Of being the youngest member of the state
legislature, being but "a years old, and

Though of humble birth he, by industry
and pluck, combined with a realizing sense
that "aur lives are what We make them."
he ovrrcsme seemingly insurmountable
obstacl..s. until at this time he is rightly
considefed one OF the most promising
young iaer in this part OF the state. Be

as slyie picker and passed successfully
through all the grades of the mining in
dustry. heing by turns a breaker boy. door
tender ssciver. foot tender. company hand
and lab, rer. After he went from the
breaker o the mines every spare moment
that can e TO him was spent with useful
books aid In the evening he attended
night SCHOOL. Thus he advanced until at
the age Gf ID he opened a night school In
the baserlent Of his fathers house, where
he impaired instruction to his compan-
Ions. Sear later he left the mines and
entered e. grocery store, many of whose
patrons were Slavs and Poles. and from

VERDICT AGREED UPON.
Potter Jury Came 70 n Conclusion at )
O'Cloek Yesterday Afternoon.

Judge Lynch delivered his charge to
the jury yesterday in the trespass case
of George W. Potter against the Scran-
ton Traction company, and at ll.SO the
case was given to the jury. 1t agreed
upon a verdict at ; p. m. and sealed it..
This morning it will be brought into
court.
The charge consisted Of careful re-
view OF the testimony and an exposition
of the law relating thereto. Among
other things he said: 1.-The law is that
no matter how negligent the defendant
may have been, If the plaintiff Is also
negligent he cannot recover. The plain
tiff has testified that he had for many
years driven through the streets of
Dunmore and that his horses had many
times passed the repairing tower erect
ed on wagons and were not frightened
thereby. Then there is the question of
the character Of the horses. Were they
gentle and we'll broken? On cross-ex-
animation Mr.. Potter testified that
once several years before one of the
horses had run away
"If the horses We're not gentle and
weli-broken then the plaintiff cannot
recover, no matter haw he may have
suffered. If, however, the horses We're
gentle and well-brdken he had a right
" tutUt ny iht dpplldHCt. HtU
there is the question whether Mr.. Pot
ter could have seen this appliance,
which he himself says was of a nature
to frighten horses. in time to avoid it.
If he could and did not do so then he
is guilty of negligence.
"If you decide" said the judge that
the plaintiff is entitled to damages you
have then to fix the amount. To deter
mine this you must take into consd-
Grafton the plaintiffs physical condi-
ton previous to the accident. Accord
ing to the Carlisle tables, If he was
sound physically at the time of the ac-
cident, he could expect to live about
nineteen years. Yet this Is poor thing
to decide upon. There can be no GER
tainty how long man will live after
given time. You must take into con-
sideration the nature of the injuries
and you may compensate him for his
loss of earning power. for his dlsHgure-
ment, for medical services, for nursing,
and you may give him fair and reason-
able compensation for these, but 1t Is
not the intent of the law that the COM
pany shall be punished"
