MOTION SUSTAINED
For a New Trial in Saeadahoc County
Case, Barrett VS.. ST. Ry.

The law court has handed down
rescript sustaining motion for a new
trial in the Sagadahoc county case
of John w Barrett VS. Lewiston,
Brunswick & Bath St. Ry. Co. The
text of the rescript, which was drawn
by Associate Justice Savage, is as
follows:
1. If one party to a contract with
intent 6 to deceive. conceals or sup
presses from the other a material fact
which he is bound in good faith to
disclose, it is tantamount to a false
representation.
.. If one party conceals any fact
material to the transaction, and pc
culiarly or exclusively within his
knowledge, knowing that the other
party acts on the presumption that no
such fact exists, it is as much a fraud
as if it were expressly denied
3. The suppression to be fraudu-
lent must relate to a material fact,
known to one party, and which it is
his legal duty to communicate to the
other. That duty may arise from a
relation of trust, from confidence, or
from inequality of condition or knowl-
edge.
4. Concealment implies design and
purpose. Mere silence is not of itself
eoncealment. Whatever the purpose,
if the party is not misled, no relief
can be had for fraud.
8. The plaintiff in this case seeks
to have a settlement made by him
with the defendant, for damages oc-
casioned by the defendants negli-
gence regarded as null and void. on
the ground that the settlement was
induced and procured by a fraudulent
suppression on the part of the de-
PENDANT of the truth respecting the
probability of the plaintiffs having
to suffer the amputation of a leg. The
court are of opinion that a finding
that the defendant was guilty of n
fraudulent suppression of the truth, or
that the plaintiff was misled by the
defendants conduct or silence could
only be based upon differences not
warranted by the evidence, and that
the verdict for the plaintiff was clear
ly wronS.

Golgotha.

The one spot which more than any
other has controlled the history of
Europe lies strangely enough not in
Europe itself, but in Asia. For the
possession of the site where Christ
suffered. was buried and rose AGAIN.
more blood has been shed than for
any other. An immense number of
lives were laid down during the Cru
sades; and for six hundred years be-
fore the Crusades. and even to the
present time, a constant stream of
pilgrims has poured into Jerusalem to
worship at the spot made sacred by
the crucifiXion of Christ.
From the fourth century after
Christ until fifty years ago this site
was generally conceded to be within
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Now two sites dispute the claim OF
being the actual Golgotha. This lat
ter claimant is known as "Gordon's
Calvary" though to an American. Dr.
Harlan p. Beach of Yale University is
due the actual discovery of il, Gen.
Gordon. the hero of Khartum. having
first secured for it general recogni-
tion.-Christian Herald.

NEWSPAPERS FOR WALLS.
One of Their Uses in China-Aiso
Made Into Waistcoats.

The Chinese are the greatest con-
sumers of old newspapers in the
world. The official returns of the
custom house at Newchwang state
that port alone in 1911 received 1918
tons of old European newspapers
valued at 914,500.
1t is not at first easy to discover to
what use so much obsolete news can
be put. However, we gather that the
middle class Chinese prefer news
paper to the native variety as a COW
ering for their walls. 1t has a great
er power of resistance and affords q
more effective barrier to the invasions
of the vermin that plague Chinese
houses.
Moreover the natives are experts
at cutting out of the newspaper
waistcoats which they wear next to
the skin. These paper waistcoats are
said to be the best possible protection
against a sudden cold snap. In view
of these admirable uses to which
European newspapers may be put it is
not surprising to learn that the i'm
ports of 1911 show a considerable in
crease in weight.
The value of the import has, how
ever, declined. 1t is interesting to
note the reason for this decline. 1t
is explained by the rapid development
of the native newspaper press which
has taken place during the last few
years. Chinese newspapers are now
printed for the most part on paper
imported from the United States, so
that instead of paying high prices for
imported newspapers the Chinese OF
the interior use the returns" of the
native press for their walls and their
isteoats.-National Review of

Will Be Erected al North
End Of Water St.
Maine TheateT Co. Will Finance
Such a Proposition.
Building for Standard Production
With Seating Capacity Of 500.

The rumor, which has been more OF
less persistent ever since the big fire
at the North End of a new theater
for Augusta, has at last become of j
tangible nature and if plans now be-
ing formed are carried out the new
theater will within a few months be-
come a reality.
Incorporation papers for the com
pany which is to finance the new en-
terprise and which is tc oe known as
the Maine .Theater Co, are now GO
ing through the usual channels, the
firm of Williamson, Burleigh & Nc
Lean handling the matter of incor-
poration The ineorporators are men
of standing in this city and Lewiston
and have ample financial resources to
carry out the project.
An option has already been secur
ed upon the vacant lot, where the
Theater Comique and the bowling al
ley owned by Mrs. Katherine Morrill,,
and the old Rand & Stearns bakery
stood This lot has a frontage of Sc
feet on Water street and is from 20
10 rs feet deep.
The tentative plans call for a the
alter building with seating capacity
of 1900 and with entrances and exits
on the street level on the front and
on one side. This plan involves leav-
ing an alley way or passage on one
side of the building.
The new theater will be a playhouse
adequate to accommodate all of the
standard productions, will be modern
in every particular, with splendidly
equipped stage and will contain all the
latest fire prevention devices.
