Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, just
as the squall from the north struck the city'
the great wooden shed on Berlin Mill wharf,
wa seen to SILVER aHd almost instantaneously
the immense building, three hundred feet long
and one hundred wide fell with tremendous
noise. The easterly walls went into the dock,
while portion of the western was partly held
in place by two schooners lying at the dock,
one of which had its main boom broken. The
building cost So, 900, aud was erected for the
owners, j. II. Browns Sons, by Burrowes
Bros, builders. Mr.. P. FL Brown and Mr.
Douglass say the injury to the timbers is such
that the building will be virtually total loss.
There were no goods stored in the building,
and it is also fortunate no one was injnred. An
inspection of the timbers shows that thelrafters
must have spread apart starting from their fast
enings at the caves Not a timber appeared
to be broken, hut in each board and ioist the
nail still remained, showing that they had
been pnlled out, without even bending or
breaking them.

The Bangor Commercial says that it lately
printed an article-which we would add the
PRESS copied-on eyading the customs, and
cited the case of one Finch of Patteu, who
bought horse in the Provinces. and entered
1t at the custom house for q few dollars less
than COST then, later, returned to the custom
house, stated the case, and the officer accepted
money to pay for the duty on what was really
paid for the horse. Finch naturally supposed
this was the last of the case, but months after
wards be was arrested, ordered to pay some.
thing over 5000, which he was unable to DO,
and so ne was brought to Bangor and placed in
the county Jail. Mr.. Finch's attorney laid all
the facts before District Attorney Lunt but he
refused to show any mercy. The circumstances
the Commercial states, we're then related to
Senator Hale, who said 1t was an outrage to
Keep the mau in confinement, and the affair
was placed before President Arthur who at
once pardoned Finch, who has returned home.
With plain statement of this case before it
the Commercial says the Portland Press
thought that the Commercial was rejecting
upon District Attorney Lunt by saying he did
not show true lenity, and adds what do you
tulHk dDOuU III MI. FRESS9
Mr.. PRESS thinks this about it. Mr.. Finch
did buy horse in the Provinces and import it.
The horse was entered at the custom house for
less than cost upon false oath as to his value.
When Finch found he was detected he went
to the custom house and paid duty on the real
cost OF the animal. Finch no doubt thoueht
this would be the last of the case. The matter
was submitted to the Secretary of the Treas
ury by the District Attorney as to whether
that was settlement, and he was instructed
to proceed with the suit then pending, the for
feiture having accrued to the government inn
mediately when the false entry was made,
and was not discharged by the payment of the
balance of duties. The government then re-
covered judgment in the suit and execution
Marshal for collection. For want of properly
shown by the debtor, the Marshal committed
him to jail, as in ordinary cases of debt. The
District Attorney is expressly prohibited by
law, under heavy penalties. from abating airy
part of such claim. The sole power, by the U.
s Revised Statutes, is vested in the President
who may order the debtor discharged in cases
of this nature when he is satisfied ne can't
pay. The effect is the same as in the taking
of the poor debtors oath, under the State law,
and the judgment continues to hold good
against his property if he ever has any. There
is no pardon in the case, and the District At
torney has no discretionary power In the inn
portation of the animals perjury was employed
and we don't believe the Commercial will up-
hold perjury.
