The Coming City Election

The Coming City Election.
The republicans OF Ellsworth will
meet in caucus next Saturday to nomi-
nate candidates for mayor and alder
men and other ward offices. While
there is as yet little excitement over
the coming election, it must not be
supposed that the city committee has
not been busy in getting matters into
such shape as to make republican sue
cess at the polls reasonably certain.
1t is understood that a ticket has
been proposed by the committee,
made up of gentlemen who have con-
scented to stand if nominated ticket
that will, in an unusual degree, COM
mend itself not only to the party, but
also to citizens in general.
With State and national election
ahead this year, it is especially incum-
bent upon all republicans to get to-
gether and keep together. There is
certainly no reason why this city,
normally republican, should allow the
control of its municipal affairs to re-
main in the hands OF it's political op.
ponents.
Let all be awake to the situation.
Stifie factional differences, if there are
any, and get this city back to its old
time republican majority.

OBITUARY..


MRS. MARCUS NJ. THOMAS.
Ellen F., wife of Marcus NJ. Thomas, of
Washington, D. c., formerly Of this city,
died at her home in Washington, Feb. s.
Mrs. Thomas was Miss Grant, and was
born in Surry. She will be remembered
by many of the older residents Of this city.
A brother was at one time a clerk in the
drug store or the late c. G. Peck.
Mr.. Thomas is the son of the late Isaac
H. Thomas. He served in the navy during
the Civil war, and is a pensioner. He
moved to Washington soon after the close
of the war, and has been an employee in
the navy department ever since.
Mrs. Thomas was prominent member
OF the Baptist church, and active in the
Maine association of Washington. These
societies sent beautiful floral offerings to
the funeral, which was held at the resi-
dence, 915 r street, n. W., last Saturday
afternoon.
Mr.. Thomas has the warmest sympathy
of his many friends, both here and in
Washington, in the death of his most es-
Unable wife. They had no children
Those who knew her speak of her as a
woman of lofty character, active in social
and charitable work-one whose influence
for good was marked, and who will be
sorely missed.

FROM LAW COURT.



Manufacturing CO.
The rescript in the case of Edwin 5.
Atwood VS.. The Maine Hub and Manu-
featuring Co. is as follows:
This is an action of special assumpsit based
upon contract by the terms of which the
plaintiff agreed to cut and haul certain logs
for the defendant at $500 per thousand. 1t
was also stipulated that the survey of the logs
should be made by a scaler to be agreed upon
by the parties. The performance of all the
conditions of the contract is admitted. The
correctness OF the credits allowed by the
plaintiff is not questioned. The plaintiff
claims TO have cut and hauled f6r the defend
ant 1904 sticks. The count is conceded. The
only question raised in the case is as to the
number of feet OF lumber contained in these
1904 logs. In accordance with the terms OF
the contract, the parties agreed upon c. NJ.
Stewart as scaler. He assumed the duties OF
the position and his scale bills show that the
plaintiff cut and hauled 72s, $40 feet of Jumper
The plaintiffs suit is to recover for cutting
and hauling this quantity of lumber at $500
per thousand. The verdict was for the full
amount with interest from the date of the
writ less the credits. The case comes to this
court on motion and presents pure questions
of fact, no exceptions having been taken.
It is well settled and familiar rule Of law
that when parties have agreed upon scaler
to scale logs, they win in the absence of fraud
and mathematical mistake, be bound by his
scale"
Under this rule, the only avenue OF attack
upon the verdict open to the defendant. is
through fraud or mathematical mistake, in
making the survey.
An assault upon both these positions was
vigorously made by the defence but rejected
by the Jury. The evidence discloses no
reason for setting the verdict aside.
Motion overruled.

The House of success.

There are no elevators in the House of

But the stairs are long and steep;
And a man who would climb to the very top,
Before he dare walk, must creep.
There are no carpees in the House of Success,
But the floors are hard and bare,
With slippery places all about
And pitfalls here and there.
There are no lounges or easy chairs,
Nor places to rest your spine;
But when one has arrived on the roof at last

Coast Missionary Mcdonald, in an
article in Outlook, speaks of the 100 or
more children OF the lighthouses along
the Maine coast. There are seventy-five
light stations along the Maine shore, some
of them on bleak headlands, many others
ON isolated islands, and few at the
entrances of harbors near cities and viii
lagos. All the State can do in the matter
is to grant free tuition at the nearest pub
lie school, but as most of the children are
too young to be separated from home, this
gives very little help. The lighthouse
keepers are men above the average along
the coast, and it seems great pity that
their sturdy children should be deprived
of proper educational advantages, but Mr..
Macdonald, after correspondence with
both the State and national authorities,
admits that he does not see what can be
done about it.
