on rehearing.
We carefully considered all the questions presented by appellant’s motion for a rehearing, before writing the original opinion, and see no good reason now for changing our views of the law as therein expressed. We think, however, that our conclusions of fact, with respect to the distance of the manheads in the rear of the boilers from the ground or floor, and the length of the ladder necessary to remove them with safety to the employe attempting to do so, were incorrect. It is stated in the opinion that the manheads in the rear ends of the boilers were about 12 or 14 feet from the floor, and that in removing them it was necessary for the safety of the employe engaged in that work to use a ladder 12 or 14 feet long. These findings are corrected, and we now find that the manheads in the rear ends of the boilers were about 8 or 9 feet from the floor, and that to remove them safely it required a ladder about 8 or 9 feet long. Our other findings of fact are supported by the evidence and will not be modified or changed; The motion for rehearing is overruled.

Affirmed.

Writ of error refused.
