IN Hands OF THE JURY
Case Of ThomlS Rich Against D. & H. c. Co.
Finished Yesterday.
ASKED BINDING Instructions
Ex-Judge Jessup Made a Lengthy
Argument, but Judge Archibald Re-
fused to Give Such Instructions.
Action of Miss Winifred Barrett
Against the Borough of Blakely.
Burr Case Is Still on Trial.

When court opened yesterday morn
ing ex-Judge W. H Jessup asked
Judge Gunster to give binding instruc-
tions to the jury for the defendant in
the case of Thomas Rich against the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company.
Mr.. Jessup made lengthy argument
in support of his motion for binding
instructions but the arguments he ad-
duced were not sufficient to convince
Judge Gunster that the defendant
company was entitled to binding in.
struetions.
Arguments were then made to the
jury by Mr.. Jessup for the defendant
and Attorney s. B. Price for the plain
tiff. Judge Gunster at 2 p. m., began
his charge to the jury. II was clear
and lucid exposition of the evidence in
the case and the law bearing thereon.
About g. 80 the jury retired. 1t had
not agreed up to the time court ad-
journed.
The trespsss suit of Miss Winifred
Barrett, of Jsssup. against the borough
of Blakely. was heard before Judge
Furst in court room No. 2 yesterday.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien and District
Attorney John P, Kelly were the fair
plaintiffs legal representatives, and
Attorneys Ward and Horn appeared
for the borough.

DROPPED INTO A HOLE.

Miss Barrett alleges that on Aug. 1,
1891, she was riding over the Carbon
dale turnpike in Blakely borough in
company with her sister, The carriage
ran into an unprotected ditch in the
roadway and Miss Barrett was thrown
out and severely injured about the
head. back and hips. She says that her
injuries are permanent and wants dam.
ages to recompense her.
Ex-Judge Ward opened the case for
the defense. II contends that the hole
in the roadway was caused by the rain.
A ditch had been dug for a water pipe,
and after 1t was filed, the rain caused
tho earth to settle about ten inches,
which made the hole into which the
carriage occupied by the plaintiff sank.
All Of yesterday was consumed be-
fore Judge Edwards in court room No.

defense in the case OF Charles A. Burr
against John Kass and II. Stone. As
heretofore stated, the defendants deny
that the property passed into the pos
session of Mr.. Kass under an agreement
that it should be decided back to DR..
Burr after certain conditions had been
complied with. 1t is also claimed that
the sale of the property to Stone was

WAS IT APPS BAD DAY?
Query Raised by n Harlem Cable
Rond Conductors Performances.

Passengers on the One Hundred and
Twenty nth street cable road yesterday
observed that Conductor No. 432 had on

should not be required to get new set
OF manners to go with 1t was question
which perplexed a number OF people on
his car for at least one trip.
1t appeared to be a grave onense, In
the eyes OF No. 432. for lady TO desire
either TO get into his car or to alight
from II. Come, hustle!" he would grutfty
calculate as the vehicle stopped for a
woman to get on, and step lively now"
was his repeated and impatient excla-
nation az he received a signal to stop
for a passenger who had reached her
destination.
Looks of Indignation and amazement
had no effect upon No. 1925 armor-
plated countenance. His impudence
reached "A climax when two women pas
sengers had the temerity, after signal

came to an actual pause before leaving

shouted, Step lively! Hurry up and get
