The accommodation trains now
run on the Vieksburg, Shreveport
and Texas Railroad is not only a
great convience to the public, but is
meeting with deserved success. The
Ruston Caligrapll says: "The local
passenger train seems to be much
better patronized now than it has
ever before. 1t Is to he hoped that
the patronage it receives will be
sufficient to justify the Company in
keeping it on the road continually,
as it is an inestimable convenience
to the country tributary to the road
between Monroe and Shreveport"

REV. Mr.. LELAcHEUR's FIGURES

A piala.aAas,d cannn ground Rev Mr.
LIE Lacheur'S said:
At the September term, 1885, there were 81
cases for violation of the liquor law, So other
crime fifteen liquor cases mol pressed and other
crimes mol pressed. AT the January term, 1886,
mol pressed, and four other crimes mol pressed
At the May term, 1886, 80 liquor cases, 20 other
crimes % liquor cases mol pressed and two other
5O2 liquor cases, 55 mol pressed; Ill other
crimes, IL mol pressed.
A correspondent of the Argus alleges that
the figures are wrong. Mr.. bennett, the
clerk of the courts, makes the following
statement:
Ia A. bennett, Clerk of the Superior Court
within and for the County OF Cumberland and
State of Maine hereby certify that there were up
on the docket of said court at the close of the Sep
TENDER term, thereof, A. ID. 1885, three hundred
and eleven cases for violation OF the liquor law
SO called, including cases of nuisance, search ano
SEIZURE single sale, illegal transportation 1ntoxl
cation and common drunkard, and sixty-thret
cases for violation of the liquor law disposed
of by mol pros" and five cases for other crimes
| were disposed of in like manner.
At the January term A. D., 1886, there Wert
| entered one hundred and one cases for violation
| of liquor law and twenty-eight cases for othel
| crimes.
at this term fifteen cases for violation of liquol
| law were mol pressed" and five cases for other
crimes.
ninety cases for violation of liquor law and TWEEN
ty cases for other crimes. At this term, twenty
five cases for violation of liquor law were "no
pressed" and two cases for other crimes.
Dated at Portland, this twenty-eigth day OF
August, A. ID. 1885,
A. A. BENNETT, Clerk.
1t will be seen that the only errors in Mr.
LIE Lacheur's statement were the overstatinl
by one of the number of liquor cases no
pressed at the September term, 1885, and the
undertaking by one the number of cases
of other crimes mol pressed at the January
term, 1886. Each of these errors make against
Mr.. LIE Lacheur's side Of the case.
