"The Third Degree.o

One of the nota BILE productions OF the
season is Charles Klein's play, ''Tne Third
Degree, > which the Paul Gilmore Co. will
present at Hancock hall next Saturday
evening. Mr.. Klein is the author OF 1.-THE
Lion and the Mouse", play OF great dra-
matte strength.
In ''The Third Degree" Mr.. Klein has
taken for his subject certain abuses OF
power by the police, together with con-
ditions that exist among high social cir
cles in New York city. The story deals
with young man who, by reason OF his
marriage to girl OF the people, is dis
owned by his father, member OF the old
Knicker booker set. Through the death,
under peculiar circumstances, OF q man,
suspicion is laid upon the boy by the po-
lice, who attempt to fasten the chains Of
guilt upon him. The girl fights singIe-
handed against the powers which have
sworn to make her husband victim of
misplaced justice.
The company engaged to present this
play has been carefully selected and re-
hesrsed by Mr.. Gilmore himself, and will
be headed by Miss Adelaide French and
John C. Connery.

Fire ut Sullivan.

SULLIVAN HARBoR, Jan. 81 Especially
Great excitement prevailed for awhile in
this quiet little community Tuesday
morning, when II. L. Cleaves' stable was
burned to the ground, endangering many
dwellings near and Dunbar's store.
The flames seemed to burst all at once
from the roof, SO that by the time the fire
brigade arrived, the fire had made great
headway in the nigh wind. 1t was inn
possible to save any of the building.
Fortunately all the horses were out at
the time, and the carriages, ETC., were
saved. Dunbar's storehouse for grain was
destroyed; contents saved. The loss on
buildings is estimated at $500; on con-
tents $500. Insurance, 5000.

n0FUUT wot0F w.
The decision Of the law court in the case
Of Loren r. Kimball VS.. Northeast Harbor
Water Co. has been handed down. The
rescript by Justice Cornish, follows:
The defendant company WAS chartered
under chapter l6s Of private laws Of ism. "ior

Desert in Hancock county, and the vicinity OF
said village, with pure water for domestic.

vate laws 1907, chapter 1877, It wae further
authorized and empowered "to supply water
for shipping and for the development Of
power.
The plaintiff 10 the owner Of summer hotel
and one Of the parties supplied by the de-
fendant. In 1888 he installed in his hotel IN
elevator, which has since been run BY water
power by direct pressure, the water being
taken from an eight-ineh main in the street
through four-inch pipe directly 70 the
elevator.
In December. 1908, the defendant noti-
fed the plaintiff that it would discontinue ehe
supply Of water for elevator purposes ON
April l. 1909, because Of the effect Of the direct
pressure upon its system, unless the plaintiff
by the construction Of tank should change

was subsequently extended by the company
to June l. 1909. The plaintiff made NO changes

this supply,
Held:
l. That it is necessary to consider the force
or validity Of the additional act OF 1907
O. That the language and spirit of the
original charter are sufficiently broad to
cover this case, as the use made Of the water
oy the plaintiff comes within the term "do-
mestic". The water is not used for the de-
velopment Of power for commerc rcial or iudus-
trial purposes but for the comfort and con-
venience Of the proprietor, his family.

the mode Of use is the determin ming factor
g. That therefore the company is bound to
supply water for this purpose to the plaintiff
at reasonable rates aud subject to reasonable
rules and regulations in the conduct OF its
business.
4. That a requirement by the company that
the plaintiff shall SO apply the water Is not
to menace the safety, stability and usefuln ess

was justified in insisting upon the condition

readily seen why the great railroads
of the country are striving for stra-
