Olhrr Cum'si Tbut V-r Passed
l'IO.
At Philadelphia yesterday a number
fit important opinions were handed
down by the Supreme- court, four Lack
awanna county rases being anion? those
disposed of. tin,, of the most import
ant eases wait that of Mis. Margaret
Hughes ag::inst lheIelaware and Hud
son C'lntil coirpany. The case was
tried before .ludire Simoiiton.of Hurrls
luirjr. specially pieslillnjr, and u verdict
of S'.UW.riO ntumed subject to the fol
luwlns ivscivi.d imlr.t.
"Whether npim the whole evidence
William ,1. Hughes was guilty of contrib
utory iiecjisteiioe and the plaintiff Is
not on Hint k round entitled to recover,
with h-ave to the court, if It shall be
determined upon this ground the Jury
was not Justified In lindlng In favor of
the plaintiff, to enter Judgment In favor
of the defendant notwithstanding the
verdict."
Judge Slmonton Inter decided that
flushes had not been guilty of contrib
utory negligence and overruled a mo
tion for Judgment In favor of the de
fendant notwithstanding the verdict
uud also refused a motion for a hew
tilal. The supreme yesterday reversed
Judge Sinionton and directed Judgment
to be entered in favor of the defendant
on the reserved point. This prevents
Mrs. Hughes from recovering damages.
Her husband was fatally injured on
September S, l&ilO, while driving toward
Providence over the Carbon street
crossing. The view of the crossing was
obstructed by a freight train, the gates
were up, there was no watchman and
Hughes was run down and so badly
Injured that he died in the Lackawanna
hospital a few days later. David Y.
Jones, who was riding with him. was
badly Injured and recovered damages
umouiitiiig to $'.i7'i. His action also
rails with the decision of the supreme
court. Mis. Hughes was represented
i ii the trial by Major Kveielt Warren
and the company by Jessups & Hand.
Ml NKW TRIAL POK POTTO K.
The Judgment of the court below was
atlirined ill the case of lieolge W. Pot
ter, of Uunmore. against the .Scranton
Traction comnuny. A verdict of $100
was rendered In favor of the plaintiff,
which was virtually a victory for the
defendant. The supreme court was
uppeah-d to, but considers that the
verdict was a proper one and refuses
to set it aside.
n March an. xt:t, Mr. Potter, who
was In the meat business, was driving
down lniiiker street with u team of
holies and a butcher wagon. On
Hlukely street, 'M feet from the Intersec
tion id' iniiiker street, a fume of line
men were working repairing the wires.
They had an apparatus consisting of
ladders which slanted toward each
other at the top and Were Joined by
a platform on which the men stood
while at work on the w ires.
The ladders were placed in the car
tracks In the middle or the street. Mr.
Cotter drove down Hlakely street to
ward where the men were working and
his horses got frightened at the lad
ders. They ran away throwing him out
and Indicting very serious injuries. One
of his hips was broken and a Jawbone
was fractured.
TK1KD HEFOHK Jt'DOK LYNCH.
He tilled tin' company S"Y $;"U.OH0
damages. The r-ase came up before
Judge John Lynch, of W likes-Bane,
who especially presided here. Attor
neys Ward & Horn and I. H. Hums ap
peared for the plaintiff and Major Ev
erett Warren ami Jessups & Hand for
the defendant. It lasted ten days ami
a verdic t of luo was given In favor of
Potter
In the ejectment suit of Michael F.
and Mary K. Hundley against Mary
Harrett and John J. (iordon. a new trial
is refused. The plaintiff's purchased
a lot of ground from the Lackawanna
Iron and Coal company by a deed dated
Sept. 1". ISill. The defendants claimed
title to the land under adverse possess
ion nf It for more than 21 years. The
jury found a verdict in lavor of the
defendants.
A new trial wan granted in the suit nf
M. A. McCarthy against the estate of
Martin Scanlon. late of the West Side.
Lust October the supreme remi t hand
ed down rm opinion granting a new
trial in the suit of Isuac K. Felt a against
the Hchtware, Lackawanna, and West
ern railroad company, Caroline and Al
bert Hoysrailt, administrators of the
estate of Jacob Hoysradt. Mr. Feltz
brought an action to recover the value
of a one-hnl I Individual interest in a
plot of conl loud In Fcltzvllle, Lacka
wanna township. ,
The case was begun about live years
ago. and at one stage of It Mr. Feltz ap
plied for a change of venue to the
courts of Pike county. Judge Smith,
now on the superior court bench, re
fused to allow the case to go to Pike
county, and ordered It on the trial list
for trial. The reason for the applica
tion the plaintiff alleged was because
the lielaware, Lackawanna and West
ern owns so much wealth and employs
so inanv men that he could not get a
fair trial In this) county. On the day It
was set down, for trial the plaintiff re
fused to go on with the rune, and on
motion of the defendant' counsel a
jury was drawn and a verdict for the
defendunt was taken.
The supreme court reversed the lower
court for allowing this to be don?. The
proper wuy would be to move for a
nonsuit.

ing that wh-u they were ready to dis
close their purpose, which Would pio-'

would notify the newspapers. Senator
Hill will go to Norinandie-by-the-Sttt

According to Directory figures,
Which Are Always Nearly Correct.

The new Taylor's 1S9C Scranton di
rectory Is Issued and Is now being dis
tributed to subscribers. That an
nouncement would not nrdir.urly create
any great amount of interest, but in
view of the many things of Interest
contained in the figures of the issue
there Is much In the lx!ti directory to at
tract attention.
The directory contains the names of
oS,M:;ti persons in this city and Duiiinore.
Thut number multiplied by three, the
awruge of those In a family whose
names do not apcear in I lie directory,
gives a total of lfi.ous for Scranton and
Duiiinore. 'Deducting from that num
ber 9.000, a conservative estimate of
Dunmore's population aud there re
mnnlu 106.00S as a directory estimate
of Scranton's population. The national
census in 1S'.H was Tu.215.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
There Is a great Improvement In the
Scranton directory of 1SHC over that of
ISM. The most noticeable feature la a
block directory which accounts for ev
ery house number on all the streets and
gives the name of the temiauts. Where
a house is unoccupied that tuct is so
indicated.
Heretofore there has been 110 little
difficulty In properly compiling the
names of foreign-speaking residents.
This year, however, a Polander, Hun
garian, Italian and Oerinaii were em
ployed in soliciting the names of those
nationalities and In arranging them.
The result is a complete list of the foreign-speaking
residents for the Hist
time In the city's history.
In the book aie 71 pages. Last
year's directory contained but ur.o
pages. The Issue is bound In leather
and the heavy board covers ujv
printed In two colurs, red and blue,
while the back Is lettered lu gilt. With
cui'h directory is given a map of the
city, one compiled last fall and the
most recent anthracite map. The di
rectory may be found In directory offi
ces In all the large cities in the United
States.
About one hundred names In double
columns uppear on u page. There are
nine pages of "Jones," a common name
everywhere, and especially prevalent In
Scranton because of the lurge Welsh
population. "Williams" comes next
with eight pages. "Davis" and
"Davles" occupy seven pages. That
very ordinury name of "Smith" occupies
a position with four puges, while
"Brown" occupies about the same
space, of "Morgans" there are three
pages, it requires about two pages to
contain all the "Heeses." Thee are
no less than forty-seven "William Wll
llamses." The "lie's" are In great abundance,
there being no less than twenty-live
pages, or 2,500 of them. "S." "M" aud
"W" in the order named are the most
prevalent initial letters of family
names.
The directory Is the most complete
work of Its kind ever Issued In Scran
ton and fc the product of The Tribune's
job department. About 2,500 of them
ure being Issued but not fust enough to
supply the deniund.

The Fashion.
It BPemR to be the fashion In some
stores to charge as much as they ran for
a thing, no matter what It is worth. Now
we don't do that. We are not claiming
any extraordinary merit for ourselves,
We are simply honest. We sell furnish
ings for everyone. We sell for the man
who wants Ills tastes satisfied. Irrespec
tive of cost, and for the man who doesn t
want to spend his last cent for a tie. We
give satisfaction to each and all.
