The Double Liability Cases.

The double liability cases We're argued in
the law court in Portland, July Goth. These
are cases in which Judgment has been OBJ
tanned by creditors of defunct Kansas cor
porations by a provision of Kansas law
which provides dues from corporations
shall be secured by individual liability OF
the stockholders to an additional amount
equal to the stock owned by each stock
holder"
The cases are four in number, three in
which the Citizens Savings Bank is plain
iff and Joshua w. Beede, j. Linn Small
and Charles Briggs, all of Auburn, are de-
PENDANTS.
The fourth is the United States National
Bank of Atchison, Kan., against Ii: w. B.
Connor, wife of ex-Gov. Selden Connor
The cases have been before the law court
for nearly four years and the court for a
long time stood equally divided.
Mrs. Connor owned $500 in stock in the
United States Building Co. The decision
will be very far reaching, as the Maine in
vestors in corporations of this sort were
numerous

FISH AND GAME. Game Warden Chas.
c. Nichols of FoXcroft has returned from
trip into the woods and reports but one
case of killing, so far as he knows. This
in spite Of stories circulated recently that
an immense amount of deer and moose
had been slaughtered. While everything
is as it should be in Penobscot waters,
Wardens Hutton and Davis reported a
similar condition OF affairs from the Allie
cash region. They found no evidence Of
poaching, nor did they hear the report of
4 rifle while in the woods. This state of
affairs is very satisfactory to the commits
sioners...... The guides at and near the
Dead River region are predicting an un-
usually good hunting season this fall
basing their conclusions upon the amount
of game seen in the woods. Partridges
are larger and stronger than at this time
last year, and are very numerous. All
kinds of small game abound, and scarcely
a day passes but what groups Of deer are
reported. Occasionally bull and COW
moose with their young in tow are seen.
lin the municipal court at Dover, July
9th, the boys arrested at Black pond
Cancomgomoc stream, charged with kill
ing moose, We're arraigned The boys
are Walter G. Merritt of Danbury, Ct :,
son of q. H. Merritt, the wealthy hat
manufacturer, and Stanton w. F. Forse-
man of Williamsport, Pa. They pleaded
not guilty, and were held in $500 bonds
to the third Tuesday in August. .... The
fishing schooner Grace Jordan arrived at
Rockland July 2Sth with 26. 900 mackerel,
which were caught off Matinicus. The
fish ranged from 12 pounds to medium
size. This is the largest lot that has been
caught in that vicinity this season.

WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGs. Aspecial
to the New York Herald from Washington
says: That Japan will continue to oppose
the Hawaiian annexation treaty is con-
clusively shown by the latest protest of
the japanese Government, under date of
July 10, which is now made public for
the first time. While couched in polite
and diplomatic language, the protest is
sufficiently firm in tone to show that
Japan will continue to wage diplomatic
war, and possibly go further, to prevent
the consummation of the annexation
policy. The secretary of war is consid
ering proposition that has been made to
him to establish military post in Alaska.

Rains Cause Heavy Loss.

Prominent farmers of Somerset, Franklin,
Kennebec, Penobscot and Aroostook coun-
ties allege the rains of this season have
damaged crops to an extent to be computed
in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The hay crop alone is nearly fifty per cent.
loss and roughly estimated at S50OoOO.
In the eastern part of Maine the potato,
corn, barley and apple crops get it the
worst. Many farmers having the so-called
"lowlands'' rich with muck, are not under
cultivation for the reason that these sections
are flooded or so wet it is impossible for
man or beast to get onto them.
Building operations are affected to great
loss and in many instances suspended for
the season. The brick k!lns are being oper-
ated at nearly twice the usual expense and
the lime and granite quarries worked under
extreme difficulty

FIVE MASKED MEN FOOLED.
Missouri Pacific Passenger Train
Held Up.

Kansas City, Nov. l3.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train, known as the st.
Louis fast mail, which leaves Kansas City
at 8 o'clock p. m, was held up by five
masked men at $3.50 o'clock last night at
the Chicago & Alton crossing, just east
of independence, and less than a mile
from the famous Blue Cut, in which three
train rObberies have occurred within the
past year.
Two of the robbers were disguised as
women, and when the engineer saw them
swinging a lantern across the track, an
apparent signal of danger, he did not
hesitate to stop. The engines crew were
Immediately covered with revolvers Con
ductor Dennis O'Brien and Brakeman
Michael stepped out to see what was the
matter, and were greeted by a volley of
bullets, which caused the greatest con
fusion in the passenger coaches.
The conductor and brakemen We're
compelled to cut the express and baggage
cars from the rest of the train, and the
engineer and fireman were made to get
dow.l from their cab. The robbers quick
lv Jumped aboard and took the engine
and express car about two miles further
east, where they stopped and compelled
Express Messenger Williams to open his
car. He offered no resistance, as he car
ried no treasure.
The robbers had evidently intended to
stop the st. Louis limited night express,
which leaves Kansas City at a late hour,
and were greatly surprised upon discov-
ering that the cars which they had cap
tured contained nothing of value. In
their rage they bounced upon the express
messenger and went through his pockets,
but S.. IS was all they secured. After this
they quickly left the train and disappear
