NEW IRIftUS REFUSED
Opjlion oF Joilflc Archbnld in Famous
vV Hand Trespass Suit '
THAT NOTADLC CASE REVIEWED
judge I'nablo to Find Anything That lie
Thinks Would Warrant llitu in Allow
ing the Plaintiff Another Trial.
!' Extracts from the Opinion.
Judder R. W. Archbald handed down
an opinion yesterday refusing a new
trial in the notable trespass u't of Ur.
f): U. Hand, of this city, aKainst the
Central Pennsylvania Telephone com
pany. Dr. Hand sued to recover dam
ages for Injuries alleged to have been
sustulned on September 6, 1SS9, at West
Lackawanna and Ninth street. He
was driving up the avenue and at
Ninth street his horse stepped on a
wire lying on the wound. The animal
received an electric shock, was killed
and fell to the ground.
Dr. Hand left the cartage and tried
to raise the animal by taking hold of
the bridle. He claimed to have received
a shock of electricity that made him
very sick at the time and caused iiim
to vomit. From the shock, he alleged,
that he was permanently injured, one
of his arniB partially paralyzed. It was
maintained that the company was neg
ligent, because . Its telephone wires
should have been guarded to avoid
possible eontaet with a trolley wire or
any part of the system connected there
with; because the wire, which foil, was
eaten through by rust; because the
company had notice that the wire was
down and had sulflclent time before the
accident occurred in which to have re
paired it.
The ease took eleven days to try.
Judge Archbald was on ' the bench.
Mayof Everett Warren and Attorney
Candor,, of Willamsport, defended the
company's Interest, and the plaintiff
wns represented by Attorneys S. K
Price, C. K. Pitcher, and J. lilllott
Ross. There were a large number of
medical and electrical experts called
upon 'toTtes'tiry by "the "plaintiff 'and de
fendant, among them being Prof.
Thomas n. Lock w--' of IJoston, rec
ognized as one of the most competent
experts on electricity in the ynlted
States.
The Jury agreed upon a verdict on
Tuesday evening, June 19. last year, at
7 o'clock in the evening; It was read in
court the next morning. The Jury
found for the defendant company.
The attorneys for Dr. Hand took
steps Immediately for a new trial and
a rule was granted to show cause why
a new triul should not be allowed. The
case came up at the following argu
ment court, and the opinion of Judge
Archbald was not handed down until
yesterday. It Is a voluminous docu
ment and with the quotations of law
and authorities eliminated, is as fol
lows: The principal questions raised at the
trial and dlscUKsed at the argument for a
new triul are grouped under these heads;
1. As to the evidence rejected, i. As to
the degree of care generally required of
the defendant company. 3. As to their al
leged negliKcnce with regard to the full of
the wire which caused the accident. 4. As
to the charge of the court and the an
swers to law points.
What tlio Verdict Meant.
Had the Jury found that the company
was negligent, they must have found a
verdict at east for the value of the horse,
however they muy have been impressed-
with regard to tne attested injuries or me
plaintiff personally. The general verdict
In favor of the defendant which was ren
dered can only, therefore, be Interpreted
as a tlndina that no negligence on the part
of the company was shown, and this elimi
nates from the cuse all errors that may
have been committed In the rejection of
evidence going merely to the question of
the Injuries to Dr. Hand nimseir. .
Judge Archbald goes on to speak of the
rejected testimony of Drs. Wehlau and
Dolan and other witnesses. The opinion
sets, forth that the court Is not concerned
with what tho trolley company, whose
wires are charged with a dangerous cur
rent of electricity. And It their duty to do
to guard those wires from contact with
others. The case cannot be looked at from
this standpoint. If It has been found
necessary by telephone or telegraph com
panies, whose wires and currents are
similar, to put up guard wires to protect
them from the more heavily charged wires
of street railways It would have heen
relevant on the part of the plaintiff to
show It.
The plaintiff proposed to sliow that a
guard wire was used, but by whom wns
not specified lr he offer. This left it too
indefinite to .''nissable. The earnest
contentlor ' . ntiff's counsel at the
trial wv ..defendant company, be-
cau'- .jngerous character of elec
tric . ,...S was bound to use not simply
ordinary! but extraordinary care In the
construction and maintenance of its sys
tem. This rule was not adopted in the in
structions given to the Jury; on the con
trary, they were told that the degree re
quired was only that of ordinary care. A
number of authorities and questions of
law are next cited by Judge Archbald.
Principal Ground for Complaint.
One of the principal grounds for present
complaint was that the question of the
company's negligence in not maintaining
the wire which broke and fell on the high
way was withdrawn from the Jury. While
It is true that the evidence showed that
this wire was badly rusted, it was not
shown .that It was either originally faulty
or that It had remained in place so long
that the company ought to have known of
its defective condition and removeil it.
As was said In the charge to the jury
the plaintiff's case was destitute of any
thing by which to Judge of whether the
company In this respect had fulfilled Its
duty. Negligence is a relative term, and
Is to 'be proven, not assumed. The de
fendant company can only bo convicted
of negligence In case they knew or ought
to have known that the wire was In such a
defective condition that it should have
been taken down. That It was half way
rusted through does not necessarily prove
It. Professor Lockwood . testified that,
while the rust undoubtedly affected the
tensile strength of the wire, yet Its weight
would be also reduced by the same process
and therewith the strain upon the wire It
self. And even Mr.. Fern, the plaintiff's
own witness, admitted that without a se
vere shaking It might have stood for years.
That .the wire broke when subjected to
the pressure of the electric light wires
which fell on Chestnut street during the
storm, establishes nothing.
This might happen to a new .wire as well
as an old one, and neither can be expected
to stand an unexpected strain. Hut, as
suming, for the sake of argument, that
rusted as It was, the wire was in a condi
tion to require removal, there was noth
ing In the trial to show, even with that
concession, that the company ought to
havo known It. No actual knowledge is
shown; the plaintiff only said that It was
the company's duty to know the Insecure
condition of the wire and remedy it. All
wires-In their liability to rust are not
alike, nor can It be determined how long In
general a wire of this oharacter can be
expected to last or how soon to become de
fective and bad. Without something of
this kind there is absolutely nothing upon
which to say that the company were
negligent In not knowing of its condition
and removing it.
Matter of Argument.
It Is said that inspecton would have dls-'
closed the defect, but this Is more a mat
ter of argument than of proof. Upon this
also the plaintiff's case is barren of any
thing tangible. It was not shown In what
manner or how often wires of this charac
ter should be examined; much less la It
shown that such examination on the part
of the company was wanting. On the
contrary; William Neary, one of the line
men and inspectors, said that he passed
this place to and from his home on an
average once or twice a day, that he al
ways took note of the wires as he went
by, and that if they were out of order he
would have noticed them. If this was not
sufficient Inspection, plaintiff should have
shown It. Without evidence to the con
trary It would be Imposible to allege that
this Inspection was not sufficient.
As was said at the trial, the whole of
the proof upon this branch of the case is
summed up in the two facts: 1. That the
wire broke. . That it was found to have
been one-half - to two-thirds rusted
through. This may all be true without the
defendants being In any degree negligent,
and where the evidence is as consistent
with the defendant's care as with the
neglect of It, negligence is not proved.
There are several misconceptions of the
charge In the reason assigned for a new
trial. For instance, It .was not said to
the Jory that the duty of removing the
wire, .which, was down, .depended solely
upon the danger to be apprehended; the
ikflpt WM Mftrrtd toi one of tb. .
ments entering Into the duty of the de
fendants, but not as alone controlling It.
This was called to t'he attention of the
Jury. Tho greater tho rianicer the more
promptly would the company be called
upon to-art, and had this bfun left out of
consideration, the plaintiff might have had
Just ground of complaint instead of ex
cepting because It was brought into It.
" The rcnif Inder of the opinion ia taken
up with flie discussion nf tno ruiliK-i
made by the court on the law points
submitted by the plaintiff's counsel.
SEEK REPRESENTATION.
Plan the Coal Operators' Association Will
Try to rnrry Out.
The Anthrneite Coal Operators' asso
ciation, which comprises nearly all of
the corporations, firms and individuals
mining anthracite coal outside of tho
nine principal coal carrying railroads,
has decided to make an attempt tn se
cure representation In the directories
of tho nine railroads referred to. Ainomf
those railroads are the Central Rail
road of New Jersey; Delaware. Lacka
wanna and Western; Delaware and
Hudson Canal; Philadelphia and Read
ing; New York, Ontario and Wc3tern;
Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley.
The association makes Its claim for
representation on the ground that its
members mined during last year 'SI per
cent, of the total tonnace of anthra
cite and that nearly all of their product
is delivered to some of the railroads
named, under contrncts providing for a
division of the selling price between
mo operator ana the carrier, it is
claimed that this arrangement makes
the Interests of the association and of
the stockholders In the anthracite car
rying railroads practically identical.
The association has appointed a com
mittee consisting1 of E3. B. Sturgls and
C. D. Simpson, of this city, and H. M.
Howe, of Philadelphia, to solicit prox
ies which will bo used nt the several
annual meetings ftf the railroad com
panies to elect one or more directors
representing the individual miners.
MISS NORTON'S RECITAL.
I.orgo Audlcnco llcurj Her at tho Y. M,
:. A. Hall I nst Night.
Miss Edith M. Norton, elocutionist
gave her first public recital in Youna;
Men s Cnr'Istlan association hall last
evening, before a. large audience, which
numbered many of the mof t prominent
persons of the city. The hearty ap
plause that followed he different num
bers recited by the younp artist was
perhaps the best testimonial tht could
'V.e glvtn her -cu' the favorable Impres
sion Ehe made on her auditors.
Miss Norton has evidently made a
careful and thoujrhtful study not only
c'f the ant of elocution, but of the se
lections she gave at hor re-clltal last
night, for they were all .marked by an
expression that brought out the full
beauity of t.io thought in the lines,
Combined with this genius for expres
sion she has a clear, well modulated
voice, and an ennuclatlon that Is al
most perfect. Among the numbers she
recited last night were: "The Pied
Piper of 'Hamelln," a scene from "As
You Like It." "Nicholas Nickleby
Leaving the Yorkshire School," "The
Hunting Scene," from "London Assur
ance," and James Whltcomb Riley's
"Prior to Mis Belles Appearance.
They covered a wide range and en
abled IMiss Norton to show her great
versatility.
;Mlss Norton was assisted by Miss
Augusta Yendilk, soprano, of New York
efty; Mita Elsbeth Wlnton, violinist.
and Miss Florence Richmond, pianist
Miss Winton's ulaylng -was received
with much favor.
