ciaD.-Rev. Samuel Emerson, who
figured as the prominent speaker
at the fourth annual meeting
of the Somerset Veterans AS

time in the Civil War than most of the
other soldiers from the State. He was
in the War of the Rebellion six years,
six months. and nineteen days. He was
in several decisive battles, the Battle of
the Potomac, First Battle of Bull Run,
Siege of Yorktown, Battle of Williams

majority of the stock outstanding are
entitled to elect the officers of the COR
poraticn, control it's affairs and ENJOY
the incidental benefits of such control,
or whether the defendapt has such ~
title to thescertificates standing in his
name as trustee as to entitle him to

controversy is one between stockhoid-
ers, or alleged stockholders for control

bet, Stone & stone for defendants.
The only Aroostook case to be argued
was that of Currie VS.. Cleveland ct al.
This is an action of assumpsit brought
upon account annexed The question at
issue is whether a certain machine, the
value of which is included in a set-off
filed by the defendant, was sold out
right to the plaintiff, or whether it was
placed in his factory on trial. The case
comes up on defendants motion for a
new trial. Il. w. Shaw for plaintiff;
James Archibald for defendant.
Jones VS.. Maine Central Railroad CO.
This is case to recover damages for
land burned by a fire alleged to have
been set by sparks from the engine of
the defendant corporation. Verdict for
the plaintiff, Charlotte r. Jones of
Ellsworth in the sum of 1858 was given
in the lower court and the case comes
up on defendants exceptions and mo-
ton for a new trial. The defendant
claims that no sufficient proof is offer
ed that the fire was set by the rail-
road. John A. Peters for plaintiff; Os-
car F. Fellows and II. M. Hall for de-
fendant
Jordan VS.. Maine Central Railroad.
This case is similar to the preceding
one. Both fires were alleged to have
been set on the same day and in this
case the court below gave a verdict
of $193.33 for the plaintiff, Susan N.
Jordan of Ellsworth. Harry l.. Crab
tree for plaintiff; Oscar +. Fellows and

The first case to be argued when
court opened Thursday morning was
that of Monahan VS.. Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada. This is personal
damage action. Michael Monahan, an ell
derby gentleman, formerly resident of
Portland, was injured while unloading
hay from freight car of the defend
ant corporation. The plaintiff claims
that the defendant was negligent In
failing to provide a suitable number OF
employees to do the work in which the
plaintiff was engaged. The case was
heard in Portland at the October term
of the supreme court and came up on
executions to a non suit. This non-suit
was granted upon the stipulation OF
the defendant and upon condition that
the defendant pay the expenses OF
printing the evidence and that if a
ron-suit should for any reason be over
ruled. Judgment is to be entered in the
law court in the sum Of $780, D. A.
