PERSONAL INJURY—FALLING OF HATCH COV- ER.—FELLOW SERVANTS—GRAIN-TRIMMER AND SAILOR—LIABILITY OF VESSEL U. S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, 5 Libellant, » workman employed by a con- tractor to assist in trimming grain on the steamship Wells City, was trimming grain under the hatch jn the hold when seamen placed the hatch cover on; while this was be- ing done, libellant stood aside, but afterward resumed work by direction of the mate. Two of the seamen then attempted to spring the hatch eovers together. when one cover slipped and fell upon the libellant, causing injuries for which this suit was brought. Held, that libellant and the sailors were not fellow- servants of the ship owners; that the accident occurred through the negligence of the em— ployees of the skip and without contributory negligence onthe part of the libellant and that the vessel was therefore liabie. Beninict, J. : This action is brought to recover damages for injuries received by the libellant while he was engaged in trimming grain in the hold of the steamship Wells City, through the falling upon him of one of the ship’s hatch covers, ‘ The libellant was a grain trimmer employed .by a contractor to work in trimming the cargo of grain then being loaded on board the steam- ship. At thetime of the accident the trimming was finished all but the leveling off the grain- under the hatch. The spout had been re moved, and asit was raining hard, the ma'e of the ship directed the crew to put on the hatch covers. The mate was at the time in the hold with the libellant, When the placing of the covers in position was commenced warning seems to have been given to the men in the hold, and they stepped out from under the hatch in order to be out of danger. While they were out of the hatch, the covers were all put in position, and thereby the hold was so dark— ened as to indicate to persons below that the covers were in place. Accordingly the mate moticned the libellant that it was time for him to resume work, and the libellant, with others, thereupon stepped back into the hatch, to conclude his work of trimming the grain in the hatchway. After the men had stepped back under the hatch, however, two of the sailors undertook to spring two of the hatch- covers together, the covers having failed to go home when laid down, In doing this, one of the men lifted one of the covers and the other lifted the other, and placed their edges together. Each cover weighed about seventy pounds and they were very greasy at the time, owing to the dampened dust arising from the grain. While the covers were thus being sprung together one of them slipped and fell into the hold below, striking the li- bellant and causing the injuries for which he now sues. Several points are made on the part of the defence. One is that the Jibellant was at the time of the accident the servant of the claim-| ant, engaged in a common employment with the sailers who undertook to place the cover in positien, and therefore cannot recover for negligence of a fellow servant. Upon this point my opinion is that the relation of a fellow servant did not exist between the libel- lant and the mate who directed the placing of the covers, or between the libellant and the seamen who were engrged in handling the covers at the time the cover fell. Next it is contended that the libellant’s in— juries are attributable to his own carelessness, because he resumed work under the hatch be fore the adjustment of the hatch covers was completed. But when the hatch covers were placed in position so as to exclude the light from those below, the libellant, in absence of notice to the contrary, was entitled to assume that the adjustment of the hatch covers had been completed, and especially so when the hatch covers, indicated to him that it was time for him to resume his work in the hatch. In my opinion, the libellant was not guilty of negligence in being under the hatch under the circumstances. Third, it is contended on the part of the claimant that it was not shown that the falling of the hatch was caused by negligence. Upon this point my opinion is also adyerse to the claimant. The evidence, as I understand it, shows negligence in the performance of the ship’s work of putting on the hatch covers. The negligence consisted in attempting lol handle the cover by a single man instead of by two. The cover wus greasy and liable to slip, and in case of any slip it would be im- possible for a single man to hold it, weighing as it did some seventy pounds. [t was, in my | | voliti lant with a reference to ascertain the amount of the damage sustained. February 8, 1889, TREASURY DECISIONS. FREE ENTRY—AMERICAN DREDGE REPAIRED ABROAD—REFUSED. Treasory Department, April 17, 1889. Srm: The department is in receipt of your letter of the 11th instant in which you request instructions in relation to a certain dredge of domestic manufacture which the owners pro- pose to import into your district. The dredge in question was the subject of the department’s letter of February 21 last, to the collector of customs at Oswego, in which that officer was instructed to admit to free en~ try if satisfied that it was of domestic manufac: ture and returned in substantially the same condition as exported. : it appears, however, from your letter that {the dredge has been in foreign waters for about four years, and that during that time repairs to the amount of $250 have been made on it, and an improyementin the form of an apparatus for hoisting anchors, costing $250 has been placed upon it, and you inquire if you can accept duty on the cost of such re- pairs and improvements, or whether the dredge, as an entirety, is dutiable on account of such repairs and improvements, In reply, I have to inform you that the pro- vision in section 3114 imposingduty on equip ments purchased of the expense of repairs made in foreign countries applies only to “vessels enrolled and licensed under the laws of the United States to engage in the foreign and coasting trade on the northern, northeast- ern and northwestern frontiers of the United States, or a vessel intended to be employed in such trade,’’ and there is no other provision of law imposing duty on the cost of repairs or equipments independently of the vessel or article repaired. The improyement added tothe dredge in the form of a hoisting apparatus serves to de- prive it of the privilege of free entry as a do- niestic manufacture returned in the same con- dition as exported, as such improvement- appears to constitute a substantial and im- portant change in its condition, It will, theretore, be liable to duty as an entirety, unless the hoisting apparatus is de tached, in which case the dredge may be ad— j mitted to free entry under the department’s instructions of February 21st.

SIZE OF HOLES TO BE DRILLED IN BOILERS THN YEARS AND UPWARDS, TO DETERMINE THICKNESS, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 27, 1889, Sir; The department is in receipt of your letter of the 23d instant inelosing a protest signed by yourself and other steam vessel own- ers at Chicago, avainst the enforcement of that part of section 1, rule 2, ss amended at the recent session of the board of supervisi: g in- spectors of steam vessels, which r-quires “any boiler having been in use ten years or more, shall ateach annual inspection thereafter, be drilled at points near the water line and at the hottom of shell of boiler, or such other points us the local inspectors may direct, to determine the thickness at these points, aud the general con- dition of such boiler or boilers at the time of such inspee ion, and tke thickness of said ma- terial shall be determiued thereafter at each an nual inspection, and the steam pressure allowed shall be governed by such ascer.ained thickness and general condition of the boiler,’? and you ask that the mundatery part of this rule be re- pea'ed and the matter left in the discretiou of the | eal inspectors. Your letter and protest having been referred to the supervising inspector yeneral of steam vessels, that officer reports that tue rule to which objection 1s made is really in the interests of the steamboat owner, and was so cousidered by the board when it was adepted. He says it became necessary for the bourd to adopt some uniform rule to determine the standard of old boilers, regarding the steam pressure to be allowed, the question having been brought to its attention through the explosion of the boiler and the loss of the steamer A, W, Lawrence, when vear Mil- waukee, op Lake Michigan, with the loss of life of the waster, engineer, and two others of her crew. An investigation of this case, so far as was possible, the steamer Laving gone to the bottom of the lake, disclosed the fact that, not- withstanding the boiler was aged, no measure- ment of its shel! thickness had been obsained since 1882, five years previously, which fact de- termined in the winds of the supervising inspee- tors the nevessity of a mandatury*rile ‘yovern- ing such eases the responsibility being tuo great for the local iuspecior tv take upon his own on, unless su, ported by # higher authoriry. board bad two courses open to secure the O.e was to adopt a standard of Tue end desired, opinion, negligencs fof one at jd . | depreciation for ail boilers when they reach a tampt ta,bandlle phe corse he othe * certa.n age, the other the rule that was finatly home under such circumstances, and especially pre aud ‘o which your j rotest applies. The was it negligence to do so without warning to ovjection to the first method arises from the fact the men in the hatch, after the covers had been once laid down in such a position as to indie:te to the men below that the covers were in place ‘he libellant instead of being warned was, in legal effect, notified by the mate that the covers were in place. Under such circumstances I think it must be held that negligence onthe part of the ship has of the eccentricity of boiler depreciation, it be- ing an established fact that sume boilers built cf the best muterial and of superior workmanship last but four or five years, while others, vo better apparently in any respect, are in good order at twenty and even thirty years of age. Therefore the injustice of a staudard of depreciat‘on, ac- cordwy to age, while in the sule adepted by the been shown, and under the principles atated in | ioard each boiler is allowed etean pressure in the case the Kate Cann, 2nd Fed. Rep. p 24], affirmed by the Circuit Court, 8th Fed. Rep. p- 719, the libellant is entitled to recover his damages of the vessel herself. Let there be a decree in favor of the libe accordance with’ its actual yalue, the holes drilled to determine thickness having uo ay- preciable « ffect in weakening the boiler.

A rousing and large meeting of the board of trade was held at noon last Thureday Mr, C B Lockwood, the chairman of the com mittee on committee presented the follow- report: “Your committee recommends that the stand ing committee on lake. harbor and public im provements be changed to lake and harbor improvements, and that the committee on statistics be changed to statistics and publica- tion, and that the following commitiee be added to the list: A committee on public im- provements of twenty-five, on public order of five, on strikes and arbitration of five, on mann- facturers and promotion of trade of nine, on telegraph and postal facilities of five, on in “« and banking facilities of seven, and when the committees are appointed a list of all the com- mittees be printed and a copy be sent to each member of the board; that the committee om public improvements and the committee on manufactures and promotion of trade shalk hold a joint meeting monthly at the board of ; trade rooms for consultation upon such mat: ters as may be presented for consideration.” D. B Lockwood and G. W. Lewis were ap- 4 pointed a committee to confer with the chair } and appoint the committees in question for the consideration of the board. President Edwards then read the following communication: if Wes? Stpertor, WIs., May 9, 1889. A. J. Beygs, Secreiary Beard of trade, Cleve- land, O.—Dear Sir: The condition of the lakes this season ought to inspire further concerted action on the part of the lake people in th» diree- tion of stitriog up our government to more liberal appropriations for harbor improvements. Will you please subm t to your board of directors the question of the advisability of calling ac nven- tion of represevtative wen from the various com- mercial bodies on the lakes and in the north- west to forward such work? An early answer will oblige, yours truly, — W.! Seeretary of Chanber of Commerce.’ The letter was discussed 0 t the following resolutions were final; “Resolved by this buard that it wil cooperate with the West Superior chamber of commerce in the movement for a couventi 2 West Superior chamber of commerce. “Resolved, that the board hereby, in connec. tion with the avtion taken for cooperation in the — movement for a eonvention, des most emphati- — cally protest against any obstruction of this ~ waterway by the bridying of the Detroit river or of these counected waters at any other poins —and it desires that such a convention sball oppose by all preper means such a conte y~ plated injury to this waterwav, It belongs to the whole people, und no portion of its advaa- tages should be abridged tn the interest of indi- viduals or corporations,” The matter will be in the hands of the com- miitee on lake and harbor improvements, of which Mr. George H. Ely, who drafted the foregoing resolutions, is the chairman. As the resolutions indicate, Cleveland favors giving attention to the great waterway and letting local harbor improvements come in asa secon- dary consideration. The committee intends communicating with Duluth, Chicago, Buffalo and other chambers of commerce and having the convention an all around affair to be bene- fited by the wisdom of all the chambers ot An effort will pe made to have it commerce, held here, RAPID WORK, As indicating the speed with which work is being executed at Messrs, J. Richardson & Sons’ marine engine works, Hartlepool, we may notice the following: The steamship Khbio was launched atthe shipbuilding yard of Messrs. E. Withy & Co., on Friday last, at 5 p. m., and went into Victoria dock that evening to receive her engines. She was tuken in hand by Messrs. Richardson’s staff, and although no work was done on Saturday afternoon, nor on Sunday, her machinery was tested under steam to the satisfaction of Lloyd’s inspector on Thursday atll a. m The total time occupied was thus only 3} days: aremarkable result, considering the size of the engines, and one which speaks well of the facilities for dispatch at Messrs. Richardson’s works, The Khio is fitted with triple expan- sion engines on three cranks, the cylinders being 22 inches, 37 inches, and 61 inches in diameter respectively, with a stroke of 3 feet 3 inches. She has two large boilers designed to work at 160 pounds per square inch, A further instance of quick dispatch is that of a double throw built steel crank shaft for the steamship Lemura, of 150 horee power. The order for this shaft was received on Saturday morning, and although no work was done on Saturday afvernoon nor on Sunday, the shaft was forged from the ingot, finished complete with keyways cut, and sent off on Thursday
