M'CARTHY'S CLAIM
 DISMISSED TODAY
Commissioner Rules on In- jury Received By Claim-
 ant in 1882

The compensation claim of Thom- as Mccarthy of $50 Baldwin street against the Chase Companies is dis missed in a finding handed down today by Commissioner James M. Lynch. Mccarthy sought additional compensation for an injury sustain ed in 1892.
 Reviewing the case, the commis- sioner points out that Mccarthy sustained a hernia Sept. 8, 1882, and was paid regular compensation for considerable period. He returned to work after medical treatment. On Jan. 6, 1883, he signed waiver with the company.
 In 1884, Mccarthy went to Ireland and spent six months there. On his return he worked with the Smith and Griggs Co. and later with the city. Early this year he went to @ doctor and found that he was suf- fering from a hernia condition. Med- ical evidence, however. showed that the hernia could not be traced to the original injury of 1892.
