MISS ANNIE RUSSELL.
Miss Annie Russell will be at the JEFF
ferson Thcater on Thursday for one night
only She will present her new play,
Miss Hobbs" This is her second season
as "a star under the management of
Charles Frohman In her first She made
a great success as Catherine. This
year she is credited with far surprising,
both artistically and financially, the re
cord of her first season In Miss Hobbs
this popular actress played to over $50
standing-room audiences at the Lyceum
Theater, New York. The curtain never
went up on performance that it did
not find the house filed to capacity. This
great success seemed to he due to the play
presenting Miss Russell at her best, and
all the charm and cleverness of her pre-
ViouS performances seemed to be repeated
and accumulated in her characterization
of the little man hating heroine of Miss
Hobbs" She seemed even sweeter and
more winsome than ever, and both the
gentle and dramatic qualities of her art
seemed given enchanted expression The
play was potent factor. Mr.. Jerome is
known as the most graceful and good
natured humorist of the present day
Mrs. G.. II. Gilbert and Charles Richnan,
formerly of Augustin Days company,
are now foremost in Miss Russell's sup
port The other members of the caste are
Campbell Gollan, William II, Lewes,
Margaret Gordon, Harry Rose, Francis
Sedgwick and Elizabeth Rathburn. This
is one of the few cities TO be visited after
the long New York run.

FROM THE LAW COURT.
Several Rescripts InveivinE Interesting
Points ofLays.

The following rescripts were received
from the Law court yesterday:
Somerset, -.
Railroad company. Rescript. (No
opinion.l
wiswell, c. AFTER careful exami-
nation and consideration of this case we
are not satisfied that the verdict for the
plaintiff for 1891 .25 was so manifestly
wrong rs to warrant Its being set aside.
The plaintiff was locomotive fireman
in the defendants employ. While en-
gagged in the performance of his duties as
such he sustai&ed serious injury, finally
resulting In the loss of an eye, by the
explosion of glass tube, connected with
an automatic lubricating cup attached to
the boiler head.
His contention Is that the cup rs used
and located was unnecessarily danger
Gus; that these glass tubes We're so liable
to explode and had so frequently exploded
that the danger was, or should have been,
known by the employer that this danger
might have been easily avoided by the use
of some shield or guard about the glass
tube, which, he claims, was entirely
practicable without in any way destroying
the efficiency of the lubricating cup, and
that such shields were in use at the time
of the accident and before. He further
| claims that this risk was not assumed by
him. because the danger was not one
incidental to his employment and was
not known by him previous to the acct
dent.
These were all questions of fact for
the jury. There were no doubtful ques-
tions of law involved. The well settled
principles of law applicable to the respec-
tive rights and duties of the parties, as
master and servant, were carefully given
by the presiding justice and in such a
manner as TO fully protect the rights of
| the defendant.
There was considerable evidence in sup
port of the plaintiff : contentious, in fact,
the controversy between the parties and
their counsel were more as TO the con clu
sions and differences to be drawn from the
| facts, than as TO the facts themselves.
1t is quite possible that we would not
have drawn the same differences, or co me
TO the same conclusions as did the jury
| upon some of these matters. But we
think that these were questions about
which reasonable and fair minded men
might differ, and consequently do not
consider that the verdict should be set
aside.
Motion overruled.

from Billy Soule's camp at Cupsuptic,
with the handsomest string of trout that
has been brought into Portland this

and they were all over ten inches long
and weighed all the way from "a pound to
three pounds and half each. One Of
them measured nineteen inches. They
were all square tails and when placed
side by side upon a, board presented a
picture that would have set the tongues
of all the fishermen in the world to wag-
cling could they but see them. These
trout We're caught in day and half by
Mr.. Heseltine and he says that he has had
good luck before but never such luck as
this. Some of the big fellows gave him
lively tussle before they were safe in
