An Augusta special of the 2eth saws the
supreme Court will meet at Bangor to decide
upon the advisabiity OF considering the FIN,
sionist statement. The Republican psogrAaanne
~ outlined Is ~ follows: After hearing what
the Supreme Court has to say regarding the
Fusionist statement, to have the governor issue
a proclamation commanding the dispersion of
the Fusionist government, and if anyone per-
sists in exercising administrative or legislative
functions to arrest him Immediately. Probably
the governor will give the Fusionists not over
twenty-four hours warning. The latter appear
to have entirely lost heart, and now only taG Of
an appeal to the people at the polls next
autumn.
On the 27th the supreme judicial court rem
dered is decision in answer to to the questions
submitted by the Fusion legislature. It de-
clines to recognize the said body and declares
the Republican the legal organization. The
Fusionists were very much depressed at this.
and Major Smith, their governor, said the con-
troversy is ended. He says that while the pre-
yious opinion Of the judges was based on .
Republican statement, now that Fusionist
statement had been decided against, they could
but gracefully submit. Smiths views will be
adopted by majority Of the Fusionists.

The measure Of damages in cases of injury
by railway accidents is made very liberal in
England. A surgeon named Phillips was re-
Gently injured in railroad accident 30 a. to
become incapable Of pursuing his profession.
In suit for damages the jury gave him YER
dict for $4,000, taking into account the fact
that he had been earning ss5,oOo year when
hurt. On appeal the court laid down the rul,
that railway company, in contracting to carry
passenger, contracts to carry his fortune a.
well as his person. The verdict was therefore
affirmed as reasonable.

Mr.. EDISON has encountered q new difficulty
In his electrical lamp experiments, and one that
seems almost insurmountable. 1t appears that
although the heat disseminated from the GLOW
is but one-ifteenth that of gas Jet it is suffi-
cient to crack the glass by expansion of the
platinum wires running through. Twenty-Five
per cent. OF bis lamps have broken. A crack.
however minute, renders them useless, az the
vacuum is Immediately destroyed. This is not
regarded as fatal to his scheme, but the in
creased expense occasioned thereby il an ele
ment requiring consideration.
