JURY viewed PROPERTY
Wanted to See just How O'HOro's
Property Mas Damaged.
MOTT CASE In JURY'S HANDS
Harrington Made No Defense Small Yer.
dict Given in Favor of Patrick Swift.
Action Brought by S. ii. Cutter-Mcn
from Scott Township in Court.

The most important matter in the
courts yesterday, the one of the great
est public interest, was the suit of
James O'Horo against the city Of
Scranton for damages done to his prop
erty on North Main avenue near
Throop street, by the widening of the
avenue in accordance with an ordi-
nance passed by the city councils. The
street was improved in 1887 and board
of viewers assessed the damage done
to Whites property at $3.50.
He appealed the case to court and it
was yesterday tried. A number of wit
nesses We're sworn who gave their
opinions as to the market value of
Whites property before it was seized
and the value of what was left after it
was seized. Their estimates fixed the
damage at figures ranging between
$1,000 and $1,000. The jury went up to
view the property. Judge Edwards de-
lvered very learned charge to the
jury and placed the case in their hands,
ordering them to seal their verdict and
return it to court this morning.
In No. . Judge Mcpherson heard the
assumpSit suit of Assignee S. b. Mott,
of the Hyde Park bank, against c. =.
Jadwin. The defendants side of the
case was heard yesterday and it was al
legged that there is due Mr.. Jadwin
$500 instead of his owing the bank any
money. Judge McPhersOn's charge was
a lengthy one, carefully prepared and
clearly delivered The jury was or
dered to report with its verdict, if one
shall have been agreed upon, when
court opens this morning.
Offered No Defense.
Judge Gunster presided in the main
court room at the trial of four cases.
The first one was that of Enos Flynn
against John Harrington and wife for
store bill contracted away back in
1877 to the amount of $32l.4S. The de-
fense offered no testimony and the jury
found a verdict for the full amount of
the claim.
Another suit where the defense prac-
tically admitted its liability by Offering
no testimony was that of the First Ma
tional bank, of Spencer, Iowa, against
Knight, White & Co. to recover on a
draft of $500, dated Nov. 9, 1889. A
verdict for the bank in the sum of $2Gl
was rendered. The jury brought in a
verdict of $3.50 in favor of Patrick
Swift, of Richmondale, who sued the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron company for
alleged back wages amounting to $l52.
Charles Patchen, sued Levi Snyder for
wages and the jury agreed that he was
entitled to $60.Si.
S. II. Cutter engaged the attention of
the court with his suit of STA for car
penter repair work done on three
houses in Park Place owned by Mrs.
Susan Dale. Cutter rented one of the
houses. and after he was engaged to do
the repairs he thought it was not worth
his while to pay the rent, and thus he
allowed the rent roll to accumulate to
STA. The defendants said that would
square his bill for repair work and let
II go at that. The jury went out and
came to the conclusion that $27 was
enough to pay him over and above the
rent

one that is of some use. a calendar that
you have to study or set has little ex-

President Robert Macay, OF the Board of Edu-

on the biennial school census, and that when the
police force is less busy 1t will probably wind up
the work Mr. Maclay proposed that enumerators
should be hired and the work continued until next
year so that the expense of taking the census
could be included in next years estimates but this
plan was objected to and abandoned Under the
