SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
March Term. Hon. A. P. Wiswell, Pre-
siding.

Sheriff, E. E. Norton,
Clerk, W. S. Choate,
c. o. Barrows, Stenographer.
Augusta, March 10.
Jewett vs. Inhabitants of Monmouth
This case was concluded at noon with 8
verdict for the defendants.
Ellen f. Marston, Executrix, VS.. Ken
nebec Mutual Life Insurance Co. Drum
mond & Drummond for plaintiff, and
Heath & Andrews for defendants. The
plaintiff is executrix of her husbands
estate, DIR. Daniel +. Marston, late OF
Monmouth, who died April IA, 1894, and
she brings this action on an insurance
policy for $4,000 issued to her husband
Aug. 13, 1892. The real defendant in the
case is the Maine Mutual Insurance CO.,
the Kcnnebcc Mutual having been recent
ly merged in it.
The defendants say that in his contract
with them DIR. Marston agreed in writing
that il he made an untrue statement in
his application for insurance, the policy
should be void. They say that in his
application he was asked whether any
society or order had declined to grant him
Il policy of membership. and also if he
had ever been examined for life insurance
or membership by any physician with an
unfavorablc result, and to both questions
he answered in the negative; whereas
he had been rejected by the Ancient Order
of the United Workman, and had been
examined by physician and passed, but
rejected by the grand medical examiner
of the order at Boston.
They also say that in answer to the
questions of whether he evor had any at
tacks of unconsciousness, or had any dis
eases of the heart he answered in the
negative, which answers were untrue
Also that he answered that the cause of
his fathers death was not actually known
complained of stomach for two years or
more; when he had said in an application
to another company in 1887 that the cause
of his fathers death was heart disease.
When giving his family history, he said
in his application that he had one brother
who died in Illinois, after a short sick
ness, having great pain in stomach, when
in fact he had stated in his application to
the Ancient Order that the cause of this
brothers death was angina pectoris.
The plaintiff replying, says that the
deceased told the agent of defendants OF
his rejection by the Ancient Order, and
that the agent said it was not such a
rejection as would bar him from in
surancc, and then and there waived any
objection on this score. The testimony
was completed at the time Of the adjourn

Last night Albert Bartin and Eugene
Scott, white, and Joseph Morgan, col
cred, the crew of a vessel lying at one
Of the wharyes, came uptown in quest
of adventures. In the pocket of one
was a quart bottle of whisky. They
started for the Whitechapel district in
the northeast, but became confused in
their bearings, and brought up on north
Fairfax street, a short distance from
the station house, where they became
offensive to some ladies who were in
the neighborhood, taking hold of the
arm of one of them. The lady's indig-
nant talk caused the trio to become
alarmed and they scattered, but q few
minutes later Officers Atkinson and
Howson had them in charge. This
morning in the Police Court they were
fined 81 each.

A GROWING CITY.-Alexandria, the
city of Virginia that IS in such close
proximity to the nations capital, is
thriving, and from all accounts it is
going right ahead. New enterprises
are springing up, and the population is
increasing steadily. 1t is q healthy in
crease, too, and shows. that Alexandria
means to keep up with the procession.
In addition to the general and long es-
tablished business ofthe city there were
started within a comparatively short
period two new factories-a glass fac
tory and shoe factory-and they were
operated during the long dull season
from which the country recently recoy-
cred. Alexandria has q population OF
at least 10000, and the city is more
prosperous than at any time within the
past ten years. Her good people are
her chief attraction. Anybody who
says that Alexandria is not right in the
midst of the better times is badly mis-
