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

"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. Tho attondanco was very good,
considering the severo storm, and the audience
seemed to appreciate the entertainment very
much. Tho play is brimful of interesting
situations, the ccenic effects aio striking, and
the dialogues are full of genuine wit and
humor, Mr O'Rourke is an exce llent success
as Dick Cvmcay aud the company surround,

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.

A l'..ollli Girl.
Last night a girl, apparently about fifteen
years of ago, occupied cue of tho circle seats
in Ferguson's theatre. 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. This morning she loitered
about tho Lehigh Valley depot forsovcral
houis and when at hist the membors of "The
Wicklow Postman" company arrived to tako
tho train for Ashland it was discovered that
tho girl had been following tho troupe. She
was stago struck and wanted Mr. O'Uourko to
tako her in his company. Tho girl said she
was from Mahanoy Ciiy. Sho accosted Mr.
O'Rourko at tho depot and he gavo her a sharp
lecture After tho eomiauy departed the
foolish girl complained to Station Agent Quinu
that she was without funds. Mr. Ouinu
kiudly mado arrangements for her return to
Mahanoy City.
