The Maine Controversy in the Courts.

The Maine Controversy in the Courts.
AUGUSTA, Me. Dec. 10.-The hearing in the
mandamus case of Rev. r. G.. Smith, petition
or, vs.. Edward h. Cove, secretary Of State.
began this morning in the Senate chamber be-
fore Judge Virgin. The chamber was we'll
filled with people. After the reading of the
petition for writ of mandamus to compel the
secretary of State to give access to the election
returns and of the reply of respondent, Cove,
in which he denies that he is at present the L.
gal custodian of the returns, or has been since
October 80, at which time he delivered them to
the governor and council. Counsel for petl-
toners presented the case to the court. He
touched upon the jurisdiction of the court in
the matter, the Jurisdiction of the court over
the parties, citing many authorities
for the issuance of writ Of man
damus in this case, holding that Cove is
the legal custodian of the returns, that the
people have the right to have access to them,
and that the exhibition of them by the governor
is simply ministerial act which he should be
requested to perform.

Louisiana consols, which were shade weaker.
Stocks-The market was strong aud buoyant dur
iEg greater portion of day, and under brisk bust
ness prices advanced 1405}4 per cont. The stocks
most conspicuous in the upward movement were
Cleveland, Columbus & Indians Central, Pacific
Mail, Erie, Wabash, st. Louis Pacific and Hannibal
4 st. Joe. reaction Of A@15s per cent. took
place, the latter in Delaware, Lackawanna Il Western,
but final quotations showed a recovery Of SOS per
cent. and the market closed strong. Ohio & Missis-
sippi rose to 3OS on buying for Baltimore account
but closed at $685. and there talk of an ex-
pectod legal decision favorable to the preferred
stock. Erie was strong on reports that Keene was
buying the stock and the advance was assisted by
news of the opening of the Hoosac Tunnel route
Cleveland, Columbus & Indiana Central improved by
reason of an expected com promise between this
road and the Pennsylvania road, because the de-
clsion of Judge Harlow announced and because
the latter road is now using the Cleveland, Columbus
y Indiana Central for through freight business, thus
increasing the earnings of the line. The advance in
ST. Paul Sioux City was based the fact that the
time is rapidly approaching when quarterly dividends
will be paid on preferred stock. The Graphic says
SIT is understood that Gould, Russell, Sage, and
some other New York capitalists bidders for the
construction contract of the Texas Pacific railway
to extend the road, at $4,000 mile They agree
take stock and bonds in equal amounts in payment
This will give them SS,00o,oO0 Of stock Of the COM
pany, aud in case they complete their contract within
two and half years that will give them control by
stock vote. This offer vii probably be accepted
within few days.

New London Docks.

NEW YORK, April AT to-day's conference
of the Baptist Preachers, Association pro-
position to reopen the case Of DR.. Fulton was
rejected by vote of IS to is.
A reception was given at the city hall this
evening to Capt. Schwenzen, OF the ill-fated
steamer Pomerania, who was miraculously
saved after going down with his vessel In the
English Channel.
The loss by the burning Of the New London
docks is estimated at $4,000; insured for
half that amount. The burned premises
were owned by Geo. +. 2. Pennyman Inc
northern side OF the dock was leased by Law
renee Son & Gerrish, warehousemen, and the
southern half by the Vermont Central Rail
road Company. 1t Is reported that the plum
ber through whose carelessness the explosion
of gas occurred is missing, and probably
burned to death. The general belief, how,
ever Is that he ran away. The pier and
sheds are totally destroyed, and the mer-
chandise damaged SO as to be valueless.
Pennyman's loss is S25.000, Lawrence 4 Co.
$2O, ,OOO, the Vermont Railroad $780, 900, the Long
island Railroad $4,000. The work of rebuild
ing will be commenced Immediately.
