NELSON, B. 0., THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS TRAMWAY COMPANY WINS J DRY FINDS AGAINST PLAINTIFF PETERS The Accident Was Due to Approach- the Heavy Grade at an Excessive Rate of Speed. nig The case of Peters vs. the Nelson Tramway Company, in which the plaintiff was seeking to recover damages from the tramway com-, pany for tlie loss of an arm, resulting from the accident which marked the opening of the tramway service in tliis city, was virtually disposed of yesterday when the special jury brought in a verdict iu favor of the defendants. Great interest was manifested in the case, wliich occupied the past four .days of the supreme court sitting. Mr. justice Drake completed his charge to the jury about 3:30, wheu he submitted a list of eight ques- E tions to tlie jurors. In his charge he reviewed the main . features of- the case for the plaintiff and the manner iu which it was met by the defence. The plaintiff's case was brought under the common law, and was rested upon Jive points: (1) That the defendants' car was coo heavy; (2) that the grade was too great; (3) that the car brake was insufficient; (4) that the operating power Avas 'insufficient, and (5) that the curve on the grade iu question \".was improperly constructed. The court explained that while under the common law a master was obliged to take all ' reasonable precautions for the safety of workmen, and responsible to'the extent of supplying efficient apparatus and also.,for failure to use it in a proper manner, employers were not liable for accidents to employees caused by- ignorance or neglect On the part of fellow servants. . Every workman was'more or less subjeet to certain; ... dangers and motormen were liable to certain risks. Workmen were supposed to undertake such risks provided no extraordiny risk was introduced. It was for the jurors to apply the principles .-mentioned in the evidence submitted. The court then reviewed the evidence bearing upon the manner in wliich the car, upon which motorman Peters was engaged, approached the top of the grade in question, aud iutimated that it approached the grade at a very much higher late of speed than it should have done. The matter of the brakes upon the car was then discussed and the fact commented upon that Peters and another employee named Wilson • had been instructed to adjust the brakes upon the car in question^ =wliich="tlrey="JTad nl^leetlU^tTf do. The brakes were not adjusted, but the omission was not reported. With respect to the allegation of insufficient power the court pointed out that evidence had beeu adduced to the effect that in view of the high rate of speed at which the car took the grade no amount of power could have held it. The court dismissed the contention with respect tothe faulty construction of the curve in not having the outer rail raised upon the weight of Mr. Campbell's evidence and with respect to any responsibility on the part of the company for faulty construction of the roadbed said no responsibility would lie unless it could be shown that tho company departed from the advise of its engineer and that as a result of such departure tlie accident was caused. It; was sufficient for tlie company to sho w in such matters that a competent engineer was engaged*and his advice followed. Tiie case for the defence was reviewed briefly after which'a list of did such defects arise from any negligence of the employees of the defendants ? Answer—Have not found that any defects existed. 4. Were competent men employed to construct the car line aud install the apparatus ? Answer—Yes. 5. To what cause if any do you attribute the accident? Answer— In permitting the car to attain to such a pace* before reaching the heaviest grades. 0. Was'the plaintiff guilty of contributory negligence ? Answer— No. 7. Did the plaintiff undertake the risks incurred with his employment knowing the dangers attending it? Answer—Yes. 8. Damages ? Answer—None. Upper Yukon Open. Seattle, Wash., May 22.—Advices from Lynn Canal ports are to the effect that the upper Yukon is now open to navigation. On May lGth the upper Le Barge lake was still covered with ice, but was expected to become open in a few days. Smallpox among the southeastern native Alaskans is reported as dying out. The disease is alleged by many physicians not to he smallpox at all, but to be caused by excessive use of fish and general filthiness. Will Take in Exposition. Chicago, May 22.—M.

Victoria, May,22.—The United States revenue cutter Grant, captain Tozier, ran'...ashore on an uncharted rock in Saanich inlet at 8 o'clock this morning. She struck on her bilge well forward, and tore a bad hole in her hhll, the inrush of water filling her 'forward part to the main deck, throwing up her after part, leaving it dry. The crew gathered together what effects they could, and/went; ashore in the cutter's boats, arriving in Cole bay, where they are camped at 9 a.m. Lieutenant Sadler came to the city to get assistance, t He ..returned witli a wrecking outfit at 5 p. ro. The Grant was on a special mission in that water, presumably to investigate smuggling, when she stranded. She is in a bad position, but lieutenant Sadler thinks 9he can be saved. Southampton, May 22.—The enp challenger with king Edward and party on board was totally dismasted today by a squall off Cowes, Isle of Wight. The king, who was on deck, had a miraculous escape. Topmast, mainmast and bowsprit were broken short off. The yachts were to be sent today racing over a triangular course similar to one of the American cup courses; The eutrance into the race of tlie yawl Sibarita, about 99 feet over all, placed the captains of the two Shamrocks under the .necessity of driving their boats at full speed in order to make any creditable show and promised king Edward an opportunity of witnessing the smartest race of the series. There was delay in establishing a starting line. The wind freshened considerably aud blew twelve to thirteen knots, with the prospects of magnificent racing. King Edward, desiring to take a more active part in the proceeding than was possible from the deck of the Erin, was taken on board the challenger, accompanied by Sir Thomas Lipton. While theyachts were maneuvering for the start a squall came up without the slightest Avarning and the bowsprit of the challenger was carried away short. The extra strain thus thrown on the topmast proved too much for the spar and it whipped, broke nnd doubled off to leeward, carrying the whole weight of the jackyard and the gear over the side in a terrible tangle. Almost as the topmast fell the great steel mast, weighing over two tons and carrying spars and gear weighing an additional three or four tous, .swayed for a moment and then .by great good fortune plunged over the side into the water with the sound of breaking wire and tearing gear in the air. The members of the royal party were seated on deck, close to the companion; way. ■ The king - was showing keen pleasure at watching the fight which captain Sycamore was making for 'the advantage at the start. The yacht was racing along at a formidable angle aud the sloping deck with* a mere fringe of rail seemed a rather perilous place for the accommodation of-the visitors. As the wreckage swept the deck it was. most astonishing that no one was hurt. For a moment or two the situation appeared to be very grave. The .king maintained his composure. ; Most of the head men went overboard. Within five seconds of the disaster the Shamrock I bore around to render assistance, when she in turn was caught by the squall and her topsail spar collapsed,'making her helpless. The press ; tug following the racers ranged, alongside the helpless yachts, arid a torpedo, boat which was in the vicinity and the Sybarita sent boats to the scene. In answer to a hail captain Syca: more sent the reassuring message that all on board:had escaped without injury. As quickly, as .possible the king arid the royal party were transferred to the Erin, and later the king, accompanied by Sir Thoma9 Lipton,- landed at Southampton en route to London. The crews of the racers set about clearing away the wreckage. Owing to the unwieldy nature of the spars aud gear, it was found impossible to get them on board, and they were cut away and allowed to sink after the buoys had been placed to mark the place. The yachts were then towed back to await a decision as to what should be done towards repairing them. London, May 22.—The Shamrock disaster caused much excitement in London, and there were many inquiries at Marlborough House. There is much speculation as to how the accident will affect the cup races. The editor of the Yachting World says there ia no reason why the yachts cannot be speedily repaired and continue their trial and go to America on the date arranged. However, he is not sanguine of success. The damage to the challenger is estimated at £2000, as nearly every scrap oi her gear is gone. Southampton, May 22. — Sir Thomas Lipton fears that it will be impossible to repair the Shamrock II. in time for the races and it looks as if the contest was 'off for this year. Sir Thomas will cable to the New- York Yacht Club a long account of the accident with an expression of doubt if he will be able to fulfill his engagement. Nothing can be finally settled until the conference which is to be held between the builders and Mr. Watson, the designer of the Shamrock II. $300,000, ifc was different. In small work the surplus stock which could not be avoided would eat up any margin which might exist between what the goods could be purchased for in the east and what they could be secured for iu Nelson; and in addition to this there was an advantage in dealing with* merchants at short range. May Resort to Conscription. New York, May 22.—An ominous statement of the question of conscription was made by lord Raglan, the under secretary for war, last night, says the Tribune's London correspondent. Speaking afc the united services he said that Englishmen must not be frightened at the idea of conscription. There were only two ways of getting men for the army—they could pay the men and make their lot comfortable, or they, could' press them, as paying them had already been declared impracticable. In this connection it is interesting to "note that the militia ballot has just been put into operation in Guernsey to strengthen the local militia. Guernsey is the only portion of the British empire where conscription is in force. SITUATION IS UNCHANGED IN THE STBIKE OF MACHINISTS FOE NINE HOUBS. President O'Connell.

At the meeting of the school trustees last evening some informal discussion took place with respect to the provincial government's vote of $5000 for new school buildings.

The trustees have as yet received no notification as to whether they or the city council will have the spending of the government vote, but as soon as the point is cleared up an effort will be made tf) secure united action on the part of the trustees and members of the city council. .Will Leave on Saturday. San Francisco, May 22.—Mrs. McKinley's condition has improved so rapidly that the official announcement has been made that tlio president and party are to start for Washington on Saturday. Secretary Hay has abandoned his idea of returning to Washington immediately. He has definitely decided that all members of the cabinet shall remain here till the departure of the president, meanwhile official business will be transacted in the same manner as though the members of the presidential family were at their desks in Washington.

At 100 Feet Depth the Ore is Changing From Galena to Copper With Increased Values. M. A. Green of Rossland, the engineer for the Montana Gold Mining Compauy, which has in hand the development of the Blue Bird group of claims near Deer Park, was in Nelson yesterday consulting government agent John A. Turner with a view to securing some assistance towards the building of a wagon road to the Montana company's property. ==TheiMontana=Gold^=Mining=Gom= pany is to a considerable extent an eastern Canadian concern, much of the treasury .stock having been taken up by residents of ..Hamilton, Ontario, and unless tlie company's engineer is very wide in his estimate the shareholders have a very valuable property in the Blue Bird group. "Up to date about 700 feet of work has been done upon the property, which has given a deptli of 100 feet upon the vein. The ledge upon wliich the work has been done has so far maintained a uniform size of about three feet, but the character of tho ore appears to be changing as depth is attained. At the outset the company considered that it had a silver-lead property in the Blue Bird, the oro in the upper portions of the ledge being chiefly galena, smelter tests upon which give returns of $34 to the ton after making allowance for the customary smelter deductions. Sufficient work: has been done to demonstrate that there is a considerable body of this galena ore, and the company has now under consideration the erection of a 50-ton concentrator, irrespective of what greater depth upon the property may disclose. Three propositions are being considered by the company for the erection of the concentrator and it is expected that it will be in operation this fall with every prospect of sufficient ore being blocked out by that time to keep it going to its utmost capacity. With respect to the change whicli is being noticed in tho character of the ledge matter in the 100- foot level it is all on the right side. The galena appears to be giving place to iron, and a recent assay from the ledge showed 43-100 ounces gold, 25 ounces silver and within a fraction of 3 percent copper. Should further work show that these values are maintained it would mean that the.copijerjralues,would cover tlie' cost' of smelting, leaving the gold and silver values to cover the cost of mining aud returns upon investment. AU told, the Montana Gold Mining Company has expended about $20,000 in developing the property, but sufficient remains in the, treasury to carry on its present plan of development for another twelve months. As to smelting facilities', the property is situated about an equal distance from the Trail and Nelson smelters, so that it altogether depends upon; the demand for this character of ore which smelting point will be utilized.

Crosby of Ofallon, Illinois, today won the championship shooting trophy and a purse of $1000 on the grounds of the Illinois Gun Club and established a record that is believed to be without precedent. Crosby killed 109 birds straight. The match, which began yesterday, showed three men tied with 100 each. Gilbert missed his 108th bird today, while H. J. Sconce failed to get his 103rd.

Former Mayor Carlson of Kaslo, who has the contract for the grading of the Canadian Pacific's Lardeau branch, and who has been in Nelson for the past two days sizing up the railway situation, left for home yesterday. In an interview with a Tribune representative mayor Carlson said he was convinced that construction upon the Lardeau branch would be mayor burg, team. Thomas Illinois, Marshall of Keiths- will captain the A Tennessee Flood. Knoxvillk, Tennessee, May 22.— Millions of dollars damage has been done and at least eight lives lost in upper east Tennessee by the floods caused by the recent heavy rains. The Doe river, the Wautauga, the Holston and others are out of bounds, and growing crops have been swept away all along their course. _^ The Cyclists.

The score was: Glaw, 150.3; Li/.efcte, 150.3; Allen, 150.3; Peterson, 150.3; Vince, 117.4. commenced at once, and that he thinks he has good grounds for his conviction, as was evidenced by the fact that shortly before he left on the Kaslo boat he authorized the engagement of 50 men at once for the work, and placed orders with several Nelson wholesale houses for respectable bills of supplies. In speaking of the immediate construction, mayor Carlson said the work would furnish employment for about 700 men, which would hold out for the remainder of the summer months, as it would take fully five months to complete the contract. His outfit was already on the ground, and pending the recent shut-down upon the grading contract he had been filling in. time in fixing up some portions of the roadbed which was built during the race between the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific to secure control of the Lardeau business. Touching the cpiestion of supplies, Mayor Carlson said ho would buy where he could get goods the cheapest, and in his opinion the bulk of the supplies would be purchased from Nelson's wholesale merchants. He had had rather extensive dealings with them in the past and his experiences had been altogether satisfactory. His contract was comparatively small in the way of railway construction, which would preclude the policy so generally adopted of having all supplies purchased in the eastern markets and shipped in direct. In the case of large contracts such a policy had, doubtless, much to commend it to the railway contractor, but on a small piece of work, involving some Egyptian Eebel Pardoned.

Philadelphia, May 22.—It is" estimated that 2000 machinists are out now in this city. Two hundred men joined the strikers this morning. The action of the allied trades committee, which last night gave assurances of assistance to the machinists, have caused considerable uneasiness at the steamship , yards, as this will probably draw the boilermakers, riveters a,nd metal workers of all kinds into the1"' situation. San Francisco, May 22.—Absolute order has so far been maintained in the strike of machinists here. Thirteen shops have granted the workmen's demands. The Ful- _t_on and—McCorniick^i ron works— have been virtually closed by the strike of moulders employed in those places. Moulders in other shops did not strike because they say the movement has not yet received the sanction of their national body in Cincinnati. Henry T.

None vwill tear down one section to build ' up another. In other words, they , will be industrial and not ''political" railways. The tconstruction of the Lardo ; railway means an expenditure of over a quarter, of a million dollars for wage9 alone. The bulk of this < money will be spent iu Kaslo and , Nelson, which will help to make the ' people of these two towns contented and happy. No time should be lost in announcing that Nelson means to build the silver-lead refinery on Kootenay lake. Why should tlie silver-lead mining districts continually pay tribute to cities afc a distance. The more men employed in Kootenay the more demand there will be for mineral claims, and the more mineral claims developed the more money there will be in circulation. The Irrepressible Quarantine Question. To the Editor of The Tribune: In mayor Fletcher's reply of the 20fch instant through a Trihune representative to my letter, he in- timated thatTThad got~off wrong with respect to reporting suspected cases. Well, I am not the only one that has got off wrong according to his worship, as every, physician in town with one exception holds the same opinion as myself. I may also state that when the secretary of the provincial board of health was in town only a few weeks ago he was asked regarding this, and he. said the only thing that could be done was to report them as suspicious, as very rarely could a case be reported definitely when first seen. . The mayor cites section 74 of the Health Act of 1897, which, however,: does not deal with the question at issue, but simply makes it impossible for any person to wilfully allow dangerous diseases to spread without making himself liable. As Mr. Fletcher, being chief magistrate of the city, should know that the city health bylaw which was passed last year reads as follows: "Duties of medical health officer, sub-section E., section 7. On receiving information of the outbreak of any contagious, infectious or epidemic disease of a dangerous character within the city of Nelson, he (health officer) shall visit without delay the spot where the outbreak has occurred and inquire into the cause and circumstances of such outbreak, etc. Sub-section K., section 7: He shall examine into all nuisances, sources of filth and causes of sickness within the city which may be injurious to the public health/etc." What is meant by these sections?

Berlin, May 22.���It is authoritatively announced that tlie powers will agree to require the present Chinese export duties to be paid in gold, which is equivalent to doubling the duties. The same payment will also probably be required in the ease of the salt and opium taxes. Germany is apparently averse to interfering with the likin dues, since they are too complicated and require too much administrative machinery and too much mixing in tlie internal ..affairs of China. Oilicials here admit that the powers arc likely to divide into two groups upon the mode of settlement, some following Great Britain's idea of a loan and others supporting payment through increased revenue. It is not expected, however, that a disagreement will disturb the present harmonious action. SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent.. GRANGE V.

New York, May 22.���Geueral Rafael Uribibe, the Colombian revolutionary leader, nojv in this city, issued a statement last night regarding the treatment of political and military prisoners by the present Colombian government. He said: "The penitentiary at Bogota is a small one and in it has been crowded more than 200 political prisoners, besides 500 ordinary criminals. In order to get to sleep the prisoners have to take turns iu lying down, as there is not enough room for all to lie down at-once. Their beds are the damp, cold and filthy pavementof the prison. There is neither water nor sanitary facilities. The wretches'breath poisons the air; and smallpox, dysentery and typhus fever have been playing havoc among the unfortunate creatures. These statements are confirmed in the records published by the official, board of health. Well- known and prominent men have been loaded with chains. ; "Among the prisoners are a large number of boys, from 10 to 14* years old. The methods followed for sending people to the duugeons have been copied after those of the inquisition; that is, by anonymous denunciations. General Marceliano Velz, the commander-in-chief, on being appealed to by the prisoners, and finding himself powerless to put a stop to the horrors, resigned. The government promised to release the prisoners if I would issue a manifesto advising the liberals to stop fighting. In spite of the fact that the government has not kept its word, the fighting will cease for a time. When, however, the liberals have succeeded in gathering sufficient money and ammunition the fighting will bo resumed. When it begins again I shall return to Colombia and lead the liberal army." Switchmen Did Not Strike. BuFii\A.i.o, May 22.���In response to a request for information relative to the reported Strike of switchmen on the Lehigh Valley road in this city, superintendent Van Allan today saitl to a representative of the Associated Press: "Our locomotive shopmen at Buffalo are out, a total of 254 out of 351 being ou strike.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-23 |
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. |
