to be very valuable gold ring. The
price the negro wanted for it was $3.50;
but as the young man was not disposed
to pay more than S100 this was accepted
and the ring handed over to the pur-
chaser. Since then the ring has been
tested and found to be worthless. As
this coon may be in the habit of prac-

careful when they make purchases of

Kent COvnly Court.

PROCEEDINGS DURING THE PkEsENr
WEEK.
The Kent County Court met at Dover
on Monday. The attendance from the
county was very large, more than the
court room would properly aceommo-
man Of the Grand Jury. In his address
to them Chief Justice Comegys read the
law relating to the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and charged them very pointedly
in regard to its violations. He said that
four fifths of the criminal business that
was brought before them was directly or
indirectly to be attributed to the use of
intoxlcating liquors, and mostly directly;
that it v as q violation of the law to sell
to minors, to sell or give away liquors on
the Sabbath day to sell to habitual drunk
ards, to sell to be carried of the premises,
and that it was the duty OF Grand Jurors
to prosecute all cases of the violation
Of law, not only the cases gwen in to
them, but all cases coming to their
knowledge through or by other sources !;
that the Legislature at their last session
refused to legislate further on the subject
of the license laws on the ground that we
had sufficient law on the subject if exc
cuted, and urged upon the Grand Jury
and all good citizens Of the State the
execution of the present law.
the case of John Wilkinson, ST., of
Smyrna, was taken up. 1t was for selling
liquor without license, and dates back to
IT. It appears from statements elicted
in the trial that he has been selling liquor
illicitly for % years, but 1t has not been
until the last two years that pubic sentl-
mezt demanded his prosecution. He
evaded the court and was required to
give bail tor his appearance. He again
failed to put in An appearance on Mon
day and the Judge declared his bail bond
forfeited, which will fall heavily on his
securities, James McCarter and James
McClusky. His case was tried In his
abscence, and he was convicted of nine
out Of eleven indictments. The fines
cannot be less than $50 In each case,
which with the costs will amount to 5000
or 500.
Tuesday was spent in the trial of sew
eral cases of larceny and fight between
wo ODlored women of Milford, the lin
dictment being for assault and battery,
with intent to kill. Al
Several absconding witnesses from the
last court were fined S. each with cost
and the Sheriff was instructed to arrest
at any time those who ran away to keep
from, or failed to appear after being sum
moned, and put them under bail or com
NIT them to prison.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
Some Changes to be Made.

During the past year while there has been
some falling off in the Cuba trade at this port
there has been a large increase in importations
from new sources, noticeably of goods in bond
via the New York line of steamers, which are
taken from the roads leading West at New
York, brought to this city and shipped to
Canada via the Grand Trunk. Some of this
same business has been done, though not in so
large degree, by the Portland Steam Packet
Co. While also we have been sorry to lose so
fine line of steam packets as the Allan Line,
the advantages of Portland harbor have brought
here the past year several steamship lines and
extra steamers which have accomplished q
much larger carrying ocean traffic than Port
land has ever enjoyed, so that those who
have thought Portland's end at hand as COM
mercial port, have been grossly mistaken.
During the months from June to November
the business at this port is really slack. 1t is
from November to June the great bulk of traf-
ic occurs. 1t has been customary in the past
to appoint extra outside officers of customs
during the busy season and dispense with their
services at its close. The Collector finds it
also necessary and advisable to somewhat re-
duce the permanent outside force this year
from what it has been in the past, owing to the
indications of a very quiet summer, and there
fore, we understand, six employees will soon be
notified that their services will not be.required
ON and after given date. This is caused not be-
cause of any fault to be found, but simply from
the fact that the retention of so large num-
Der would not be justified with the amount of
business to be done.

John Burns.

We were greatly surprised to learn that Mr..
Burns had deceased. We were aware of his
illness, but had reason to hope that his strong
constitution could safely carry him through,
and that he would be on the street again. We
did hope to receive again the greetings he was
accustomed to give us in our almost daily
meetings, but the fell destroyer pneumonia
had fastened on his lungs and at 11.3O Monday
morning he passed peacefully away. His age
was 76 years.
Mr.. Burns was born in the north of Scot
land. At the age of 16 he went to Greenock,
Scotland, and there learned the business of
sugar making In 1841 he came to New York
and was soon at work for Mr. Stewart in his
extensive sugar works there. After five years
in Mr.. Stewards employ, he went to New Or
leans, engaging in the same business, and also
for a time in Baltimore. He came back to New
York, where he resided until he came to Port
land in 1913. He was engaged by Mr.. J. B.
Brown in his sugar works on York street.
After several years in Mr.. Browns employ he
again visited New Orleans and also went to
Montreal where the built he works of Mr.
Redpath.
Mr.. Burns retired from business several
years since, having by his skill and industry
accumulated a goodly portion of this worlds
his gentlemanliness and courtesy of manner
made him many friends. We shall miss his
cordial greetings. He was always very kindly
in his salutations. His wife departed this life
four years ago. She was most estimable
woman. Four sons and five daughters are left
to mourn the loss of their beloved father. He
was devoted husband and loving parent.
Many friends sympathize with the children in
their bereavement.
