THE SARDINE SEASON
OPENS AT EASTP0RT, MAINE

the eastern coast of Maine and any
sardine factory can now take fish up
to Dec. /. The Independent sardine
factory Of Blanchard Mfg. Company Of
this city also came in for a small sup
ply Of herring this morning, making
the third plant to commence work,
and steam has been started up in sew
eral Of the other factories so that in
the event of any large catches Of fish
this week there will be other plants to
follow, and it may be possible that by
another week there will be a large
number Of canning factories in .oper-
alton along the coast Of Washington
county.
At the neighboring coast town Of
Lubec small supply of fish was re-
ceived and one of the plants owned and
operated by the Seacoast Canning
Company Of Eastport was open Thurs
day morning, and others Of the Inde-
pendent Gamers have everything in
readiness fer early operations.
At Robinston, Is miles up the st.
Croix river from Eastport, the large
factory owned by the Seacoast Canning
Company is ready for early work and
a supply of fish is looked for before
the week is ended, and there are sew
eral other canning plants at the neigh
boring coast towns, especially at North
I.ubec, Robinston and Lubec that can
be started up quickly or just as soon as
a sufficient quantity of herring can be
secured at the countless number of
weirs down the bay where so many of
the Canadian boatmen are on the
watch for favorable signs.
With the markets cleaned out of
last years stock of sardines there are
excellent prospects ahead for all the
Gamers this season and unless too
many sardines are gathered in the
weirs, and the pack run up to more
than 1000 900 cans for the entire sea-
son on the Maine coast there will be
little danger this fall Of an overstocked
market.
Receipts of herring Thursday were
less than 175 hogsheads. a compare
lively small amount as the capacity Of
the factories when running on full time
is about 1000 hogsheads a day. Prices
ranged from 50 for lots of poor quail
ty and showing red feed to s26 bid
up for the best offered.

Eastport, Me-, April 15.-There was
considerable rejoicing in this city to-
day, when the noises OF the local sar-
dine whistles brought out many Of the
residents for the opening Of the sar-
dine canning season. which runs from
April Is to December l, for it is not
often on the opening day that any large
amounts Of herring are brought here
from the neighboring Canadian fish
weirs few miles down the bay, where
the principal catches are made for the
Eastport canning plants. and it was
thought earlier in the week that no
herring would be caught.
There has always been considerable
rivalry among local Gamers to see
which one would take the first fish and
be the first plant to open, and early
this morning three factories COM
menced operations. although the large
independent plant Of L. D. Clark &
Son at Sea street, owned and operated
by Andrew Clark, a veteran sardine
Gamer, was among the earliest to re-
ceive a boatload Of herring: about 25
hogsheads arriving soon after midnight
Wednesday to be canned just as soon
as the law allowed today. This factory
also received another large boatload
of herring early Thursday morning and
the Clark factory whistle was sounded,
bringing out employees from all parts
Of the city on the run, for there is al
ways much anxiety among former fac
tory employees to get on the payroll
as soon as possible and then figure on
steady work for the balance Of the
sea on.
The large double factory of the Sea-
coast Canning Company, also at Sea
street, was close second to Clark, in
taking fish. in fact, had their first
supply at their factory wharf at an
early hour this morning and were open
for canning just as early as could be
wished for. sc that the honors for the
first opening are equally divided. This
double factory, known as and 5, of
the Seacoast Canning Company, also
received other boatloads of herring
later, and while the supplies on the
opening day were small for this early
part OF the season, it marks the open
ing Of the most important industry on

RESCR|PT FROM
THE Law COURT

The following rescript has been re-
ceived from the law court:
Victor Beaudette ct. al. VS.. Joseph
Martin.
Rescript. Hanson J. Action of as
sumpsit for merchandise furnished to
the defendants wife while she was
! living separate from him. The jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum of s14.6e. The case is before
this court on the defendants general
motion for a new trial
Held. l. The burden was upon the
plaintiff to prove by a preponderance
of evidence that the wife was COM
PEELED to leave her husband because
of his ill-treatment, amounting in law
to cruelty. The testimony introduced
by the plaintiffs from his wife and
daughter who were reluctant wit
nesses corroborated by the testimony
of the judge Of the municipal court
of Bddeford, and the city marshal of
that city established prima facie that
fact.
That having been done, the burden
Of proceeding changed, and it became
the defedant's duty. if he would make
such defense. to introduce testimony
showing or tending to show the con-
trary. This he failed to do. but relied
upon a rigid REORGANIZATION to es-
tablish his rights.
2. 1t is immaterial in cases of the
kind to whom the articles are charged.
If the husband abandons the wife, or
hyr hi %
leave his home, he is liable for her
necessaries and gives her a general
credit to that extent. Such is the
general rule.
8. Where the wife is justified in
living apart from her husband. he is
not discharged from liability by show
ing that her contract was in fact
made without the authority and con-
trary to his wishes, nor will his gen.
eral advertisement or particular no.
tice to individuals not give credit to
his wife affect the case. The legal
presumption must prevail for the
wife's protection. In all such cases
if the husband seeks to escape her
pledge Of his credit, he should not
only provide suitable necessaries
through persons Of his own choice,
but make that provision known to
his wife.
4. Husband and wife in this case
were living apart. There was no ques-
ton as to the articles being among
the necessaries of life, and suitable
to the defendants condition in life.
The controverted questions were all
for the jury. There was evidence to
sustain the verdict, and we find moth
ing in the case to warrant granting a
new trial.
The entry Will be
Motion overruled.
