WHEELS OF JUSTICE STOP.
Why Several Augusta Attorneys Had
Nothing to Dc.

The joke is apparently on Hon.
Joseph B. Peaks Of Dover, chairman Of
the board of State railroad commits
sioners. Mr.. Peaks went to Portland,
Tuesday, armed and equipped rs the
law directs for the purpose of argu
ing before the Law Court the case of
the Dover Il FoXCroft Water Company
against the town or vice versa, which
ever way it happens to turn out. He
had with him when he left home Il
large grip filed with the documents in
the case as well as with his own per
son;I belongings.
When he left the train he took i
grip with him which seemed at the
time to be the same one he had before,
but which upon being opened proved
to be filed with some kind Of articles
with the use of which Col Peaks had
little knowledge. There was great en-
citement for q few minutes, but by
using 4 little of the authority vested in
him as q railroad commissioner he soon
had a through wire to Boston and was
on track Of the train that was carrying
his grip off.
The railroad Pee ol,, fo"E' il for him
and promised to send it back on train
5. arriving ut $50 Tuesday evening, so
that the case could 80 on the next
morning.
That explains why Col. Peaks, Hon.
Drvillc Dewey BAKER and Hon Herbert
VI. Heath were to be seen strolllnS
about the streets shat day. They had
nothing else to do in the absence Of the
documents in tie case.

Previous to the ins tallation, the mat
ter of holding Il fair, the coming fall,
was fully discussed, and it was voted
TO have a three days fair, the exact
date to be announced later. Commit
tees were appointed to perfect the ar
ranSements for the same, and from the
enthusiasm that was manifested, it is
safe to say that the fair will be the
equal of any similar event ever held
in this city.
After adjournment, the officers and
members repaired to the newly fitted
banquet hall, where refreshments were
served, and ways and means of max
ing the proposed fair a success were
informally discussed until i late hour.

IN GREAT DEMAND.
Rich New Workers. Pay High Prices fer
Maine Horses.

1T is hard TO buy good horses III
Maine nowadays" says a man who
knows good horselesh when he sees it.
THE reason is" he continued, that
the New York buyers are all over the
state and they pick up the best that
the market affords. l was through the
State last week trying to buy horse
myself and | ran across four of those
New York fellows. | saw one of them
who bought a pair of carriage horses
in Waterville and ne gave $1,000 for
ther.. Money is no object with the
New FORK buyer if he sees what he
wants. The buyer is a man who ur-
Gerstands the morse, and he comes to
Mairc either to purchase horses to fill
,rder; already given by wealthy people
in New York; or for the big horse deal
erS in that city who always have
nur,l'"r of fne animals on hand. These
New York men are not as rule look
ing for trotters; they want coach ani
carriage horses. They buy mostly ami
mails between five and eight years OF
age, but age does not cut much figure
when they find horse which is sound
and of the right build and color. Such
a horse will sell even il he IS 10 or j
wears old The demand from these
New York men is so great that it IS
pretty hard to find good horses now.
They are snapped up as soon as dis
covered"
This little conversation naturally re-
calls the fact that when fired Gwynne
Vanderbilt decided to occupy some of
his leisure driving coach and for that
PURPOSE wanted Il stable of So horses,
ne came to Maine for some of them
The Maine man who thinks th3t all the
good horses come from Kentucky
would br surprised if he could know
how many of the equine arlstoCratS
which draw the carriages of the ncil
through Fifth avenue first saw the
light of day on Maine farms. In fact,
While it has not been as widely ad-
vertised in the newspapers rs some
other horse raising regions. the Ken
nobec valley is known among morse
b,lyers as one of the best places III the
country to go in search pl Sood'
healthy carriage and coach horses. Inc
growth of the coaching fever among
the gildcd youth of the metropolis, by
the way, has added largely to tn"
duties Of the horse buyer, for gooI

There was a notion same years ago
that the bicycle had sounded The dealf

horse from the field, and This may be
true in the business world, hut the man
