LABORER FAILED
 TO HEED WARNING.
Coroner Brown Finds No Negligence
 in Connection With Fatality.

The death of Nicolo Bacanicolo, the Italian laborer who died at the Law renee hospital. New London, Thursday afternoon from a fracture of the skull received while at work in a sewer trench in Mitchell stret, Groton. as the result of cave in, was not due to criminal negligence. This Is the find ing given by Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich, who conducted an investigation into the p1ans death last week.
 In his inquiry, Coroner Brown ascer- tained from Bacanicolo's fellow work men that he had been warned not to go into the trench until the large stone. which was op the side of the trench and which struck him on the back of the head. causing the injury which resulted in his death, had been removed. He evidently failed to heed the warning, and in the course of his digging the stone became dislOdged, causing the cave in.

more than five hands, in the case of
 injury that incapacitated the em- ploye. We do not intend to go into detailed explanation of the bill here, but will just speak of a feature that will interest a great many. A man who owns little place, with a house and garden, etc., may hire a man to do any work about the place, -carpentering, painting, paper hang ing, wood cutting, blowing, or any one of the numerous things he might want done. Under the law, if the carpenter or other workman were care- less and suffered severe injury, it might cost the employer every cent he owns. The woman called in to do washing might, against the protest of her employer, take unnecessary risk, fall down stairs or off a chair or step ladder, and collect of her em- ployers every last dollar they own. We are not kicking about the law; oh, no! Only we probably will not hire anything done that we can do ourselves or let go undone. The com pensation commissioners are very busy just now explaining the new law, and blanks for the use of employers are being sent to the town clerks, who will furnish same to those who are entitled to them.
