NEW TRIAL ORDERED.
Justice Frear Dissents from His
Learned brothers.

Justice Frear Dissents from His
Learned brothers.
Chief Justice Judd has render
ed an opinion in Edna G. Trous-
seau VS.. Bruce Cartwright and
Hugh Mcintyre, executors of the
will of Geo. p. Trousseau, deceas-
ed. For reasons given the Chief
Justice orders new trial. E. P.
Dole, barrister, who sat in place of
Justice Whiting, disqualified ,rend-
ers concurring opinion, whileJus-
tice Frear files dissenting one.
The controlling opinion sets
forth the following principles Ct
law:
"The condition in contract to
pay money when my circum-
stances allow and as soon as they
allow is fulfilled by evidence that
the promissor was in receipt Of
money over and above his reason
able expenses with which he could
pay.
"The fact that the executors of
such promissor had not assets to
pay in full the sum contracted for
by their decedent, does not show
that the condition of ability to
pay in the testator's lifetime was
not fulfilled.
"a contract contemplated money
to be paid in installments, condi-
toned upon ability to pay. Evil
dence of ability to pay part of
the sum contracted to be paid is a
fulflment of the condition"
Judge Magoon gave the judg-
ment from which the appeal was
taken, disallowing the principal
sum sued for, but ordering the
annual payments stipulated to be
in lieu of interest.
Justice Frear, in his noncon-
curing opinion, says: "The
logical conclusion under these
circumstances would be, not to
make another error by allowing
the principal sum, but to correct
the first error by disallowing the
interest. This cannot, however,
be done on this bill of exceptions,
as the plaintiff did not except to
the allowance of interest.

ism.'' A part of an article by M. A.
Dixon was first read. The author was
the editor of Light, a Spiritualistic pub
location, and therefore the Splritualistl
themselves must accord some authority
to what he says concerning ths dogma
tism and the infinite subdivision of scots
among their rank.
Descriptions of the astral light and
astral bodies. written by the late Will
liam @. Judge, were read as an introduc-
ton to the explanations of the phenome-
ma of the seance room, which will be
given next Sunday. Theosophy freely
admits that the phenomena are genuine,
but gives explanations very different
from those of the Spiritualists. AS these
same explanations have been given by
some of the ''spirits" of the seance room,
they are worthy of Investigation even
by those who have no idea of accepting
them.
Those who would like to attend these
meetings may obtain cards from the

EXTENSION OF CAPE ROAD.
Hearing on Proposed Location Held Yes
terday in South Portland.

| Yesterday afternoon In the town house
of South Portland occurred the hearing
before the board of seleotmen of that
town OH the petition for extension of the
Portland and Cape Ellzat eth electric
road. There were only few citizens
present and no opposition was mani
tested to the granting of the proposed
| location. Hon. Clarence Fl ale and Su-
perintendent Harry Mcleod appeared in
behalf Of the electric road The electric
| road asks for permission to build a
single track line from the present line
on the shore road up Angel street to the
Cottage road, and then out to the juno
tlon of Cottage road with the shore road
or to the town Aine Considerable dis
lance would have been saved by build
Ing directly out the Shore road, but
as some Of the citizens thought this
street was too narrow for track to
be laid in, the electric road changed it's
original plan and will build out Angel
street and then over the Cottage road a
distance of about 21O0 feet, If the select
men grant the desired permission. BY
going this way the company will also
avoid many steep hills and will accom-
modate many more people. All of the
AUDITORS along the proposed extension
are heartily in favor of the road. Super
intendent Mcleod said that work would
begin on the new line just as soon az the
permission is granted and as much of the
line on the Shore road will be built this
fall as possible.
1t is very likely that the entire line
over the Shore road will be ready for
operation by the time travel begins next
summer. The proposed track up Angel
street will be built on the northwest side
of the street and on the southerly side
of the Cottage road. A turnout 600 feet
in length has also been petitioned for.
and if granted will be located at the
southerly end of Angel street. There
is little doubt about the selectmen grant
ing the proposed location at once as no
opposition to the location has been ex-
pressed,

to Buffalo and plead guilty to the charge
of murder. She will be released in a few
