AQUATIC.
The Double-scull Championship.

The Herald says the acceptance by Davis
and Kennedy of the challenge issued by Han
Ian and Ross to any two oarsmen in the world
for double-scull race has caused great deal
of comment. That the two Eastern scullers
are i'll downright earnest is evidenced by the
fact that the preliminary deposit of $1,000 on
their behalf has been received at that office
Davis, particularly, had been so long without
match that he began to grow little rusty, and
to use his own language, on reading the chal-
lenge Of the Dominion scullers, he determined
to make match, Kennedy asserting, and
win or be beaten once for ALL" Although the
Portland oarsmen simply accepted the chal-
lenge Issued by the Canadians, they may be in
duced to row two other sculers, if, by any
bubble or objection, Hanlan and Ross decide
not to meet them. 1t may now be considered
settled that Davis and Hosmer will not meet in
match race; not because Davis is unwilling
to row Hosmer but for the reason that, being
man of stern determination, he will always
insist that it is due him, and the interest of
boating, that the existing barrier to match
making between Hosmer and himself shall be
removed, and that'there is only one way to re-
move it. On his return from New York few
days ago Mr.. Davis was asked if, in the event
of Hanlan and Ross declining to row himself
and partner, the acceptance might be consid-
cred to stand as challenge TO other oarsmen.
Mr.. Davis replied that Kennedy and be were
not challenging people, but would not decline
challenge for race in doubles with two
American oarsmen, if there was no engage
ment to prevent an acceptance. Chow would
Riley and Hosmer do?" was asked "We will
not decline challenge from them,' he an
swered, ''if existing objections be removed"
Would the same objection hold against
proposition for double-scull race with Hosmer
and Riley as that which precludes the possibl-
ity of a single-scull race with the lightning
boy?'" ooh, certainly" said Davis; '.if we
are to meet at all, let us begin to keep new
set of books" It is very probable, however,
that Hanlan and Ross will agree to the condi-
tons proposed by the Portland osrsmen.
Davis has endeavored to close a sculling
match with Cobferd, of British Columbia,
without success. Daniel Ceahy, of San Fran
cisco, refuses to row Davis on the ground that,
being policeman, he cannot get leave of abb
sence and couldn't spare time for training if
Davis met him there, and finally wouldn't
make match anyhow.

S cr1bner's Trial.

The trial OF D. W. Scrbner for fraudulent
practice was begun in the Supreme Court Sat.
urday before Judge Virgin. Bion Bradbury
E. M. Rand, A. W. Coombs and H. W.
Gage, the committee appointed by the Cum
berland Bar Association, appeared against
him. Scribner appeared pro Sc.
The ground for the charges-published in
the PRESS at the time-was as folio VS.: The
ophilus B. Morgan, claimed to be entitled as
heir of his brother, John B. Morgan of New
York, to large amount of real estate supposed
to beworth three million dollars. On the 10th
of June, 1879, Mr.. Morgan made written
agreement with Scribner, which is recorded in
the City Clerks office. By this Scribner
agreed to prosecute all necessary suits, in con-
sideration of which Morgan agreed to pay Linn
ten per cent. of the amount recovered from
the supposed estate. Scrbner pretended at
different times to Morgan that he had brought
certain suits in the United States Circuit Court
in the first and second circuits, and that in
those cases judgment had been given in favor
of Morgan. Scribner obtained from Morgan at
different times money in connect ion with
these pretended suits. All these statements
to Mogan are claimed to have been false.
George f. Cary, whose wife is one of the al.
legged Morgan heirs, was called as the first wit
ness He repeated substantially the foregoing
charges. Mr. Scribner cross-examned him to
some extent
Mr.. Theophilus B. Morgan was next calico.
He was questioned closely by the counsel for
the prosecution. The particulars of the fraud
claimed to have been practced on him were
fully rehearsed as stated above
In the afternoon Lewis G. Cary, brother of
Geoge f. Cary. was on the stand. He confirm
ed substantially the previous testimony
John Rrewer, Jr., denied taking the ac-
acknowledgement of an affidavit purporting to
have beer signed by Theophilus B. Morgan
and acknowledged before Brewer, and which
was III the Sunday Sun.
w. ID. Motley was called in behalf of Mr.
Scribner and testified that Brewer in his pres
ence told Mr. Goss that he did not sign the af-
hdavit as magistrate, but that he thought he
subsequently said if he did sign it it must have
been under certain circumstances; what the
| qualification was Mr. Motley said he could not
remember.
MIR. Scribner took the stand and admitted
that ne took the Morgan case with the under
standing that he was to have one-tenth of what
| he recovered for his services, as the written
agreement introduced by the committee shows,
| but he says he was told that such a contract
was legal in New York, where the hearing was
to be had. He admitted that he lied to The.
| ophilus B. Morgan as to the progress which
had been made in the case, but he believed he
| was justified in SO doing; that he found that
whatever was said to him was scattered broad
| cast and he was warned that Morgan was in
| such mental condition that he was liable to
| break down at any time, and SO he tried to en-
| encourage him.
The hearing will be resumed this mornin Q
at 10 o'clock.

the result Next day we are told, large black
dog attacked and threw down little daughter

girl was hurt we did not hear, but if she was
not hurt at all the dog should be looked after.

Report Of the State Prison Inspectors.

HoporL OF tno SLaCo PRISON inspectors.
From the forthcoming annual report of the
Inspectors of Prisons and Jails it appears that
during the last year Or two State Prison has
passed through many changes. 1t has had
three wardens within the last eight months
No private business could be successful under
such state Of things. This should be taken
into account in connection with profit and loss
So far as its running expenses are concerned
the prison has been conducted with economy
The liabilities of the prison Nov. 80, 1879, were
1913, 25015, as near as can be ascertained; and
on Nov. &c. 1880, they we're S64,229.27. About
$4,000 of the debts owing Nov. 80, 1879, are
unpaid. This amount, exclusive of interest,
which is claimed at 6 per cent. per annum.
The debts due the prison prior to April 1, 1880,
and also large part of the stock, may be de-
nominated as very slow assets. Money cannot
be got out of the debts until they are collected,
nor out OF the stock until it is manufactured,
so I'd and paid for.
$40. 900 to pay the old debts Of the prison; no
to live upon its assets, as it has the past year.
