ELLIOTTS DEATH.
Coroner Lincoln Says Electric Light
Company is Responsible.
Report on Wheaton & Anthony Building
Fatality Filed In Cour, Today.

Corope E,gene II. Lincoln today filed his
report with the clerk of the common pleas di
vison OF the Supreme Court on the result of
an investigation by him made into the death
of William Elliott. The latter was killed at
the Wheaton ~ Anthony building on the fore
noon of Wednesday, September % Of the pre-
sent year He was one of gang of men en-
ployed in making repairs on the building:
named and was taking pals OF mortar from
hoisting machine. Two wirss of the Nara
gansett Electric Lighting Company ran near
the hoisiiig machine and the pals some.
times hit 1t, as they did just before Elliott
pulled in the pail for the last time.
The corouer in his report states there was
a wire left uninsulatcd. and this, owing TO
the deceased standing on the roof, caused his
death when he went to remove the pail from
the machine, and that Elliott did not know
of the danger. The finding OF the coroner is
that the electric lighting company, and no one
else, is responsible for Elliott's death.

Peter j. Andrews testified that he was
employed by Mr.. JOHN Miller in 1893 and
1894, Of and on. He said that he never
saw him under the influence OF liquor.
Ills habits, appearance and manner
showed no evidence of mental unsound-
ness. Men who worked for him had TO
do what he said. He was intelligent In
ell his business matters. He could not
be easily influenced in anything he
wauted to do.

Mr. William Miller then repeatedly.

his skins were as good as could be OBJ
tained anywhere. Thsre wero times

Firemen clad in asbestos clothing and
masks, as are those of London and Paris,
can walk through the hottest fame with
comparative impunity. Asbestos hre-
proof curtains have reduced the mortal
ity of theater fires in very appreciabl
degree. In torpedoes, the difficulty of
dealing with the charges of wet gun
cotton is overcome by enclosing them in
asbestos, the employment of which has
also, in great measure, brought the
dynamite shell to its present efficiency
Asbestos is made into cloth available
for aeronautical purposes. A balloon
made of this uninflammable material
escapes one of the most terrible dangers
to which an ordinarily constructed bal
loon is liable. Probably one of the first
applications of asbestos in this country
was to roofing. TO buildings covered
with this material the shower of sparks
from a neighboring conflagration in
wolves no danger. The fact that wood
work can, by its use, be made uninfialn-
mable has come to be an important fac
tor in the Insurance of buildings. one
of the largest branches of asbestos man
ufacture is that Of sectional cylinders
for pipe coverings, for retaining the heat
of steam and other pipes, felt protective
coverings for boilers frOSt-proof protec-
tions for gas or water pipes, and cement
felting, which can be laid on with q
trowel, for the covering of steam pipes,
boilers or stills. In some of these eases
where it is only necessary to retain the
heat, the asbestos is mixed with other
substances; but where the protection
must be fireproof as well, only asbestos
is used. The utility of such covering is
we'll illustrated in the heating system OF
railway cars. The main pipe from
which the individual cars draw their re-
spective heat supplies by side mains,
would lose a large proportion of its ca
loric from the rapid motion of the cars
through the air. An interesting innova-
ton in this class of manufacture is as
bestos sponge. 1t is not generally known
that sponge has great power of fire re-
sistance. The discovery was made acci-

filtering cloths for many purposes. from
straining molten metal to clarifying
saccharin juices in beet-root-sugar re-
fineries. A cloth is made for straining
and fitering acids and alkalies in chemt
ical Ia aboratories. This is specially USE
full when the liquid to be treated is of a
caustic or strongly acid nature. The
filter can be thrown in the fire, and after
the residual matter has been consumed
the web is as good as new. For tiltering
purposes generally asbestos has u
unique adaptability and in tropical
countries it is held in grateful estima-
ton as a cooler and purifier of water.
The newest departure in the asbestos
field is the construction of electrother-
mic apparatus. The heating effect of the
electric current is utilized by embedding
the wire in an asbestos sheet or pad.
The pad is used by physicians and nurses
for maintaining artificial heat in local
applications and is said to be already
largely used in hospitals. Another ap-
plication of the same principle is to car
heaters. A sheet of asbestos, with the
embedded wires, is clamped between
two thin steel plates, and the portable
heater thus provided, or series if need
be. is connected to the car circuit quickly
and easily. 1t gives an even and healthy
heat and can be so regulated as not to
