AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
A Donaldson Steamer Libelled by a Steve
dore.

In April. 1898. John W. Mcdonald, a
steyedore, while at work loading the
Donaldson Steamship Company's liner
Warwick, fell through hatchway and
was killed. 1t [; was claimed that the
hatchway was open, unguarded and IN
lighted through the ALLEGED negligence
of the officers of the ship. Yesterday
Drew & Whitehouse, attorneys at law,
brought suit against the Donaldson
Steamship company for S10,000 DANA
ges. The suit was brought by Della Il.
Mcdonald, sister of the dead man and
administrative of his estate. The Dom
aldson liners have not visited this FORT
this season and their regular Office has
not been opened. They have in years
past. however, run their liners regularly
into this port and it is said that one OF
their boaGs will toucL this port on It's
way to Baltimore. This necessitates the
service being made on Verrill q Verrlll,
the alleged attorneys of the Donaldson
line. This Will bring up rather novel
poipt of law as to what constitutes an
attorney of a nonresident for purpose
of service of processes. The papers on
the case were served yesterday morning,
and the case will probably come to trial
in April. This is the first time a ques-
tion OF this nature has arisen in Maine
and the progress of the suit will be
watched with great interest. by the law
yers of this city.

The schoon er Clara Goodwin.

The Bath schooner, Clara Goodwin, so
the latest advices received in Portland
state, reached Nassau on the 8th inst.
many days overdue. When she reached
Nassau the crew were suffering from
lack of provisions. She lost her sails
and was leaking badly in her upper
works. This is the schooner that at one
time was thought to have been lost
The reason for her long delay in max
ing any port was that she was blown off
the coast twice on her voyage from Tam
pa and the men were about played out.

who will speak in Portland Thursday
under the auspices of the Equal Suffrage

Portland, as she lectured in this city
last spring before the Woman's Literary

were unable to listen to her pleasing
address at that time. Those and many
others will be glad of the present oppor-
tunity of hearing so charming and gift
ed a speaker.

. Dark Horse.
CHICAGO, May s1.--The ninth annual
Chicago road race, covering q course Of q
fraction over eighteen miles, from the
Grant monument in Lincoln Park to
South Evanston and return, was run yes
terday, and resulted in victory for Homer
Fairmon, Of the Chicago Cycling club.
There were 595 entries. Falrmon started
from the 8 min. 40 sec. mark in the handi-
cap. and made the run in the riding time
Of u4 min. and SO secs. Last year he rode
In tho same event, but fell before COM
plotting the circuit. As he has not been a
factor in any other races, he must be put
down as a winning dark horse.
The most remarkable work Of any OF
the riders was that of George l.. Emerson,
OF the Englewood Cycling club, who
started from the $50 mark and finished
second in 52. IA, securing the $500 prize for
best time. He was not thought capable
of the ride he accomplished yesterday. In
1893 he secured third time in the Pullman
road race, but slnee that time he has not
figured prominently, excepting some fast
work on the track at Rockford, Ills, in
the same year. Englewood, southern
suburb of Chicago, gathered in the greater
part OF the honors, securing, besides the
time prize, second. thirdsand eighth places
by tho fast riding Of Rosback, Hoffman
and Frosh, respectively.
About 1900 people viewed the start and
finish, and fully 2oo,o saw 1t throughout
Its length, going aud coming. At the
finish the scene was Of unusual color for u
bicycle race. The crowd was banked against
the ropes In solid masses, and 1t required
the utmost vigilance Of $50 policeman to
keep the excited, cheering crowd from
breaking down the rope baffier and swarm
ing upon the track The event was prob
ably the most brilliant ever carried out in
the cycling line.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
A Day Of yete MessaEes--senator Quay st
the CnpItAI.

the Capital.
HARRISBURG, May 8l.-Joint- Memorial
Day exercises were held yesterday in the
hall Of the house Of representatives. The
affair was in charge OF the old soldiers or
ganization Of the legislature, and was par
tioipated In by members Of both bodies.
The chamber was tastefully decorated
with flags, banners and flowers. The ex-
srcises continued over an hour.
At the close Of the exercises the senate
retired and the house proceeded to the
consideration of the local and special bills
on second reading Srhe calendar was
cleared and the AFTERNOON and evening
Sessions devoted to appropriation bills, o
large number being passed.
The afternoon session Of the house ad-
iourned fifteen minutes earlier than usual
so that the members might pay their re-
spects to Senator Quay, who reached this
city In the afternoon from his home in
Beaver. Senator Gtay expects to remain
In the city over Sunday. His visit is un-
derstood to be for the purpose Of confer
ring with his friends in the legislature
and urge them not to permit the passage
Of the apportionment bills.
Governor Hastings sent two veto mes
sages to the house. The first relates to
house bill limiting the duration Of the lien
OF taxes against real estate. 1t Is vetoed
because such a law would in the opinion
Of the governor, be very burdensome on
all persons whose interest IL Is to deter
mine the amount of membranes upon
real estate.
The second veto Of the bill ''authorizinR
appeals to be made in equity cases of ac-
count where the liability to account is In
Issue from the preliminary order or decree
OF court requiring an account" is sent In
because better bill on the same subject,
the governor says, which was introduced
In the senate is In process Of passage
through the assembly.
Owing to the joint memorial services In
the hall Of the house the senate did very
little business. Before these services were
begun large number Of bills were re-
ported from committee. Several vetoes
were received from the governor. Among
the bills disapproved was one granting
about q, 800 to Felix G.. NeFley, of ALLIE
gheny, for recruiting services during the
war. The governor also vetoed the bill TO
pay for the electric light and rent for the
Worlds fair rooms In this city, grano.
lithic pavement for the Capitol park, etc.
Another veto was OF the concurrent rese-
luton for the payment Of over te0, 900, In
possession Of the state, to the unpaid la
borers employed in the construction of
the Wernersville Hospital for the Chronic
Insane, and the men who furnished ma
terials for the building. The governor
holds that the German American Title
and Trust company of Philadelphia has
claim which takes precedence over that
OF the laborers and material men.

Keenan, Won the BrookIyn Derby,

NEW YORK, May 5i.-About 8, 900 people
went down to Gravesend track yesterday
to watch the racing and good card had
been provided for the sport. The chief
event on the card was the Brooklyn derby,
in which Counter Tenor and keenan, were
about equal favorites. At the turn into
the stretch all but these two had given 1t
up and it looked as II Keenan could not
run much further. Counter Tenor was
leading at the last eighth, but Lamley
paid SO much attention to the horse behind
him that he allowed Counter Tenor to
rush to the outside of the track and there
fore lost the race, as Keenan, ran straight
and won. Time, 21ol5.
