Fuller Mitchell, peddler 80 years
cid, was arrested yesterday by Officer
B. Ryan on a warrant issued at the In
stance Of M. T. O'Brten, Of Minneapo-
lis, charging embeZZlement. Tha COM
plant alleges that he furnished Mitch
ell, who had worked for him on pre-
vious occasions, with horse and wag-
on and four barrels Of Greening apples,
valued at $3.50 barrel, with the I'M
derstanding that Mitchell was to sell
the fruit and account to him with the

Mitchell fulfilled his aneement with re-
gard to disposing of the apples, but
that he converted the proceeds to his
own use. Mitchell denies the allega-
lions Of Mr.. O'Brien, and claims that
the apples were stolen from him by a

rest q warrant was subsequently is

kenrs Hill is Getting Fussy.

There is considerable in the air about
the football eleven of Kent's Hill not
being able to get on game with the
Z. Z. l. team, and the seminary BOYS
appear to feel that they are not being
used right in the matter. Kent's Hill
mas no reason to expect the c. c. I.

on the gridiren to games with the sem
mary team alone. There are other
teams in the State that our BOYS want
to line up against, and the time is
limited. c. c. /. defeated Kent's Hill
fairly at the opening of the season and
at once began to look about for other
teams to conquer. Perhaps it is to be
regretted, as far as Kents Hill is con-
cerned at least, that they went up
against our boys when the foreign
team was not in good condition, but for
this our boys are not to be blamed, it
was the first of the season to them as
We'll 1t costs good sum to play
kents Hill, and there is no money in a
game with them, but there are other
teams in the State that will draw well
and against which our boys have not
lined up. If, after C. c. I. has met
Portland and Thornton or any other
team that wants to try conclusions
with them. there appears an oppor
tunity for our boys to again give Kent's
Hill chance, they will have all the
satisfaction they want, but it being a

Electric Road Must Stand Expense.

The following rescript has been re-
ceived in the case of the appeal of the
Waterviile & Fairfield Railway d
Light Co. from the decision of the rail
road commissioners in relation To the
construction and maintenance of cross
ing frogs at a point in Fairfield, where
one track crosses the other. The
courts decided that the whole expense
should Ice born by the Electric Co:
The track Of the Waterville and Fair
field Railway and Light Company
crosses the track of the Maine Central
Railroad, and the railroad commits
sioners have decided that the Water
vile and Fairfield Company shall bear
the whole expense of constructing and
maintaining the crossing. on appeal,
the court below accepted the report OF
the commissioners and ordered It to
be recorded, and the case is before the
law court on exceptions.
In support of the exceptions ii is
urged that it vas unreasona bic and
unjust to place the whole burden of
constructing and maintaining the
crossing upon the Waterville and
Fairfield Company. and that the act
u 1000, tBdittl q, ufluti " iiifH ti!S
commissioners acted. not only author
iZe but contemplates that the expense
shall be appointed between the two
companies.
The. act of 1895 c. -. undoubtedly
authorizes the railroad commissioners
to apportion the expense. but il does
not require them to do So. II leaves
the question to their sound Judgment
and discretion. And. on appeal. the
only rule prescribed for the presiding
justice is that he shall make such or
der or decree as law and justice shall
require. Thestatute declares that 'ex-
oepton may he taken to such order or
decree but il prescribes no rules by
Which the law court shall he governed
in passing upon the exceptions.
1T seems to us that the evident in
tention of the Legislature was to leave
the whole question of how railroad
crossings should be constructed and
maintained, and how the expense Of
such crossings should be borne. III
the first instance to the sound judg
mcnt and discretion of the railroad
commissioners. and we think that
their decisions should not he altered
OF reversed unless manifestly illegal
or unjust
Taking this Interpretation of the
statutes for our guide, the question is
whether the decision of the railroad
commissioners is manifestly illegal or
unjust. We do not think it is. At the
time when the crossing became neces-
sary. the track of the Maine Central
Railroad had been completed and the
crossing was needed for the accommo-
dation of the Waterville and Fairfield
road alone, and it does not seem to us
that it was either illegal or unjust to
require the latter road to bear the ex-
pense of its construction and main
tainance
1t seems to us that whenever an
alteration is made in an existing rail-
road track for the sole convenience
and accommodation of another rail-
road, the expense should be borne by
the latter.
Possibly exceptions may exist to
such a rule; but we fail to discover
any reason for holding that the pres
ent case furnishes such an exception.
Exceptions overruled"
