The differences now existing between Com
missioner Fink and the Trunk Line arbitrators
In the matter of the Grand Trunk percentage,
are, it 10 said, quite pronounced. The Wander
bilt lines are urging the arbitrators very strong
~ to reduce the Grand Trunks allotment
Commissioner Fink insists that the percentage
allotted by him was no more than fair, and
the Grand Trunk authorities assert that they
will not submit to the reduction. The point
seems to be that the Vanderbilt lines threaten
the existence Of the pool if the percentages
are not altered, and the Grand Trunk threat.
ems the pool II they are.

Sergeant Kelly,s Case.

The iull court yesterday rendered a decision
In the case of Sergeant Kelly, surreKdering
him to the United States authorities He was
indicted for the murder of Francis A. Smith, q
student of Harvard College. The fatal shot was
fired within Fort Popham, on territory over
which the United States has Jurisdiction, and
the death occurred without the fort and on
territory within the jurisdiction of the State of
Maine.
The United States authorities, not taking
jurisdiction at the time to punish the offender,
an Indictment was found in the State Court at
Bath. 1t was however determined to submit
the question of jurisdiction to the Law Court
before mourning the expense OF trial.
The questions were argued before the Law
Court in July, 1883. 1t was claimed by Attor
ney General Cleaves for the State that it was
the design of our statute to hold the murderer
criminally responsible for his acts at the time
and place of death, though tho means of death
were put in motion at different time and
place. Judge Advocate Gardiner and District
Attorney Lunt argued that the United States
had sole jurisdiction of the offence. An in.
dictment has been found in the United States
Court against Kelly for manslaughter.

SEVENTEEN DOLLARS SHORT.
A Celestial FsWashee MIany Accused of
Crook ednesa.

Early last evening Mr.. Joseph A. Joy called
At Quong Kings Chinese laundry at 625 Con-
gress street for some clothing he had left
there to be washed. Mr.. Joy says that on
entering the store he took from his inner coat
pocket diary. containing among other things
the check for his washed apparel and the sum
OF S17. Taking the check from the diary, he
stepped to counter nearly opposite and paid
the Chinaman for the washing with money
taken from another pocket. Mr.. Hing upon
receipt OF the money proceeded to show Mr..
Joy bottle of cologne with view of selling
1t to him; but the latter, not caring to pur-
chase, grasped his bundle and passed out of
the store, leaving the pocke.-book behind.
When Mr.. Jog reached Schlotterbeck's store
near State street, the thought came to him
that he had left his pocket-book at the China
mans, SO he fastened back, and not finding
the diary on the counter, demanded it from
Mr.. Hing; but the latter declared that he
knew nothing about it. The authorities were
at once notified, and quite a crowd collected;
but just before midnight, when the Celestial
closed his doors. Mr.. Joy was still SIT short.

mic to Bluff Cottage yesterday, and it was not
"Rob's" fault if the party did not "look
happy" A fine chowder, CLAIMS, and all the
essentials to appease hunger, under the stew
ardship of "Ssndy," made every one feel
contented; and base ball, cards, and fishing
served to while away the afternoon The
party were favored with several solos by
"Win" on the trip home, and the choruses
were most effective. Everybody declared the
trip great success, and its repetition will take
place at an early day.

FOREST CIrYs, 8; sAoos, O.


Therewa a splendid attendance at the Forest
City rink last evening at the game between the
Forest Citys and Sacos There was large crowd of
skaters on the floor, and the galleries were well
filed with spectators. For short one, the game
was as exciting as any that has yet been played in
the league 1t took the Forest Citys just II minutes
to secure three goals. The Sacos played an excel
lent game, but we're not equal to their opponents
The first goal won by Williams in two minutes.
The second Kelsey captured in three minutes. In
this goal Kelsey fairly outdid himself. He made
some of the best plays ever seen here in polo
game and he was ably assisted by Orne. The Two
understood each other SO perfectly that when they
got the ball between them woe unto those who came
in their way. The last goal was won by splendid
shot from Woods, who sent the ball half way across
the rink through the goal. Time, 8 minutes. S. C,
Hamilton, Jr, was referee.
The next game in the league viii be at Old Or
ehard tonignt between the home club and the Sacos
Next Monday night the Woodfords and Sacos play
