PIONEER CASE
II ELECTRICAL
E
of Dr. D. B. Hand Opens Up a
Wholly New Field.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR LiVB WIRES
The Jury Sealed Their Verdict at 7
O'clock Last Evening, in a Pieco of
Litigation Which .Has Attracted Ex
pert Attention Throughout the
Country The Evidence Impartially
and Carefully Reviewed Points in
Which tho Judge Charged the Jury
and Points Which He Reserved.
After claiming tlio attention of the
court for eleven 'lays the case of Dr.
D. 15. Hand auaiust the Outral Penn
sylvania Telephone and Supply com
pany waa given to the j.iry at 11,46
yesterday morning. At 7 o'clock last
evening the jury agreed and scaled its
verdict.
it is ono of the most interesting and
hardest fought court c3es ever tried In
this county, The plaintiff was repre
sented by Attorneys B, E Prico. C. R.
Pitcher and J. Elliot ROSS, and the de
fendant company by Major Everett
Warren and Attorney Candor, of Will
iamsport. Tho greater part of tho
work of examining witnesses was
performed by Mr, Price and Mr. War
ren. It was a superb legal battle
throughout, In which tho resources of
the attorneys were at times severely
ti sted. As an oi j ct lesson of the man
ner ia which a c.ie should be tried it
was most interesting, and was watched
with close attention ty lawvers. more
especially by the yonngor motubors of
i the bar.
, Tlr II., (Ill ail-,,1 tr MMMH ilmnn ,.na
fur injuries alleged to havo boon sus
tained on Sept. 0, lcWJ, at West Laclta-
i wanna aveuuo aul Ninth street in this
city, The doctor was driving up Lacka
wanna avenue and at Ninth street his
horse stopped on a wire lying on the
ground. Tho animal recjivoi an eloc
trie shock, was killed aud fell to the
ground.
DOCTOR BECBIYEO A SHOCK.
Dr. Hand loft his buggy and attempt
ed to raise the horse by taking hold of
the bridle, lie claims that bo received
h shock of electricity that madeebim
very aid; at the limn and caused him to
vomit. That was not all. From the
effect! of tho shock he declares that be
wan permanently Injured, ono of his
arms being partially paralysed, and
it has since wasted away noticeably.
For tbiso injuries ho asked damages
from the telephone company, whose
wire he contends did all tho mischief
by falling and comiugiu contact with a
guy wire holding a trolley wire Lof
the traction oompaoy in place.
From the guy wire tuo end of the
telephone wire fell to the ground, and
when tho bone stopped on it he re
ceived a shock direct i'roai the trolley
wire. Tlie case, of coarse, hinges on
the question ot negligence on the part
of the company. It is maintained that
the defendant was negligent.
First Because its tolephono wires should
have been guarded to avoid possible con
tact with a trolley wire orauy part of tho
system connected therewith.
Second Because the wire which fell was
eatn through by rust.
Third Because the company had notice
that tiio wiro was down aud had sufHciont
tune before tho accident occurred in which
to havo repaired it.
FIRST CF THE KIND.
Tho case practically opens up a now
field of jurisprudence. It is the first
case tried in this county growing 'out
ot damage caused by electricity di
rectly and is a pioneer in that class of
litigation. The silent force is now
being employed so i xteniively that the
future will probably develop many
soiuawhnt similar cases. At the pres
ent, however, thero is littlo legislation
bearing directly on such cases, and
there were few legal landmarks to
guide the trial of tho cause.
Judge Archbald, before whom tho
cane was tried, decided that for the
purposes of the case, by anulogy
it might be made to conform to the
conditions that must be observed
for tho Hafety of public by othor com
panies that perform public functions,
lis iikened it to a steam road company
that nsos locomotives. Hucb com
panies, for tho protection of the prop
erty iu tho territory through which
their engine's pass, are compelled to
adopt tho latest and best known spark
arresters. If the take such precau
tions they cannot bo held liable for
damages. In like manner he held that
a tolephono company should udopt tho
best known means of proteotlug its
wires against tho introduction of any
foreign current.
It was held by the defenso that tho
wire that killed Dr. Hand's horse was
not owned by tnem but was tho prop
erty of tho Postal Telegraph company ;
that thero was no duty it owed to the
publio in tho construction and main to
nance of its wires that it had not per
formed; that Dr. liatul could not havo
received a shock personally, tho evi
dence being that the horse foil on the
wiro which would completely ground
it and pass tho current into the earth.
DBMIBD THAT HI! WAS IXJCItED.
It was further held that even if Dr.
Hand could have sustained a shock tho
efleotl were only temporary and insig
nificant. The ovidenco of the medical
experts for tho dofense sustained this
position by stating that Dr. Hand Is not
now suffering from any serious physi
cal trouble. Whatever difficulty thero
is with his arms or other parts of his
body thoy said wero attributable to the
numorous accidents Dr. Hand had sub
taiued from time to time, and for
which he secured indemnity from acci
dent insurance companies.
Thero were a large number of msd
ical and electrical experts culled upon
to testify by the plaintiff aud dofond
ant, among them being Professor
Thomas D. Lock wood, of Boston, recog
nize) as ono of tlio greatest electrical
experts in tho country. Ho is the en
iinoerof tlio American Bell Telephone
company, and Is the author of several
works on electricity, which have been
translated into foreign languages, Oue
of his books has just boen translated
into Japanese. lie left this city last
Saturday and went dlrsct to Boston to
testify in tho case of tho United btntos
against the Bell Telephone company to
rescind certain patents held by tho Bell
compnny. The abundance of expert
testimony made tho case one of
uncommon interest to the medical and
electrical people, many of whom were
present during the whole trial.
TtJUNTNQ POINT OF THK CASE.
The question of the liability of the
company of oourso hinges on whether
or not it was guilty of negligence.
ue guy wire, over which the tele
liSPnUEIC
phone wire fell, ran from tho trolley
wire to a post on the north side of
Lackawuuna avenue and was supposed
to be protected from tho current from
the trolley wire by a poroelaiu insu
lator. That iusulutor was iu place
two years before the aooident, and it
was contended bv tho plaintiff that
owing to its broken and Imperfect
condition, tno guy wire become
charged aud In turn charged tho tele-
phono wiro whioh dropped over it. The
real question at Issue in the case is, was
the telephone company bound to take
notieo that in the courso of two yoars
ttist insulator wnien protected tho guy
was liable to become useless uuil
therefore cuuse the trouble tbot
resulted? If it know that such a con
dition of uffaira was likely to urise,
then it would have been its duty to
have so protected its wires that iu case
they fell thoy would not drop on the
guy wiro and thereby become a menace
to life.
Tho evieionce in the case closed on
Saturday, and Monday was devoted to
the arguments of counsel to jury.
Yestorday morning Judge ArchbaU do
llvorod his oharge. It was an abla of
fort, the various questions being treated
in un exhaustive manner. With the
painstaking csro for which Judge
Archbald is famous, he carefully re
viewed every detail in tho case that the
jnry might thoroughly understand the
whole subjeot.
THAT SECOND REASON.
As has been iliown above, tho plain
tiff claims that the defendant was
guilty of negligenoe for three reasons.
The second was "because the wire
which fell was eaton through by rwt,"
This was withdrawn from the consid
eration of the jury by Judge Archbald
because tho company was only bound
to use ordinary oars in maintaining ils
wires 6o far as breakage is concerned,
aud thero was no evidence to show that
it knew or ought to havo known of
the defect in the wire, if thero was
any.
The case went to tho jury for consid
eration on the othor two grounds of
negligence stibj-jct to a point reserved
by Judge Archbald.
The point is: Was thore negligence
on tho purt of the company In not so
guarding its wires as to prevent them
from possible coutact with guy wires
connected with tho trolley system? In
case tha verdict is for tho plaintiff
then the reserved point will come np
for argument, and whon Judge Arch
bald has passed npou the matter it
will unquestionably be token up
to the supremo court for re
view. Tbe decision of that body
will be an authority on what
constitutes proper care by telephone
and Ulegraph companies to prevont
their wires from beiug made danger
ous by contact with wires more heavily
charged.
That is where the importance at
tached to this caBo rests and why it bag
been watched with such close csro by
those interested iu the development
of electricity as well ns by the legal
profession.
FIERCE FIRE IfT A BREWERY.
Tho One Owned by the Robinsons',
on Seventh Street, Damaged
to Extent of $15,000.
Tho fiercest liro of the year, and one
that required tho greatest efforts of tho
firs department to battle with broke
out yesterday morning on the second
floor in tho main storago room of the
E Robinson brewery at Seventh and
Swetland streets on tha West Sido
Tho flumes wero discovered at 0.30
by tho watchman, and a force of em
ployes set to work with tho Are ap
paratus owned at the brewery und be
lore any of the firo companies arrived
thero wero three streams turned on the
building.
The rooms in which tho tire started
were stored with lurge quantities of
malt hops. Th total damage is esti
mated at from $10,000 to sl.r),000.
Ex-Sheriff Charles Robinson, a part
owner of tbe brewery, was seen yester
day at his office. His theory as to the
origin of the fire is that it was cansed
by some defect in the elsotric wires.
Chief Engineer Ferber's opiuion is that
spontaneous combustion caussd it.
Tho building is brick one audjtuore
is very little Infl immnblo material cou
nectod witli it. It is three storlos
high and laid out in such stylo as to
rendor it a very disagreeable place to
fight a fire. In order to get the streams
directed where thoy would be effective,
the firemen were forced to climb on
the roof by means of ladders and turn
the water upon tlio flames through tho
opening wiiioh the fire had made.
Another line was hauled to tho roof of
the residence of Mrs. E. Robinson ad
joining. In less than uu hour the
blnz? was uuder control.
The alarm was sounded from box 1 i
and Chief Ferber as soon ns he saw the
task beforo him, caused a second alarm
tn be rung, which moans that addition
al companies respond.
At the first alarm the Hook and Lid
dor. Nay Aug, Eigle, Phenix and Crys
tal companies turned out, nnd whon
the second was sonnded, the Century,
Franklin nnd tho Colutubias answered.
The damage done to the building did
not interfere with the business at the
brewery; everything was runuiug as
usual after the fire. The loss is fully
covered by insuranc?.

Murderer Medala Would Show Moiic to His
Cowering Victim.
IN HIDING NEAR OLD FORGE
That Is Opinion of Sheriff Fahoy Who
Has Been Working Industriously on
tho Case Thinks That County
Commissioners Should Offer a Re
ward Believes Medala's Hiding
Place Would Then Be Disclosed.
"If the county commissioners would
consent to offer a reward I am confi
dent that Crlsconzo Medala, who mur
dered Emanuel Loro at Old Forge Sun
day night, can bo captured, said Slier
ill l1 ahey yesterday after his return
from the sceno of the murder. "I have
already up -nt over $100 in hiring men
and horses lu nu effort to run him
down, and ns that must come out of
my own pocket I think I should not be
asked to b-jar anv further expanse lu
this esse. But the mnu should be cap
tared, nud it the county commissinnors
will assist me 1 am confident that 1
can capture Medala,
"Every avenue of escape from tho
vicinity of Old Forgo has been guarded
with vigilance since thrao hours after
tho murder, and 1 am sure that Medala
is kept iu hiding by friends somewhere
in tho vicinity of Old e'orge, It is inv
opinion that tbe offr of a reward
would load to his hiding place being
disclosed."
Sheriff Fnhy nnu several of his as
sistants will go to Old Forge agaiu this
uioriiinir. County Detective Shea is
also continuously at Old Forge. It is
almost impossible to got any informa
tion concerning tho murderer, ovu the
man with whom he boardod at first
denying that he know Medala's
name. Those who havo been working
on tbe caae have had several exciting
adventures.
COMMISSIONER DKMCTH INTERVIEWED.
A TRIBUNE reporter found commis
sioner Demuth In his cilice yesterday.
He said thut within a few hours ho had
several inquiries from persons who re
side at Old Forgo as to whether or not
tho county would offer a reward. Mr.
Demuth said that Commissioner S. W.
Roberts is now in Middlutown, N. Y. ,
and iu his abseuco the other commis
disliked to take any action. Mr. Rob
erts will return Thursday.
Tho additional facts thut are being
brought to light show that the murder
was the most deliberate ever committed
iu the history of tho county. It appears
that Loro was disliked because be kept
a barb- r shop iu which only 5 cents
was charged for shaving,
Medala followed him for over COO
feot before shooting. After firing the
second shot Loro fell aud, with his
hands clasped over his eyes to shut out
tlio view of his enemy standing over
blm with a smoking revolver in his
baud, he besought Medala to spare biin.
For an answer the murderer fired three
other bhols into the writhing body of
his victim.
Having finished bis bloody work he
made his war through tho crowd that
had gathered, and going bick to his
boarding house reloaded his oS-culibre
revolver and walked away. No one
attempted to stop him.

PLEASANT TRIP TO ITHACA.
It Was Enjoyed by a Largo Party of
Scrantonians They Were Roy
ally Entertained.
The business and professional mon of
Ithaca say there is a very strong bond
between that city and Scrauton. This
is true and has been strengthened by
the business foresight of Judge Hand,
Horace E. Hand, E. It. Fuller and
others who have built a perfect system
of street railways for that city.
It was the privilege of u number of
Bcranton, Pittston and Montroso peo
ple with their friends, by Invitation ol
tho Ithaca Street Railway company, to
inspect the road thut bus done so much
for chat city.
Tho party in a special oar attached
to tlio train which left Scrrntoa at 0 a.
m. reached Itiiaca at 1.80 p. m. A largo
open car conveyed the party over the
street railway system Cornell college
campus was tho first point oT attack.
Ono stop was made on tho bridge
spanning the glen to tho south of the
college grounds, and it mojt charming
view was had of this deep gorge, After
inspecting the coliego buildings ond
grounds tho party was takeu on an ex
tension road to the border of tha lake
where a casino is being built, and the
grounds being beautified,
At 0 o'clock all were taken to tbe
steamboat landing, where Professor
Moses Crib Tyler, Professor Morris, the
mayor of the city, editor of the Ithaca
Jonrual and other prominent citizeus
joined tlio party nnd wisre taken twen'y
miles down the lake to tho Oayngit
Lake Honse at Sheldrake, where tre
night was spent. The parly, by this
tiino numbering fifty, were comfortably
cared for. The boat yesterday morn
ing brought the party back to Itliaon,
wlic-re the cirs were in waiting to take
tho company to the college grounds and
the power station of too stroot railway
aud electric lighting system. Steam
power is also in ros.Tve use and is used
only in case the watar power Is insuf
ficient. At U. 10 p.m. tho train left Ithaa
for Scrauton. Everyone was loud in
his or her pruiso of tho kindness that
prompted tn iuvitation tor the trip.
This feeling found expression in tho
following resolution adopted on tho
train when homeward bound:
