SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
Law Term-Western District.

The forenoon was taken up in the argu-
ment of the case of Hiram Kicker &
Sons. against the Portland & Rumford
Falls Railway. The case has been pretty
fully reported in the newspapers when
the demurrer was argued in May last.
Briefly stated the Rickers claim that
the defendant company have no right and
should be enjoined from calling the sta
ton on their railroad above Danville
junction "Poland Springs" They made
this claim upon two grounds: First, be-
cause the use of the name upon thei
time tables, tickets and advertisements,
tend to deceive the public, is AN unfair
competition with the plaintiffs stage
line from Danville junction, and because
it is injurious to the plaintiffs hotel
property. Second, they claim that the
plaintiffs trade mark is imperrilled by
the use of the words Poland Springs to
designate any hotel locality than the one
now so-called and owned by the Rockers.
The case ia before the court on exoep-
lions to Judge Walton's ruling sustain
ing the demurrer and Diminishing the
bill.
Hon. Samuel J. Elder of Boston argued
the case for the complainants and Hon.
Seth M. Carter of Auburn for the defen-
dant.
John Hanseom against Home Insur-
ance Company, and John Hansoom
against North British and Mercantile
Insurance Company, are two cases tried
together to recover the value of house
insured by the defendant companies and
lost by fire.
The defendants claim that there were
three breaches of the conditions of the
policies; that the provisions as to nom
occupancy was violated; that there was
fraudulent claims and false swearing in
the proofs of loss; that the property was
encumbered by ohattel mortgage which
was not disclosed to the defendants.
The amount of insurance was $500 In
the two companies. The case Is before
the court on report.
j. NJ. Libby and A. R. Savage for
plaintiff.
Soldiers & Chase for defendants.
d. j. Callahan against John T. MoCar-
thy is suit by member of the andre
sccggin Bar to recover for professional
services and disbursements in the pur-
chase of certain real estate known as the
Thomas Ward property" The defep-
dant claims that he never employed the
plaintiff in the matter at all that what
ever the plaintiff did in the nature of
services or discussing money was for 9TH
er parties. The jury returned verdiot
for Callahan for 176. rs and the defen-
dant claims it should be set aside for
want of evidence to support 1t.

In that street of sights, West Twenty.
third street, trifling incident attracted
unusual attention today. 1t was that of
glossy black horse attached to the light
wagon of dry goods house.
The animal was left for moment near
the curb while the driver ran into build
ing. Something seemed the matter with
the brute. 1t pulled and nodded its head
but its feet did not move. Shoppers and
sightseers stopped to look at the animal,
and the sidewalk soon became congested.
"It's fine horse, too, ut must have the
shakes" Something's the matter with its
head" were the sympathetic remarks made,
but no one did anything.
Presently well dressed woman of fine
physique and evident high breeding came
forward in the crowd. Instinctively pas.
sage seemed to open for her.
Lifting daintily gloved hand the gentle
woman unfastened the checkrein that held
the animals head. The horse tossed its
name with shake of relief and dropped
its head near it's feet. There on the clean
curb lay the fresh skin Of banana. Seiz
ing it in its teeth the horse raised its head
and devoured it eagerly.
Its shame to torture fine horse Xix,
that" remarked the gentle liberator as sh,
patted the sleek, glossy neck.

BETRAYED BY HIS HAND.


Lightning's Victim Recognized by the Man
Who Had Been Robbed.
Charles E. Thorpe from Oregon. formerly
business man of Philadelphia, called at
The Progress office. Said he: II happened
to take seat in the car just behind plain
ly dressed but good looking colored man.
There was nothing unusual about that cir
cumstance, however, and would probably
never have noticed whether / sat behind q
colored or white man but for little event
Of no greater consequence than the colored
mans placing his hand upon the back Of
the seat In which he sat.
1.-THE train had nearly reached Tucson
when the colored man happened to throw
his right arm over the back of the scat,
with his hand in plain view, and was al
most thunderstruck ut what saw. could
scarcely believe my eyes and eagerly leaned
forward to get n Closer llok at the hand
and be sure that was not the victim of an
optical illusion. ! satisfied myself tina.
there was no mistake The third and fourth
fingers of the colorul mans hand were as
white as l.dy's, and white streak over
an inch wide ran along the back of his
hand AID up his arm, rs far as could see.
II WIS sure had seen that hand before.

ago. Though paid hin wei for his s.rv-

he has family and home and n small tract

he was standing in barn during a severe
thunderstorm, with his right hand up!lfted
and resting against the side of the building,
when lightning struck the barn on the side
where he was and passed down his arm and
body and through the floor. 1t burned his
clothing wherever 1t touched his body and
tore the shoe from his right foot and threw
1t nearly across the barn.
"Of course the shock knocked him down
and rendered him insensible for moment,
though he suffered no lasting injury. But
II there ever was a scared darby he was
the one He was too frightened to pray,
and he looks half scared even now. He

a PAMPHLET on the liquor traffic
in Hawaii put forth under the
auspices of uncomprising temper
ance societies, strangely enough
does not advocate prohibition. 1t
is for a system to reduce the evils to
a minimum. A plan outlined is to
have couple of companies handle
the business in Honolulu. This is
the scheme in a nutshell; Limit
the capital of the company or COM
panies to a certain sum. A paid
up capital of $3.50, 600 would easily
handle the whole liquor traffic of
Hawaii. Allow reasonable amount
for expenses of management and
say 7 per cent. on actual capital
used, the balance of profits to be
paid into the Hawaiian treasury.
This is the local plan adopted and
working very successfully for many
years in Norway. This method
prevents the liquor dealer from
pushing the traffic in intoxicants, as
he can only get small per cent.
ON his actual capital however large
the quantity of liquor sold"

some OF the strong Oar.men have an
Adventure.
Three Of the crew of Captain
Lorenzen's pilot boat had lively
yesterday. The crew
pulled out to the ship Indiana and
Pilot Lorenzen and two of the crew
boarded her, leaving two others in
the boat. The Indiaca tackled to
windward in order to be able to
make farther inshore on the return.
The ship was going at high speed
the wash nearly capsizing the pilot
boat The men on the ship decided
to shift the boat astern and in do
ing so, the line got foul of the rud-
der. The impetus to the boat was
so great that the men in it let go
the line. One of the men on the
ship jumped overheard to help his
comrades, but they had drifted SC
far astern that he had to swim two
hundred yards before being picked
up. The pilot boat drifted past the
entrance to the harbor and was
away to leeward before the three
men got out the oars and pulled
towards port. The tug had in the
meantime made fast to the Indian;
and towed her into port.

"This makes my thirtieth visit

J. J. Williams, the photograph re-

liams expects the crater to make a
greater showing within short time
than has ever yet been recorded. At
several points 200 and 900 yards
from the brink of Halemaumau
there is live fire very close to the
surface. Eighteen inches into ifs
sures sticks were driven to contact
with active lava. At other places
the lava is as much as three fee,
beneath the surface. All this it i.
firmly believed by Mr.. Williams
and many others, indicates tina

There is no reason why one who can take
bromide of sodium shall be seasick. 1t Is the
only known preventive and it is not uni
versal remedy, for every one cannot take
1t. The prescription is 20 grains in water
three times day for five or six days before
sailing. But you must ask your own
physician first whether you can take bro
mide, and the dose must be adapted to the
susceptibilities of the individual. For one
who can be bromided the sea has no ter.
rors. The nervous system has received that
additional power Of resistance necessary to
overcome unwonted shocks and the new
and incessant motion. The bromide In Its
best effect simply composes the nervous
system. One is unconscious of having TAX
en- anything. The slight drowsiness at
first may be the soothing Of the sea itself.
But mark that the bromide must be taken
o week In advance 1t is useless to take
Il after sailing. -Chicago Herald.
