THE VOTE STAINED.
The Oxford County Court House May Be
Erected at South Paris.

Bangor, Me-, January 2.-Chief Justice
Peters has returned the following decis-
ion in the Oxford county court house
case, ruling against the complainants on
all points, and susta-ing the declared
vote OF the county to remove the county
seat to South Paris d erect new
county building.
A proposition submitted by county
commissioners to be passed upon by the
voters of their county to see if such COM
missioners shall be authorized to con-
struct new county buildings on new
site therefor, at a cost not to exceed
$50, 600, and be further authorized to hire
money on the credit of the county for
the purpose of such construction is not
Objectionable as covering more than one
subject matter or thing; the elements of
site, construction, cost and credit are no
issue tban parts of one and the same
proposition. A vote of county for
general terms authorizing its commlss-
toner's to hire money on Its bonds or
notes for public purposes leaves to the
commissioners to determine upon what
time and other terms the same shall be
issued. 1t is not Objectionable to require
voters to cast their ballots on special
questions submitted to them with only
LIS WOTu yes VI HI luSGIIOCu
on nor Objectionable to require that such
ballots be received in a separate box
specially provided for the occasions.
Such is the usual method, and one
sanctioned by legislative precedent.
1t was represented strongly at the
argument that $50. 900 was not sufficient
to build new buildings, including Jail,
and that in view of the narrow majority
| by which the vote was carried. and the
| insuficiency of the amount of funds
voted, it would be wise to postpone
action in the premises until some further
ARRANGEMENTS can be perfected in tehalf
| of the scheme of removal. Those are
matters to be presented to the commits
sioners, and not to us; but we assume
| that the commissioners will take all
such suggestions into careful consider
alton.
On account of the uncertainty of the
vote, we have no doulit the complainants
| acted in the pu bile interest in thorough
| ly Investigating, as they have, the mat
| ters affecting the result of the election !;
| and on that account we think it would
| be reasona BILE that they be exonerrated
| from costs, and that they recover their
court costs, including the expense of
copies and printers bill, but not includ-
| ing the cost OF witnesses, the amount of
| ali the same to be paid out of the treas
ury of Oxford county upon the warrant
of the commi issioners.
Kill dismissed.

Boston, January AIN the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals today.
Justices Colt, Putnam and Nelson pre-
siding. a writ of error brought by the
Grand Trunk Railroad Company against

This controversy comes from the Cir

While Many Other Textile Plants Have
Former Capacity.
Boston, Mass, January 2.-The Ameri-
annual review of mill construction
throughout the country, tomorro W will
give some interesting data. During the
past six months the improvement in the
general business situation has appeared
in no uncertain manner in the under
taking of the construction of a large
number of textile plants. In the first
six months of 1894, the number OF new
mills was 113. a wonderful showing con-
sidering the condition of the business
world. and since the middle of the year
the construction of no less than 147 tex
tile plants has been undertaken. an in
crease of 81 compared with the previous
six months. The record for the year is
1853 new mills, against 279 in the cores
ponding period of 1898, and 356 for
1892. The new mills commenced during
the first and second halves OF 1854, IN
comparison, are as follows:
First six months-Woolen /, cotton 43,
knitting 81, silk 1s, felt 2, miscellaneous
10; total 116.
Second SIX months-Woolen 90, cotton
5s, knitting 3sssilk S,felt 1, miscellaneous
IA; total 147.
The Southern States makes very good
showing in mum ber of new mills, un-
dertaken during the latter portion of
the year; New York andPennsylvania lead,
next comes North Carolina with 16, South
Carolina with IA, Georgia with 13.
The record by states for the whole year
is: New York 3S, Pennsylvania Sc, North
Carolina az, South Carolina 90. Georgia
10, Massach usetts Is, Maine IL, Virginia
and Rhode Island s each, Texas and Con-
nectIcut each. The remaining So are
divided among the other states. After
looking over the Mmposing additions,
both in buildings and machinery. no
other conclusion can be reached than
that the American manufacturer is thor
oughly equipped with the modern and
improved appliances to meet successfully
both the domestic and foreign compet-
itor, and he goes into the field fully pre-
pared to hold the domestic mark ct
against all corners.
Very important additions are made by
a large mum ber of companies, some be
ing such as to double the capacity OF
the mills.
