SUPERIOR COURT.
Before Judge Bonney.

~SNOAO
Mary E. M orse of Scarboro brought
suit against Alvinza Libby of Cape
Elizabeth yesterday, to recover $51 for
one-haf the services of her minor son,
who worked six months for Libby in the
spring and summer of 1895. She claims
that when Libby came to hire the boy she
told him that the boy was q minor, and
she was sick and needed part Of his
wages for her support that Lib by, with
the consent of the boy, who was present
at the conversation, agreed to pay to her
cne-half of the boys wages The wages
of the boy were to be seventeen dollars
a month. The boy is son of Mrs
Morse by her first husband, she having
married second time, and is now living
with her present husband.
Mr.. Libby denies that he ever agreed
to pay her one-half the wages. He
claims that he made the contract with
the boy alone, and week after, when he
went after the boy. Mrs Morse said
while the son was out of the room, ri
shall look to you for one-half Of the
wages Mr.. Libby replied that he
didn't care who had it.
Mr.. Libby and the son claim that the
wages were no more than was necessary
to purchase necessary clothing for sum-
mer and winter, including an overcoat
The boy admits that he paid $35 of his
wages for bicycle.
1t was claimed OH the part of the de-
Tense that the boy had been emancipated,
that is, given his own time, by the fact
that his mother had driven him from
home and ordered him to earn his own
living and he had acquiesed.
The Court instructed the jury that tn e
plaintiff was entitled to recover unless
they found that the boy had been eman-
cipated prior to the performance of the
labor Verdict for the defendant.
A. W. Bradbury for plaintiff.
D. A. Meaher for defendant.

MORE OF DUNRAVEN.
The investigation Beginning to Assume an
International Character.

New York, December 10-The bitter
feeling aroused here and in England by
the extraordinary charges of unfair play,
made by Lord Dunraven against the De-
fender syndicate. has caused their inves-
tigation to assume an international as
pect The special committee of the New
York yacht club having the matter in
hand has shown its appreciation of the
gravity of the task entrusted to. it, and,
at the same time, it's determination to
reach decision which sportsmen on both
sides of the AtlantiorTshould accept as con-
elusive, by adding to its number Edward
J. Phelps, former minister to England,
and Captain Alfred T. Mahan, of the
United States Navy, whose works have
probably made him even more popular in
England than he is here.
Their appointment was announced in
o statement given ont by the committee.
1t also contained the information that
Lord Dunrayen had caD]ed his intention
of sailing from England on the Gerlnanic
on December II to appear before The
committee with such evidence as he can
obtain in support of his extraordinary
charges.
The statement also contained the signi-
can't information that the Royal Yacht
SQUADRON had declined to take any action
in the matter, regarding the controversy
as personal one so far as concerns
Lord Dunrayen's participation in it.
Thus he is left to fight his battle alone.
But the names of those comprising the
committee is a guarantee that he will
receive the fairest of fair play in mis- en-
deavors to prove that ballast was surrep-
fitiously added to the Defender to give
her an unfair advantage over the Valky-
rie in the frat race for the America cup.
