Memorial Sunday Services.
THE SERMON BY REV. j. Il. LITTLE.

The sermon before the G.. A. r. and
Relief Corps Sunday afternoon was de-
livered by Rev. j. II. Little. Rev. Mr..
Pottle read the Scripture, Rev. DR..
Brooks offered prayer, and Rev. Mr..
Pinkham pronounced the benediction.
The text was from Tim. 6:l2: Fight
the good fight of faith. Lay hold on
eternal life"
The speaker, after abiding to the
memorial service as being unlike any
other service because of its connection
with a great event in the history of our
nation, and the close and peculiar ties
existing between Grand Army men and
all those who were in the service, went
on to speak of the great struggle as
battle for principle, and of result the
nation took a higher stand in all true
life.
All life is battle against the evils
that surround us. We can not escape
the responsibility of taking some part
in these battles.
The soldier returned from war to civil
life, to fight other battles which have
helped the republic to take its stand
with the great nations of the world.
The best life comes through these bat
ties for higher principles which bring
men into that eternal life of which the
Apostle speaks. The appeal of the text
is an appeal to every soul TO enter into
uobler battles for truth and virtue ano
righteousness. We must fight Tor gooo
until all evil is overcome.
After the battles are fought, then the
shirt of peace and good will should pre-
vail. between those who in the battles
were foes, but after the battle rejoice 10
Cether over the greater good orouSh'
about by the battle for the higher inter
est of all. -
The sermon was listened to by large
audience, filling the hall to the door.
The decorations of the hall consisted o
flags and national colors so arranged as u
give a beautiful, pleasing effect, and the
| Committee having the matter in charg
are deserving of great credit Tor thei
labor.

Heavy Verdict Sustained.
CASE OF HERBERT 7. GLOVER AGAINST
PORTLAND AND RUMFoRD FALLS.

A rescript has been received from
Judge Spear in the case of Herbert T..
Glover of Hebron against the Portland
and Rumford Falls Railway, which was
taken to the law court on motion for a
new trial on the grounds that the verdict
was manifestly against the evidence and
that it was clearly excessive. In this
opinion Judge Spear overruled the
motion and therefore the verdict of
S7,319. Is stands.
This was an action to recover damages
for personal injuries alleged to have been
received through the negligence of the
defendant company.
In brief the facts of the case were that
Glover went 10 the West Minot station
to remove sections of boiler from box
car weighing from 800 to 800 pounds
each. This car was on siding and
while the men were at work in it an en-
zine backed down the track and drove
another car into the one on which the
men were working with the result that
one of the boiler sections fell on Glover's
leg.
After reciting the facts of the case the
court holds as follows:
'sThe verdict, S7,3I9.l6, was very
large one The assessment of damages
was solely in the province OF the jury.
The court has no power to reduce the
amount of damages. They can only
order remittur or grant new trial, at
the option of the plaintiff. The undis-
puted evidence in the case shows that
the defendant previous to the injury was
able to earn 5000 year, that for about
eleven months after the injury, he was
under constant medical and surgical
treatment, suffering intensely, both men.
tally and physically, and at the end OF
that period was compelled to submit to
the amputation of his leg to preserve his
life. He actually paid out, in expenses
in consequence of the injury, over $500,
and absolutely lost 16 months of time
Adding to this computed loss, the in
computable element of damages for sui,
fering and the impairment of his future
earning capacity and ability to labor, we
cannot say that the verdict is so clearly
excessive as to require the court to SCI
it aside"
"Motion overruled."
