Told In a Few Lines.

A Maryland man accused of kissing a pretty girl has proved an alibi. Give him the limit of the law. Charles Ewald, aged 65, while switching cars with his team at Daggett, Mich., fell across the track, the carwheels passing over him, killing him. The firm of Morton, Bose & Co., bankers at London, will be reorganized on Jan. 1, Mr. Rose retiring. The firm thereafter will be known as Morton, Chaplin & Co. William C. Woodward, alias “Big Hawley,” who was convicted at New York of attempted blackmail on Samuel W. Brigham, was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. The amount of damages claimed by the owners of the steamer La Conadienne, which was in collision with the United States cruiser Yantic, is understood to be about SIO,OOO. What’s this! A dispatch from Maine states that “this season’s importation of French sardines will be light, owing to the small catch of young herring off the , Maine coast.” Can it be?
