INQUEST ON
Death OF
7, {. M'CABE
Coroner kcNslIis Examines III
Nlrragansett Electric Lighting
Csmpany's Engineer.

Coroner James p. McNeiis yesterday
resumed his investigation OF the manner
In which Thomas Il. Mccabe, the River
Point stablekeeper met his death.
The only witness was William c.
Woodward. electrical engineer for the
Narragansett Electric Lighting company.
who told some things OF interest 10 users
OF the power
The witness said he knew OF no other
fatalities that have occurred in the ter
ritory served by HIS company wnere the
victims were injured while in the act
of turning on the lighting current, aside
from those that have taken place In
Warwick and East Greenwich.
When asked how a direct current such
as is used In the centre OF the city OF
Proidence, and the alternating current
used by the company in long distance
transmission compared. so far as the
safety OF those who use the lights. Is
concerned, his answer was that with
equal precaution the safety would be the
same in either case"
Equal precaution on the part of
WnOm inquired the coroner.
The supplier and user" was the an
swer.
Users OF light whose private installa-
tons are more remote from the gener-
ating station must OF necessity then run
greater risks than those In the immediate
vicinity whose lamps are supplied with
direct CURRENT" was the coroner's ques-
ton.
Yes" was tho reply.
The witness also said that there was
no means OF knowing THAI service trans
former had been rendered worthless
until accident or an examination had
revealed II. The burning out OF a service
transformers during lightning storms is
OF frequent occurrence. lie said that a
prolonged overload might injure the in
sulation in transformer anu render II
worthless. as would an accidental con-
tact between the primary and secondary
windngs. Lightning he stated 10 be the
most frequent cause of transformer
falling to perform the work for which II
/ is designed.
Mr.. Woodward said the system In use
for transmitting current to suburban
points was the same In Providece and
/ vicinity as that in use In Boston. Buffalo
| New York. Chicago, Newark and elso'
where and that the conditions were quite
/ simular The user OF the electric light
Is always exposed TO danger in case oi
7 accident to the transformer unless tn,
/ local conditions render him immune, h'
! stated.
In conclusion he said there would be M
! danger TO users OF the current IL the,
/ would take the same precautions to sc
\ cure immunity at their homes and pkce,

at its stations.

NEED OF new SCHOOL HOUSE
Ninth Ward Delegation Receives Complaint
Of Bhdgham Street Building.

a number OF complaints have been re-
celved by the school committee I'm re-
gard to tho dilapidated condition OF the
BRIGHAM street grammar school and In
consequence n Is quite probable that "a
new building will be erected In the near
future.
The Brigham street school Is one OF
the oldest school buildings I'm the city and
not only Is II poorly heated and ventilated
but the lighting facilities are far from
satisfactory. The heating apparatus is not
adequate and since the present cold spell
set IN. a great many complaints have
been made that the low temperature OF
the recitation rooms makes it positively
unsafe for the children 20 sit In. them.
on one occasion n was necessary 10 dis
miss two OF the classes, the room being
unfit for use
It Is thought that 10 remodel the build
ing and install new heating apparatus
would cost as much as II would 10 build q
new schoolhouse and the matter will
probably come up before the school COM
mittee at Its next meeting.
