Der OF hours, to be stated therein, in
performing the services for which the
fees stated at the foot thereof are
charged. Until such certificate Is
made, no such fees shall be allowed or

This provision obviously means that
the services charged for shall have been
performed by the commissioner In per-
son. and not by his assistant or stenog-
r1pher; otherwise a certificate Of the
assistant or stenogTapher. who alone
has personal knowledge Of the length

Vices assigned him by 'he commissioner

Besides the court T.. Weighan v. All.
Sup. Co. a W, Va, 1872, l5s, has In ef-
feet held that When a commissioner
either upon his own motion or under
authority conferred upon him by the
circuit court, employs a sten0grapher to
assist him In executing IN order Of ref
erence. no charge can be made for the
stenographer's services.
Judge McWhorter. In delivering the
opinion OF the court in this case. after
quoting the provision authorizing the
employment Of stenographcrs by the
circuit courts, as well as the provision
anywhere in the statute for anusEistant
or amanuensls to a commissioner" And
so far as the charge for transcribtnR
the stehographer's notes Is concerned.
the only difference between that case
and this Is, that there the charge,
which was at the rate OF twenty cents
per hundred words. was made In the
atenographer's name; while here II Is
made in the commissioners name. and
Is at the rate OF seventy.hve cents an
hour.
But q commissioner who is actually
and necessarily employed IN person the
number Of hours charged for, either In
taking dispositions, through stenog-
rapher or In debating his report to q
stenographer or typewriter, Is clearly
entitled to be allowed the amount
charged
The exceptions are therefore sustained
in so far as they include charges for
the time the stenographer was employ
ed In transcriblng his shorthand notes
Of the dispositions taken by him and of
the matter dictated to him by the COM
missioner.
Volume Z Of the commissioners report
contains an analysis and summary Of
the testimony taken before him. This
work was not authorized by the order
Of reference and was unnecessary. the
exceptions aforesaid In so far as they
include charges for such work must
therefore be sustained.
cats & Gray and Epson. Walton &
Co. have filed exceptions to said report
similar to exceptions numbered 5. 0, Z, s
and Q filed by the Mack Manufacturing
Company. The same ruling Is made
as to these exceptions as was made as
to the others.
It Is due to the commissioner to say
that, Notwithstanding the sustaining OF
the exceptions aforesaid, his report is
a most creditable one; that he states
the numerous and intricate questions OF
law involved in the case with great
clearness, and that his decisions Of
these questions, It is believed, are uni
formly correct; that the arrangement Of
the sub-matter Is excellent and the me-
chanical work beyond criticism.

TO AVOID PROSECUTION.
Casualty Company Took Documents
Away From Missouri.

ST. Louis, Sept 1.-The Republic will
say Tomorrow
John T. Sloan of Baltimore, president
of the Maryland Casualty Company, left
st. Louis for Chicago last night. Mr.
Sloan carried with him in a small leather
grip $4,000 worth of documents, which
represent the liability business of the I'm
ion Casualty Company of St Louis.
Fear that Attorney General Crow would
institute proceedings against the Union
Casualty Company, under the antitrust
laws of Missouri is the ascribed cause of
a deal the like of which has never before
been witnessed in the insurance
business The Union Casually Com
pany was originally st. Louis
concern. Organized in December, 1892, with
a capital stock of $4,000 and surplus fund
of 100000 paid in, the company started bus
mess on April !, 1893.
The business of the company extended
10 the width and breadth of the Mississippi
valley and finally attracted the attention of
Eastern capitalists
On March l. 1859, the original stockho,d-
ers sold their interest 10 the Hanover
National Bank of New York, owners of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
and known in Wall street as the Standard
Oil Company bank. The consideration paid
for the casualty company stock was $780,
900, deposited at the Bank OF commerce
in St. Louis.
In the month of July when Attorney
General Crow began hurFIng frebrands
into the camp of the insurance companies
of Missouri, negotiations were opened by
President Cluff, of the Union Casually
Company, with President John T. Sloan,
of the Maryland Casualty Company, TO
re-insure what is known as the Liability
business of the Union Casualty Company.
The company, with others, had Ssen
throwing it's "exper .ence' 'in.o one Bureau
in New York called the bureau of statistics
and arbitration and an agreement existed
on rates.
II was a question with the officers
whether the company would come under
the antitrust laws of Missouri, as in
terpreted by Attorney General Crow. The
transfer of unexpired risks could only be
made to a company doing business in an
other state and there would be no danger
of a charter surrender. If the Maryland
Casualty Company is prosecuted it Simply
can withdraw from the state of Mis-
souri,.
General Manager Gary Of the Union Com
peny was found tonight. He was ques>
toned concerning the deal.
WAS the transfer of the liability BUSH
ness made to avoid prosecution under the
antitrust laws?" was asked.
That is a question | do not care to
answer" was the reply

added to the difficulties encountered in

Tins.
When the boiler burst a section of 1t
weighing four tons was blown through the
roof and crushed into the side of the house
of Gregory Sanders, on Wrights alley,
about 200 yards distant The building,
which was of frame was wrecked. but the
occupants escaped with a bad fright. This
flying portion of the boiler tore down the
central supports of the roof which fell in
and partially burned some of those injured.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been determined. The damage TO the
plant was heavy. but the firm cannot esti-
mate it at this time.
