w,NTeRpoRT WATER CASES.
Important Hearing Before Judge
Whitehouse mt Belfast.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Belfast. January 1.-Two Important
cases were heard today before the supreme
court, Judge whitehonse presiding, IL
which Ex-Governor Cleaves appeared as
counsel. The cases in litigation grow
ont of a contract for water entered into
between the town OF Winterport and the
Winterport Water company.
A charter was granted in 1895 to the
Winterport Water company with aIthori'
" to construct system of water works
in the town of Minterport. AT the annual
town meeting in March under appropriate
articles in the warrant, the town voted
TO exempt the property of the water corn
pany from taxation and directed the So
lect.nen to contract with the water com
pany for water for tire purposes No action
having been taken by the selectmen I'M
der the powers granted by the vote. u
special town meeting was hello in April,
1856, at which meeting the town voted to
contract with the Wipterport Water com
pany for not less than 20 hydrants for not
less than 30 years, in accordance with the
company's proposal to the town, ana d.
rected committee, consisting or

Fernald in the name of the town TO make
contract with the Winterport Water
company agreeable to the vote. accepting
and adopting the proposal OF the compa-
ny.
This company executed contract in
accordance with the company's proposal
to the town, and az directed by vote OF
the town, which contract provided among
other things, that in addition to the sum
of 500 per year for hydrant service the
town should pay such further sum each
year as shall be equal to the amount OF
taxation, if any, assessed against the prop
erty of said company by such town OF
Winterport. Notwithstanding this con-
tract the town in 1891 assessed the prop
erty and plant of the water company. and
thereupon the company demanded OF the
town of Winterport such additional
amount for hydrant service as would
equal the amount of the tax assessed
against the company. The town of Win
terport brought suit against the water
company for the amount OF the tax, ana
the water company brought suit agaist
the town, claiming damages for vloia'
ton of contract. Very many witnesses
were in attendance and after the testl'
mony was taken the two cases were sent
to the law court on report and Will be
argued at Bangor in June

BLOW At CIVIL SERVICE.


ouire territory 10 be held and governed
PERMANENTLY as colonies
Mr.. CafYery's speech WAS constitutions
argument in support OF the Declarations
OF the resolution. He declared that the
resolution went to the very root OF the
question OF the power OF the United states
to establish permanently govern ents In
territories far distant from our own lands
He proposed, he said, to institute an
inquiry into the basic principles OF the
powers Of the government
He pointed out that the government OF
the United states vas formulat. q by lbs
founders In order that social ana gov
ernmeptal fabrica Of their own might be
orystalized into form Of law. MIR Gallery
said that the sword and councils OF
Washington made him the Savior OF his
country, that his supreme patriotism ana
wisdom eminently qualified him to
establish this government. He held that
Washington and his counsels and
teachings was opposed to the acquisition
Of foreign territory for despotie govern
ment. He referred them 10 that sentence
Of Jefferson that governments can only
acquire their Just powers from the consent
of the governed. 1--WE have heard" he
said, "some startling doctrines rs to the
power of the United States to establish
governments In foreign tel ritory acquired
by the United States announced on this
floor"
He declared that these announced
doctrines were more arbitrary than any
which had ever before been heard in the
United Stats Congress. They conferred
upon Congress supreme power, a des-
potlc power, unlimited and unrestricted
"If the argument advanced by Senator
Platt of Connecticut De true and sound
then the individual rights OF men are 20
be held by the United States under a con-
gressional despotisin.
Mr. Caffery then entered upon an
elaborate argument TO show that hereto
fore it had been the unwavering policy Of
this government to obtain from the
governed their consent before the reins OF
government were drawn over them. Mr..
Gallery said even II We had the right to
incorporate thcse distant islands. In
habited by strange people, into this
country, freedom could not exist In the
sub-tropics
"The history Of the word shows tina I
God has set the bounds where the differ
ent peoples of the earth shall abide. When
/ look at the conditions of the world am
unalterabiy convinced that no permanent
sway can be held by the white man over
the black man in the sub-tropics except
by strong military and cruel desptoism. "
Mr.. Gallery said that we were some
times told from the pulpit that We had a
| mission to perform; that mission being Ia
spread among oil peoples the doctrine OF
human rights He doubted whether this
could be done by placing upon the people
a yoke and whether the principles Of
Christianity could be advanced by force.
At the instance of MIR. Hoar, the House
bill to extend the powers and duties Of
the commissioner OF fish and fisheries SO
as to include game birds and other wild
birds useful 10 man, was passed, the Sen
ate bill protecting songibirds being added
as an amendment.

Press reports in regard to the
situation in the Phillipes are, as
usual. conflicting. One day S
dispatches will say the insur-
gents are whipped and about
ready to sue for mercy. The
following day one will come like
the following dated the 31st of
March: "The transportation de
partment Of the army is becom-
ing very active The news from
the Philippines is of such a ma
ture that the shipment Of sup
plies and troops is being hur-
ried as rapidly as possible. .
Which is correct? and which is

Played the Letter Box.

Court R. Perry is trainmaster
at Winslow for the Santa Fe
railway. The boys in Superin-
tendent Well S office in the
Bradbury block tell a story on
him which they have asked to
have published, as illustrating
the effect of a long stay in the
country and the consequent
confusion resultant on being
for time in the metropolis. Mr..
Perry some time ago found that
he needed a dentist S attention.
This, by the way, is very com
mon complaint among railway
men who happen to be staying
at stations out on the desert.
They have a sudden attack of
toOthaChe and are unable to
work until they can have the
offending tooth repaired to Los
Angeles. Accordingly Mr..
Perry notified the superintend-
ent and was given permission
to come to the city and have
his molars attended to. He ar
rived one morning and reported
at the general offices and told
what a terrible time he had had
with his teeth; he had been
kept awake night after night
until his nerves were all gone.
Then he went ont aud was not
seen for some days. One Sat
urday evening Joe Walker, the
chief clerk in the superintend-
ent's office, was going down
Spring street. When near
Third he saw Perry leaning up
against a letter box. He was
slipping nickles in the letter
slot and then pulling down the
top. This he repeated several
times, until he had deposited
about half a dollar in nickels in
the box. Walker then walked
up to him and asked him what
he was doing. "Oh, just play
ing the slot machine, said
Perry. "This one is no good.
[ have been putting nickels in
for the last half hour and it has
not paid cent yet Walker
took him gently by the arm and
steered him carefully by all of
the dentist Offices they passed,
for it was evident that Mr. Per
ry had all of his teeth attended
to before he tackled that nick
elm the letter box scheme. At
WinsloW they do not have such
things. Los Angeles Herald.

NEW FREIGHT SCHEDULE.
Santa Fe Will Make a Change
in Its Time Card.

A new schedule changing the
time of Santa F'e freight trains
is being arranged at the Santa
Fe Offices in Topeka and will go
into effect some time this week
It will readjust the time of
freight trains, especially the
through trains, giving them
more time on the New Mexico
division in order to increase the
tonnage over the mountains.
This time will be almost wholly
made up on the divisions east.
With the exception of changing
some of the meeting points the
new schedule will in no way
affect the passenger trains.
The summer time card on the
Santa Fe will go into affect
about June 1, when the Califor-
MIA limited trains are taken off.
There will probably be few
changes made in the train ser
vice or time of trains at that
time, but about September 1,
when through connection has
been established into Kansas
City radical changes may be
looked for. A new overland
train from Chicago to San Fran
cisco will be established and

A Shooting Affair.

A shooting affray took place
in the Owl saloon on Wednes
day evening last between VIM.
Corbett, miner, and r. l..
StegaH, a faro dealer. 1t seems
that the trouble started on
Tuesday while Corbett was
playing at the faro game run
by Stegall. And, SO it is stated,
after roundly abusing Stegall,
Corbett left the table threaten
ing to do Stegal. On yester-
day afternoon Corbett returned
to the table kept by Stegall
and renewed his threatening
and abusive language. Ste
gall did not wait for the other
man to execute his threats but
acted on the offensive, by strik-.
ing Corbett over the head with
the butt of a billiard que,
breaking it into without effect.
The men then clinched and Cor
bett grabbed Stega1l by the
throat. AS both were power
full men it was some moments
before either had the advan-
tage, and before bystanders
could interfere Stegall drew
his gun and shot, the bullet pen
etrating the feshy part of the
shooters left hand first and
then striking Corbett in the left
cheek, inficting an ugly wound.
Deputy Marshal Benbrook ar
rived on the scene in time to
prevent any further gun play,
and taking charge of the gun
and belligerants, marched them
up to the county jail and had
their wounds dressed.
Stegall was bailed out by his
friends; and Corbett is now in
the hands of the warden of the
county hospital. Both men will
have d hearing before the JUS
tice court.-Globe Belt.
