Law Court Decisions.

The Law Court has rendered its decision
in the case of Z. B. Wellington of Albion
VS.. Monroe Trotting Park Co. The case
was entered and tried in the s. j. Court in
Kennebec county. Following is the rescript
by Judge Savage:
In an action against the "Monroe Trotting
Park Co." to recover an unpaid trotting
premium, evidence of the existence OF the
waldo and Penobscot society" has no ten
dency to rebuff the plaintiffs claim that the
hrst named corporation is liable.
In an action to recover an upald trotting
premium claimed to have been won by the
plaintiffs horse in horse race conducted
by the defendant, held, that the "judges"
constituted the tribunal to which the parties
submitted when they entered their horses
ior the race; and by their decision if honest
~ gwen, the parties are bound.
The plaintiff will not be debarred from
recovering premium which his horse has
clearly won when the judges, through the
fraud of one of their number, are led to
award the premium to another horse.
In final heat between two horses at
about dark and when the "stand' was
crowded, it appears that the three judges
oid not meet in consultation; but that one
OF thein assumed to communicate between
the other two, and falsely informed each
that the other and himself had decided to
give the race to horse which, in fact had
not won it,; and that each of these two
judges was thereby led to believe that a ma
Jority, of the three had decided in favor of
mat horse; and relying upon the informa-
zion so received, each submitted to the sup
posed majority, and therefore a public de-
clslon was accordingly announced.
deld That such conduct on the part of the
Judge who gave the false Information to the
other two judges was fradulent and that
decision so procured is not bar to an ac-
tlon to recover the premium by the owner
OF the horse which actually won the race.
The defendant sent the plaintiff check
Tor thirty dollars for "second money in
this race. The premium offered was 5000,
;a.nnd the plaintiff, claiming so per cent. as
'hrst money notified the defendant that
ne would not accept the check as second
money" but would credit it on account.
The check was cashed and the defendant
made no reply.
Held, that under the circumstances of the
case, the plaintiff cannot be considered as
having received the check in settlement of
the clam sued for
Judgment for plaintiff for $50 and inter-
est from July L. 1894

Brisk Demand for Vessels.

PHILADELPHIA, July %. The demand for
vessels in all lines of foreign and coastwise
trade continues and rates are advancing
because of a scarcity of tonnage Railroads
are said to be blocked with coal for coast
ports and vessels arriving with cargoes are
being discharged on their arrival quicker
than ever before. Steamers for grain con-
tinue in good demand for July, August and
September loadings.
There is also demand for vessels to load
cotton at southern ports for Liverpool,

Old Guns for Belfast and Augusta.

Congressman Burleigh has notified Seth
Williams Post of Augusta that the Belfast
Post has made application for two of lot of
five 32-pounders, the most popular for orna-
mental purposes, of those condemned can
non, which are available for distribution,
under the law passed in 1896. The remain
ing three may be had for Augusta by paying
the cost of transportation. This offer will
probably be seized at once and the guns
placed on Monument park at Augusta, with
sufficient number of projectiles to form
neat pyramids for each. 1t so happens that
the park is triangular in shape, so that the
three guns will fill the bill for it very nicely.

Tapped the Till.

The Wilcox store building, neal the
corner of Custer Avenue and Fifth
street, occupied by A. Wilcox, w. ".
Starkweather and S. G. Wampler, grain
dealer. grocer and jeweler respectively,
was entered by a brace of burglars about
three O'Clock last Sunday morning with
the evident intention Of robbery. Their
purpose was practically defeated, how
the second floor or the building VINO,
hearing their footsteps below, quietly
went down the stairway. and approach
ing an open door communicating with
the store room, he could plainly hear
the crooks, who were at that moment
engaged in opening the till. Realizing
the situation at once he returned TO his
room to get his gun, intending to return
and take . shot at them, but his plan
was foiled by his over haste, the robbers
hearing his movements and taking to
their heels we're soon lost to view. Mr..
Wsmpler, hearing them when they
rushed from the store, hurried to his
room, and getting his gun, went to a
front window, through which he could
plainly see the maurauders as they ran
down Fifth street toward the railroad.
1t was then light enough to distinguish
n person from another, and Mr.. w,
feels quite confident that he knows one
of the parties. The sum of their re.
ward for the chances they took in being
used as a target, was ore daddy dollar
and two nickles, leaving two dollars and
fifteen cents in the till, which, in thei,
eagerness to escape. they left untouched
They entered the store by means of q
key, the lock being of the ordinary
pattern. Yale locks, which have hitherto
been the exception, will probably be
the rule hereafter in this place, where
any old key would, in many cases, serve
the purpose Of the burglar in prosecut
ing his vile purpose. No arrests.
