VERDICT AGAINST THE CITY
Binding Instructions Given to the Jury in
the Suit of Jones Against the City.
Damugo Suit Against Carbon
dale Traction Company.
In the trespass suit of Mrs. Ann Mun
ley, of Jermyn, Whosfc lulsbaiid, Pat
rick, died from Injuries received on the
night, of Thanksgiving Day, 1889, by
fulling Into the excavutlon on John L.
Hull's air lot on lower Lackawanna ave
nue, the Jury yesterday morning ren
dered the substantial verdict of $5,000.
The suit was brought for $0,000. This
Is the largest verdict recorded against
the city of Scrunton since it was In
corporated. Munley had fallen into the excava
tion on the night mentioned while he
wns running to catch a train on the
Delaware and. Hudson railroad.
His widow Bued John L. Hull, owner
of the "property, but Judge Archbald
non-suited the case on the ground that
Munley was drunk. In the trial Just
ended the testimony was not so posi
tive and Judge Archbald let the case go
to the Jury.
Questions for the Jury.
He framed for the Jury six questions
which he directed them to answer and
render a special verdict aside from the
general verdict. The questions and an
swers as they were answered by the
Jury are as follows:
1. Wqb tho place of the accident so pro
tected as to make jt reasonably safe?
Answer No. "
2. Was It so protected tHat a person' by
the use of ordinary care could have passed
by on the sidewalk in sufety?
Answer No.
3. If it was not reasonably safe In what
respect was It unsafe or insufficiently
protected? (If the first question Is an
swered "yes" the third question need not
tx answered.).
Answer We do not think it was suin
clently guarded
4. Was Patrick Munley iiltoxieated, or
under the Influence of liquor at tho tlmo
of the accident?
Answer No.
5. If Patrick Munley was In an Intovl
cated condition at thb time. of the acci
dent, was It on account of that condition
that he fell and stumbled into the cel
lar? Answer No,
0. if you answer the fifth or sixth ques
tion ."up," Btate briefly how the accident
happened. '.'
Answef In reply' to question fifth:. To
the best of our knowledge this accident to
Patrick Munley was caused by the Imper
fect condition of the sidewalk and guard
rail.
After the 'verdict was filed City Solic
itor J. IK Torrey made a motion for a
new trial and Judge Archbald granted
ft rule to show cause why a new trial
should not be granted, returnable nt
argument court.
In the other suit against the city, that
of Stephen Jones, who sued to dispos
sess the city of a certain lot of ground
ultuated along North Washington ave
nue, which the city unjustly seized in
opening said avenue, the court gave
binding ln-truction- to the jury and a
verdict was rendered In favor of the
idalntirT.
The Jury that heard the case of the
Hawley Glass company against Bot
tler J. H. Davitt returned with a ver
dict amounting to $74.04 In favor of the
plaintiff.
Suit Against Winton ttorough.
In the suit of Michael Murray and his
wife against the bonftigh of Winton
Judge Albright refused the motion for
a non-suit. Errors In the declaration
of the plaintiff were discovered und
yesterday morning ex-Judge Stanton
and Attorneys Hulslander & Vosburg
appeared In court with 'an amended
declaration. Ex-Judge Jessup, of the
counsel for the defendnnt, pleaded sur
prise, and court then withdrew a Juror
and continued the suit. Court also al
lowed the amended declaration to be
filed in the case.'
With the termination of these cases
there was but one more on the list for
the week, the tresspass suit of Wllllarrt
May against the Carbondale Traction
company. The case was put on trial
before Judge Archbald In court room
No. 1 and a Jury drawn. All thi? other
Jurors, for the week were discharged

DIRECT FROM THE ARTISTS,
MONDAY, TUESDAY
and 28, 1894, at 8.00 p. in.
Attorneys Major Everett Warren and
I. H. Burns appeared as counsel for the
plulntlff, and Attorneys S. B. Price and
J. E. Burr for the defendant. H. B.
Jadwln, treasurer of tho Traction com
pany, sat at the defendant's tuble and
Mr. May occupied a seat alongside his
lawyers.
The case was called before noon and
after the Jury was sworn the attorneys
of the defense moved court to direct Hn
order granting the defendant the right
to take the Jury to Carbondale to view
the premises. Major Warren objected,
suiting as his reasons that the case
had not progressed sufficiently to show
whether there were proper grounds to
ask the court that the Jury be taken to
Curbondule. , ...
Jury Had a Railroad Trip.
Judge Archbald ovqrruled the ob
jection and ordered the Jury to be sent
to view the premises, and the Jury left
on the 11 o'clock train, in charge of
Tipstaff Keller. They returned about
3 o'clock' and the case was resumed.
The plaintiff, William May, was put
upon the witness stand. He lives with
hla family on Brooklyn street, Carbon
dale. In 1892 the Carbondale Traction
company, in building Its tracks along
Brooklyn street cut away six feet of
the roadway In front of his property.
Before the construction of the road Mr.
May valued his property at 12,500, now
the value of It was $1,000, he alleges.
After Mr. May's testimony the evi
dence of Thomas Klllen was heard. He
claims to be a good judge of the value
of real estate, and he swore that Mr.
May's property before the street rail
way was built was fully worth $2,500.
"Now, for my part," he said, "I would
not give $500 for It." .
P. O. McDonough, common council
man of the city of Carbondale, testi
fied that Mr. May's property was dam
aged $1,500. James Pldgeon, one of the
city assessors of Carbondale, thought
that the damage amounted to about
$1,000.
John J. Collins, a contractor, said
that he made an estimate of the cost
of the work required to be done around
the place in order to put It back In a
condition equal to what It was before
the street railway was built, and his
estimate Is that Is would cost $1,360. In
other words, It had been damaged to
that extent. That Is as far as the case
was at adjournment.' 1

A
A Pain-Racked Sufferer Tells an
Interesting Story.
How He VVas Tortured for Years
und Finally Cured by
Munyon's Remedy.
Charles Wark, of 14 North Twenty
fourth street, Philadelphia, has been a
constant sufferer from rheumatism for
years. He was cured by the use of Mun
yon's Rheumatism Cure. This Is his
story:
"I was afflicted with rheumatism In
the right shoulder and suffered the
most excruciating agony. Sharp shoot
ing pains darted through It so intense
I could not sleep nights. Even the
weight of the bedclothes was more than
I could bear; neither could I lie on the
right Bide or on my back. Life became
a perfect burden to me. I could not
raise my hand to my head, and when I
attempted to put on my coat or any
article of dress, the torture was enough
to drive me wild. Many remedies were
suggested and tried,. but none did me
the slightest good, and I began to de
spair of ever, being able to obtain re
lief. Some time ago, however, I pro
cured a bottle of Munyon's Rheuma
tism Cure. It afforded me relief after
the first few doaes. and by the time the
little 25-cent bottle waB gone I was
entirely free from pain. I have had no
return of my old enemy, and I feel satis
fied I am permanently cured. It seems
so wonderful I can hardly realize It,
and can only show my appreciation of
the merits of the cure by recommend
lug It to other sufferers."
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu
matism cured In from one to five days
It never falls to cure sharp, shooting
pains In the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness In any part of the
body In from one to three hours. It Is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
stiff and Bwollen Joints, stiff back, and
all pains in the hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain
In the back are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 23
cents a Dome.

THOSE TYPHOID CASES.
Sir: Yuur Issue of the 19th Inst, con
tallied an article written by James K.
Bently, II. D., in which he disputes the
correctness of my diagnosis of typhoid
fever in the Fanning family. On
Thumday evening, the 15th Inst.. Doc
tors Bently, Sullivan and myself dis
cussed the symptoms of typhoid fever
and billlous-remlttent fevers, and dif
ferentiated between the two (2) dis
eases. Dr. Bently gave the history of a
patient whose symptoms he said were
those of billlous-remlttent fever. I
then detailed the syptoms of my cases
In the Fanning family said: In my opin
ion they indicated typhoid fever. Dr.
Bently then turned to me and said:
"Doctor, I don't dispute your diag
nosis In your cases.'" '
Will the Doctor now be kind enough
to Inform me which of his two stories
Is the true one? The doctor also Btated
in the same article that I had been dis
charged from a case and he was called
In. This case was that of a sick man
whose wife became alarmed, called at
my office, and not finding me there, took
whom she could find, and that was Dr.
Bently. The next morning, Nov. D, I
called, and finding Dr. Bently In charge
of tho case, I greeted him kindly, left
him with the patient and walked toward
the door. The wife of the sick man, fol
lowing me, said: "Doctor, I want you
to treat my husband." I turned to her
and said, "No, you had better keep the
doctor you have," and left her. I had
not made a diagnosis In this case. This
is the way I was discharged.
The doctor quotes from DaCosta, as
follows: "A patient whose temperature
rises during the first day's illness up to
105 or 106. degrees Farenhelt, certainly
does not suffer from typhus or typhoid
fever." I quote from A. A. Stevens, A.
M.f M. D., Instructor of physical diag
nosis In the University of Pennsyl
vania, as follows: "In some cases of
typhoid fever, especially In the young,
the temperature rises abruptly." Now
the ages of my patients In the Fanning
family range all the way from 5 to 8
years, I think they can be safely classed
as young people.
In disputing my diagnosis the doctor
states that "The Fanning family pri
marily did not have typhoid fever, but
from the length of time that has
elapsed Blnce stricken down the disease
may have drifted Into typho-malarla or
relapsing fever, which are first cousins
to typhoid fever." Fortunately, after I
had sent In my report of typhoid fever
to the board of health I called council,
later the Fannlngs also called In a doc
tor (a regular practitioner) both able
physicians and the diagnosis of both
was typhoid fever, pure and simple. It
was neither tinted with the autumnal
hue nor was first, second or third cousin
to typho-malarla.
Now the relation that typho-malarla
bears to typhoid fever is about the
same as that of a white man blackened
bears to a true negro. You can no
more get a typhoid fever from a ma
laria germ than you can get a timothy
stock from a clover seed, because each
germ Is distinct In Itself, and gives rise
to a fever peculiar to Itself.
The absurdity of the whole affair Is
Dr. Bently, accompalned by
Thomas Shotten, went to the house of
the Fannlngs, inspected the cesspool In
the bak yard, which I reported, then
went Into the house, upstairs, looked at
the cots; not even did he feel a puis;,
take a temperature, percuss an abdo
men nor ask questions concerning the
patients; left the house, has not been
there since, and disputes my diagnosis.
What a wonderful knowledge this man
has. Doctors St. Clair, Smith and
Loomls, of New York, A. A. Stevens
and Da Costa, of Philadelphia, have no
such knowledge, "No, not one."
In conclusion I will add: I have not
come out to fight, nor shall I enter Into
any more controversy. I merely ask
you to publish these few Unas In order
that I may defend myself.. I have come
to Providence to stay, and moan to
treat all comers courteously, be they
doctors or laity.
