ABOUT ADJOURNMENT.

4 strong Opposition to fixing the time
unalterably was developed. 1t was
claimed by Shanahan, Dibble, Can't
netti and others that to fix date only
eight days distant might place the
Legislature in very embarrassing posi-
tion with regard to the general appro-
priation bin That measure has just
gone to the Senate after adoption by the
House. Members claimed that Senators
had said il would take a week in COM
mittee. after which the whole would be
considered by the Senate, with possible
changes TO be made, then it must go to
the printer and afterward back TO the

A Good Record for 1897.

The electric road is about closing up
the improvements it has been at work
on during the past season. The track
has never been in such good condition
as at present. A large number of new
sleepers have been put in and large
quantities Of gravel has been hauled
from the new Seavey gravel pit in
Farmingdale to ballast different parts
of the road. One of the worst curves
on the road near the head of the
causeway in Gardiner, has been
Strengthened by the purchase from the
owner eff adjoining land enough so TO
place the track at this point entirely
outside the limits of the street. An
other bad curve near the Hallowell
line is to be Strengthened at Cnce by
making Q fill and removing the track
four or five feet from it's present loca-
ton thus greatly widening the street
at the narrowest place between this
city and Hallowel as we'll as greatly
improving the track of the street rail-
way. New and much larger poles have
been set to replace the old and small
ones from the Gardiner end up a mile
and half into Farmingdale and an
other season will see the entire over
head and pole line rebuilt with not only
larger and more durable poles but the
latest kind of electrical apparatus.
That these improvements are appre-
ciated by the public is shown by Che
increase of business in the past few
months. For the three months end
ing October LIST, the receipts have not
only been larger but the expenses have
been less SO that the net result is
twelve hundred dollars better than the
corresponding three months of last
year. With the changes and improve
ments in contemplation this road is
destined to be one of the best railroad
properties in the State.

Not long ago, while searching for old
Indian relics at Weber pond. Guy
Vickery had the good fortune to I'M
earth a large carved stone, which was
probably an Indian GCd. The image
is about 80 inches tail, and will weigh
fully IS pounds. 1t is made out of
flint like stone and the outlines CT the
chisel, or whatever instrument was
used in the carving, are plainly dis
cernable. Several of the features are
very clear, to make out. The image
has been shown to many Who are well
up in the relic hunting art, notable
among them being Boston man WHO
has spent years in making collection
of Indian relics, and all pronounce 1t
a good specimen of the work OF the an
Gent tribes of Indians.

Return Of a Successful Hunting Party.

One of the most successful hunting
parties of the season passed through
here Monday; rather most of the party
did. The party complete consisted OF
Dr. Knox and H. H. Bryant of Water
vile, T. S. Wingate and r. J. Ander-
son of Hallowell; ]. w. Cone and w.
H. H. Bryant of Boston. The party
was entertained by ]. c. Tracy ana
son Frank at Tracy's camp, twelve
miles from Stacyville, a fine location,
and the guides were J. c. Tracy and
George w. Davis. Four of the party
got two deer each and the other two a
deer apiece OF these six five were
bucks Most of the does and all the
lambs were allowed to go unframed.
The party wanted bucks and were able
to get them. But for the new law for
bidding taking moose before the 10Th
of October at least one and probably
two fine bulls surely would nave been
taken, they say. The most successful
hunters of the party endorse rules OF
large bore, believing that small put
let wounds with too small a flow OF
blood to track the animals with ease
The game laws of the State as regards
most of their features were heartily en-
dorsed by this party. They were ter
days in camp and the weather was
perfect. Mr.. H. H. Bryant, the cap
tain of this party, has visited this
region several seasons and judging
| from the results of this trip all vii
want to go there again.

1opsham Fair. Today.

The Sagadahoc county fair opens at
Topsham, today, and will continue
through Wednesday and Thursday.
Everything points towards one of the
finest exhibits in the history of the

stock have been entered, which fill
every stall on the grounds. Every race
has been filled, and with the exception
of the 2.40 class has eight to a race.
The ladies' race has four entries. There
is an unusual number of draft horses
entered, and interesting tests of
strength will be made. The hall show
is excellent. With good weather there
is 10 question of the success Of this ex-
hibition. A special train will leave

Augusta, Oct. IL.
William D. Archibald VS.. Augustus
Pease, appellant. Williamson & Burleigh
for plaintiff, Beane & Beane for defend
ant This case comes by appeal from the
municipal court of Augusta and is
brought to recover damages to a pung
which it is alleged was caused by the
negligence of the defendant, who lives in
Fayette.
The plaintiff, who lives in Mt. Vernon,
says that on the Goth of March last he
drove up to the store of Gordon & Henry
at Readfield Depot leaving. his team. con-
ssting of a horse and pung, in the high
way. but along by the side of the plat
form which ran along the nortnerly part
of the store, and about three feet from it.
the back of the pung being about up to
the line of passage way that came out
to the street close to the north side of the
store. The horse was unhitched and
plaintiff stood about % feet away from
him.
While the team was standing in this
position, the defendants horse. drawing
a sled, came running out of the passage
way without a driver. and jumped over
the end of his pung just back of the seat
drawing the sled into it and breaking it
practically ruined and he claims the
damage was IS. He says the defendant
is liable in damages because his driver
had negligently and carelessly dropped
the reins to the horse to load his sled
when the horse took fright and ran away.
The defendant denies the allegation of
negligence saying that the horse was
frightened at some dogs and ran and
threw the driver from the sled. He also
claims that even if there was negligence
in the escape of the horse, yet the plain
tiff himself was guilty of contrbutOry
negligence because he had left his team
in the highway without htchng or
driver. and with the pung extending into
the passage way from four to seven feet,
leaving but a narrow place for teams TO
pass, and therefore he cannot recover.
The case was concluded at o'clock,
with verdict in favor of the defendant.
Tomorrow, if there are no further civil
cases for trial. the jury will be excused
until Friday morning, when an important
criminal case will be tried, State VS.. Full
