BANGOR, July 14.-This weeks visit of
of the revenue cutter Woodbury. to the
port of Bangor, has kicked up a rumpus
between the captain of nearly everyves-
sci in port and the government officials.
1t is well known to all those connected
in any way with sailing vessels that a
fine of 800 is imposed on the captain of
any craft who does business a single day
without having his papers aboard. The
cutter came here this week for little sur
prise party to be given commanders of
the large flock of vessels in port, and the
officials at once began their work, visit
ing different crafts. The called at every
one and if the captain happened to be up
town and had not left his papers with
the first mate, "a fine ofs$100 was at once
imposed. AS result. the captains are
around with fire in their eyes. Captain
Lord of the schooner Eva Adell: :rwho has
been loading lumber, said: II think
their action is the worst imposition on
us that eversknew. There are lots of
us who really cannot spares $500 for fines !!
at this time Of year and some iwho really
have no moneys shall sail for Boston ,
and hope that when 1 arrive there !
shall hear that my fine will be refunded"
Captain Lord says that he was up town
when the officials called on him+and The
did not think that they ywouldsfine him
whether they saw his papers or.not. The
Woodbury. reported sthe following vessels
to Collector Palmer of the custom house
as having brokenthe regulation in ques-
ton: Schooner Estelle, Hutchinson,
master, New York !; schooner Eva-Adell,
Lord, Boston; schooner Union, Reed,
fremont; schooner III. B., Metcalf, .Hodg-
kins, Bangor; schooner S. S. Kendall,
Kendall, Bangor; schooner Fan
ME Whitmore, Campbell, Rock
land; schooner Edward Everett,
Pratt, Rockland; schooner Anna r. Lew
is, Bucksport. There are eight vessels
in the list and the fines of all amount to
$500. The cutter left for Portland last
night and it is probable in the future cap
tains will watch the Penobscot closely to
see if she is coming to visit them.
Several captains declare that they will
make a fight in court against paying their
fines ON the ground that they were away
from their vessels when called upon and
that the officials have no right to impose
a fine until they find out whether they
have papers or not.
tuberculosis Again.
DR.. George FL. Bailey and Cattle Com
missioner Beal went to Six Mile Falls yes
terday afternoon and killed COW which
had bad case of tuberculosis. The an
imal belonged to Charles Hodgdon. DR..
Bailey says that he thinks that
the cow came from Massa-
chusetts and was diseased when
brought into Maine. DR.. Bailey
is now very busy looking after the differ
ent pure bred cattle throughout Maine.
He has recently examined herd of 25
thoroughbred Jerseys and Holsteins in
the Western part of Maine and he thinks
they are all diseased. They will be ex-
amined again and will probably be killed.
This herd is as valuable as those killed
at the Maine State College in 1885.
