$500 FOR TOO MUCH STEAM
Caused Emery Wheel to Burst and
Injured Engineer.

The trial before Justice Amend and a
fury, to-day. OF the suit OF Patrick
Neylan, an engineer employed by the
Vanderbilt Hotel. for damages suffered
through the breaking Of an emery wheel
when he turned on the power at the re-
quest OF an electrician employed by the
James Reilly's Sons Company, against
whom the action was brought. involved
a curious dispute. Louis Steckler, coun
sci for Neylan, brought out that Martin
Brown the electrician. wanted more
power to aid him In adjusting certain
appliances to the dynamo. and Neylan
said he asked him to turn on more
steam. He did so and suddenly the
emery wheel burst, smashing his Shout
der so that he was laid up for a long
time
The Reilly Company csntended that
the dangers of the emery wheel were so
well known TO all engineers that in
assisting Brown Neylan made himself
n fellow employee and acted with full
knowledge OF the danger, and further,
that In fact he misunderstood Browns
order, which was to turn of and not to
increase power. and his own mistake
caused the accident. But the Jury
thought otherwise and brought in a
verdict Of $3.50 in Neylan's favor.

An Ancient Teutonic House.

The close kinship between the an
cient Teutonic architecture and the
Greek remains of Troy and Micene
has been disclosed through the excava-
tons carried out by Professor Schu-
chardt of the Royal chronological mu-
scum at Nedlitz, near Potsdam.
The careful work of the professor
during two years has laid bare a forti-
fed dwelling dating from 300 to 200
B. c. The principal structure meas
ures % by 10 feet. 1t brings to light
the first modern knowledge as to how
the ancient Teutonic house was con-
structed. Among the fragments of
furniture found during the excavations
are a stone mill and a stone beaten for
pulverizing grain.
There are also several iron knives
and the bones of cattle, sheep and wild
boar, while the jaws Of q catfish in
which an iron fshhook IS sticking have
been discovered.
