Whether or not the wire cable in
question, in the condition described,
was a suitable and sufficient guy to
sustain the projecting stage in ques-
ton, weighted as it was at the time
of the accident, was one of the vital is
sues in the case upon the decision of
which the liability of the defendant
company depended.s 1t was purely a
question of fact to be determined by
!, the jury upon a consideration of all
the relevant circumstances and condi-
tions. The staging in question when
projected eighteen feet beyond the
permanent platform, and supported by
guys passing over the tops of vertical
imbers, illustrated some of the prin-
;iples of mechanical engineering in
5olved in both. the cantilever and the
suspension bridse: A mechanical en-
sineer or expert Bridge builder might
,e qualified to estimate the strain
which would be exerted upon the iron
ruys in question by a given weight at
he end of the projecting stage; one
having special experience in the APP
olication of tests to prove the tensile
strength of iron wire and iron cables,
md special observation respecting the
influence of time and use upon them,
might be qualifiedw to give the jury
valuable information respecting the
strength of the wire cable in question.
A carpenter and builder with special
experience in the construction of coal
stagings and platforms might be per-
mitted to give the jury his opinion as
to the proper method of constructing
certain parts of the woodwork of the
staging in question. But it would still
be a question: for the jury whether
upon all the testimony relating to that
particular structure the northern guy
was suitable and sufficient for the use
to which it was applied.
If it be assumed in this case that a
mechanical engineer skilled and expert
enced in regard to the construction of
all parts of the projecting stage, and
the strength of both wood and wire
under different conditions, would be
competent as a general expert to ans
wer the final question as to the suit
ability and sufficiency of the northern
guy, it is manifest that Charles o.
Grant was not such an expert, and
could not safely be permitted to de-
questions which it was the province of
the jury to determine. The presiding
judge did not feel authorized to recog-
nize him as an expert in regard to the
strength of wire cables and according

Funeral of Late Walter L. Frost.

The funeral of the late Walter l..
Frost was held at o'clock, Friday
afternoon, at the residence of his uncle.
Joseph Larrabee, "a Grove street, and
was largely attended. The services
were conducted by Rev. II. Il. Dun
mack, pastor of the Green street Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who spoke very
feelingly and paid tender tribute to
the memory of the departed. Young
Frost had, with his brother, Orrin.
made his home with his uncle for the
past eight years, and had endeared
himself to all those with whom he be-
came associated, iand it was with feel
ings of deepest sorrow that they gath
cred at his home TO say the last sad
good bye. The bearers were from each
class of Cony High school: Walter
Craig. '03; Nathan Weston, '04: Donald
Metcalf. '05; Donald Cornish, '06.
There was a profysion of beautiful

The partial payment in this case was
unquestionably made only as part of
the larger debt, accompanied as it was
by an oral promise to pay the balance
of it. Where a partial payment is
made on account of an existing irdebt-
edness. the whole debt upon which the
payment is made is thereby taken otit
of the statute of limitations UP to that
time. The identity of the debt sued on
with that upon which the payment was
made must of course be established
But if it is shown that the payment
was made to apply upon an indebted
ness consisting of many items, all of
them will thereby be saved from the
effect of the statute. The payment is
an acknowledgement of the existence OF
the indebtedness, and raises an implied
promise at that time to pay the bal
ance.
If promissory note had been given
for the amount of the debt then sub
sisting, no question could have been
raised that the intentional part pay
ment would have renewed the obligation
and removed the bar of the statute,
upon the authority of Sinnett " Sin
nett, s. Maine. But the substance of
the debt is the same, whether in the
form of an account or a promissory
note. The fact that the obligation to
pay is express in case of the latter and
only implied in case of the former, Is
immaterial. The effect of a partial
payment on account of a specific sum
due is the same in the one case as in
the other.
The decision in Perry " Ches1ey, II
Me. rests exclusively upon the doctrine
peculiar to mutual accounts or "mu-
tual dealings, between the parties, I'M
der the provision of section 81, chapter
81. The effect of a partial payment on
account of a larger debt, under section
100 OF chapter 81, was not considered
by the court in that case, and does not

May VS.. Bond, Ex'r. ct ais. Rescript
by Whitehouse, J.
Section II of Chapter II of the Re-
vised Statutes provides that when it
appears to the judge of probate hav-
ing jurisdiction, that any deceased per-
son had made a legal contract to con-
Vey real estate and was prevented by
death from so doing, and that the per-
son contracted with had performed or
is ready to perform the conditions re-
CURED of him by the terms thereof, he
may authorize the executor or adminis-
traitor to execute deeds to carry said
contract into effect"
1t has been held that this statute
relates only to legal contracts in force
at the death of the obligor, the per-
Torrance of which was by his death
prevented, and was not intended to
GUST this court of it's equitable iuris-
diction or to limit or restrict it's exer-
the statement of facts that the bond
had become forfeited for non-payment
of the notes when due, and it was held
.that the rights OF the parties arisir \
from the fact of payment indorsed
on note after such forfeiture could
only be determined by proceedings in
equity.
But in the case at bar the bond was
a legal contract in force at the death
of the obligor. 1t was recognized by
the representative of the estate as a
subsisting legal contract and the full
amount due thereon was paid by the
plaintiff and accepted by the executor.
before the filing of the petition above
described in the probate court. There
were no facts or conditions calling for
the exercise of the equity power of the
court to grant relief from forfeiture.
Any forfeiture arising from McMann's
failure to pay the first and second
notes at maturity was waived by the
obligor, and the bond continued in
force by the mutual agreement of the
parties made in Randall's lifetime and
evidenced by the new note for 500.
No reason has been suggested and
none is apparent why the probate
court did not have jurisdiction of the
case under these circumstances by vir-
tue of the statute above quoted.
AS the facts then presented them
selves, the case involved no special
equitable feature which would in itself
constitute a sufficient ground for
equitable jurisdiction. The plaintiff
elected his tribunal and invoked the
jurisdiction of the probate court. The
question now presented was fully heard
and determined after due notice to all
parties interested, and a decree entered
adverse to the petitioner. No appeal
was taken from that decision; and the
authorities are substantially uniform
in support of the familiar proposition
that the DEGREES of probate court
touching matters within it's jurisdic-
ton when not appealed from are con-
elusive upon all persons"
1t is therefore the opinion of the
court that the entry in this case must
be,

Stock, ct ais, VS.. Towie, ct ais. Re
script by Whitehouse,
1t is the opinion of the court that the
contention of the defendants must be
sustained. The plaintiffs were in
formed during the preliminary ne
gotiations for the flour that the de-
PENDANTS wanted it for immediate use
and must have understood that the
term transit car" was inserted in
the order, by the defendants, for the
purpose of insuring the delivery of the
flour at Bangor at the earliest prac-
ticable hour. The stipulation for a
transit car" was therefore a sub
stantial and important element in the
proposal. Time was of the essence of
the contract and a condition precedent
to the plaintiffs right and the de-
PENDANTS obligation.
The defendants letters should OBJ
viously be read and considered in con-
nection with all the other CORE
,spondence, and interpreted in the light
of the facts known to the defendants,
at that time, and of all the attending
circumstances. They ordered and ex-
pected a transit car loaded with flour,
knowing that in the ordinary course OF
transportation a maximum limit of ten
days only would be required to bring it
to Maine. They had the plaintiffs as
surance that the first carload to ar
rive would be delivered to them. They
knew that thirteen days had elapsed,
and their reasonable conclusion was
that if transit car had arrived, the
flour had been delivered to some other
customer. Construed in the light of
these facts and circumstances, the two
letters read together may fairly be
understood to signify that the de-
PENDANTS cancelled the order because
they believed that the plaintiffs had
not given them the first transit car
that arrived. The letters do not sup
port the plaintiffs contention in re-
gard to a waiver.
To entitle the plaintiffs to recover, it
was incumbent upon them to show a.
full performance on their part of all
the terms of the contract. A tender of
a CARLOAD of flour not in transit at
the date of the contract, but shipped
