NELSON, B. C, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS IT WAS A CASE OF FRAUD CORDINGLY STOOD TO WIN IN CASE OF FIRE. Justice Drake Delivers His Written Judgment in the Nelson Furniture Company's Insurance Suit. Mr. Justice Drake yesterday delivered ii written judgment in tho case of Cordingly, Purdy and It. AV. Day in the'-Scottish Union aud National Insurance Company, as follows: After the tiial had proceeded for two days ifc was shown that the plaintiffs, Cordingly aud Purdy, had no interest in the subject matter of tlie action, they having assigned all their assets to Mr. Day as a trustee, to realize thoir estate and pay their creditor?, and any balance lef b was to be paid to Cordingly and Purdy. I was of the opinion that Day was a necessary party and I directed him to bo added. Mr. Day consented, understanding that ho would not personally be liable for costs, bub only the trust estate. The defendants knew before the action was brought to trial thafc Mr. Day was assignee, for they so plead in their defence. They ought to have objected to the institution of the action before putting all parties to the expense of a trial. Sue lliistiu vs. Tobin, 49, s.c. ch. 2G2. If Mr. Day had declined to be made a plaintiff I should have dismissed the action, bub as 1 think that there l?v;.vo been errors on both sides I siiall in this case not make Mr. Day perso'-..illy liable for costs. No\Vr, with regard to tlie action itself, tlie jury finds tliat there was fraud and misrepresentation and a false statement; in the plaintiil's. application for insurance. Insurance is merfely an indemnity for actual loss. Some people consider that over-valuation is of trifling importance, but it becomes of serious importance when it induces insurance companies to tako risks and permit other insurances to be effected to au amount which will induce dishonest persons to seb fire to tlie property insured, and if a total loss occurs they are enabled to make a profit out of what should be au indemnity only. Mr. justice Taschereau, iu giving judgment in " the supreme court iu North British and Mercantile Insurance Company vs. Towuville, 25 S. C. p. 193, says: "Over-insurance is ono of the greatest sources of fraud in connection with the insurance business, if tlio insured is nob in part a co-insurer wifch the company, that is if the ���parties-donot-have a common interest in the preservation of the property insured one of the most efficient safeguards agaiusb fraud and crime is removed." In this case there was am pio evidence of over-insurance. Tlie plaintiffs wore on the verge of dissolution of their partnership, notice to dissolve having been given, and ia fact litigation had commenced between tho partners. Cordingly effected these insurances without tlio kuowledgo of his parlner, after the partnership disputes had commenced, and without Pardy's knowledge and at a time when tlie valuo of the property had been re- ducod below the amount of the last stocktaking, and on a statement by hitri alleging the value of the stock was double what it was in reality. Tiie jury finds the declarations made by the plaintiffs with regard to their loss were untrue. This being so the plaintiffs are nob entitled..-to recover. Tlie other questions were with relation to the appointment taken by the defendant's appraiser and the jury finds that no objection was made thereto. This had reference to clause No. I of the variations of the conditions endorsed on the policy, and the effect would bo that if the policy iu all respects should be valid, tho amount of loss would be limited to tho amount thus appraised, and as the whole of the goods have been sold by Mr. Day it would be impossible ab this date to ascertain the correctness of Cord- ingly's alleged valuation sent, in on the 2(5bh of September, 1900. I think the whole of the evidence "shows an attempted fraud by the plaintiffs, aud on these findings I dismiss the plaintiff's action with CL.A.S. Carnegie's Gift to Scotchmen. London, May 20.���Mr. Carnegie has for some years been considering the plau for helping Scotch students to obtain a university education. He consulted with reputed educators and the result was that he presented ��2,000,000, which will produce an income of ��50,000. Mr. Carnegie's inquiries show that the total fees paid to the four universities is ��40,000 annually. He considers tliat the ��2,000,000 lie has donated will give an income sufficient to provide free university education for every boy and girl in Scotland capable of passing the entrance examination. Mr. Carnegie is determined that the benefits shall be open to rich and poor alike, so that there shall be nothing suggestive of pauperism connected with the gift. He desires that all Scotchmen and Scotch women shall enter the university on an equal footing. The system is mado perpetually free and will probably be under government auspices. Another Yacht Race. Rvde, Isle of Wight, May 20.��� The two Shamrocks started this morning for a race over an open sea course, the first leg of which is a beat from Calshot castle to a mark outside the Nab lightship. The wind was steady fiom the east and was blowing a club topsail breeze. The Shamrock I had tho advantage of the start and crossed the line ahead of the challenger. When they tacked ten minutes later neither yacht had gained any advantage. The Sliamrock II won by about a minute. ' London, May 21.���The time at the finish of the triangular course in yesterday's yacht races was as follows: Shamrock II, 4 hours 5. minutes 5 seconds; Shamrock I, 4 hours 2 minutes 27 seconds. FOUR HUNDRED MIN LAID OFF Because of a Grudge Against One Man. Rossland, May 20.���At the Le Roi mine between 120 and 130 men were laid off today. Inquiry of the management as to the cause of tliis elicited the statement that the men were dismissed as a result of trouble at the smelter at Northport. Trouble lias beeu brewing there for several days, and the smelter was finally completely closed down. Three hundred men employed there are out. A foreman in the smelter earned the ill-will (of somo of the employees, and as *a consequence of this it is. alleged tliat threats were made that he \Vas to be run down the railway track, and that he might be thrown in thef-Columbia river. The management of the smelter therefore decided .fto close down, as it did not desire'} to' have any trouble, until such time as 'matters would quiet" down. The, only work in progress is that of roasting ore in the yards. It was further stated that there was no question of wages nor of hours involved, but it was simply one of a personal grievance against the foreman on the part of the smelter men. If the trouble continues the Rossland Great Western, the Le Roi No. 2 and the Le Roi will be closed down, as the yards at the smelter at Northport are not of sufficient capacity to hold much more ore.

S. railway track this "morning. The accident happened about a quarter of a mile beyond the Honeyman foundry in a little cut. In this cut there are a number of railway ties lying up against the cutting with the end resting on the road bed, and MeLeod either fell among the ties or sat dqwn^amorig them and fell asleep.. As the Spokane train was, backing oiib to Five Mile Point the brakesman noticed some object near the track at this point but could not determine whether or not it was one of the -ties which had-slipped down..'' The- noise - of the approaching - train roused MeLeod however and he attempted to rise, tin owing his legs across the track when the train was within 75 or 100 feet from him. Tlie brakesman signaled for brakes at once, aud the train was -brought up as speedily as. possible, ,but not before the wheels of the entire train had passed over the unfortunate man's legs' severing, oue about the knee, and the other between tho knee and thigh. The train crew put MeLeod on a flat car and ran back as far as Honeyman's foundry, from, which point assistance was telephoned for. Ib was then decided to bring him into the city, but he died a few moments after leaving the foundry. Coroner Arthur was notified of the "accident" aiidlosb no time"iu getting on the ground. He has not yet decided whether an inquest will be held, as the eye-witnesses of the accident were all on the Spokane train, but if au inquest is deemed necessary it will probably be arranged for Wednesday.

It was settled; but how? Simply by the two parties interested getting together anrt hearing each other talk. That is the way all such differences can be settled. If people having differences will not come together to adjust tliem within a reasonable time, the law should step in and do it for thera. The Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern, which is a railway that looks well on a blue print, proposed that theprovince give them asubsidyof $4000 a mile for a section beginning at Cascade and running thence thirty miles toward Greenwood, aud a like amount for another section beginuiug at a point on the Fraser river and running thence thirty miles east into theChilliwack farming district., This meant the construction of sixty miles of railway through a comparative easy country in which to build railways, and one in which there is promise of paying traffic from the start. The provincial subsidy would amount to $240,000. In addition, the same company has a bonus of $350,000 from the City of Victoria. They also say that they must be allowed to bond the road for $35,- 000 a mile; bonds that if sold would realize at least 90 cents on the dollar, which would be d$l,890,000 ; or a total of $2,480,000 from subsidies and bond sales. The thirty- mile section into the Chilliwack country would not cost to exceed $17,500 a mile, and the Cascade sec- -tiou-shouIdnot=cbst"to"exceed==$25F= 000 a mile ; or in all $1,275,000. The difference between $2,480,000 is $1,205,000, which after making all reasonable deductions for the cost of moulding public opinion and pay of parliamentary agents should leave sufficient to pay interest on the bonded debt for a period of ten years anyway, even if the road did not earn a dollar over operating expenses. The V. V. and K people are unwilling to tako any chances of making a loss. They want a cinch. STRATFORD VELLUM Thk Dominion government has not yet decided where the assay oflieo will bo located.

Judging ��� from the reports sent The Tribune from its special reporter in the Boundary country, there is going to be some railway building in that section in the immediate future.

The Carpenters and Power Company. To the Editor of The Tribune : Would you kindly allow me space in your paper to draw the attention of the carpenters of this district.to some of the actions of the West Kootenay Power and Lijjht Company at Bonnington Falls. They had a number of carpenters engaged on their works there at union time and union wages, and it appears they had tried hard to get them to work one hour extra per day, but failed; and so on last Saturday every mau was paid off, without a word of warning or any explanation-whatever. As I was the last to go to the office for iny pay, and having complained about the way we were laid off, the manager, probably thinking lie hud one that he could do as ho liked with, asked me to call on him Sunday morning and he would make me a proposition that would be to my own interest (and as I did not belong to the union I suppose he thought I would jump at it), but told me at the same time not to say anything to any of the other men, and he would say - no. more until all the others had lef t. , As I did not intend leaving that night, anyway, I thought I would hear what ho had ito say; and on Sunday morning he made, his proposition, aud it was to the effect that I would stay on and work at the same pay, bub to work ten hours instead of eight. As I have never made a scab of myself yet, I did not accept his kind offer; and I would like toadvise all carpenters to keep away from there unless they wish to be looked upon as scabs, aud are willing to work ten hours per" day instead of union time. By kindly publishing this you will confer a great favor on the carpenters in this district. J. E. BlSVE RIDGE. Nelson, May 20th, 1901.

Golden Km.* The chief justice, in his charge to the jury, called attention to. some of the statements made by counsel for defence tliat were not supported by evidence. The judge was. very careful to refrain from expressing an opinion, leaving that entirely to the jury. The judge deprecated tlie practice of working on tho sympathy of the jurymen, and cautioned tho jury against being influenced by any emotion on one side or the other. At 3 p. m. the jury in the Collins case brought in their verdict. "We consider the prisoner guilty of the murder of Arthur Dando, but in consideration of provocation he received we recommend him to mercy of court." The judge said that Avas the only verdict they could have arrived at, but would call their attention to tlie fact that he had,no course open bub one, though he would defer sentence as long as possible and would make representation to the minister of justice of their recommendation. His lordship then directed that prisoner be asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed. Collins made some unintelligible reply.

Buffalo, May 20.���Lowering clouds that carried a threat of rain and a wind that blew in fitful gusts marked the opening hours of dedication day. The rain held off, however, and each hour of respite added to the hopes of the men to whose care the great ceremonies of the day were committed. The holiday crowds were astir early and the earlier trains brought" thousands of recruits to their ranks." The exposition grounds "and business district of the city where tlie military and civic parade formed were the centers that attracted the largest number, while -the streets and avenues connecting the two swarmed with animated crowds. The exposition grounds were opened at S o'clock and the turnstiles have been steadily revolving ever since. Buffalo, May 20.���Director general Buchanan of the Pan-American Exposition Company has received telegrams of congratulation from the governor-General of Canada, president McKinley, the presidents of Hayti, Colombia, Peru, Equador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, the Dominician republic, and the governors of Jamaica and Martinique.

After a few side-steps -it straightened out its anatomy and deftly snatched the sparkler. Becker kept his eye on the thief while his friends went to protest to the management. Emetics were used on the bird, but up to date' the ostrich is grinding grain with the stone. Presbyterian s^iif-SessionT^��� Philadelphia, May 20.��� With today's session the actual work of the Presbyterian general session began. The report of the revision committee has beeu made the special order for Thursday and thereafter until tlie question of revising the confession of faith shall finally be settled. Today's order provided for the report of the standing committee on missions for freedmen, reports of the boards of ministerial relief and education and of a special committeo on judicial commissions.

London, May 20.���According to private cable dispatches from New York, the proposal of the English universities to hold an athletic meeting at Montreal before they meet the Americans in New York is opposed by Harvard and Yale, whose athletes want their meeting with Oxford and Cambridge to occur first.

We aire receiving a continuous stream of complaints that we will court certain defeat by doing the bulk of our preparation iu the vicinity of Now York during the intense heat of August and most of September. Therefore we are seeking more invigorating quarters in Canada. We will complete our Strike Afcermath. Aldany, May 19.���The incidents of this the first day of active operations of all the railway lines affected by the great strike have been few because of the heavy fall of rain. The two men shot byNa- tiohal Guardsmen in defence of life and property were buried this afternoon, but the pouring rain kept away the thousands of sightseers that otherwise would have marked the occasion with their, presence. The departure of the Twenty-third regiment early this morning was the second feature of the day, and striking sermons in many city pulpits aided in closing the incident. . HUM. CAMEM INSURANCE.
