COMMON PLEAS COURT.
John Koslosk Obtained Verdict of
$192.62 Against the Dickson
City Brewing Company
Other Cases Heard.

Another verdict for the plaintiff was
returned yesterday. 1t was in the case
of John Kososk against the Dickson
Brewing company. The amount was
$192.62. A wagon owned by the defend
ant company ran lown the eight-year-
old son of the plaintiff, breaking his
leg. 1t was alleged that the driver was
not watching out at the time, and
further that the horses were being
driven at a too rapid speed.
Out of the eleven cases tried so far
this week verdicts for the plaintiff were
rendered in nine. There were also three
cases in which amicable settlements
were reached, which means generally
that the plaintiff secured what was
being sought or a good part of it. In
another case judgment was entered for
the plaintiff by agreement. Altogether
it was a decidedly favorable week for
plaintiffs.
Two juries were out at adjournment,
the one in the case of owen Collins
against the city of Scranton and the
other, jury of eleven, which is pass
ing upon the case of b. ]. Woodling
against F. S. Godfrey.
This latter case was recalled before
SlCHDdlu ytSleTudy
having been postponed from the pre-
vious day in order to give the plaintiff
an opportunity of hunting up Captain
| DeLacy, who was one of his principal
witnesses. The captain was not located.
but the case was proceeded with, never
| theless.
| 1t is a suit rather between Mr.. God
| frey and the Throop estate than be-
| tween the parties named. In Decem-
Der, 1896, Mr. Godfrey purchased barn
on Oakford court from Dr. Throop. II
was agreed that DR.. Throop should
make certain repairs upon it before the
transfer 1t appears that after the pre-
scribed repairs were completed some
extra work was ordered, costing $243.-
&c. Mr.. Godfrey and Mr.. keenan,, his
bus manager, gave orders as to what
work should be done and Mr.. Wood
ling rendered the bill to them. 1t i.
contended by Mr.. Godfrey that the al.
legged extra work was a part of the
repairs that DR.. Throop agreed to make
and that the bill for it should be paiC
by the Throop estate.
Major Warren and A. A. Chase rep.
resented the PLAINTIFF, and Patterson &
Wilcox the defendant

Folly of the Cuhans.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
If it be true, as this mornings dispatches
indicate. that the Cuban army will not dis
band and go home and go to work until the
United States shall pay them two or more
millions of dollars for their service in their
own army, then the doubt becomes a GER
tainty that the Cubans are not capable of
self-government. Our government has won
for them what they have proven themselves
incapable of doing-freedom from Spanish
despotism. In addition to that, the United
States proposes to send sufficient force to
maintain order, to act as policemen for
them and pay all the expense, which is very
great and thus allow the Cubans to rebuild
what has been destroyed by the war--to put
their cities in good sanitary condition. to
give good educational system, and in every
way TO lay the foundations for good. stable
government-and the Cuban army refuse to
do it, If they are not misrepresented by the
dispatches history has no parallel to the in
gratitude and folly of the Cubans If Gen
Gomez has 15C00 men now to be paid, he
nad SuIncient force, If he had had the dis
position to do it, to prevent the reinforce
ment of the Spanish army at Santiago.
That reinforcement made the battle GER
tainty, where so many brave Americans
had to give their lives to secure Cuban free
dom. The ungrateful and defiant attitude
of the CubanS is embarrassing and prolOng-
ing the settlement with Spain and may re-
suit in the renewal of the war with that
country For the Cubans to doubt the good
faith of the administration in the effort to
give them the blessings of liberty and good
government is criminal in the extreme That
our government will promptly resent and in
the end punish the leaders i'm this wicked
attempt to keep this lovely island in con-
slant turmoil cannot be doubted. 1t is as
much our duty to do it as ii was to expel
the Spaniards. If Cuba will be true to her.
self the United States will keep faith with
her.
II Cuba ever has free government of her
own 1t will be only when the Cubans show
by their conduct that they Nave a full and
complete appreciation of what human liberty
is. regulated by law. 1t is to be hoped that
-hey Will not be misled by few ambitious
I men who desire at once to be President of
the cuban republic WILL CUMBACK.
