DOYLE'S CLAIM.
Not Satisfied With Amount Allowed
by Commissioners.
After III. Presentation of His Case tn [.
Court Grant:d Motion For Non-Suit.

The trial OF the appeal OF Jvtfl r. Doyle
from the decisiou of the commissioners to
award damages for land taken for the
new state mouse took place before jury
In Judge Wilbur's court yesterday. Mr..
Doyle claimed damages from the commits.
sioners for q house that was on land
owned by Marshal Woods, which land
was taken for the esplanaoe on the Smith
street side OF the grounds. The commits.
sioners rejected Air. Doyle's claim where
upon he took advantage OF the right OF a
jury trial.
The fact In the case callsd for quite a
review Of tho topography Of small por-
tion of Smiths Hill for nearly half a
CO ntury In which review the jury was
mucn interested. In 1850 Marshall wooos
was the owner OF q large tract Of land
on Gaspee snd Smith streets AL Il he lease 1
to q man named Wallace a portion OF il
near the corner Of the two thorough ares
for q period OF ID years ana before the
lease had run verv long Its term was ex-
tended to 1854 There were houses built
upon the land anu streets run through IT,.
Mr.. Wallace, the lessee. died In 1855. and
his administrator. Richard Bush, soon
after sold the HOUSES To the late Il. A.
Doyle. There ars no further records of
any leasing OF the property until 1857,
when il was leased TO Ellen, wife OF n.
A. Doyle for one year and after that year
there are endorsements ON tne lease tu
show that the land was occupied until
Mrs. Doyle's death in 1871.
There was an increase In the ground
rent several times during this latter perl
od. After the Death Of his wifo T.. A..
Doyle held the property as tenant from
year Co year. In the original lease there
was revision that the houses buiis up
on tns land might bs removed when the
lsase expired.
TIE applicant for jury trial CLAIMS
that Just PREVIOUS to the taking of his
house By the state ne had laid out several
hundred dollars la repairing the same
and he asked the jury to give him tho
value OF these repairs and also the value
OF the house.

the fourth.best of q f1ve.card suit from Y looks
as II Y had some strength In trumpB himself, A
takes the very judiciOus course OF continuing
his suit.
Tricks 4, 5. Y makes the same attempt as in

but z does not feel justified in leading trumps

TraD1srS Are killing Door ts Ba Vrssd In HAITI
lag Bears.

BANGOR. Me-. June 1o.-There Is said to have
been a great slaughter of deer In the region
around Mount KatAhdin during the past few
weeks. Bears are very plenty on the cast side
of the mountain and the hunters are trapping
large numbers OF them and using deer meat for
batting their traps. They Set the trap in =
clump OF bushes and then kill a deer. cut him
open. and hang him up over the trap, 90 that
the blood will cover tho teeth Of tho trap. A
party OF Boston fishermen visited a pond near
the Hunt farm u few days ago, and on their way
through the woods they found q boar trap
bsited in this manner. Ono Of the guides with
the party sprung II and put a sign on II saying:
II will see that you settle for this when the
September term Of court comes around
Game seems to be very plenty In the Maine
woods and almost every nshinE party has the
opportunity OF seeing q moose. The other day
al Kinoo two ladies were out for a walk and
they saw q herd of fifteen deer In the pasture
near the hotel. At another time the guests at
the hotel were sitting on tho piazza and saw a
big bull moose come out Of the woods and try to
get through q fence only a few rods away. Tho
fence was made OF wire and the animals neck
was badly lacerAted, The moose finally sue
ceeded in getting through the wire and then
went into the lake In the midst OF . dozen or
moro people who were out canoeing. lie SWAN
for the shore and the cAnoeist followed him
through the water, keeping within twenty feet

Al get two tricks only.
Trick /. In the first example. A had re.entry
in every suit. and could afford to lead the
trumpB without waiting TO establish his suit.
In this case, A cannot begin with the trumps,
because he has re-entry in ono suit only, and
must get his suit established first.
Trick 2. va hand presents a good chance for
his suit. although his ro.entry card il forced on
the first trick. But for his trump strength the
spade jack would perrin ps be better.
Trick 3. Having got his suit established. A
proceeds to lead trumps, without stopping to
is carried away by his first conception OF the
diamonds, four good trumps, and q suit that
needed only one round TO establish.
Trick !. The lead of the small trump from A
marks him with four. and Y cannot afford to
take up the trump attack with the whole club
suit against him, so he goes on with tho dla-
monds to zee how they lie.
Trick s. Upon catching the king, which estab-
fishes tho suit for Y, two courses. are open to
him-to continue the diamonds In the hope that
the first force will be on tho strong trump hand,
or to try to get 2 into the load to como through
with q trump. Y selects the latter.
Trick 8. BY forcing the last trump from A
with his established suit, Y Ia certain 10 make
two more tricks in diamonds.
The fault In As play In this case 10 his failure
to see that his king Of diamonds was worthless
as q card OF re-entry. While he hold both king
and queen no was safe. but the development
should have warned him that tho trump lead
waS too forward q game. Here 10 the everyday,
In which A sees the difficulties of his position:

Alb get seven tricks only.
Trick /. AS hand is . typical ~lonR-suit hand,
and demands an immediate lead of trumps.
He has a five.card suit. headed by two honors,
counting the ten as one. re-entry in both the
other suits, and four good trumps.
Trick 3. A ig able to place all tho trumps. The
the fourchette, over tho o. and the 8 is the only
trump remaining In rs hand. II holds the 1,
the ace will catch all the others; II b has no
more. the queen must be guarded in US hand,
and A will get two trumps for one by going on.
Trick o. 3 makes the only trick In his hand
while he is in the lead, the diamond being OF no
use to him because he cannot lead his partners
suit n second time.
Trick 8. A knows his partner has not the
queen of clubs. and II the 2, returned. is the
ing the whole suit. But II the queen does not
Dali and is in rs hand, 1t will be impossible for
A to catch 1t. II he plays the ace. II the deuce.
returned, 10 the only one b has. tho queen and o
are both against A, and no matter how those
cards lie. one or the other must eventually atop
the suit. Under such conditions, especially with
two kings to be lod up to. A should certainly
have hnessed the Q, because oven II Y holds the
queen and draws the losing trump, he will have
TO lead up to A some suit which win put him in.
Tricks 2. g.. Y refuses to part with the best
trump while he knows. A has another with
which to bring in his clubA. VIII n Y gets in II 10
easy for him TO lead his partners indicated suit.
On the everyday, A realizes the Importance OF
retaining the command OF his suit until the
third round. and the play goes rs follows:
