EVERGREEN CEMETERY.
Annual Visit of the City council.

Yesterday was set apart by the trustees of
Evergreen Cemetery as the day for the annual
inspection of the grounds by the City Council
and quite number responded TO the Invitation
OF the trustees. The day was a perfect one,
and the ride to and through the grounds was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The appearance of
the foliage was unusually fine, showing but
| slight effects of worms &C., which during
some years, at this season, have made sad havoc
and greatly marred the general appearance OF
the grounds.
One is struck by the neat and greatly inn
proved appearance of the old Magdalene ceme-
terry grounds, now part of Evergreen ceme-
terry. This improvement is largely due to the
erection of modest but substantial fence on
the Stevens Plains road with gateways for
second entrance. 1t is the intention of the
trustees to extend the cemetery in this direc-
ton to within about 800 feet OF the road, the
remaining ground to be laid out with view
of erecting a cottage and green house on the
north of the entrance, the southern side being
reserved for trees, shrubs, &C., for the genera
use of the cemetery. Passing on to the main
entrance its neat and well kept condition is
the remark of all. This appearance is every
where observed (having entered the grounds)
which is largely due to the careful and con-
slant efforts of Superintendent Duffy, second
ed by the observation and advice of the trus-
tees. We shall notice only few of the MANY
improvements which are constantly going on
in this now most extensive burial place OF the
city.
The good condition of the paths and ave-
was subject of general remark, as was also
the care bestowed upon the trees and shrubs
The plants, both in Towering and foliage, are
looking very fine. especially on the ornamental
grounds in Section Q and in Fount in Valley.
Among the improvements We notice the repair
of the exterior of the receiving tomb; the
grading of a portion of Section s, commenced
last year; the removal Of the tool house at the
rear of the grounds to the base of the hill,
back of the windmill where the same is now
utilized for storage house for water carts and
heavy tools; the erection of neat fence at the
rear entrance from Central avenue; the plant
ing of a large and very fine hedge of spruces
from the office south and west TO Section r,
which, when grown, will present fine appear
anee as well as form most substantial divis-
ion fence.
Among the noticeable and costly works
erected in the grounds during the present sea
son we notice the fine monuments of l.. S. Wy
man, George Warren, j. G. Turkey, d. w.
Nash and j. NJ. Carleton. A fiae monument
is in process of building for Hon. Neal Dow.
Several lots have been ornamented with gran
lite borders, prominent among which is the
Kennard lot.
The sentiment of all present was that of
commentator of the management and its re-
suits, and the party returned to the city much
pleased with the afternoon spent in this city of

filled the office Of tutor, of professor of rhet-
ORIG and oratory, of modern languages, and
of mental aud moral philosophy. We record

THE SERGEANT KELLY CASE.
An Important and Interesting Question

The case of Sergeant Kelly presents to the
court most important and interesting ques-
tion relating to the jurisdiction of the State
courts. 1t was argued yesterday before the
Law Court
Kelly was an ordnance sergeant of the army,
stationed at Fort Popham, and In August last
fatally shot Frank A. Smith. student of Har-
ward College, while Smith was visiting the
fort.
The wound was inflicted inside Of the fort,
and young Smith died of its effects outside of
the fort, and within the jurisdiction of the
State of Maine.
Ii is claimed by the United States through
their counsel, Judge Advocate Gardner, and
United States District Attorney Lunt. that the
mortal wound having been inflicted with al
legged felonious intent, at fort over which the
United States exercised exclusive jurisdiction,
the alleged homicide was committed in the
fort. and the United States has the right to
take cognizance of, and Jurisdiction over, such
offences.
Attorney General Cleaves, who argued for
the State, conceded that had death ensued in
the fort the United States would have complete
jurisdiction.
he claimed, however, that the shooting
within the fort, was not the crime of which
the pr isoner stood charged. Had death not
followed, the prisoner would have been guilty
of an assault and battery within the fort, and
punishable by the United States, but the conse.
quences of the shooting followed young Smith
into Maine, where he died, and that the re-
spondent is criminally liable a. the place of
death, when, from the continuous operation of
the mortal blow, the victim dies in this State.
Mr.. Cleaves argued that Kelly could be here
punished under special statute authorizing
our courts to try and punish the offender at
the place of death, and that it was the real
purpose of the law to hold the murderer crimi-
nally responsible for his felonous acts commit
ted outside of the jurisdiction of our courts,
when from the continuous operation of such
illegal acts his victim dies within their juris-
diction.
The Attorney General claimed that the hom-
icide was within the jurisdiction of Maine, in
violation of the laws OF Maine, and that the
power of our courts to punish the prisoner is
not restrained by the Constitution OF the
United States or the laws of Congress

SAD ACCIDENT.
A Lady Thrown From Carriage at Bar
Harbor and Killed.

Thursday afternoon, party consisting OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Case and daughter, Miss Price
and Miss Lewis, of Boston, and Miss Callie
White Of Bath, all well known in social cir
oles at Bar Harbor, took blackboard to return
home to Bar Harbor. When opposite Presi-
dent Ellott's house, the king bolt broke, and
the horse becoming frightened, started ON fu-
rous run. The entire party, nine or ten in
number, were all, except one, more or less in
jured. Miss Case, died in few hours The
affair has produced most profound sensation
among the hotel guests, especially at the Ro-
dick House, where the party was staying.
Miss Case is lying dead at President Elliott's
house iD Northeast Harbor.
The blackboard, which belongs to Mr.
George Hardy, was entirely reiitted and put in
order last spring, and the rocker, or king bolt,
put in new The board holds ten or eleven
persons, and the strain in descending a hill on
this little bolt is enormous. When 1t broke
tho horses veered at once toward the rightland
instantly dashed all the occupants with terri
BILE force, upon the solid rock of the road bed.
Miss Mabel Case, second daughter of Mr.. j. P.
Case of Boston, had her neck broken, and sus-
tained other injuries, sufficient of themselves
to have killed her, and she died in less than
three-quarters of an hour. Immediate word
was sent to DR.. Longstreth of Philadelphia
Jefferson Medical Institute, who always sum
mers at Bar Harbor, and the mother Of the UNI
fortunate girl, but they arrived too late
Miss White, daguhter of Mr.. Francis White
of Baltimore, had her arms broken in several
places, and her wrist crushed.
Mr.. Case was severely cut about the head
and body, and injured in the knees.
Miss X. C. Pierce, daughter Of Mr.. N. w.
Pierce of Roston, was also injured in nearly
the same manner.
Miss Lewis, daughter OF Mrs. f. e. Lewis,
was the least injured OF any in the party. and
both she and Miss Pierce have been brought to
the Rodck House, at Bar Harbor.
The other three daughters of Mr.. Case were
injured severely about the head and body, be-
ing shockingly bruised in the knees and lower
parts OF the body.
Dr. Longstreth, on being intervied, said:
Nothing can be told of the extent and perma-
nency of the injuries. All I can say il they
are very seriously injured, and l look especial
" for serious results from the severe brain con-
cussion they received. Their heads and bodies
are covered with terrific welts, and are black
from the terrible bl9ws they received. The
check must have been something tarriicp
