WINDSOR HOTEL VERDICT.
coroner's Jury Finds No One Responsible
for the Conflagratlon.

New York, April 24.-After deliberat-
ing half an hour, the coroner's jury in
the Windsor Hotel fire inquest today
returned the following verdict: 1--WE
find that Isabella C. Leland, Helen M.
Leland, Melia A. Paddock and others
came to their deaths on or about the
18th of March. 1899, by confiagration of
the Windsor Hotel. We find that the
origin of the said confagration was due
to accidental cause and was not in any
way due to lack of proper and usual IA
cilities for extinguishing fires.
1--WE also find that within three min
utes from the time the alarm Of fire
was received in this instance by the
fire department the first company was
at the scene of the fire and had water
nnor the flames"

New Trial 0snits Defendant In Case Of Ina {.
RYH vs., laspsr G. hide.

The following opinion was handed
down by the appellate court today m
the case of Ina T.. Ryer vs.. Jasper G..
Hyde. 1t was on motion for reargu-
ment that the case was before the
court:
Per Currim. The petition for rear
gumenE rests on the ground that the
court had not considered the exceptions
taken i'm the course of the trial The
only one which was argued related 20
the admissability of testimony by the
plaintiff based upon copy of a list OF
articles which sine used to refresh her
memory. Assuming that the ruling
was wrong. an inspection OF the record
shows that the witness testified from
memory independently of the list, 10
practically all of the articles claimed IN
the suit. The error in the ruling there
fore, If any. was harmless and not a
ground for new trial. This was con-
Stdered by the court, though not men
toned in the rescTipt.
We have examined the other excep-
tions on the record and ind none which
we consider To be Of Importance. The
exceptions are therefore overruied.
Counsel seem To suppose that the
court is bound 10 pass upon exceptions
which are presented as the basis OF a
petition for "A new trial. as il would be
bound 10 do were the exceptions con
tanned i'm bill of exceptions. But a
greater Latitude is allowed To the court
in a petition for new trial than ex-
lists i'm the case of bill of exceptions,
since i'm the former the court has the
discretion TO grant or ref'~e a new trial
without reference To the correctness of
the ruling. If in it's opinion the error
was harmless and substantial justice
has been done. while in the latter the
sole question before the court is the
correctness of the rulings which are the
