Policy.

Before Judges Stiness and Tillinghast in
the Appellate court today, was heard on
exceptions to the jury's verdict in the
case Of Aaron Milkman against the United
Mutual Insurance company. The defend
ant company claims the jury's finding was
clearly contrary TO all the legal evidence
and that IL Is entitled to new trial. The
plaintiff maintains that the verdict was
justified by the evidence in the case.
The trouble arose over automatic sprin-
kler equipments. The defendant COM
pany after the fire claimed that the
isurance policy on the plaintiff 5 premises
in the Crossword Dale Company's build
Ing on Eddy street was void because there
were no sprinklers i'm the building. One
of the questions submitted to the jury
was whether or not there were sprinkcrs in
the building and the jury found there
were not. The defendant company claims
that stlcker was placed upon the policy
providing for the sprinklers. Arthur
O'Leary was the agent of the plaintiff
in getting the insurance. It is claimed
that the agent of the company knew there
were no sprinklers in the building and
issued the policy with that understanding
Mr.. Baker, the company's agent, claims he
did not know there were no sprinklers in
the building.
j. j. Hahn was attorney for the plain
tiff and ID. B. Potter represented the

Caused Fatal Explosion at
New Bedford.
Inspector Hawley Easily LO-
Gated the Weak Spot.
Similar Defects Have Led to Explo-
sion of Other Boilers.

New Bedford, Mass, March The ex.
plosion at theAcushnet mills Saturlaylby
which two people were killed, several in-
jured and heavy loss TO property
caused, has been found to have resulted
from crack in the plate Of boiler.
This defect was concealed by an overlap
ping joint.
The mills had 12 boilers, two of which
were horizontal tubular boilers 72 inches
in diameter and Is feet long. They were
put in in 1890 and il was one of these that
caused the trouble. Boiler Inspector
Hawley says he had no trouble in locating
the defective plate. He explains that
when sheets of steel are passed through
rollers in order that they may be fashioned
into cylindrical formt moro easily, there
is space of six or eight inches at the
last end that is not long enough to bend.
When the sheet is brought together ond
overlappcd so as to form cylinder, this
end has To be hammered into place and
FiTeted- II the steel is not ductile an i'm.
pcrceptible crack often results.
Tho crack i'm this boiler was lust abouN
on the water line. The pressure was too
much for the crack and it burst. A
quantity of steam rushed out, relieving
the pressure on the water which in falling
to the boiler joint SO increased the volume
of steam in "A fraction of a second that the
boiler could not stand the shock. The
same kind of defect in this kind of boiler
caused an explosion at the Kent wooden
mills about three months ago where
three were killed; at the Langley mills,
Fall River two years ago, when four were
killed, and in a furniture factory at
Keenc, \. H., two years ago, when three
were killed.
