It is a brief dis cussion of this question, and its sub-, di vision, or possible phases, that is intended in this pager. By the ai;ienitai- England, the person in whose.hcrase a fire or iginated, which, afterwards spread to his neighhar's property and destroyed it, must make good-the loss, whether the origination of the fire was xlue to his default or . 'iiegiigence or not This never became the common law of the States of America, however? but p most; if not all, of the-com men law States the rule is, as it was mad- in England in 1707, by statute of 6 Anno, that "no action shall bt ninintaiueu' against any person in whose house or chamber any fire shall accidentally begiu,or any recoin pt'wse be .insula by sncb - pers u fo d:iisage snfftred or occasioned there oy. una tie wovu accntentuliy n: been construed properly to include the negligence of Btrangers. Tiii i statute, though, or rather the com mou law rule indenticdl with it, h:iS not been construed to uppiy to de fendant's negligence, and the liabil ity of a defendant, for the damages sustained by another because of his negligent use of fire depends on the same principles and learning as bis liability for negligence in any other way, or with any other element. It is therefore nncpiestioiiubiy true, if lire is thrown by A's negligence, and fall3 directly on B's property and destroys it, that A is liable in damages. The courts have not, though, an- j swered unanimously the question as 'o A's liability when the fire is not communicated to B's property im mediately by A's negligence, but mediately and through the burning of A's property. Ryan v. Railroad, decided by the Court of Appeals of New York, 1866, had these facts for ils basis, to wit: In the city of Syra cuse, the defendant by careless man agement, or through the insufficient condition of one of its engines, set fire to its woodshed anda large quan ity of wood therein. Plaintiff's house situate at a distance of 130 feet from the shed, took fire from the heat and sparks, notwithstanding diligent ef forts were made to save it. Plaintiff sued to recover damages. The court held that he could not recover, and in the course of its discussion said : "If an engineer upon a steamboat or locomotive, in passing the house of A, so carelessly managed its machin ery that the coals and sparks from its fires fall upon and consume the house of A, the railroad company or steam boat proprietors are liable to paythe value of the property. If, however, the fire communicates from the house of A to that of B and that is destroyed, is the negligent party liable for his loss? And if it spread thence to the house of C, and thence to the house of D, and thence con secutively, through the other houses, until it reaches and consumes the house of Zy is the party liable to pay damages sustained by the twenty four sufferers ? Where is the princi ple upon which A recovers and Z does not?" Finally, in accordance with this argument, the court con cludes that "the remoteness of the damage forms the true rule on which the question should be decided, and which prohibits a recovery by the plaintiff in this case." The Penn sylvania court in Railroad v. Kerr, followed the Ryan case, but the courts of the country generally have not done so.' Indeed the New York court itself, in a case decided in 1872, and in subsequent cases has, to Say the least, not strongly supported the reasoning -in its own earlier decision. The Supreme Court of United States has expressly refused to follow -Ryan's case in Railroad v. Kellogg, aud has," in that case, as it seems to me, laid down the rule : "The primary cause may be the proximate cause of adissater, thpngh it may operate through successive instruments, as an article at the end of a chain may be moved by a force applied to the other end, that force being the prox imate cause of the movement, . or as in the oft cited case of the squib thfown m the market place. (Scott v. Shepherd, 5J.W.' B1.--892.) The question always, is, ?v W asr there -an unhrnVen connection between the wrongful act and the injury a cou tinions operation.?. ::Did ;the facts Constitute a continuous snccession of events, so linked "together as to make a'natural whole, or was there some new and independent eause inter yening between the wrong and the injury ?" . To tW same effect :ls- the HO LIE FIROT: very persuasive Toice of Mr. Cooley,!- who, after, mentioning Ryan's case and Kerr's, case, adds : ' "But a dif ferent view prevails in England and in nioat of the "American States.' The negligent fire is regarded as a unitv ; it reaches: the last building as a direct and pro.ximate result of the'? original t'ghgence," just as a rolling v stone, pnt in-motion down a hill, injuring several persona in successon, inflicts the last injury as a proximate - result of the original force bs directly as it does the first"; though if ifc .ha1 been stopped on the way and started anew by anojther person, a new cause wonld bav& intervened back of which any subsequent injury, could ." not have been foaced. Proximity of cause has no neccessary connect! oiwgffith con tig nity or spaceor or nearness in time Th e s lo w mate h which cau ses an tx plosion after such time and at a con siderable distance jfrom the igni- uon, and the libelous letter which is carried from place to place by differ ence hauds before publication, pro duces uu injurious result which is as proximate to the cause and as direct a sequence as if iu the one case the ei plosion had beeu instantaneous. and in the . other; the author had called his neighbors: together and re.ul to (hem his liUi.' It is hnpofcsibie to resist, by any legal reasoning, I think; this doctrine. It is involved in the most elementary law of negligence, -ar-d indeed in the very definition or the term. Dr. Wharton's definition of negligence is as follows, and it is free from any but hypercritical objection : "Negli gence, in its "civil relations, is snch an iuadyetUnt imperfection, by a responsible human agent, in the dis charge of a legal duty, a3 produces, in an ordinary and natural sequence, a damage to another." That fire will communicate from one house to another, aud thence to another, and tuence again to another, is the "or dinary and natural sequence" of the neglegent acf that sets fire to the first house; and the fact that it is the ordinary and natural sequence is shown in any particular case by the fact that in that particular case it has done that very thing without the intervention of a new causative power. It would seem, therefore, clear on principle, that if A's house is burned by A's negligence, and the fire is communicated to B's house and burns it, and is thence communicated to O's house and burns it, and there has been no independent negligent act, nor"act of God," intervening between the negligence of A and the infliction of the damage, then A is liable to pay the damage done to both B and C. The question asked by the court in Ryan's case, supra, as to what rea son there is for the first sufferer's be ing able to recover and not the last when they are both, damaged by the negligence of the defendant, does not need to be answered until some reason is give, or some principle in voked, to preclude the last sufferer from his action. Of course, this doctrine would riot give a cause of action to any one damaged when he or any other whose duty it was to stay the progress of the flames had, purposely or negligently, failed in that duty. If the fire company, for instance, ought to have prevented the fire's spread from A's property, and did not do sor the further damage suffered as not the proximate result of A's negligent act, but of the in tervening neglect of the fire company. So, if during the fire there arise a wind of extraordinary force, - and it carries the fire to; distances beyond the line of ordinary danger, A will not be liable, for the damage is the proximate result, not - of A's-: negli gence, but of the intervening act of God. These are limitations on the rule enforced by the logic of the rule itself. "Fraud is not purged by circuity, is a maxim, and it is true as well of negligence, or any. other wrongful act. - As-long as the chain of events is found by - triers of the facts to be unbroken and following in ordinary'- and natural: sequence from oue causative act of neglect, that act or neglect is ; the proximate cause of the damage, and- the tort feasor must answer for the damuge, that is suffered anywhere in the chain ; or as has been" recently said by Supreme Court of Kentucky, "if the fire "spreads from the., matter first ignited, the intervention of cosider. able space, or of various physical ob jects, or a diversity of ownership does not preclude recovery by the party insured, " or affect : the : defen dan t's liability - for .-.the: first, negli gent act." ' - -But let us suppose that the prop- erty of A, B and C-JS. " all insured in the same company and through the negligence of -A' all the .houses .are burned, what -.is : the status of the matter so far as the inEurance ,? com - ADROAD NEXT; Highest of all in Leavening Power. pany is interested. In the first place, the negligence of Awould Botbe a defense to the. insurance company in an action brought by either one of the insured on his policy; if the poli cies '"were, of any of the ordinary forms, . Of course, this is true as to the loss o,B and X for ntither their o w,n negilgence Jfior th ei r def au-1 1 had aught to' do wih the loss. ' It is also true as to the loss of AK bee u.se the orJinary contract between the insur ance company and ita policy holder provides for an insurance against any loss by fire except suchas is ex pressly excepted in the conditions aud limitations of the policy, aud los8 arising from the negligence of the insured is not usually among the expressed exceptions. Haying paid, however, the amount of damage due B and C, under their policies, , what would prevent the recovery by the insurance company against A of & sum sufficient to make good the loss; sustained by it in its paymeuts to B andC? Even without the provis ion usual in the standard policy tht the insurer shall be subrogated to ail. the rights and actions that the in sured would have had, the doctrine of subrogation would of itself oper ate to vest in the insurer the cause of action that had been in the in sured, to the amount of the payment on loss by the insurer to the insured. While there is a contract between A and the insurance company that would prevent the recovery by the insurance company from A for dam ages to indemnify it for the loss paid to A himself, this does not apply to the cases of B and C as to their property there is no constractual re lation between A and the insurance company--and there seems to be no reason why even the same insurance company that had insured A and paid him the amount of his loss on his own property could not maintain an action just as could B and C, or an insurance company to which A was a stranger, for the damage that had come to it in the burning of the houses of B and C, as the proximate result of the negligence of A. Against these views there are two arguments made by the New York court in Ryan's case, supra, each of which may be not disrespectfully termed an argumentum ad hominem, rather than legitimate legal reason ing; the first is thus,tated, to-wit: "That the defendant is not liable may be strongly argued from the circumstances that no such action as the present has eyer been sustained in any of the courts of this country, although the occassions for it , have been frequent and pressing." What ever might have been the condition of things; in 1866, when this was written, it is no longer true that "no such has been maintained in any of the courts." Such actions have not been frequently brought, it" is true. Railroads, steamboat lines and mill owners have occassionallyhad to suffer, but the general digest and the American digest show not more than half a dozen cases in half , a dozen years In which individuals not en gaged in one of these vocations have had to make good the loss occasioned by tbeir negligence. Many reasons for the infrequency of such actions suggest themselves, but it cannot be said that they have never been sus tained. ' Littleton's' maxim, "that which never has b-en ought never to be," can no longer be pleaded in bar of the right. - The second argu mentum ad hominem advanced by the court in Ryan's case is thus Utated:.-A mau niay insure his own furniture, but he cannot insure, his neighbor's building or-furniture, for the reason that he has no interest in them. To hold tnat the owner must not only meet his own loss by fire, but that he must guarantee the secur ity of his neighbors on .both - sides and to an unlimited extent, would be to create, a liability .which would be the? destruction of all civilized society." , To this it may be perti nently replied that nobody, since the statute of 6 Anne was passd, in 1707, has contended that a man was the "insurer of the secuT-ty of his neigh bors on both sides and to an unlim ited" extent" When , one - uses the pare that may be reasonably expected from a reasonable man, he is not lia- able to' any action - for . tegligence and it surely is not'destruction to j civilized society" to iold its members S 1 .00 NOVEMBER 13 j-1 - Latest:U. S. Gov't Report -: to that" degree of Care, by. making them liable for the damages thatfol low in ordinary and natural sequence from their reckless disregard: of the rights and property of others. , This, though, suggests a counter remark that, it might be beneficial to, ratber lian; destructive of,-- civil ized society for people to learn prac tically that they aro-liable for ne-li gence in handling fire just as they would be in handling any other thing. There a case.-?, .too f requeut, of property owners who, being 'fully i usured. themselves, are not so caref u 1 as they would otherwise be with the fire on their premises, and are not careful in either their inquiry as to whether the property of their exposed ueighbor is protected even as theirs This is one evil, butit is not so great jts another that might be named: Lne annual aggregate oi nre loss in this -eon n try is so enormous as to be past comprehension. Much of it is covered by insurance, and some peo pie, who regard only their own local ities, wonld be' inclined so Subtract the amount of insurance from the aggregate loss, and call only the bal ance that might be the net loss. This is a mistake ; when an insur ance company pays to the insured a sum of money there has been no creition of value nor increase of wealth, there has been simply a change of ownership of so much money ; but when improvements on realty, or personal property, ia burned there has been an actual decrease of wealth there has been, to all prac tical f purposes, an annihilation of value there has been a devistavit of the assets of the country whether there is insurance to cover the loss or not. It is not unlikely that the an nual fire loss would be materially de creased by the enforcement of the duty of reasonable care in the use of what is, though a neccessary, still a dangerous, agency. With a decreas ing annual fire loss would come de creasing insurance premiums, and this would be a "good diffased, and in diffusion ever more intense." Junius Parker in Albany Law Journal.

At a table d'hote a Marseillais was seated near an old army captain, $"he Marseillais was relating to a third guest his remarkable expe riences in Algeria. "The very even ing of my arrival in Algiers, " he said, "I took a walk on the Constan tino road, and what should I meet in the path but a lion I I put my gun to my shoulder, pressed-the trigger, and, biff I the monster bit the dust The ball had pierced his hoart. " The Old captain glared and fidgeted. The Marseillais went on: "The second evening, when I went for a prome nade on the Oran road, I met anoth er lion sqttare in the path. It was but the work of an instant to put my gun to my shoulder, take delib erate aim and fire. The lion fell dead The ball had gone in between his eyes." . The old captain rose and eyed the bold hunter. "If you kill another lion," he said, "I 'will pull your nose.-". He resumed his seat and his eating. . Tho Marseillais did not ap pear to have heard the captain and went on in the same tone: "The third evening I took the Bone road. I had not gone far when I peroeived an enormous lion coming toward ma Up went my gun. I pulled the trigger: the cap snapped it would not go off.
