More About j. Malcolm Forbes's Pur'
chase of the Wonder.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-1n Arion,
J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston now pos
sesses the most promising trotter IN the
world Two months ago, as two-year-
old, Arion made the phenomenal per
Torrance of mile in 2.10f. Should nc
go on increasing his speed as he develops
Arion will make the trotting record OF
the world in the coming summer. Arion
is rich bay, Is hands high, and is by
Electioneer- Monette.
1t has been currently stated that Mr..
Forbes paid $4,000 for the colt. This
Senator Stamford refuses to either con-
firm or deny. He thinks such state
ment would come with better grace from
Nh. Forbes. He says, however, thai he
sold Arion for % greater price than any
horse was ever disposed at before.
Mr.. Forbes is also the possessor of the
great trotting mare Nancy Hanks, whom
many believe to be the greatest trottel
living, and III her Arion will find wor-
thy stable mate.

The Kent Telescope.

The telescope in the observatory on the
top of the Park street block was given to
the Natural History Society last fall, by
the Kent heirs who own the house, which
was formerly occupied by Miss Cross, 35 or
40 years ago. Miss Cross kept fashiona-
Bile private school and was an enthusiastic
astronomer. 1t was she who built the
observatory and purchased the telescope,
and she was accustomed to spend good
deal of time there in the night, studying
the heavens. Prof. Fuller says that as
soon as possible the telescope will be
transferred to the roof Of the Natural
History building. It has six-inch OBJ
jective, is seven feet long, and Harvard
professor, who has used it here, says that
it is much better than similar one that
he himself had purchased.

Held for Stealing a Dory.

Yesterday morning, at 10 O'Clock, a
large number of Gloucester fishermen,
held in port by the heavy fog, occupied
the benches in the United States court
room to hear the case of William Nc
Donald, adjourned overb by Commissioner
Rand from Wednesday afternoon, for
stealing a compass from the schooner
Olive Robinson. The Commissioner dis
charged Mcdonald on this complaint and
a recess of an hour was taken for the
preparation of paper charging him
with the theft of dory from the same
vessel.
When the court reassembled, three
witnesses were called by the government
the owner of the Robinson, the captain
and cook at..the time of the alleged theft
The owner testified to his ownership OF
the vessel. The captain testified to his
going away from the vessel, and on his
return finding the dory and other articles
gone, besides Mcdonald, who was one OF
the crew, and several others of the men.
The cook testified that Mcdonald helped
get the boat into the water, and that the
other men went also; that they steered
with the aid of the compass towards
what appeared to be land in the distance,
and then changed their route and were
picked up by a vessel, and that they
took the dory on the vessel with them.
Mcdonald testified he didn't have any
thing to do with the stealing of the dory,
and didn't participate in the theft of any
of the articles.
Mr.. George Libby, for defendant
claimed probable cause had not been
shown, but the Commissioner thought
differently and bound over Mcdonald in
$500 to the next term of the Circuit
Court and committed him.
