COMPANIES MUST PAY.
Edwards. stevens & Co. Get Full
Amount of Their Insurance.

A New York court has just handed
down "A decision which interests insurers.
The litigation grew out or the fire that
occurred January, 1895, at Winooski and
burned up Edwards, Stevens & Cos
shop. Part Of their insurance was placed
through Jameson q Frelinghuysen
brokers, OF New York city, and Lloyds
companies not entitled to do business in
the State. The local agents had nothing
to do with this. Some of their insurance
was also placed through local agents and
was promptly settled. The IAoyds com
panies sent an adjuster to adjust the loss
and promised to pay the amount agreed
upon but failed and went out OF business
at about that time.
The claim was put into the hands of
Powell & Powell, attorneys. and suit was
brought against Samuel X. Galloway Of
New York city, one of the LloydsS UNI
dcrwriters. Suit was brought four years
ago and was placed on the calendar and
was reached early in May. The defense
was made that the suit was not brought
within year after the nre and under the
terms of the policy there was no liability
unless suit was brought within a year
Edwards, Stevens & Co, sought to re-
cover no, on the policy but on the promise
of the company to pay the loss and the

THE UNDERHILL POISONING.
Milk of Which Ice Cream WINS Made
Came from Diseased Cow.

DR.. w. S. Nay of Underhill. who Is in
this city attending the Masonic meetings
being held this week. was seen yesterday
at the Van Ness House and questioned
concerning the poisoning of % people at
Cnderhill by eating ice cream.
DIR. Nay says there is no doubt but
what the people were the victims of
ptomaine poisoning. due to a diseased
COW from which the milk in the ice cream
was taken. Last fall members of the
Torrill family were poisoned and the
cause was traced to a diseased condition
of the COW. Since then other parties
have been poisoned from the same cause,
although none has died. For a time the
milk from the COW was not used but for
some time past it has been in use by the
family and no serious results have been
noticed until a party was given when
the ice cream was served. When DIR. Nay
left Underhill all the patients were out
Of danger
The ice cream remaining after the party
was sent to the State laboratory in this
city for examination but it is expected
that nothing will be found except a large
number of bacteria.
