ANOTHER CANE FIRE.

SPRECKELSVILLE. March 2S.-A
second cane fire on Hawaiian CONNER
cial e. Sugar Company's plantation oc-
CURED yesterday About fifteen acres
of rattoons were burned. The belief is
general that this fire started from
smokers who had hidden themselves in
the middle of the field, where they had
gone to secrete themselves for their
clandstine enjoyment. The continued
drought that has prevailed added much
to the difficulty of fighting the fire.
Hereafter, crops will be planted so
as to minimize the danger from fire.
Alternate fields will be planted at diff
ferent seasons, so that ripe fields in
which the danger from fire is greatest,
in periods of drought will adjoin green
fields in which the danger is less.

Law Court Cases.

Judge Wiswell has handed down the re-
scripts in the following Waldo County
cases:
Charles A. Milliken, applt., vs.. BENJAMIN
W. Downs ct al.
over a wood road across plaintiffs lot OF
wild land.
The defense was license given by one Vose
who, it is claimed, was an agent of the plain
tiff and had authority to give such license.
The verdict was for the defendant and the
case comes here upon a motion for new
trial on the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence. 1t is urged that there
was not sufficient evidence to show the au.
thority of Vose but there was some evidence
to the effect that he was the plaintiffs agent
respecting this lot of land he himself testi-
fed so, although later he claimed that he did
not have authority to give the license relied
upon by the defendant.
Where the amount involved is trivial and
insigniticant as in this case, it is specially
important that there should be an end to the
litigation and, after the verdict of the jury
the court will not very nicely weigh the
evidence to see if it is possible that the YER
dict was wrong.
Motion Overruled.
Belfast Savings Bank vs. Mrs William K
Lancey.
This action was commenced Nov. II, 1876,
and the defendants real estate was attached
upon the writ. More than four months after
the attachment of real estate, the defendant
filed his petition in bankruptcy, he was duly
adjudged bankrupt, and subsequently, re-
celved his discharge. An assignee was ap-
pointed who in pursuance of a license grant,
ed by the q. S. District Court, sold the real
estate attached upon the writ in this action,
subject to such attachment. The action was
continued from term to term until the Janu-
ary term, 1899, in Waldo county, when the
plaintiff filed a motion setting out the facts
and asking that it might have special
Judgment for the amount found due upon
the notes in suit and execution against the
property attached upon the writ.
But prior to this the defendant had died,
letters of administration had been duly
granted upon his estate, and his estate had
been duly adjudged and decreed insolvent,
and commissioners in insolvency appointed.
Held: That Notwithstanding the fact that
the real estate attached upon the writ had
passed to the defendants assignee in bank
ruptcy, and had been sold by him, subject to
the attachment, the plaintiffs attachment
had been dissolved according to the provis-
ions of r. S. c. 81 sec. IS, by the decree of
insolvency on the estate of the defendant
before a levy or sale on execution, and that
consequently the plaintiff is not entitled to a
special judgment against the property at
tached upon the writ.
Case remanded to the court at nisi prius
for disposal in accordance with the opinion.
The case is marked No 1 on the Waldo
county docket, and bids fair to ontlive many
new entries.

Proverbs Made Over.

What is home with mother-in-law?
Laugh out, o giggling girls.
One swallow does not make satisfied
feeling.
A word to the wise is sufficient; but there
is no use wasting breath on fool.
Think of ease and work On, but don't
think so hard you have to stop work.
From sun to sun woman's words are
never done.
Take time by the forelock, but don't pull
too hard
In time of peace prepare for war, for you
bill for your new hat.
There is no place like home unless you can
get another rent cheaper.
If home is really where the heart is, some
people must have mighty close quarters.
The prudent woman sets her house in Or
der previous to a visit from her mother.in-
law.
Act we'll your part, for if you don't people
will find that what seems to be honor, lies.
Let him who has the chink to pay for it
bear the palm.
! He who tells the joke first laughs best.
| They may laugh who win, but if you get
beaten you can grin and bear it.
The laborer who works by the job is, as a
rule, not worthy of his hire.
| If honest labor ALWAYS bears a lovely face
we must confess we would prefer some dis
honest work.
Economy is wealth but if you practice it toe
strictly. your friends will economise in theil
attentions.
| A stitch in time saves nine boot buttons.
