THE DEFENDANTS ANSWER.
Was Filed in the United States Court Yes
tereay-In the Case of the Sinking OF
the Python by the Addie Snow.

1t will bersremem bered thata short
time ago the PRESS announced the en-
tering in the United States Court of a
case in admiralty, wherein Isaac M.
Grant owner of the schooner Python
brougt libel against the schooner Adj
die E. Snow for running into the Python
and sinking her near Pollock Rip light
ship several years ago.
Yesterday the answer of the defen-
dants the owners of the Addie e. Snow
was filed with Judge Webb. Theyiad-
NIT the collision and the sinking of the
Python, but they deny that the schoon-
er, alleged to be at anchor was in the
way of the Python or that the Addie E.
Snow had time to change her course af-
ter the abrupt change of the Pyton, or
to dosanything to avoid the collision.
The answer also says that the defen-
dants. have no knowledge of the other
schooner, the charlotte Fish, "but are
informed that she has since been lost.
The answer declares that the collision
was due to the change of course sand
luffing Of the Python.under the bow. of
the Addie E. Snow, when it was impos-
sible to avoid her, that the Python had
no proper loook and did not see the
Snow as she should have done. that there
was no competent officer in charge. and
THAI the Python, though running free,
did not keep out of the way of the Snow,
which was required by law to keep her
course.
Wherefore the defendants pray that
the libel may he dismissed with costs.
The case will eventually come up for
trial and be argued by the counsel.

STOLE A BABY.
And Then Tried to Sell It-Pecullar Freak
of a Drunken Man.

Yesterday, on Commercial street police
officer saw wheeling baby In
carriage. The man was evidently under the
influence of liquor and was offering the
baby and carriage for sale TO whoever
would buy. He even offered to sell it to the
policeman. though the value he set on it we
didn't learn. The man said that he lived
on Green street and the offices, supposing
the baby belonged to him told him to go
home with it. The man started off and so
did the officer, a little farther along ne met
a distracted woman who lost her baby. She
just went into house for minute, leaving
the baby outside, and when she came out
the baby was gone. The officer Immediately
hurried back after the drunken man. He
soon found the baby abandoned on the side
walk, but the man had disappeared.
That sort of drunk is rather a serious
matter. 1t savors more of insanity than in
toxication.

quarters at Fort Preble in Portland Larbor.
Among those at the reunion yesterday
was Capt. j. j. Emerson of Jamaica Plains.
Mass, who was among the first to befen-

TENDER, 1861. With six others he went to
Fort Preble by sail boat, there being no
ferry boat then The small ironclad
katahdin was there in process of construc-
ton at the Portland company's works.
There were no guns for the new recruits
and.they drilled with wooden ones at nrst.
The regiment was stationed here from '6l to

stantly coming and part of the regiment
was always at the front.
This association of the members of this
regiment was formed in Boston in 1890. 1t
was the first and only association OF regu-
lar army regiment ever formed. Segt. 5. >.

promotion of the project. The first reunion
was held at Boston at the Parker house in
