DISCHARGED.


Readers of the PRESS will remember that,
in March, 1888, Lizzie Hubbard, young girl,
daughter of Levi Hibbard, was brought before
the Municipal Court at the request of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, on the
ground that she was in danger, from neglect,
of falling into habits of immortality, and the
Court ordered her to be committed to the In
dustrial School. An appeal was taken to the
Superior Court, and until the order could be
complied with the girl was ordered to be COM
mltted to Jail, but was really placed in the
custody of a member of the Union. The
father was opposed to the removal of his
daughter from his house, and claimed she was
not liable to fall into vicious ways. Mr.. Hib-
bard employed Mr.. Hadlock as attorney, who
brought the child before Judge Symonds on q
writ OF hobeaS corpus, claiming that the COM
mitmeDt to Jail for failure to pay fees and
costs OF entry in the Superior Court was un-
constitutional. Mr.. Drummond appeared in
behalf of the Union. The case was sent up
to the law court, and pending decision the
child was returned to the care of her father.
The ground on which the caseEwas decided was
that there were defects in the mittimus issued
by the Municipal Court, the mittimus failing
to state that the officers who arrested Lizzie
Hubbard were respectable inhabitants" and
that the Court failed to order the girl "to be
committed to the custody and guardianship of
the officers of the Maine Industrial School for
Girls, during her minority unless sooner dis
charged by process of law" as required by
the statute. Until such order is passed no
appeal can be taken, and no order for the pay
ment of money for the copies and the entry of
the case and for bail can be made. Hence
the commitment of the girl to Jail for a allure
to comply with such orders was unauthorized
and void.
The girl was therefore ordered discharged.

THE Liquor TRAFFIC I'm PORT
LAND

The MayOr Waited Upon by q, Committee
of the Law and Order League, and
Urged to Enforce the Law Against Rum
selling.
1t has been known for several days that the
Law and Order League has made representa-
lions to the Mayor concerning the inefficient
enforcement in Portland OF the prohibitory
law. The following is the text of the address
of the committee, to which we are informed no
formal reply has yet been made.
TO His Honor the Mayor;
Strive who wait upon you are committee of
the Law and Order League, instructed to represent
to you that the law against the liquor traffic is very
imperfectly enforced in this city, We are instruct
ed to address ourselves to you as the head of the
police force the members OF which, if faithful to
their sworn duty, are sufficient to extirnate the
secret liquor traffic entirely from the city, We need
not tell your honor that this traffic on however
very great evil to the community and an inexpressi
Bile msch of and misery to great many of our peo-
pie. No one knows that better than your Houor
does. The Law and order League cannot consent
that the officials whose duty il is to protect the
community from the liquor traffic, which Mr. Sena-
tor Morrill, justly stigmatized as "the gigantic
crime OF crimes, who ere appointed and paid for
that purpose, shall continue to neglect their sworn
duty, whereby great injury and suffering are inict
ed upon many of our people.
II the officials cannot be moved by considerations
OF honor to perform their duty, the Law and Order
League believes that they may be constrained by
the courts to do it.

Accident to the Frauconia.

When the Francopia, OF the New York

steamer Rhode Island attempted to pass her.
The Franconia kept her course, but the Rhode
Island sheered out and, as she attempted to
cross the FraDconia's bow she was not quick
enough, and the vessels came in contact The
Frsnconia's bow was started land a piece knock
ed out of the upper works about fifteen feet
long by two feet wide. The Rhode Island had
several state rooms aft OF the paddle boxes car
