It wnt Judge Kdwurds' Held du,
jesterdnv. He tendered three linpoit
Hiit, leriRthy niul very IntereMinic opln
lnni In addition to pus-dun upon a
number of minor lnutteis.
One opinion decides that the failure
In take out a. murrintre license does not
Invalidate a marriage, although law
m'b no pernon shall be Joined In rnar
llagp until a license to first granted.
In nnother opinion he iefues to strike
off the non-suit In the famous FcltK
Dolaware, Lackawanna and Western
c ns-e, and In a (hlrd opinion lie refuses
11 new trial In the case of Ouvlgun
against the Atlantic Refining com
pany. The opinion on the tnaiiiage license
matter uus on the exceptions to the
tepott of the auditor In the estate of
Martha Wesecker, deceased, and Is as
follows
The testatrix died JeuvhiK peisonul
property to the amount of about $700,
which she bequeathed to her four chil
dren, share and share alike. Her hus
band, surviving her, elected to take his
statutory share ugalnst the will The
auditor allowed his claim. The except
ants contend that the auditor was In
error for the reason that there was no
valid marriage existing between Levi Ule
sccker and the decedent. It was admit
ted at the hearing and the auditor has so
found, that no marriage license was Is
sued before the marriage was solemnized
lie also llrrds that the parties were mar
r led by a minister of the Christian
church. In Lackawanna county, Pennsyl
vania, til September, 1894 Ills conclusions
of law on this question are that the mat
llage was valid and that the omission
to secure license required by the act of
.lime 2J, 1S')3, did not fender the marriage
void. We are of tire opinion that the'
auditor was correct and that the hus
band's claim was propellv allowed
PROVISIONS OF ACT OF 1885.
The act of 18S1, accoidlng to Its title
relates to marriage licenses and pro
vides for officers to Issue licenses for
parties to marry. Section 1 savs that
"No person, within this commonwealth
shall be Joined In marriage until a li
cense shall have been obtained for that
puipose." It then proceeds to prescribe
tlio form of cretlllcates, the method of
obtaining the license and of keeping the
records, the duties of patents and guar
dians and the penalties on officers and
ministers who fall to comply with the
rtgul.itlon of the net A penalty of one
hundred dollars is Imposed on the min
ister, Justice or other officer who shall
solemnize a marriage leremorry without a
license having been first obtained by the
parties marrying. Nowhere In the act Is
It stated that such a marriage shall be
void. It Is true that according to the
first section no persons shall be joined In
marriage without a license, but this
phrase may refer to the act or the per
son solemnizing the marriage as well as
to that of the pel sons about to marry.
The expression Is much too weak arid
Insignificant to indicate a legislative In
tent to declare a matiiagp invalid ir
performed without a license.
Statutes regulating the celrbiatlon of
marriages have been Invariably eonstrutd
so as to uphold the marriage relation
whenever possible Bishop, in his work
on ".Marriage and Divorce," Vol. I, Sec.
I-'I, says: "It has become established in
authority that a marriage good at the
common law. Is good notwithstanding the
existence of anj statute on the subject,
unlets the statute contains Express words
of nullity." Justice Strong in the case of
Melster vs Moore, V S 70, at the
conclusion of an elaborate opln!6n. says
"In 'tho absence of a positive statute de
claring that all marriages not estab
lished In the manner therein pi escribed
shall bo void, any marriage regularly
made according to tho common law with
out observing the statutory regulations
Is a valid marriage." Marry authorities
might bo cited which, establish this same
principle, but we consider the question so
well settled that further citation Is un
necessary. VALIDITY OF JIARRIAGK.
The exceptants make another point
touching the validity of this marriage
They claim that there was no legal proof
of a marriage before the auditor: that
the contract was not proven, that there
was no evidence of subsequent cohablta
t on nor of reputation, It Is shown In
(he testimony that the minister who per
formed the marriage ceremony was dead
the certificate of marriage was offered In
evidence, tho signature of the minister
being proven, and two witnesses testify
whb were present at the wedding This
is prime facie proof of a valid marriage
The auditor's conclusion on this question
U correct.
The exceptions to the leport of the
auditor are overruled. The report Is
confirmed finally and distribution is oi.
dered In accordance therewith,"
iX the Felts case the opinion Ls wilt
sarcastic. To understand It one muat
know that the Supreme court previ
ously refused a charge of venue to
Pike ccJunty. The opinion leads:
This cnVe war. on the trial list lust Hep.
teniber tetm ard was separately called.
I ho defendants were present demanding
trial. The plaintiff declined to go on with
lire crse and i non-sult was thereupon a.
lowed as prescribed by act of assembly
?le, ' ' uiJVequently framed to take
off this non-sultV
Uefore the no-suil was ordered the
p alntlff by his cmnsel (Aglb RIcU-tts)
Hied a paper objeewng to the Jurisdiction
of the court and tiylmlng tlrut trial oy
this court would he cWam nun Judlco and
of no avail and specifying the reasons
why tho court had noxjurlsdlctloii. Tire
paper filed er.ds thus: "For these rea
sons, the plaintiff understanding that a
trial In this court woulcKbe coram iron
Judlce and void, he decllneAto iippoar and
no to trial lr thja case. ,
The reason assigned foT theWant t Jur
isdiction is that tho plalntirrVn tho loth
day of September, 1SW, fllrtl rls motion
iblllig (Sensations, lc., when llieno
to remove his cause to Pike county under
the provisions of the act of April It, 1S1I,
P L. ."IB.
ONK ANSWER CITED.
On the argument of the rule to take ort
the non-sult the only ground assigned
was the' want ot jurisdiction.
Our answ-'f to the argument is to bo
found In the case of Felts vs. the Deli,
ware. Lackawat.na and Western Rail
ro'id lomp.tny, 170 Pa V.2, lire same caso
that Is now before us. It will be t-een at
once that wo are asked to .lit In iudgment
upon the decision of the Supreme court
lu this case It might be a pleasant va
l lotion of ludiclal work for a court of
common pleas to exercise appellate jur
isdiction over the Judgments ot our Su
preme court, but, with becoming mod
eft.v. we shall allow the appellate ttlb
um'il Itself to change or modlfv Its own
Judgments, wheiirver II feels called upon
to exeiclse tnat high privilege.
The rule to take oft the non-sult Is lis
(barged In the Uavlgan ease the proceedings
were brought to lecover damages for
lnjuiles occasioned In thb alleged neg
ligent inunner In which the defendant's
oornpany'H wotks are conducted. A
verdict of SS00 was awnided at the
first trial and at n rettlal of the case
In the September sessions of last year
the award was Inn eased to $1,2SC. The
opinion discharging the iuIp for another
new trial Is In part ps follows:
It was seriously contended bv defend
ant's counsel that thete was no tangible
testimony Upon which the jury could
assess damages Let us look at the facts.
The properties of plaintiff and defendant
are near each other. The plaintiff pur
chased his house and lot about fourteen
years ago, and has occupied it ever since
A few years afterwards the defendant
erected on Its property an oil establish
ment for the purpose of receiving, stor
ing and distributing oils of various kinds,
The. business carried on by the defendant
waff an extensive one The plaintiff
claimed that the soil of his land was sat
urated with oil escaping from the de
fendant's plant, and percolating tlnough
JJie Intervening lots, reaching his cellar,
thut the odots and smoke from defend
ant's works were unwholesome and of
fensive, and of such a character that
the plaintiff had to close the windows and
doots of his house in summer, and that
the effects ot thee offensive odors upon
his health was dilutions causing nausea
arid loss of appetite
INSTRUCTIONS TO Jl RY
Aie these such substantial Injuries as
would entitle the plalntirt to damages''
On this point we Instructed the jury In
these wolds: "In the course of the pio
gress of the development of a town like
Scranton one must expect Inconveniences
and discomforts Smoke stacks, smoke
and odors are necessarily incidental to
ithe opeiation of manv of the industries
ot the city The smoke and odois ascend
Into tlie alt and Impregnate it The com
rminltv at large suffers some Inconven
ience and annoyance on account of till
Hut such Inconvenience and annoyance
must be endured by the public without
redress No damages can be recovered
bj anybody under such conditions The
Individual must sacrifice some comforts
for the sake of the geneial welfaie. Nor
can any person recover damages If his
personal .preferences as ro choice or resl-
uence are interfered with. A livery st.i-
me a saloon or a distillery
may be lo- '
. and would ,
t and valuP
cated next to one's residence,
naturally diminish Its comfort
but the owner would be without redress
so far as mere proximity is concerned
At the same time - the business Is so
conducted as to affect the reasonable use
of adjoining property or tue health of Its
occupants, such tangible and substantial
injuries might sustain tin action for dam
ages. So that to enable a plaintiff to re
cover damages In a ease such as we are
now trying, It must be shown bj the
fair weight of the testimony that he has
suffered actual and substantial injury,
peculiar to himself, either In the lcasou
able and necessury use of his home, oi
in his health and phvsiclal eomfou. Are
you satisfied that such InJuiy has been
shown In this case'' If you are satisfied
that such InJuiy lias been shown, is it
to be attributed to the business can led
on by the defendants or to the manner
In which this business Is to be con
ducted?' Some of the expiesslons In this extract
from the court are taken from the opin
ion of the court In the case of Robb vs
Carnegie, If, Pa.. 324. And under all the
evidence we do not think the amount of
me veruicr is unreasonable or excessive
fused
