THE YORK BEACH RAILROAD.
Another Legal set-to in Courts at Alfred
Yesterday. a.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.1

Alfred, June AT the opening of the
afternoon session of the Supreme Judicial
court the matter of the York Shore Water
company VS.. the Portsmouth, Kittery &
York Electric railway, was taken up.
George +. Haley of Biddeford appeared in
behalf of the water company and Hon.
Herbert M. Heath of Augusta for the
railroad. The water company was pro-
vided with expert testimony in the shape
of three skilled electricians, but did not
have to introduce any of them. Josiah
Chase, president of the water company,
and A. T. Gerald, president OF the
electric railway were present.
{ Mr.. Heath stated for the railway that
they had been given new location by the
selectmen, that instead of going over tie
mains of the York Shore company IL e
tracks would be laid in other parts of the
street thus avoiding them altogether.
This being the case the counsel for the
water company agreed to a continuance
with the understanding that when the
electric railway is completed and the
managers of the water company are salts
the railway, then the justice of the Su-
preme court shall allow the water com
pany, as the petitioner, leave to with
draw.
From a conversation that the represen-
tative had with Messrs. Gerald and
Heath, it appears that the managers of
the railway have all along been ready to
meet their opponents more than ha-f way
even offering where found desirable to re-
locate their pipes at the expense of the
railway.
Frank S. Marshall is here today, it is
understood to present new evidence in
connection with the petition for per
manent injunction, the matter that is to
be decided by the Law court at Portland
in July. 1t is further stated by Mr.. A.
F. Gerald, president of the Portsmouth,
Kittery & York electric road, that the
company has received a permit from the
proper authorities to lay their rails across
the government reservation at Kittery,
otherwise known as Fort McCleary, and
the work of construction at that point
was begun this morning.
Today trial of the suit of G. L. Hill
dreths of Boston against Mrs. G. S.
Googins of Old Orchard was begun. 1t
is an action for trespass. Mrs. Googins
owns the Irving House at Old Orchard,
adjoining which is boath house which
Mr. Hildreth purchased last spring. He
fenced in passageway that had for years
been open and Mrs. Googins went out
one day with an axe and reduced the
fence to kindling wood. She claims a
right Of passage by prescription, title and
necessity.

Nashua, N. H., June 4.-The severest
storm that has ragged in this city for
many years began at O'Clock this after
noon and in half an hour one and three
eighths inches of rain fell. The sewers
could not carry off the water in such
quantities and all were practically stopped
up.
Hundreds of houses were flooded and
damage to private residences will amount
to many thousands of dollars. At Ester
brook, and Anderson's S shoe shop employ
ing nine hundred hands the engine room
was flooded and the shop had to shut
down. At Cross and Tolle's lumber shop,
the engine room and cellars were so badly
flooded that the fire department worked
the entire afternoon pumping out the
water. The stock of Chamberlain, Patten
& Co., large dry goods dealers, was dam
aged to the extend of more than $1,000. At
the Whitney cafe the water was eight
inches deep on the floor, and the Lund
cafe was severely wet down.
lightning struck a barn owned by Mrs.
W. S. Collins on Temple street and ran
to the house on the telephone wire, doing
considerable damage. A barn on Locke
street, owned by H. B. Atherton, was al
SO struck, and maple tree was shattered
only few feet in front of James McFad-
den, who was sitting at window in his
house, every pane in the window being
shattered. Sidewalks in many places were
caved in. In many cases where bathrooms
are located on the second flood, the back
water from the sewer had flooded the
house. 1t is estimated that more than five
hundred hens were drowned during the
storm

DEATH OF HENRY GEORGE.

Henry George father of the
s1ngle-taxers and author of "Pro-
gress and Poverty died very sud-
denly just before the election in
Greater New York. George was
a candidate for Mayor and by his
eloquence and e~arnestness gath
cred around him many followers.
It is a question that will forever
remain unsettled, whether Van
Wyck would have been elected
had George lived. Certain it is
that Henry George was regarded
as a formidable opponent and to
ward the close of the campaign it
looked as if his chances OF being
elected were about as good as the
chances of any other.
His sudden death shocked the
whole world; for Henry George
was not only ranked among the
foremost thinkers of this country;
but his whole life has been one of
devotion to his fellowman, and he
has done more than any man has
ever done to awaken the public
mind to a study of the capital and
labor problem.
His single.tax remedy may never
gain ascendency; but Henry George
has done this much, he has put
intellectual forces in motion that
will some day discover, if such a
thing is possible, a solution to the
problem, and a remedy for the ills
he complains OF in his book "PrO,
