A Rate War Along the Coast.
RoCKLAND, July 22.-The warfare be-
tween Captain Charles Deering and the
Portland, Mt. Desert and Machias Steam
boat Company (Which is really the Maine
Central Railroad) is becoming interesting,
and our citizens are already reaping the
benefit of the same.
For some years Capt. Deering has been do
ing some business along this coast, but this
year he has formed the Boston, Bar Harbor
and Machias Steamboat Company. which has
the steamer John Brooks on the route,
touching at the same eastern landings and on
the same days, but not compelling passen-
gers to leave the Maine ports so early in the
morning, as does the Richmond.
The John Brooks has been running only
about two weeks, and yet the price of tickets
from Castne to Boston by the City of Rich
mond, the Maine CentraPs boat, has been
reduced to 1925, while from the ports
around Machias they are sold for 81. This
ARRANGEMENT has just taken effect, but Capt.
Deering says the John Brooks is prepared to
meet these rates or any others which the
other company may make.
Old George hayden's Money.
AUGUSTA, July 22.-It is still remembered
that some time since one Geo. c. Hayden
died suddenly in st. Louis. He was re-
puted to be bachelor, and left property to
the value Of some 100000, which is now in
the hands of the public administrator at st.
Louis. The heirs live in Winslow and
Waterville, and last week were engaged in
taking dispositions to prove their identity as
his kindred and legal heirs. But new and
unexpected complication has arisen. A
woman residing in Chicago has appeared,
and claims that she was the daughter Of
Hayden by a divorced wife, therefore becom-
| ing his only heir. A firm of Chicago lawyers
and we'll known Kennebec lawyer, have
been retained in her behalf, and If her claim
is established the up river heirs are left out
| in the cold
