MAY CRIMINAL TERM. 1S76-sYMoNDs, j., PREsIl

MAY CRIMINAL TERM 1875-sYMONDs, j., PRESID-
MoNpAY.-In our report of Saturday it should
have read that Michael Hogan on an Indictment for
nuisance, paid fine Of tour hundred dollars instead
of one hundred.
State vs. William j. Keelan Indicted at this term
for the larceny of two fifty cent pieces and three
twenty-five cent pieces of the fractional currency OF
the United States from the person of John O'Daniel
in April last.
O'Dauie is eighty-two years old, partially blind,
and was on his way back from Nova Scotia where ne
had been to see his dying daughter. He had walked
from Nova Scotia to Waldoboro, not having money
enough to pay his fare back to Marlboro, Mass,
where he lives, and on arriving at Waldoboro some
kind citizen took pity on him and collected enough to
purchase him ticket for Boston and give him be-
tween three and four dollars besides On his arrival
here he stepped into the saloon OF DOWNWARD on Com
ercial street to get something to eat and while sit
ting there he began to count his money. While thus
engaged the defendant partially intoxicated, came
in and offered to shake hands with the old man. At
ter few words O'Daniel, holding his money in one
hand. gave his other to Keelan. After shaking him
nv tbe hand Keelan snatched the money from his
hand and ran from the store.
The defence was that offence, neither at common
law nor under the statute set out in the ndict-
ment and that the government had failed to prove
larceny of the fractional currency described in the in
dictment and had failed TO prove that 1t was genuine
The respondent did not take the stand. verdict
guilty. Counsel for respondent gave motive that he
should file motion in arrest Of judgment
Libby, County Atty. ,.e,.
This closes the criminal trials for this term. Civi
trials begin tomorrow.

A New md Valuable Invention.


A new and improved loom for weaving cloth
of every description has lately been invented
and patented by Frank II. Jordan, ESQ.,, of
this city, and Mr.. John M, Linscott of West
Buxton. Our limited space prevents more than
brief description of this valuable invention.
The loom works almost upon an entirely new
principle from any in common use, and it has
several novel features which will serve to re-
commend it to all interested in this class of
machinery. The shuttle instead of being thrown
by the motion of picker sticks, as in the ordin-
airy loom, is passed upon arms through the
warp, thereby insuring uniform backward
and forward passage. 1t is simple in construc-
ton, and is so arranged that it will automatic
cally lock and unlock as it passes from the end
of one shuttle arm to the other. The mechan-
ism for operating the machine is such that the
motions of the lay and shuttle are of positive
and controlled character, and the violent throw
of the shuttle occasioned by the employment of
the picker sticks in the looms in common use
is entirely avoided.
Three distinctive features are claimed for
this invention; first, the mechanism by which
the lay is operated second, the mechanism for
passing the shuttle; and third, the shuttle it
self.
The invention has already attracted the at
tention of several prominent manufacturers of
cloths in this and other states. 1t has been
pronounced by competent judges to snpersede
anything of the kind in operation, and already
several liberal offers have been made for inter-
ests in the patent; but the owners realizing
that they have good thing, do not feel in
hurry to dispose Of it.
Any parties who may feel interested in the
invention by calling on Mr.. Jordan, at the office
of Clifford & Clifford, 1870 Middle street, can
receive full information in relation to its con-
struction aud operation.

RAILROAD NoTEs AND RUMoRs.-It is stat
ed in railroad circles that the directors of the
Eastern Railroad have rejected the proposition
for "pooling" the earnings from traffic of the
Maine Central and other roads.
Railroad men express doubt respecting the
immediate narrowing of the gauge of the Eu-
ropean & North American Railway. 1t will
cost 100000 to change the gauge of track and
rolling stock.
There is fresh interest In a project to ex-
tend road from Houlton to PresQue Isle
Experienced railroad men speak we'll of the
proposed enterprise
A Maine Central director recently expressed
a regret that ex-President MorrilPs annual re-
port reflected so unfavorably upon Coy. Ding
lev. ''It was rather tart said he; "rather
more of a Tartar than could wish.''
A friend of the Penobscot Bay & River iail-
road project recently urged leading Maine
Central man to use his influence to induce that
company and the Eastern to aid in building the
''shore line giving as reason that with the
good will of the proposed line,the Maine Cent
raj and Eastern could have the Legislature per-
petually. Maine Central preferred dividends
to legislatures.
1t is said that the recent rise in Eastern
stock was due to the fact that the part of the
board of directors having confidence in the
good results of the "pooling" scheme, made
quite extensive purchases of stock, causing it
to rise. When they saw that the project was
likely to fail they ''unloaded'' which resulted in
the present quotations.
No railroad buildings going on in Maine at
present.
A railroad man says of the proposed Lake
Megantic scheme that it is an instance where
the distance across is longer by 80 or 60 miles
than to go round
Levi L. Lincoln, ESQ.,, recently Superinten-
dent of the Maine Central Railroad, has been
appointed General Agent of the Boston and
Maine Railroad, and has entire charge OF all
Boston g. Maine Railroad business on the
Maine Central line and its connections.
The Maine Central is layinga double track
from the upper iron bridge in Waterville to the
station so that the Bangor train can run in in
dependently.
General Freight Agent Berry of the Eastern
Maine Central has been spending the past few
days in the towns of the Upper Kennebec see
ing the people and making freight contracts
with various manufacturers for business over
that line. Business men are we'll pleased with
the prospect.

A LARGE LAND CLAIM.-About forty years
ago the late William Boyd owned large guam
tity of land on Munjoy Hill Mr.. Boyd having
fallen into financial embarrassment, the land
came into possession of the late Thomas War
rem by attachment. He afterwards soidlt TO
Thomas Jones, of whom it was subsequently
purchased by William Aoyt. Up to this time
il was open field, but Mr. Hoyt divided it up
into bouse lots, had streets laid out, and put
xba land upon the market. 1t was built up,
,bere being now on it from $50 to 200 residences
and other buildings, including the Methodist
church. The owners held their property by
warranty deeds. But since the death OF Mr.
Bovd. his widow claims that the taking OF the
land by attachment did not debar her from tne
right to the widows dover, and she never nav
ing signed any papers destroying her r'gn'S'
lays claim to them.
1t appears that the late Robert BOYD, Esq"
left several large parcels of real estate. Wheh
his son Robert and John became embarrassed
Mr.. William Boyd was one of the endorsers'
and the property was seized and sold under the
attachment. None of the wives relinqulshed
their right Of dover. and consequently there Is
