortarSa and pestle here. DIR. Rolles's
next lecture will be devoted to historic
Holland and will reproduce many of the
famous public buildings. #A #

BLOWN INTO THE GULF STREAM.
The Matte j. Allies Rough Experience
A Staunch Schooner-Letter from Capt
McDuffie.

Wednesday, Captain George II. Crock
EFT of this city, received letter from
Captain McDuffie of Deering, in com
mand of the three-masted schoon
er Matte j. Allies, now safe in New York
1t will be remem bered that the schooner
left Salem the day before the great storm
of December 9th She was from Phipps
burg Me-, for New York, with cargo
of feldspar, and had put into Salem on
the way.
AS she was long overdue, and her car
90 was of the worst possible kind FOL
rough weather, and as her course was
close along the coast and nothing was
heard of her and no trace of wreckage
was seen, it was feared that she had
foundered in the big storm.
CAPTAIN McDuffie writes that while
trying to round Cape Cod they were
blown out to sea by the storm. They
hove to and drifted before the gale The
ships boat, hung on davits at the stern,
went overheard, but was fastened by a
rope and trailed astern for a day. They
tried to get it back again, and while
endeavoring to hoist it aboard It broke
away and was lost.
1t was large boat, with a centre
board, suitable for the crew to escape in
if the vessel should founder, and it's
loss left them helpless in that respect.
Captain McDuffie said that it was the
worst and most dangerous experience
that ne ever had at sea. But the
staunch vessel weathered the
storm. and though blown clear into the
Gulf Stream, nearly 200 miles off her
course, she arrived in New York, eight
days behind time, but uninjured.

The following decisions In cases pendIng
before the Law court for the WesternaAdisr
trict were received yesterday morning at
the clerk of courts. The opinions and re-
scripts are by Chief Justice Peters.
ANDRosCoGGIN COUNTY.
o. G, Wight VS.. WV. Woodbury..
Rescript-We are of the opinion that the
verdict in this case was wrong. The jury
evidently gave the plaintiff about $120 as
damages for being discharged by the de-
PENDANT from the completion Of an oral
contract to work for. the defendant at small
wages for six months. There is mos de-
cided weight of evidence against the exist
ence of any time contract. All the proba-
bilities are against it. Moreover. the plain
tiff AYERS he was to work at the tailoring
business, and the evidence is that he was
learning ra ther than working the trade.
It is doubtful if the defendant should
have deducted from the plaintiffs wages
ten dollars for the careless burning of onelof
the defendants coats; and if the plaintiff
sees fit to reduce his verdict to the sum of
ten dollars, he may take judgment for that
amount of verdict, otherwise new trial to
be granted.
Plaintiff to remit so as to reduce the YER
dict to the sum of SO III thirty days, or
new trial granted.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Reuben Jones VS.. Elisha g.. Jones.
Rescript-It has never in this state been a
defense to an action of debt on judgment
that the Judgment debtor had been arrested
on an execution issued ON the Judgment,
and been liberated from arrest by giving a
moor debtor bond and disclosing thereon.
There is no illegality in the purchase of
a Judgment by one who was surety of the
Judgment debtor on a poor debtors bond
given by the latter on an execution issued
thereon. Exceptions sustained.
KENNEBEC COUNTY.
George W. nowe VS.. Oliver Moulton.
Rescript-In an action in the name of a
town collector to recover taxes assessed up
on an inhabitant of such town. the assess
tnent of the taxes may be proved by the
production of the list of taxes committed 10
the collector by the assessors under their
hands with their warrant that is an original
paper and not merely a copy of other
records. Exceptions overruled.

pether with the care and custody OF their

BIG PRICE FOR APPLES.
Maine Farmers Getting More for Apples
for Shipment Than for Many Years.

The-demand for apples is SO great in
Liverpool at the present time that
Maine farmers are profting thereby, as
they have not done for years. A Port
land shipper wired to his agent in the
country Thursday to buy 1900 barrels
and to pay the farmers 50 barrel for
both ones and twos. This is a better
price than has been paid for many
years. Generally the price of Maine APP
pies, forsshipment to England, AS paid
to the farmer at this time of year, is
from ST. to $1.25.
But for some reason. probably due to
scnrcity3of the crop IN other sections
of this country, there is at present de-
mand in Liverpool that will cause Maine
orchardist to make dollar. e sg G j
