The Sullivan Cases

The case of the state against Haley and
sullivan was called in the Municipal Court
yesterday, Assistant County Attorney True
conducting the governments case. The case
was that when the sheriffs visited the shop
at Ill Centre street Al bottles of lager were
found outside the building In a yard with a
well defined path leading to window in
Sullivan's place. On entering the shop
again they found Haley and Sullivan sitting
In stall. A boy came in with paper and
Haley took the money to pay the boy from
the money draw On this sign of ownership
the sheriffs arrested him as proprietor.
Sterling and Plummer testified to the same
effect.
An effort was made by the defense to show
that the liquor was in the yard and that it
was used by other parties. John w. Sulli-
van testified that he had sold all interest In
tine premises In 1888 and had nothing to do
with the place. While Mr.. Sullivan lived
over the place and was there frequently, yet
he was not positive that anything intoxicat-
ing was sold there although he had seen
what looked like beer passed over the bar.
John w. Haley was put on the stand and
admitted he was the proprietor of the place
Ill Centre street. He denied any knowl-
edge of the liquor and that he had sold any
liquor at his place.
As several points remained to be explained
the case was continued until this morning.
In the case of the seizure of the barrels of
cider from the cellar of Sullivan's, owing to
the absence of two important witnesses the
case was continued one week. The missing
witnesses. Harry Burnham and George 81.
Fuller, were defaulted and capias issued,

RockIand Republican and the Aus
traIian Ballot.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
A recent article from the Rockland CORES
pendent Of the Portland Express so utterly
mlsrepresents the sentiment OF the Republi-
cans of this city in regard to the Australian
ballot bill that there seems to be a demand
for Its being refuted. To say that the senti-
ment in favor of the Australian ballot Is con-
fined largely within the Democratic party in
this city. is an unmitigated falsehood, 1t has
no foundation in fact; or that large part of
the Republicans who favor the bill are polit-
ically disgruntled" Is a libel on the repub-
licanism Of the petitioners.
Inere was one petition sent from this city,
neaded py the distinguished Attorney Gem
eIal OF the state. on which there was in the
cans, men of intelligence and active. agrees
I've. loyal Republicans. Men whose political
fortunes have Tor years been linked with
that OF the Republican party, men who have
never had any thought of ailylng themseIyes
with any other party. That petition can be
analyzed In any presence and will bear the
impress OF true Republicanism. There were
nearly If not quite as many Republicans on
the petitions that have been sent from this
city, asking for the passage Of the law, as
the aggregate vote of the entire Democratic
party In this city at the last state election.

Handsome Lumber.

In the new shed of Mr.. Frank Dudley, on
Hobson's wharf, 700 feet long, built to re-
place that destroyed by the fire last year, one
sees about two and half million feet of pine
and spruce lumber in joists, boards and
planks. piled, arranged and assorted as
neatly as the wares on merchants shelves.
There are about one hundred different piles,
representing as many different sizes of lum-
Der, all numbered. and from the tables in
the Office the exact locality and quantity on
hand of any given size can be instantly de-
termined. To illustrate the nicely with
which this vast amount of lumber is so ar
ranged that any portion of 1t. like any book
In library, is Instantly available, the fol-
lowing fact is of interest: Mr.. Dudley want
ed small ash board. In that great shed,
70xS0 feet, filled from end to end with thou
sands of boards. there were about dozen of
these ash boards, yet reference to the tables
made 1t possible to find them without the
least difficulty. To keep this vast storehouse
in this nicely of order, and to select there
from any size or quality at a moments no.
tice, to supply the demands Of sale, is the
duty of the overseer, Mr.. John Stevens OF
Deering, and board out of place would dis.
turb his tranquility of mind as much as an
uneven picture would ruffis the satisfaction
Of Yankee housewife. Those even piles
are beautiful to him. and indeed some of the
great pine planks. from two to three feet
wide. and four inches thick, without a knot
or flaw, are beautiful to any one. They are
sent to Bangor. made into doors, and reship-
ped to Portland and sold. In Milliken's
shed, next wharf, 6.OOO 900 pine and spruce
is waiting for the Argentine Republic to re-
cover from its financial panic

Foreign Thieves Arrested

Three peddlers, a man and two boys, have
been about town for some days. They are
said TO be Russians or Poles. Yesterday
morning two boys went into Mrs. John Sex
toms house on Vesper street. She had Just
laid on the mantel $35 in money, which her
husband had received from the Portland
Company. The boys tried to sell some
trifing articles and then asked for something
to eat She brought them some food and
then left the room to get them drink Of
water. When she came back they seemed
in great haste to leave and departed i'm
mediately. Then she thought about the
money and found that 1t was gone She at
once notified the police, who very quickly ar
rested the boys and the man besides. They
at first refused to give up the money, declin-
ing to tell what they had done with it, but in
the afternoon 1t was recovered.

Where Portland Gets Its Lamb.

In the height of the season, during the
summer, one of behring's butchers sells IS
lambs in this city every day. All these
lambs come from Canada; they are better
than Maine lambs and can be raised there
cheaper. All the way from $50 to 200 lambs
day are eaten in Portland during the sum-
mer. That means at least 1870 lambs dur
ing the season. which lasts from the middle
OF June until November. Nearly all of
these lambs come from Canada. There are
spring lambs for sale even now, but there is
little demand for them. they are so dear.
The wholesale dealers get 30 cents a pound
for them. The prices decrease from now I'm,
August, when wholesalers get only 10 cents
pound,

Daniel Goulding. the young man arrested
on charge of stealing from the PASSPORT
post office, was brought to this city by In
spector Bario, arriving yesterday noon. He
will be brought before the United States
Commissioner at II o'clock, noon, today.
1t appears that Gouldipg is the son of
well-to-do people in Eastport. and is EN-.
ployed in the post office at that place as
clerk, by the postmistress. Miss McGraw.
Goulding has physical infirmity, and there
fore his family paid for his board and
clothes and he kept his salary of 81 week
for pocket money. For year his pecula-
tions have been going on and amount to sew
eral hundred dollars. When first arrested
Goulding stoutly declared his innocence, but
when searched the decoy money was found
on his person. He then confessed. Mr.. w.
81. Looney will appear for Goulding.
While the amount involved was not large,
owing to the peculiar location of Eastport,
and the fact that other towns are connected
with its route, it was difficult to detect the
