INJUNcTIONS SERVED
On Owners of Biddeford Buildings
Containing Alleged Saloons.

Biddeford, Me, May lathe great
est sensation in liquor circles in York
county In recent years was sprung
Wednesday afternoon when Sheriff
George o. Athorne of Eliot served i'll
functions on John r. Maxwell and Mrs
Patrick Mahaney, joint owners of a
building in which it is alleged the
saloon at IS Water street is located;
on Mrs. Susan Bryant OF Saco, owner
of the building at and Bacon street
where George Belouin has been doing
business, and upon Fred +. Eeaure-
gard, a prominent business man and
owner of the building which includes
the saloon at 62 Elm street.
These are temporary injunctiOns and
the parties they We're served upon are
commanded to appear before the su-
preme court at Alfred. May Il, and
show cause why the injunCtiOns should
not be made permanent.
Sheriff Athorne arrived in town
from Alfred on the noon train and
took hack to the houses of the par
ties on whom he served the injunc-
tions. While the saloon keepers and
others engaged in the business were
much alarmed by the serving of writs
by the deputy sheriffs after the grand
jury reported few days ago, the
move has caused a tremendous sensa-
ton. and it is believed that with the
prosecution of landlords the prohibi-
tory law will he more generally en-
forced thar at any previous time
since the law has been in existence.
~nstVy in, CO.
looms are alleged to be located, were
never before molested in this city. and
they were thunderstruCk Sheriff
Athornc said that these three injunc-
tinns are only starter, and others
would be served from day to day until
all the owners or buildings rented be
summoned before the supreme court.
The officer insinuated that as long as
he continued in office it would be dan
gerous for persons to engage IN the
liquor business in this city.
These injunction proceedings have
been threatened by officers in the past.
but were never before executed. 1t is
understood that the action Of Judge
Savage, in the case of the landlord ut
Rumford Falls for renting his prop
erty for illegal purposes in defiance of
an injunction that had been secured
against him, inspired this move. This
respondent was sent to Jail for IS
days.
Under Judge savage's ruling it is no
defence for landlord to claim that
he is not aware of the nature of the
business being carried on by the ten
ant. After he has been enjoined 1t is
the owners business to see that the
command 0f the Injunction is obeyed.

sons, but these communications most
~ are Valueless because of the absence
of information as to malfOrnIations,
dental work or other marks which
might give clue to the identity of
the crumbling skeletons which are
listed as totally unknown. Most of
these remnants of humanity have Ions
been underground, circumstance
Which has not been taken into account
by a majority of the volunteer CORE
sponderts OF Sheriff Shutter Coroner
Mack and the other officials interested.
Wednesdays developments did little
to elucidate the unSolved problems
arising from the corpse-sown farm.
The letter from Cleveland concerning
the attempts of an accomplice of Mrs.
Guinness to draw another victim into
her net. served to strengthen the idea
that the woman was the center of a
system for numbering and fleeing
those persons who followed the trails
of bait which led to the barnyard
cemetery on the place. Outside of this
there was nothing of great import
ance.
The attorneys for the defence are
said to be looking for David Havens,
who. it is reported, aided in uncover
ing the bodies of the persons whom
Lamphere is accused of numbering.
According to reports they assert that
Havens was declared All undesirable
citizen by Sheriff Shutter and ordered
away from La Porte shortly after the
fire. The attorneys also claim that
Ravens has declared that when the
bodies were found in the cellar of the
Guinness home on April %. that they
were lying on the floor and that there
was no debris under them. They argue
that the circumstances show that the
bodies had been placed in the cellars
previous to the beginning of the. fire
which destroyed the farmhouse.
The testimony of other men who
helped Sheriff Shutter uncover the
corpses and of the sheriff himself is
against this supposition. In addition
the findings of the physicians who eX-
an,ined the corpses established the
fact that the persons burned were
clothed in night robes and that re-
mains of bedding and mattresses were
also present.

NOISE NUIsANCEs.
Some Early Efforts Toward Their
Suppression.

Suppression.
1t is so quiet uptown now that
the patient listener may now and
then catch some of the softer noises
of the world" said a semi-invalid
lawyer who spends most of the day
sitting by the. open window of his
Harlem fiat.
Il have naturally taken great
deal of interest in the present crusade
against unnecessary noises, and have
been reading up on sporadic attempts
to suppress them," he continued.
The earliest case that l have found
was in the reign of George III, when
circus band was silenced by injunc.
ton on the ground that its noise was
a nuisance. In another old English
law report 1t tells of a plaintiff recov-
ering damages because a flock of
wild ducks was frightened by the
persistent firing OF a gun. Tho
learned judge held that this consti.
tuted a public nuisance and was a
prejudice to private rights. In
Georgia gathering in noisy way at
pigeon shooting has been Judi.
cially decided to be a nuisance. A
North Carolina court held that the
stamping horses in a livery stable
near the plaintiffs dwelling was suf-
ficient annoyance to entit,e him 10
damages.
Even the noise incident to an or
dinary business may be q nuisance.
A gold-beater pelting a thin sheet OF
sold into shape, the hammering OF
the anvil in the blacksmith shop, the
noise OF a skating rink, and so on,
have all been held to be aOatable
nuisances.
"The test laid down in the bookr
is that any noise which constitutes
an annoyance to person of ordinary
sensibility to sound so as materially
to interfere with the ordinary COM
fort OF life and impair the reason
able enjoyment of his habitation, is
a nuisance to him
1T is within the bounds of possl-
bility that in great centres OF popu-
lation a new class of experts will
arise to draw salaries from the muni-
clpality as noise specialists. I'm
usual noises long continued undoubt-
edly induce deafness. aside from irri-
tating nerves and murd ering sleep.
At any rate, they destroy a discrim-
mating nicely in hearing. especially
in those who have what is called
musical ear. From the New York

Depth AZ which Miners Can Work.

Below so feet the temperature
rises in the proportion of one degree
for every Go feet of depth except
where currents of water carry the
heat away. The result is that at a
depth of about 1000 feet we reach
temperature of 9S degrees. or blood
heat. This renders It exceedingly
difficult to work coal pits below that
depth. This 10 the reason that Great
Britain's coal commission has decid-
ed that mines are not workable be-
low 1000 feet.
The thickness OF the solid rocks
building up the crust of the earth is
at least 80 TO 40 miles. AT that
derth the heat is such as would re.
duce everything on the surface of the
earth to liquid. But the pressure Of
the everything rocks is so great that
until the relation Of the heat to the
pressure is known 1t cannot be said
whether the earth at that depth IS
fluid or solid.--Chicago Tribune.
