tract. which he claims, was made with
the defendant company. When he went
to Mr.. Benson, the ticket agent in Ban
gor, he says: II received information
that there was a crew of men In Port
land ready to come to Bangor and for
me to make transportation for them" 1t
is evident from this testimony that all
the expenditure necessary to engage
these men and bring them to Portland
had been made prior to any attempted
contract with the defendant company for
transportation. II, therefore, the de-
PENDANT was guilty of a breach of con-
tract, the damages could be only the
difference between a regular or mileage
fare from Portland to Bangor and the
special rate which the contract provides
for. ut, as the contract. as shown h.'
the plaintiffs evidence. contained no
specification as to what the rate of
transportation should be, there is no
proof upon which to found an estimate
of damages, on this theory.
This alleged contract was consum-
mated at Bangor. What occurred after
ward could be of no avail. Therefore
the letter claimed to be in evidence of a
contract, cannot change the actual
transaction as related by the plaintiff,

regard is due much of the efficiency
shown in the examinations of fourth
class postmasters conducted under
Democrats auspices during the sum-
mer. AS there We're no Democratic
administrations during Senator Bur-
ieigh's service in the House. his post
masters were not interrupted from
Washington in their tenure.
Waldo county escaped the first swing
of the headman's axe that Topped off
heads of fourth class postmasters in
the Third Maine Congressional dis
trict. So did Somerset and Kennebec.
The changes were entirely in Hancock
county and these comparatively few.
1t was all the outcome of the civil
service examinations of last July. the
papers for which have been in the
hands of Postoffice Department au-
thorities ever since. Senator Johnson
proceeded deliberately to the task of
making recommendations and the De-
partment was not disposed to make
appointments tilf the senator's rec
concentrations had been received.
More appointments, of course, are
forthcoming and heads in Waldo,
which has nearly 80 fourth class post
masters, and in Somerset and Kenne-
bee, will undoubtedly fall. 1t does not
follow necessarily that the appointees
will all be Democrats. Under the new
system the three who stand at the head
of the eligible list lead all others and
one of those three must be chosen. If
there Is no Democrat in the trio the
new postmaster must be a Republican.
OF course, there is manipulation to
get Democrats appointed and this is
often successful. Ways are discovered
of raising insuperable objections to
tons successfully if those are not en-
tirely acceptable to the appointing
powers. But many of the encumbents
of the fourth class postoffices in Maine
are being classified" and retained,
which means, of course, that Republi-
cans are holding on. The first list of
appointments made by Senator john
son included ten new names and SO
classifications. According to this the
percentage of new appointments is
about rs per cent.
Before he leaves Washington some
time next week Senator Johnson ex-
poets to complete his examination of
the pending cases in the First and
Third and Fourth Congressional dis
tricts. All the changes now contem-
plated will probably be made shortly
Representative McGillicuddy has more
to announce in the Second district.
He has only begun his work of making
new fourth class postmasters in that
district.

RESCRIPT FROM
THE LAW COURT

The following rescript has been re-
ceived from the law court by Clerk of
Courts Charles w. Jones:
PENoBSCOT COUNTY-George Cuozzo
VS.. Maine Central Railroad Company.
Per Curtain.
The declaration in this case sets up a
contract on the part of the defendant
company through its authorized agent
to furnish transportation from Portland
to Bangor for II men alleged to have
been engaged by the plaintiff to enter
his employ on some contract work In
the city of Bangor, and alleges breach
of the contract by a refusal and failure
of the defendant to transport the men,,
as agreed; by reason of which the men
did not come to Bangor, whereby their
services were lost to the plaintiff and
he was obliged to secure other laborers
to take their place to his damage in the
sum of $500 The plaintiff alleges that,
in consideration of his agreement with
the station agent in Bangor he paid the
money to him for the transportation of
the men.
But this allegation is entirely erron-
eous. as the plaintiffs own testimony
unequivocally shows. This allegation
being negatived. we are unable to dis
cover, viewing the plaintiffs evidence In
the most favorable light, any adequate
proof of a contract. The evidence shows
no act or promise on the part of the
agent at Bangor which could be regarded
as binding upon the defendant company,
as his principal.
The plaintiffs contract is practically
stated in the following answer made TO
the court: IT telephoned to the Maine
Central agent at Bangor, Mr.. Benson
| asking him If he could issue transpor-
tation, make arrangements to transport
these men. He asked me what train they
would come on, and I said they would
come on the night train from Portland to
Bangor that they were In Portland now
getting their meals. He says: 1 will
see what I can do Then / got another
telephone message from Mr.. Benson, the
Maine Central agent, saying 1t was all
right. He asked me how many men,
and I didn't know how many exactly
there were, and telephoned back to
Portland to my foreman who was there"
There was no statement anywhere IN
the case of what kind of transportation
| the ticket agent at banSor was " pio-
vide, whether regular fare. mileage
books or passes. Such evidence Is too
vague for proof of a contract.
Assuming that the agent at Bangor
did and said just what the plaintiff says.
we still think it was beyond the scope
of his agency to bind the defendant COM
pany with any such contract as claimed
without first having received for the
benefit of the company the full consider
alton for the transportation which the
company was to furnish or arranging
for its payment upon call for the
tickets There is no evidence OF such
arrangement. The plaintiff, accordingly.
had no valid contract for the transporta-
ton Of these men with the defendant
company.
/ But even upon the assumption that the
plaintiff did have contract for the
transportation Of these men from Port
land to Bangor, the evidence shows that
the damages claimed by thei plaintin
practically all accrued beforetthe con-
