TINE OCEAN TRAFFIC.
Will the Ocean Steamers Run Direct
ar this winter?

A report is current in the city that the
Allan and Dominion lines OF steamers VIII
not touch at Halifax the coming winter sea
son, but win run direct, as formerly. be-
tween Portland and Liverpool.
While all knowledge of such matters is
confined to the official heads Of the service,
a gentleman Of this city, we'll posted usually
In regard to the ocean traffic, states that he
should not be surprised If the report proved
true. He says that when the Dominion gov
eminent decided to give the mail contract to
the Andersons Of London. although 1t does
not 20 into effect for two years, it will event
ually shut both the Allan and Dominion
lines out of an important feature Of the
carrying trade With the Andersons' ves-
sells running to Halifax as mail boats 1t will
be no object to thu Allan and Dominion
boats to compete with them there. Then
again, the Canadian Pacific will have the
best of the business with the new line. The
Allan and Dominion lines have done in the
past, and at present do, their business with
the Grand Trunk. 1t is much easier and
safer to run the boats direct from Portland
to Liverpool than via Halifax, and better
time can be made 6 The Allans, so 1t is said,
are building, and about to build, fine large
steamers, of even greater capacity than the
Partisan, and are turning some of their, at
present, best boats like the Sarmatian, into
cattle boats. The theory is that by running
their steamers direct in winter-and perhaps
even during greater part Of the year-to
Portland, and connecting with fast Grand
Trunk freight and passenger trains, in nine
cases out of ten better time will be made in
the delivery of freight and passengers be-
tween Liverpool, Montreal, Ottawa and the
West, than by the Andersons and Canadian
Pacific via Halifax.
In the meantime, before the new contract
goes into force between the government and
the Andersons, there will be no special OBJ
ject In the Allans and Dominion continuing
to.touch at Halifax, going and coming, for
the mails. The passengers will prefer Port
land as the port of entry and departure. The
freight will be obtained, as it always is, I'M
der the Grand Trunk contract. 1t will be no
object for any other line to touch at Halifax,
delaying their own trips. for the Dominion
mails, and therefore the government will
have to send them to Portland if they want
them carried, or to Tsome other American
port like Boston or New York, which would
hardly pay.
Such is the story, and time viii tell how 1t
turns out

COMMITTEES ON NEW STREETS.
Important Business Transacted Last
Evening.
The Extension Of High Street said to
Have Been Acted on.

The committee on laying out new streets
held meeting in the Mayors Office last eve
ming.
1t was voted that the matter OF the dlscon-
tinuance of c street be postponed until Mr..
Webb could furnish definite figures as to
what damages he should claim in case the
street should be discontinued.
1t was voted that street be laid out, 60
feet wide, direct extension of Island ave-
nue. to the Methodist church, on Peaks
Island. and that damages be awarded to
Sarah E., g. Phoebe Frye at six cents per
foot, and to purchase the rest of Phoebe
Frye's lot for the benefit of the school house /;
also that the street be called Church avenue
If agreeable to the island people. ..sss
II was rumored last night that the CON-
mittee considered the proposition to extend
High street to the tannery and decided
unanimously that as the appropriations for
this year were all made and the rate of taxa
ton decided, this city government
hadn't the means to build the extension but
would recommend such action to the next
city government. Furthermore, in their
opinion, after the street was extended to the
tannery the city would not be free from the
offensive odors Of that locality. To accom-
plish that work it would have to be extended
through the tannery.

A Forthwith Jury.

Yesterday Judge Bonney sent request to
the Board Of Aldermen for six additional
jurors. Notices were also sent to Fieeport
and Deering for three additional jurors from
each place, so as to make a full jury Of
twelve.
1t used to be the custom In the Superior
Court to have two full juries-traverse
juries as they are called-drawn before the
term Of the Superior Court. While one jury
was trying case the other jury sat unem-
ployed. and sometimes, when there was no
immediate business on hand both juries were
idle. OF course this was great expense to
the county. and Judge Bonney, in the in
terest of economy, decided to have hut one
jury. Usually this jury answers every
purpose, but sometimes the prisoner, by his
right Of challenge, does not have full jury
to try his case. Then a, so.called, forth
with jury is drawn to fill the places of these
jurymen placed aside. The word 'forth-
WITH" In this connection, means that the
jury must be drawn forthwith
In pursuance with the venire issued by
Judge Bonney the Board of Aldermen drew
on the jury Abiel Carter, Jerome Rumery,
Curtis H. Simonds, VIM. Il. Sargent, the
grocer, Joseph K. Brett and Daniel f. Lar
rabee.

pauper relative of his on the farm one Sunday,
and Edwards refused to let him speak with him :
that upon bis demonstrating Edwards and MS two
sons assaulted him without any provocation
knocked him down aud bruised him badly. The
case came up to this conrt on appeal from Trial
Justice Cobb.
The testimony for the defense was that Jllson
came there with the avowed purpose Of taking
this imbecile pauper away from the farm TO help
him, Jillson do his haying; that Edwards told him
he could not have him without permit from the
selectmen, as they had instructed him not to let
the man off the farm as he had fits and was dan
gerous that thereupon Jillson grabbed Edwards
TO thrust him faside, and Edwards threw him
down; that no blow was struck either by him or
by the boys, and that the only bruise or mark JILL
son had was caused by the fall There were so
many credible disnterested witnesses of the af-
