A Perilous NIishap.

Captain Leeman of the schooner Amy
Wixtn, relates perilous mishap that be-
fell him this trip while spearing sword
fish on Georges Banks. sThe captain was
in the '9pulpit" on the end of the bow
spirit and had just driven the iron into a
swordf1sh, when the vessel gave lurch
which threw him violently to one side.
He is heavy man and the strain was
more than the bolts that fastened the
pulpit to the bowsprit could stand. Down
went the captain and the pulpit and all.
The pulpit, which is made of iron, sunk
instantly, but Captain Leeman somehow
got clear of it and caught hold of some of
the rigging of the bowsprit and hung on
for dear life, though every plunge the
vessel made ducked him over head and
ears in the sea. He was rescued from this
dangerous plight by two of the crew,
who, with great courage and promptitude
climbed along and hauled him on board.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

Yesterday afternoon the court was
T. Maxwell against Myer Abrams and
John Berry. 1t is a suit upon an order
upon the Portland and Rumford Falls
Railway company for $723 81 signed by
the defendants payable to the plaintiff.
John Berry was the contractor to build
the extension of the Rumford Falls Rail-
way, and Maxwell, the plaintiff. was a
sub-eontractor. building stonework for
bridges. At the completion OF his work
there was due him $723 for which he re-
ceived the above order. The company re-
fused to pay it on the ground that there
was nothing due Berry.
Myer Abrams is the only party defend
ing the suit. 1t appears that before
October when the order was given, the
railroad company had notified the sureties
on Berry's bond, one OF whom was
Abrams, that Berry was not pushing his
work as he should, and that it had be-
come apparent to them that he would not
be able to complete his contract, and that
for their own protection they had better
look after it. Abrams soon appeared up
on the scene of operations, and, according
to the testimony of Maxwell, assumed in
part the duties and liabilities of Berry !;
that he paid him, Maxwell, money on. his
ontract and paid laborers.
Maxwell further claims that Abrams
promised him that if he, Maxwell, would
not sue him and trustee the company. he,
Abrams. would pay him the amount of
his claim; that he did forbear to sue and
that was the consideration for Abrams
signing the order.
On the part of the defendant it is
claimed that Abrams was not on the line
of the road at this time to look after his
interests as surety on Berry's bond, but
to look after his individual interests as
assignee of funds due Berry from the
railroad company; that he had loaned
Berry a large amount of money and
taken an assignment of which the rail-
road company had notice.
Thereupon the company refused to pay
Berry any further money OF to pay any
on his account unless by the consent of
Abrams, the assignee.
This order. as claimed by Abrams. was
first given by Berry and presented to the
company. 1t was brought by Maxwell to
Abrams saying the company wanted his
signature before they would pay it.
Abrams supposing he was merely con-
senting to the payment of the money
signed the order. In other words, he
claims that there was no consideration
for the order; that he owed Maxwell
nothing and never assumed any liability
of Berry's Decision reserved.
Swasey and Briggs for plaintiff.
E. NJ Rand for defendants.

soon as the party had boarded the cars
the motorneers (the motorman is mo-
torneer on the Cape line) turned the
handles and the ride began. The line to
Rigby was first passed over. The cross
ing of the Boston''& Maine track at Pleas
antdale has already been completed, and
the cars made continuous run from
Knightville to Rigby. After this line had
been passed over. the cars were turned
onto the other section of the ROAD and
