UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
Term Closes for 16-Day Holiday Re-
cess-Talk to the Engineers.

orono, Me-. Dec. e.-(specia9.-The
University of Maine, will close, Sat
urday noon, for the Christmas recess
of 16 days, which is longer than usual.
Owing to the fact that Christmas
comes on Wednesday. the faculty de-
lcided to commence the vacation three
days earlier than usual.
The regular monthly meeting of the
University of Maine Society of Civil
Engineers was held, Wednesday eve
ming, in the lecture room of the libra
ry. The members of the other engi-
ineering societies in the university had
been invited to attend this meeting:
and the invitation met with such a
general response that about so engi-
neering students greeted Pres. Alley,
speaker of the evening. DR.. Alley
brought out very forcibly some of the
things that an engineering student
should do in college, and some of the
things that the successful engineer
must do for his first few years after
graduation from college.

sion that this trench or channel, cut
through the snow in the Travelled part
of the highway, sufficient to cause the
overturn of cob, or other vehicle
upon runners, whatever its depth and
shape, could be regarded as other than
a. defect, provided the vehicle was be-
ing driven with due care. 1t is a case
in which the accident itself speaks.
The fact that the cab overturned in
the travelled part of the street, is very
strong evidence that such street was
unsafe and inconvenient for travellers.
Upon this element of the case the YER
dict cannot be set aside.
1t accordingly remains to be seen
if the plaintiff was in the exercise of
due care. The jury was clearly war
ranted in finding for the plaintiff upon
this issue. In fact, there is no evil
dence that contravenes this conclu-
sion, nor does the defendant raise the
question in it's brief. 1t is true, the
plaintiff had frequently been past the
locus. but upon the day of the ac-
cident quite an amount of snow had
fallen which obscured the real condi-
ton, and, in addition to this, the
plaintiff was obliged to turn from the
most travelled part of the way to avoid
collision with an approaching coal
team.
Motion overruled.

vent them doing SO"

lowed.

son will talk with Mr.. Bryan and be-
fore the new year begins he also will

that he meant to keep strict silence
about appointments until he was ready
to make a general statement on the
subject.
Scattering announcements would

late. The time will depend somewhat
on the number of written communica-

Mr.. Wilson indicated that he would
not feel at liberty to make final de-
cision until the merits of all possible
candidates had been set forth to him.
What / am sincerely trying to do
he added, is to see the field of choice
and try to get as many opinions as
possible that are worth WHILE
Mr. Wilson was asked if he believ-
ed he would encounter any difficulty
in getting the men desired for cabinet
portfolios to accept. 1t had been sug :
gested to him that in the case of the
attorney generalship, noted lawyers
had been reluctant to leave their prac-
tice, and that for this reason the can
didacy of many men was not pressed
by their friends.

Court Decides
Against St. Ry.

That the part of the street which it
was the duty of the Electric Road to
maintain was unsafe and inconvenient
for travellers and that the plaintiff was
exercising due care are reasons given
by the law court for everything a mo-
ton for a new trial in the kennebec
county case of George NJ Mansell VS.
L., a. & w. st. Ry, in which an Au-
gusta cab driver was given verdict
in an action for damages for personal
injuries received by the overturning
of his cab. The rescript is as follows;
George M. Mansell VS.. L., A. & w.
st. Ry. Per Curtain:
This case comes up on motion. 1t is
an action for damages for personal in
juries received by the plaintiff by the
over-turning of his cab which came
in contact with "a rail of the defend
ants road at the Western Avenue
junction in the city of Augusta. No
question is raised as to the amount
of the verdict. The accident occurred
in the travelled part of the way.
Upon the evidence, the jury would
be authorized to find that at the point
of accident, the defendant in clearing
the show from its roadbed had left ID
depression or trench, occupied by the
track, which made a diagonal slope to
the rails, from the level of the snow
in the road, eight inches in length and
six Or seven inches in depth; that Is
