Kennebunk Business.

A business deal of some Importance to
Kennebunk has just been made through
W. L. Dane, whereby Mr.. Emery Andrews
has bought for the Leatheroid Manu-
featuring company the old grist mill and
Cleaves mill, so called Both are run by
water power, and the whole water priyi-
lege is now owned by two corpora tions.
The Leatheroid company bought the in
terest owned by R. W. Lord and the Fer.
guson heirs, and the town of Kennebunk
owns the power that operates the shoe
shop and electric light plant, the latter
being Its property. For the present the
tenants will probably remain as they are,
but a rumor is atloat that the Cleaves
mill is to be occupied in the near future
by a southern manufacturing industry
that will be a great boom for the town.
The board of trade has recently reor.
gained, with DR.. T. NJ Ross as presi.
dent; L. M. Perkins, first vice president
FL. F. Curtis, second vice president, and
G. Fl. Coles, secretary. Its reorganization
is said to have a special significance
though it has no connection with the
transfer of the mill property.

THE THOMSON LINE.
Will Put On a Weekly Line to London Next
Season.

The Thomson line have arranged with
the Grand Trunk railway to put on a
weekly service between Portland and
London during the coming season, which
will be composed of six of their largest
steamers with a carrying capacity of from
5000 to 1000 tons each. The boats are of
the most modern type and especially
adapted for the trade, three of them being
fitted with mechanical refrigerators
which will enable the line to give fort
nightly cold storage service for the car
riage of perishable cargo such as eggs,
meats, butter, fish, etc. The steamers
comprising the line will probably be as
follows: Cervona, Hurona, Devona,
Iona, Corona, Kildona, and are rated A

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT
Law Term-western District.

Tuesday-The first case taken up was
the libel case of George Mentally against
Edwin G. Burleigh and other proprietors
of the Kennebec Journal. 1t will be re-
membered that the Journal published an
item charging McNally, who was a
deputy sheriff, with conniving at the
escape of a prisoner. McNally brought
suit against the proprietors and after a
long and hard fought trial got q verdict
for 1896 81. The case is before the court
on motion for a new trial because the
verdict was against the evidence. The
argument in support of the motion to set
aside the verdict was mainly as to the
creditability of witnesses and the compe-
tency of the evidence. Hon. Herbert
Heath argued for the Journal and Hon
W. FL. Mcclellan of Belfast for McNally.
The next case was the city of Augusta
against David P. Kimball and another,
trustees of the estate of the late Horace
Williams. There is much technical law
in it but the precise question seems to be
this: where the trustees of an estate and
the fund are out of the state, and the
beneiciaries, or some of them, are citi-
zens of the state, where is the estate, or
that portion in which the resident
benefeiaries are interested, taxable. The
trustees and the fund of this estate are
without the state, but several of the
beneficiaries live in Augusta and Augusta
claims to tax their interest in the estate,
The case was argued by the Hon. W. S.
Choate, city solicitor, and by Hon. Her
bert NJ Heath for the defence.

nraokerel Are Caught With Baited Hook

Maclkerel Are Caught With Bafted Hook.
In O well -known Commercial street
store where fishermen are fitted out, a
curious controversy arose yesterday. A
countryman who happened in said it was
rumored in the rural regions whence he
came that the fisherman in catching
mackerel with q jig, put no bait on the
hook, using bait merely to toll the fish
around the boat.
THAT is So" said the proprietor of the
store, who knows much of fish and fish
erlnen.
'That is not so,' declared with equal
positiveness a man who claimed that he
had seen hundreds of mackerel caught.
The issue being thus joined, dollar
was wagered and an old fisherman was
summoned in as arbitrator.
1.-THE mackerel fisherman always bats
his hook when he fishes for mackerel, I"
said the arbitrator. "He never fishes
with the bare hook
This settled it.
