United States Circuit Court

THuRsDAY.-United States VS.. James Veazie In
uictment for making counterfeit money and having
1t IN his his possession. veazie is one armed man
Card was convicted last fall of passing counterfeit
money, and was believed to be the head of gang of
counterfeters. Card moved into the neighborhOod
two years ago and lived within quarter of a mile
of keaZe. After Card arrested last fall lie ac-
cused veazie of making counterfeit silver dollars
which be had in his possession. Search was made
by the United States officers and they discovered
some few pieces of different kinds of metals an old
silver spoon and a few other small implements,
which yeazie claimed he used for running bullets
and for mending tinware. Cards wife and two
daughters testified positively that they knew that
leazie had been engaged in making these dollars
for quite a long period. The case sted mostly on
their ties imony. great deal of interest was taken
ia veazie by his neighbors, as his previous charac
ter had been very good. number of the best cit
liens of Buxton voluntarily came to testify in his
favor. He had never been known to have dealings
of Cards wife and daughters, there nothing to
show that he had. 1t was claimed by the defense
that this was conspiracy on the part of the Card
family TO throw off suspicion which naturally rested
upon them. They also thought as it claimed
that by making Veazie scape-goat they would OBJ
tain a pardon for Card now in the State prison.
The defense showed the imnossib;Iitv of veazie.s
having implements for making this money, and it
was claimed that the dollars were made by neither
of one Harry Hazelton" of New York. A portion
OF the metal, mentioned above. which was found in
zie admitted that Gard left with him. He put it
away in an old bureau a curiosity. 1t claimed
th=tru ard left it there a blind. Veaze testified
y Card was constantly importuning him to man
<lfacture silver dollars telling him that they could
make moulds of plaster of Paris and run dollars
good enough to pass anywhere, but that he refused
to have anything to do with the business in any
way. Veazies previous good character and Cards
notorous1y bad character and the lack of direct
testimony outside of the Card family weighed very
much with the jury. District Attorney Lmt APP
peared for the government. A. F. Moulton and A. A.
Strout appeared for Veaze. Mr.. Moulton made the
opening and Mr.. Strout the closing argument FOX
the defense. The Jury going out last night stood
Al to in favor of acQuittal After an all night
session they finally agreed and this morning brought
in verdict of not guilty.

GRAND TRUNK.
The Strike of the Freightmen.

A dispatch from Montreal Wednesday stated
the proposed freightmen's strike had been
averted. A special to yesterdays Boston Her
aid, however, gives different story
The Herald says:-The freightmen's strike
on the Grand Trunk continues, bat they have
manifested disposition to recede from their
first demand by offering to accept $1.15 in
place in of 1.25 per day, with Is cents per hour
instead of 10 for overtime. The company is
willing to give the best hands 81. 10 and the
others 81, an advance of 10 per cont all round.
The strikers refuse, hover, to accept, and say
they will not take less than their last offer A
few strangers, attracted to the city by the
strike, accepted the company's terms and went
to work, but were intimidated by the discon-
tented to-day and had to leave off Four of
the intimidators were arrested and brought be-
fore the Police Court. After severe lecture
by the magistrate they were discharged OH a
promise not to repeat their offence. The COM
pany is in an awkward fix. as freight is block
ing all the warehouses, and cannot bring men
from other stations, as the movement for high
or wages is general all along the limo. The
men say that year ago, when the great in
crease in the receipts of the company COM
menced they were promised rise in wages,
but that, up to the present time, they have
never received it. They have, therefore, taken
their present course TO force the company to
fulfill its promise. The brakemen who gave
notice of knocking off after mi might tonight
have had their deman for $1.50 per day acced-
ed to, and there will be no interruption in the
traffic. A strike is now threatened among the
dock laborers for an anvance from Is cents to
20 cents per hour, and, as laborers are scarce,
there is little doubt that shippers will have to
give in to the demand Employers of all kinds
of labor, skilled and unskilled, are in very
anxious state, as they consider that the trouble
on the Grand Trunk is only the initiative of a
great movement for higher wages all round.
There is no mistaking the fact that living is
now 25 per cent higher in Canada that it was
twelve or eighteen months since, and vast
number OF employers, especially in the iron
founding trade, recognize the necessity for an
increase to their operatives, and have been
quietly raising their wages so as not to risk a
strike when the shops are overlooking with
work for months to come. Contractors for
public work have also had to concede higher
wages

Board Of Trade.


The regular monthly meeting of the Mana
gers of the Board of Trade was held yesterday
forenoon. The proposition for the erection of a
building in which to hold an industrial exhibit
ton in this city was discussed. 1t is suggeste
that in view of the immense advantage to the
city of such all enterprise the business men
should take the matter il hand A cheap
building. suitable for the purpose. could be
built, in which could be brought together sam
pies of all the various manufacturing indus
tries of the State as well as agricultural ap-
piances and products 1t would not be practi-
cable perhaps to continue the exhibition
through the entire year, but only in tho sum-
mer months when our city is filled with tray
elers from all parts of the country. President
Anderson, Hon. T. G. Hersey, J. p Baxter,
Charles Mclaughlin. Hon. G.. W. Woodman
and j. E. Blabon made remarks on the SUBJ
ject, all expressing themselves in favor of the
project. The matter is to be considered and
talked up with view to seeing what can be
done in the future

THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Asso-
CITATION.
What is Portland Going to Do in the
Matter.

At the regular monthly meeting of the City
Government, held Monday evening, an order
relating to the approaching encampment of
the above named association was referred to
the committee on finance.
The Soldiers and Sailors Association pro-
pose grand encampment in this State the
last week in August. There will be some four
thousand veter ans gathered together on that
occasion. President Garfield, Mr. Blaine and
other prominent men will. without doubt,
grace the occasion with their presence. The
desire to see the President of the United
States will be universal throughout the State.
The doings during the encampment will
prove intensely interesting. There
will be a grand parade; all the militia of the
State and the reserve militia also, will be pre-
sent; and on the last day there will be mock
battle, and a grand assault of some exposed
position.
Already the Maine Central Railroad is
making great exertion to get the encampment
at Maranacook. This is right and proper, but
Portland seems to be the only fit place for
such an affair. The Oaks are we'll adapted
for the encampment. The committee ex-
amined them yesterday and find them just the
thing. There is plenty of excellent hotel &C
commodation here for strangers. The sham
battle and assault could take place on the
fields beyond the Western Promenade, and
the Promenade itself would convenience thou
sands of spectators. Here in Portland, also
the President and distinguished strangers
could be properly cared for. In fact large
city seems to DO the best adapted for an affair
conducted on so grand a scale as this will be-
The railroad and steamboat lines will all come
in for goody share of patronage; in fact
they will have all they can do.
We hope the committee on finance will to-
day invite number Of our leading business
men to meet the committee of the association
and see what can be done to enable the en-
campment. to be held here. 1t is the "early
bird that catches the worm"

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
The Chances Of the Various Candidates
as Seen by Boston Travellers Cores
pOndent.

The Washington correspondent of Boston
Traveller says Representative Kasson, late U.
S. Minister to Austria, has returned and re-
ported formally to Secretary Blaine. He has
come home to enter actively upon the canvass
for the Speakership, and already is laying the
wires to capture the vote of the great West
and Northwest. There are probably some ~
or 40 Congressman in Washington, and these
will probably be interviewed upon the Speak
ership question before many days elapse
1t is conceded on all sideslth the contest is
between four candidates, Reed of Maine, Han
cock of New York, Keifer of Ohio and Kasson
of Iowa. 1t is already pretty well demon
strated that the Western members cannot
unite upon either of the two Western candl-
dates, and that the chances favor the selection
of either Reed or Hiscock, both of whom stand
high in the ranks of the party. 1t is thought,
however, that Mr.. Hiscock has one advantage
in that he has been longer member OF the
House and therefore better known than his
younger competitor from Maine, who came to
the front very rapidly last session as quick
and ready debater and askeen parliamentar-
ian.
"These men are very popular with their;col-
leagues, and it is going to be embarrassing to
some OF the members to choose between them.
While Mr.. Hiscock has the advantage OF hav-
ing seen more service in the House, in all
the qualities that contribute to make a man
popular among his colleagues, Mr.. Reed more
than holds his own. Although in the ordinary
course of affairs the question will not be set
tied for nearly seven months, the conteat Will
be carried on vigorously on all sides during
the summer months. Mr.. Reed will
have valuable aid and advice from his friend,
Secretary Blaine, who will probably be able to
influence many votes.
Gen. Keifer's friends are DESTROYS to have it
known that his nomination would please
President Garfield, but the latter is too shrewd
a statesman to indicate any preference, when
nothing can be gained by SO doing. The fact
Lieutenant General of the army, ana the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, will convince
many people that the Speakership had better
not go to that state, but be given to an Eastern
man
