Jlrs. Susan V. Kent or whb yesterday
awarded a verdict of $I,G70,8;1 against
the Seranton Traction company.
Tlw Jury retired at 11. SO o'clock and
nt 3.30 o'clock leturned with the above
llndlriff and nn atllrmativo answer to a
special question submitted by Judge
McPhcrson as to whether or not tho
plaintiff's lnjurle were sustained
through the negllgeiit!ninner In which
the defendant company's employe han
dled the trolley pole which broke and
fell upon Mrs. Keator.
The reserved point is a new question
of law raised by Jessun & Jcssup, at
torneys for the company. When Mro.
Keator was injured she had a transfer
In hand anu was en her way to take a
ear. The trolley pole in being changed
broke in twain and ono end of it fell
upon her head and uhouldors indicting
permanent injuries. The defense con
tended that she was not a passenger
and could not legally sue as such. The
verdict rests on Judge McPherson's de
cision of this point.
When the Keator Jury had retired the
ease of Catherine Sweeney against the
Traction oompnny was taken up. V.
H. MeArnilf, of Wllkes-IJarre and T.
. Ilnlmn appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff. Jessup & Jessup represented
the deftnt'ant company,
Mrs. Sweeney was Injured In August,
IMC, 'iy being run down on Lacka
wanna uvenue near the Washington
avenue Intersection. She was crossing
the street in fn nt of Hengler's bak
ery coming from the south to tho north
side. A Taylor car struck her as she
was in the middle of the track knock
ing her down and dragging her for
some distance beneath the car. f-'he
was injured to bitch nn extent, she
claims, that JlO.OOfi would be small com-
perMUlnn for hrr. Kh and her wit
nesses claim that the motorman gave
no signal by rlncing the bell or any
other moans.
The defense Is that Mrs. Sweeney
emerged suddenly from behind a cov
ered Ice wagon and darted across the
track Immediately in front of the cur.
There was no negligence on the com
1 any's part, It is claimed, and Mrs.
Sweeney was guilty of contributory
negligence, because the accident did
not occur at a crossing.

Canuck n Chnrgu by tho Society loi

Tho case against H. W. Montgomery,

ton. Society for. the Prevention" of Cru-
city to Animals, wns tho crostecutor.
Ills ovldenco and thut ot others wnn
to tho effect that Mi;. Montgomery had
left his horso hitched to (i post In
Spruce street for nearly three hours
Monday afternoon, the nnlmtil being:
clipped and covered with only a small
blanket Which was constantly being
blown from its back and Bovorat times
replaced by pedestrians. They testi
fied that the horse shivered from cold
until taken by Patrolman Duggan to
'ocutt's stables.
Tho testimony bf Mr. Montgomery
and others waH that the wentltcr wns
mild above freezing on the afternoon
In question, that the horse wus not
cold, th'at tho covering was sufficient
nnd that the alienation of tho prose

Aldernmn Howe remarked that he
wished a better understanding of the
law on the matter before reaching a
decision.

CAN BOROUGHS
LEVY POLE TAX
Interesting Question Brotrltl Up Vestcr
day In Argument Ci!r.
POSTAL COMPANY AGAINST TAYLOR
Tho Borough Levied n Tux ol 91 on
Much Telegraph, Tnlephnno and
r.lectric Light Polo In the. Borough
nnd Now the Postal Tclearapli
Company Is Trying to Have That
Action Dcclnred llloual--Tlio Pel-lows-Smith
Case.
A case of Importance to the boroughs
of tho state of Pennsylvania was
argued yesterday morning in court, be
ing the case of the borough of Taylor
against the Postal Telegraph and Cable
company, n foreign corporation doing
business In the fltate of Pennsylvania.
The case was argued for the borough
by J. M. Harris, borough solicitor, and
tho defendant company was represent
ed by Watson & Zimmerman, Mr. Zim
merman making the argument for the
company.
The question raised in this case was
whether the plaintiff, in the-absence of
any express legislative grant and in
the absence of any agreement between
the parties, could Impose a fee or
charge upon the defendant for the care
and Inspection of Its telegraph poles
und wires.
The cuse was argued on exceptions to
the report of I. H. Burns, who was ap
pointed referee under the Act of 1869,
The referee decided that the borough
had the power under the general Act
of 1831 to Impose such a charge as a
compensation for the Inspection and
supervision of the wires and poles of
tho defendant; that this power was In
the nature of police power, which was
provided for by the genernl borough
law by necessary Implication.
The referee cited the case of the bor
ough of Bethlehem against the Penn
sylvania Telephone-company (4 North
ampton Reports, 389) and the case of
Millerstown against Bell (123 Pa. St.,
151). In these cases It was decided
thut an ordinance requiring n tele
graph company to pay a fixed price
for its poles fairly comes within the
police power over the streets given by
the Act of 1851.
ORDINANCE INVALID.
Mr. Zimmerman contended that the
ordinance wns invalid, that the con
clusions of the referee were wrong be
cause there was no express legislative
grant empowering boroughs to impose
a tax on telephone poles and telephone
wires, and that the sum of $1 per pole
was excessive and out of any propor
tion to the expense of maintaining such
inspection and supervision over said
poles and wires by the authority of the
borough; that the tax was not in point
of fact Imposed as a, compensation for
the Inspection and supervision of said
poles and wires, but that it was im
posed solely as a means of raising
revenue.
In answer to this, Mr. Harris for the
borough maintained that the amount
imposed upon the defendant as a com
pensation for the Inspection of its poles
and wires was not to be measured In
terms of the actual expense of making
such inspection; that the inspection
was actually made by the corporate
officers of the borough by its high con
stable and police, and that the liabil
ity of the borough for Injury to per
sons and damage to property was a
factor In its pol.'ce power to charge the
defendant with such a fee; that the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania pos
sesses the police power over her roads
and public highways, and, that when
this power is handed over to a munici
pal corporation, the municipal corpor
ation becomes the conservator of the
peoples' rights and must assume the
tesponsiblllty for Injury done to per
sons and property, whether that be
done by tho municipal corporation her
self or by corporations doing business
within her limits. The rights to do
business within the municipal corpor
ation Is not an absolute right but a
nuallfled right and Is subject to the
regulations of the particular muniei
pal corporation.
MERE COMPENSATION.
It was further contended by Mr. Har
ris that the sum charged by the ordl.
nance for the inspection and the ex
amination of the poles of tho defend
ant was not made In the nature of a
tax for revenue purposes, but that It
was a mere compensation for the pos
session and obstruction of its streets
and the occupation of its land; that
the ordinance was not in restraint of
trado that It was not unreasonable,
that it did not Impose a burden with
out a benefit; that it did not violate
any of the provlBlona of the constitu
tion of Pennsylvania but rather He.
rives its authority clearly and by
necessary implication from the consti
tution. Supremo court cases and some

NEIQflBORS IN COURT
Drfendunt in Olyphnnt Turns Up ns
Prosecutor In Hcrnnton.

variety nnd features was nlred in Al
derman Howe's court yesterday. Tho
prosecutor was Charles Stanton and
the defendants Mr. and Mrs. William
Elby and William Cotmen. All the

der $200 ball each to answer at court.

Great musicians use Kimballs. Th
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they aro
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano the
better I like it." Jean De Rcszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colore, from $250 to $350, on easy
term, and u term of lessons free.
