MATTER OF 50 CENTS.
SoH:e Legal Complications on Port
lands Water Front.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 19.-As result
of complications arising from Il dispute
over the payment of 50 cents which in
yolVed proceedings that were lead to
suit, and other things, some of the bus
ines; men of the water front section of
the city are having considerable fun.
The story as told originated with an Or
der for the painting and hanging of Il
sign for Perry. the junk dealer, on
Portland pier, by Il painter named Pc
ter Miller, about two months ago. Per-
ry claimed that the agreement was
that the bill should be paid when the
sign Was hung in place. 1t seems that
part payments were made. leaving Il
, If. y. % 1t.; ne. Perry b1conl-
ing tired nf waiting fn- Miller TO hang
the sign, Hiit IL man TO finiSA the
hanging part of the job. Then when
Miller went to collect the remainder of
the bill, Perry refused to settle as the
agreement was not fulfilled by Miller.
Hot words cnsued, it is said. between
the two and Miller became determined
to enforce the payment of the 50 cents
ii! question, and put the matter in the
hands OF an attorney to bring suit and
pi1rc a keeper in the place of business
unit! Perry paid up.
Til" attorney proceeded and secured
the services of a constable. had the
necessary papers served and for Il
Keeper Thomas Gallagher, who has
lltCiy won great fame as a weather
prophet, WIS placed on duty upon the
recommendation of Miller.
" hen tho
oughly looked into by the attorney,
hc threw up the case which rcSullcd
in putting a stop to further proceed
inSS in the matter.
III the Intervening time Gallagher
had been on duty as keeper for about
u hours and received 20 compensation
for his services. Gallagher called upon
the attorney in the case for payment
and was Informed that he must look
to the constable who placed him in
charge of the store at the time.
Gallagher was in turn referred by
the constable to Miller, with a state.-
ment to the effect that it was Miller
who was the party to pay all the bills
in the case. To Miller went Gallagher
and WAS informed by Miller that ne
had nothing whatever to do with the
hiring of the services of a keeper in
the case and all he did was to recom-
mend that Gallagher be selected rs the
Keeper. and would not pay any bills for
services of a keeper.
This resulted in arousing the ire of
GallaSher and he determined not to
lei it 80 at that. He in turn gave his
case to another attorney who brought
suit against Miller for 81. and the costs
in the case for the "a hours of service
OF Gallagher as keeper
As the matter now stands the case
may be settled out of court: but it may
terminate with the loss of life, judging
by some Of the expressions of senti-
ment by Mr.. Gallagher when telling of
the way the case stands now" but
YOU can "bet your life that he will get
something out of it,
There is considerable interest taken
in the case by many who are assist
ing greatly in efforts to effect set
tlement of the matter with a number
of suggestions, good, bad and other
Wise.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN LAW.
signer of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendance Arrested for Travel
Ing ON sunday.

While digging over court records oi
the eighteenth century in the Pownal-
boro courthouse, which is still one OF
the ancient landmarks of Dresden, Lin
coin county, says Badger (Me) report
in the New York Tribune, Charles E. Al
len found the interesting story of how
signer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence was arrested in Maine for break
ing the Sabbath.
Robert Treat Paine was an eminent
barrster in Boston, noted for the many
prominent positions which he had
held Among his acts Of a public char
acter the best known is the fact that he
was one Of the signers Of the Declaration
ot Independence. Later he was one Of
the judges OF the supreme Judicial court
OF Massachusetts which state, of
course, then included Maine. While a
judge Of the court he drafted stringent
bill prohibiting travel on the Sabbath,
which bill was made a law Of the COM
monwealth early in the year 1892.
II 30 happened that few months aft
erward Mr. Paine, with Increase sum
ner, held court in Portland, adjourning
on Saturday Being anxious to open
court In Pownalboro early on Tuesday,
the judge, with the other court officials,
set out on Sunday, driving with. their
teams to Bath, whence they were to
proceed up the Kennebec by boat. Of
course, there were no railroads, and
only q few stages. AS the line of car
riages approached Freeport the people
were much scandalized, thinking that
court officials should be answerable to
laws which were passed for the rest
cf the people, and the wardens prompt
ly arrested the whole party for violat-
ing The law They were indicted and
held for trial.
Matters were still more complicated
by the fact that the attorney general Of
the commonwealth, James Sullivan. |
whose duty It was to prosecute offend
ers. was one OF the arrested party, and |
they were not wholly relieved from the I
possibility Of prosecution until the
Massachusetts legislature came to their
assistance and ordered the proceedings
stayed. In their petition to the general
.ouft June 30, 1892. which petition is
eng, they claimed. among other things.
thai under the law they were exempt
rom arrest, because the law provided
hat one might travel on Sunday if ne
'esslty compelled. and il was absolutely
necessary that they should travel or
iGnday in order to meet their engage
nent at Pownalboro on Tuesday.

On n Bet OF $500 Clergyman Drew

In 1872 an action was brought BY Rev
Robert Gilbert against Sir Mark Sykes.
and u arose IRON bet made between
the parties upon the life of Napoleon
Bonaparte, relates Longman's s Magazine.
Sir Mark, 10 years before the action.
had invited some friends to dinner. the
reverend gentleman being one Of the
number The bottls having passed round
ire ~ politics became the subject OF
conversation. and the opinion was free
" expressed by some OF the party that
Napoleon was In a critical situation at
that time and that attempts would be
made 10 assassinate him.
iais view was held By the host who
said that he considered Bonaparte's life
in such danger that If anyone would
give him 100 guineas he would pay him
q guinea a day during Napoleon's life

Then for five or six years the guinea

irE- 10 doubt. that if Bonapart was moi
dead he ought to be. and Gilbert (who

worth some $4,000 a year, brought this
action against Sir Mark TO enforce the
wager and sought TO recover from him

The plaintiffs counsel contendsd that
although it might be objected that wae-
ars on the life of men were immoral. yet
the laws Of England supported such
wagers.
The judge did not seem To have laio
much stress upon the question whether
this wager tended TO imperil the safety
lf the state. He asked the jury to con
slider whether the bet had been seriously
made: and, If II were a serious bet
whether in all the circumstances. the
plaintiff had not been paid enough
