LAWYER JONES LIBEL SUIT.
Editor Durham and Reporter Roman
Not Actuated bY MalIce.

The case of Jay F. Durham, editor Of
the News, and Charles j. Roman. a re-
porter, charged with criminal libel by
Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, was called in
the police court yesterday by Prosecuting
Attorney A. r. Mullowney. Messrs. A. A
Lpscomb and Charles H. Turner repre-
sented the defendants
Mr. Zones was sworn and testified
that an article published In the News a
couple of weeks ago referred to him in
very Injurious terms. He did not think
either of the defendants had any ILL
feeling toward him. In response TO
question from Mr. LipScomb Mr.. Jones
said that he understood that the word
''capping" used in the article referred
TO meant offering his services as a LAWYER
The article, he said, made 1T appear that
he solicited business in violation of the
rules OF the court.
Randolph W. Smith, reporter. testi-
fled TO the positions of the defendants
on the News, and Reporter Roman was
put on the stand. He testified that the
article in question was written by him on
hearsay, and was a mistake He could
not say who told him the story, and said
that he had not known Jones. He said
was called TO his attention he wrote a
correction, which was published.
Judge Miller read the correction, and
remarked that it was a correction which
did not correct.
Mr.. Durham testified that the article
had passed through his hands, as did the
correction. He had never heard of Jones
until the matter came up, and there was
no malice or intent to injure him in She
publication.
During the argument Lawyer Jones
stated that he had no ill-fceling toward
the defendants and simply brought the
suit to Obtain a vindication. If, he said.
the defendants would promise linn a full
retraCtion. he would request the court to
dismiss the case.
Mr. Lipscomb refused on behalf OF the
defendants 10 do this, as he thought the
law had not been violated, and both he
and his colleague desired TO have the case
tried on its merits.
Judge Miller viii hear the arguments
Monday morning and dispose of the case.

Secretary of State Palmer of New York,
takes no stock in the story that S ONE sort
of an alliance has been patched up be-
tween ex-President Harrison and Gov.
Morton by which the latter has consented
to accept the second place on the ticket if
Mr.. Harrison should get the first "Mr
Norton, he says, "has been Vice Presi-
dent once and the office probably has no
further attractions for him. Besides, the
fact must be considered that he was
elected governor of New York in 1894 by
the remarkable majority of 5000, and
that his course as governor has been high
~ satisfactory to his fellow citizens, ire
spective of party. 1 think that popular
as he was when he became governor, he
is much stronger man today; for as the
chief executive of the state he has carried
out the general will in a variety of
ways"

The Gould family are still in trouble
over their taxes. The New York asses
sors have assessed the personality of the
estate at SO, 900, 900 and George Gould
contends that this is out of all manner
of proportion to the rate of assessment
of other New York multi-millionaires.
He shows that the personal estate of w.
H. Vanderbilt was assessed at IS, 900, 600
in 1898, although its real value was 500, :
900, 900 those of Cornelius and Willie K.
Vanderbilt were assessed for $780, 600 each
while they were reputed to be worth
800, 600, 900 each; Russell Sage he said
was only taxed on an assessment of $500, :
600; the Tilden estate $780, 600; Andrew
Carnegie on $3.50, 900 and Coils P. Hunt
ington one of the wealthiest men in the
coutry on $3.50, 600. If Mr.. Gould's state
ments are correct he has good reason for
making fuss over his own assessment
for there is no good reason why he
should be singled out and taxed far
beyond what other estates commonly re-
puted to be larger than his are paying
What the New York assessors should do
is to raise the taxes on all of them.

are not, and declares its intention to

June LIST, 1895.
Price los and interest yielding net
return of about AZ per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May list, 1893,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at 4} per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
$3.50. 900 bonds are already outstanding,
and $4,000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; Of this 1920, 900, we shall receive
for delivery $3.50, 900 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1850, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is a first lion on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20. IA miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less
than $4,000 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, 500, $50. 20
Expenses and taxes, 1853, 979. IS
Net, s37,572 AZ
Interest, S,622.A
----
Surplus, $28, 950.0S
It will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
motors, snow plough, / mile new
track, etc., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of 100000 t,oice over.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
whole Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at 115 to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have costin 1892, is at least $15O, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175,0O0 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning a better income than
any other homo security of similar
standing.
