THE LAW REGARDING LIBEL
i ..
Laid Down by Judge Gunstcr in the
Action Against Free Press."
VERDICT AGAINST DR. KENNEDY
Jury Awards Mrs. Ash all $780 In Her Suit
Against the City Verdict Returned
Against Coal Operators Stroud and
Chamberlain-otber Cases Heard.
Much speculation was taken by at
torneys and others about the court In
what the verdict of the Jury would be
In She civil libel suit for damages In
tha sum of $10,000, brought by Dr. W. P.
Kennedy, of Prlciyburn against Pro
prietor F. A. Beamish and Kdltor K. J.
Lynott, of the Sunday Free Press. The
jury filed Into the main court room at
S.30 yesterday afternoon. Judge Oun
ster was on the bench and took their
verdict, which wus In favor of the de
fendants. Charles F. Van Nort was
foreman of the Jury,
When court convened yesterday
morning Judge Gunster delivered his
charge. He spoke very carefully about
the liability of the defendants, and re
fused to atilrm the point of the plain
tiff's attorney, which held that all con
cerned In the publication of the Free
Press were responsible for damages
sustained by the publication of the
alleged libel. Court ruled that only
the person or persons concerned
In the publication of a libel
are responsible to the law for their acts.
To publish an article reporting that a
mail had libeled another Is actionable
only per se.; that Is to say the action
must be brought agulnst the individual
who wrote the article. Judge Gunster
told the Jury that unless they were con
vinced that the article in question did
not charge Dr. Kennedy with having
written or published something defam
atory about others, they could not
find a verdict for the plaintiff.
The article stated that "Dr. Kennedy
Is reported to have said" certain things.
Court charged that If the article only
meant that Dr. Kennedy spoke the
words, but did not write or publish
them, he could not recover damages,
because the article did not contain a
libel on him personally; It Is only
alleged to have reported that Dr. Ken
nedy libeled somebody else. The Jury
was out deliberating only a few hours.
Another Verdict Against the City.
Mrs. Fannie Aswell, of Tenth street,
whose suit for damages against the city
of Scranton was tried before Judiie
Mayer, wus awarded a verdict of $750
yesterday by the Jury that listened to
the evidence In the case. The testi
mony was the most peculiar ever heard
In u. trespass suit, based on damages
done to land, ever tried In these courts.
As many as a half dozen witnesses on
the part of the plaintiff swore unre
servedly that Mrs. Aswell's property
has been damaged to the extent of
$2,000 by the grading of Tenth street;
and JuBt as hiany on the defendant's
side maintained that the property has
been enhanced In value $2,000. The Jury
viewed the property and their verdict
was, no doubt, based on their own Judg
ments. She sued for $2,000.
In the case of Charles P. Hallock, of
Carbondale, against Coal Operators
Stroud and Chamberlain, the verdict
rendered was $1,536.22. This includes
the damages sustained by the plaintiff
in the amount of coal mined from un
der his land and the loss to his house
Incident to the cave-In which followed
the mining away of the coal. Hallock
sued for $4,000, but feels highly satis
fied with the award of the Jury.
In the suit of tha United Security
company against C. F. Barrowcllffe
court allowed the defendant to pay Into
court it he sum of $037.40 In full pay
ment of the costs and claim of the
plaintiff. A verdict In the suit of the
American Desk and Seat company
against Farnham & Edgett was taken
in the sum of $179.35 for the plaintiff. .
Verdict for and Against Defendant.
Judge Edwards presided In No. 2
court room tn the replevin suit of E. C.
Rtcker & Co. against F. S. Warren.
Hulslander & Vosburg- were attorneys
for the plaintiffs, and Attorney O. B.
Partridge for the defendant. The
amount Involved In the suit was $68.
The plaintiffs owned some horses which
had been kept at the defendant's stable
and which were detained by the latter
for the cost of their keeping. The Jury
found a verdict of $5 for the defendant
and ordered him to turn over the horses
to the plaintiff.
In No. 3 court room the trespass suit
of Thomas ConnlfT against the city of
Scranton was called for trial before
Judge Mayer and had not proceeded be
yond the empaneling of a Jury when
court adjourned. In No. 3 court the
suit of Carson & Davis against J. B.
Shlffer went to the Jury at 3 o'clock.
Another case was opened before Judge
Edwards In No. 2 court, that of the
Cincinnati Safe and Lock company
against M. M. Dewltt. Attorney C. C.
Donovan represents the plaintiff, and
R. A. Zimmerman the defendant.
DR. KELLEYAGAIX ABSENT.
He Treats tho Court with the Suprcmest
Contempt.
The trespass suit of John G. Jennings,
of Mlnonka, against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company, was called up for
trial by Judge Gunster yesterday morn
ing, but Cornelius Smith, attorney for
Jennings, refused to go to trial because
Dr. Carl M. Kelley, of Equtnunk,
Wayne county, was not present to testi
fy. The doctor Is the most Important
witness for the plaintiff.
Judge Gunster exhibited marked
signs of Impatience and anger at the
contemptuous treatment of the court
by Dr. Kelley, and ho notMed Sheriff
demons to have him brought before
the bar If It takes the organized effort
of the entire commonwealth of Penn
sylvania to accomplish the task.
The doctor was In town Tuesday and
expected that the court would call the
Jennings case Just then to suit his con
venience. When he learned that It
would not come up for trial until
Wednesday he made use of an ex
pression In reference to the court and
the case that sounded very" much like
what the departed Mr. Vanderbllt, of
New York, once remarked about the
public. i"
The refusal of Attorney Smith to go
to trial resulted In continuing the case
till the May term. Sheriff demons will
send a deputy at once after the doctor.
THE COMING .ELECTION.
Twenty-three Officers Will Be Eligible to
tote at it. -
It was Stated In these onlnmna nn
Monday that In all probability there
were but twenty officers of the line of
the Thirteenth regiment who are eligi
ble' to a vote at the coming election; It
has Just been learned that the commis
sions for Lieutenant Samnln rnmnnnv
B, . and Lieutenants Huff and Benja
min, 'company n, are on the way here.
These gentlemen were but recently
elected and have not yet been before
the examining board, It has been cus
tomary for each newly elected officer to
appear before a board of military men,
In Harrlsburg before receiving commis
sions, but this seems to have been done
away with, at least for the present.
There will, then, be twenty-three quali
fied to vote.
Twelve will be necessary to elect.
Two of the newly commissioned offi
cers are claimed Yiy ex-Captain Rock
well, who will oppose Captain Barnard
In the ng-ht for the majorshlp.
The next rehearsal of "Allatoona"
will take place on Friday night, and
will be participated in by the male
members only. On Saturday night a re
hearsal of the full cast Is called.
The kind offer of the Standard Dra
matic company to place their produc
tion alternately with "Allatoona" was
not accopted, because It was thought to
be Impracticable and for the reason
that the great war drama, "Allatoona"
will be sufllclent In Its attraction to till
the house every night.

DEATH OF MRS. O'CONNOR.
Passed Away at an Early Hour Wednes
day Morning.
The death of Mrs. James O'Conner,
at her home, at Franklin avenue and
Linden street, at an early hour yester
day morning, caused deep and wide
spread regret among her large circle of
friends, and the greatest sympathy Is
expreascd for her husband. City Editor
James O'Connor, of the Truth.
Mrs. O'Connor was 28 years of age
and was tin daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward .Mellon, of Franklin, avenue.
On March 28, 1804, she was united In
marriage with Mr. O'Connor. Their
wedded life had been a most happy
one and the death of his beloved wife
Is a severe blow to Mr. O'Connor. She
had been 111 about seven weeks. .
The funeral will take place Friday
morning. At 9.30 o'clock a requiem
mass will be celebrated tn St. Peter's
cathedral, after which she will be laid
to rest In the cemetery at Hyde Park.
IX LOCAL THEATERS.
Tonight the first production of "The
Brownies" In this city will be given at
the Frothlnghum. The company will
arrive by special train from Newark at
U o'clock this morning. The advance
sale of seats Is very large. Since this
attraction will appear only In Scranton,
It will draw crowds from Wllkes-Barre,
Carbondale, Plttston snd other towns.
There will be a number of theatrical
parties. The management of the Froth
lngham. In view of the remarkable de
mand for seats, would advise all who
Intend witnessing "The Brownies" to
engage them well In advance. In Order
that all disappointments may be avoid
ed. The performances which will be
given at the Frothlngham tonight, to
morrow and Saturday nights and Sat
urday matinee will be under the per
sonal supervision of Palmer Cox and
Malcolm Douglass, who composed the
music. They are now in the city.
Miss Ellta Proctor Otis and com
pany will appear at the Academy of
Music this evening In a gland produc
tion of "Oliver Twist." It Is one of the
greatest dramas of this or any other
period. Dramas are written and played
by the score, and forgot ton; "Oliver
Twist" remains the survival of the
fittest. This great play points to a
great moral goodness, uncontamlnated
by vice which permeates the entire
play. What author has given the actor
such a chance to hold the mirror up to
nature, and In this engagement of
"Oliver Twist," the greatest artist In
this line In America have been engaged
to illustrate, as no drawing may do, the
flesh and blood living pictures of Dick
ens' grand creations.
Miss Merlngton, the author, based the
barrack scene of Mr. Sothern' s new
play "Captain Lettarblair," upon an In
spection by Invitation of the soldiers'
quarters at Halifax, N. S. Her host,
on learning that her hero was to be a
military man, said: "Don't forget to
have lots of pipes In your scene, and
above all bills stacks of unpaid
bills." The only case on record of a
first-class organization being obliged
by public demand to give three mati
nees a week Is thtat of E. H. Sothern In
his new comedy, "Captain Lettarblair,"
at the Lyceum theater, New York.
This continued for over two months.
Mr. Sothern will be seen In "Captain
Lettarblair" at the Academy of Music
Friday night.
The successful farce-comedy, "A
Railroad Ticket," overflowing with
catchy songs, pretty girls and amusing
Incidents, will be the attraction at the
Academy of Music Saturday evening.
The plot of the piece is based on the
attempt of Mrs. J. H. F. Clasher to ob
tain a divorce from her husband, who
is endeavoring to boom a town site, by
offering a shower of artificial rain,
whenever desired, from his rain ma
chine, Instead of taking care of his
family. William Blalsdell plays the
part of a cut-rate ticket scalper and Is
said to be hilariously amusing. ' He Is
ably assisted by James T. Kelly, Harry
Porter, Haittle Waters, Jeanette Bageard
and Alice Carle.
Will Carleton, the poet, whose beau
tiful lines are familiar to almost every
one, will deliver a Jeature at the Froth-
Ingham on Tuesday, April 9 on "The
Drama of Human Nature." He should
be greeted by a large audience.
"Temptation of Money," a new real
istic scenic and mechanical melodrama
will be produced at Davis' today, to

and artlrtlo manner and many high
class specialties are Introduced during

of Increased Interest among a class

and friends of the association.
This observation need not be consid

sums are any the less welcomed; It la
merely noted that the fund Is being
supported by the Individuals to be ben

means of engaging the attention and

' Card of Thanks.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly allow me to thank the peo
ple of Elmhurst for their kindness during
the year we have resided In the place.
First, Dr. Duteson kindly volunteered his
services and successfully treated mo
whenever I have been confined to iho
house needing his services, and that with
out charges. Second, 1 wish In behalf of
myself and family to thank the deacons
and officials of our church for providing
teams to convey our furniture to the car,
also the ludles for preparing provisions
for us during the week of packing, and
also to last until we are settled in our
new home, and the church members for
volunteering to assist in removing goods
to the car. In fact not a wish or need of
ours but what the church and community
have kindly provided for without cost to
us.
It Is with deep regret that falling health
compels me to leave thorn. When so many
of our dear people stood weeping at Elm
hurst depot whom we left, some even go
ing with us as far as Scranton, our hearty
truly became a fountain of tears. Finally,
allow us, as a family, to extend our heart
felt thanks for all your kindness, hoping
and praying we may be united again as
an unbroken church circle In God's king
dom above.

GASPING FOR BREATH
A CATARRH SUFFERER'S STORT OF
HIS TORMENTS.
The Wonderful Cure Made by Muayou'e
Little Pellets,
Mr. John B. Albert, of 106 Colgate
street, Cleveland, O., says: "For the
past six years I have suffered terribly
from catarrh In Its most disagreeable
forms. I had all the disgusting symp
toms of that loathsome disease. There
was a continual dropping of mucus
Into my throat, a buzzing and roaring
In my ears and violent pains above the
eyes and nostrils. My breathing was
labored and heavy, and, at times, I
would be literally gasping for breath.
My system was nearly broken down
from tha disease whin I began to use
Munyon's Catarrh Remedies. I had not
much faith In them, but In a very short
time a big Improvement was noticeable.
Now I am thoroughly cured and enjoy
ing 'better health, than I have for over
six years."
Have you catarrh? Are you willing
to Investigate a treatment that cures
catarrh by removing the cause? It bo
ask your druggist for a 25-cent bottle of
Munyon's Catarrh Cure and a 25-cent
bottle of Catarrh Tablets. The Catarrh
Cure will eradloatethe disease from the
system, and the Tablets will clitanse
and heal the allllcted parts and restore
them to a natural and healthful condi
tion. Munyon's Homeopathic Homo Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every dlsease.whlch
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cunts a bottle.
Those who are In doubt as to the
nature of their disease should address
Professor Munyon, 1505 Arch street,
Philadelphia, giving full symptoms of
their dlsoa.se. Professor Munyon will
carefully diagnose the case and give
you tha benefit of his advice absolutely
free of all charge. The Remedies will
be sent to any address on receipt of
retail price.
