Syllabus: First-The form of fire insurance
policy prescribed by chapter 175, general laws
1885, as amended by chapter 254, general laws
1897 contains the only terms and conditions
which can be incorporated in contract of fire
insurance. Only the changes which are specific
ally authorized by section 3d. chapter 254, gen.
eral laws 1897, may be made in the statutory
form. .-, n q.
Second-Section 52 chapter 175, general laws
1885, does not authorize the parties to modify
or add to the statutory form. Its purpose is to
require that all the conditions Of the insurance
shall appear in one written instrument.
Third-A fire insurance company has no au-
thority to attach to the standard form of policy
a clause by. which the insured warrants the
maintenance Of designated clear space about
the insured premises, f a.
FOurth-Such 'space clause attached a
rider is void in so far as the warranty Is con-
cerned but as the statute expressly authorizes
an insurance company to print or use in its
policies forms of description and specifcatio of
the property insured, the so-called "space
clause may contain effective language limiting
the general descriptive language Of the policy.

Last Thursday an awful accident be-
fell the six. year old son of Mr. and Mrs
Alder: Lempke, residing just east of the
Whitney factory. The little fellow was
in the field with the hired man, who was
running mower. 1t appears that the
team had stopped to avoid ditch. Sud
denly the horses started and before the
boy, who was standing some distance
away, could step back further the sickle
caught him. Both legs were almost en-
tirely severed With all possible speed
the unfortunate lad was taken home and
Drs R G Morris and E NJ Brewer sum
moned.
At one o'clock Monday night the fire
department was called out in response
to an alarm sent in from the N E par
sonage. The boys were soon upon the
scene and it was evident that quick work
and the wood shed were in flames and
smoke was issuing from the root or the
main building. In remarkably short
time the house was being drenched by
several streams. But even then the task
of subduing the flames was difficult
one as much of the fire was inaccessible,
being under the roof. After an hours
hard work, however, the conlagration
was entirely extinguished. The kitchen
and shed are total loss, and the bal
ance of the house was considerably dam
aged by water and smoke.
