Deterioration of New England Fleets Grim Warning

The piece details a sharp decline in Atlantic fisheries across New England led by Gloucester, noting a collapse from over 2000 ships to under 800, with many ports empty of fishing vessels. It blames protectionist policies and monopolies, contrasts past prosperity with current scarcity, and cites specific port losses and rising fish prices as evidence of a fading American fishery.

Misconduct Case Involving Mrs Mary McManus At 69 Chestnut Ave

Mrs Mary McManus was held by Commissioner J Hallett for the September term of the United States District Court on charges arising from opening a letter not addressed to her. The letter to a Brooklyn physician at 69 Chestnut Avenue Beachmont concerned the death of his aunt and may have libeled the physician’s associate. McManus admitted receiving and opening it but denied intent to aid or harm. Her father, once a doctor, testified letters addressed to him were opened by his daughter. The case centers on misdirected correspondence and alleged libelous content as authorities pursue the matter.
