a Famous Case Revived.
Especial to the PREss.l

DOVER, N. H., Feb 23.-In the Supreme
Court this afternoon, there was hearing to
set aside the verdict in the case of Barry VS..
Young, for injury occasioned by dynamite
explosion in Strafford, in November, 1884.
The cause for setting aside the verdict is al
legged misconduct Of one of the jurors, Mr..
Colts of Rochester. In the case, the plain
tiff, Taylor Berry, obtained a verdict of
$1,000 at the September term of court, 1885,
for which amount Stephen Young and the
town of Strafford were trusteed. The mo-
tion to set aside was fled Sept. 9th, 1885,
and the hearing is now in progress. 1t is
claimed that one of the jurors, Mr.. Colts. had
conversation with various parties during the
intermissions of the trial, and also that they
had the daily papers in the jury room which
contained the report of the trial with com
ments. The defense. while admitting that
the paper was there. claims that it was taken
in, being wrapped around watermelon, and
was thrown out and not read by any one,
The hearing will be continued tomorrow.

Eun al the carnival.

BURLINGTON, VT, Feb. 23.-There has
been fine fall of snow during the night, as
suring the success of the carnival Large
numbers of visitors arrived on the morning
train from all directions and all are enthu-
siastic. The coasting hill on Main street
was repaired during the night so that the
liability to accidents has almost entirely dis
appeared and it was in fine condition this
morning. The snow is damp and was packed
as fast as it fell The toboggan slide is also
in full blast and all are enjoying themselves
The second day of the Burlington carnival
was successful beyond the fondest hopes of
its managers, and all sports have been hearth
ly participated in and greatly enjoyed
throughout. The crowd present this fore
noon was greatly augmented in the after
noon and the city and that part of the Lake
near the scene of the sports has been
thronged. The Russian slide extending be-
tween Government breakwater and the Lake
shore proved the greatest attraction and, al
though it has three slides it could not begin
to accommodate all who desired to go down.
This afternoon in addition to coasting, to-
bogganing and ice boating there were horse
racing and an ice boat regatta on the lake.
Eight boats were in the regatta and all but two
broke down or were ruled out. The course
of Y miles was covered by the winner in 81
minutes. The trotting race for three min
ute horses had seven starters and was won
IN three straight heats by Waiting Dan.

Russian slide with fireworks, large crowd
being present The Main street coast was
Illuminated as was also the city park The
grand polo tournament took place in the
rink tonight

ABOUT The FISHERIES.
Considerable Buster from Captain
in the RoyaI Nayy.

Sr JOHN, Feb. 23-Captain Scott, r. n,
has Just arrived at St. John from Ottawa,
whittier he had been summoned by the ma
rine and fisheries department TO arrange a
plan of action for protecting Canadian fish
cries in the event OF refusal of the United
States Congress to appoint commission
The captain stated that nothing would be
done until an answer had been received from
the United States authorities. If it is unfa-
yorable cruisers will at once be put on to
drive American fishermen off Canadian
shores. A fleet of steamers and schooners,
mounted with guns, will be employed for
that purpose There will be about ten YES
sells required, six schooners and four steam
ers, and they will cruise all the way from
Gaspe to Eastport. The schooners will carry
twenty-three men. One steamer is now on
her way to the Magdalen Islands to drive
away any American fishermen who may seek
to take Canadian fish there. The captain
declares very pompously that not moment
will be wasted after the answer is received,
and no quarter will be given to poachers. Ii
they will not be driven off they will be cap
tured. The policy of the American fisher
men, he says, has been to lie about fish and
then to steal them, and the Canadian govern
ment is determined that they shall be al
lowed no privileges

DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH.
Ivy Lodges Visit to Lewiston Last
Night.

The most successful fraternal visit of the
season was that of Ivy Lodge, Daughters of
Rebekah, to Fidelity Lodge, D. of R., of
Lewiston, which was made last night. There
were 160 strong in the party which left on
the 5 p. M. Maine Central train. On reach
ing Lewiston street cars were in readiness
in charge of committee from Fidelity
Lodge, which soon landed the visitors at the
hall. After wraps were laid off and a short
time spent in exchanging fraternal greetings,
lunch was served and the lodge then called
to ORDER For the sgood of the ORDER" hap
py remarks were made by the Noble Grand
Mrs Siphers of Fidelity Lodge; also by
Grand Secretary Joshua Davis, P. g. NJ,
Henry p Cox, Noble Grand Gilliatt, Mr.. c.
J. Butler Of Portland; P. G.. j. G. Elder of
Lewiston P. G. r., VIM. H. Smith; D. G.
NJ, Freeman T. Merrill of Portland. Mrs. A.
N. Hawes of Portland finely recited one of
Will Carleton's poems.
The lodge then closed, and in few mo-
ments the doors were thrown open and the
hall quickly filled to overfowing to listen to
the excellent entertainment provided by
Fidelity Lodge. The programme follows:
Overture. e.......................-... Orchestra

Miss Josie Thorne.
Flute Obligat0 by Mr.. Lothrop.

Recitation-"1he Irish Courtship'' ...........
Mrs. A. N. Hawes of Portland.
The orchestral music was furnished by
ten young men from the Lewiston High
School and they would rank fairly well with
much older organizations. 1t is sufficient to
say that each number on the programme was
heartily encored.
AT 1870 o'clock, after a neat speech from
Mrs. Allen. chaplain of Fidelity Lodge, the
company repaired to the banquet hall and
sat down to supper which would have
graced any hotel. Plates were laid for over
two hundredland every seat was occupied.
After all were filled many basketsful re-
mained. 'The ladies of Fidelity Lodge did
themselves proud" was the universal CON-
ment on the banquet.
Following the banquet a short time was
spent in cementing still stronger the frater-
nal ties which now bind Fidelity and Ivy
Lodges, Daughters of Rebekah, and at 11.3O
o'clock carriages were provided and the
visitors taken to the Maine Central depot.
They reached this city about O'Clock this
morning, all very much pleased with the ex-
cursion and reception in the ''city of
spindles."
The successful ending of the visit in Lew
iston is due to the following committees of
Fidelity Lodge;

THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Trustee o'Donoghue Presents Mi
noYity Report,

nority Report,
AUGUSTA, Feb. 23.-Mr. D. O'C. O'Donogh-
ue, member of the board of trustees of the
Reform School, his signature not having been
appended to the last annual report made by
his four colleagues, today presented a some
what lengthy minority report to the Govern
or and Council. He does not concur in the
two year rule or in the erection of any bar
rier for the detention of a boy in school
longer than is absolutely necessary. So soon
as boys conduct enables him to the privi-
lege and he can be properly cared for outside
the school. 1t is for the best interests of the
boy and of the State that he be permitted to
leave the school on trial. There is also room.
he thinks, for improvement in the food furn-
ished inmates. Mr.. O'Donoghue believes
that more of the superintendent time may
be devoted to a closer supervision of the af-
fairs of the school, much of which is con-
sumed in making purchases in the city of
Portland, and system of purchasing and
delivering under contract system advised.
The subject of religious instruction at the
scaool is treated at considerable length He
incorporates letter into his report from
Bishop Healy of the Catholic church to the
trustees of the school under date of October
IL, 1885, in which the bishop expressed dis
satisfaction with the treatment priest re-
ceived at the school, complaining because he
was kept under the supervision of one of the
officers in his most confidential and sacred
communications and asks for his right.
Mr.. O'Donoghue regrets that his colleagues
have refused to grant the rights asked for
and makes an exhaustive argument, in
which he cites numerous authorities, sup
porting the claims of Catholic boys in re-
form school to worship God in accordance
with the dictates of their consciences. He is
satisfied that a remedy will be found with
the Governor and Council. He urges that
orphan children at the age of 8 or 10 years
without homes should be sent to the Catholic
orphan asylums when of Catholic parentage
and to the Protestant when of Protestant
parentage.

CARoNDALET, Ill, Feb. 23-Mrs. Wall, a
six months old baby in the care of her other
children yesterday, while she went to call
at her fathers home near by. In her abb
sence the children lighted pieces of paper at
the stove to amuse the baby, and set the
screams of the older children, who had run
from the house, hurried home to find the
house in flames. Shrieking frantically she
tried to plunge into the burning building
but was restrained by neighbors. When the
charred body of the infant was finally re-
covered, the mother was raving maniac.
