NEW CASTLE, March 17.-Merchsnt
John Thompson, Of Delaware street, will
now have to defend damage suit in the
Superior Court, unless a prior settle
ment is reached, which Is not probable
as Mr.. Thompson has already stated his
willingness to defend the suit rather
than pay the plaintiffs claim or any part
thereof Mrs. Maggie Louth, the wife
of Louis Louth, OF Taggartville, Is the
plaintiff.
From Mrs. Louth's story, It seems that
she had Just returned from Philadel-
phia hospital last Saturday evening, and
was coming up Delaware street about 8
O'Clock Nearly opposite Thompson's
store door there is a large pump. AMI
only few feet Of space is left between
this and the pavement cellar doors OF
the store. In the rush Of business one
cellar door had been left open, and
thrown back until 10 nearly touched the
pavement.
bevy Of young women came along
lust as Mrs Louth started TO pass the
cellar door. and while looking at them,
she tripped on the edge Of the door
First she fell against the door, then over
the edge Of It aud down the cellar, sus
tanning contusions and other bodily in
jury. She also suffered severely from
the shock.
Attorney John H. Rodney will prob
ably take charge OF Mrs. Louths side Of
the case. Mr.. Thompson has not yet
engaged counsel.
