NEWARK, Aug. 21.-The work on the
depot of the Baltimore IL Ohio railroad is
at stand. The stone work was finished
early in the week, and the bricklayers
have been looked for during the past
three or four days. A cattle shoot was
erected yesterday, as there will be more
or less of live stock shipped to and from
Newark. We understand John Elliott,
who has been west buying horses, will
have them shipped direct to this place.
Lumber was unloaded yesterday,
and coal shoot will be erected
at an early date. A side
track was put down, so that coal and
lumber can be unloaded. We also under
stand that James Lyle, who has conducted
the coal and lumber business at Newark
station, n mile away from town on the
line of the p, w. ~ b. railroad, for n
number of years, has leased strip of
land lying east of the B. a. o. road, q
short distance below the proposed new
depot, for lumber and coal yard. Some
of the merchants are not very favorable
TO the road, because they claim that
people will go to the city to shop.
DIR. q. Henry, who is we'll and favorably
known here, received word from Professor
Porter, of st. Paul, Mimi, that there was
m opening for q physician aud advised
him to come on. The doctor went out,
and finding that he could better himself
financially, started for his western home
Thursday night.
A broom mandatory was opened here
this week. William G. Bradford, who
carried of the highest honors at the blind
institute, Philadelphia, placed the neces-
sary machinery in commodious room
over Steele's meat and provision store and
began work to-day.

NEWARK, Aug. 19.-The classic neigh
borhood of New London avenue, inhab-
tied mostly by colored people, was thrown
into state of excitement yesterday by n
colored man assaulting oolored woman.
In the melee the woman received cut
head, while the man escaped with few
scratches. Complaint was made before
one ofSthe squires, who was too busy to
attend to the case. The man,
Lewis Adams, went to work as
though nothing had happened. This
morning Adams was brought be-
fore Squire McKeowan, who, after hear
ing the testimony placed him under $500
bail to appear at court. II is quite likely
that Lewis will rest few days Mt New
Castle. The woman, Rebecea Ricketts,, has
a wound on her head nearly three inches
long.

We have Rot space for the full decision, bat in

Austin obtained marriage license for his frisnd,
giving, az be claims, by mistake, the lEme of h

issued the license vas under the impression that
Austin vas Avery, Austin, thinking he had right

was a. folloSS:
"Ho matter how strongly tbs sVideocs may e.
tsblsh the facts claimed By the Prosecution, those
facts do not constitute the public onense charged
against Austin, and thers was not probate cause

MAINE, CELEBRATES
ITS ONE HUNDREDTH YEAR.

PORTLAND, Me-, July 5.-This city began to-day
the three days celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of its incorporation. The ceremonies
connected with the celebration will be most elab-
crate and imposing. -Four thousand and three hun
dred invitations we're extended to the sons and
daughters of Portland living out of the city and
state, and 20 special invitations to persons who
are natives of this city, or who were formerly resi-
dents. Nearly half the persons thus invited have
accepted the invitations and will be present.
The influx of people drawn here from neighbor-
ing towns to witness the festivities Monday and
Tuesday, taking place in what was once the little
town of Falmouth, will number thousands. Among
those who have accepted invitations are Governor
RObie and staff, the mayors of all the cities in
Maine, the mayor of st. Johns, N b., Hon. James
G. Blaine, Hon Hannibal Hamin, Hon j. r. Bod
well and Col. Clark S. Edwards, candidates for
governor; Mr.. Phillip Brooks, of Boston, and
Mrs. Abba Gould Wilson, of Concord, n. II. Over
200 former citizens of Portland are already here.
The North Atlantic squadron is now lying in the
harbor and the officers, sailors, marines, artillery
and blue jackets will take a conspicuous part in the
celebration.
On Monday the city will put on holiday attire for
the occasion. The decorations are handsome and
chiefly confined to public buildings. Suitable tab
lets have been placed on ancient buildings as well
as the birth-places or homes Of some Of the dis
tinguished men and women who have been raised
here. Among those who have been thus honored
