The St. Louis Times, of April 26, says:
a. The case OF Richard J. Lockwood ct al.
against the Sangamo Insurance Company
will prove Of considerable interest to
steamboatmen- The steamer Bridgeport
was insured for S., 900 in the Sangamo In
surance Company The payment of the
loss which ensued was resisted on the
ground that the boat was not seaw0rthy
and properly equipped when she started
from st. Louis. She was snagged and
sunk above Omaha. The Circuit Court
instructed the jury that if she was sea
worthy at the time she left St. Louis, and
that on her voyage she met with any perils
on the river by which she was lost, it is
inmaterial for the jury to consider whether,
before she met with the perils, she re-
ceived other injuries which only indirectly
or remotely contributed to the loss, or
whether negligence, eareiessness, or mis-
takes of those in charge of her, remotely
contributed to the loss. The jury rem
| dered verdict against the company,
which the Supreme Court sustains-
| A Cincinnati dispatch has the following
in regard to the accident to the Alice
| Dean:
