surface waters very liable TO

1t is believed that this site meets all of

Endorsement hereon.
There can be no possibility of contami-

country is such as to obscure it from view

point 20 the south and east of the pumping
station. and it can readily and shortly he

GETS DAMAGES
AFTER 10 YEARS
Dredge Pacific Receivers
$4,000 From Steamship
That Ran Her Down

After a legal fight covering ten years
to recover damage for being run down
in the Delaware river Off Edge Moor,
the dredge Pacific has just been award
ed damages amounting to $4,000
against the British steamship Mailing.
on November 26. 1897, while the Pa
cific was anchored off Edge Moor, with
the tug Samuel A. MacCaulley at her
side, she was run down by the Mailing.
Admiralty proceedings followed in the
local United States District Court in
which the Mailing entered the tug as
party at fault, and claimed her own
ers should share the damages. Com
missioner Mehaffy. having fixed the
damages to the Pacific at $4,000, Judge
Bradford approved the return and di-
vided the damages. holding that the
three boats were at fault, which meant
that the dredge could recover only
$4,000. Appeal was taken by the
dredge from the decision, and yester-
day the District Court of Appeals, at
Philadelphia, deci ~ that only the
steamship was at fault, and ordered
her owners to pay the $4,000 damages
