The name Of Charles Brady, who was
appointed one of the Maine league

Suit for $4,000 Damages Brought Against
the Mayor and Marshal.


the Mayor and Marshal.
At recent meeting of the Deering city
government Mayor Davis appointed thres
police officers but, it is claimed, did not
specify whose places they were to I'LL, but
two of the officers, 1t is said, VerT1ll and
Wooster were given to understand that
they were two of the number They
olaimed they could not be removed with
out the consent of the city council, which
wss not given.
Mr.. Verrill SAYS he received noteifrom
City Marshal Clark ordering MIN to re-
turn his badge, billy and handouts to
the police station. Verrill declined to do
this as he claimed he had not ceased to
be Nh officer.
Tuesday evening Mayor Davis and
Marshal Clark went to Verrilps and de-
manded his police equipments, and said
If no didn't give them up they shou d
take him to the station. Verrill says he
SAID he would go, but on the way he
was assaulted without provocation by
the marshal, and afterwards locked up
for two hours when he was released.
Mayor Davis said be took legal advice
when Mr.. Verrill refused to return the
equipments after he had asked him for
them. When Clark, the Mayor and Yer
rill were on the way to the station Yer
rill started to run and Clark grabbed
him. Then the Mayor rar up and told
him he was resisting an officer in the dis
charge of his duty. that if he would get
thu equipments and hand them over the
whole matter would be dropped. Verrl.l
still refused and was taken to the station.
Later the Mayor consulted Judge
Hopkins and Verrill was released.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Verrill brought
suit against the Mayor and Marshal
Clark laying his damages at 5000 and
engaged Senator Reynolds and Mr.. &. Il.
Thompson as counsel. MIR. Fred Matthews.

Shore and Michigan Southern Railway,
who refused to haul the cars of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Lake Michigan
Railway company in disobedience of an
order of the circuit court of the northern
district of Ohio, because the engineers of
the Ann Arbor road were on strike and
those of the other line were in sympathy
with them. Lennon was arrested and q
fine of $50 imposed. The case originated
in 1893 and attracted wide attention.
Justice Brown, in rendering the opin-
ion, said the only question raised in the
case is whether the circuit court ex-
ceeded its jurisdiction holding Lennon
for contempt, the supreme court not be-
ing at liberty to consider the testimony
or to inquire whether the facts justified
the action.
On the question of the injunction, the
court says it was proper, as it bore solely
upon the relations of the railway compa-
MES to each other.
1t was question of the court below
to determine whether Lemons action
in delaying the train five hours at a way
station was taken in pursuance of a de-
termination to abandon the services of
the company or for the purpose of dis
obeying the courts injunction. The find
ing of the trial court was against him
on that point, and the supreme court
held that there was no error in this

HANOTAUX WAS RIGHT.
The state Department VIII Vindi-
cate French Wines.


Washington, April 1.-THE remarka-
bly, frank statement of the French min
lister, M. HanotauX, as to the attitude
of the French government towards the
pending tariff bill, which was made the
subject of a special cable dispatch by the
Associated Press yesterday, has attract
ed great attention in official circles here.
Particular interest has been excited by
the criticisms upon the American consular
officers in France, and investigation
makes it appear that the subject recently
has been discussed at length by the diplo-
matte representatives of the two coun-
tries and that our government finally
conceded the correctness of the French
assumption that our consuls had eX-
ceeded their instructions in criticising the
French wines and decided to print in the
same publication which contained the
consular reports a yindication of the
wines. The complaint is no new one, so
far as the French government is con-
cerned; for the last twenty years our
consuls in France in their reports to the
state departments have had much to say
as to the extent of the adulteration of
French wines and brandes. The state
department made careful inquiry into
the matter and without going behind the
regulations it had established, was
obliged to confess judgment, for its stand
ing instructions to its consular officers
are to avoid accepting as the basis for
official reports anything less than official
else explanatory notes should
be attached. The matter is now, how
ever, as before stated, already adjusted,
and with the publication of the eXplana.

the United States consular reports the
incident will end
