STORIES ABOUT MONEY.
How Honest John Brown Restored a Mans
Property-A Fourth of July Celebrator
and His Wealth-A Forty-five Dollar Bill.

and His Wealth-A Forty-fiye Dollar BiiI,
A good story is told of Mr.. John Brown
of Woodfords, who peddles vegetables
about Portland. On the morning of
July 5th, as he as coming very early into
the city, by the back road, he saw some
money lying by the roadside. near the
head of Fessenden street. He got out
of his wagon and picked up two one dol
lar bills. At night, as he was driving
back he saw man hunting in the
gutter near the place. what are YOU
looking for" sang out the Honest John
Brown.
For some money! replied the other
II had been helping a man hay here,
and after he paid me off / sat down near
here TO light my pipe. When I got home
missed my money!
How much money did you have?n q
"Two one dollar bills, a fifty cent
piece, and one cent piece
DO you KIN ow where you lighted your
pipe2"
NO.
Well, do, "replied Mr.. Brown, and he
walked to the spot where he had found
the bills in the morning. There also were
the fifty cent and one cent pieces. Then
Mr.. Brown produced the bills and gave
the whole sum to the man.
The stranger appreciated the act and
desired to give Mr.. Brown a dollar of
the money.
On the Saturday before the Fourth of
July, man appeared at the police sta
tion in state indicating that he was
about to begin an extensive celebration.
He beckoned Deputy iHartnett aide and
telling him that he wanted to leave
some moneyAwith him, produced forty
eight dollars. The deputy took the mon
ey and gave the man receipt for it.
The stranger wanted two dollars of
the sum to take with him but was per-
suaded that he would better leave it ali.
The money has been awaiting the
stranger atsthe station since that night,
but he has not appeared. 1t is surmised
thatfhe did not remember the incident
when his celebration was over and is
now bemoaning his foolishness in losing
SO much money
Few people ever saw a forty-fve dollar
bill, yet at one time in the history of
this country bills of this odd denomina-
ton were issued; and Mr.. George E.
Hawkes. of this city, possesses one. 1t is
piece of paper about three and half by
two and half inches in size and bears
the promise to pay the bearer forty-fve
Spanish milled dollars, or an equal
sum IN gold or silver, according to re-
solve of Congress of January IA, 1779.
The bill is rudely engraved, and bears
the name of the printers Hall and Sell
lers, 1779." 1t is continental currency.

bee hive with the Latin motto Isle

NO STRIKE IN MAINE.
Grand Master Workman Sovereign Has
But 400 Followers in this State

The labor unions of Portland will not
strike at the order of Grand Master Work
man Sovereign. The unions do not belong
to the Knights of Labor, but to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, of which Mr..
Samuel Gompers is the head, and he can
not order strike, but can assess other I'M
ions to help a union on a strike. Mr.. FIJI.
Hatch of Portland.is president of the Maine
branch. and says he has no power to order
a general strike in Maine. The membership
of the American Federation of Labor in
Maine is about $500, of the Knights of
Labor only about 400, mostly in Biddeford
Augusta and Rockland.

Maine Apples.

Along the Eastern and Western Diyis-
ion of the Boston and Maine railroad
apples are reported as seriously affected
by the blight, and fruit falling from
the trees. The blossoms were so heavy
however, this spring, that the trees
may yet bear fairly well. No reliable
prediction can yet be made as to tho
outcome of thsl important crop. Renorts
from many apple sections of the state
are to the effect that the fruit is faIlino
off largely, due it is supposed to the
attack of a worm or blight. Tt is n bo
hoped that the promise of a good crop
is not to be broken, as it will take MANY
thousands of dollars from farmers and
packing departments. The same renort
comes from New York state.

MRS. DELANEY's TONGUE.
bridled as to Constitute Her Brawler
and RaiIer,

The police court yesterday morning was
enlivened by the trial of Mrs. Mary j.
Delaney. of Hammond street, on charge
of being a common "railer and brawler.
1t seems that Mrs. Delaney's tongue has
been making it lively for her .neighbors,
among whom is Mrs. Mary O'Donnell.
At times Mrs. O'Donnell would go by
Mrs. Delaney's house, and the latter
would abuse her most roundly, until
Mrs. O'Donnell could stand it no longer,
and brought suit.
Many neighbors were called as witness
es, and the whole neighborhood had a
chanc e to air its grievances.
Dennis Meaher, ESQ.,, appeared for
Mrs. Delaney, and Fred V. Matthews,
ESQ.,, for the State.
Judge Gould decided that Mrs. Delaney
was free with her tongue, and dis
ohared her without acquitiing her. The
matter is left in such a way that Mrs.
Delaney must bride her tongue.
Other cases before the court were:
Peter j. Shea, Morris P. Costello,
Chas. A. Smith and Henry W. Libby,
three dollars and costs for intoxication.
Lizzie J.Stanton, intoxication, IS days
in jail.
Patrick F. Duran, larceny, SIS and costs.

A very rich gold ledge is report
ed to have been discovered IN Ida

stream called Willow creek. A
vein 81 feet wide has been uncoy.

from 81 900 to $4,000 to the ton.

the recent sale OF a mine In that
section the Keystone on Battle
creek-to a New York syndicate
for $250.000-actual cash paid. not
