 Sues For 1000 Damages. l The suit of Patrick Mccarthy vs. Robert | Adams was defaulted by the defendant and 8 hearing in damages ensued before Judge | Fenn of the civil side of the Superior court. \ The plaintiff is a boy who had his hand | smashed and arm broken in a machine of de- fendant's cotton factory. He sues for $5.00O damages. MT. Adams claims that the injury l resulted through no negligence of his own, l but by the boy's own carelessness and diso- | bedience of instructions. Dr. Francis Bacon | testified as to the boys injuries.
 Postmaster Samn11s Bound over. John F. Sammis, the postmaster of Cooper, | was yesterday bound over to the United
 States district court which meets on Febru- l ary 28, by United States Commissioner Wright. United States District Attorney l Stanton prosecuted. The evidence against l Sammis was give by Postofice Inspector Bario, who had visited the Cooper postofice 1 on January 9. He foundthat Sammis should have had $90.29 in money and stamps on hand as the amount belonging to the govern ment. Instead of this sum, however, he found only stamps to the value of about $6, and money enough to bring the total up to $8.54. This left deficit of $31. .75, which Sammis could not account for. Sammis had no counsel yesterday and made no statement, prefering to wait until his trial.
