The Streets Filled.
From an early hour the streets were
filed with an eager and expectant
throng. Pennsylvania avenue was a
blaze of color from end to end,
the business houses being hung with
bunting, flags and patriotic devices.
The great public buildings added their
share to the brilliancy of the specta-
Gle. From the front of the treasury
building radiated an enormous sun
burst of red, white and blue. Further
on, the war, state and navy depart
ments, and the department of justice
were respondent in the national
colors. At the other end of Pennsyl-
vania avenue the massive front of the
capitol was hung with long streamers,
and from the dome fiuttered myriad
of flags, while the front of the huge
post Office department was covered
with the national colors.

LAW COURT DECISION.

Justice Savage Of the Maine supreme
court has handed down a decision in the
case of Grant Oakman vs.. James Il. Oak
man, which l. of unusual interest 10 law
ycrs and other persons interested in di-
Vorce business: Odkman is the husband
Of the defendants daughter. He sued
them. alleging that they had persuaded
his wife To leave him. Their answer Ia
the suit was that he had abused his wife
and she had come home TO her parents
by their consent, ANA that they should
keep her as long as she wished To remain
with them, because they had done no
more than, ls parents OF the young wo-
man, they had a right 70 do.
At the trial. which was before Judge
Emery. the jury returned a verdict for
the plaintiff and an exception was filed.
The decision from the law court is a
follows:
kenncbcc, IS. Oakman ~. Belden ct al.
Rescript. by Savage. j.
y parent may not with hostile, wicked
or malicious intent. break up the rcIa-
tiOnS between his dtuS liter and her huS-
band. He may not do this simply because
he is displeased with the marriage or be
cause II was against his WILL or because
he wishes the marriage relations To con
tinue no longer. Eut 4 parent may adj
wise his daughter in good faith and for
her good, to leave her husband. il. on
reasonable grounds, he believes that the
further continuance Of the marriage re-
lations tends 10 inIurc her health, or de-
StroY her peace OF mind, 80 that she
rent may, in such case, persuade his
daughter lie may use proper and rea-
sonahc arguments. Whether the motive
was proper Or improper is always to be
considered, whether the perSuasion of the
argument Is proper and reasonable, under
the conditions presented to the parents
mind. Is also always to be considered. 1t
may turn out that the parent acted upon
mistaken premises or upon false intor-
nation or his advice and his interference
may have been unfortunate, still. if he
acts in good faith for the daughters
good. upon reasonable grounds of belief,
lie is not liable to the husband.
In this action. Il husband seeks to re-
cover from his wifc's parents damages
for the alienation of her affections. 1t is
held by the court that an instruction to
the jury. in substance, that, III the sep
IrAtion of the plaintiff's wife from him
was the result of the active Interference
of the defendants, either by threats, per
suasion or arguments, then the defend
ants were liable" placed upon the de-
PENDANTS a much more Grievous burden
Of Justification than parents ought to be
to bear and was erroneous.
The court discovers no error in the
other rulings complained of.
Exceptions sustained. New trial
granted.

WON'T SELL NOW.
Mar Will Any Attempt at Redemption Of Wis
casset & Quebec New be Made

Hon. $. s. Brown, attorney for the
Waterville Trust Co. who was in this
city, yesterday. said that ii is not prob
able that any move will be made to
sell out the Wiscasset d Quebec Rail-
road for some little time.
1t will be recalled that about a year
ago the Trust Co, as trustee took pos
session of the road as the prepare tory
move in forcclosing on the bonds of the
road. as the railroad has not been
able to pay interest. During the pres
ent month the time expires by which
any move may be made to redeem the
road from the hands of the trustees
1t is not at all probable, those inter
eSted say, that any attempt at redemp-
ton will be made. When the year is
up the trustees will formally come in
to possession of the road.
When asked if it is probable that the
trustees will continue to operate a road
that is being run at a loss, Mr.. Brown
said he could not say.
In the subsequent conversation he
intmated that the road would be I'M
loaded eventually. When asked if the
Trust Co. would sell the road to some
.other corporation he would only say:
..That remains to be seen"
