OPINIONS OF JUDGE LOVE
Five ol Them Were Filed With Pro-
tbonolary Copelnnd Yesterday.
Cases lie Passed Upon.
Itldge John G. Love, of Hellefonte,
bent to Prothonotntj Copeland yester
dt opinions in five eases tried before
him in this court. The opinions are on
amplications tor new trials. He refus
ed a new trial In the suit of Thomas II
Kell' and Elizabeth Kelley, his wife,
against the Scranton Hallway com
panj ; case ot the McCoy Gla-s com
pjnv versus the Lackawanna Hard
ware eoinpam , case of Uiiah McDon
nell ngnlnst the Scianton Hallway ram
n.wj. , and in lh case of James F Hovle
against E F Boyl. , executor. lie re
lusid to sttlke off the non-suit In the
ens. of George how rj against the Lack
awanna Volley Rapid Transit company
In the Kellej case, Mrs Kelley was
Inlureel getting on a Stone avenue
street cat. The jury loturned a vetdlct
of jl,vin The principal rei'son for a
new trial was that tho verdict was
against the weight of tho evidence.
The opinion sas the case was one for
tho jurj, and tho verdict was not an
excessive one If the plaintiff was en
titled to recover at all.
In the McDonnell case tho jury gave
a verdict of $10 in favor of the plaintiff
fc t damage done to his property In the
First ward by the change In the grade
of tho street. The work was done by
the company, and not pursuant to a
resolution by the city councils. The
court to-ered the point that under the
evidence the verdict should have been
for the defendant, but upon a full con
sideration of nil the mciits of the cae,
the verdict Is allowed to stand
In the Hojle case the verdict was for
$1,100, which was based upon the claim
of one j ear's salary ind two-thirds of
$."C0 insurance monej. Jtrdge Lo'-o says
that while there were ten witnesses for
the rlalntlft nnd but one for the de
fendant, et the preponderance of evi
dence of the former is not o great Hut
tluie having been reallj two trials with
recover for the plaintiff In each ra'-e,
he Is or tho opinion that the xerdlct
should stand.
In thQ Lovvry cac the plaintiff was
suing for Injuries ho sustained on De
comber 8, 1S5, by being struck by a car
on Fclmont street, Carbondale On the
ttlal Judge Love granted a non-suit on
the ground of contributory negligence.
The ev liience he said, showed that tho
plaintiff fallel to mike u-c of his nat
ural ser.ses as a prudent man under the
clicttmstances should or would do and
was cleirly guilty of negligence and Is
not entitled to recover.
Furthermore, theie was no negli
gence, he said, shown on the patt of the
company. He thinks the cae comes
cleatly within the piinciples decided In
the lecent case of Llzzlo Gllmnrtln
against the came company. Therefore,
the non-suit Is allowed to ten.aln.
In tho McCoy Glass case the action
was founded upon an account for a
balance due claimed by the plaintiff
for two Invoices of glass shipped by the
plaintiff to defendants. The latter re
ceived the glass but set up as a de
fense that It was shipped In pmsuancr
of a contract that the plaintiff failed
to comply therewith, in conseeiucnco of
which the defendants were forced to
go Into tho open market to supply their
trad", and they claimed as a set off to
the plaintiff's suit damages for the ex
tr.t price they had to pay for the glass.
The jur found u xerdlct ol $523 15 for
the plaintiff Judge Love thinks tho
case was fairly tried nnd the verdict
should stand.

ASKED TO GIVE A RULING-LACK
AWANNA TOWNSHIP VOTEHS EX
AMINED. In the hearing yesterday In tho
Langstaff-Kelley contest, witnesses
from the South district of Lacka
wanna tovvnshli) were examined, nnd
the proceedings were anything but
pros .
Timothy Lydon, one of the oldest
settlers In tho valley, who owns prop
erty nnd hns voted forty enrs, was
on the bill of partlculuts. lie was not
In the most gracious mood at being
challenged, and raised his cane to
strike some of the law or s a blow,
whoever It was that was responsible
for bringing him In Though thnt long
In the country he has never been able
to learn enoush of the English lan
guage to communicate his Ideas.
Michael P Lvdon had to lf called In
to translate the old man's testimony
from the Irish temgue.
"Tomnr" Hurke, another old resi
dent who Is ranging toward his eight
ieth car, was called and ho was as
verbose as Ldorr was restricted. Mr.
Hurke at lit st was ciuito contemptuous
In his remarks He was not at all
pleased at being btought In, and pro
duced his tax receipts with a lofty dis
dain. Mr. Holgnte asked him If he re
ceived any mone for his vote and his
leply was "Not as much as a half
a pint of rnt gut "
NOT ON THE RILL.
Eighteen were called who were not
on the bill of particulars and there
was considerable argument pro nnd
con among the attornes. Commis
sioners Duggan and Lewis were unani
mous of the opinion thnt a man whoso
name was not on the bill could not be
examined. The case of Thomas Joce,
who was called, may be certified to
Judge Archbald for a ruling. Mr. Hol
gate instructed Stenographer1 Talor to
make a transciint and certify It
Thomns Jojce, a miner, was called.
There was no Thomas Joce on the
bill, but theie was a Thomas P Joce.
And It appears that there Is but ono
Thomas Jo co on the list of voters
The witness was asked If he voted and
he said he did. Mt New comb objected
to his answering any questions what
ever, n his name wasn't on the bill.
The name on the bill Is that of Pro
fessor Thomas P Joce, principal of
No 3 school, Mlnooka, for the past
twenty-five years Mr Holgate held
that as theie Is but one Thomas Jojip
on the voting list and the witness had
said he voted, he should be examined
even If the middle Initial were at
tached to the name on the bill. The
commlssloneis ruled otherwise
Those who were called and found
not Included In the bill ate as follows:

leums as we do. This we know is true. We carry Linoleums
in all widths up to four y.lYds wide.
Inlaid Linoleums
A special lot, solid color, clear through to the back, these we are
selling out at 1,00 a (1. Our regular line is SI.25 a J(l.
English Inlaid Linoleums
For beauty of color and design these aie without a doubt the
finest goods in the maiket. The English were the original
Linoleum makers, which perhaps explains why these goods aie
somewhat superior lo ours. $1.50 a )(1. and well worth it.
Corticene
This is the onginal Linoleum. Some prefer it to the inlaid, 7.")C
and S3c a J(l. We carry linoleums in four yard widths as low as
50c a (l. Table Oil Cloths 10c a ) il.
