MUNsoN IN GRAY.
a Liquor Case that is Exciting
Much Comment.
Hon. w. H. Yir5On Arrested for Alleged
Violation Of the Liquor Law.

There is great excitement in the adjoining
town of Grey over the trial of and subsequent
proceedings in a liquor case there Yesterday.
Saturday last, Rev. II @. Munson, on infor-
nation furnished him by some party, swore
out warrant against the proprietor of the ho-
tel at Gray Corner. For some unexplained
cause the proceedings were not had before off,
GERS Of Gray or Powaal (about four miles dis
tant), but the warrant was placed in the hands
OF Constable Williams of Cape Elizabeth, and
Thomas Place of this city (once a policeman
herel and Trial Justice Ebsn N Perry of Cape
Elizabeth, vent up 10 Gray to try the case
But there was an informality in the warrant
and the proceedings we're quashed.
Yesterday, however,s second warrant against
the same parties was sworn oat by Silas L.
Adams of Gray, and the same officers again
went to Gray, aud arrested Mrs. Eliza Taylor
wife OF the proprietor of the hotel, and she
was tried before Justice Perry. Some forty
witnesses were summoned. The justice found
her guilty, and issued mittimas to commit
her to jail and then adjourned the court.
Subsequently, the officers arrested Hon.
Warren FL. Vinton, OF Gray, who was indepen-
dent candidate for governor in 1882,on a charge
of being the owner of the building, aud know
ing that liquors we're kept therein for unlaw-
ful sale.
Justice Perry was nowhere to be found and
there was no one to take bail, SO the officers
set out for Portland with their prisoners, (Mr.
Vinton and Mrs. Taylor.) At Walnut Hill
Justice Perry was found, but no said that
court had adjourned and he could not take
bail.
On the way up to the jail from the depot
Sewall O. Strout, Esq, was met and he
accompanied the party and acted as counsel
Bail Commissioner Robinson was ssnt for, and
the parties were admitted to bail and dis
charged.
Shortly after they left the jail several citi-
zens OF Gray appeared there prepared to fur
nish bail. They said the people OF their town
were very indignant over the whole proceed
ing. Il was said the only evidence found
against the hctel was that Of two farmers, who
testified that after unloading load of hay at
the barn they went into the house and asked
for something TO take the dust out of their
throats," and Mrs, Taylor gave them some
"6prits.

The Washington correspondent of the
Lewiston Journal says:
Several Of the leaders have gone home in
disturbed state of mind at the slowness of
things They are particularly angry over the
position taken by Cleveland that an "offe usive
partisan" is dishonest, inattentive person,
as under that definition they hardly see how
District Attorney Lcnt, U. 8. Marshal B;sbee
and Postmaster Barker can be decapitated.
Mayor Deerlng aad Tabulator Chase thought
they could manage matters here better than
Mr.. Wilson, but my advices are that they,
too, are feeling that Republics are very slow
coaches, if not absolutely ungrateful. j. s.
Palmer of Portland, now appears to be the
most anxiously in search of evidence which
shall convince the President that Postmaster
Barker is extensively partisan. One of the de-
partment officials who was listening to state
ments to the effect that District Attorney
Lunt made very offensive Republican speeches
last gear, said that he hoped no Democrat who
wanted his place could be truly charged by Re-
publicans with being Extensively Democratic.
The movement against Lunt is also made BY
charges that he has incurred unnecessary ex-
penses and charged improper fees. The same
talk is made against Mr.. Bishee. Both these
officials court investigation. Jordan is hard
road to travel.
The triangular fight over the Portland COL
leetorship is perhaps the most bitter now Gen.
Sam j. Anderson has q very strong backing
Secretary Manning had no less than three
very prominent Maine Democrats before him
on Saturday to press Gen. Anderson's claims.
These are Arthur Sewall of Bath, President OF
the Maine Central, regarded as the most in
Euential of Maine Democrats; Mr.. Hastings
Of FTye6urg, candidate for Congress in the I'd
district; and Mr., Bass of Bangor. Bion Brad.
bury by no means despairs. But the difficulty
OF securing removal again confronts the ap-
plicants for this position. The term of the
present collector, Mr.. Dow, son of Gen Neal
Dow, does not expire until 1887. Again it is
said that Mr.. Dow must be proved to be an
"ofensive partisan;" but that will be very
hard JOB to accomplish, seeing that Mr.. Dow,
In the last campaign, strictly attended to the
duties OF bis Office, and, by common consent,
makes one of the best and most business-like
Collectors the Port of Portland ever had.
