Library and Art Works Burned.

Fire Thursday afternoon wrecked the
residence of DIR. Lincoln Hulley, Pro-
fessOr of History, at Bucknell Univer-
sity, Lewisburg. His fine library, fur
niture and many valuable pictures and
art works collected in Europe were de-
stroyed. The fire was discovered in
the Doctors study by servant, and is
supposed to have originated from the
furnace. At the time Dr. Hulley was
conducting class at the college and
Mrs. Hulley and their four children
were asleep. They escaped in scanty
clothing. The building was owned by
the Reading Railroad Company. There
was no insurance on the furniture, and
DR.. Hulley's loss is heavy.

ness, land the fact that we can't al
ways rely on a chain shows negligence
in using 1t.
No officer or man employed on the
ship when this man was killed was pro-
duced as witnesses at the trial: there
were some scientific experts who were
not present at the accident but who tes-
titled that the chain was strong enough,
although 1t broke, and the broken part
was not produced by defendants or seen
by these witnesses, and yet they seemed
positive In their oft repeated assertion
that chain five-eighths of inch in
size was strong enough, because, as stat
ed by them all, chain is tested at the
factory when made: and yet none of
them knew when or where this chain
was made, or whether tested, or how
long it had been used.
The Court is compelled to disregard
this testimony and especially the state
ment made by these experts that such
chain had twice the tensile strength OF
a straight bar of iron of the same size
1t was also argued to the Court that
the deceased contributed to his own
death. because when the chain broke he
was in a dangerous position and ran the
wrong way to avoid an injury; that Is
to say, that the deceased when. he with
others were moving the dray so that the
bed plate would rest squarely upon It.,
as 1t came down, should have anticipated
that the chain would break, and thus
avoid any position whereby he would be
hurt if the chain broke. and that he
should have another way when it
did break.
In the presence of great and unfore-
seen danger no man is expected to act
with elaboration or even good judg-
ment.

Revised Statutes of the United States,

| 1t is not necessary in this class Of cases
that there should be any Intentional
wrong. Negligence excludes intentional
wrong. IRadvertence is one of the chief
elements of negligence; inattention may
be and often Is the strongest evidence
OF negligence.
The Courts have held that Ordinary
care has relation to the situation of
the parties and the business in which
they are engaged" and varies according
to the exigencies which require vigilance
and attention. The degree of care to be
used is proportional to the danger to be
apprehended Of inflicting an injury on
others; in. this case the danger was
great because the weight of the casting
was enormous, and greater care was
thus required. Ordinary care must be
proportionate to the probability of in

PACIFIC OCEAN SURVEY.
Navy has Marked Paths in the Track
less Main.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A special to
the Herald from WASHINGTON says:
Safe steamer lanes across the Pacific
ocean have been established. under the
plan proposed by the Navy Department
a year AGO These lanes are thirty
miles wide and insure safe navigation,
for no distractions have been discov-
cred.
Reports received by Captain c. C.
Todd, photographer of the Navy from
sixty commanders of war ships, Gov
ernment transports and merchant
steamers show that not single men
ance to navigation exists within the
limits Of the tracks plated by the de-
partment. The lanes acros sthe Pacific
connect San Francisco with Honolulu.
Guam and Manila; San Francisco with
Nagasaki and Honolulu and Guam with
Nagasaki.
The benefit of this work to the carry
ing trade of the Pacific is appreciated
by exporters and steamship men on the
Pacific coast, and they propose to use
their influence. to secure the adoption
by Congress of Rear-Admiral Brad
ford's recommendation for compre-
hensive survey of the Pacific ocean.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL

CHICAGO, June 15.-Another move
directed by E. H. Hartman is the
practical provision for the transfer of
the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Pa
to the Hartman syndicate, and the
turning of this line into link of the
Union Pacific system. This plan was
ARRANGED at a secret conference held
at the Auditorium Annex, attended by
many railroad men and a number of
bankers. Little doubt is entertained
that the syndicate has obtained con-
troll of the Milwaukee and st. Paul on
practically the same lines that ]. j.
Hill secured the Burlington.

A CHINATOWN FIRE CASE
ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY IS
SUED.
Judge Gear and Jury Hearing the
Claim of Choy Look See for Burned
Buildings.

The suit of Choy Look See against
the Royal Insurance Company Of Lon
don for 81 700 damages on policy for
buildings burned during the China
town, had the attention of Judge Gear
and a jury this morning. Look See
owned two buildings, one two-story
and one three-story, on River street.
Both were destroyed in the bi" fire and
the company refused to pay the policy
on the ground that the loss was not
caused by any of the contingencies in
sured against. The policy has the
civil authority" clause in it and it is
claimed that the Chinatown fire was
caused by orders of the civil authori-
ties.
Look See and her husband testified
about the burning of the buildings bot
being consumed early on the day of the
great fire. The defense, represented by
l.. A. Thurston and A. G.. M. Robert
son, moved a nonsuit, on the ground
that the premises had been left un-
occupied lonPer than the policy allow
ed, and also because the lessor of the
property on which the buildings stood
was found to be different from that
shown in the policy. Judge Gear rul.
ed against the first point and decided
to hear the other contention in the
afternoon session of court. Magoon
and Thompson represent the plaintiffs

nonsuit was argued. They are: John
