Some One Blundered
claim for Seized
Liquors at Bangor

Bangor, Me-. May 2o.--James w.
Birmingham, who said he was
wholesale liquor dealer in Boston, ap-
peared in the municipal court Tuesday
and said that some one had Numbered
in shipping a half carload of assorted
liquors, valued at about $4,000, to Great
Works, Me, when it was intended for
the Peoples Bottling Co, of Berlin
n H, and was so marked.
Joseph G. Blais of Berlin, N. H.,
testified that ne ordered the goods of
the Birmingham concern. This liquor
with about as much more consigned to
A. G. Perro, an Oldtown hotelkeeper,
making a full carload, was recently
seized by Sheriff j. F. O'Connell.
For two days lawyers have been
making a fight to recover the liquor,
In the case of the Perro consignment,
counsel for Perro has taken a number
of exceptions, claiming defects in the
warrant. These apply to the entire
carload and besides these an error
In shipment is claimed in the lot mark
ed for Berlin, n. II. The station agent
at Great Works, which is in 0lotown,
said that the car was billed through
from Boston to that station. County
Atty. Snow asked Birmingham why he
did not file claim with the Boston &
Maine Railroad, to which the witness
replied that he supposed he would
have to make his claim where the
liquor was seized.
Judge Plaisted has reserved his de-
cision. The liquor which made up the
largest single seizure ever made in
Maine, it is said is stored in the coun-
ty courthouse here.

fession, and proper investtga hion
and knowledge of the business in hand
in all its details. The representations
to the defendant should be true in
fact as to the general requisites of the
contract. and substantially accurate
in dealing with the accounts, quanti-
ties and values involved Good faith
should characterize his management
of the business entrusted to him." De-
PENDANTS had the right to believe that
the plaintiff possessed all necessary
attributes.
THE case discloses," says Justice
Hanson, that the plaintiff made dill
gent inquiry as to the financial con-
dition of the town, was we'll informed
as to the amount of money on hand
and the vote providing additional
funds for the purpose. He was as
well informed as any of the town Of
fieexs or building committee. Having
such knowledge, he knew, or must be
held to have known. that any contract
or agreement entered into by him with
any or all of the committee or town
officers, having in view a building and
equipment to cost in excess of $4,000
would not be valid, and therefore not

binding upon the town.
The court calls attention to the
charge of fraud set up by the de-
PENDANT and says this must be ma
terial, relate distinctly to the contract
and affect its very essence and sub
stance. 1t need not necessarily imply
moral turpitude. The defendants relied
upon the fraudulent statement, in the
full belief of its truth, and had a right
to.
In awarding judgment for the de-
PENDANTS, Justice Hanson says:
Here there is no point raised as To
the statements being mere matters OF
opinion. There is direct conflict OF
testimony as to the issue involved. II
the plaintiff Intentionally suppressed
the truth, or stated as a fact matters
or things which were untrue, and
which the defendants had a right ia
believe were matters within the plain
tiff's knowledge, on which the defend
ants relied, he cannot recover, wheth-
err moral turpitude or carelessnesS, or
ignorance, or gross inattention TO his
duties, is the source of such state
ment. The-result is the same, the de-
PENDANT town is injured by the plain
tiff's wrongful act or omission, and
the law holds him responsible in either
case.
The authorities are uniform that
material misrepresentation which &c
to the substance of the contract, avoid
that contract, whether they are caused
by mistake, and occur wholly without
fault, or are designed and fraudulent"

Architect Underestimated Cost
OF SchoOlhOuse and Law Court
SaysHarmony OWesHim Nothing

Portland, Me-, May 20.-A rescript
of great Importance to the building
trade has just been handed down by
the law court. 1t is in the case of
Calvin S. Lane of Portland, an archi-
tect against the Town of Harmony,
which was brought to recover $1742.9o
for services, ETC., in designing a school
building for the defendant town. The
town officials claimed that the archi-
tect had represented to them the
building would not cost more than
$4,000, but that 1t did cost about $4,000,
and for this reason claimed they did
not owe the architect. The law court
sustains their contention and awards
Judgment for the defendant.
Justice Hanson, in reviewing the
case says it is an action on the case
brought by the plaintiff, an architect,
to recover his services, commissions
and expenses which he claims TO be
due under a contract with the defend
ant, for plans and specifications for
Il SCIOOl anu tiiN pun VI
material therefor. The plaintiff sued
for $1742.so. which he claimed was 10
per cent. of the cost of the building,
equipment and expenses. The de-
PENDANTS deny liability and by brief
statement that the plaintiff represent
ed and warranted to the defendant
that the proposed building would not
exceed in cost the sum of $4,000, and
it was upon this guarantee that the
plans were accepted.
The defendant further AYERS that
the building cost $4,000, an excess
sive expenditure caused by false rep
resentation by the plaintiff, and be-
cause of this the defendant claims that
the plaintiff is not entitled to receive
anything for his services. The de-
PENDANT still further maintains that
the work done by the plaintiff was
performed in such a negligent, care
less and unskillful manner that the
defendant was damaged far in excess
of any amount due the plaintiff for
his alleged services, and that the al
legged services of the plaintiff were
worthless. Also that the defendant
has fully paid him.
At the return term the presiding
justice appointed an auditor, whose
report at the trial. after being con-
firmed, was introduced by the plain
tiff and relied on by him TO make out
a prima facie case. After taking out
the testimony the case was reported
to the law court for determination
upon so much of the evidence as was
legally admissible.
Justice Hanson holds that the plain
tiff was bound to bring to the per-
Torrance of this contract reasonable
care, an intelligence betting his pro-
