THE DEFENDANT'S CONTENTION
Declares That His Agents Entirely
Revised and Corrected Mr. Mulley's
Directory Argulltf for an Injunc
tion to Restrain an Alleged Infringe
ment ot a Patent New Trial A d
for in the Ruddy Insurance Case.
The jury in the case of 11 E Leonard
and Patrick Mulherin against the
Equity Improvement company, brought
in h verdict yesterday morning to the
effect thut the United States Circuit
court for the western district of Penn
sylvania had no jurisdiction in the
matter.
Ambrose Mulley nasinst J. E. Wll
liaius, proprietor of Williams' Soranton
City directory for infringement of
copyright, was the next oise called.
Attorneys & B. Price and II M. Han
tilth represented Mr Mulloy uu l At
torney E. H. Uisley of Utlca, N. Y ,
and Attorney C. fc. Wool ruff of this
city, Mr. Williams.
In 1st;, Mr. Mulloy had copyrighted
a book called "Mulley's Scranton Street
Directory and City Quids," feature
of which was a street directory show -iug
the looation and length of the
streets of the city. The hook was
published in ISSti
In 1887 Mr. Mulley entered into an
nitieeiuent by whioh Mr. Williams was
permitted to uie his street direction in
the Williams City directory of that
year. It is alleged that every year
since then the street directory has been
i feature of Mr. Williams' city direc
tory and that it has been used without
Mr Mulley's consent. To recover dam
ages for that infringement the suit was
brought
what DBFBMDAOT CLAIMS.
It is contended ou the pirt of Mr.
Williams that when he in I Mr. Mul
ley's street directory in 1S7 he discov
ered a uuutber of errors and the follow
ing year he had it entirely revised and
corrected from information obtained
by agents appointed by him. He
thereafter considered that it was his
property.
When the case was called counsel for
the defense asked that the plaintiff's
declaration bo dismissed. When the
l.iintiff rested, defendants asked for
a nou suit, but both motions were re
fused. An effort to get binding in
structions for the jury also failed.
At 4 o'clock p. to. the case went to
the jury on the charge of Julge Buff
ington after arnguieuts had 0'en made
by Attorneys RUley and Price. The
jury an hour later returned a verdict
to the effect that Mr Williams had in
fringed on M.-. Mulley's cooyiigh;
and that he should piy him w oompea
nation therefor the sum of $100.67. Mr.
Riley, counsel for Mr. Williams, at
once gave notice that he wonld file
ronsous for a new trial within teu days.
THAT INJUNCTION CASE.
After the Miller case wen', to the
jurv argument was heard on the appli
cation for an injunction by William
Kellogg to prevent V, W. Burcaw, of
Hazleton. from infringiogou a weather
strip, of which Mr. Kellogg is the
patentee. The defetidaut claims that
his idea is such an improvement on the
Kellogg strip as is allowed by law.
Attorneys Hulslauder and Vosburg ap
peared for the complainant and Attor
ney W. S. Diehl for Mr. Burcaw. After
listeniug to the arguments Judge Buf
fington took the papers and reversed
hi decision.
Immediately afterward a new trial
was argued for in the case of Tnomas
Ruddy, executor of Francis J. Ruddy,
deceased against the Michigan Mutual
Life Insurance compnny. .Mr. Ruddy
sued to recover $o,0W which he said
was due on a life insurance policy held
by Francis J. Ruddy. The case was
tried a year ago before Judge Bnffliijr
ton and a verdict returned in favor of
the company, which alleged that the
policy was obtained by falso representa
tions. Ex-Judge W. H. Stanton nrgued for
a new trial yesterday afternoon and
Major Everett Warren and Attorney
George M. Watson oppoied tin mo
tion. The session of the court will close
today.
AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS.
An Eff.irt Mad to Recover Prtpjrtjr Al
leged to Have Been Sold.
The case of Richard Rhnle, adminis
trator of the estate of Richard Rhnle,
deceased, against W. II. Davenpurl ,
was heard before arbitrators Fred W.
Kleitz, J. W. Browning and Fred R
Stark yesterday and an award of no
cause of action retnrned.
About eighteen yeais ago it was nl
leged that W. H. Davenport gave to
his father-in-law,. Richard Rhule, a
bill of sale for the farm implements
and stock on a farm nt Taylor worked
by Davenport. The property was
valned at about $3,000.
It continued to remain in the posses
sion of Davenport during the lifetime
of Mr. Rhule. After his death his son,
who is also his administrator, demand
ed that Davenport turn ever the prop
erty mentioned in the bill of sale or
the valne thereof. Davenport refused
and the action wns broaght.
Attorneys Ilulslander and V M'.mr.;
appeared yesterday at tin hearing for
Mr. Rhnle and Attorneys George S.
Horn and John M. Harris for Mr. Dav
enport. The arbitrators took the ground that
if the oi ler Rhule had a vested claim
to the property he wonld not bava al
lowed eighteen years to elaps without
making an eff iff to enforce bis right.

ported That His Wife's Conduct

left breast about till! o'clock lust night
and will probably die. lie is 25 years
of age. married and employed as fore
man ut tho Delaware, Lackawanna
ami Western freight depot.
He came home for Hiip,ev slightly in
toxicated and was chided by his wife.
Both entered their bed room where
Schoonover whipped a revolver from
his pocket and pointed it at his wife,
threatening to Blioot her. Sb ran from
the room, and after about live minutes
had elapsed a shot was heard. The

man, his inclinations in thut direction
only extending to an occasional glass
of beer, uud his friends are at a loss to

Up to a week ago Mr. and Mrs.
Schoonover lived in Pine Brook, at the
corner of Penn avenue and Aeh street.
They left to reside with Mrs Schoon
over's parents on the West Side, where

that the change of resldinot was du
to some domestic nn pleasantness, woich

tragedy. Mrs. Boboonovet is a girl in
years and quite pretty.
Schoonover is a special policeman
and in that capacity probibly carried
the revolver with which he committed
iast night's deed. List summer he shot
and slightly wounded a man named
Soanlon while trying to arrest him for
disturbing the peuce. Scaulon caused
hclioonover's arrest and the case is now
pending in court,

ful accident yesterday forenoon. He
hud been endeavoring to bar down a
loose piece of bone rock, but was un
successful. Thiuking the rock solid, he
commenced to work under it, when it
fell, striking him across the buck,
breaking three ribs and injuring his
spine. The piece of rock was about
three inches thick ami two feet square.
Had it struck him on the head it would
undoubtedly have killed him instantly.
Mr. McAndrew is a young unmarried
man, nnd lives with his mother at

feel disposed to attend,
A meeting of tho council was culled
lor luesdiy evening for the purpose
of furthering the Sixth ward sewer
subject ; but a quorum could not b su
cured,
The Patrick Henry club should
caution its members against using such
damaging language while they are in
the citizens part of the council room.
Last Mondny night the visitors were
treated to a string of sotto voce impre
cations too disgraceful to mention, that
were hurled at a councilman whom
tliev nseisted to elect. He was called
all the vile names imaginable baca ise
he was, iu their estimation, breaking
his pledge, where, in fact, he was only
voting jnstly and conscientioutly.
The following prozrarame was ren
dered at the Epworth leagu) meeting
on 1 ilesday night: Slugiu, HtSirS

ami .Mr. lirver. men came tne open
ing of tho qustion box which contained
queries too numerous to enumerate. It
was decided unanimously that health
was the greatest blessing outside of re
ligion.
The friends of Borough Clerk C P.
Savage seem determined that he shall
hold the office during the ensuing year.
His enemies, or rather the Patrick
Henry club, are equally determined
that tie shall not handle the borough
documents. Mr Irwin, whom they
wish to appoint in Mr. Savages plac
is a member of the ring, and as the
councilman are pledged to elect him it
is supposed that war will be waged
fiercely lor m my moons to come. In
the positiou of borough clerk Mr, Sv
age has proved himself invaluable to
all interests, and bis abilities are not
questioned even by tne counciltnen who
wish to depose Mm In fact it is plain
to bo seen that if it were not for the
cast iron pledge, Mr. Svage would be
elected, and words of regret are heard
on all sides because of his attempted
overthrow.
