THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Two Civil Cases of Considerable
Interest.

Samuel Smith and Thomas n. Lake
were before Judge Robinson yesterday
morning, charged with breaking into
Charles ID. Thomes's store on Long wharf
and stealing quantity of trawl gear.
They were bound over in the sum OF S3o2.
There were two interesting cases dis
posed of in the civil session OF the court
Tuesday. The first case was that OF an
action brought by DR.. William Rynne
against Andrew ODonoghue to recover
the sum of $57 for professional services
rendered the wife of the defendant. Mr..
O'Donoghue Is well known private de-
tective of this city and DR.. Rynne Is also
a resident of Portland. Considera BILE
testimony was presented by both sides.
The defense set up the claim that the
agreement which had been entered into
by both parties was ''no cure, no pay, -
and that as Mrs. O'Donoghue had not
been cured, her husband was under no
obligation to pay. James Comedian ap-
peared for the plaintiff while John B.
Kehoe acted as counsel for the defendant.
The decision was in favor of the defense.
1t will be recalled that the same case was
tried in the Superior court last October.
The suit was then against Mrs. O'Dono-
ghue and was thrown out on the ground
that the wife was not liable for the bill.
The other case was that in which Mrs.
Mary J. O'Connell and Julia A. Randall
brought action against Maurice j. Cramer
for payment of room rent, the room being
on Fore street. The defendant maintained
through his counsel, CALVIN E. Woodside,
that he had never had lock and key on
the door. The decision was in favor of the
defendant but the plaintiffs, through
their attorney. Dennis A. Meaher, took
an appeal to the Superior court and will
fight it out in that higher tribunal
These other cases were disposed of yes

AN ACrIyE BUSINESS LIFE.

The Portland correspondent OF the N.
e. Grocer, says: Eben Corey. ESQ.,, the
we'll known iron dealer, on February LIST,
rounded out half a century that he has
been engaged in that business for himself
in Portland. After three years spent in
learning the iron trade, February l., l8l8
be leased a store on Fore street, where his
prosperous business career was started.
He remained there for number OF years
and then moved to his present commodi-
ous quarters on Commercial street. Mr.
Corey although now in his 18th year, is
as active as many men a score of years
Younger. He is at his desk early and late
and still takes entire charge OF the con.
Germs Frances. This is certainly record
to be proud of and one that has but few

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

Tbs first half hour of the Wednesday
morning session was taken up with
naturalization cases. There were eight
applicants, and all were admitted.
4. A. Bridge g. Son vs.. Frank e. Todd.
The plaintiffs in this case run the
Bridge house in Oldtown, and sue the de-
fendant to recover a balance of s34. II for
board of himself and wife. After the
plaintiffs had put in their testimony
counsel for defense said he had nothing
to offer, because the plaintiffs had failed
to make out their case, not having proved
any license. Judge Bonney SAID he should
lot allow case to go off on technicality
like that, and should continue the case
and give the plaintiffs an opportunity to
produce his license If he had one. The
case was then continued until next We'd
nesday. The chances are that the parties
will settle the case before that time

sHOPLIFTER CAUGHT AT j. R.
LIBBY'S.

A stylishly dressed woman went into
J. R. Libby's store Tuesday
and took a piece of silk from the
counter. There was about fifteen yards
in the piece of silk of kind that retaiis
for 81. so yard. 1t was of a new pattern
just received, which shows that the
shoplifter was of an obseryant and dis
eliminating mind. She slipped it under
her cloak and was about starting away,
when one of the men clerks happened to-
see the performance. He promptly noti-
fed Mr.. Clarence Hayward, who by a
lively sprint caught the woman Just as
she was passing out of the doorway. She
was taken to the Office, where she was
searched and the plumber recovered. She
was allowed to go, as she Is we'll known,
and further proceedings may be COM
menced at any time.

SERFDOM IN AUSTRIA.
Revolt Against IL Explains Disorders
That Are Now Prevailing
In the Dual Empire.

The rising among the peasantry in
the northeast of Hungary is not So
cialist movement, as at first supposed,
but a revolt against serfdom, which
still exists in these districts. The peas.
ants can earn a shilling a day in sum-
mer and from fourpence to siXpence in
winter. Every peasant is compelled to
work 80 days in the year for the land
owner without payment. These so days
are not fixed. When the land owner
wants work done drummer marches
through the village streets and all the
male inhabitants have TO answer the
call and appear at the manor house.
The land owner then picks out as many
us he wants. The land owner almost in
variably eXacts this labor in summer,
when the PEASANTS time is most valu-
able. In the winter the peasants are
compelled 10 act as heaters in the hunts
for twopence a day.
In addition, the peasants women
folk have to scrub and sweep the land
owners house every week for nothing.
Many Of the land owners use the peas.
ants as beasts of burden, and il rs no
uncommon thing to see four men har-
messed to n pillow instead of horses.
1t is to sweep away these remnants
of serfdom that the peasants have risen,
but the prompt action of the govern.
ment in massing troops seems for the
moment 10 have averawed them. /
made a tour OF this district to-day. Al.
though the peasants march about in
bodies no collision with the military
occurred. The local authorities have
discovered that arms have been sys
tematically introduced into the neigh.
borhood for some months, and this
does not lessen their alsrm.-Lonlo on

BEHIND CHINA'S THRONE.
The Emperor In Mere Nonentity,
the DownEcr Empress Being the
Controlling Power.

There is n young man in Picking who
would be trembling now in his skin if
he were only able to realize properly
the danger that is threatened to him and
his empire. He is the Emperor Kuang
Hsu, euphemistically known as the son
of Heaven and brother of the sun. He
is the most secluded monarch on earth.
When he appears in public, which is
rarely, mating is hung up in front of
all the houses and strips of cloth are
stretched across the alleys and side
streets through which the imperial
procession must pass. He is invariably
accompanied by vast retinue of sol
diers and an army of courtiers, and the
man WHO peeps around the corner or
has his eyes fastened 10 hole in the
mating is liable to be blinded by bull
let or an arrow. When he is at home
he is carefully hidden away in the cen
ter of big Tartar city (Which is in the

phia, then as now. filed with great law
yers. 1t was on such field that young
Evarts began the battle of his life. He
has lived to get not only TO the front,
but TO the top.
AS an orator Il is more difficult to
give Evarts his true position. His style
was his own, and although by no
means the equal | think he Is more
like Wendell Phillips in style and man
ner than he is like any other of our
great American orators.
The body of Evarts' speeches is argu-
ment. His syllogism is so plain from
unbroken logic that child can make
the deduction. 1t is irresistible.
AS secretary OF state, Evarts wanted
10 be called conservative, but with the
sternest sense of justice, always a
stickler for the personal rights of
American citizens at home and abroad.
In the tricky small arts OF diplomacy,
Evarts, perhaps, would not be called an
expert Ut Shllll VI uiplOlHdNlSl, DuJ III
the discussion of great international
questions and broad craftsmanship he
held his own, and more, with the best
of them.
His wit is almost inspired. Like
mans first love the goddess is ever pres
cot with him. never deserts him. When
the monetary conference met in Wash
ington in 1878 | think, it became the
duty of the secretary of state to pay
them some social as well as political at
tention. Evarts. of course, took them
all down to Mount Vernon to see the
home and tomb of Washington. The
boat took them up the little river
SPAWNED by the natural bridge. A
tradition of the neighborhood tells the
story that Washington, who was some
thing of an athlete, once threw a silver
dollar over the bridge from about
where the party then stood. All ex-
pressed establishment at the feat of the
father of his country. Some tried with
bits of stone. All failed, of course.
Some even ventured to express doubt.
"Oh. well. gentlemen" said Evarts,

II goes now"

He is in no sense of the word a special

simply great in all these branches of the

arise under any of them. in either the
