After nn even four hours delibera tion the Jury In the case of Jnmes Gnvlgan ngalnst tho Atlantic Refining compnny came In nt 2.20 o'clock yes terday afternoon with a verdict for the Plaintiff In the sum of $1,286. At the former trial of the case a verdict of $400 for the plaintiff was rendered. An appeal was tnken and the superior court directed a new trial on the strength of errors In the charge1 of the trial Judge. O'llricn & Kelly, M. J. Donahoe and I. II. Burns, represented the plaintiff. The defense was repre sented by Watson, Dlehl, Hall & Kern merer. The case of 11. H. Burschell against tho Scrnnton Traction company was on nil day before Judge Gunster and will likely consume tho grenter part of to day. E. C. Newcomb and 1. II. Uurns are attorneys for tho plaintiff, and II. E. Hand and Major Everett Warren appear for .the compnny. The plain tiff's testimony yesterday was to the effect that on June 14, 1891, while driving across the intersection of Wyo ming avenue and Spruce street his wngon was struck and overturned by a Traction company, car, negligently run. He received n cut on his head, a couple of broken ribs and n fractured collar bone, he alleges, nnd these In juries have so affected him thnt ho has not been able to carry on, without hired help, ns before, his business of peddling milk and hauling coal. THEORY OF DEFENSE. The defense today will attempt to show thnt tho accident was due to Hurschells' own carelessness; that when a collision between the car and the wagon was threatened both stopped nnd then when the enr, nfter due sig nal being given, started up again Burschell also started up, nnd the two vehicles came together, much to the hurt of the wagon nnd Its occupant, The company will also attempt to show that Burschell was not injured ns seriously1 as he complains of, and that the statement of his being perm anently Injured Is an exnggeratlon. A verdict of 5CS.S4 wns entered In favor of the plaintiff In tho case of John Nancarrow ngalnst George W. Dunn, the defendant falling to appear. M. J. McAndrew represented the plain tiff. Dunn, who Is n painter, boarded with two of his men at Nancarrow's house while they were doing some work In Archbald. The men did not. settle for their board and the boarding boss sued Dunn for It, alleging that he had agreed to be security for them. A jury went out at 3.30 o'clock to find a verdict In the case of Isaac B. Felts against A. R, Fredel, which was tried before Judge Edwards. It Is a suit for rent, the tenant making clnim for an allowance for repairs which ho claims the fandlord authorized and the landlord making denial of this. John F. fecragg appeared for the plaintiff, nnd Hon. W. II. Stanton for the defense. In the case of Enos Flynn against Anna Barrett, tried Wednesday the jury, yesterday morning, brought In a verdict for the plaintiff. THE M'HUGH CASE. The case of A. J. McIIugh against the estate of Richard McIIugh, which Is brought to recover on nn $800 judg ment note given In 1377 was called be fore Judge Edwards Just before ad journing time. An effort was made by the attorneys for the defense to have It put over but court would not agree to this, and it will go on this morning. At the last trial of the case a verdict of $1,712.02 for the plaintiff wns tendered. The ptesent is n new trial decreed by tho superior court on tho strength of errors In the charge of the lower court. The case has quite an Interesting his tory. In October, 1877, a judgment note of $800 given to the late Richard Mc IIugh, sr., was entered In the Luzerne county courts. In March, lb'Jl, under tho law regulating the transfer of Judgments from the old county to tho new, the parties Interested In the case caused an exemplification of the judg ment to be made from the records In Luzerne county to those of Lackawan na county. Four years later, a sclr facias was Issued ngalnst tno execu tors of Richard McIIugh, deceased, to show cause why the judgment should not be revived against tho estate. This Is the case now on trial. The Judgment was assigned to Mary McIIugh, sister of Richard McIIugh, In 3K79, nnd In March, 1891, it was as signed to Anthony J. McIIugh, the present plaintiff. The defense claims that tho Judg ment has been paid; that Its pay ment was part of a general settlement between Richard McIIugh and his sis ter at tho time when she was the holder of the note. nil agreed that Richard McIIugh In consideration of tho cancellation of a $5,000 note and this $800 note, which his sister, Mary, held, he was to furn ish her with a home and give her $20 n month for the rest of her life, A contention strongly urged by tho de fense wns that If Mary had an $S00 note which was collectable she wiuld not have held It for so many years without executing upon It, considering as wns proven by a number of wit nesses that she was frequently In need of money during the period In question. In explanation of the fact that the note Rtlll exists It Is claimed by tho defense nnd substantiated by evidence that Mary wns frequently importuned by Richard to give up tho note, but sho tcfuscd, presumably holding It ns a lever with which to make Richard keep good his promise to support her. Among the attorneys who figured In the last trial of the case were: S. 13. Price, H. M. Hannah, Warren & Knapp and Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons for tho defense, and O'Brien & Kelly and Ward & Horn for the plutntlff. DR. NAMAR STILL IN COUNTY JAIL Advised by His Attorney Not to Talk About Ills Case for Publication.

WAITING FOR A FRIENDV Dr. Namnr remarked that he wns nble to get ball from several West Sldp physicians, members of tho County Medical society, but was waiting for the return to tho city of a personal friend who, unfortunately, 'eft hero Wednesday and was expected to re turn nt any tlno. This gentleman Is Dr. Nnmnr's only personal friend! In tho city, where he has no relatives and was unacquainted when ho located here. o WILL REPORT TOMORROW. County Detective Thomas Leyshon has succeeded In clearing up the mys tery surrounding the serious nnd pos sibly fatal wounding of Andrew No- vack, who was tnken to the Lacka wanna hospital with a fractured skull, by some of his countrymen one week ago yesterday. At the time it was stated by the per sons who brought him In that he had been overcome by mine gas. Dr. New berry thought the symptoms were pe culiar nnd an examination showed that the skull was fractured. Novack'e In other, when questioned about It, said that the wound had been caused by come unknown person, who hit An drew with a stone, thrown from am bush, while he wns passing through Prlceburg. This last story, like the first, Is now proven to be a dellbernte lie, by the county detective's investigation. No- vack llvel in the upper story c Jo seph Zmuaa's house, on Cherr street, Prlceburg. On Aug. 21, which was pay day at Johnson's, there was a crowd of a dozen men or so at Zmudn's hav ing a drunken jollification. Novack re monstrated and threatened to take steps to have them cease their dis turbance. They only laughed at him. Towards morning, when the crowd was dispersing, stones were thrown at the windows in Novnck's apartments. He rushed downstairs, and out In the road to demand an explanation of.the out lagc. Ho shouted out "What docs this mean?" For answer he received a vol ley of .stones, one of which struck him on the side of the head, Inflicting the Injury, which Is now feared will cause his death. Novack was unconscious for a week, nnd then rallied for a time. He took a relapse in a few days and for nearly two weeks was without medical at tendance. Finally Dr. Bellhelmer, who was called about the middle of last ntek, ordered him to be sent to the hospital. His condition now Is nbout the same as it was when he was re ceived a week ago. There is a pos sibility that he may survive, but the chances are the other way. No arrests have, as yet, been made, but it Is not unlikely that some of the nssailants will be behind prison bars before many daye. Dr. W. Donaldson H. Nnmar Is Rtlll nt the county Jail. Ho has the misfor tune of being a stranger In a strange land, nnd In consequence has no friend at hand who will furnish the $1,000 re quired by Miss Thompson's attorneys. Ills wife visited him frequently yes terday.consultlng about possible means of securing his liberty. Dr. Nnmar willingly received a Tri bune reporter at the Jail, but would not discus the case at any great length. Ills appearance and manner are very much In his favor and suggest the gentleman rather than the trliler Indi cated by the papers filed In the suit by Miss Thompson. He has been al lowed the freedom of the Jail since his arrest Wednesday and has slept In a room usually occupied by one of the keepers. Dr. Nnmar's attire nnd his manner of receiving The Tribune reporter were such ns might have been possessed by the usual man of professional calling. He was shown a copy of The Tribune containing the particulars of Miss Thompson's suit nnd was asked con cerning the allegations. TOLD TO SAY NOTHING. "I would like to talk with you," he began, "but my legal advisor has In structed me to say nothing. You will nppreclate my po<lon, I know, and do mo no Injustice." Pressed to give the name of his at torney, Dr, Namar said he had been told not to do so, to say nothing. It was later ascertained that the attorney Is Russell Dlmmlck. "By the wnv, there Is one point I will give you Information upon. The plaintiff's charges as they were pub lished lu nn afternoon paper yesterday put my wife In a very unenviable light. Understand, she Is my wife and has been lor live years, five years, bear in mind, and she Is my lawful wedded wife." This point was very emphatically stated by the physician and ho then responded more readily to a few of the reporter's questions. "Miss Thompson's father Is not a contractor and builder. He is a car penter and they live In moderate cir cumstances. The implication nbout my family, my parents, Is not correct; I have been ap orphan since I was six years old," said Dr. Namar. He re marked further that he had written her only a comparatively few letters In self-defense since he left New York city; that lie had not borrowed sums of money from her; that she had har assed him with letters and had sought other means to drive him from Hart ford and other points, and that he had Commissioners In tho Duumoro Con test Aro to lie Hcnr,d from. Commissioners It, II. Holgate and D. J. Riedy will tomorrow file their report In the Dunmoro contest. The nttor neys for either side have ton days In which to present their exceptions and then tho court begins to frame Its de cision. It will be well on townrds the holi days before tho result will be made known. Passengers for New York city should tako Lehigh Valley railroad.
