Rescript by Whitehouse, j.
The admission of the testimony of the
plaintiff's father respecting the quality of
the work done, to which exceptions were
taken, cannot..be deemed error under the
circumstances disclosed by the report OF
the case. The weight of the evidence was
for the jury. Exceptions overruled.
AROOSTOOK COUNTY.
Daniel p. Harris v. James Barker.
Rescript by Whitehouse, J.
The plaintiffs writ was originally dated
sApril Is and made returnable on the first
Tuesday of May 1892. 1t was duly served
on the defendant ON the day of its date
But the writ was not returned to court on
the first Tuesday of May; but without the
consent of the defendant and without
leave of court, it was materially altered
so as to bear date April go, and be re-
turnable on the first Tuesday of Novem-
ber 1t was also converted from writ OF
attachment into capias writ, and thus
changed, was again served on the defend
ant by an arrest of the body, and entered
in court
The defendant seasonably filed plea in
abatement to the writ, duly setting forth
the facts above stated to which the
plaintiff filed u demurrer.
It Is settled law in this State that such
a change in mesno process after service
without leave of court is irregular and
unauthorized. The plea in abatement
must be sustained
Exceptions overruled; writ abated.

Rescript by Whitchouse, j.
In an action on poor debtors bond the
defendants plea of performance is sus-
tanned il it is shown that one OF the alter
native conditions of the bond has been
fulfilled
Within six months from the execution
of the bond the debtor surrendered NM
self into Jail, delivered to the jailer copies
of the execution and bond, and remained
i'm his custody for more than four weeks
He was then released by reason OF the
failure of the creditor to advance money
or furnish security for the support OF the
debtor in Jail.
The plaintiff claims that the debtor $
release was irregular and unauthorized
because his complaint in writing that ne
was unable to support himself IN jail was
fatally defective in emitting TO state the
name of the creditor and the amount OF
the Judgment.
But this inquiry is immaterial to the
decision of the question here presented
Il cannot affect the rights of the sureties
on this bond. The penalty of the bond
was saved by the debtor voluntary sur
render to the jailer and his actual confine-
ment in jail
Judgment for the defendants.
In the matter Of the decision af the
railroad commissioners, on petition Of

the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company
respecting the grade crossing of high
way.
Rescript by Whitehouse, J.
TO place all railroad crossings within
the limits of the State under the control
of the railroad commissioners, has mani
testify been the paramount object of the
legislation on this subject since the enact
ment of 1873. The several provisions in
regard to the right of application and the
apportonment of the expense enacted in
different years, are of a subordinate
character and secondary Importance
They are not all conditions precedent
to the jurisdiction of the railroad com
missioners in unincorporated places.
The fact that all the provisions of the
statute respecting the right of application
and the adjustment of the expense in the
case of cities aud towns, are not also APP
plicable to unincorporated places, cannot
take away the jurisdiction of the railroad
commissioners over the latter while there
is an express provision applicable to all
crossings, authorizing an application by
the railroad company, and also placing
upon the company the burden of the ex-
pense In the case OF cities and towns
either the municipal officers or the rail
road company may invoke the jurisdic-
ton of the railroad commissioners, and
thereupon the expense of building the
way within the limits of the railroad may
all be imposed on the railroad com
pany, or be apportioned between
the railroad company and the town,
as the commissioners may determine.
But with respect to ways in unincorpor-
ated places where there are no municipal
officers, the application can only be made
by the parties owning or operating the
railroad; and inasmuch as there Is no
provision for the payment or apportlon-
mcnt of the expense applicable to such a
ease. except that which places this burden
on the railroad company, the expense
must be borne by the railroad company
In this case the application appears to
have been duly made by the railway com
many, and the commissioners should have
taken jurisdiction of the subject matter
and heard and determined the questions
presented.

THE ENGINEERS SATISFIED.
They Say They Are SIN working
Under the Old Contract.

They say They Are StiIl Working
Under the Old Contract.
In all probability the Plant system en-
gineers win take no action for the pres
ent with regard to their contract with the
system. General Superintendent Durham
has refused to make new contract with
them, or to continue the old ones as a
contract, but so far as is known they are
working along under the same rules and
regulations as they were under their old
contract.
One Of the engineers was asked about the
refusal Of Superintendent Durham to con-
tinue the old contract, and what they were
going TO do about il. He said that their
contract was still of force and would be
until new one was made They were
working, he said, under the same resula-
uons, were receiving the same pay. and
as long as things continued as they al
ways have done, they had no cause to
complain. He said when Superintandent
Durham told the engineers that he wish
ed 10 discontinue the contract or 10 mt
additional duties upon them, then wouId
be the time for their committee to meet
him. At present, however, ne said the
committee had no reason to call tpon
him.

Music and Song on Board the German
Steamship Australia.
The captain and officers of the German
steamship Australia, were complimented
night before last with a serenade by the
Savannah Quartette Club Teutonia, I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Fritz Keller. The
lovely moonlight night added greatly to
make the affair pleasant and enjoyable
one. Many patriotic songs, also solos, were
sung and highly appreciated by the Off
GERS Of the ship, who on their part left
nothing undone to have the threats prop
erly moistened with some of the very best
of wines The Australia has never been
at Savannah before, and the visitors were
much battered when the captain and Of
icers stated that in all their many travels
to nearly all parts Of the world, they had
never been so well received and enter
tanned as by the citizens of Savannah.
They said they hoped that it was not the
last time they were coming to this port.

The Industrial Committee Wants
Them In the Savannah Exhibit.
At a special meeting o the Georgia His
torical Society last night an application
was received from the Savannah Indus
trial committee asking for the loan of the
relies and other things in connection
herewith. that were in the possession Of
the society. for the Savannah exhibit at
the Atlanta exposition
The matter was thoroughly discussed by
those present and its a dvantages advo-
Gated. The question Of a suitable protec-
tion 10 the relics IN the shape Of a custo-
dian was also brought up.
Finally. on motion of Mir. Pope Barrow,
the entire matter was left to the board Of
managers, with power to act. This ap-
plies 10 the applications made by the Col
onial Danes and the Daughters of the
Revolution. as well as the application Of
the industrial committee
II was the sense of the meeting that a
custodian be appointed to take care Of
the articles, no matter who had them, as
a bond did not seem sufficient to guard
the relics as well as might be the case
with a reliable custodian.
The board Of managers will meet this
afternoon at $50 o'clock 10 settle the
question.

Breast by His 17-Year-OId Son.
Henry Williams, a colored fireman on
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-

Elliott Williams. his 17-year-old son.
Williams undertook to chastise his son for
some supposed misbehavior. but the youth
resisted, and in the struggle which fol-
lowed the father was cut in the breast
with a knife. The son escaped.
The affair was reported to the police
barracks and the ambulance was sent
out to take Williams to the hospital. but
he was in his own house, and he did not
care to be moved. Williams lives on Boil
ton street near the street railway cross
ing. The night superintendent of the Sa-
Vannahs~ Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
railroad telephoned to the offices of sew
eral physicians, but up to midnight had
not succeeded in getting one. The cutting
occurred about 10 o'clock. Everybody
who saw the wounded man was of the
opinion that his wound was a dangerous
one. The wound is in the center of the
breast. and is supposed to have penetrated
the left lung
