Conclusion of tho Examination in the Joliot Iron and Steel Com- pany’s Case. Decision Conoerning the Liability of Tug-Boats, Miscellancous Business. TEE JOLIET INON & BTERL COMPANY, The oxamiuation in tho Joliot Iron & Stocl Qompany was closed yostorday. Tho Prosident, A. B. Meokor, the Tronsuror, J. H. Wronn, and the bookkaeeper wera the only persons oxaminad. The testimony of tho tWwo former officors Lins alroady boon published, and tho xesult of tho oxamination of the bookkeopor failed ‘to show auy dishonest prococdings on tho port of the Company., Tho oxamiuation, ne slated in the afMdavit, was busod on tho charge that tho books had boen falsified and tho nssots disstpated, but thoraugh examiuntion of tho baoks and oflicors showed thnt tho books and affairs of tho Com- pany woro in a perfeatly satisfnotory conditton, 8 faras noy fraud was concorned, The testi- mony showed that about 5,000 had boon pald out of tho assots of tho Comvany since the com- mencoment of the proceadings in_bankruptoy, but that this amount was all paid out undor advice of counsol, and was mostly oo bohalf of laborers and moclinnles, or to pay intorest, taxes, or routs, to preserve tho proporty of the Company. About two months ago tho UomPnny made of- fera of settlamont by glving proferrod stock at par in full for the claims. About 85 per cont of tha croditors agrood to such an arrangomont. Dlnkol{, tho potitioning oreditor, waa ona of tha committeo who instituted tho pm{wsud Botilo- mont, but, bofors it was qulte completed, Lo flod a potltion in banteruptoy, and tho nogotlation has baen suddenly stopped, at lonst for the prosont. As tho oxamination has shown n correct aud hon- cut stato of affairs, it ia not improbable that the Company may bo able to extricato ituelf from its prosont diffioultios. THE LIADILITY OF TUO-DOATH. A caeo was triod (Tucedny boforo Judge Mew Roborty which contaiuad an futerosting declsion rospocting tho liability of tug-boats in rogard to collision, Tho oaso wes brought by Terenco Whitnoy agatnst Samuel . Donaldeon, Robert Donaldson, and Oliver Donaldson, ownors of & tug-bont uamed E. VanDaluon, to racovor dsm- agos caused by thia nogliganca of tho Captain of tho tug, The plaintiff states that on tho 24th of April, 08 he was crossiug the Twolfth straot bridge, {ho tug was towing & propeller on “tho river, which struck tho bridge with such violonoo as to knock him, together with tho horses and buggy, off the bridgo to the ground bolow, distance of 16 or 20 feot. He allegos ho was goriously injured thoroby, and claims $10,000 dsmuages for the accident, Tho tral occupied about two days, and a numbor of witnossos woro called and depositions read. Tho deposition of tho cngincer of tho tug, on bobalf of the dofondants, was that the tow, the propeller 8. D, Caldwoll, was run_ partly by bLor own steam power, and usod tho tug privcipally to nesist her in turn ing sborp corvers, and keoping Lor to windward, The tug ‘was on tho starbonrd bow of tho propeller, puiling her south up the rivor. ‘When thoy neared the bridge, the tnfi gave si;i- nals to tho propellor to stop, and, if the Caldwoll Lbad used her full powor, sho conld have stopped. 1t i8 oustomary to have two tuga when o prupal- lor is towed up thoe river without steam on. “'ho Captain of the propoilor testified that he ouly had euough sloam on to bo rendy to oboy nny sigusls tho Captain of the tug might mako, and not onough to propel the boat at all. Ho did not psy any attention to the proximity of the bridge, leaving tho whole mattor to the Captaln of tho tug. ‘The day was vory dusty, tho wind blowing hard, snd tho witnosa did not pee the bridge until when very near it. Tho tug gave no signals, and kopt on pulliny oven after tho propeller struck tho bridge an Funlmd it open, but the Captain of tho propotlor Lioy sucacoded in bringing bor to n_full lop. The evidonco was decidodly contradiolory, tie tug and propelior endeavoring to loy tho blama on each other. It waa charged, on behalf of tho Sln(n(lfl'. that if tho action of tho tug ceatributed "naturally ta cauge the collivion, tho defondants, hor owners, must be hold respousible; that the nogligence of the propelloer, even though it contrivuted to tho acoidout, furnished po oxcuso for tho lug. If tho negligonco of sthe fug wss such that tho accident could not have happoned but for her sssistance, the plaintiff should have o verdict. Custom did not juslify personsin doing what wae mnuuosthv dnngorous to life or property, It the signal hind beon givon on the bridge for stopping boats, 8o that tho bonts could seo it, and thio tug still continued to move on, bringing the tug in dangerous proximity to the bridgo, o tha tit wae appareutly doubtful whetber she could stop, and making no effort to slop her, then tho plaintift should recoive a verdict, no matter what the custom waa, On bohnlf of tho dofendant, the jury was charged that tho master of a tow who lisd oon- trol of the motive power of his vossol, socing danger of collision shead, Was bound to stop at auco, and othorwiso bo also would be liable for damages. Although o stoam-tug might bo tow- ing ar asafeting a propeller, it tho latter had control of her own movemonts, she would be linble for damago ocensionod by hor collision, if it might by caro have been avolded. A tug would not bo linble for daninges done by vossols in their tow, whethor Inshed alongside or drawn Dy huwsers, unloss the injury was owing to want of caro or skill on bohalf of the tug in perform~ ing hor duties, If tho jury believed from the evidence that the propellor bad steam up whilo in tow of the tug, and that tho former could lave stopped hersolf beforo sho reached tho bridge, and that the accident was not attributa- bla to the tug, then tho verdict must bo for thoe defendanta, The jury wore out until 11 o’clook Tuesday night, and yesterday morning brought in s vor- diet for the dofendant. i A BAD 0ASE, William Law, Jr., & lawyer of this city, filad & patition asking that tho question of tho {nsanity of his wifo be ‘imquirod of by & juy. .
