The Delware Industrial Accident Board
Yesterday afternoon refused 10 compute
to lump sum, but devided 70 continue
having IN quarterly installments, the com
pensation in the case of Mary Sylvia
whose husband was killed while he was
in the employ of d. Z. O'Connell X Son.
Mrs. Sylvia and her children contemplate
going 70 Portugal, and she asked for
full settlement immediately. The board
thought it would be better TO make quart
erly payments until the children reach
maturity
No decision was rendered IN the case
Of the widow of Steve Hladley, who was
killed at the plant Of the General Chemical
Co. Mrs Hladley alleged her husband was
electrecuted, but the company declared
il was not responsible for his death. Com
promise will probably be effected.
The board recommended that the Pusey
& Jones Co. provide for George II. DAVIS
and his family. Mr. Davis had foot in
iured at the company's plant, and blood
poison developed, but he did not report
the accident within 90 DAYS rs required
by law
The case Of John koslk. who claimed h,
lost the sight OF an eve while he was EN-
ployed by the General Chemical Co, was
continued, so that additional testimony
