TO RECOVER ROYALTIES.

Saturday morning Judge Strout gave a
hearing ON two bills in equity brought
by the Fairbanks Boston Wood Rim COM
pany VS.. the State of Maine Wood Kim
company, to recover royalties sggregat-
ing $4,000, or cents per pair ON wood BIZ
cycle rims manufactured by the defen-
daut company, in accordance with a con-
tract to that effect entered into by the
two corporations.
To these bills the defense filed demur-
rers on the ground that the plaintiff had a
remedy at law. 1t was further claimed
in defense that while the contract for
payment of royalties existed as affirmed
by the plaintiff, 1.-The defendant had
suffered much injury from the plaintiff s
failure to protect defendant from i'm
fringement in the United States and
Canada on the plaintiff's patents for the
manufacture of wood bicycle rims. as
provided in the contract for the payment
of royalties. Clifford, Verrin s. Clifford
for the plaintiff; Enoch Foster for the
defense.
After hearing, Judge Strout ruled
that the plaintiff had remedy in equity
and the defendants demurrer was over
ruled. Saturdays hearing was upon the
demurrer. Hearing on the allowance OF
the bills will come later.

It has been quite generally assumed that
Dreyfus will be acquitted on his second
trial, but that is by no means certain.
The influences which brought about his
first nonvio tion are by no means de-
stroyed, though they are considerably
eelpplen. Gen. Nero Ter boasts that ne has
new evidence which will remand him to
ksssll's Island again, and there can be no
question that the army is full of men
who would like to see h i'm condemned
without much regard to whether he is
guilty or not The ministry is doing it's
best, apparently, to secure him fair
trial, and the removal of Gen. Zurlinden
who ordered tho prosecution OF Col.
Piquart. for exposing thu proof of Estsr-
hazy's guilt. is a step in that direction.

MAINE LOSES SEVERAL THoUs-
ANDS.


ANDS.
Owing to lack of instruction of the
officers of the Maine regiment in regard
tosthe dispensing of railroad tickets, when
the troops we're waiting to be sent to
Chickamauga, year ago, the State OF
Maine is several thousand dollars out OF
pocket. When the companies went into
camp at Augusta tickets were distributed
among the men without any record being
kept, other than general memorandum
of the total number issued and the total
amount represented. The same Informal
plan was followed when the rejs oted
volunteers came back from Augusta and
new recruits were sent.
Now that the State is negotiating for a
settlement of it's war claims By the gov
erBment, the official information comes
from the department that a complete
record of all tickets issued-to whom,
when, by whom issued and for what pur-
pose-must be furnished before the State
can be reimbursed for such expenses. To
comply with this demand is impossible,
no detailed account of the issuance of
tickets having been made. Unless the
ruling of the war d apartment is modified
Maine will be obliged to bear quite an
item of loss aocruing from it's lack of
knowledge of what the government would
expert in regard to the transportation of
state troops.

A Serious Accident.

Mrs. Streeter met with a severe and
painful accident last Tuesday evening.
She and her cousin, the Rev. r. II.
McGinness, who is out from Iowa on 4
visit, had been to Bismarck and were
returning to Braddock In a spring wag-
on loaded with furniture and other
goods. Although tho evening was dark
and rainy, as Mrs. Streeter wished to
reach her home at Linton the follow
ing day, she concluded to finish her
trip to Braddock regardless of the
weather, which had been good when
she left the Capital City. Near Soren
Wollcnhaupt's ranch there is a noto-
riously bad place in the road, and one
which, owing to the slope on either
side, it is difficult to avoid. The heavy
rains had washed gully in one wheel
track, and, when the wagon wheels
went into the rut, the vehicle upset.
Inc horses were going at slow walk,
but Mrs. Strcetcr and MIR. McG inncss
were thrown out. In falling she must
have attempted to break her fall by ex-
tending her left arm, which was broken
between wrist and elbow. The worst
injury, however, was at the wrist, the
llgaments of which were torn apart.
1t seems that, where an injury of
uuiS Alnu oCCuiS, Cllc uRdmenGS Will
not unite, as broken bone will, and
consequently the wrist will never re.
gain it's normal strength and appear
ance. Mrs. Streeter will not be able
to come home for three weeks from the
time OF tho accident, as the injuries
require perfect quiet during that time.
The wagon being a little top-heavy
from It's load, the injured lady, after
the accident, found it necessary to as.
sist with her uninjurcd arm in right
Ing. the vehicle. Then, for seven OF
eight miles, she rode in the wint

With her uninjured right hand. DR.
