Fish,


Advices from Eastport last week state that
''all kinds of fish are in light stock. A fair
catch of hake was made, but the fish were
mostly sold fresh or out of pickle to buyers
from the west of us. Sardine factories do
not have fish enough more than half of the
time. Now looks like poor season for the
fisheries"
The storms in the early and later parts of
the week prevented the mackerel feet from
going after fish aud receipts have been light
The southeast storm sent large number of the
feet into this port, and the haroor was full FRI
day and Saturday, very few Of the vessels hav-
ing any mackerel. The prospects, however,
considered good for a large catch
the coming week, as rough weather
was needed to give the waters a shaking up
and drive the fish to the surface. The total
receipts from the feet for the week were 1908
barrels against 15, 800 barrels last week and 49,
933 barrels for the corresponding week in
1881. The demand is not very brisk, but SELL
ers find no difficulty in disposing OF all the
mackerel they have to offer, and prices rule
firm. The jobbipg trade is not up to expecta-
ton, but it is gradually improving, and dealers
feel confident that there will be demand
enough to absorb all the supplies that will
come to hand this season. Jobbing prices rule
at 81 80 per barrel for medium No. 3, $3.50 to
$40 for No. 2, and $13 to $15 per barrel for No.
/, as to quality. The prices paid to fishermen
during the week ranged from Sc to $3.50 for
No. g. SO to $3.50 for No. 2 and $l2 to $13 for
No l. The supply of pickle herring is increas-
ing, but the demand has also started up and
prices are firm. Choice large splits are selling
in iobbing lots at $3.50 to ST, and other kinds
from 1925 to 81 per barrel. Canned mackerel
have advanced to 81 10 to $1.15 per dozen,
owing to the high price Of fresh fish. Canned
Holsters in large lots command $1.30 to $1.35
per dozen.

RAILROAD NOTES.
a New Portland and ogdensburg Con-
nection.

by January first next there will be complet-
% double track road extending from Jersey
oi.y or Weehawken where extensive ocean ter
niinais are underway to Middleton, the pres
ent eastern terminus of the Ontario and Wes-
tern. This road runs to Oswego and there
connects VITA the Rome, Watertown and Og-
oensDurg, which extends along the shore Of
Lake Ontario to Suspension Bridge and Buffa-
70, where the Chicago roads are met. Here
lnere is another trunk line soon to be opened
DetWeen the great lakes and the seaboard. It Is
not very probable, however, that the Ontario
and Western will handle very large traffic,
owing to its high grades, but as 1t is also prom
ised that the New York, West Shore and
Buffalo will be- completed to Syracuse by JAM
LIST, next, this road, in connection with the one
along the south shore of Lake Ontario, will be
ready to commence business between New
York and New England and Buffalo and the
West early next year, and few months later
Will probably have its line between Syracuse
and Buffalo completed and ready for traffic
over its entire line of nearly 500 miles Of rail-
road. This road, competing as it will with the
New York Central at many of its most impor-
tant points, promises to become a formidable
competitor to Vanderbilt's favori to railroad.

The Portland Co will build 100 freight cars
for the European & North American Railroad,
when the hundred nov building for the Maine
Central are completed

ALLEGED FRAUD.
a Boston Merchant Arrested and Placed
in Jail.

Yesterday morning about ten o'clock we'll
appearing man about So years of age, tall, with
dark hair and moustache, stepped into the
Post Office, applied key to box No. 876 and
took out the contents. He was Immediately
arrested by q. S. Deputy Marshals Marble and
Smith and taken to the Jail, where he was
placed in cell. The United States authori-
ties were very reticent In the matter and such
Information az was obtained In the matter was
furnished by the prisoner, who was interview
ed at the Jail by reporter for the Press, and
by outsiders.
About two weeks ago box SIC was leased by a
man in the usual way, and for several days
nothing occurred to excite suspicion. Then
large mails began to arrive from all parts of
the country directed to this box. 1t is alleged,
We understand, that the letters were in answer
to proposals to furnish situations to people, an
advance fee being required. When the fee
was forwarded it was pocketed by the sender Of
the circular. A week ago yesterday very
lA.ge mail awaited the proprietor of the box
aud was taken away by him. Yesterday the
officers watched and bagged their game.
The man arrested gave the name of j. w.
Harris. He says he is large produce dealer
Ia Dock Square, Boston, and is very we'll
known to merchants all over this State. He
says he took $4,000 Of the Portland Water
Loan, and has had good many dealings with
III. M Payson g. Co., the bankers, j. j. Frye,
the pillow manufacturer. and others. He says
he has not been in Portland before yesterday
for five years, and was on his way to Gorham
to buy butter. Just before be left Boston, SAT-
urday, young man entered his store, said he
heard Mr.. Harris WIS coming to Portland, and
was Jout to return le first of the week. Mr..
Harris told him Le was correctly informed.
The young man then handed him the key to
box SIG, Portland post office, asked him to take
out the mail and bring it with him to Boston
on his return. He had merely complied with
his request, and was an innocent man.
1t appears that there was woman came
down on the boat, Saturday, with Harris, and
he left her on the boat while he went to the
post office. After his arrest he sent to her and
she brought him his satchel but it contained
no evidence against him. His story may be
true but it seems weak. 1t is certain that the
letters in the box we're not directed to him, or
to the maa who, he says, gave him the key.
Deputy Marshal Marble left for Boston yester-
day to work up the ease and see if any of the
man Harriss story is true or false. The game
III 1t is the game supposed-which Harris is
playing, has been worked for some time in
Boston but the parties have never been caught.
