INTERESTING ADMIRALTY SUIT.
Jadge Hanford Dismisses the Case for
IVant of Jurisdiction.
Jndge Ranford, of the United States district
eonrt, yesterday delivered an interesting opin
ion in the case of R. O. Lavender vs. the
schooner lieary Dennis, holding that a suit can
not be maintained in a court of admiralty on a
contract between citizens of the same state,
without Judgment having first been obtained
on the contract in the state where it was made.
The plaintiff alleged that in November, 18S8. at
Boston, Mass., he made an agreement with
Joshua Brown, William Pray and William Nor
ton, by which he was to take oharga of the seal*
lng schooner Henry Dennis and take her on a
cruise to Bering sea. When he had caught
enough seals to pay for the vessel he was to
be given a one-fourth interest In her.
He continued under the agreement until
September, 1890, when the catch had assumed
sufficient proportions to pay for the schooner.
The owners then refused to grant him the prom
ised Interest and sold the vessel to J. C. Nixon
and E. P. Miner for $8,600. These men had been
given notice not to pay over one-fourth of the
purchase money to Brown, Pray & Norton.
\ A demurrer was interpoeed to the plaintiff's
pleading and the hearing yesterday was on the
demurrer. The case was argued by James Ham
ilton Lewis for the claimant and by W. F.
Hayes, of Port Townsend, and W. D. Tyler for
the llbollant. Judge Hanford's opinion waa aa
follows:
The libel sets forth a contract between the li
bellant and three others who were then owners
of the schooner Henry Dennis, by which it was
■treed that the ves*el was to engage in certain
employment and be commanded by the libellant,
ana that upon certain terms and conditions ha
was to acquire an ownership of one-fourth part
of the vessel, and alleges performance on libe'.-
lant's part of said contrsct, and subsequently
thereto H kale of the vessel for a definite price.
The object of this suit is to recover one-fourth
ef said purchase price.
It is not clear to me whether the libellant
wages this suit to specifically enforce an execu
tory contract, by which upon certain terms and
•traditions he was given a right to acquire an
ißtcreit as part owner of the schooner, or to
leeover dumaves for breach of such contract, or
for an accounting between owners and division
el the proceed* 01 the sale of the schooner, or to
recover from the purchaser a part of the pur
chase price proportionate to hi* stinra
M part owner of the vessel, treating the
contract as an executed contract
et kale. But it is el ear that
tin libel does not allege fac's from
vlurh the court can fiud that there'is an exiat
taf lien upon the vessel in the lihellant's favor.
Without a lien a suit in rem is baseless, and can-
Bet be maintained upon either theory. The ar
romeut of counsel upon the hearing has
touched many points of interest, but alter care
ful consideration I find no question requiring
the alignment of special reasons or elaboration
Of arguments in deciding it. Upon the author
ity of Daaty'a shipping and Admiralty, page 4H,
ami the decision of the supreme court of the
United Statei in the case of the Eclipse, 135 U.
8., psge SW, and the cases therein referred to, 1
hold that the cane must bo dismissed for want of
Jurisdiction iu this court, of tbe subject matter,
and a decree will be entered accordingly.
A WOMAN'S DAMAGE SUIT.
She tislrni to Hst« Been Ejected From
a Railway Coach.
The Seattle, chore & Eastern Railway
Company was the defendant in a damage suit
brought by Caroline U !/•<», which WAS heard
yesterday In Judge Osborn's department of the
superior court. The allegations of the p aintiff
were that last March she purchase i a ticket to
Lee's station, where she live<. She boarded a
coach on one of defendant's trains but was car
ried a mile beyond her destination by the care
le* n»s of the conductor. Then she WAS
ejected and was forced to walk home, greatly to
her mortification and discomfort she had a
yonng child with her, whieh. It is e.aimed, WAS
taken sick and died from the effects of the ex
posure. The defendant claimed that Mrs. Lee
was not ejected from the train, but that she in-
Uste.l on alighting; also that an offer was made
(•take her to the next station and send her
Aotne by a train due in a short while, but that
she refused to do this. The amount sued tor
was fl0,00&
In his cHsrge to the JOT* Judge Osborn in
structed them that by the defendant's admissions
a verdict ol nominal damages shou.d he re
turned, but that auy further damages must be
determined by the evidence in the case. They
Were not to award damsgc* for the death of the
child, but if ihey found its sickness wasdueto
the acts of the defendant they should find dam
ages for any a. tnal expenditure incurred in the
care of the child or for tuneral expenses. The
aase was given to the jury at 6 p. m. and they
ware Instructed to bring In a sealed verdict.

Deadly Weapon.
The case of the state of Washington vs. Burns
Mullarkey, James Mullarkey and John Bullock,

separate trial*, and the cai>e of Burns Mullarkey
Was assigned for hearing first.
The entire day and an evening session were
taken up In the hearing of testimony, which
was not finished. The evidence produced by
the atate and by the de ense was in atartllng
contrast. Several witnesses for the prosecution
swore positively to seeing the men commit the
offense, while the defendant'! witnesses swore
■trongly to facta lnteuded to prove an alibi.
Conoernlng the character and reputation of the
prosecuting witness and of the defendant the
testimony wa« equally as conflicting, each man

Think and Say.
PARTY OF POSTAL OFFICIALS.
Crooked Ways of Normos Postmasters—
A Good Far Trade—lnsurance
Men In Town.
A large party of postal officials waa '« tha city
yesterday. George L. Seybolt, of San Franclaco,
chief inspe*tor of the Coast division; hia son,
George K. Seybolt, and two of the inspectors in
the division, R. R. Munro, of San Francisco,
and John M. Patton. of Olymnia, are staying at
the Occidental hotel. James. B. E lwood, of
Chicago, an s»slstaut superintendent ot the rail
way mail service, is at the Rainier hotel with
his father, J. E. Ellwood. The two latter are
traveling merely for pleasure.
Mr. Seybolt, who is one of the veterans of the
Inspection service, said last night: "I am here
to take a general look at the state and aee the
work now being done, and that which needa do
ing. 1 find the service in a satisfactory condi
tion conaiderlng the fact that the country is
new and the towns nnd cities not yet settled
down into routine wayi."
in speaking generally of tha work of the in
spectors Mr. Seybolt declared: "Utah used to
be our hardest flald. It was an accepted rule In
the department that every Mormon postmaster
was crooked. The honest ones were the excep
tions. The Mormons thought that cheating the
government or the Gentiles waa not wi ked, but
on the contrary was something of a virtue.
"According to the old laws the pay of the
postmasters in the small officea depended upon
their sales of stamps. They were allowed some
thing like 60 per cent, on the first fIOO worth; 50
on tha next 92(0, aud 40 on the rest Tha system
was a most pernicious one, for throughout the
country there was a little aelling of stampa at
the amall offices for less than the face price. A
postmaster could give 10 or 20 per cent, off and
still make something on the commission. But
the Mormons were shameless. One of their
postmasters would thiuk nothing of buying a
wugon and paying for It in postage stampa dis
counted 20 i>er cent, or more. The big co-opera
tive atore would carry a stock of SIO,OOO worth of
atampa gathered from the country around.
Theae would be ahipped to the large cities for
Bale. They would find a ready market even at 5
per cent discount
"But that sort of thing la changed. The salary
of an office la a atated aum, dependent generally
upon the amount of business In the office."

They are on their war home from a trip to Cali

A party of us, of which Sir Charles Tupper was
a member, were coming up the Sound in the
North Pacific, when I was awakened by Sir
Charles, who told me to get up, because we
were going to stop at a little place called Seattle.
And to tell you the truth Seattle was a dull and
unattractive little town in those days.
"No, the Hudson Bay Company has no longer

"It is commonly supposed that the supply of
furs is getting very short That Is a mistake,
for comparatively little of the country to the
north is really settled up so that the animals
are driven ont Here and there are little spots
where the wild beasts have been killed off, but.
miles and miles of forest yet remain. Tha
price of furs has gone up, because the Indians
are aware of the demand and will not sell so

Mr. E. L. Watson, secretary of the Providence
Washington Insurance Company of Providence,
R. 1., is at the Rainier hotel with his wife. He
said yesterday: "Insurance is high here, of
that there is no doubt But as improvements
are made and the city develops, rates will go

Judge Llchtenberg Defends His Position
by Citing Precedents.
An article in yesterday's Post-Intjblligknc**,
concerning the refusal of County Auditor
Twichell to issue a warrant to Bailiff O. C. Mo-
Gray for pay for extra work, stated incorrectly
that a mandatory order was issue J by Judge Os
bora to compel the payment The writ of man
date was iasued by Jud.;e Llchtenberg, of the
equity department, where McGray ia employed.
There were twenty-six working daya In the
month of September and McGray was credited
with thirty-aeven daya. The eleven extra days
were accounted for by night sessions of the
equity department
Judge Llchtenberg defends bis position in the
matter by the fact that bills for extra work have
always been allowed hitherto by the county
commissioners. As proof positive of this he has
secured from W. B. Spencer, clerk of the su
perior court, a written statement of the number
of days for whi'ch each bailiff haa been paid
each month ainca the first of the year. In nu
merous instances bailiffs have been credited
with extra days for work at night sessions.
Most of McGray's extra time was put in during
the trial of the case of Stanley P. Thompson vs.
tha Huron Lumber Company.
Mr. C. W. Schaberg, purchasing agent for the
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad, received
a dispatch yesterday announcing the sad news
of the death of hi* sister, Miss Emina Schaberg,
at her home In St Louis, at 5:30 in the morning.
The [news was all the more sad and sudden be
cause Mr. Schaberg had just received a letter
from bis sister which Indicated that she was in
good health and excellent spirits. Miss Scha
berg is spoken of by those in this city who knew
ber as being very prominent in St. Louis society
affairs, and particularly in Christian Endeavor
