the FARMINcToN BOND CASE.
Judge Colt DIsnnisses the Case
Against the Village Cooperation.

The Pennington bond case has been dis
missed in the United States Circuit Court.
The Revised Statutes say that every writ be-
fore entering the court shall be
endorsed by some sufficient inhabi-
tant Of the State. where the
plaintiff Is not an inhabitant thereof. IL
such endorsement is not provided the action
shall be dismissed and the defendant recover
his costs, or, again. when an endorsement o
a writ is called for or security for costs re-
quired, and none is furnished, the action
shall be dismissed.
When this action was entered the plain
tiffs, upon motion Of the defendants, were
ordered to furnish security for costs in the
sum of $3.50, within ten days, or the action
would be dismissed. This was on April 23d
Of this year. On Tuesday last, Judge Colt
presiding, Mr.. Libby appeared in court for
the plaintiffs and Mr.. Putnam for the defend
ants. Mr.. Putnam moved the dismissal of
the su 1t. Judge Colt asked Mr. Libby II the
plaintiffs had furnished the requisite securi-
ty, and Mr.. Libby replied that he had notl-
fed his clients, but that security was not
forthcoming. Judge Colt said he would al
low the case to remain open through the
day, In order to give an opportunity LOT iuI-
nishing the security, but IL at tne emu OF .nas
time it was not given. the case would be dis.
missed. The security was not furnished and
the case was dismissed.
II is reported that the Pennington people
are yery much excited over the dismissal OF
the suit, There Is no occasion Tor excite
ment' Its dismissal has nothing to do with
the merits OF the case. 1t settles nothing
exeept the termination OF that particular
sniff. Holders Of bonds are perfectly at lib
erty to proceed anew.

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
1t Is an Experienced Hands and VIII
Be Run on Business Principles.

There is probably at the present time, no
Office In Maine where so much real work Is
done. as in the office of Chief Clerk r. G.
Hale of the Railway Mail Service. There
have been many changes In this corps Of the
public service made; and in nearly every
case the clerks removed have been replaced
with the old clerks, who had, had the years
Of experience that are necessary to the proper
conducting Of this wonderful mail business.
Mr.. Hale. the chief clerk. has an intense in
tereSt in the work, a peculiar adaptability
for it, and an untiring anxiety to have in the
words Of Nelson ''every man to do his duty"
1t would be very peculiar II for the first trip
or so Of even old clerks, errors should not be
made; as they are not so familiar with the
arrangement Of their cars, as they were
when they left them. When these ex-
perienced clerks have made q few trips,
then the per centage of errors will be re-
duced to minimum, as the people Of Maine
will realize to their pleasure In the prompt
receipt of their daily papers, and Of the
many valuable and important letters daily
travelling in mail car. Many improve
ments in the facilities have been planned
and executed since the present chief clerk
assumed this Office. Among them are the
following important ones: Mail from Port
land and points east Of here for Manchester
and Concord, N. H., is now forwarded some
three hours by a new and important con-
nection; mail from Portland for Cumber-
land Centre and Freeport, in the morning.
forwarded some five hours; the morning
mail from Boston for Fryeburg, Bridgton
and stations between Fabyan's and Portland
is now forwarded from one TO three hours,
by being sent from Conway Junction to
North Conway there to connect with the
east bound train for Portland; some twelve
additional pouches have been added to this
train, thus forwarding a large volume Of
mail.
1t Is the imperative duty Of all postal
clerks and pOstmasters to mark each and
every error that Is found in mail received;
new clerks are particularly instructed re-
garding this law before entering upon their
duties. Superintendent w. III. Bigelow pur-
poses to give to the mountain and sea shore
resorts OF New England better service than
ever before enjoyed by them; and In the im-
portant changes contemplated our city will
not suffer.
For the first time for nearly four years 1t
Is possible to feel that degree OF assurance
regarding the mail service, that is felt by an
employer who has as employees only skilled
and the best workmen.
