An Interesting Decision. ?A law
caso arising from tho burning of a build?
ing in MaBFKobusetts has just been de?
cided by the Supremo Court. The case
is this: Tbe building of a company was
ou fire, and tbe engines were playing
upou it, having their hose stretched
across a railway track, which a freight
train "passing run over and cut in part,
and the burning building und contents
were cousumed. Tho owners sued the
railroad company to recover for tbe loss.
Tho questions involved in the case were,
whether tho hose was rightfully put
aoross the truck, and whether tbe loss
by the fire v/as not so remotely oonneoted
with the negligent aot of (he company
as to preclude a recovery. The Supremo
Court decided that the firemen hud a
right to lay thoir hose across the track,
aud tbat tho negligent aot of the rail?
road company was a direct und efficient
cause of the loss.

tion:
Ooi?hia, 8. C, Nov. 27, 1872.
To Hon. John Alexander, Mayor of the
city of Columbia.
Sza: .On the 11th day of November,
instant, I gave' notice through yoo to
the City Council, that on the 21st No?
vember, instant, "The Columbia Water
Power Company" would commence to
supply the city with water, under the
contracts .between the city and the un?
dersigned.
I now respeotfuliy inform yon, that on
the 21st November, instant, "The Co?
lumbia Water Power Company" com?
menced to supply water to the city, pur?
suant to said ooutraot. I am now in?
formed by your Superintendent of the
Water Works, that be is directed by
your Committeo on Water Works to con?
tinue to operate the old Wuter Works,
aud in obedience to these instructions,
be is proceediug to do so. This makes
it necessary that he should oat off the
communication between the old and
new receiving reservoir, and thus cut off
the supply of water which, under the
ooutraot, the Columbia Water Power
Company is required to force with the
distributing reservoir; and, in addition,
the operating of both of the works at
the Bamo time is a aouroe of danger to
the pipes which convey the water to 'the
distributing reservoir.
By reason of this want of access to
the old reoeiviug reservoir, and by the
operating of the old works, tho Colum?
bia Water Power Company aro inter?
fered with in the performance of that
part of the contract which requires said
company to supply the city with water,
and, in fact, prevented from so doing.
The works of tho company are adequate
for supplying the amount of water re?
quired by the contract, and they aro
desirous to curry out the contract on
their part, if allowed to do so. This
communication is made to you, that the i
City Council may be-informed of tho
facts, and advised that if tho company
bo not allowed to fulfill their contracts in
this respect, payments will be required 1
us fully as if no such interference was
interposed.
Trusting that you will submit this i
mutter to the Council, and that such
rogulatiou may be made as will endblo
the company to comply with tho con?
tract, and to furnish to tho city tho
water required by the contract, I am
yours truly,'
