Bpectal Hkralu correspondence. rorrsviLLK, Jan. 29. Michael TJogan, formorly of Lost Creek and now of Browns- villc, brought suit against tho Township of Weat Mahauoy to recovor damages for Injurios sustained by reason of his falling Into amino broach near the old Smoky Hollow rood at Lost Creek in 1MW. This case was called for trial on Thursday afternoon, last, and occu pied tho balance of that day, all of Friday and on Saturday afternoon tho jury returned nveidict In favor of tho defendant for $2,150 Tho voidict was a surprise to everybody, as thoso who had "witnessed tho trial had ex pectcd tho jury wouldn't award Hogau any damage. Tho counsel for tho township, Messrs. Kacrcher ard Iimke, had strongly urged Judio Wcidmaa to take tho case from tho Jury on the ground of contributory negligence on tho part of Hogau. and on tho further ground that this road upon which the acci dent happened was not a public highway and tho bretch was not in proximity to tho road as to make travel ou It dangerous. Tho township attorneys excepted to tho charge of tho court and this morning they tiled reasons fur a new trial in which they alleged that the verdict was against the law and against tho evidence It is expected that the caso will bo con tested to tho very end, because should llngan succeed in recoveiing any damages at all other people hint in tho same breach and in different breaches throughout the township are ready to bring actions against the town ship authorities for damages. Tho reasons filed to day will be urgul in duo time, and then it will l for Judge Weidman to Bay whether there shall be another trial. In case a new trial is refusod, it is believed the attorneys for the township will take the oase to tho Supreme Court. Tho public, as a rule, labor tinder the liu pressiou that tho railroad companies and townships are liable for any and all damages that occur to travelers in, or near their roads, but there is a question of law that has been repeatedly passed upon by the Supremo Court of this state and that is, If tho partius seeking damages Bhall be guilty in any way of con tributory negligence, then hois not entitled to any remuneration. This rulo of law goes upon tho principle that a man should do all within his poner and means to protect himself before ho shall feel called upon to help others for injuries of this kind occuring to him. In tho caso of Hogau it was claimed that he failed to return to his home ou tho public road by which ho left it and that he had lived for four years within twenty-five feot of this old mine breach. Ifogan, it is claimed, on his return, imprudently left the public road, at midnight, and in dense dark nesii, resulting in his tumbling into tho breach. Many cases have been tried in the 'ooal region that have arisen in this way, but it is said there is not one in which large damages havo been awatded as in this ease, therefore the ultimate result will be awaited with interest by townships and ooal companies, as well as peoplo who may have claims In reserve. THE MCKNSK COURT. This morning Judges Bechtel and Weid man, held the annual license court and opened it by hearing arguments ou old licensed stands ha lug new bondsmen aud thoso against which exceptions had been filed and were nearly all disposed of. Then tho court eommeuoed hearing new applications, but as few of these applicsuts were present the court was obliged to adjourn at 3 o'clock for want of work. THE FKKI.KY BTANIJ. A otso which aroused considerable interest was that of John Feeley, of .Shenandoah, who hold a wholesale license in the Third ward. Feelcy's application was resitted by his brother-in-law, Daniel Ilrennan, who had an applicant for the place in the (lersou of ex-Councilman Edward Devers, of tho Fifth ward. Mr. Devers was represented by Johu Wbalen and Mr. Feeley by Kaeroher Bros., W. I). Seltzer and M. M. Burke. Devers obtained a leaso to the premises in disputo, which are looated at the corner of West and Laurel streets, from the owner, John Hughes, but tho evidence showed that Johu Feeley did notjbavo legal notice to quit aud, there fore, Feeley still has the right to the premises for another year. This will, it is believed, give Feeley the license, as the courts have gocorally granted licenses to the turtles in possession. A good deal of Ill-feeling has been worked up between llreunau aud Feeley, as Breunau claims that ho origiually obtained the license for the placo as agent for a brewing eouipaiiy aud establtthed Feeley in business under him, and fays Feeley took advantage of his generosity by firmly establishing himself In and securing control of the business. THE NKlBWESTtB c ASK. The Daniel Neiswender ease was also con. sldered. The objections Med to the applica tion for the license weio withdrawn in open court this momlngand the license was granted. Immediately after thellconsowss transferred by Mr. Nelswcnter to Johu Onldln, of Potlsville, who, It is statod, paid $1,000 for the fixtures and good will of tho placo and will tako actual posv aslon on February 1st, next. It issaid Mr. Neiswenterwill rotlre to privato lifo, ACCIDENT AT DELANO. Laborer Killed unit h Section In jured.

Doylo survived tho ordeal, although ho was badly squeezed and tho result may prove fatal in his case. It was necessary to remove parts of tho brake and truck attachments to get him out. "The Wicklow rostlimu." One of tho roost cnjoyablo entertainments of the season was tho production of "The Wicklow l'cstman" at Ferguson's theatre, last night, by Eugene O'Rourko aud an excellent company.

THE' TELEPHONES SUFFER Wind, Shot, Snmv u nil ltiiln fliir llaioc In VnrloiiH Wny Throughout This H-HIii r tho Itrglmi The Ulecirle Light Service Also Impaired, The storm of last night was In many ro spects moro severe than the famous hllzsard. Tho mow was not heaped as high, but the soverlty of tho cold and tho florcenoss ot tho winds wero up to tho record. As ono of tho ro suits tolegraphic communication with the country surrounding this town was cut ell'. At !) 'clr.ek this morning repairsmcu succeeded In re-establishing tolegraphic communication at tho Lehigh Valley depot. But all day the Western Union and 1' & U.;gcneral telegraph office on West Centro street wasunablo to do nny business. Tho only means of communi cation was an undcrgroi i d wiro, aud that only oxtended to Lost Creek. Tho telegraph and telephone wires throughout tho town suf fered greatly. There wero scores of breaks. Tho telephono service was absolutely usole Tho storm did not picvent traffic on the railroads, but all trains rm behind their schedule time, many of them fir behind. Tho sjreots of towu were without tho arc light toivice last night and they were wrap ped nlmost In total da'kness in consequence of it. The sleet filled the globes and pro, vented tho lamps from working. Shortly after G o'clock last evening, and during ono of thu most bitter periods of the storm, an alarm of tiro was sounded from the corner of Main and Centto streets. Such an alarm on such a night always brings to the minds of thu peoplo of Shenandoah vhid recollections of the great conflagration of lsri:!, and quito naturally the miner, the business man, tho professional man, and the man of no particular btwlues or profession, all joined In a grand rush to respond to the alarm. The fire companies were ou tho tcene promptly, but their services were lif t needed Thcro rcaily wos no lire. A chimney of one of that row of shells on the south side of Centro street, just East of Whiio street, ro fused to discharge its smoke properly and some hasty peoplo yelled "fire!" These people pressed the button aud tho electrie alarm system did tho rest. About half an hour before this occurrence a slovo exploded in the house ou West Lloyd si root, I ut it did no damage to tho surround lugs and no alarm was souudrd. This morning, at about 1 o'i loci;, the fire bell received two tat and caused another spasm of excitement, which soon died out when other talis failed to follow. These taps wero caused by other wires falling upon those of tho alarm system. Tiees that ornament the pavements and grounds surrounding residences in many parts of the town suffered to a cousiderabio extent. Where the fierceness of the winds failed the weight of snow aud ice played havoc with tho branches. In some places tho trees themselves were bent over tho pavements, Tho electric railway also (tillered consider, bly Irom tho storm. Tho cars ran until a late hour last night, but were uiiablo to start this morning. Tho trolley wiro was dannged in several places and the ears did not run at all to day. THE PRESBYTMRY OP LEHIGH.

She was neatly and comfortably attired in a red dross, a black coal and a dark trimmed light felt hat. She had a rather pleasing face, Her skirts weid short, Indicating that at least her parents do not consider her out of her teens. After tho show tho girl was seen In tho company of several young men, with different ones at various times.
