PORTLAND. Jan % 1877.
There still continues to be an unsatisfactory
tone in nearly all departments OF trade. with
few marked changes to note in leading articles
of produce or merchandise, but the volume of
business for Janury will show a falling
off as compared with the same month last year.
A good indication of extreme dullness is when
there is little or no change i'll values for long
period. Flour, Corn, Oats and Provisions re-
main quiet, with no change of consequence to
nots in figures Buyers of Flour are operating
vey cautiously, and we see no prospects of an

stocks, but they are able to supply the present
demand prices are in buyers favor, and weak,

Refined Sugars are steady at the recent decline
Some Dutch refined sugals are being offered
on this market, but they chiefly sold to the
small retail trade, owing to the fact that the
larger dealers in sugars would be deprived of
the rebate which they now receive by purChas-
ing of the trust Dutch refined Sugars are quot
ed about 1sc under the trust; but there seems
to be some objection to these because they are
put up n bags stead of barrels. besides they
are a little coarSer than trust sugars. though
the quality is said to be equal to any. Coffees

ATTORNEY OKELL BECAME EXCITED.
Because Attorney O'Malley Laid
Hands Upon n 3 itness.

Aldermen Millar and Howe, of the
Eighth and Seventeenth wards, re-
spectively, are entitled to the SYM
pathy of a forgetful public. For the
past three weeks the troubles of the
disrupted CarbOndale Furniture com
pany and its parent the Scranton and
Carbondale Furniture company have
been aired in these courts.
Nine warrents have been wasted on
the four or five principals in the
trouble. Bail has been entered by n.
kaplin under three charges In the ag-
gregate sum of $1,000 and the rest Of
the concern, Sarah Seldman, Fannie
Seidman and David Davidson, are un-
der lesser amounts of bail. All that
can be learned from the chaos of talk
masquerading as evidence is that there
were such companies, they disbanded,
some one was neeced and the evil that
firms do lives after them.
The eighth inning was played before
Alderman Howe yesterday afternoon
and the only exciting incident was
when Attorney Charles p. O'Malley
jumped up and laid stern hands on a
witness who was about to leave the
alderman's sanctum.
Take your hands off that man or I
will sue you for ASSAULT" cried At
torney Frank T. Okell. Nevertheless
the witness remained
The defendants were held in $4O0 bail
for their appearance at court. Imme-
diately after this hearing, Alderman
Howe going along as a witness, the
case was continued before Alderman
AIillar with no interesting results.

TWO MORE BOYS ARRESTED.
They Are Charged With Stealing
Brass from Engines.

Two boys, Thomas Smith and Mi
Chael Hudock, We're arrested yesterday
on charge of stealing brass from the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
machine shops and with Harry Murray
and David Schlager, whose arrest
Thursday was noted in yesterdays
Tribune, the four lads were arraigned
before Alderman Millar yesterday af-
ternOOn.
Each boy confessed his guilt and bail
in the sum of $500 was ordered in each
fault, were committed to the county
Jail and the two others who seem TO
be deserving of leniency were held on
their own recognizance.
At the hearing a quantity of brass
and iron which had been stolen was
put in evidence. Some of the stuff
was found in the junk shop of Jacob
Felt on the Scranton flats. The recov-
cry was made on virtue of a search
warrant issued by Alderman Millar.
Special officer Carman entered Felt's
place and after searching several hun
dred bags of stuff the brass cups taken
from locomotives We're found in a wash
boiler
Felt was arraigned for receiving
stolen goods and was held under $500
bail. A search warrant was also is
sued for junk shop of Max Smith, also
on the flats, but no booty was found.
The boys arrested are all under Il
years of age

WAS A LONG TIME COMING.
Frederick White Receivers Money for
Money Loaned Inst Npar.

G., J. Dawes, a commercial traveller
from New York city, was taken before
Alderman Millar yesterday on a charge
Of fraud, preferred by Frederick White,
formerly proprietor of the Wyoming
house
1t appears that in the latter part Of
1896 Dawes while boarding at the Wy
oming borrowed $25 from Mr.. White.
He neglected to pay for several weeks
and finally he gave Mr.. White a check
for S25. The check went by default
and Mr.. White when again they met
informed Dawes. This time the drum
mcr gave a judgment note for the
amount plus the protest fees.
The note also proved worthless ana
on February ~ Mr. White swOre out u
warrant for the arrest of Dawes. The
opportunity came yesterday and Depu-
ty Sheriff II. +. Ferber arrested Dawes.
He was taken before Alderman Millar
and upon paying the debt in money
with the costs, amounting in all to
over $50 he was discharged.

TO IMPROVE THE PARK.
Plans Park Commissioners Have in Mind
for Nay Aug Would Cost Over
Eighty Thousand Dollars.

During February councils passed
joint resolution requesting the park
commissioners to submit an estimate
park in good shape.
The commissioners submitted the -e-
quest to A. II. EgEerton, the landscape
gardener who was engaged two years
ago to make plan for the general i'm
provement of the park, and who in all
likelihood will superintend the con-
templated Improvements.
Mr.. Eggerton after much figuring
and several visits to the ground, gave
IT as his opinion that the park can be
made a very inviting place by the eX-
penditure, of between $4,000 and $780,
900.
First and foremost among the inn
provements contemplated is a campus
for athletic sports, base ball, foot ball,
tennis, hand ball and the like and a
good sized lake on which boating will
be possible and which will have what
is desired more than any one other APP
purtenance of a park-a good bathing
beach. Then there will be main and
subsidiary driveways, terraces and a
pergola, or balcony, overlooking the
chasm, band stand. rustic and rock
bridges, wood paths, sunken gardens
grottoes and acquatic gardens, large
pavilion, rustic shelters and retiring
rooms, benches, wagon sheds and flow
er beds and other artificial ornamental
tion. These various items he figures
out would cost about as follows:

The jury in the Davies Case Makes
the Lesson General.

The jury in the case where little Sa-
ole Davies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Davies, of Beech street, South
Side, died from burns received from a
burning heap of rubbish, met last
evening in Coroner Longstreets office
and decided upon the following ver-
diet:
1--WE, the undersigned Jurors. find
that the death Of Sarah Davies was
the result of burns from a fire which
was carelessly permitted to be built
by irresponsible children. We believe
that parents should be more watchful
in their care of children, particularly
under such circumstances as caused
Sadie Davies death. Signed Emer-
