That Ia queer decision just rendered
by Massachusetts, Court. The plain
tia, a lady, proved that she had given
her trunk TO an expressman, with in
structions 10 leave IL at the depot, and
whom she arrived at the depot her trunk
was missing, although her brothers
trunk, delivered to the same express
man, was on the platform. She sued
the express company and the railroad.
The Court decided that the expressman
had fulfilled his contract, since he had
left the trunk ON the platform; and that
the railroad company was not RESPONSE
bic, since the trunk had not been de-
livsrsd 70 them. The Court held that =

mot to it, owner. II Is doubtful II this
decision will become the established
rule. II Ii the implied contract In such
q case that the trunk shall be placed In
the hands Of the railroad company's
agents. The express company's re-
sponsibility does not cease until the
railroad company's begins. II is mon
strously absurd to ask every person who
wishes 70 take train TO make special
trip 70 the station to see that the ex-
prsssman he has employed does bis
duty, and that when his responsibility
has tsrmin tied, the railroad company
have undertaken theirs.

he PrsSsees an oiA Deed 70 Valuable
Property Claimed BY Others.
The residents of the southern end Ut
Commercial street were quite astonished
yesterday morning, on waking up, to
find that during the night good sized
building had been erected on what is
known as King street and fronting on
the east side of Commercial, and that a
fence had been built around a consider
able piece of property there. About
nine O'Clock complaint having been
made TO the Chief of Police, he proceed
ed to the new establishment and arrest
ed the proprietor, Capt. q. Piummer,
and took him before Justice Cam. The
Captain gave bonds and was released.
A reporter Of the PosT-INTxLLI6KsCKR
called ON the Captain during the day,
and received from him the following ex-
PLANTATION:
"In the early days I carried on bust
ness in Seattle, and in settling up my
affairs in 1853 found DR.. Maynard in
debted to me about 5000, and unable
to pay. As / wished to go away he
agreed to give me deed to block 5, or
what is now known as the Bullene and
McKinlay property, as soon as he per
fected his title to his land claim. When
I came back in 1862, found that May
nard had sold the block to other par
ties, and spent the money. had some
talk with him about it, and to settle the
matter up he gave me a deed to three
lots south and east, and adjoining the
said block 5. / had my deed recorded
ahd left Seattle, and have since been
sailing on the high seas. On returning
to Seattle some time since, found a
street plated through my property, and
the railroad running through it. / took
the ablest legal advice I could get in
California, and afterwards came to
Seattle and employed Judge Lewis, and
in taking possession Of my property
have followed the advice of my attor-
neys. have lost 80 much Of late that
feel cannot give up anything own"
This property is very valuable, and
the result will probably be prolonged
law suit. Captain Piummer says he is
willing TO let the courts decide his claim,
but the man that dares to tear down his
new house had better stand from under
when the structure falls. The house
was all framed at different points, and
was put together between and so clock

TRIAL TRIP.-At half past o'clock
yesterday afternoon the steamer Eliza
Anderson left Yesler's wharf for Olym-
pia, with her principal owner, Capt.
Thos. Wright, at the wheel. and Capt.
E. w. Holmes, late of the Mississippi,
acting FIRST ofioer. 90. Denny had
charge of the engines, which seemed 10
work like top. Her departure was un-
announced, and consequently but few
persons knew she was going till she was
noticed steaminR out Of the harbor at
q good rate Of speed. She seemed TO
run very we'll and make pretty good
time. She Is yet to be furnished, and
two or three weeks will probably inter-
vene before the Anderson again goes
into active operations, bat one thing is
certain. and that il that she il again in
running trim, q communication that
many predicted would never take place.
Capt. Wright has implicit confidence in
the Anderson, and II abe proves half as
valuable . piece Ut property in the
future ~ she has In the past, his fond
est hopes concerning her will be fully
realized.

steps should at once DO taken to prepare
ADJUSTMENTS for them. The interna-

THKrR WANTS RKLrKvlD.-It came to
the notice of A. w. Piper yesterday that
poor woman named Mrs. Simmons,
the mother of five small children, was
living in the northeastern portion of
town in destitute condition, and that
the children were all sick with the diph-
liberia. One had died, and another
was very low. That gentleman at once
sent some supplies to the house and then
made q short canvass of the town, to
raise funds for the unfortunate family.
In short time, through the generosity
of our citizens, that gentleman had
raised one hundred dollars, which will
be used in relieving the wants of this
much to be pitied family.

Nothing could show more strikingiy
The changes that have been wrought In
the condition Of the emanoipated slaves
Of the South since the war, than the
fact that the National Colored Military
Convention has just been holding its
sessions In ono of the chief cities Of the
Southern State Of Georgia. At this
Military Convention there were men
who twenty years ago were held a.
slaves. and Of whom the last thing to be
then thought was that they could ever
Be members Of such body. The Presi-
dent Of this Atlanta Convention was .

iss from these facts what very won
dsrful transformation has been brought
about BY emancipation.
