Political Battle and Local Scandals Stir 1880s News
The Senate did not meet yesterday while the House largely debated the Warner Silver bill. Democrats vow to expose Hayes’s stance on free elections, proposing a veto-test by re-enacting a vetoed Army Appropriation sixth section minus the word civil. Brockton’s Isaac H. Folger faces accusations of dishonest dealings as he leaves town. Boston Board of Trade discusses Hoosac Tunnel management and Fitchburg Rail withdrawal. Fatty Parker and Miles Wilson remain jailed amid incendiary fire accusations. A New York World’s Fair wrangle, Garrison’s grave illness, a Baltimore YMCCA convention, Fourth of July plans in Boston, and Maryland Jockey Club races close the report.

Four liquor cases dominate Newburyport Supreme Court session
Newburyport, May 21. The Supreme Court spent the day on four liquor cases with Johnson & Gerrish and Rogers defending. The jury is out, likely to be unable to agree. Mary Ann Carrigan of Beverly received a two year term for attempting to poison Anna Dailey. Several defendants pleaded guilty or were fined for breaking and entering or lesser offences. The session will continue next week as lawyers, the District Attorney, and others argue. A beach railroad from Black Rocks to Salisbury Beach will be built by Enoch T. North end and open by July 4. Coal prices are set by Reading Coal Company with varying rates for stove and egg. Local mills face cotton price pressures. Bartlett and Ocean have good supply, Peabody and Victoria less so.
