THE ANNIE r. sToRER.
She Foundered February 1st-Au Hands
Saved.

A despatch received yesterday from
Bermuda announced that the Norwegian
bark Isploven, from Charleston, had, on
February 9Th, landed at Bermuda, Cap
tain W. P. Richardson, wife and crew, of
the Portland brig Annie R. Storer, which
foundered February 1st. Particulars of
the disaster were not given. The Annie
r. Storer left Philadelphia for Havana,
with coal, on January 9th, and must
have met her disaster short distance
out. The Storer was a brig of All tons,
built in Waldoboro in 1869. She was
valued at $4,000; partially insured. The
larger part of her was owned by W. S.
Jordan & Co., of this city. Captain
Richardson lives on Cranberry Isles, and
is young man, having commanded for
the firm for about two years. Previously

A WARDEN SUED.
Boston Boat People Say Short HOLSTERS
Must Be Paid For.

It will be remembered that several
weeks ago Fish Warden Cushman board
ed the Boston boat one night as it was
leaving port, seized II barrels OF short
Holsters and threw them into the water
when the steamer was just outside the
breakwater. The steamship company
are responsible for the value of the lob
sters, which they had accepted as freight
and were therefore bound to deliver.
So the company has brought action
against Warden Cushman, Benz. Thomp-
son, ESQ.,, being their attorney. The
case is returnable on the 29th in the
United States Court and will prove of
much interest to those concerned in en-
forcing the lobster laws. 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Thompson that under recent de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court, notably in the Iowa case, and OF
the state court that a cargo cannot be
interfered with in transit without rem
dering the one who interferes liable I'M
der the interstate commerce law.
Mr.. Thompson raised the same point
in the Municipal Court yesterday fore
noon, in the case against the Merryco-
neag. Those Holsters were brought
from point down the bay consigned to
NewYo rk parties. 1t is now held that they
could not be interfered with without vio
lating the interstate commerce law. The
Judge reserved his decision until Mon
day.
1t will be at once apparent that this
construction, if maintained, will have an
important effect on the enforcement of
the fish and game laws of this state.
