FRED w. LEE, Stenographe-.
Augusta, April Is.
An unique and novel case the first
of it's kind in the history of civil juris-
prudence in this State. was tried in the
Kennebec county superior court, Tues
day. 1t was an action in assumpsit
brought by Mary E. Nolan, a half
owner with Mrs. Emma ]. White of
Boston, against John F. Mcnamara,
both of Gardiner, to recover a balance
of S155 due for the rent Of a building
on Water street in the city of Gardi-
ner at the rate of $50 per month.
The plaintiff attempts to recover the
rent of two months, which the defend
ant claims the plaintiff agreed not to
charge for on account of the stringent
enforcement of the prohbitory law,
and because the defendant failed to
give the required 80 days notice in
writing that he was to quit the prem
Uses.
The defence claimed that all due had
been paid and that the tenancy was
terminated by mutual agreement, and
further that the premises We're let and
used for an illegal purpose, namely, for
the sale of intoxicating liquors. The
defendant also claimed that he was
promised exemption to pay rent for two
months when the law was being en-
forced.
on the question of the claim not be-
ing colIectable in reason of the plain
tiff's knowledge that the place was run
as common nuisance, His Honor,
Judge Hall, said: If Miss Nolan had
knowledge that the premises were used
for the illegal sale of intoxicating
liquors, and after such knowledge al
lowed the tenant to continue in the
premises still with her knowledge
carrying on therein such illegal sale OF
liquors, and made no effort to take
possession of the premises and termi-
nate the tenancy, the jury will be JUS

pay $50. JOE.
The smallest tax is assessed agains
the Fryeburg Horse railroad. Las
year this road was taxed the sum Of
81: this year the amount is 10 cents
less, 80 cents in all.
AS stated by the Journal a short
time ago the assessors have imposed ar
increased tax upon the Canadian Pa
cific Railway. Heretofore the compan,
has been paying tax based upon the
business done wholly in Maine This
wear. however, the tax against this road
is assessed in the same manner as are
the taxes assessed against all the other
roads. The company must pay s15,-
O42C2. as against $5,136.57 in 1901. The
payment of this amount may be with
held by the company, and the State
may be obliged to bring suit to re-
cover the same. as there is a difference
of opinion as to the authority of the
assessors in the matter.
The assessors took the gross income
Of the company's railroad system,
within and without the State, for the
purpose of getting the average income
per mile, so as to determine the amount
of tax the company should pay for the
business done in Maine The COM
pany objected and argued that the
steamship lines which it owns and
operates should be included in order to
obtain Il proper basis for taxation pur-
poses. The railroads alone have
mileage of 7,563.30 miles, and an annual
income of $2z,925, 229.3S, an average in
come of $3,692.20 per mile. The rail-
roads and the steamships together
have a mileage of 14,673.30 and gross
receipts of $30,307,990.54, an average
income of $2,065.51 per mile. The COM
pany operates 232.S0 miles in Maine.
The bone of contention between the
assessors and the company is whether
the Maine business shall be figured at
$3.692.20 per mile or $2.0G5.51 per mile.
The difference in the two methods is
$10,233.52.
The accompanying table gives the ex-
else tax assessed against all the steam
and street railroads in the State for the
years 1901 and 1902 and the sums as
sessed for the salaries and expenses of
the Railroad Commissioners for the
same periods:

According to Law,

The members of the board of State
assessors were in session at tbei,
rooms at the Capitol, yesterday. End
committed the annual excise tax on the
steam and street railways of the State
The total tax amounts to 1886. sol 90
and the amount assessed in addition
thereto for the purpose of paving the
salaries and expenses of the railroad
commissioners is $11,5OO. These two
items make a total of s34S,3O1.63.
Last year the excise tax amounted to
1901 0g3.91. Thus it will he seen that
the increase for the year aggregates
s35, l01.12 in taxes; and $500 is added to
the amount raised last year, to pay the
commissioners for their services.
This gain is almost wholly the result
of an increased income of the railroads
of the State during the year ending
June 80, 1901.
Ninety-five per cent of the taxes
assessed upon the Bangor and Aroos-
took and the Washington County rail-
roads, under special acts of the legisla-
ture are rebated. In 1901 the rebate
allowed the Bangor and Aroostook
amounted to $16,SO9.36 and the Wash
ington County was allowed a rebate of
sl,563.96. making a total rebate for the
two roads of $1S,373.32. This year the
rebate given the Bangor and Aroostook
will amount to S23,1S2.SS and the
Washington County will receive ST.

The Maine Centrars tax, which is
the biggest of all, is increased from

BEEF PRICES HIGHER.
The Local Retail Market Feels the Ef-

Up goes the price of beef in the local
market. The wholesale price went up all
over the country, "a week or two ago and
the retail price quickly followed it in all
the large centers. Though the dealers
here quickly felt the increase. they have
refrained from raising the retail price to
the local consumers until now they feel
forced to. Beginning this morning, near
ly all the various kinds of meat will cost
the consumer two to FIVE cents pound
more than hitherto. In few of the
cheaper kinds no increase is made. In

Laws Passed by Legislatures in the
Days Of Old.
Governor Hill and Staff to Attend Ban
gor Wedding Today.

The carly legislators of Maine seemed
TO have an idea that the people of the
State needed to be carefully watched
alse they'd do wantonly wicked things.
This impression is borne out by the
fact that laws were passed by the legis-
lature at different times protecting the
people from being imposed upon by
unscrupulous dealers in hay, hops,
beef and pork.
1t was provided by legislative en-
actmcnt in 1882 that all beef packed in
barrels and half barrels for eXporta-
ton should be branded Prime Beef
and Cargo Beef" according to quail
ity; and all pork packed for exporta-
ton shall be classified in the sam"
manner The Inspector General OF
Pork and Beef and his deputies were
placed under oath to see that the pro-
visions of the law We're faithfully car
ried ont.
a law establishing county inspectors
Of hops was adopted by the Legislature
of 1896. Penalties We're provided for
failure on the part of such inspectors
to comply with the rules and regula-
lions governing the packing. branding
and selling hops raised in the State be-
fore being exported elsewhere.
An act to prevent fraud in the press
ing 81 hay was passed by the lcgisla-
tur" Of 1888 and was as follows:
Section /. Be it enacted by the
Senate and House of representatives in
legislature assembled, That all hay
which shall be pressed or put up in
bundles for sale within this State after
tn first day of August next. shall be
branded upon the bands or boards en-
closing the same, with the first letter
of the Christian name and the whole of
tn" surname of the person packing and
scrcWing, or otherwise pressing said
hay, or causing the same to be done,
and with the name of the town, city or
plantation where said hay shall be
pressed, or where the person packing or
screWing said hay shall live, and with
the name of the State.
Sect. =. BE it further enacted, That
all pressed hay which shall be offered
for sale or for shipping, without being
branded as aforesaid, shall be for
feited. one-half to the person or per-
sons prosecuting therefor and the other
half to the use of the city, town or
offered for sale or for shipping.
SECT. 8. Be it further enacted,
That any master or commander of any
vessel which shall take on board
pressed hay not branded as aforesaid,
shall forfeit and pay the sum of two
dollars for each and every bundle
of hay 50 received: one- half to the use
Of the person or persons prosecuting
therefor. and one-half to the use of
the city, town or plantation where said
hay shall be received on board.
Sect 4. BE it further enacted, That
every bale of hay pressed or screwed
as aforesaid, may bear well seasoned
boards upon them, not exceeding four
in number and said boards shall not
exceed four inches in width, nor one
inch in thickness; upon one of which or
upon one Of the boards shall be legibly
marked the weight of the bale to which
they are attached

AZ an offset to the above, apparently,
the following concerning laws passed
long ago is given:
The legislature CT 1896 placed
bounty on the culture of silk within
the State. Five cents was to be pald
for every pound OF cocoons raised ana
80 cents for every pound of silk reeled.
These bounties were to be paid by the
treasurer of the town or plantation
where the cocoons were raised OF
where the silk was rceled.
The legislature of 1899 enacted a law
encouragin the rearing of oxen in the
state of Maine by exempting the same
from attachment and execution. The
act provided that any person VINO
shall hereafter raise from his or hei
own COW or COWS, or who shall pur-
chase. and pay, for one pair of bull OF
steer calves. under one year old, shal
| hold the same exempt from attach
