TRENTON, Sept. "A, 1S9s.-An opinion
was rendered today by Justice Van syckle
refusing the application of Attorney Gem
eral Grey and Ex-Governor George Il.
Werts, for q writ of mandamus compel
ling the officers Of the old town Of Dover
who were In office IN 1857. to resume their
functions This is the case for which the
Supreme Court was called in special ses-
sion on September 2 and ends a bitter
fight that has been in Dover for some
time
Dover became incorporated as a city
under the act of 1896. recently declared
Unconstitutional by the Supreme Cour.
While It was operating as a city new Of
ficials were elected and regularly iuduct-
ed into Office. They refused to vacate
when the act of 1895, under which Dover
was Incorporated, was declared unconsti-
tutionaI by the Supreme Court, on the
ground that an appeal to the Court of
Errors from the decision against them
acted as a stay.
The mandamus application denied to-
day, was made on the theory that Dover
should go back to the form OF government
existing before the act Of 1885 was taken
advantage of, and that the officers then
in Office should resume their positions
and continue until their successors were
elected. The opinion settles an import
ant question and asserts that the govern
ment of Dover Is a de facfo government,
and that the officers are de facto officers,
and can continue to exercise the duties as
such until ousted by quo warranto pro-
ceedings which must be Instituted by the
Attorney General. The syllabus of the
opinion says
"A municipal government which is or
ganized under an act OF the Legislature,
which is subsequently adjudged 10 be IN
constitutional Is q government de facto,
and its officers are officers de facto. and
It's authority must prevail and be re-
speeted until the Attorney General inter-
poses by quo warranto and secures the
actual custer and removal Of the incum-
bents in Office -

MOTOR TOO SMALL.
kennebec Valley Stone too Tough for the City.
Latest Improvement.

The city is again experiencing trouble
with its stone crusher, the motor in use
not being heavy enough to furnish the
required power.
When the stone crusher was bought the
agent asserted that 10-horse power mo-
tor was running similar crushers in other
places To be on the safe side, 25-horse
power motor was used. When the stone
crusher was started it was found that
the motor was not large enough. From
what has been learned, 1t seems that the
stone which, the city wishes to crush is
nearly as hard as flint, in fact much
heavier than that ordinarily used. On
account of this it takes unusual power Ia
operate the -crusher.
1t was thought, yesterday, that it would
be necessary to install larger motor.
Late in the afternoon, yesterday. the
trouble with the crusher was found and
remedied. Since the crusher has been in
operation four men have been feeding il.
Many times wedge-shaped pieces of rock
nave been put in the crusher when the
jaws were open. making combination
