ct the time members Of the police CON-
mission, the notice was sufficient. While
this rule might Gauss the city TO pay a
salary twics, be said the city might have
refused 20 pay the salary 10 anyone till
the legality Of this claim was determined; !;
but II the city had seen ft to 60 ahead
and pay The saiary,it had done 50 at its
peril.
In regard TO the dsfendant's claim
that Cote had abandoned the Office Of
city marshal. the court ruled that ahan-
donment must imply either refusal or
neglect TO perform the duties OF the
oiiics. There is In the case no evidence
Of n direct refusal IN the part of Cote
to perform the duties OF his office; and
he couldn't be considered as having
neglected that which he was not permit
ted to do. The evidence shows that he
was not recognized as marshal after
his alleged removal, and that he would
not have been permitted TO perform the
duties pertaining to that office.
Solicitor Hovey suggested that the de-
fendant claims that thereswas no notice
served during the period covered by this
writ, whereupon Judge Powers replied
that 1t was not necessary that there
should have been notice served In the
distinct period coversd In the writ; II
notice had been once properly given, that
was sufficient.
The jury retired at 80. In 20 min.
utes there was knock ON ths door OF the
jury room, and the members filed In,
to allow their foreman 20 ask II notice
served on third member Of the police
toard would be as binding ss II served
on the chairman. Precisely the same
was the courts response. and the jurors
went back to their room.
At 80 they were again heard from.
This time they wanted some more in
struction on ths question of what con-
stitutss an abandonment Of offioe. Judge
Powers repeated, in substance, his former
instruction on that point, and back the
jury went.
len minutes latsr Trey returned and re-
ported a disagreement. The foreman
started to exolain that they couldn't
agree on the question OF whether the
plaintiff had abandoned his office. Judge
Powers dismissed them after expressing
his regret that body OF intelligent men
had been unable to agree on = simple
question OF facts that had been so plainly
stated.
Counsel for the plaintiff win take action
with view to again tryin g the suit at
the earliest opportunity.

Now Liquor Law Is To BE Enforced
In Androsaoggin city.
Lewiston, January 10. The mayor and
board Of aldermen have met and declared
among themselves that liquor dealers In
Lewiston are too ambitious, and that
their ambitions must be ourbed. This
sentiment they have transmitted to the
aitv narsnai s~ssh sasts- s-ests.. sshIel. e-s
plain. On Wednesday evening the Mayo
and board OF aldermen met behind closed
doors. And they also had with them a
copy of the pstition which was presented
to tns board some time ago, asking that
the prohibitory law be enforced. Every
member present was asked to express
sons opinion upon the matter, and every
member did so.
10 a reporter Mayor Furbush said
that the nesting very thoroughly dis
cussed the liquor question, and
the aldermen were of the
unanimous opinion that altogether
too much liquor was being sold right here
In the city.
"And what do you propose to do ABOUT
itP'' inquired the reporter
I'VE propose to bring about at once a
strict enforcement OF the law"
replied the mayor. "That is what the
petition asks for, is IL not''
''Does this amount to an attempt to
put an end entirely to the business in the
cityi' Mayor Furbush said that ths
board would do all it can TO further the
wishes of the petitioners. Something
would be done, and ne intimated thai
that "something" might bring about a
sort Of upsldedown movement. The pso-
pie have asked us to enforce the law
We have decided so. "City Marshal

Mayor Furbush, land was given his
orders. What the outcome OF 1t will be

zen.
About 80 o'clock two lodgers in An
derson's house heard screams followed
by several shots and rushed into mis-
apartments On opening door they
saw the apparently lifeless body OF the
elder Mrs. Anderson living on the floor.
There was wound In the breast from
which the blood was flowing. Near her
lay the three year old boy, bearing a
wound in the abdomen. Beyond the fold
ing doors which opened between the
apartment first entered and the adjoin
ing one, on bed, was the body OF Mrs
Anderson, the younger and by her side
lay the body of her husband.
Policemen and doctors were soon on
the tpot. Their examination showed
that Anderson and his wife only were
dead and that tine lad and his grandmoth-
er were unconscious. The bullet which
had entered the ohiid's abdomen, had
passed completely through the body and
that which caused the wound to the
grandmother had not penetrated so far.
Mrs. Anderson, the wife OF the man.
had three wounds in her breast and the
shot which had killed Anderson entered
the body just over the heart. The oorpses
OF Anderson and his wife were cared for
and the two unconscious victims were
taken TO a hospital.
After an examination 1t was decided
that there was no hops for the recovery
OF eitheg.
On the floor bssids the bad on which
Anderson and his wife lay, the police
found a sS calIbre revolver. Its five
chambers contained empty shells and
on the floors other empty shells were
found. In the pockets OF the mans
elotning cartridges corresponding In
calibre and make to those In the revolver
were discovered. The evidence led the
police to the conclusion that the man
must have tired seven shots, one of
which took no effect.
A brother OF Anderson's attributes the
dead mans mental condition to the fact
that he had been brooding over come
business troubles.

A SUMNER PARADISE.

Very few people in this city are aware
that around the reservoir exists a sort 1
summer paradise. Through the zeal and
efforts Of George M. Scribne- the once I'M.
interesting tract on the southerly side OF the
reservoir has been converted into delight
full park. Nature has been improved rather
than supplanted. Walks have been laid
out over lodges, through groves and pas
ture land. Gardens of vegetables, inter-
spsrsed with beds Of flowers, q 9 scattered
over several acres. It. has been Mr.. Scrib-
ner's hobby to Guido all others in raising
plants and flowers. He has had flowers in
full bloom which usually are seen only
toward the last Of the summer season. The
gardens ar laid out into beds Of all forms,
filed with plants in full flower. To sc-
complish this Mr.. Scribner has trsnsplanted
plants in large degree from his hot house
in this city. Some idea Of the work entail
ed can be gained from the circumstance
that day after day large quantity OF water
has to be carried over this tract in order to
advance the growth Of the plants.
f. The approach to this park via Benjamin
lis Is extremely picturesque and exhibits
he handiwork OF Mr.. Scribner. The patio
skirts along the edge OF the chssm from the
reservoir down, and in many places is hewn
out Of the ledge with OCCASIONAL steps cut
for the convenience of the traveller. Mr..
Scribner has done this work at his own ex-
| pense, and simply for the love OF 1t.
Upon reaching the summit, near the re-
servoir, scenery seldom equslled for its
beauty greets the entire line OF vision. The
writer is as familiar with the White Noun
tains ss with the streets of Montpelier, but
on visit to Mr.. Scribner's park on Tues
| day afternoon be was surprised beyond de
gree to find that within so short distance
from the city there exists view poin
from which so much OF beauty and interest
was unfllded to the sight,even rivalling the
attractions among the White Mountains oil
elsewhere among the Green Hills.

MONTPELIER AND BERLIN.

At the last session OF the Legislature an
act was passed to pay back to the town OF
Berlin State school and highway taxes over
paid by the town in 1899, and to reim-
burse the State for such payment from the
city OF Montpelier on The ground that the
city, having assumed part OF Berlin, had
not paid its full proportion OF such taxes.
The State treasurer was authorized to re-
tain for this purpose 1921 81 from the pro-
portion OF five per cent State highway tax
due the city in 1901 and the same amount
from the citys reapportionment OF the State
school tax, this money to be paid by the
S ate treasurer to the town of Berlin on or
before October 1, 1902
This special act deprives the city OF its
entire spportionment OF he State highway
and the best part OF the State school tax
this year.
Il is believed that the Legislature erred
in its manner OF procedure in this NJ alter,
and that thi. spscal act will not hold wat
er as against the general law governing the
distribution Of these taxes and that the
ate treasurer can be compelled TO pay
these taxes 10 the city,
Taking this view OF thu case, the city
conucil has requested the city attorney TO
prepare a written opinion on the legal sta
ius OF the case and as TO the city's chances
in recovering these moneys from the State
treasurer.

FIFTY-YEAR ROOFS.
How 1t Is Possible to Have House
Covering That VIII Last
Half a lCentury.

The best roof that can be put on house
is one made OF terne plate, commonly
called by roofers and dealers "roofing tin"
It is best because it is light; does not bur-
den the structure with great weight. It Is
best because it is sdap able to any position
or condition. 1t is best because It is fire
proof and weather proof. It is best be-
cause 1t lasts life time, when properly
made and properly applied.
The history of NJ f Roofing Tin is fully
set out in a very handsome booklet, ''Un-
der an NJ + Roof" which sl-o contains di-
rectons for laying roof and for making
estimates of the quantity of tin required for
any size roof A copy of this useful book
may be had free from W. G. Crouemeyer
agent of the American Tin Plate Company,
