HE place where news of the over- due fleet could be obtained is a spot the underwriters would like to lo- cate. Many of the coasters are away behind and a number of the deep-water ships are being reinsured. Three of the vessels relleved the hearts of their owners by putting in an appear- ance off the Heads yesterday morning. They were the British ships Montgomery- shire, the Duchalburn from Newcastle, Australia, and the American bark Pru fa from Puget Sound. The latter was days getting here from Port while the Montgomeryshire wa -three and the Duchalburn six! eight days coming from Australia. Cap- tain Edwards of the Montgomeryshire must pay for_a dinner on account of his long run. When the Montgomeryshire and Duchalburn were lying in port at Newcastle he “bet the dinner” with Cap- tain Forbes that he would beat him five days into San Francisco. Instead, both vessels came in together. Both vessels made ordinary passages, while the Pr sia had nothing but head winds and cr scas to contend withwll the way down. STEAMERS LOOKED FOR. Rainier and Mnndu.lly Should Have Made Port Several Days Ago. The steam schooner Rainler is now out ceven days from Seattle, while the Man- dalay has not been heard from since she for Coquille River. The chances are that the Rainier has been detained by the heavy weather that has prevailed along the coast, while the Mandalay may be in Coquille River. The wires are all down between here and Oregon and it has been impossible to either telephone or telegraph from Grays Harbor or Coquille River. The chances are therefore that the Mandalay is bar- bound and that the Rainler is in Clallam Bay walting for a chance to get out. —_—- Sailing of the Grant.

HOME STUDY CIRCLE FOR CALL READERS Law Lessons for Employers and Em- ployes, Making Plain Who Are Fellow Servants. Copyright, 1801, b ¥ Seymour Eaton. . XIV. In the first of this series of papers it was stated that a servant assumed the risks of injury from other servants who were engaged in the same common em- | ployment. In other words, if a servant was injured through the negligence of an- other servant employed in the same way he could not turn to his employer for re- dress, but to the servant who had caused the injury. A man may be compe- tent yet negligent. We also set forth that it was the duty of the employer to pro- vide competent servants, safe tools, ma- chinery, places of work and also to give instructions whenever the quired. If he were neglectful in these matters he was liable to a servant who was injured through the negligence of an- other. Thus if an employer hired an in- competent engineer to run a train he | would be responsible to a conductor who was injured through his unskillful man- agement of his engine, unless the con- ductor knew he was incompetent and con- " he did not know, then the employer would be liable for the consequences of employing such a man or of retaining him after his incom- petency was found out. On the other hand, if the engineer were competent at the time of employing him and through his negligence the conductor should be injured, in many would have no claim against the employ- er, for the risk of the engineer’s negli- gence was assumed by him when he agreed to conduct the train. ossibly some reader may not see clear- ly the difference between the two cases. An engineer may be competent and vet do a negligent thing; if he does. the con- | ductor assumes this risk and bears the | consequences. An engineer may be incom- | petent, and if he is the conductor does not assumse the , and if he is injured can 100K to his emplover for redress. Bays Mr. Justice Danforth of the New York Court of Appeals: “It i3 no doubt settled that an émploye of a raiflroad company takes the natural risks of his employment, and amopg others the risk of injury re- sulting from the negligence of his fellow servants. This rule, however, has no ap- plication if the company has at the same time disregarded its obligation to provide either.a suitable roadbed or engineer, cars or other necessary appointments of the railroad, so that the injury is not entirely | caused by the negligence of the other fei- but, in part at least. is the in such a case the negligence of the co-servant will not exonerate the company from the consequences of its own defau In the case above supposed the negiigence of the company would consist in hiring the in- competent engineer, and in doing so the company would be liable for the conse- quences of his conduct. Suppose, however, he were competent but was given a very imperfect engine to run. If he knew that it was imperfect and dangerous and ac- cepted the ‘msniml he would assume the but if the conductor was in- jured by using such an engine he could recover from the company, because it is its duty to furnish proper tools, appli- ances, ete. If they are not of this char- | acter those who use them. knowing what | they are, assume the risk of doing so; but thosé who do not know, as the con- ductor in the case just supposed, do not | assume the risk of the defective engine, | and the company, so far as it is con- cerned, is negligent in using it and must make their losses good. The fireman in low servant, | such a_case would probably assume the | same risk as the engineer, for he would | probably know as much about the engine; consequently if he were injured he could get nothing; but the conductor, though a fellow servant, could recover because he does not assume the risks of negligence of the company itself, and the known use by the company of a defective engine is one of them. Who Work in the Same Common Employment? Keeping this rule in mind that the em- ploye is always liable for his own negli- even gence, either when he is acting alone or | with a servant, we remark that an em- ployer is also liable to his servants in all cases where one is injured through the negligence of another who is not working in the same common employment. For | example, If a carpenter in a railroad shop | were injured through the negligence of an engineer while riding on a train that wa carrying employes engaged in making r pairs, he would not be regarded as a fel- low-servant of the engineer and would | have a good case against the company. Who, then, are fellow-servants, and not | entitled to recover from their employers except in those cases in which the latter themselves are negligent in not employing | competent men, suitable appliances, etc and who are not fellow-servants and e titled to look for redress to their employ- rs whenever they are injured through the ed into two parts: ification of employes, the otber to their relative position of mere laborer | or superintendent. The first part will now be considered. Difficulty in Applying the Rule. 1t may be remarked that when this rule was first declared by Lord Abinger in tion is div | Great Britain and by the courts In this country no one ever dreamed that its ap- plication would be o difficult. In truth, no other legal rule has ever given rise to | g0 many contradictory decisions. Are the engineer and conductor of a train fellow servants? If they are, neither can recover of their commen employer for an injury caused by the other. If they are not fel- low-servants the rule is otherwise. in| some States they are held to be follow- servants, in some they are not. Who Are Fellow-Servants in Vir- ginia? Who, then, are in the same common em- ploymeént? The Supreme Court of Vir- ginla answers the question in this man- ner: “The fellow-servant or co-employe for whose negligence the company is not liable is one who is in the same common employment—that is, in the same shop or place with and having no authority over the one injured—and who is no more charged with the discretionary exercises of powers and duties imperatively resting | upon the works than the injured party but where a person is placed in charge of the construction or repair of machinery, the dispatching of trains, the maintenancs of ways, ete., Be is not a fellow-servan: with those under him, nor with those in a different department of the service.” In| nother case the same court remarked: ‘They - are co-employes, engaged in the same deparyment of service, who are thrown together in the perrarnunce of a common duty and havin; rtunity to observe and judge of the Inbllny and qualifications of each other.” ‘Who Are Fellow-Servants in Illinois? In Illinois the Supreme Court in a re- cent decision has made another attempt to define fellow-service: * The servants > the same master, to be co-emploves, as'to exempt the masier from Hability on account of injuries sustained by one re- sulting from the negligence of the other. shall directly co-operating with each otler in a particular buairiess: that is. e line of emvloyment, or that thelr usual duties shall bring them ints habitual association, so that they onl exercise a mutualinfluence upon eac other promotive of oper caution. Thas idea is that the relations between the servants must be such that each as to the other, by the exercise of ordin cau- tion, can either ent or remedy the ligent acts of the other or protect him- self agalnst its consequences, and, of course, where there is no right or no op- rortunlty of supervision, or where thers s no_independent w:ll, ‘and no right to take measures to avoid the negligent acts of another without disobedience to the orders of his immediate superior, the doc- trine can have no application.” This is one of the most elaborate state- ments or attempts to defilne common em- rloyefl that has been made. The subject s one of the greatest difficulty because re $0 numerous and fit so closely Had Lord Abinger been fned with prescience or seen even £0 imly the wonderful mumplyln ployments growing out of the of machinery and the use of haps he would have paused or a employments timated his irability (o deal subject in a satisfactory manner, Some glimpse of the tness of his fallure will -pvu.r fro ecisions that will now t e given; a still stron, f s the I ilhuon in Great fiufl" and nany occasion re- | States he | | States to relieve in vart at least the diffi- | culties into which the courts have falien | in applying this famous rule. Is a Conductor a Fellow-Servant? Let us begin with the case of a con- ductor. Is he a.fellow-servant of the brakeman or of the trainmen with him? This is the in fornia. quently, if one is injured by the gence of the oth not ook to the law it has not 1 man can- ¢ for in ard him. If an outsider were mmrv- “by his negli- gence the rule would be different; the neg- ligence of the employer would be regarded as the negligence of the company. In one of the California cases the court said that “‘a laborer, a trackworker and a conductor were all fellow-servants.” In Wisconsin it was first decided in 1553 that an engin akeman of a train were fellow-servants: thre ars after- ward the court decided they were not. The Judges In the last case disagreed; some of them were not members of the court when the first case was tried, but two of them were members, and one of these changed his opinion. Finally the | court changed its opinion again and re- | turned to its original rule. In New York, lilinois and many other States the rule first declared by the Su- preme Court of Wisconsin prevails. But it aoes not evervwhere. In the famous case of Farwell vs. the Boston and Wor- cester Railroad, which was one of the earliest in this country deciding the great question that an empfoyer was not liable | to an employe for an injury caused by | the negligence of mnother employe, an | engineer was injured by the careles {of a switch tender. Both were | fellow-employes, engaged in common service, and consequently | gineer could recover nothing rmm his em- ployer. In Ohio a railroad track repairer was in- jured by the negligence of an engineer; the injured man claimed that they were not engaged in the same common service. The court thought otherwise. The Court of Appeals of New York had decided the fon not long before in the same man The reason for these decisions was that the departmentsof duty occupled by both were alike, necessary and indis- pensable for carrying on the primary ob- Ject zl the mmf -namely, the speedy and $afe carrylng of passengers and freight over the road, Car Inspectors and Brakemen. There has been more difficulty over the question of car inspectors and brakemen. In Indlana they are not regarded as fel- low-servanty. In Pennsylvania the court held differes “We are clearly of opin- ion,” says the court, “‘that a brakeman and a car inspector are in the sanfe circle | of appointment; they co-operate in the same business, and the former knows that the employment of the latter is one of the incidents of their common service.” Ohio chimes in with this rule, but kicks against the rule prevailing almost every- where that a brakeman and conductor on the same train are fellow-servants. In like manner the courts have decided on the question of a car dispatcher and the operatives on a train. In most States, however, the courts hold that they are not fellow servants. One of the cases in which the court considered the question at great length arose in Connecticut. The court remarked that the train dispatcher was supreme. The whole power of the corpg- ration, whose duty it was to move the train, was delegated to him. He acted in its name, by its authority and in its stead. The engineer was bound to obey his order. An engineer of the company recefved an order and he obeyed. He did not know the consequence, but the company did, or should have known. In executing the order he was Injured. ‘“Reason, justice and law require that the company should be held responsible. ALBERT 8. BOLLES, Haverford Collegc HOME flUDY QUERIES. 179.
