PORTLAND, May "a.
The following has been received by Gov.

Hon. Frederic Robie, Governor of Maine.
We, the commissioners of contagious dis

ease, which appeared in the towns of Deer

been entirely stamped out. All the infected
premises have been thoroughly and effect
ually dissnfected, and the hay ordered
burned. The quarantine was relieved May
10th, just three months from the date of the
appearance of the disease. The law having
been complied with, and all danger from
further outbreak been provided against, We
now pronounce the State free and clear from
all contagious diseases among cattle.
(SIgned) L. A. GILBERT,
w. B. FERGUSON,
GEO. Ii. BAILEY
Gov. Robie begs this may have as wide
circulation as the original notice of the dis
ease.

AUSTRALIAN MAIL SERVICE.
Fears That il Will be Diverted From
San Francisco.
SAY FRANcIsco. MAY q.

SAN FRAScIsco, Nav 81
Referring to the possibility of the Austral-
ian mail service being diverted from San
Francisco through failure on the part of the
United States government to provide its pro-
portion of the subsidy. Robert ]. Creighton,
agent of the New Zealand government, stated
that it was understood that whatever amount
might be appropriated by the United States
government was TO be deducted from the
Australian subsidy, and that unless the
United Stetes government paid its proper
ton, the service would cease. This result
would be . serious loss to San Francisco. 1t
is believed that few British ship owners are
actively opposing the subsidy.

A WISCONSIN BANK SUSPENDED.
Statement Of the Presid ent-PrObabI y
Able to Meet Liabilities.

GREENBAY, Wis, May %.
The cause of the suspension at Strong's
Bank here, yesterday, is stated in the fol-
lowing note, left by Prest Henry Strong, who
departed for the east Saturday;
Owing to the failure of several banks in
this vicinity last winter, and the demoraliza-
ton of financial matters lately, and owing to
some villianous reports circulated about our
own bank. our deposits have SO greatly de-
creased within the last three or four months
that we have had to pay out over 100000.
Feeling tlI>t we cannot convert the assets
rapidly enough to meet the demand fer
money, we deemed it best, in justice to
ALL to close the bank, and wind up its af-
fairs.
The belief exists generally that depositors
will not meet with much loss. The directors
find the assets tG amount to about $3.50, 900,
and the liabilities S340. 600.

An important case was decided in
the courts few days ago, which virtu-
ally settles the principal question in
volyed in many of the disputed mining
claims now before court, viz: whether
the twenty acre locator, who came to
the mines early and possesses no title
to his ground other than a paper notice
of location tackled to the side of a
tree, can hold the property to the ex-
clusion of the miner who came later
and proceeded to fully comply with
the law by stalking, blazing and work
ing the ground in such manner as to
develope the mineral resources of the
country. The case decided was that
of Mcqueen VS.. III. Lyuch, Cooney
ct. al, and the verdict for the defend
ants, being regarded as the first gun
for the working miners, is considered
an important advantage to the entire
mining community.-Independent.
