The Bond Business Again Before the Supreme
Court.

The paper book in the case of David 4. Sc
combe vs.. Charles Kittelson, state treasurer
Of Minnesota, was fled in the supreme court
lass week. l. will be remembered the plsia-
lifts petition was refused in tho Minneapolis
district court by Judge Lochren, and Mr.. SIS
comte appeals his cas3 to the supreme
court In his prayer, after rcciting the settis-
ment OF the bond bu sinees, aud the temporary
injunction against tho governor which was not
needed, Mr.. Secombe says:
The governor of the state, in vic ton OF the
sa! witt, did sign and cause to be sighed by the
secretary of state and state auditor, and deliver
10 sundry persons, in accordance with said act
Of the legislature. new bonds to the amou. t Of
81, 100000. That the defendant in the action,
Charles Kittleson, treasurer Of the state, is
about to pay the interest on these bonds.
Wherefore on the ground that tho eail act OF
tho legislature ia Unconstitutional and void,
and on the ground that the bonds
were signed, sealed and delivered in
violation Of the said writ of Injunction and in
contempt Of this court, the plaintiff demands the
judgment of this court restraining and tnioin-
ing the said defendent from paying any interest
upon any of tie nsW bonds of the sts te, or from
paying any coupon atto ched thereto; and the
plaintiff demands such further or other relief
as may DO equitable and in accordance with
good conscience: and the plaintiff further de-
mands the issuance OF 4 temporary writ Of ill.,
junction Of this court of the same tenor and eff
feet as above demanded.
The question will probably be argued before
the supreme court in April.

A Dazed Fireman Causes an Accident.

A railroad accident from most singular
cause which no railroad in the country could
have guarded against, occurred Monday night
at IL 80. At Watab, on the Northern Pacific,
NJ: ID freight train, south bound, was on the
siding, with switch properly thrown for the
main track, with signal lights set, aud showing
that everything was right The engineer and
conductor had gone to lunch leaving the loco
motive in charge OF the fireman, as q precau-
tionarv measure against any outside mischief
After while, the whistle Of the locomotive of
the west b md passenger train, that left St
Iau| at 1880 p: M: sounded along the line.
The fireman Of the freight engine, jumped and
ran to the switch aud under the full glare of
the headlight Of the passenger engine, threw
the switch over to the side, 80 that the passen-
ger locomotive went pell nell into the f.eight
or course there was smash up of engines and
some freight cars, but luckily none Of the
passengers were injured What could have
prompted the Fl eman to open the switch ia
mystery. Possibly he was asleep aud being
awakened by the whistle had faint idea he
must do something to avert danger, at any
rate.

The Stoddard Lectures.

John l.. Stoddard sailed on Saturday for
Europe per the Inman steamer City of Rich
mond. He will spend several months in travel
and observation, gathering material for his
new lectures to be given next fall and winter.
His specific localities for lectures have not yet
been decided upon but will depend upon his
impressions as he travels. An important por-
ton however that has boon fixed upon will be
his lectures upon the Netherlands and the
Scandinavian Peninsula. Norway and Sweden
have long boon the summer pleasure haunts of
English tourists, but so little has general travel
been turned in that direction that at the out
set Mr.. Stoddard found that there was almost
nothing here or in Europe of illustrating views
that would meet his standard. Characteristic
enterprise has overcome this difficulty in a
way that will give pre-eminent value to
these lectures. Mr.. Stoddard has taken with
him Mr.. j. W. Black, an eminent photo
grapher, whose skill Is recognized all over the
country, by whom Photographic views will be
made of all desired places. In this way only
could Mr. Stoddard secure the coveted repre-
sensations of the famous fiords of Norway, its
wonderful water falls, the curious effects of
the midnight sun of the far north with which
his lectures on this region will be illustrated.
Other points of description and illustration
will possibly be found in France, in by-ways
and beautiful bu comparatively unfrequented
places in Switzerland and in London. Mr..
Stoddards progress during his travels will be
watched with interest.

A Court of Apnaals.

Senator David Davis's bill to establish a
Court Of Appeals, now before the Senate, pro-
vides for the establishment in each Of the nine
judicial circuits of the United States of court
of appeals, to have appellate Jurisdiction OF all
cases arising in the several circuits and judi
cial courts within those circuits, respectively.
This court of appeals shall consist of the JUS
tice of the Supreme Court assigned to the cir
Gait and of the Circuit Judges and two of the
District Judges thereof, to be designated by an
order of the court at each term to serve for the
next term. Writs of error and appeals from
final judgments Of any Circuit or District court
within the circuit may be taken to the Court of
Appeals whom the amount in controversy ex-
ceeds $500, except in cases Of bankruptcy, Of
which there shall be no review. The court of
the first circuit is to be held at Boston on the
first Tuesday in November next, and on the
second Tuesdays in May and first Tuesdays in
November thereafter. Two additional Circuit
Judges are to be appointed.
The bill is very long, and Judge Davis ex-
planned every sentence with great precision,
showing as he proceeded that the establish
ment OF the Court of Appeals ould relieve
the Supreme Court from the pressure upon it.
The bill went over, but there are indications
that it will be passed this spring.

Death of James e. Aubrey.

Mr.. James Edward Aubrey, who has played
the trombone so accsptably in Grimmer's thea
tire orchestra for the past season, died at the
residence of his father on Casco street Sunday
evening. He had been afflicted with lung
trouble for some time but the immediate cause
of his death was a severe attack of pneu-
monis.
Mr.. Aubrey was "a years Of age. He first
learned to play tho trombone in saco. some i've
or six years ago, and soon became proficient
Hesplayed in an orchestra at the Old Orchard
house two seasons and while there he met with
serious accident In attempting to jump
from train he wrs thrown under tbs wheels
and lost leg. For the past two seasons he has
played in the theatre orchestra. Last summer
he went to New York and after passing rigid
examination was admitted a member of the
New York Musical Union. He was member
of the Philharmonic orchestral society of this
city. 1t was universally conceded that he was
by far the best slide trombone player in Maine.
Mr.. Aubrey was of genial disposition, q
thorough gentleman and fayorite in the mus
ical profession.
His funeral took place at the cathedral Of the
Immaculate Conception yesterday afternoon,
Rev. T. p Linehan officiating. Tho pail bear
ers were Messrs. G. M. Brooks, Charles F.
Jones, Frank L. Collins, Frank Moore, A. L.

DOWN TOWN.
Financial-The ECarriage Trade-Railroao
Freight Receipts-pear Beef-The
Decline in Corn-Corners in
Grain-Gas and Water
in the Government
Buildings.

There was rather more animation IN local
money circles yesterday, but there were not
changes worth noting. In Boston 1t was rep
etition of the daily report for the past week
money easily obtained at low rates on first-class
securities Government As were higher, but
the other denominations had declined slightly.
The stock market was dull and irregular.
The city trade in carriages and harness may
be regarded as prosperous, though the cold and
gloomy weather of April retarded sales and
reduced the amount of business below the gen.
eral average for the month. A few bright
warm days, however, will stimulate activity
and diminish the stocks in the hands OF deal
ers and manufacturers. Notwithstanding the
temporary dullness, they admit that they
are fully abreast of last year in the volume OF
trade. The business has grown in this city
very sensibly within the last five years, and 1t
is claimed that more carriages are sent abroad
from Portland than ever. A good years work
is therefore looked for. No novelties
will be put upon the market by our manufac-
turers, but new patterns, modified outlines
and internal improvements of standard favor
ties have been adopted, and SO far as they have
been exhibited to the trade they have been
much admired. Great attention, too, has been
paid to the heavier class of work. such as fami-
~ carriages, and so far as these have been
placed in the salesrooms of the large cities they
do not suffer by comparison with the makes OF
the most famous houses ia the country. The
lighter classes, particularly covered pleasure
carriages, give the warerooms very attrac-
tive appearance, and the stock of buggies and
light wagons for business use is quite large
The dealers tell us that Maine-made wagons
stand fairly in the market by the side of the
products Of Massachusetts shops, though there
is not quite SO much money in the former as
as there is in the latter The demand for
harness this spring is very satisfactory Con-
cord work is popular among those who want
high-priced article but ordinary Maine work
sells we'll for everyday demands One dealer
has just made contract for 500 of special
pattern to meet the wants of his customers;
and the price at which harness is offered APP
pears extremely reasonable. The call for rid
ing saddles, we are told, is increasing. There
is a fine stock in the market and the prices att
tached appear to be low.
The freight receipts of the Grand Trunk
Railway at Portland for the past four months
are tabulated as follows:
