disaster which occurred on the Ontario and
Western Company's line near Cooks Falls on
March rs. 1883. An extensive leo gorge had
formed In tho Beaverkill River at that point,
which caused an overflow OF water on the COM
panys track. The expedient OF breaking up
the gorge with dynamite was, resorted to. and
a gang OF mon under an alleged expert IN
handling the explosive was set at the work.
The expert found 1t necessary to warm up the
dynamite cartridges before they would explode !
satisfactorily. His plan OF conducting the
warming up process was to Ill tin pail with |
cartridges immersed III water. and then hang |
tho pail over a wood fire built on the Ice. While !
this novel process was going on. some OF the |
workmen gathered curiously around. Sud- |
denly the pailful OF cartridges exploded with |
tremendous shock, killing Irvine Stewart and |
manning and wounding other employees.
Mrs. Martha a. Stewart brought the action
to recover $1,000 damages for the loss Of hor

company set up genera! denial, and further
