NEW TRIALS DENIED

Anxiously Awaited Decisions.
SOME INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS

Another Trlnl--Mhnt Warrants n
Jiulgo's Interference In tho Sub
mission ol n Cnso to a Jury.
Judge D. W. Searle, of Montrose.yes
tcrday hnnded down three opinions or
rules for new trials In cases In which
he specially 'presided in this county.
The cases weio A. C. Tunstnll against
J. P. Hauirelster and others, Mrs. nilen
O'Donnell ncalnst Chniles dtl Pont
Hreck nnd Kdwnrd Thayre against tho
Scranton Traction company. In tho
Hist case It was tho plaintiff who
sought a new trial and In the last two
the defendants were the movers. In
all three the rule for a new trial was
denied.
The case of Tunstnll ncalnst I!au
melster nnd otheis. It will be remem
bered, giew out of dissolution of the
St ns of America Publishing company.
Tho defendants, some dozen or so
prominent members of the P. O. S. of
A., who composed the publishing com
pany, claimed that they settled their
printing bill at tho Providence Itegls
tci plant by giving to J. U. Hopewell
the Sons of Amotion, together with Its
outstanding assets. Hopewell denied
that there was such an understanding
nnd further averred that he was not
the owner of tho Providence Register,
but merely an employe of W. C. Tuns
tnll, the real owner. Tunstnll's cffoit
to secure pav for the Sons of America
printing bill occasioned the Bult.
At tho first trial of the case, before
Judge Archbald, the plaintiff won. A
new trial was granted and Joseph
O'lirien was added to the legal an ay
oh tho defendants' side. Tho defend
ants won and then tho plaintiff made
application for a new trial. Judge
Searle lefuses to grant It, giving his
reasons as follows:
HIS OPINION NOT CHANGED.
W. C. Tunstall s. J. P. Uaumelstcr,
et nl.
rtulo to show cnuo why new trial
should not be granted.
Tho reasons assigned relato principally
to tho rejection of evidence off erred.
After an examination of tho case, I
am still of tho opinion that the evidence
off erred and rejected was not material
to the determination of tho Issues In tho
case, nnd that tho rulings upon tho of
fers were correct.
The other reasons assigned are that
there was error in refusing to nfllrm
plaintiff's points Nos. 3 and 0, without
qualification, and refusal to alllrm plain
tiffs sixth point.
The third and fifth points wero nfTirmcd
and the explanation nttactcd was prop
er to prevent mistake. Tho plaintiff's
sixth point wis not appllcablo to tho
real Issuo In tho case, and thercforo the
refusal to pass upon it was not error.
Rule discharged.
D. W. Seatle, P. J., Thirty-fourth dlst.
In refusing a new trial In tho O'Don-nell-Breck
cabe Judge Searle submits
a lengthy and elaborate opinion, going
Into an Interesting discussion of the
circumstances warranting the Inter
ference of tho trlnl Judge In tho sub
mission of a case to the Jury.
He first sketches a history of the case,
which briefly Is as follows: Mis.
O'Donnell wnntcel to secure a piece of
property on Washington avenue and
spoke to Mr Preck about getting It for
her. He informed her some time later
that it could bo purchased for $10,000
and she gave him $300 Instructing him
to becuie It. Later she learned that the
propel ty was on the market for $14,
C00 and she demanded the return of her
$500. Mr, Breck refused to give It back
saying It had been given him to apply
as part pajment on the lot, which his
firm, Breck & Reynolds, controlled.
She said she gave the $500 to him, vv ith
the understanding that he was to act
as her attorney. He Insisted he was
simply acting as a real estate agent
and she persisted that he had been en
gaged as attorney and after a lengthy
argument Mr. Preck gave her back
$JG0 saying, as she alleges, "If you
don't take that you will get nothing."
Sho answered as she accepted It: "I
will tako this but will follow you for
the rest." The check for $260 was
marked "In full settlement of all mat
ters up to date."
After outlining the cause of action
and the claims of both sides Judge
Searle goes on to say:
RULES DO NOT APPLY.
Tho learned counsel for defendant urged
upon the hearing of tho rule ithat in this
case tho acceptance by the plaintiff of
tho check for $2oO. containing tho state
ment that it wat in full settlement of all
matters to date," nnd tho obtaining tho
money upon it by her endorsement, was
In effect an agreement In writing which
should requlro tho samo rules as to tho
modification of It as aio applied to all
written agreements.
I do not think the rules Invoked ap
ply to this transaction; the acceptanco of
tho check under the circumstances testl
fled to by tho plaintiff did not have tho
legal effect of making tho check, with
tho endorsement upon It, a written agree
ment of settlement of the matters In dis
pute. Tho weight of ovldenco wouW appear to
bo in favor of the claim of tho defend
ant, that tho oheek of $2u0 was given and
received in full settlement of these mat
ters In dispute. Mr. lircck, tho defendant,
and his partner. Mr Reynolds, both ti&tl.
fy tha.t It was and tho plaintiff, Mrs.
O'Donnell, testifies that It was not.
Tho positive testimony of plaintiff ne
cessitated the submission of tho case to
tho Jury.
Upon tho trial Judge rests tho duty of
determining the law appllcablo to tho caso
and Instructing the Jury as to the same,
as to tho burden of proof, and tho facts
necessary to bo found by them in de
termining their verdict. The law casts
upon tho Jury tho duty of finding tho
facts, under tho evidence admitted and
tho Instructions of the Judge, Tho entlro
twelve Jurors aro required to agree to tho
findings of fact necessary to render a
verdict, and when the trial Judgo has
made no mistakes In his rulings as to (he
law applicable to tho case, and has ade
quately Instructed tho Jury as to tho
causa and tho facts necessary to bo
found by them In order to render a ver
dict, tho setting aside of thtir verdict and
granting a new trial, slmfly upon the
ground that the Jury have found the facts
differently from what the trial Judgo
would, had he been acting as a Juror,
would practical bo abrogating trial by
Jury.
TWBLVn HEADS BETTER THAN ONE
When tho ovldenco is conflicting tho
Jury must ultimately determine tho ques
tions of fact; they are Intelligent men
accustomed to deal with business affairs
and as competent to extract tho truth
from tho ordinary conflict of evidence, or
misunderstanding of parties, as the trial
Judge.
The right of tho trial Judge to set wide
their verdict and grant a new trfal Is
unquestioned and where It appears that
manlfwt error hna been committed either
In his rulings or Instructions, or by tho
Jury, or when tho Jury have been misled
by tho Instructions, or misunderstood tho
same, such power should bo exerclfcd, but
when tho questions at Issuo have been
fairly nnd correctly submitted and tho
Jury havo deliberately determined tho
questions of fact which they aro alone em
powered to do, their conclusions will not
bo legally set aside.
In this c;iso thoro Is no reason to sup
pose that the Jury woro misled by tho In
structlon or that they failed to under
stand tho Issues, nnd tho effect to bo
given tho evidence relating thereto. Buch
being the caso nnd tho Issues being en
tirely for tho Jury, I do not feel at liberty
to disturb their verdict. Rule discharged.
Hy tho court.
D. W. Soirlc, P. J.,
Thirty-fourth District, Presiding.
Edward Tliayne, on Jan. 5, 1S93, was
riding on tho rear platform of a Prov
idence car when it collided with anoth
er car coming in nn opposite direction
near tho Diamond Flnts power house.
Ills back was Injured by his being
thrown against a sharp corner and in
his pult for damages tho Jury allowed
him $S50. The defendant asked for a
new tilal on tire ground that the trial
Judgo eired In refusing to give binding
Instructions to tho Jury to find that
Thayno was guilty of contrlhutaiy neg
ligence by reason ot his riding on tho
platform when there wero vncant seats
Inside, and could not recover damages.
After quoting1 a raft of decisions ap
pllcablo to tho case In point and Jus
tice Agnew's definition that contribu
tnry negligence Is that which ro-oper-ntes
In producing the injury, not mere
ly tho loss, Judge Searlo finds:
CONTRIBUTARY NEGLIGENCE.
Whllo tho decisions of tho supremo
court of Pennsylvania hold that tho rid
ing upon tho platform of a car when
thero Is room to obtain seats Insldo Is
negligence, tho question of whether such
ncgllgenco contributed to the Injuries
received must always bo a question of
fact, and when such fact Is uncontro
verlblo from tho evidence, binding In
structions' should be given. In tho caso
at bar, whllo thero wele vacant seats In
tho car, which tho plaintiff should have
occupied, nnd he was negligent In not
going in tho car nnd sitting down, tho
question was whether such ncgllgenco
contributed to tho Injury received. Tho
collision was between two cars on tho
samo track, plaintiff's position upon tho
i ear platform was farther from tho point
of collision than If lib had been In his
proper seat In tho car, parties In tho car
wero Injured nnd thoro Is nothing In the
evidence to show that tho plaintiff was
In a moro dangerous position than If he
had been In his proper place. Under
these circumstances I thlnkStho question
was propei ly left to tho Jury.
Rule discharged.
D. W. Searle, P. J., Thirty-fourth dlst.
IN THE JURY'S HANDS.
Closing Arguments in the Jennings Case
and the Charge of the Court-Tbc
Two Ejectment Cases.
Once more a jury Is out wrestling
with the Jennlngs-Lehlgh Valley case.
Judgo Seaile finished his charge at
noon vesterday and when the Jury re
tired those about court conjectured an
early verdict. At midnight the jury
was still out and tlie fact that they
had not retired Indicated that no agree
ment had been reached.
Major Warren mado tho closing ar
gument to the jury for the defense and
his colleague, Mr, Burns, argued the
law points to the court. He succeeded
In sccutlng Judge Searle's concurrence
in two Important matters, one that tho
plaintiff could not legally claim com
pensation foi services rendered to tho
lnjuicd boy by tho mother and other
immediate members of the household,
and ngaln In arriving at the loss of
wages the Jury wouid have to tako
Into consideration the number of days
tho mines have worked hereabouts and
not the number of possible working
dovs in the year.
Mr. Mahon, In closing for the plain
tiff, grew grandiloquent in his arraign
ment of corporations "that have not
heaits to be lacked or souls to be
damned," and pleaded with the Jury
that when it hael an opportunity to
make the heartless, souless thing
known as a corporation, respect the
rights of the individual It should not
be remiss In its duty even as much as
a hairsbreadth. The thiee speeches
and Judge Searle's charge occupied ex
actly three hours.
The Juiv in tho caso of John Flack
against Bridget Kenney and Mary
Kenney came in nt the opening of
court with a verdict for the defend
ant. The suit was to secure possession
of a lot of land in the Third ward of
this city.
The case of Elmund Gumaer against
Pardon T. Barber was given to the
jury at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
H. S. Smith, James Eckerslv, Wil
liam P. Evans, Thomas Mullen and
William Stevens were empanelled as a
Jury to inquire into the sanity of Ann
Mullen before Judge Edwards, yester
day. They found that she Is a lunatic
without lucid Intervals, and that her
only Income is a pension of $8 a month.
DIQ SPECTACULAR COMPANY.
Will Hold tho Hoards for Three Dnvs
nt Davis' Theatre.
On Monday next, beginning with tho
usual matinee, tho oelebrated Everett
and Maiks, Wood Sister's big spec
tacular burlesque, will hold sway for

costumes, and some of tho best come
dlans and vaudeville acts ever seen In
Scranton. One of tho features of this
company Is the big local burlesque,
"The King of the Isle of Scranton,"
and It Is said it affords a great scope
for local lilts.
The star part Is played by Mr. Bobby
Mack, who resides In this city.
THE FELTS-HOYSRADT CASE.
Local Court, It Is Alleged, Acted
Without Jurisdiction.
In tho caso of Isaac B, Felts against
Hoysrodt and others, Judge Archbald
yesterday granted a rule to show cause
why tho non-suit entered for non-appearance
should not bo stricken off.
Tho reasons given In the motion for
the rule by A. Rlcketts and E. Herri
field, attorneys for Mr. Felts, are that
tho case had been duly removed to
Pike county under tho act of 1834, and
that the local court was' without Juris
diction to proceed in any way in the
matter.

HER LONG-LOST SON
FOUND IN SHAMOKIN
lias Dccn Living There for Nearly Quar
tcr of n Century.
YET SHE SUPPOSED HIM DEAD
Mrs. John Ash, Whoso Hoy Wns Taken
Awiiy by Ills .Undo Twenty-Tour
Vonrs Ago and from Whom Sho
Never Heard During All This Time,
Learned That He Is Altvo nnd Well
nnd Will Go nnd Soo Him Monday.
Mrs. John Ash, living with her sec
ond husband at 112 Mica street, yes
terday received a latter from her son,
John, who 24 years ago, when only 4
years old, left her and since that time
has been mourned as dead. He is at
Shamokln and Is matrled and the fath
er of two children. Tho case, though
not a dlicot kidnapping as reported, Is
as Mr. Ash said last night, "tho next
door to It."
In 1875, when tho boy was in his
foutth year, his father, John Jones,
dlod at Petersburg wlnre the family
lived. Tho news was sent to Thomas
Jones, brother of tho deceased, whri
lived at Shamokln and two dnys after
the funeral he ranched the city. Mrs.
Jones, tho widow, had two children to
look after, or.o a two-year-old girl,
the other the boy John. Mr. Jones, the
uncle, offered to school and "bring up"
the boy and it ssoms permission was
freely granted.
BOY TAKEN AWAY.
Ho took tho boy back to Shamokln
and that wns the la3t seen of htm by
his mother. Six months afterward tho
widow married John Ash, a blacksmith
at tho Dickson woiks. Mr. Ash sent
several letters to Shamokln Inquiring
for th boy but no answer whatever
was lecelved. Last Sunday night, John
Thomas, a West Scranton tailor, re
turned from Shamoklr. and at once
went to the Ash hou3o on Mica street.
Ho lnfotmed Mis. Ash that her son was
living. A daughter of Thomas Joneu
had eilsclosed the secret of John Jones'
parents and asked that v. hen Mr.
Thomas returned to Scranton ho would
tell the mother of her son's eclsteno"
Thomas accidentally mentioned that he
wus going to Scranton and sh at onco
fald: "If you do me the favor I ask I
will never forget you." T..omos prun
Jstd and sho told him the story. The
girl is 19 years old.
Mrs. Ash, when sho heard that her
son was alive, requested Mr. Thomas
to s.'nd a letter to his brother who in
turn would ask John Jones to write
borne. The letter, which came yester
day, begins with "-My Dear Mother"
nnd ends "your son, William John
Jones," which Is his full name. He
says that he Is glad to find his mother
nnd gives a little of his history. He Is
a miner nnd tells how one of his chil
dren died this month.
TO GO TO SHAMOKIN.
Mrs. Ash and her maided daughter,
who was two years old at the tlmt of
the boy's departure, will go to Shamo
kln Monday to see John Jones. To a
Tilbune reporter last night sho said
that the uncle took the boy "but," she
said, "ho promised to let me see him
by the Tourth of July." Her marriage
to Mr. Ash may have caused the uncle
to lgnor; the letters. "And," slid Mrs.
Ah, "heie he tells me about him now
after he is grown up and can be of no
benefit to me and he (the uncle) has
got It all."
Mr. Ash said that at the time of the
sending of th letters he saw an attor
ney who advised him to go to Shamo
kln and get the boy. This was never
attempted.
