rng w,nsLow PACKING co.
some Causes That are Thought to
Have Caused the Suspension.

No figures are yet given in the Winslow
Packing Company suspension and it is pos
sble that several days will elapse before any
meeting of the stockholders Of the sompany
or of the creditors of General Mattocks, the
president, will be held.
1t seems to be the general belief that the
present state of affairs has been brought
about by several causes, one of which was
the expense attendent udon the long litiga-
ton in the j. Winslow Jones lawsuits, the
gripping of the company by the unwilling
ness Of wholesale dealers to buy the Globe
corn while the right to the label was III the
courts, and the lack Of sufficient capital.
The Jones lawsuits are historical now.
When Mr.. Jones failed six years ago he had
the right to redeem his property in two
years He didn't do so but demanded that
his property be returned to him and when II
wasn't he began at one time and another
fifteen different suits, and was defeated III
every one. From 10000 cases OF corn sold
the year of Jones's suspension the sales Tell
to 10000 the next year, and then the sales
increased as the dealers renewed confidence
in the company till. as we stated yesterday,
the sales last year reached 10000 cases, the
same number as in the year Of JoneS's sus-
pension. Jones is supposed to be now IN
Baltimore but he has persistently kept up
his plan of buying cheap corn, putting
on the Globe label, and last summer
Mattocks got an injunction against
him forbiddng his establishing himself with
in so miles of the Winslow Company's fac
tories or using their labels, and Mattocks
followed Jones's trips from one jurisdiction
to another. But all these suits and other
proceedings, it is said, must have cost the
company over $4,000.
The unwillingness of the wholesale dealers
to buy the corn during these suits must have
cost a great deal more to the company.
Its small capital compelled the COM
PEELED the company to buy on time when
other old established companies could pay
cash, and of.late it is said that the failures of
several large wholesale firms in Portland has
caused the banks. where the Winslow Pack
ing Co. banked, to restrict their loans and to
say to Gen. Mattocks, we can't take the small
packers paper" Then the General felt the
only course left was to suspend.
1t is generally believed the creditors will
accept per centage and the company will
go on. We were told Tuesday that the Gen.
eral had had many offers of assistance.
1t is reported that A, & p. B. Young, OF
Hiram are among the largest creditors, to the
amount of $4,000. They leased one of the
factories and had one of their own at Brown

Arrival of Revenue steamers

The United States revenue cutter Wood
bury, Captain A. A. Fenger, arrived yester-
day morning from the eastward. The YES
sci needs some slight repairs forward where
the sheathing metal has been stripped by the
ice, and will receive temporary repairs while
here. Since February II. when the cutter
last left Portland for the eastward, 20 yes
sells have been assisted by the cutter, besides
the releasing of 10 vessels icebound at Rock
port.
The United States revenuescutter Dallas,
Captain Barr, arrived at this port yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock. The cutter has been
on a cruise to the eastward. While assisting
the schooner Florence 4. Tower in Deer Is
land thoroughfare the vessels propeller was
quite badly damaged and will have to be re-
paired before going to sea again. The
schooner G. II. Trickey Of Dover, N. H.,
was spoken shortly before entering this
port. The thoroughfares are reported tobe
still closed with ice.

TUEsDAY--The March civil term opened this

John b. Folger VS.. Jerome r. Manning.
Action of covenant broken. The plaintiff, q
resident of Boston, entered into contract with
the defendant under seal dated March H. 1873.
In that contract is the following clause: 81 do
agree TO share equally with said Folger such COM
mission as | may collect from any of the owners,
officers and seannen Of the sch0Oners Mermaid
and John Adams of PrOyineetown, after deduct
ing commission allowed to K. HI. Dyer, and such
other expenses as may be lncurredm proving the
claims on such vessels" This contract also re-
fefred to prior contract under seal dated in
1877 between the same parties in which the. de-
fees in ali cases which Folger may influence to
Manning The contracts refer 10 prosecution of
claims before the court of Alabama Claims at
Washington. The plaintiff claims that the defen-
dant collected as fees for claims prosecuted Tor
the benefit of the owners, officers and seamen OF
the schooners Mermaid and John Adams the sum
OF S4.668.0O, one half of which he claims is due
him under the contract.
The defendant claims that the treasury drafts
received in the above case have not all been paid
that two of them are still in his hands awaiting
litigation between the owners and the crew. He
claims that this suit cannot be maintained until
those drafts have been paid and he has settled
with his clients. He further claims that the con-
tract Is void as against public policy; that the
ton cannot be maintained because the contract
shows partnership between the plaintiff and de-
fendadt.
Decision reserved.

How MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the Inherent strength of the body sufices to ena-

however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases, a
little aid to the weakened Lungs win make all
the difference between sudden death and many

a Cough Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat or

CITY REPORTS.
civ EIectrIcIan.

The annual report of Mr.. Levi Cummings,
the city electrician, has been received at the
Office of the City Clerk. The report states that
the condition of the fire alarm and telegraph
apparatus remain about the same as it was at
the time of the last rel TT. Three new
boxes have been added daIing the year and
several more are Leeded and should be added
during the coming year. The report
recommends the adoption of the most inn
proved fire alarm telegraph apparatus as be-
ing more economical than any other.
In the erection of poles in the different
streets, the stringing Of wire to complete cir
cults for signal boxes, bells, ETC., much work
has been done during the past year. With
the addition of few more miles of new
wire the fire alarm telegraph wires will be
in first class condition. The electrician
complains that the Electric Light Company
has not been willing at all times to comply
with the orders of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen. The signal boxes have all been
remembered during the past year, which the
electrician believes was uncalled for and
needless expense to the city as he cannot see
the least benefit to be derived from it. He
does not believe in having fire alarm sys-
tenn and then guessing where the fire Is when
the alarm strikes.
A team and good man for an assistant is
asked for. In no city Of the size OF Portland
is so much expected OF one man, and very
few are aware of the amount of labor and
care required in managing our fire alarm and
police telegraph system.
The expense of maintaining the firm alarm
and police telegraph up to March l, 1888, is
