Sugar and Molasses.

The Boston Journal says: 1.-THE advices
from Cuba state that only few estates near
Gibara and Puerto Principe continue grinding,
and the crop just over has been quite unfavor-
able to planters, regarding both the quantity of
sugar imade and the prices obtained for the
parcels heretofore Sold Stocks OF all the ports
of the island are fast decreasing, and it may be
said that the greater part Of lois of desirable
classes have by this time passed into speculat-
ors' bands, whose efforts to advance prices
have SO far proved unsuccessful.
"In this section the total stock in four ports
in all hands July was 1853, 1863 tons against
1886 tons on June l, and 1877 ,0o8 tons July /,
1882. Importers stock Increased 26,803 tons
during June, and refners' stock decreased 20,-
73l TONS The excess of total stocks in all
hands on July was 81 ,S55 tons against excess
OF 26,913 tons in importers hands alone.
"The past has been very quiet week for
molasses, and in boiling and grocery grades
very little mas been DONE Common and choice
Porto Rico ranges from 80 to 30 cents per gal
lon and Barbados SO to 38 cents per gallon.
Boiling grades, 80 test, are nomnally 20 cents

The Kittery Navy YARD.
Concord Monitor.)


The Portland Press urges the abolition OF the
Kittery navy yard, and says the sooner it is
abolished the better for the politics OF western
Maine in general, and the politics of York
county in particular. 1t might have included
the politics of eastern New Hampshire and not
have been far out Of the way.
(Kennebunk Starr
Elsewhere We present the pro and con in re
Kittery navy yard. There is to be cutting
down Of expenses in the navy department, and
in order to secure this curtailment some of the
navy yards, in the opinion OF the board of ex.
aminers, should be closed, while it is recon.
mended that Kittery yard be kept open only
for the repairs of wooden ships.
The question has arisen whether 1t would
not be better to abolish the yard altogether, and
it Is argued In the negative by the Biddeford
journal. while the Portland Press argues af-
firmatively and sustains its side with strong
reasoning.
1t is undeniable that the yard is a potent fac
tor in York county politics, and the vote-buy-
ing methods there employed are discreditabe
in the extreme. But while this is true. the
Journals position that If there is need of but
one yard, the Kittery yard ought to be that
one , is worthy OF serious attention from head
quarters, and when considered we think IL
must be found tenable. The conveniences are
ample; the yard is fully equipped with every
thing needed in the construction or repair OF
vessels; labor is plenty and can be had at fair
wages, and there is an excellent barbor. 1t
has always been regarded as one Of the best
yards the country possesses.
In the present condition of our alleged navy
there can hardly be more work than yard
can handle, and every additional yard Is an un-
necessary expense. II, after careful investi-
CATION into the merits of the different yards,
the one al Kittery be deemed the best, then let
1t receive all the work; otherwise let IL be
abolished. Few York county people will
mourn Its loss. 1t is a curse as well as bless
ing, and we are not sure but there is moe OF
the former element than the latter.

The Buckfeld Robbery.

Last nights Advertiser has the following on
Detective Wormell's theory in regard to the
robbery of Mr.. Cole of Bnckfield:
Detective Wormell OF Bethel, has been in
vestigating the robbery by which Mr.. Albert
Cole lost $780, at Buckfeld, last spring. Mr..
Cole, it will be remembered, was dealer in
fruit trees, who came hone with this large
sum of money in his pocket-book, which was
in the inside pocket of his vest. He left the
vest on chair in bis bedroom. When he
awoke in the morning it was found that the
house had been entered during the night, Mr..
Cole had been chloroformed and the mony was
gone. Wormeli having failed TO find any clue
to the robber, has been inclined TO the snspi-
cion which usually occurs TO detectives under
such circumstances. He has limited that there
may have been no robbery at all. He has
made 40 written report, but lang statement
appears in the PRESS this morning, evidently
derived from him and described as his report.
The only portion of Mr.. WormelPs state
ment which is of the least significance or i'm
portance is his assertion that Mr.. Cole owed
$4,000, and had only the missing So, 900 to
pay with If this were true, he might have
had motive for pretending to be robbed. 1t
would still be necessary to show by some direct
proof that the robbery was sham, and that
Mr.. Wormeli has not done. The circumstan-
ces which be mentions are utterly trivial land
Insignificant. Furthermore, he Is mistaken in
the groundwork and basis of his theory. Mr..
Coles debts, altogether, did not amount to
$4,000. He was not insolvent. He mad So 600
ia cash in his pocket. Furthermore he had a
considerable sum of money coming in from his
agents, and he owned real estate upon which
he could readily raise money. In fact he has
raised money since the robbery and has met all
his maturing liabilities.
There is then no foundation for the opinion
that he pretended to be robbed. He had no
temptation to invent such story. He was a
successful, prosperous man, and had only to
keep on as he was going to acquire a compe-
tence. Furthermore, he was man who had
earned and enjoyed the entire confidence OF
the community. His neighbors know him to
be an honest man. There is no man, they say,
who was less likely to commit a fraud of
this kind. 1t seems, therefore, that Detective
Wormell has committed a very common error.
Finding no trail, he has endeavored to con-
struct theory which would account for the
lack of a. trail and has failed.

Sat,Irtlav's Shower.

The lightning struck near Oscar Skillings'
house in Knightvlle, Saturday night, pros
trating Mrs. Skillings, but not seriously affect

RAILWAY NOTES.
Trouble Between the Trunk Lines and
the Grand Trunk.

The trunk lines have at last taken steps to in
quire into the reasons which are giving the
Grand Trunk the large proportion of the ex-
cursion traffic 1t is enjoying.
Itsappears that the Eastern lines have be-
come considerably alarmed over the large
amount of excursion business the Grand Trunk
has carried thus far this season. The Grand
Trunk has secured the bulk of this class Of
business because 1t has made lower rates in
connection with the Western lines than have
the New York trunk lines. 1t could not be
prevented from making such rates as 1t liked
because it has never joined the Eastern pas
senger pool. The other Eastern lines, being
in the pool, could take no action individually,
and consequently joint action had to be taken
in the matter. The trunk lines evidently do
not know what rates the Grand Trunk has
made, or is now making, ON the east-bound
excursion business, and for this reason they
request the Western lines in competition with
the Grand Trunk to advise the commission OF
the rates made by the Grand Trunk and its
Western oonnec tions, so that they may be
able to meet the competition. 1t is quite
probable that this natter will yet lead to con-
siderable tronble, as the Grand Trunk will no
doubt reduce its excursion rates still further If
the trunk lines meet the rates it now makes.

Wingless Grasshoppers.

We are informed, says the Lewiston journal,
that an immense army Of wingless grasshop-
pers have appeared on the farms OF Messrs.
Joshua Lambert and Hackett, ON the river
road, Durham, and Of William Dingley, next
above in Auburn, and that they are eating all
before them-grass, grain, potatoes and corn.
What is singular, hardly any grasshoppers are
found on the farms adjoining. These grass
hoppers are q wingless variety, and have made
their appearance on the farms in small num-
bers for three years, but this year they are
legion. They are sluggish in their movements,
and in some places almost blacken the ground.
1t is feared that they will destroy all the grow
ing crops and vegetation in that locality.

The above copy of a claim which was audit
ed and paid by the State officials of the State
of Massachusetts, records the names of some of
the soldiers who took part in the battle of
Bunker Hill which should be published that
their names may go down to posterity. The
common soldier does the work Of the battle
encounters the hardships of the field, and
perhaps lays down his life. His work is done,
and then he is forgotten by all but few sur
wing friends. The officer in command, if
successful, gathers the honors and the historian
records them. Many of these soldiers have
descendants in Maine. Col. VIM. Prescott
was born Feb. 20, 1925, in Grcton, Mass. and
had some military service previous Mayor
Greene of Boston, and Robert G. Winthrop,
both reliable historians, claim he was the COM
mander of the forces at the battle. Other re-
liable historians differ and do not accord him
that position. From what have been able to
CLEAN 1 am inclined to the opinion that it was
kind OF town meeting fight. Every officers
company fought on their own hook. Col. Pres
colt held a command in Shay's Rebellion in
1851; died on his farm in Pepperell. Mass, 18th
October, 1875, and was barred with military
honors. A statue representing him was erected
on Bunker Hill, and was unveiled June II, ,
1881, and r. c. Winthrop delivered an adj
dress. S. P. MAYBERRY.

OF public works presented its bill for the
music there was general kicking. That
Is to say when the assessment was made, a
good deal of objection was developed and
the parties went into court raising all sorts
OF objections. Yesterday Judge Simons
hled a decision IN the case of Edward
Langevin which covers all the others. The
substance of this decision is given in the
following extrect from the same:
lind that the valuation of the board of
public works of the city of st. Paul, of the
property of the appellant described in the
notice of appeal herein and taken for a
levee in the Sixth ward of said city of St.
Paul is not fair valuation of said proper
ty, and that the assessment of said board
OF public works, for opening and extend
ing said levee, is not in so far as it affects
such property fair and impartial assess
ment 1t is therefore ordered that judg-
ment be entered herein, amending said as
sessment in so far as it affects said prop
erty of the appellant.
The result will be that new assessment
Will have to be levied.
