IMPORTANT DECISION.
In the Case of the Grand Trunk Against
Cumberland County Commissioners.

In the case Of the Grand Trunk Rail
way Co petitioner for Certiorari against
the County Commissioners of Cumber-
land Co., the following rescript by Judge
W hitehouse has been received
On petition of the municipal officers
Of Pownal, the County Commissioners of
Cumberland County adjudged that a flag
man was necessary at the intersection of
the railway with certain highway in
the town. But by an amendment to the
Statute which took effect after the hear
ing before the commissioners and prior to
their decision, jurisdiction of tine SUBJ
ject matter embraced in the petition was
taken from the County Commissioners
and conferred upon the railroad com
missioners, without any saving clause
respecting proceedings then pending.
This had the effect to invalidate the de-
cision of the County Commissioners sub
sequently rendered. The Statute proyid-
ing that factions pending at the time of
the passage or repeal of an act are not
affected thereby is not applicable for the
reason that the word action in that
Statute does not include petition pend
ing before the County Commissioners
such as is here under consideration. Write
of Certiorari to issue.

Water Front Notes.

Mr.. Sargent Of the firm of Sargent &
Dennison, said yesterday that there is in
his opinion no truth in the report that
coal Is to be advanced. 81 see no reason
whatever for such an advance, "rsaid Mr..
Sargent, land do not believe there will
be another advance during December,
| if there is during the winter.' There
are now eight four masters with full
cargoes of coal in this harbor, beside those
dlscharging at the pockets, SO there is no
immediates fear of coal famine, should
there be another rike.
1t is hoped that the ST. Croix will be
ready for the making of trial trip to
Boston today if tho weather is pleasant.
She promises to be credit to the city,

comes fully up to his expectations.
The schooner Hattie Maud, with 10, 900

Every year. Swedes come from the west
to this cityain order to go back to Sweden
to spend the holidays. They count on
m aking the trip as a sort of yearly vaca-
tion, and are willing to work hard and
save money in every possible way in Or
der to ego home" once a year. Several
are now in this..cityssand will take passage
on the Labrador. They are from the
Northwest, and are sturdy looking men,
evidently good citizens, and prospecting
well in this country. They have no idea
of staying in Sweden, but want to see
old friends, and SO take the long railroad
and .mer journey for the sake of a
few days with them. The last steamer
carried over quite a number Of the Swedes
and as they calculate time pretty
closely, SO as not to havessto stay..here any
longer than they can help, it is safe to
say that a number more will b Q here be-
fore the Labrador sails. They are not
throwing away money, and so as a rule
go over in the storage.
The rain transformed Commercial
street into one big line of mud, and the

LOST AND FOUND.
Queer Story of a sty1ographic Pen.


: A Portland man lost his stylographic
pen recently. A week later he had oc-
casion to go down cellar, and bring up
bod of coal He threw this coal On the
open CRATE and was just goiLg away
when he observed something black stick
ing up out of the coal. Being near-sight-
ed. he didn't know what 1t was at first,
and was about to push it over with the
poker. when he recognized it as his lost
stylographical pen. He found that it
was not injured in the least 1t must
have dropped from his pocket into the
coal bin week before. 1t had been
there all that time, and then he had
shovelled it into the hod and thrown it
onto the fire, and it had miraculously
escaped injury.

Denver, December 2-The Denver

which was to be sold for IL, brought

thing went up. Some stocks gained five
or six cents over Wednesdays qutations.
The brokers between calls could not be-
gin to fill the orders because OF the
scarcity of stocks; moreover, many buy
ing orders held prices to limits far below
the quotation of the day. A Cripple
Greek broker said regretfully:
II wish had some stocks here which I

another broker to a CORES, ondent "He
formerly ran gambling house. He got
a tip on certain stock today, and has
bought a big block of it, Now it has
jumped s5 per cent in a half hour. Every

The brokers hung about the floor long
after the calls Saturday, trying to find
stocks to fill orders. The DAYS Develop

stocks has not been filed. while the out.
side orders grow heavier. A man stepped
into a brokers' Office Saturday and asked
for list of stocks which showed specu-

out the visitor said: stThat suits me. J,

worth of cheap Cripple Creek. Letters to
brokers now contain checks and drafts
for sums varying between 500 and SO
600. with no restrictions as to the kind or
value of stocks to be bought. A Colorado
Springs broker received cash order for
the purchase of $50. 600 worth Of stocks
