Perhaps the amount of duties collected at
custom house is, as a general rule, fair
criterion for judging the size of the force
needed. But the Portland custom house
constitutes an exception, inasmuch as there
is very large business done at this port in
the winter time. which, though it does not
make any show in duties, requires large
force to perform it. 1t may be that the pres
emit force at the custom house can be reduced
without detriment to the service, but If the
assumption that 1t can be is based on moth
log better than the amount of duties col
lected here, it is thoroughly untrustWorthy.

admitted that their standing Was 10 in
favor Of a verdict for the plaintiff, and
two Ia favor OF the defendant. A variety
Of sums we're named rs the plaintiffs just
due, but the ten jurors In her favor finally
agreed upon $40, 600 as the amount to be
awarded. The dissenters were, 1t Is gener-
ally understood, foreman Dobb and Jury
man Wilson. The latter, 30 II is claimed,
was at first in favor OF allowing the
plaintiff damages to the amount Of $5, 600,
but after the preliminary discussion of
the case he swung over to the side OF de-
PENDANT and there he remained. After
the sentiment of the Jury was fairly and
much discussion, and all hands settled
down to walt the time Of the inevitable
discharge by reason OF disagreement.
When court opened, yesterday, Hon.
Charles b. Lore, applied for q peremp-
tory rule for second trial OF the Parvis
case at the present term. The court re-
fused, and the case now goes over until
September.
The case of George b. Stewart against
the p, w. & B. X. X. Company was then
resumed. d. +. Sullivan, a fellow-work-
man OF Stewards, said that cars were fire.
quently shifted in the car shops without
any notice to the men who were working
on them. He also said that James
Mcdowell, superintendent OF the shifting
gang In the car shops, was frequently
careless. and occasionally oame to his
work while under the influence OF liquor.
Charles SEVER testified that In his
opinion Mcdowell lacked the requisite
mechanical and executive ability for the
position he held. james II. harper tes-
titled to MoDowell's intemperance while
at work, and his general incUmpetenoy.
Isaac F. Reneer, Webster Richardson,
Charles o. Powell and william Winthrop
also excessively testified to McDowell's
incompetenoy. Stewart, the plaintiff,
was called, aud said that when he vent to
work on the car In MoDowell's depart.
ment he had heard no reports Of Nc
Dowslps incompetency and knew nothing
of his habits.
With this testimony the plaintiff rested
his case.
Senator Gray, In opening for the de-
fence, commended that the accident that
happened to the plaintiff occurred
through no negligence on the part Of bis
employers, but by reason OF his own
aarelessness, in that he was warned that
the car on which he WAS working was
about to be moved, but did not come
down, and while stepping over the girder
while the car was moving, slipped, and
was crushed between the car root and the
girder.
William Il. Lungren, general foreman Of
theP., W.&B. Fourth street shops. testified
that Mcdowell was simply foreman OF q
truck gang, without the authority to hire
and discharge and direct the operations
Of the men in the shops. He bad never
heard OF MoDowell's bad reputation for
incompetency or drunkenness around the
shops. ~ssss

ant gatherings Of the body ever held.
Some significant suggestions have been

them will be specially considered. A
proposition has been made to make q
scale which will continue for two or three
years, but will be based on the mnnufac-
turers' card rate for bar iron. 1t Is also
proposed 10 change the scale in the steel
mills in accordance with Andrew Oar
negie's ideas, but his scale is not accept
able, and will not be agreed to by the
organization.
The association It is said is willing to
extend the time of the scale but will not
chsnge 1t to the selling price Of steel as
proposed. They may make some conces-
sions as far as the manner of paying the
men is concerned but will not accept any
reduction on the present wages.

The shad season now drawing to close

far as the number of tish caught Ia CON-
oerned. The catch was much larger than
last year, but prices were lower, although
the net profits will be equally as lnrge on
account Of the big hsuls. Captain Webber
alone received 1,400 shsd yesterday
which were sold in short time, although
the consumption of this succulent fab is
rapidly on the decline and unless the
supply diminishea there will be glut on
the market. In New Castle, the market
seems to be already overstocked.
Last week was the height Of the fishing

ceptionally fine this spring. The season
