[The above despatch gives us the first knowledge
that stock company has been formed in this city.
Last spring rumors that such company was to be
formed reached us, but nothing definite in regard
to It's formation could be ascertained. Within the
past TWO weeks we have again heard rumors that a
STOCK company was to be formed, and have endeav-
have failed to do so. Mr. Burnham the past spring,

IMPORTANT DECISION BV THE U.
q. PATENT OFFICE.
The Title TO lhe 'GIobe'' Trade Mark for
Canned Goods Judicially Settled 10
Ebe i'm GEN. @. II. Mattocis of
Portland. Me.

On Wednesday, the oath ult., hearings we're
had before the Commissioner of Patents in
person and the examiner of interferences
which have resulted in settling the title to
this valuable trade mark.
The parties to the controversy were Gen.
Charles P. Mattocks Of Portland, Maine, pres
ident of the Winslow Packing Company, and
John Winslow Jones of the same place, the
latter being the nephew of Isaac WiDslow, who
was the original inventor and patentee Of the
process of packing green corn as now practiced
by the Winslow Packing Company. The
fGlobe" trade mark has been used continu-
ously upon corn packed by this process from
the time of Isaac Winslow to the pres
emit The assignee of John Winsow Jones in
insolvency appointed by the Court of Insolven
cy for Cumberland county, Maine, upon the
petition of Jones' creditors, was also represen-
ted at the hearings.
The history OF the matter before the Patent
Office, as appears by the evidence presented
by Messrs. Joyce and Spear of Washington,
D. c., on behalf of Gen. Mattocks, is briefly
this
After having done large business for some
years in packing corn, etc., on his own account
in 1880, John Winslow Jones went to England
and formed company called J. Winslow
Jones & Co.. limited, to which company Jones
sold all his factories, business, tools, trade
marks, etc., taking in payment therefor the
stock and bonds of that company. Jones was
appointed business manager of that company
and went on for short time, but the company
failed.
In 1882 at special meeting of the company
it was voted to wind up the company and to
sell its assets and Alfred Good and John Smith
Smith were appointed liquidators to carry out
this vote of the company and also the order of
the High Court of Justice, Chancery Diyis
ion to the same effect.
AT this point Gen. Mattocks acquired title to
all the factories, business, goodwill, trade
marks, etc which had been conveyed by Jones
to the company, the conveyance bearing date
July IA, 1882.
Messrs. Joyce and spear produced the orig
inal conveyance of sixteen different trade
marks, Gncluding the "Globe") from John
Winslow Jones to j. Winslow Jones & Co.,
limited, dated June IS, 1880.
John Winslow Jones, was represented at the
hearing by DR.. David Breed of Washington.
The Patent Office inds the above convey.
ances to be valid and the title to the "Globe''
trade mark for canned goods to be vested in
Gen. Mattocks.
1t is understood that all parties using labels
in imitation or infringement of those covered
bylthis decision will be prosecuted.

RAILWAY MATTERS,
Franklin's New Railroad.

Work on the Franklin g. Megantic railroad is
progressing rapidly. The grading will be complet-
ed probably within three weeks Track laying will
be commenced this week, and pushed with large
crew of men. The company are having constructed
Dyer, in Strong. and have one locomotive conplet-
ed, and others with passenger rolling stock, under
way. 1t is expected that the road will be in cond-
ton for business before the end of November.
Foundations for engine houses, sheds. depots and
other buildings are in, and the superstructures will
be commenced in few days. Au i mense amount
Of lumber in the forest district west and north Of
the line, is waiting transportation. The location is
such that the company will not probably be much
inconvenienced by drifting snow.
The Trunk Lines Make Another Comces-
A special to the Boston Journal from New York
says that final settlement was made of the dis
pute between the Grand Trunk of Canada and the
other western connections of the trunk lines at the
meeting of the Chicago committee Tuesday. A
proposition formulated and forwarded to the
Grand Trunk for approval, and upon its answer de-
ponds the question of The restoration of the east
bound freight rates. All of the roads leading east
ward out of Chicago were represented, except the
Crane Truf k. definite answer had been expect
ed to the offer of the American lnes but none was
received 1t is asserted that the action of the Chi
cago committee confronted the Grand Trunk, with
alternative except to assent bear the respon-
sbility of an open disruption of agreements The
American roads have yielded so far as to allow a
new arbitr tion on Chicago east bound percentages
and they offer to let the arbitrators decide from
what date their award shall take effect. The vital
point, however, is about settlements of the money
due to the other roads from the Grand Trunk hich
has exceeded Its pool percentages. The Grand
Trunk offered to settle for part Of the time since
Jan. 1, 1884 on the basis OF Mr.. Fink's award and
the rest on the basis OF the present arbitrators'
award The Chicago committee refused this. and
they insist. in connection with the concession of
another arbitration, that the balances due to them
shall be paid on the basis of the disputed arbtra-
ton. All of the lines said to be united In this
demand. the rumors of dissatisfaction on the part
of the Pennsylvania being denied. If the Grand
Trunk refuses to accept this proposition and with
draws from the pool, the prospect for worse rail-
road war than now exists is great.
Minor Notes.
The Boston g. Lowell has made an arrangement
by which the Great Eastern fast freight line will
run over the Grand Trunk to Groveton, upon its
Portland division, and thence TO Boston over the
Boston q Lowell, via its newly acquired Northern
line. This new route will, in measure. render the
regards through traffic. -

Last evening Mr.. William Stafford made his
first appearance at Portland Theatre, assuming on
this occasion the familiar role of "Ingomar. the
Barbarian Mr.. Stafford labors under the dis
advantage of lack of stature for the character since
we have always been accustomed to consider the
rude chiefs of those days represented in the play
of almost giant mold, and the traditions of the
stage have adhered to this view. Consequently when
small man essays the part or one of ordinary size
he fails to fill the eye. Notwithst anding this diff,
hculty Mr.. Stafford gave more of dignity to the
part than we had expected and if at times there
was a nervous action which detracted from the
force of the presentation it was due more to
voice and is elocution is generally good. When be
loses himself in the character in the third act
where rage and love struggle for the mastery he
was very good and was heartily appsuded. Miss
Evayn Foster is acoDsclent0us intelligent actress
with very pleasant voice whose tones are grateful
to the ear. She acted with much spirit esp ecially
in the third act where she prepares to defend her
honor. Tonight there should be a large audience
