The fall of heavy derrick at the
Canal street sewer extension just above

3:45 occasioned the fatal injury of one
workman and the severe injury OF an
othor.
James Furber of Pawtucket received a
severe scalp wound a1d fracture OF tho
hip and pelvis. He was taken TO the
Rhode Island hospital, where he died at
10 O'Clock this morning.
The other injured man is Louis Rich-
ardson and he is in comfortable condl-
tion now at the hospital His right leg
was fearfully crushed between the boom of
the derrick and blocs OF granite, caus-
ing a compound fracture. The bones were
broken in two places.
Furber was acting superintendent in
place of Contractor 4. f. shaw, who was
absent Richardson Is a rigger and was
employed about the derrick There were
five other men nearby at the uime of the
accident
This derrick has been in use here in
the work of construction Of the retaining
wall for the last three weeks, ana has
been considered strong md sound. and
there was no evidence OF weakness about
il. In fact, while stones Of several tons
weight were lifted and moved from place
10 place every day, the derrick was oon-
siderei capable of falling even greater
weights IL necessary.
The new retaining wall was about 30
feet from the street and tho derrick was
placed midway between tho wall and the
stones dumped near the street.
The man who places the hooks onto the
stones, fastened them onto stone of
about four tons weight that tho masons
wished to use, and the engine was
started.
The boom gradually swung around
with its load, To where the masons We're
waiting to receive il. IL being guided
from behind them by man with guy
rope attached to the chain holding the
stone
Furber was on the opposite bank su-
perintending the work Near him stood
Richardson. who gave the starting and
stopping signals TO the engineer.
Suddenly and almost as the stone was
in proper position strange noise was
heard and in second the big derrick
came tum bling down. The capsall on
top of the mast, To which the guy ropes
are connected. broke square oft from the
mast, which was broken in two.
n As so as the men could realize what
had happened they began TO look around
and were joined bv Patrolman Martin.
Richardson was found under the boom,
with one leg crushed up against a clock
OF granite.
The falling boom struck Furher on the
head and came TO the ground so heavily
that the bank on which Furber was
standing csved in ana be was thrown
down into the ditch. He struck on big
stone and Sustained bad fracture of the
pelvis and hip.

men until the arrival of the hospital am

groceries for Liquor Dealer Robert Taft
of Scituate ana that he went from the
street directly To closet in Mr.. Edmond's
place and fell into a hole in the floor
which was unguarded either by railing or
light.
He testified that on other occasions he
had gone TO tho same place, bet mover oh
served any signs of mole in the iloCr but
on this day the first thing he knew
after he opened a screen door was
that he was falling. The result was he
became unconscious and his fall Of elk or
seven feet bad such serious results that

which interfered with the raising of his
right hand. When sworn. Mr.. CIenence
said he could not raise his fright hand SO
the oath was administered to him with

NEW TRIAL
DENIED HER.
Decision of the Court in
the Newell Case.
SUIT WAS FOR SERVICES.
Plaintiff Sought Payment From Her
Mothers Estate.
SUIT WAS FOR SERVICES.

Harriet f. Newells petition for new
trial OF Eer suit against Charles n. Law
ton has been ddnied by the Appellate
Court. Chief Justice Matteson, who
writes the opinion Of the court saws i:
This is an action Of assumption. The
testimony shows that the plaintiff render
ed services for the testatIix in taxing care
Of and nursing her for several years be-
fore her d. ath. The testatrix was the
plaintiffs mother ard tho two had lived
together while the services were rendered.
During the same period the plaintiff
had kopt hens and furnished eggs ana
sold fowls and used the proceeds in pur-
chasing supplies for the household. but 70
what extent does not appear a he evil
dence shows no express agreement on the
part OF the testatrix to pay Ter these
benefits nor circumstances affording
ground for reasonable expectation on
the part Of the pIaintin that compspsa-
tion was To be made. The only testimony
which can TO regarded rs in any way
tending to 90 so was that tina testatrix
had said TO the plaintin that she had to
work hard, and that she, the testatrix,
could not pay her then.
This testimony standing by itself is too
slight to rebut the presumption arising
in such cases that services rendered or
bsneiits conferred by mbers of the
same household. TO or upon each other,
are prompted by affection or good will.
rather than from expectation Of payment.
Ii the case had gone To the jury and u
verdict had been rendered for the plain
tiff. it would have been insufficient to
sustain.the verdict. A non-suit was there
tore properly granted.
