The special service at the First Baptist

as a roll call of the members. A very large
representation of the church gathered 10 the

After few words of introduction by the
pastor the roll was called all members pres

pENosscoT COUNTY 8. J. COURT
BEFORE JUDGE HASKELL.


BANGOR, October q.
Benjamin B. Thatcher VS.. the Maine Cen.
trail Railroad Company. The plaintiff sued
to recover the value of 1850, 804 feet of pine
boards, 81, S51 feet of timber and 3l8 NJ board
sticks, amounting to ST., $4,000, piled along
the line of the defendant company's railroad
at Milford, and consumed by the big fire al
that place on the 10th of April last The
plaintiff claimed that the fire was set by
sparks from one of the defendant compauy's
locomotives, and sought to recover upon two
grounds, namely: First, by force of a statute
making the railroad company responsible in
such cases, and, second. because Of the care
less management by defendants servants Of
defective locomotive. The evidence intro
duced by the plaintiff failed to prove the
quantity of lumber consumed, and the writ
failed to set out certain further causes of
negligence upon which the plaintiff relied.
The presiding Justice intimating that he
should rule that the statute relied upon did
not apply to such movable property as was
sued for In this case, the plaintiff moved for
continuance In order that he might amend
his writ in the particulars desired and have
an opportunity for showing the quantity OF
lumber consumed. The motion being as
scented to by the defendant, the case was
withdrawn from the jury and continued
The case is one of a great deal of interest for
the reason that the result In this suit will
probably settle the liability In five or six
other cases against the company based upon
the same state of facts.
