AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Great Victory for Ex-U S. Marshal Har-
mon.

The case of Charles B. Harmon, form
er UnitedStates marshal in this state, VS..
the United States, was tried in the Unit
ed States Circuit Court in this city on
September %, 1890, before Mr.. Justice
Gray and Judge Colt. In that case judg-
ment was rendered for the plaintiff for
$764. 12 and $50. Is costs. The claim was
one of fees while marshal of the United
States from March 9, 1886 to October 1,
1888. Many important questions were
involved, one of which was the right of
marshals who had writs to serve at Free
port, Brunswick, Waterville and Bangor,
to demand travel to each of these places
instead of only travel to Bangor.
The case was appealed by the United
States and taken to the U. S. Supreme
Court. On the 10th of this month the
opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr.. Justice Blatchford affirming the
Judgment of the Circuit Court and sus
tanning Mr.. Harmon's claim in full. The
case was argued for the plaintiff by Mr..
Edward NJ. Rand of this city, and for the
United States by Solicitor General c. N.
Aldrich. This is great victory for Mr..
Rand and Mr.. Harmon.

Deaths from wild Beasts and snakes

Few persons have any conception of the
number Of deaths caused in some Of the
sections of Hindoostan each year by wild
beasts and snakes. In 1891 about $50 more
persons were killed in India than during
the preceding year. The number killed in
1880, however, was very low; still the fig
ures Sr 1891 are about $50 iA excess Of the
mean. The yearly average cfpersons killed
by wild beasts in India is between 2, 800 and
1900. The mortality from snake bites is
much greater, varying from 21,0o0 to "a, 600
annually. In e.nedistrict of Bengal, Hazari-

1891 to single brood Of man eating tigers.
