FROM THE LAW COURT,

Decision in Favor of Guptill in In
surance Case.
The decision of the law court in the case
OF Albion X. Guptill VS.. the Pine Tree
State Mutual Fire Insurance Co., has been
handed down. 1t is in favor of plaintiff.
This case was tried at the October term
OF court last year, George B. Stuart ap-
pearing for plaintiff and Wiley c. Conary
for defendant. The jury returned YER
dict for plaintiff for $952.05. The case was
taken to the law court on motion for new
trial on ground of excessive damages. The
motion is overruled by the law court. The
rescript follows:
Where there is evidence upon which the
jury is warranted in finding that the fact of
nonoccupancy was known to defendants
agent who procured the application for a
policy of fire insurance, the agents know
ledge must be deemed to be the knowledge
of defendant, and all description regarded
as waived and the policy issued upon such
application is not void by reason of false rep
resentation.
Where an application for renewal of a
policy if insurance is signed in blank by the
insured and subsequently, flied out by the
agent of the insurer, the act of the agent is
that of the insurer.
motion for a new trial on the ground of
excessive damages will not be granted when
the court finds in the verdict, viewed in the
light of the evidence, no indication of bias,
prejudice or improper motive on the part of
the Jury.

Word has been received from the gen.
eral manager Of the Maine Central rail-
road that special train will be run from
Bangor to Calais after the last festival
concert on the evening OF Oct. IL. As to a
special after the concert on Thursday
evening : Nordica night = the manager
says that he is quite willing to furnish
one provided payment is guaranteed.
This means that for special train from
Bangor to Ellsworth 800 must be guaran-
teed. II all who desire to return that
night will send their names to Harry l..
Crabtree, secretary OF the Ellsworth
chorus, and the number is large enough
to warrant special, one will be run.
This means that at least 120 round-trip
tickets at seventy-five cents each must be
sold at this station on or before Thurs
day, Oct. 10. The desire to hear Madame
Nordica is very great, and there will doubt
less be a rush for tickets at the last
moment; hence all who wish for special
train are strongly urged to act in this mat
ter at the earliest possible moment.

TRAIN STRUCK AUTO.
Three Killed and Two Injured in
Accident Near NORWAY.

William E. Walker, son of ex-senator
William A. Walker, Of Castine, was one of
the injured in an accident near Norway
Friday, in which three were killed and
two injured, when locomotive struck an
automobile.
Those killed were Dorothy Grose, of
East Sumner, Elizabeth Fairclouth, of
Richmond, and Harry Smith, of South
Paris. Mr.. Walker had one leg and one
arm broken; Forrest Conant, of Hebron,
had one arm fractured.
All the occupants of the automobile ex-
cept Smith were students at Hebron acade-
my. They had been invited by Conant to
ride to South Paris in his automobile.
Engine trouble developing, a visit was
paid to garage, and the proprietor, Harry
Smith, took the drivers seat and sent the
car over the road toward Norway to try
out the engine.
They had reached a crossing on the Nor
way branch of the Grand Trunk railroad,
when the locomotive struck them. Ac-
cording to the engineer of the train, the
automobile was going along at a good
speed, while Smith, the driver, was leaning
over listening to the working of his en-
gine. None of the occupants Of the car saw
the train in time to give warning to
Smith, and the engineer of the train was
unable to prevent the collision.
| After watching a demonstration with
the aid OF special train and the ruins of
the automobile and listening to the evil
dence of number of witnesses, a coro-
ner's jury on Monday rendered verdict
that in the accident no blame was at
tached to the railroad.

GOING TO JERUSALEM.
Rev. H. b. Haskell Appointed to
Important Post.

Rev. Horace B. Haskell. of Bangor,
formerly OF Ellsworth, where he resided
several years while superintendent of the
Bucksport district, has been honored by
appointment to the dictatorship OF the
Bishop of Newman Bible Institute and
Post Graduate Schools of Jerusalem,
Palestine. His services with the church
in Bangor will close sometime in October,
when he will sail for Naples, making a
brief visit in Rome, going from Naples to
Port Said and Jerusalem.
The meeting with Bishop Burt and the
Reverend A. w. Brown, d. D., who has
been in charge of the work in Jerusalem,
will take place in New York early this
month, when details as to the policy of
these new institutions will be considered.
One large, fine building with large
grounds, a lot with foundation for new
building and an endow nment of S65, ,00O
constitute the present resources. The
property is held in trust by the board of
foreign missions.
Bishop Burt and Bishop Nuelson, OF
Switzerland, have special supervision.
The selection of Mr.. Haskell, who was not
a candidate for the position, considering
the large number OF applications, is
| certainly compliment.
| The American Bible society has invited
Mr.. Haskell to look after its interests in
| Palestine. He will attend as delegate
the Worlds Sunday school convention in
| Switzerland in July, 1913.
In connection with this appointment
| the people of Ellsworth will be interested
| to know that Rev. Edwin d. Kizer, OF
Ellsworth, was selected to accompany DR.
Haskell to Jerusalem as his assistant in
| the development Of the work there. DR.
Kizer has, however, asked to be released
| from the appointment, owing to the in
| ability of his mother to accompany him,
and it is probable that he will remain in
| Ellsworth to finish this conference year
at least.
The many Ellsworth friends of both DR..
| Haskell and DR.. Kizer congratulate them
upon the honor conferred upon them.

Mock Court Trial j..

There was a good attendance at the
mock court trial given at Hancock hall
last Friday evening, under the auspices of
the Ellsworth Merchants association.
The trial of a breach of promise suit Of
fered many Iaughable situations and op-
portunity for local hits. There was de-
licious humor running through the entire
''trial" in the exaggerration of familiar
tactics of lawyers in the trial of cases.
Miss Atkins, as the widow Perkins,
plaintiff in the suit, and Miss Stevens, her
niece, the real object of the defendants g
attentions, did clever bit of acting. Col.
Newton, who staged the play, and was the
leading figure in the case as counsel for
plaintiff, was extremely funny. Roy G.
Haines, called in at short notice to act as
defendants counsel, filed the part well.
