DEVELOPMENTS IN RELATION TO ITS OPERATIONS
WHICH HAVE COME TO LIGHT sINCk THE FLIGHT

Some months ago a number OF circulars were
sent out from this city, signed by Frank Carpen-
ter, Offering for the National printing company 70

the Agents National Protective Association. tho
objects o. which were the mutual advancement OF
the interests OF the members, and directing that

Mr.. M!nnix, clerk In one OF the departments. A
Mr. McMchaels was In charge OF the ofiice for
some time, and in the ofice there some print

Walter Gibbons appeared to be in charge. About
a month since John p. Weigman, a printer,
residing on 9th street, near II northeast
took charge OF the Office, claiming to have pur-
chased the business, the printing office, &C., from
Minnix. For about week he was unable to OBJ
tain the key OF the desk, and naly b rst It open,
when he found a large quantity OF letters from
dupes in every section OF the country directed TO
Frank Carpenter, the most OF them being notifica-
tions that the duped had enclosed the required fee
in each case, but had failed TO obtain the certi-
cate Weigman. II is stated, printed number OF
certlncates which were mailed. About Two weeke

who moved out the printing material and furni-
how he could secure debt OF $50 due him or ono

has left with two children.
Mrs. Weigman resides at SOB 9Th street ne, with

Since Messrs- Walsh, MacVeagh and James gave
their testimony for the prosecution in the star
route cases the prospects OF verdict OF guilty
have materially improved, and there could be no
stronger demonstration Of the fact than the con-
duct OF the defence, especially the vulgar and
offensive tone OF the suppositious newspapers in
which Brady has q controlling interest. Buell.,
who runs these organs or ring opinion, is an
individual who seems to have absorbed good deal
Of Brady's 'gnger" and its fine tonic effect upon
his system is revealed In the vIgOr with which he
collects and applies epithets to the people who
have made OF his owner a defendant In a criminal
case. or course, he would be devoid OF the virtue
OF gratitude IL he made no return for the favors
that Brady has done him; but when man falls
into rant and fury is pretty sure sign that he
has q weak case. Certainly, the ringSters have
not done themselves any good, either in court or
before the public, by coarse denunciatton OF the
government counsel and witnesses The presiding
Judge has openly rebuked them for such publica-
tions In their prints. and Mr.. Merrick yesterday
n0unced that he could cause proceedings for crfmi
nal libel to be taken against them. It does look
as II 1t were hardly worth while to go to SO much
trouble in regard TO a couple Of papers whose In
duence and circulation are exceedingly unimpot-
ant, but the punishment Is meant to be exem-
plary, and the offence has become scandalous.

A Fine Vessel.


Yesterday, at Kennebunkport, there was
launched by Master George Christensen, a
schooner, built ON contract, for Mr. A. M.
Smith of Portland, named the Elsie M. Smith,
in honor of the daughter of Mr.. S. The yes
sci measures 175 tons, carpenter's measure, but
is very sharp and deep, and will probably reg
lister only about 115 tons. She is said to be the
largest fishing schooner ever built in Maine,
and will be in charge of Capt Lincoln Jewett
of Cape Elizabeth, who has proved, in COM
mand of other vessels of Mr. Smith, to be a
most successful winter fisherman. Capt. j.
will take IS or 20 men, and forthwith com
mence to brave the entire winter on the West
ern Banks Such plucky men deserve SO fine
vessel. This schooner is built all Of country
oak, and with extra fastening and care of Mr..
Christensen in construction, she is expected to
be everything needed for a first-cass winter
fishing craft She measures 80 feet in length,
"a feet in width, and 8 feet in the hold
