Pritchard in,the United States Cir
cult Court sofe Appeals, the District
Court;at Wilmington, NJ Csswas af-
firmed IN the case Of the United States
of America. plaintiff in error against
the Atlantic Coast Line. Railroad Co.,
defendant in error.
Suit, was instituted by, the. govern
ment against the railroad ito recover
the value Of diamonds which were
stolen from a mail car which mad
been wrecked and burned at Lucama,
N. C.. The court below held that the
government could not recover and has
now been upheld by the appellate
tribunal.
The evidence in the case showed
that the railroad had paid a fine of
$500, imposed by the Postmaster
General, for the loss of the mail ON
the wrecked train, and that the owner
of the diamonds had been reimbursed
through an insurance company. Both
courts held that Immediately after
the wreck the road used reasonable
precaution to prevent the looting OF
the cars, and that it was not respon-
sible foT the theft Of the gems.
It was also shown that long per-
iod elapsed after the payment Of the
fine assessed by the Postoffice Depart

popularity OF the Colonel which wcaned
away the Republicans from their old ad-
herence Later elections. though compar-
atvoly unimportant have shown losses to

The Progressive falling off. according To
the politicians who handle things In

will be so nearly negligible that no csndi-
date of the Republicans is in danger
In 1872 Representative iinds's major
ity IN the First district was 2.055. His
managers this year declare that by rea-
son Of the inroads OF the tariff on the
industries of southern Maine and the
growing popularity Of the Wilson Adj

exceed 1000.

popular. but the Administration burden Is
a heavy one. The impression is grow
