LAW COURT DECISIONS.

The law court Tuesday handed down
Of Frank c. Perkins, administrator. vs..
the oxford Paper Co., setting aside the
verdict and ordering a new trial on the
motion Of the defendant corporation.
This was personal damage action for
the death of the inteState, caused by
injuries received by him while in the
employment of the defendant corpora
ton.
a verdict was rendered for the plain
tiff and the case was argued at the De-
ceElber term of the law court at Au-
gusta. The rescript drawn by Associate
Justice Cornish holds that the cause
of the accident was the inteStates act
in attempting to pass beneath the
swiftly moving belt at such Il point
that he was hit by the Jackson hooks.
There was no necessity justifying his
conduct in passing beneath the belt at
that point Hence he was guilty of
such contributory negligence as to pre-
clude recovery.
a reScript has been handed down by
the law court in the case of the Phil
lips Village Corporation VS.. the Phil
lips Water Co. In this case the plain
till had begun proceedings to purchase
the defendant company's plant. The
court rules that these proceedings were
not properly instituted. that the plain
tiff company must first vote to pur-
chase the water works before apprais-
ers are named and condemnation pro-
ceedings begun.

Lewiston Authorities Looking for ReIa-
tives of Myron, DoIoff.

| Lewiston, Me, March 17.-(SpeciaD
The authorities here are trying to
locate relatives of Myron Doloff. a
shoemaker, who died suddenly last
| night Relatives are said to live in
Brockton. Mass. and in Los Angeles,
Calf, but their identity is unknown
and unless they make themselves known
the authorities will be unable to COM
municate with them. Doloff was al
ways very reticent about his family af-
fairs and but little is known of him,
except that he was a shoemaker and
popular among large circle of asso-
ciates.
Doloff, who was about so years old.
was formerly employed in Johnson
Bros. shoe factory at Hallowell He
came to Auburn about two years ago
and until last fall worked in an Au-
burn factory. He then returned to
Hallowell and went to work for his
former employers. He later came to
Lewiston and underwent an operation
at the Sisters hospital for an abscess
i'm his ear. He was discharged short
time ago and had planned to return to
Hallowell Monday night and resume
his duties in the Johnson shoe factory
He was walking out with a friend
and suddenly complained of feeling ILL.,
His friend took him home and doctor
was summoned. but in a short time the
man died His death is attributed to
heart failure. Although Doloff was al
ways reticent about his relatives it Is
understood that he had a number
among them being a Professor Whea-
ton of Massachusetts, an inventor,
whose residence is not known; a sister
living in Brockton and wealthy
brother in Los Angeles, Cal.
There was nothing among the effects
of the dead man to establish his iden-
tity He carried gold watch and had
about $25 in money about his person.
He was a member of the ShoemakerS
Union. The remains will not be in
tered al once, but will be held by the
authorities pending the outcome of an
effort to learn who are the mans rela-
tiVeS.

The American Language.

The theory of an American language
as distinguished from plain English
evidently Will not down. We have seen
it set forth rather vairgloriously by
some of our fellow-countrymen, and
rather contemptuously by British crit
les. The latest of these is Charles
whitley, who writes in Blackwood's
on "The American Language" an arti-
Gle which deserves attention because
it goes so far beyond the hackneyed
Illustrations of transatlantic differences
of speech. Mr. Whigley has grasped
the fact that many of the so-called
"Americanisms" quoted by foreigners
sound utterly strange to Americans
from other than the section Of their
origin. He absolves our literary men
from most of the rhetorical sins which
he attributes to the unlearned. IF you
contrast the English literature of today
with the American" he admits, "you
