A person IN possession Of a transfer
ticket continues to be a passenger
while proceeding from the one car to
the other according to the opinion of
Judge John u. Mcpherson, of Dauphin
county, filed yesterday with Prothono-
tary Copeland in the case of Mrs.
Susan Keator against the Scranton
Traction company.
Mrs. Keator was injured by fall
ing trolley pole while crossing the
street at Lackawarna and Penn ave-
nues, on her way from "A Green Ridge
car to take a South Side car for which
she held q transfer ticket. The con-
ductor on the South Side car was
changing the trolley as Mrs. Keator
was approaching the car. He gave
the poll IL sudden and violent jerk, ii
Is alleged, causing it to snap in twain
and fail to the pavement. In falling,
one of the ends struck Mrs. Keator
n glancing blow on the head and then
on the shoulder, injuring her perma-
nently in her eyesiSht and arm.
A verdict Of $4,76C was found in her
favor. She claimed damages on two
grounds: They are, that she was
simply a pedestrian on the street and
that the company failed to use ordi-
nary care to protect her: the other,
that she was passenger and that the
company failed to exercise the extra
ordinary care as required by the car
riage contract which was entered into
when she paid her fare.
The jury was asked to find on the
first contention and answered that the
| plaintiff was entitled to recover as u
| pedestrian: that the company had fall
| ed to exercise ordinary care and that
| Mrs. Keator had a right to be where
! she was when the accident occurred.
| on the second point, which is a matter
| of law, Judge Mcpherson gave his de-
cision as noted above.
In his discussion of the case he does
not contend that under all rircur-
| stances a holder of q transfer bound
from one car to the other, can look 10
| the company for the extraordinary
| care demanded by the carriage con-
! tract, but such a person is certainly
| entitled to be protected with extra
ordinary care against injury by the
! defendants agents or by its appli-
ances of transportation.
The ruling making the plaintiff IN
this case a passenger is a new deci-
sion of law, no similar circumstance
having ever come UP for adjudication
in this state.

Lillian Hamilton. proprletress Of
resort on the second floor Of 32i center
street attempted suicide ut o'clock
this morning by taking about half
ounce of laudanum. She was impell-
cd TO tho rash act in a spasm of mo-
mentary disappointment over the loss
of $l2 by theft, which was all the money
she possessed. Her rent was due to-
day.
The quick action of the other in
mates helped to save her life, Though
the dose was not quite large enough
to kill. As soon as they saw she had
taken the poison they rammeG mus
tard potion down her throat and one
of them ran for DR.. Pennypacker. The
doctor responded in q few minutes
anG "A half hour later she was out OF
danger. Before he arrived the mus
tard caused her to vomit freely, ana
that made his work easier.
The Center street police station Is
diagonally across from 32l. At j.
o'clock she put her head inside the
doorway and called Sergeant Reese
Jones. He requested her come in and
make known her business. she was
dressed in gorgeous style and a rab-
bits foot was used as a bangle dangled
from pin in her collar. She appeared
to be returning from soma stylish
function.
CHOLLY Disappeared.
She wanted the sergeant to go across
to her parlors and remove a young
man who had taken too much liquor
and was making himself q nuisance
about the place. While she was telling
her story, one of the inmates rushed
in with the news that Cholly had
braced up and was hieing himself
away.
She walked out and over to her place
An hour later Sergeant Jones was
standing in the doorway Of the station
and Il messenger boy came along with
the information that a woman in 32l
had taken poison. Patrolman Neuls
was sent upstairs and received re.
port from DR.. Pennypacker that she
was out of danger.
1t appears that after she left the
police station and went to her room
she prepared to retire. She was near.
ly ready for bed when she looked fol
her purse. Finding it gone she called
the others, of whom there were foul
in the place, and questioned each on'
as to any knowledge of the rent money
Getting no satisfactory answer she
gave way to a storm of weeping, which
lasted ten or fifteen minutes, and ther
she made a quick move to the dress
ing case, took out the laudanum bot
tie and emptied it. 1t contained onl,
a half ounce. She was addicted to tn,
habit and kept a supply always OF
hand, but her stock had run low.
THE SUPPOSED THIEF.
1t is supposed that the money wa'
stolen by the young man, of whom
| she complained to Sergeant Jones. Sh,
| pretended not to know his name. Non,
| of the other women seemed TO know
! him either.

ANOTHER NEW QUESTION.

A question that will probably call
forth another new decision developed
yesterday in an equity case. heard by
Judge Edwards. 1t relates to the COM
potency Of married parties to testify
against each other, in an ante-nuptial
matter.
The case in question has Mrs. Mary
Early as plaintiff and Michael Kane as
defendant. She petitions to have court
decree the cancellation of u $500 mort
gage on her property in DunmOre,
which she gave to Kane, 50 she al
leSes To protest it from her husbands
creditors. The mortgage was given
Jan. T., 1892, on the day previous to
her marriage. She says her husband
and Kane induced her to give the
mortgage by telling her that her prop
erty would be subject to seizure for
Eally's debts after he became her hus-
band. About a year ago she and her
husband parted, and she made u de-
mand on Kane for the release of the
incumberance on her property. lie re-
fused to comply, alleging that he was
not holding the mortgage in trust for
her, hut for her husband, and that it
was given by her to her husband as
one of the Considerat tionS Of the nuptial
| contract.
In equity court Il plaintiff must have
the support of more than one witness.

A Curious Bluuder.

Rev. B. e. Utz, well known here, was
the victim of blunder which was not
calculated to put him in very peaceful
frame of mind as follows:
THE Outburst desires to apologize for
or rather to explain, an ite m in the social
columns last week, wherein the good peo-
pie OF the Christian church of Spokane
were placed in false and ridiculous
light. The item stated that at the church
fair recently held in this city by this or
ganization the principal features were
whist, dancing and a cakewslk, "a
fine assortment Of amusements for q
church fair! The explanation of this
blunder 10 that in making up the forms
two lines of another social item were in
advertently added to the church item
and the error not discovered until the
harm was DONE"

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it ?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best ?
II both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgement on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that 1t can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
