IN and ABOUT TIE COURTS
NOMIN4L DAMAGES AWARDED
on FIREMAN IVES LIFE.

Damages of $50 Gtveu-Tho Courts
Flnding-Farnsworth Appointed Re-
ceiver for Osborn Machine Gothic
city Court.
Judge Edwin B. eager, Of the SUI
preme court, has awarded $50 damages
against the Consolidated railroad for
the death of Harry L. Ives, a locomo-
tive fireman, who was crushed to death
by an engine at Union station on Feb
ruary u, 1900. The company was sued
for $4,000 damages by George l.. Ives,
administrator OF the estate, and the
case was tried in court last spring.
One of the contentious Of the plaintiff
was that the engineer on the moving
locomotive, Charles G. Spencer, was at
fault, negligent, and that the company
was responsible for his alleged incom-
petence. In fact, Judge l.. n. Blyden-
burgh, who appeared for the plaintiff,
charged that, if Spencer was incompe-
tent, it was the fault of the railroads
tests for the promotion of engineers, for
Spencer had passed satisfactory eX-
animation when he was promoted from
the position of fireman.
Judge eager says: In the present
case the fact that Spencer was negli-
gent in the management of his engine
at the time in question does not neces-
sarily show that he was incompetent.
This rule is uniformly applied, and is
unquestionably a reasonable rule; so
that the case narrows down to the
point of the care of the defendant in
employing Spencer. AS to this think
the positive and undisputed testimony
leaves no doubt. Spencer had been for
a number of years, five at least, fire.
man upon the defendants road, and had
fired most of the trains on the road. It
was his duty as fireman to know the
signals of the road
81 think it is clear that the defendant
used reasonable care before appointing
Spencer to the position Of engineer, and
it did not appear that he ever had been
otherwise negligent than upon the time
in question"

The Washington police authorities
have been informed that John Lawrence
O'Brien, the confessed embezzler, is held
bv the United States commissioner in
San Francisco under bond for 81, 600 to
appear for trial during the present term
of court in Washington. 1t is expected
that the order of extradition will be
signed today. Detective Frank Helan,
of the Washington police force, is in
San Francisco and will carry O'Bnen
back to Washington in custody. OBrien
has been indicted by the grand jury for
embezzling So, 400 from the wholesale
grocery and liquor store ofFrank Hume,
at 454 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
He left Washington about three weeks

a letter was received at the store from
O'Brien, saying that an investigation OF
his accounts would reveal shortage
This was the first intimation his employer
had of the discrepancy. OBrien was
married the day he left the city. His

Death of Young Coffin.

To the regret of his many friends and
acquaintance, Emmett Collin, the young
man whose arm was shattered near Cat
let's station, on the Southern Railway,
by the accidental discharge of his gun
on Tuesday, died at the Alexandria
Hospital last night. As was stated
in the Gazette the unfortunate young
man was shot about two o'clock
in the afternoon, and Mr.. Henry Fox,
ofthis city, who accompanied him ON
the cunning trip, was compelled to carry
the injured man abouta mile and half on
his back to farm house in order to
secure help. The streams were swollen,
and Mr.. Fox was compelled several
times to lay young Coffin down and
wade across runs in order to ascertain
whether or not he could ford them with
his friend on his back. During all this
time the wounded man was bleeding pro-
fusely.. 1t was nine O'Clock before Collin
was placed in the hospital here and had
secured the services of Drs. Purvis, L. >.
Smith, Gibson and Snowden. Several
pieces of fractured bone were removed
from the arm and everything possible was
done to alleviate the young mans suffer-
ings. Despite all, the loss OF blood and
shock to the system proved fatal, and,
as stated above, he died at half-past ten
o'clock last night. The unfortunate
yonng man was but eighteen years old.
His remains were removed to his late
home, 1907 Duke street, from whence
the funeral will take place.
