A compulsory non-suit was yesterday
Bi anted ty Judge McPhercon In tho
iase of Cathcrliif Sweeney npnlnst the
Scranton Ti action company, .lessup &
Jfisup, attoini'j'B for the dufcrihc, con
tended tlmt the plaintiff own evidence
showed her to he guilty of contrllm
tojy negliKenco under the new inllnR
of the Supremo couit, tlmt a person
.iuBlng a street car track must ob
serve the tame caution as If crossing
a steam lalhoad track, that Is, .-top,
look and listen. It wan also held that
there was no jiegllKonno on the pait of
the compatu ; that Mrs. Sweeney came
suddenly fiom behind a lingo covered
he wagon In the middle of a Mock and
darted dliectlv lu tlio path of an on
coming car; that, In a wotd, alio ran
Into the car, minor tlmn that the tar
ran Into her.
Judge Mdl'hcrson sustained these
contentions and rill cited a compulsory
lion-suit to enter In doing so, he said.
"It Is impossible to not feel a eiy
sincere sympathy for this unfortunate
plaintiff who ha undoubtedly been
severely Injured by this deplniable oc
currence As I undei stand the decis
ions of the Supieme couit there Is no
choice left to me except to enter a
compulsory non-suit lu this case upon
the giound of contiibutory negligence.
It i.s possible, of course, that a more
critical examination of the testimony
after it tomes to be wiltten out might
lead to n different conclusion, and wo
will entertain a motion to take It off,
and we will then be able to consider it
with more care "
The motion to strike off the non-suit
was made by tho plaintiff's attorneys
and a rule to show cause why It should
not be stiicken off was allowed.

One of the jurors, James Snee, of
Simpson, was not on hand when court
opened and a delay of nearly an hoiir
wafa caused. After waiting this length
of time and theie being no signs of
Snee, It was agreed that the case
should proceed with eleven men. The
missing juror ai rived about noon and
when called before the court explained
that he went to rittston last night and
was not able to catch a train that
would get him back hero in time. Judge
McPherson lectured him for his negli
gence, telllnc him his first duty was
towards tho court, and then directed
the clerk to knock off a clay's wages
from Sir. Snee's jury fee.
The city and the Scranton Traction
company weio co-defendants in tho
next suit called, that In which Giles
Stanton, of South Ablngton, sues for
$10,000 damages for a broken leg, sus
tained by his wagon being overturned
on a snow bank on Capouse avenue In
February, 1S93.
It appeals that there was a heavy
fall of snow about a week before the
accident. The street nm mmnnnv'a
sweeper made a sort of ditch through
the center of the road and the city in
clearing Its gutters and sidewalks
piled more snow on that thrown up
by the sweeper and In consequence
there was a. high rounded mound on
the loadway.
"WAGON UPSHT.
The plaintiff. In attempting to diivo
across tho street on a load of hay, had
an upset nnd falling violently upon
t:- cleared space between the tracks,
susiwlned a fracture of the thigh bone
of the left leg. Vailous witnesses told
of the condition of the street at tho
time of the nccldent and Dr. N. C.
Mackey, of AVmetly, testified that
Stanton's injuiy would have permanent
III effects. The plaintiff was still en
gaged in showing the dangerous con
dition of the joad when couit ad
journed. The defense will ask for a compul
sory non-suit on tho grounds that
Stanton tipped over nt this very same
place onlv a lew dajs before he was
lnjuied and under tlio law was guilty
of contributory negligence by his per
formance If an act that ho kr"w was
dangerous.

DIQ ASSUMPSIT SUIT.
n. W. William Demnndi 911,700
from tho Dolpli Kdnto.
Jtlchaid It. Williams began a suit in
assumpsit yesterday against Isaao P.
Hand and Edward Dolpli, executors of
the estate of Edward Dolpli, deceased,
to recover JU.700 on a contract In con
nection with the opening and develop
ing of tho Anna Hell coal tract, owned
by the estate.
Ho alleges that lie entered into an
agreement with the deceased to open
and develop the tract and was to re
ceive llvo cents for every ton of mar
ketable coal mined. There have been
231.000 tons mined during the two and
a half years that the tract has been
opened and there Is now owing to him,
according to the terms of the agree
ment, tho sum sued for, tll.700. The
defendants, he says, totally Ignore his
claim. Vosburg & Dawson ate his at
torneys. NEW TIME TABLE FOR VALLEV ROAD.
Scrvlcoi ot Twenty. Novon Crows Will
He Disiicnird With.
Sunday a now time-table will go Into
effect on the Lehigh Vnlley railroad,
which will make some radical changes
along tho lino of that road, particular
ly In the Hazlcton legion. On that day
the lease of the Poltsvllle nnd Shen
andoah division fiom the Pennsylva
nia Itallroad company will be aban
doned and tho Valley tialns taken off
between theso points.
Ever since (President AVnlter took
hold his policy has been tetienchinent,
which was confined lit Ht to a indue
tlon in the force of rlciks nnd agents,
but which will now etend to tho tall
joadeis themselves, many of whom will
he out of woik aftei the abandonment
of their tialns. When this new tlme
tulilo goes into effect twenty-seven
trews on the whole sjstem will be sus
pended. This means at least the sus
pension of 130 tiaiumen, including on
glnei'i.x, conductors, baggagemasters
and brakemen.
Tho reason for a number of these
changes Is attributed to the introduc
tion of the trolley lines, many of which
have been recently built and parallel
the railroad for a long distance. This
Is especially so in the coal regions.
The different towns are now connected
with a tiolloy line, and ns the faro is
generally cheaper than it Is by the
steam railroad the trolley lines secure
the bulk of the business.
It is not the Intention of President
Walter to cripple the passenger ser
vice of tho lailroad, for whenever there
is a demand for a tialn and It can bo
shown that It will be to the advantage
of tho mlh'oaci company to put it into
service it will bo done. Hut the run
ning of a large number of trains to ac
commodate a few, and at a loss, Is to
bo done away with.

KANE A CRACK BOXER.
lie's tho Pacific Const Champion.
Will Meet Hobby Dobbn.
Although not geneially known to
Scinnton's sporting fiaternlty, I3ob
Kane, of San Fiancisco, who Is to meet
Hobby Dobbs lu a 20-round boxing con
test at Music Hall next Wednesday
night. Is one of tho most promising
boxers who evei came oast fiom the
Pacific coast. He reached New York
city last August with the Pacific coast
lightweight championship Ho had
soveial matches closed and others In
prospect, but a biokcn ankle prevented
him fiom meeting any of his engage
ments except with Hilly Steffets, of
Troy, who was defeated by Kane In
eight lounds.
Kane's confidence In his own ability
is attested In his willingness to go ns
many us twenty rounds against ns in
vincible a man as Dobbs. Dobbs bald
ly knows what defeat means and the
same applies to Kane, so a rattling
contest may be expected. Kano has
a stile of fighting like McAullffe,
Dixon, Lavlgne and other good ones
who aio always working nnd always on
the offensive. He will be heie tomor
iow with his trainer and will show
Scrnntonlans what he can do,
What ought to be a good curtnln
jalser will be the 0-round preliminary
between Redely Connolly and "Jnck
Livingston " As recently ns n year
ago a laige ciowd paid regular admis
sion prices to see Connolly get put out
In a main bout with Jim Judge. Next
week Connolly will be a side attrac
tion. "Livingston" Is Judge's brothe.1

In tho board rooms und agreed upon
Frank S. Hntker, of the Seventeenth

meets for organization Tuesday night.
Mr. Haiker's candidacy is not unop

H. Shrlefer, of the Sixteenth ward, who
was not present at lost night's con
ference. Although theie will be a Re
publican lepreseiitation of only ten
members out of twenty-one on the new
boaid, tho Harkcr faction claims tho
possession of the one Democratic vote
necessary to control the organization.
Although he Is the choice of a ma
Joiity of the Republican members, Mr,
Darker Is willing to retire In favor of
Mr. Schriefer if no other agreement
can be reached Such un arrangement
would not, however, Insuio the con
ttol of the prospective Democratic vote.
The vote In question Is unequivocally
pledged to Mr. Darker and condltiou
ly to any other Republican
Last night's caucus was attended by
Messrs. Darker, Shires, May. Kvans,
Phillips and Neuls. They were not nt
all disconcerted over the non-appearance
of the four other Republican
members two at least of whom could
not attend on nccount of other engage
ments, the notices of the gathering
having been Issued ns recently as the
evening previous. Those present were
of the opinion that Mr. Schriefer would
willingly withdraw In favor of the per
son suggested by the majority.
Mr. Hniker has never been presi

recently honored with an election to
the chair to fill the unexpired term of
President Gcorgo P. Mitchell, 'who lost

Tho turquoNo is especially rich in
virtues. The Germans claim that by
Its varying shades It turns tell-tale on
tho caprices and moods of Its wearer.
Cardau, the renowned Italian physician
and philosopher, asserted that tur
quoise mounted and worn as a finger
ring secured a horseman from all In
jury, and added with commendablo
caution that he hod "a beautiful tur
quoise given him as a keepsake, but
never tested its virtues, not caring for
tho sake of tlio cxpeilment to rlsk.hls
life." Rhnkesrieare also gives these
lines to Shylock- "He would nit have
lost his turquoise rlnr. for a whole wil
derness of monkeys." An old Iwok
written by Camtllus Lonardus tells
much of interest about Jewels, nnd
nan es a number of stones that clth'tr
are no longer found, else were crea
tions of the author's imagination. This
la most probable when we lead Leon-
ardus' deseilptlon of the alecorln, which,
he says, not alone rendeis a man in
visible, liut "being held In the mouth
allays thirst. ' Tho alecorla, he fur
ther states, Is to be found only in the
Intestines of n capon that has lived
seven years. "When the stone has
become perfect," to quote this author
ity, "the capon docs not drink." How
ever, it is never larger than a large
bean. Again, he tells of the bozonr, a
"red. dusty, brittle and light stone,"
which Is takin from the body of some
animal, and is infallible against mel
ancholy. He credits Queen Elizabeth
with wearing a bozoar. nnd Charles V
h'ud four cf them. The four rings,
however, of most historical Intel est
were those presented by Pope Innocent
to King John. The monarch was urg
ed to note with extreme care tho shape
of the rings, their number, color nnd
matter. The number four, belne a
square, typified firmness ot mind, fixed
steadfastly on the four cardinal vir
tues. The blue color of the sapphire
denoted faith; the green of the emer
ald, hope; the crimson of the ruby,
chuilty, and the splendor of tlio topaz,
good works. The rings themselves rep
