At 3 15 jestoidny afternoon the Su peilor couit disposed of all of the cases that were ready foi aiKument tills week and adjourned until Monday nun nlng net at 10 o'clock. When com t reconvened jesteidnv nioinlug Attorney John V. Sciagg made the concluding niguinent in the matter of n public load In Jefferson township. The appeal of the Atlantic Kenning company fiom a veidlct ob tained by James Gnvlgnu in the com mon pkas totii t of this county was then henttl. Mr. Clavlgan owns a houu HON. CHARLES E RICI2, President Judge of the Superloi Court ot Pennsjlvnnla. at 1013 Capouse avenue, where he re sides with the members ot his fnmil. A short distance nvvnj aie the storage tanks of the Atlantic Refining com pany. Mr Gnvigan allegtd thnt the smell fiom the refining company's plant and the petcolatlng of oil through the giound had gieatly damaged his piopeity and a. jui in common pleas couit awarded him a eidlct of $470 S4. Tiom tills, iid!ct the defendant ap pealed. Hon. W. AV. Watson nppeaied foi the Refining company and nigued that on the trinl of the case the plaintiff did not pioduce an evidence that vvai rant ed the couit below in submitting the case to the juiy. He maintained that it eried in so doing. He said It was not denied that theie is to some ex tent the smell of leflned keiosene oil about the appellant's piemlses, but the odor Is not offensive or injuilous. Ml Watson then caietullj went over all the Impoitant decisions beating upon the case and made a stiong aigument to show- that the plnintlff Is not liable in nn action foi damages. In conclud ing, he said: "Relieving as we do that the final de cision of this case is of vast Impoitance to the business Intel ests of this city as well ns other cities in the common wealth, we have deemed it pioper to make our aigument of considerable length " ARGUMENT Or MR BURNS. Attornej I. II Burns aigued the case fiom Mr Gavlgan's point of view. He told the couit that the waste oil and lefuse ft om the leflning company's plant had satuiated the soil about the appellee's house and has sei louslv af fected the health and comfoit of the appellee and his family. "That the plaintiff suffpied paiticu lar injtny is plain to be seen," contend ed Mi. Bums. "This Is not nn action for the suppression oi nbatement of a nuisance, but sltnplj for the damage sustained by the plaintiff. Counsel for appellant excuses the length of the ar gument on account of the nst 1m poitnnte to the business Inteiests of this clt) as well as other cities of the commonwealth ' This soenks well for the pattlotlsm and phlhinthiopy of the learned counsel, but we do not undei stand that thesq 'vast Interests' have exhibited any undue alaim over the piobablllty that the Atlantic Refining company may hnve to pay $470 SI, or that the) have taken any steps to get themselves upop the lecoid oi to em ploy counsel to defend theli lights and piopeity.. When they do It will be time enough for this couit to consider them 'Sufllclent unto the day Is the evil theieof.' 'He that goetli out after tiouble is not wise ' " The case of J. M. Tompkins against the Scianton Tiaotlon compnn, appel lant, from the common pleas of this county, was aigued at some length Oh Jan, 12, 1S94, Mr. Tompkins and ills son were diivlng to their home in Clieen Ridge and in endeavoring to ctoss the Capouse avenue cai Hack, near Lai eh stieet, he was lun Into by a ttolle) cai. The wagon was vv locked and Tompkins and son tin own out and Injuied. The elder Tompkins biought suit to lecovei damages foi Injutles he sustained and was aw aided $200 by the 1ui. Fiom this verdict an appeal was taken When the case was tiled in the county couits the tilal Judge was asked to t.ay that Tompkins lind been guilty of tontilbutoiy negligence, but ne de clined to do so. QITHSTION AT ISSUH. Attorney Horace n. Hand made the utgiitiunt on behalf of the Traction eompanv, and mnlntnned that the question to be decldtd was whether xv hen a pel son d lives on a finck of a stieet nillway and Is immediately stiuck hj a car he Is guilty of such contilbutoiy negligence ns will pie ent a recoveij. He held that the law on the point is well nettled and Is as follows "It is the duty of a tiavelei nbout to dilvo acioss n street railway to look and listen for an nppioachlng car, and to btop, if necebsaiy, at the edge of the tiack, and his neglect to do so is negligence per se " In con cluding, Mr Hand said: "We respect fully submit that the vcidjet was based upon lnsufticlent testimony which was wiongfully submitted to the Juiy. and the judgment should bp reveised " Attorney S B, Pi Ice, who piescnted the argument on the part of the plain tiff, Tompkins, asked that the judgment of the lower couit be nflluned foi the leabon that the tar was going at u i ate of spfced that was not safe at the time of the accident and that the cai did not have a pioper headlight so that its approach might bo readily dis cerned. Another case .argued yesterday was C, C. Steele against D, K. Oakley, ap pellant, from the common pleas of this county.
