WEDNESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 13 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CASE WAS WITHDRAWN JUSTICE IRVXNQ'S DECISION IN THE MATTER. Conductor Fawcett Did Not Comply Strictly With the Eules- Other Court News. When the session of the supreme court opened yesterday morning Mr. justice Irving gave his decision in Fawcett vs. 0. P. R., arid* declared that "the plaintiff had not proved a sufficient case to guarantee a further advancement' of the trial. In giving the judgment he said: At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case the defendants moved for^ a non-suit. ' I think I muse grant it,%on the ground, not of contributory negligence, -which" is a question' for the jury.to determine, but because the plaintiff has not made out a cause of action. As' stated by cBrett TJ. R. in Wakelin vs. London & SouthwesterriRailway Company, J-.'R: (1890 j'10 B.-101:/'It is not a cause of action according to" the laws of England that the 'death of the deceased person was caused by the negligence of,the railway company in the sense that their negligence was a cause of his death. In an action"'for" * personal _* injuries through negligence, -although it Tvas.shown that*;there was negligence" ^whicli*' was a cause - of "the* �� accident and without "-.which-a"' it _i coiild 'riot.have .happened, yetf, -if "' the plaintiff himself was also guilty of negligence or want of reasonable ' ea^whichYjcon'tribiited^to the, acci- -> dent so' that the _accident - was the result'of tlie joint negligence of the ��� plaintiff and,the_defendants there is no cause of action?<>' /;-"* " - -;-, Thercause of action is,vthat as be-J tween the plaintiff and' the defend-, ant, the accident or injury, to the1 - plaintiff was-caused solely rby the* .negligence jof the defendant. - That - is to say, it "must be shown that the ���negligence of the .defendants was ''"the sole cause, y . . _ -_ Now^in ,this case the"plaintiff, according to the rules of ~ the railway company, jWas required to *'-" carefully.' ��� examine -- couplings, wheels and running, gear of^allcars in their'train" (rule No. 88), and by ���rule 93 "to see .that their ,cars are, in good order" before the leaving of the train. ..This to"* my mind (compelled' him ' to examine the wheels, shoes of the brakes, - brake ���beams, etc., and, ultimately the brake wheel itself in order to see .that it was in good working' order, i. e, with safety to the person .using it. .The cause of the accident - is not in dispute. It was that the ���t���brake���wheel���was-vinsecurely��� attached to, the brake' mast.. There ."may .have been negligence on the ipart of the'eompariy, butr there was ���negligence also on the part of conductor Fawcett who was killed.' He neglected to do that which was -prescribed by, the company should ibe done by him for-the security bf -limself, of the . brakeman who might have,to handle that brake, and possibly of the passengers who would be riding on the train. The case is very -much like that of Truman vs. Rudolph, 22 O. A. R. 250, where a master brewer sued his employer under, "the Workmen's Compensation for Injuries( Act for damages for injuries resultiug from falling from a defective ladder which it was his-duty to inspect. Jn that case the master brewer saw -the defect and instructed a subordinate to repair it, but neglected to see that the repairs were carried out, and Mr. justice Osier in delivering the judgment on the point of appeal, says at p. 254: "The defective condition _of the ladder was owing, as this evidence shows, to the' unfortunate plaintiff's .own neglect, not in the sense of contributory negligence but neglect in not seeing that the ladder was put in a properly secure position. He was the person whose duty it was to see that this was done, and his own neglect was what led to the injury." A judgment on non-suit was then approved. For these reasons I withdraw the case from the jury and direct judgment to be entered for the defendants with costs. P. E. Irving. Nelson, February 2nd, 1901. At the conclusion of the giving of the judgment, the case of McLeran vs. Billings was opened and at the J of the plaintiff, J. M. McLeran, had been taken. The contest in this case��arises out of a grub-staking agreement which is alleged to have been made.

James Van, a prospector, came before magistrate Crease at the police court yesterday morning on a charge of disorderly conduct, but as the necessary evidence could not be obtained the case was adjourned until this morning. Van was arrested on Monday night. He was in the Silver King hotel and there got mixed up in a fight which resulted in his getting his face badly cut up. As he walked out of the building a report from a revolver was heard .and when he was searched a gun was found in his pocket. It is thought that the gun went off accidentally, as it*was discharged while in the" prisoner's pocket. Vau had just returned from a hunting trip and it is thought that he did not intend to do any damage with the weapon that he carried. IH. Bromley'Davis, who "left* Nelson on December'26, 1899, with the second contingent-'of Canadian Mounted Rifles 'and �� who has been' in active service in South Africa since that time, arrived in Nelson by the Crow's, Nest boat last evening. During his service he was under the direct command of sir Charles Parsons and also lord Kitchener. - - He .was at the front all the time and was in many hot engagements.

"The hottest fight that Mr. Davis was in .was af'Baberton, in Orange Free State. Here l;hey were under fire for "eight hours.'' The British losses were Jabout 100 -men." This is.the first generalerigagement wherepom- pom guns were used. These' guns ,got, in theirJ deadly work_ and the Boer losses were exceedingly heavy.

Ottawa, February 12.���Some in- terestingNcriminal statistics are included in the report of the minister of agriculture for the year 1000. During the period 1887-90, the average number of convictions for offences of ail kinds in Canada was 87,250. In 1899 the total convictions were 38,710. * Of the 484,268 convictions, 00,081 were for indictable offences, the charges numbering 88,52.3, so that convictions formed 68.0 per cent of the charges. This approximates closely the ratio in the two countries from which the great bulk of our population springs. The proportion of the sexes in tlie first three-year period, between 1887-99, was 91 , males and 9 females. In the last three-year period it was 94 to 6. The proportion of women criminals in the greater crimes is smaller, and may be said to. become fixed at the figure of 6 in the 100 criminals, with a slight tendency to a reduction of the rate. : ^m ��**����� | '~"v-'"%s'*iJsl ��� '&���' ^-*_��i sy-i^^i -. ..."HI - ^sv ,i *5| '41 ���&>__ The returns of ive, inasmuch as ger to the state of juvenile crime, the convictions 1899 are instruct- they show a dan- from the increase One-third of. all for indictable of- stopped the limited fast mail from (16 and 21 years. fenses in Canada in 1899 was of persons under 21 years of age, and nearly one-half of this third were convictions of ���-.* persons under 16 years of age.

We are showing- a beautiful assortment of the following" carefully selected goods Bengalines Peau de Soie Brocades Satins in all shades A grand assortment of beautiful Silks in Blouse Lengths See our window which shows a few samples of our stock - THE' HUlSW'St :^. ��Jte -MvUnxml - The Toronto Globe "suggests that, because the Canadian .Pacific Rail- _ way.Company has been, accused,of imposing ^.exorbitant freight, rates, all;f nrtheiv attempts * at. developing the natural wealth of British-^Col- umbia be abandoned, and- that - James"Hill .should be given" a railway charter to tap . Southeast' Kootenay, and make it fa supply depot'for .the -United'-States lead trust, and a business feeder for the * Hill railway .trust. Ip the duties;discharged by the mayor of Nelson are worth $2000, and the occupant qf 'the office is **^abie"Tto=discharge~them*r there- re**- mains no excuse.on the part of. the cityfor liquidating a $2000 obligation with $1200. The Tribune is of the opinion' that a capable man is worth $2000 as mayor, and that mayor Fletcher is capable, and as the Municipal -Act authorizes the, payment of $2000 salary in-. such 'cases it submits that the proper1 thing for the council to do is to pay it. There may be some difference of opinion among the people' of Kootenay. as to whether the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has at all times had a single-eye to the development of its mineral resources, but there is no difference of opinion as to whether West Kootenay cannot more safely trust its development to a railway which stands to profit by such development, rather -than to' a' railway and smelter trust which may be more interested in ' arresting its development than in promoting it. In the present danger which confronts the mining and smelting industry of British Columbia, through the machinations of the directors of the Crow's Nest Coal Company and James J. Hill, the talk about a railway commission may be regarded as drawing a red herring across the trail. Of what benefit will' a railway commission be after James J. Hill has secured control of ithe-only available coal fields, together twitlv �� charter for a railway to haul the Whux the organs of tlie Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company tender their cheerful assurances that tho Fcriiie Coal Company- is meeting every demand made upon it by tho smelting industry of British Colum- bie, they should be prepared to explain why the Greenwood smelter is forced to place an order for coal with the Lethbridge Coal Company. As a rule smelting ��� companies da not pay a dollar -more per-ton for fuel merely for the purpose of adding to a railway company's receipts. The petition of the iron and steel manufacturers of Ontario, which is now before the Ross ��� government,- requests that the full duties upon nickel and copper-nickel- ores and matte be .collected,. and that.the sums so :raised be applied to.the encouragement of 'the manufacture in Ontario'of nickel-iron and nickel- steel. The export duties referred to call for the payment of $10 per ton upon . nickel ore; and of $60 per ton for nickel matte, and-of $7 per ton for copper-nickel ore, and of $50 per ton for matte, from the.-same ore. For years past. Ithe-great, nickel-, .steel industries of the United States have been fed with the raw product bf the Ontario mines, but not con- tent with .this -they were instru-, mental in having an -import duty of $120 per ton-imposed upon, any- refined', nicker? entering Tithe -United States.-frbm^Canada._ 'The: OntanicT export duties-:are designed to;place the r manufacturers of Canadian nickel-steel upon the same footing as their American competitors in that the'Americans' will be. obliged- to p'ayv.the'- same duties 'upon/, raw" material exported from-: Ontario, as the Canadian manufacturers-' are' 'obliged**, to" pay*'"upon '"refined nickel-imported Anto the United States. , In , the -pastr Ontario, although' it possessed -the ��� raw- mate - rials,"'allowed tbe^United States to monopolize1 all' the' benefits' resulting from their manufacture, and * even patiently submitted to the im- < position'of duties* designed to stifle ��� Canadian enterprise. This 'condi-l tipri is; now being "altered, and for; the future Ontario'will dictate the * terms upon n which, its. natural) .wealth shall^be'exploited. ���' -* EASTERN CANADA.*TELEGRAMS.

A rather1 novel thing happened in connection with.the marriage of Miss Minnie Lillie yesterday. "''A turkey had been purchased for the wedding dinner, which, when dressed, was found to, contain a note dated December 10th to the effect that the turkey was raised on a farm one mile and a half from Westport, Ontario, and was one of a flock of one hundred. The writer, who signs herself Alma Palmer, expressed the hope that the turkey would furnish a good Chiistmas dinner for some one. Ther strange thing was that Westport is only a few miles from Perth, Ontario, Miss Lillie's birthplace, and no doubt the writer had often met the young lady at whose wedding the turkey was served for dinner. - D. 0."

The employees at the mine are coming to Nelson to attend the ceremonies, but at 1 o'clock this morning tbe Spokane Falls & Northern train had not arrived," the delay, it is said, being due "to land-- slides"' which occurred south <of -Northport.-^-The funeral-will not be held until the staff''reaches Nelson. If the obsequies'are held today the deceased's remains will be shipped to Cincinnati by the steamer International at 7 o'clock tomorrow and will be interred in the Spring Grove cemetery at that place.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-02-13 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
