Davis has just! cut down in Union street a 80-foot lo-{ cust tree whose decayed condition at the base of tire trunk made jt dangers ous to stand any longer, although the top of the tree wag in fite comdition. About ten years ago the trec was gi dled by ropes, put arousd it in ing a house on Union street, and been decaying ever since. Forester Davis places the tree's age| at a little over 50 years, and says it is one that eprang from seeds scattered from the original locust tree in the; city on Church street, which was| planted from seed brought here from Fgypt by o sea captain. The old sea-| faring man brought three locust( beans here and planted them, from which hate sprung all the trees of this variety in the city, the sceds from the first tree having been scat- {tered in various ways. Locust wood resists decay for a long time and for that reason makes fine hitching posts fo sct in the ground, Mr. Davis says, as he has known of posts to stand for over a score of years, The tree he has just cut down was in front of 83 Union street and yielded about two cords of wood.

Donohue in | the claim in the case of the late Gene- | vieve Saunders, an emplove of the| ew England Collapsible Tube Co, at New Laondon, in which the judge sus- tains the appeal and sets aside Com- missioner Donohue’s award to parents of Miss Saunders. Judge Reed findls there is nothing in the ev- idence to sustain the commissioners finding that Miss Saunders received her fatal injuries while in the course of ber employment. The young woman, who was 13, had her head crushed in an elevator in the tube company’s Waller street factory in New London on Oct. 24, 1818, and! died threc dayg later. Her parents.

But where there is no evidence to show that the accident in question arose out of and in the course of the employment, a finding of the .indus- trial board should be quashed.” According to the commissioner's statement of facts in his finding and memorandum, there was gbsolutely no evidence from which he ceuld find that the accident arose out of the employment. The commissioner ays (pages & and 4 of the finding) “and although it found that no person saw the acc dent and it is not definitely known for Just what purpose she left her work and went over to the elevator on thi particular occasion, still the fact re- mains that she did o, and while lanks ing into the shaft, presumably to sce where the elevator was, she was fa- injured.

For reasons stated above, which are more f1 considered in the memorandum attached, it is found that said injuries arose out of and in the course of decedent’s employment. !
