PORTLAND, Me, May 25.-The schooner
Sisters, Captain Jessie Ellis, reached here
yesterday morning and Captain Ellis went
to the customs house as usual, The Port
land fishermen have been closely watch
ing the movements of all colonial fisher
men, and it did not take them long to dis
cover that Captain Ellis was unprovided
with manifest, and the information was
at once conveyed to the officials at the
customs house. 1t fell to the lot of Col
onel Lewis b. Smith, the first deputy col
lector, to inform the uulucky CAPTAIN
Ellis that he was to be the first victim
to be offered up at the shrine of Yankee
vengeance. Captain Ellis insisted that
he had not knowingly violated the laws
of the United States; that he had made
no attempt at concealment, which was
true enough, but Ignorance of the law
excuses no one and Captain Ellis was
told that all that could he done was to
place an inspector in. charge of the schoon-
er, and that in the end fine of 5000 must
be paid A statement OF tho facts has
been sent to Washington, Captain Ellis
has filed "A protest against the imposed
fine Tor coming into port without a permit.

Litigation Involving Patent Rights.

The Davis harrow attachments have come
into litigation through the complaint filed yes
terday by the Kimberlin Manufacturing Com
pany against James s. Schoonover, D. S. Whit
tier and Fl. Fl. Fulton. It is SET out that the
patentee, Davis, was in the employ of the COM
pany complaining aid agreed to give il the
preference in purchasi any invention he might
bring about. It is charged that the defendants,
as the Steel Pulley Works, knew Of this arrange
ment and that Schoonover a few weeks ago
came to the company, representing that Davis
was to secure new patent and then leave the
plaintiffs employ. Schoonover it is alleged,
said he could purchase the patent and then sell
half interest II it to the plaintiff. This was
agreed to, but the complaint is that Schoonover
then went to Davis and told him that the COM
pany intended to get possession of his last patent
and then discharge him. By these representa-
tons, it is charged, the defendants got control
of the patent at issue. The Kimberlin COM
pany asks to have one-half interest in the pat,
emit assigned to it and an Injunction against de-
PENDANTS to prevent them from otherwise dis
posing of it. Damages in the sum of So, 900 are
also wanted.
