IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.
Decision by Judge strout in the Belfast
Contested Election Case.

Judge Strout of the Supreme Court
has given the opinion of the Court in the
Belfast contested election case of Charles
H. Waterman VS. Edgar NJ. Cunningham,
which the following'is the rescript:
Bill in equity to determine whether
plaintiff Cor respondent was elected q
common councilman of Belfast
The printed ballot contained the name
of Edgar M. Cunningham ana under it
the name of William W. Gates. A blank
space, as required by law was left under
the last name. Certain ballots were cast
with sticker. so called, on which was
printed the name of the plaintiff. This
sticker was placed over the name of the
defendant The question is whether. such
ballot was legal and entitled to be count
ed for the plaintiff. The Statute law of
1891. Chap. 1902, S. W. provides that a
blank space shall be left after the name
of the candidates for each different office
In which the voter may insert the name
of any person not printed on the ballot
for whom he desires to vote. It is the
opinion of the Court that the statute re-
quires the name of the person desired to
be voted for, and not printed in the bal
lot, to be inserted in the blank spaoe left
for that purpose. and that stioker
placed over one of the printed names is
not compliance with the statute. Re-
jecting such votes tho defendant was
duly elected and he should receive GER
tificate of election.

room to the enjoyment of steamed CLAIMS,
Holsters, and the other delights of shore

The vitascope.

The audiences at Portland Theatre are
steadily increasing in size both afternoon
and evening; and well they might, as no
suoh marvellous demonstration of the
possibilities of Edison's genius for inven-
ton was ever given before. Not only
does the vitascope reproduce scenes with
the faithfulness Of photography, but
every animated thing in the original is
as full of life in the picture as in reality.
This is true to the mInutest detail.

Arrested on an Unusual Charge.

BARLEY Feeney was arrested yesterday
for attempting to obstruct public justice,
the specific accusation being that he had
tried to intimidate witness. It seems
that his son, John j. FeeDey, smashed
the windows in John Harrlgan's rum
shop, and the elder teeney threatened
that If Harrigan testified against John
he would make it warm for HIM, or
words to that effect. This act came out
in the trial of young Feeney in the
Municipal court for malicious mischief,
and Judge Robinson laid the case before
County Attorney True with the result
that Feeney was arrested on a common
law complaint, charging him with
obstructing public justice.
