Pennington Village Corporation Bonds.
1t will be remembered that the case of E. f.
Pillsbury vs. Pennington Village Corporation
which involved the legality of bonds issued by
that corporation in aid of the extension of the
Maine Central Railroad from West Farming
ton to the village proper, was recently tried in
the United States Circuit Court in this city and
a decision rendered for the plaintiff. Shortly
after the receipt of the decision "a corporation
meeting was holden in Pennington and by a
vote of 172 to 70 it was decided to carry the
quent to this meeting, however, the subject
was agitated, another meeting held, the former
vote reconsidered, and by vote of 81 to AZ it
has been decided to carry the case up TO the
Supreme Court of the United States Now a
protest to this last action of the corporation APP
pears in the Pennington Herald, signed by
ever 100 of the leading business and financial
men of the village, as follows:
"a SOLEMN PROTEST"
The undersigned, residents of Pennington
Village Corporation and tax payers therein,
regarding the bonds issued by, and outstanding
against, said corporation issued in strict con-
formity to the votes and instructions OF said
corporation and for which said corporation has
received full and adequate payment and COM
pensation; and believing that the holders of
said bonds and the coupons issued Herewith
are entitled to payment therefor, according
to their tenor hereby protest against any at
tempted reputation of said bonds or coupons;
and hereby avow our desire that the same shall
be paid according to their tenor. And we
hereby protest against any further litigation to
escape the payment of said bonds or coupons.
but cheerfully acquiesce in the decision of the
Circuit Court of the United States at Portland.
And we further protest against being subjected
to any further costs, either as a corporation or
as individuals in contesting the suit which has
been recently decided at Portland
We make this protest against further con-
testing the suit on said bonds or coupons and
ask that said protest may be recorded in the
records of said corporation.
We have no doubt the people of Pennington
will see to it that its fair name is not furnished
by an attempt at reputation of fairly con-
tracted debt, and shall expect to seethe Chron-
icle as well as Herald denounciDg any such at
faY,ant

Fire at the Grand Trunk Freight House.
About half past six o'clock yesterday morn
ing an alarm from box 16 called the fire de-
partment to the Grand Trunk freight house on
Fore street, which was found to be thoroughly
on fire on the inside. The fire caught from
defective chimney in the loft over the office.
1t is thought that it must have started several
hours before it was discovered and smouldered
in the mean while. The building is over 400
feet long and the entire roof on the inside is
charred The smoke and gas accumulated to
so great an extent that when the workmen
opened the door yesterday morning there was
an explosion which broke several panes Of
glass out of nearly every window in the build
ing.
The smaller office at the farther end of the
freight house, the remotest part of the build
ing from the place where the fire caught, was
filed, nook and corner, with SCOT. The beams
and rafters were charred to such an extent
that many of them will have to be replaced.
The wonder is that a particle of woodwork
about the building was left standing. The loss
is estimated at from $500 to $4,000, which is
fully covered by insurance.

The Boston journal says:-In our issue OF
Monday we called attention to the sugar trade
of the country, as made up by the New York
Shipping and Commerce List, and alluded to
the large increase in this branch OF business.
We find in that statement full justice was not
done to the city of Portland, which is an i'm
portant point so far as the sugar business is
concerned. The statement alluded to made
the production OF sugar from moiasses in 1881
only 438 tons, but we are informed that the
Eagle Refinery of that city consumed the past
year 1852 hogsheads of molasses and turned
out 3125 hogsheads of sugar, or 1864 tons, in
stead of 43S tons as published in the Shipping
List returns. This places Portland ahead of
Boston, where the production amounted to
2174 tons, and also ahead of Baltimore, where
the production amounted to 1880 tons. We are
pleased to know that Portland is not losing
ground so far as the molasses and sugar trade
is concerned Last year the season was very
short one, commencing about the middle of
March and ending about the middle of Au-
gust. and under the circumstances 1854 tons is
a good showing for Portland. Considerable OF
the sugar house molasses made in Portland is
consumed by distilleries in this city.

The Overwhelming Revolt Against the Ma
chine i'm New York.

When the election figures of the State were stud
led two years ago, and the grand Republican gains
by which the Electoral vote of New York put in
the Garfield column. analysed. the largest ere
dit for the result fell to Brooklyn. In that city the
most sweeping change occurred. The majority of
10, is2 which Kings County gave Tilien in 1876

tonal Republican gain not to be explained by
the general drift of the State. People songht a
more definite explanation. and found it in the exi--
tence of Young Mems Republican Club which had
attracted TO its membership the thoughtful youth
Brooklyn, and enlisted their enthusiasm and energy
in the fight for Garfield, year later. the value of
this organization fully demonstrates
: The Young Republicans compelled the nomination of
Seth Low for Mayor. and took charge of the effort
elect him. They not only succeeded in eleeting Low
by 3i. but they whitfield the Democratic majority
for the State ticket in the city down to 56 the
Secretary of State, and actually gave the Repnbli
can Judge, Finch, majority. SO much for the
Young Republicans of Brooklyn. by wHy Of history.
Last evening this organization held general
meeting in the Brooklyn Music Hail. There are
some tventy-six hundred members, and almost all
were present. Admission was by ticket only. so
that none voted save those entitled 10 vote. With
unaniinity almost startling with expressions Of
