FRIDAY, August III

AubuSl
In the case of spaulding given to the Jury
at the adjournment yesterday they returned
a verdict of guilty this morning.
Eben Dow on two indictments for cheating
by false pretences plead nolo contendere,
and the judge after hearing favorable repre-
sensations by the friends, sentenced him on
one to 80 days in the county Jail. ...
case Of considerable interest was opened
to the jury wherein David McDuffie and 9TH
ers of Pittston, were charged with nuisance
in obstructing the principal street in that
town, by erecting an ice house. From lapse
of time it was found difficult to prove the ex.
act lines of the street in controversy, either
from the record, location or by user. The
Judge advised that the case be withdrawn
from the jury and referred to the County
Commissioners to determine the lines, and
that course was adopted.
Mary Leonard Of Hallowell insisted on be-
ing tried by a jury for selling pint of Medford
rum. She was INDUCED in this respect, and
the jury took such view of her defence that
she was given the choice of paying fine of
$50 and costs of prosecution, amounting to
Sl2 more, or take lodgings with Sheriff
Thompson. At first she declined to do
either, and gave the officer who had her in
charge a taste of an Irish row to the delight
of the spectators. But she found the COM
bat too unequal and forked over the cash.
John f. Avery of Whtefield, late a law
student in the office of VIM. p. Whitehouse,
Esq, was on motion of that gentleman ad-
mitted to practice in the courts as an at
torney and counsellor at law.

THE BUFFALO RACES.
Goldsmith Maid makes tho Fastest
Time in Three Straight Heats on
Record.
10000 Persons in Attendance.

Buffalo, n. Y, IL. The third annual
meeting of the Buffalo Driving Park closed
to-day, Goldsmith Maid making the fastest
time in three straight heats on record, by
quarter of a second. Over 10000 persons
were on the grounds. The 40 race proved
unexpectedly interesting and exciting, Judge
Brigham, comparatively new horse, making
a splendid record, winning the race in four
heats, and making the first quarter in thirty
one seconds, and the middle half in ;06.
Immediately after the race, Judge Brigham
was bought by George c. Hall for $1,000,
for Jay Gould, who says that 100000 will
not buy him. Judge Brigham is bay stall
lion, years old, by Risdicks Hambletonian,

In the 2 40 race thirteen horses entered,
and six started Denmark, Logan, Huntress,
Long Branch, Sentinel, Ed. Higgins, and
Clara G.. Ware drawn. Over three quarters
of an hour was lost in scoring before they
got send-off Judge Fullerton took the
lead and kept it in the first heat. The three
following straight heats were won by Brig

ham. After leaving the half.mile pole on the
last heat Brigham broke, Fullerton shooting
20 lengths ahead, but Brigham came down to
a trot, overtaking Fullerton at the 3-4 post,
and coming in half length ahead. The
purse was $4,000, Judge Fullerton taking the
second money, $1,000, and J. II. Burke the
third, 500. Time :25 81; 2 90 Ia;
9 :26 IL.
In the great race of the day, Goldsmith
Maid trotted three straight heats without
skip or break until the last heat, when she
was crowded from beginning to end by Lucy,
who Tapped Der throughout, after one OF the
most contested heats ever witnessed, and
then she only made two quick breaks, one at
the stand and one on the home stretch. On
coming to the stand on the second heat the
left rein of Goldsmith Maid broke and the
mare started to run, when Budd Doble, her
driver, performed an astonishing feat by
Selling the back-strap, jumping astride her
back, Selling the check rein, and bringing
her to stand still before she had gone many
lengths beyond the stand.
SUMMARY.
A purse of $1,000 for all horses, $4,000,
$500, and $500, and $500 additional to the
horse making the fastest time, providing it

Investigation of the Railroad Accident at Vassal.
bore.
An examination of the train men immediate
" connected with the railroad accident at
Vassalboro' on Monday, has been held in this
city by Mr.. Levi L. Lincoln, Assistant Super
intendent of the Maine Central. At the
hctation of Mr.. Lincoln, Hon. S. I. Corser
of Portland, one of the Railroad Commission
ers, was present, and assisted in the investi-
CATION. From the testimony, which we deem
unnecessary to publish in detail, it appears
that the conductor and engineer of the special
train are greatly at fault, and that some de-
gree of blame must rest upon the conductor
of the regular train that was standing upon
the track at the time of the accident. 1t re-
veals the fact that the men running the extra
train did not exercise proper care, and did not
have their train under control. The conduct
or of that train did not take the precaution to
look out for the regular train, which he knew
was standing upon the track. His was an ir-
regular or special train, and according to the
standing, printed rules, under which he was
SuppOSeu u pc dCtihSs ShouiN 'i"'N hNPe Nte
of the way of all regular trains. The engineer
of the same train is also at fault for about the
same careless inattenton to duty; and the
only excuse that can be offered in his behalf
is the slippery condition Of the track, and his
miscalculation ofdistances and the momentum
of the train. The engineer states that he got
the idea from previous conversation with the
conductor, about the stopping place for water,
that the train was to make no halt at Vassal-
boro but was to pass on to the next station
The conductor of the regular train is blamed
for not sending back signals to the approach
ing train. No fault is found with the brake
men, who seem to have discharged their duty
faithfully, After. hearing the testimony and
consultation with MIR. Corser, Mr.. Lincoln
Immediately discharged from the employ of
the company, j. G. Fairbrother of Skowhe-
gan, the conductor of the special train, and
John j. Nichols of Portland, engineer; and
suspended from duty Mark Waterman, con-
ductor of the regular train. This prompt ac-
ton will receive the approval of the public.
