ined by the Result

Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.--Altho
the Republicans came off victorious
in the state election today, Bert M.
Fernald Of Poland, being chosen
governor over 0badiho HI. Gardener
of Rockland, the Democrats had the
satisfaction of seeing the normal
Republican plurality cut to less than
ten thousand votes for the first time
iii campaign for more than quar-
ter OF century.
All four Republican candidates for
congress were elected and for state
auditor, Charles 3. Hatch Of Angus
ia, Republican, defeated his oppon-
emit. j35..,s.
The result was much closer than
any OF the Republican leaders had
anticipated, the good showing owing
to the popularity Of Mr.. Gardener
through the state. The Republicans
were on the, defensive throughout
the campaign, seeking to hold the
state by the usual plurality by an
swering the various Democratic ar
guments which were mainly for re-
submission Of the prohibitory; law,
taxation Of wild lands and reform in
administrative methods. 81 \. I'M I

plantations out Of $40, give Fernald

Democrats Jubilant.
Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 14.-Early
returns from Maine were received by
the Democratic leaders here tonight
with much qualification. National
Chairman Mack expressed himself as
& greatly pleased with the large gains
made by the Democratic gubernator-
ial candidate, declaring that it was
an indication Of the strong drift OF
{ Democratic sentiment. Mr.. Mack
said ,5s.
The reports that ! have received
from Maine were very encouraging
and the result led me to anticipate
the large gains made by the Demo
Z Gratis. Maine has always been re-
garded as hide-bound Republican
state and the returns from there to.
night indicate more clearly than any
thing I can say that the sentiment
Of the people is thoroughly aroused
for the cause Of Democracy.

Saratoga, New York, Sep. 1.-THE
anti-Hughes men seem to have staked
their all in an effort to induce Sec
rotary of State Elihu Root to accept
the nomination for governor instead
Of Goveror Hughes
That Root has been impressed by
the. strength of the movement in his
behalf and by the Importance of his
decision as affecting the welfare of
the party can be stated with the ut
most confidence. Nor is deciding
the question alone. In the decision
it is known that he is seeking coun
sci of men high up in the leadership
of the party and decision is expect
ed hourly. >... ~
More than this it is Impossible to
state but the crisis was reached in
the matter early this evening and the
sum total of the situation at 10 p. m.
was that unless MIR. Root was advis-
ed and decided between this and
morning, to allow his name to be used
the opposition to Governor Hughes
would collapse and Hughes nominated
upon the first ballot.
Root Says Nay, Nay.

outcome of the battle. It is known
that the opposition candidate could
have defeated the nomination of the
Governor if they could have agreed
upon some other man of adequate
political size and induced him to &C
cept the nomination.
Secretary of State Root has been
the subject of incessant and earnest
appeals to assume the honors of the
situation. Mr. Root told the leaders
tonight that he would not think Of

sustained by the plaintiff
The court is of opinion that there
was sufficient evidence to warrant the
Jury in finding that the defendant put
the plaintiff at work in dangerous
place without giving him notice or
warning. that the dangers were known
and appreciated by the defendant, but
not by the plaintiff, that the damages

iom. Bird, J.
Motion for new trial because of al
legged excessive damages. The plain
tiff, an unmarried woman not yet of
middle age, received an injury to the
left side by reason of the derailment
Of a car of defendant in which she was
riding as a passenger. Liability was
admitted and damages only were con-
sldcrcd by the jury, who found Tor
plaintiff in the sum of $4,000.
The accident occurred September I,
1905. and the cause was tried In jan
uary, 1903. or about two years and four
months later During this period 1t
does not appear that the plaintiff had
been confined to her bed since three
days Immediately following the injury
or that she has suffered any accelera-
ton of the pulse except on the day OF
the accident or that there has been any
rise in temperature or fever. Upon un-
contradicteI evidence, it is clear that
at the time of the trial there had been
no disturbance of the functions of the
internal organs claimed to be involved
in the injury, nor any excessive physl-
cal pain or weakness, nor any marked
change in the occupations or earning
capacity of plaintiff. Her expense for
medical treatment has not then ex-
ceeded one hundred and fifty dollars.
A most careful examination of the en-
tire record reveals neither certainty,
nor anything approaching certainty,
that plaintiff will not recover.
We arc therefore forced to conclude
that the jury in arriving at verdict
was moved either by bias or prejudice,
or laboring under a misapprehcnsion
of fact and that the verdict is exces-
siiva.
Nctior sustained and new trial
granted, unless2 with so days alter
the fling of this certificate, the PLAIN
tiff rcmits so much of the verdict as Is
in excess of twenty-eight hundred
(oS0N> dollars.

issue III .his case, is question OF IN
tent. ''Io aunstitute an abandonment
of righ. Of way, there must be
clear, unequivocal and decisive act OF
the party showing a determination not
to have the benefit intended" Nero
failure to occupy a right of way, with
out other circumstances to show aban-
donment or failure of the purpose for
which the use is granted, will not sop-
crate to divest the title of the owner
thereof. Townsend v. Mich. Cen. r. r.,

to, use the easement, but the nature OF
the act done by the owner of the ease
ment or Of the adverse act acqulesced
in BY him, and the intention which one

rial'
It appears in evidence in this case
that when the railroad was first built
il extended to the zero point, so called,
of the location. In 1877 or 1880 the
gauge of the road was changed and
at that time two lengths of rails of 80
feet each were taken up at the easterly
end of the location and a bunting post
and brace were placed at the westerly
end of this 60-foot strip to mark the
new terminus, which has remained un-
changed to this day. Since that time
the defendant has made no use what
ever of this 60-foot strip, while the
plaintiff ras erected buildings upon a
portion of it and has used the portion
next casterlv of the bunting post for a
driveway to and from the wharf prop
erty living toward the south. Under
thesa circumstances and considering all
tho facts OF the case the court are OF
opinion that if the defendant can be
held to have abandoned the portion
covered by the buildings. it should also
be held to have abandoned the balance
of the SO-foot strip as far as the bunt-
ing post.
All the evidence having been intro
duced in this case and the plaintiffs
having filed a general motion as well
as exceptions, it is the opinion of the
court thft substantial justice can best
be attained by the order that If the de-
fendant within go days after the filing
of this decision shall release to the
plaintiff all it's right, title and inter-
est in and to all of the right of way
covered by it's location easterly of the
bunting post now marking the east
erlv terminus Of the defendants line,
the exceptions and motion shall be
overruled, otherwise they shall be sus-
tanned.
If defendant within 60 days after the
filing of this decision shall release to
the plaintiff all its right. title and in
tt-rest in and to all the right of way
covered bv its location easterly of the
bur ting post now marking the easterly
terminus of the defendants line. the
executions and motion shalt be over
ruled. otherwise they shall be sus-
tanned.
So ordered.
