The new ship John r. Kelley, built by Goss
& Sawyer, which sailed from this port on Sat.
urday last bound for New York, has not yet
arrived at her destination and her being out
and so near the coast during the late severe
and protracted storm, awakened some street
comment about her safety, but her owners are
not the least uneasy concerning her, and do
not look for her arrival at New York for some
days to come. On her arrival she will imms-
diately lay in dock at Brooklyn and load for
San Francisco.
The putting of iron masts into their large
ships is coming into great favor with the firm
of Goss, Sawyer & Packard, and they have
had constructed second set by the Goss Ma
rine Iron Works which are for another big
ship they have on the stocks and which will
be put into the water in about two weeks. She
is Of 2200 tons, named B. +. Packard, and win
be commanded by Captain Waterhouse of
Portland. She will also proceed at once to
New York to load for San Francisco.
At the latter port the last wheat freights
taken up by Bath ships were at 34s direct,
since which none are offering at 3 lower fig

Bath ships, nothing is doing. The latest load
ings were at 52s Cd direct.
At Phippsburg the ship st. Charles, recently
launched by @. V. Minott, and of about 1900
tens, is being rapidly fitted for sea. She was

RAILWAY MATTERS.
The Eastern RailPOad-A Good showing
consolidation Scheme Probably Col
IauseR.

BOSTON, Nov. 2.-The Eastern Railroad has
just closed the fiscal year with gross earnings
of $4,000 900, the largest ever recorded, and
net income, after a payment of per cent. on
the bonds, and'for the purchase of large
amount of new equipment, of $4,000 cash
which under the provisions of the reorganiza-
tion must go toward extnguishing the COM
pany's debt
The Transcript says; sit is improbable that
the lease of the Eastern to the Boston and
Maine will be concluded as at present drawn.
The provision for the Eastern Railroad Com
pany bond sinking fund has not been
adequate and very likely the whole lease az
rangement will go by the board, to begin over
again at some future time. Nearly all of the
Eastern Railroad people are now opposed to
the lease in its present shape. Meanwhile o
feeling in favor of merging the Eastern and
Maine Central is gaining ground and this may
be accomplished before any lease Of the East
ern to the Boston and Maine can be consum-
mated"

DUTY ON RICE.
A Decision of rntercs, to the Brewers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Green B. Raum has
been retained by the dealers in broken rice
who are opposing the efforts of Dan Talmage's
Sons, rice importers of New York,
Charleston and New Orleans, to have the full
duty on whole rice imposed on every grade
but rice flour. Secretary Folger made decis-
ion on this question last spring holding that
grain rice did not fall within the designation
in the new tariff bill of rice cleaned; that it
WAS not covered by the similitude clause, and
therefore liable to duty at 20 per cent. ad valo-
rem. The brewing interests of the country are
opposed to any increase in duty on broken rice,
as it is used in considerable quantities by brew
ers, who mix it with barley malt to give their
beer a light amber color and improve the
taste.
Mr.. Bullock of New York, who has made
large future contracts with brewers based on
the decision now combated by the Talmages,
appeared before Secretary Folger yesterday to
protest against reopenlng the subject The
secretary informed him that the point was
made, that his decision of last April was a re-
versal of former decision on the same sub
ject by another secretary, and this, it was con-
tended, was violation OF the Revised Stat
utes. II he had committed an error, the secre-
tary said, he would have to rectify it. If not,
then his forme er decision would stand The
only way to determine the point was to grant a
hearing.
The Importance Of this question to the trade
will be appreciated when it is known that ac-
cording to the census of 1880, there were only
10000 barrels OF granulated rice produced in
this country, and one brewing firm in the
West took half of this. The increase of duty
asked by the Talmages will amount to about
$1,000 carload, which would practically give
/ the large importing firms monopoly and add
largely to the expense of brewers. There were
| imported into New York during the year 1882
nearly 12,000,000 pounds of rice -four and gran
| ulated rice meal, paying at the 90 per cent. ad
valorem rate duty of about $6OO0O In sup
port Of the retention of the present rate az
| fixed by Secretary Foger's recent decision it
will be argued that the point raised by the
Talmages is of no account, as former decisions
were made on the basis OF laws passed before

PENSION FRAUDS.
Large Fortunes Made in a Few Years by
Dishonest Attorneys.

Dishonest Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--An interview with
District Attorney Corkhill upon the subject of
dishonest pension attorneys and their victims,
is published. Mr.. Corkhill says that for years
the number of pension agents has steadily in
creased until it is estimated there we're in
round figures in the city of Washington six
months age 1000 of them. Many of them
have no offices, merely lock box in the post
Office, and transact all their business at rooms
and through the mails. Others have offices,
but no outside signs. Some who sent out
Haunting circulars are not even known at tie
pension office by the names they use on their
stationery. During the last eighteen months
more than three hundred have been suspended
from practicing before the commissioner and
fully one-half as many disbarred. The busi-
ness methods of three hundred more are now
being investigated.
Mr.. Corkhill says the circulars sent ont by
these agents are designed to encourage claim
ants TO fraudulent representations of disablili-
ties. After drawing their victims into cor
respondence the dishonest agents write to
them once or twice and then ask for dollar
or two dollars to defray postage and stationery
COSTS Ii they have--as many of them do
twenty thousand names on their lists a "milk-
ing OF this nature will bring in from eco
to $4,000.
There are agents in Washington who have
massed large fortuaes in few years. In many
cases, as is now being shown, this mony has
been amassed by practice in which an honest
man wonld not engage and hardly as reputable
as common larceny.
The district attorney says it is the purpose Of
himself aud his associates to break up the
business Twenty-Five firms have already dis
appeared since the present investigation was
begun. Many Of the circulars have been sent

COLLISION AT SEA.
steamer State of Florida aud n schooner
COilide-serious Damage TO Both Ves-
seIs.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The collision between
the steamer State of Florida and the schooner
!. Il. Campbell, from Richmond for Newport,
appears to have been more serious than hrst
reported. Both vessels were badly damaged.
1he steerage steward and carpenter OF the
steameriwereIwi difficulty extrcated from the
debris. Several steerage passengers were
slightly injured and the confusion verged on
panic. The schooner, when last seen, was
endeavoring to make Newport under sail. AT
half past two, the hour of the collision, the
first oficerlwas onlthe upper bridge. There were
two lookouts forward. The night was clear.
The steamer was steering about northwest and
q I esh westerly breeze was blowing across the
port bow. The lookOutS reported sailing yes
sci on the port bow, and 10 few minutes the
Csmpbells lights were plainly seen. From
their position, the steamers people lnade up
their minds that she would go by them on the
left Suddenly, say these witnesses, when in
close proximity to the steamer, the schooner
tackled and attempted to cross the steamers
bows. Too late her steersman saw that ne
had attempted an impossible thing and tried to
sheer off, the result being that his libooom
caught the port halliards and backstay OF the
steamers foremast and tore them asunder
while the boom wassquickly snapped in twaine
Then, with long drawn shock and with crash
OF splintering woodwork and ywrenching and
tearing iron, the strong bowsprit and anchor OF
the schooner tore their way along the port side
of the steamer. The havoc wrought was ex-
traordinary. Fifty feet of iron bulwarks were
swept away like SO much cardboard. The
stanchions supporting the bridge deck amid
ships were twisted and bent until they hnaly
were broken in two; the deck houses ou that
side Of the ship, including two pantries, the
room OF the carpenter and steerage steward
and sundry closets were torn all to pieces. One
OF the strong iron plates sheathing the vessel
WAS broken through, while others wera crack
ed and bent badly. These plates formed por-
tion of the wall of the steerage, the occupants
Of which were alarmed by both the shock and
noise of the collision. A scene of terror fol-
lowed the crash in the steerage. The people
rushed here and there, shrieking with fright,
and it was several minutes before quiet could
be restored by the officers, Who according TO
all accounts behaved in the most commendable
manner. There were some bandaged heads
aud hands yesterday, but the officers Of the
steamer averred that no serious injuries were
sustained.
PROVIDENCE, r. L., Nov. 2.-Schooner Isaac
7. Campbell, Capt. Matthews, Baltimore for
Boston, run into by steamship State of Florida,
from Glasgow, off Fire Island, Thursday
morning, arrived at Newport with loss of bow
spirit, all head gear, with cutwater started and
bulwarks cut down on port side to plank shear.
She does not leak and will proceed.

IRELAND'S AFFAIRS.


n
LONDON, Nov. "A Dublin correspondent
says that of the immediate results expected by
the Orange party from the visit of Sir Stafford
Northcote to Ulster, the chief one was the pre-
mature stoppage of the Parnelite agitation ia
that province. 1t was confidently predicted in
almost every speech delivered at the Orange
meetings, that in the face of those demon
strations of Ulster loyalty" "the rebels"
would dare repeat the Tyrone expert
ment in any other Northern county. The
Orange leaders have proceeded on the lines
they followed in Tyrone, and nothing can we'll
be more intolerant or disgraceful than their
conduct. No one disputes their right to show,
If they can, that "Ulster is not with Parnell,'
bul they have no right to interfere WITH and
break up by force, the meetings of their oppo-
nents. But that is practically what they called
upon their followers to do in Tyrone, and that
is what they still more plainly call upon their
followers to do now in Fermanagh. Placards,
couched in the most infammatory terms, re-
minding the men of the Orange lodges of the
deeds of their forefathers "who lie in their
bloody shrouds on the banks of the Boyne, at
Aughrim and elsewhere" denouncing the
Parnellites as murderers and intending MUIR
derers of peaceful Protestants, and asking the
brethren "to oppose them to the utmost, -
have been posted everywhere in Tyrone, Mona
CHAN, Fermanagh and Armagh. "OrganiZed
opposition" is the significant phrase used to
express what is desired by the grand masters"
and the deputy grand mast ers," and to make
it perfectly plain that physical conflict is in
tended, the opposition meetings are fixed for
the very same place and the very same dates
as those determined on by the invaders"

Cheating Hi. customers.

The Augusta Journal says that Thursday
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Whitney OF that
city went before Judge Andrews and COM
planned that one A. o. Hanlan, travelling
peddler hailing from Portland, had deceived
Mrs. Whitney relative to a shawl, he hav-
ing sold the garment to her the day before, the
lady believing it to be all wool. On further
examination, however, it had proved to be
largely made of cotton. The judge told Han
Ian that If he would receive the shawl back
and return the money he would discharge him.
But the prisoner refused to do this; upon
which the Judge made out warrant against
the man for selling goods without license and
bound him over in the sum of $500. 1t seems
that Hsnlan arrived in town Wednesday, tax
ing quarters at the Cony House and. having
about $1,000 worth of dry goods with him. His
plan was to sally out with limited quantity
of goods on his arm, going from houseIto house.
He has partner who called on the Whitney's
Thursday morning for the purpose of showing
them some overcoatings.
