MEASURE OF DAMAGES.

THE services of the boy belonged to
the father, therefore he is entitled to
what he would naturally earn from time
of the accident up to his arrival at the
age OF twenty-one years, less the ex-
penditures he would have to make for his
care and maintenance. In other words
the father could not charge as an item
of damage in a case of this kind for what
the boy could earn without giving credit
for what he would naturally have to pay
the boy. The net earnings of the boy is
the loss to the father. for which he is
entitled to recover
The above instructions in its applica-
tion to the undisputed facts in this case
was misleading and wrong. A father is
entitled to all the earnings of his minor
son, and is obliged to care for and main
tain him; in tho case of the death of the
son, or probable earnings, less the prob
able cost of his maintenance, in other
words the net earnings of the son, but
IN the case of an injury to the son not
resulting in death. the obligation to
maintain the son still exists upon the
rather, and the pecunary loss to the
father would be all the earnings of the
son, which were lost to the father by
reason of the injury, together with such
additional expense as would be conse-
quent upon the injury.
The undisputed facts In this case are
that James Jennings was supported by
his father, John G. Jennings, the plain
TIN in this case. from the time of the ac-
cident until his arrival at the age of
twenty-one years.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-04-12

On the ground that error was COM
mitted in charging the jury that the
plaintiff was entitled to recover only
for the net earnings of his son, Judge
ID. w. Searle, Of Montrose, yesterday
granted a new trial in the case of John
@. Jennings against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company, which was asked for
by the defendant after securing a ver-
dict of 81. Judge Searle was called
here to specially preside at the trial
of the case. The opinion is as fol-
lows:
Rule to show ceuse why q new trial
shall not be granted:
This is an action in trespass by John q.
Jennings VS.. the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company to recover damage which he
claims he has sustained by reason of his
minor son, james Jennings. having been
injured while a passenger upon the rail-
road of defendant through the negli-
gence of the defendant.
The verdict of the jury was for the
plaintiff in the sum of one dollar, rem
dered September Is. 1897 The plaintiff,
September 30, 1897 filed reasons for a new
trial as follows:
REASONS CITED BY PLAINTIFF.
tuSt-Ine court erred IN rejecting the
plaintiffs offer to prove the verdict and
judgment in the case of James Jennings
by his next friend, John G. Jennings, VS..
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company.
Second-Also in charging the jury that
the plaintiff was not entitled to recover
for the services of his wife and daugh-
ter in nursing the injured party.
Third-Also charging the jury that the
plaintiff was entitled only TO recover the
net earnings of his minor son.
Fourth--Also in affirming the defend
ants second, third, fifth and sixth points.
Fifth-The verdict is against the law
and the evidence and the charge of the
court.
SiNth-The verdict is unlawful, incon-
sistent, and absurd In this: 1t finds that
the plaintiff suffered damage, and allows
him only nominal damage.
Seventh-The court erred in permitting
evidence to be read to the jury in the alb
sence of the court and the plaintiff and
and the plaintiffs counsel.
Upon these reasons the above rule was
granted. Dec. II. 1897. the following ad-
ditional reason was filed:
The court erred in charging that DR..
Gibbons in a short time after the acci-
dent visited the boy and found him suf-
fering from inhammatory rheumatism.
On the question of the measure of dam
age. the jury was instructed inter ALA,

CURES WITHOUT PAIN
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile CurP

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every form
OF Piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves Of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
It is done solely by its remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while il thus gives immediate relief.
Al the same time the disease is not merely
checked. but a radical cure is rapidly ac-
compished.
And the point we want 70 make clear is
that all ;his is done without 4 particle Of
pain.
This fact Is one reason for the great
popularity cf the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be
tween it and almost any other kind Of
treatment for piles.
Every kind Of surgical operation for
piles is eScrUciatngly painful besides en-
danEering the life OF the patient and IN
most cases is NOT - he compared with
the Pyramid Cure. neither in making sue
cessful cures without pain nor in cheap
ness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long. and its merits reCoE-
nized by too many people 10 allow it to
be classed with the many saves. supposi-
tories. pills. etc, and YOU run no risk in
trying II, as is often the case with new
and untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
OF piles or rectal disease Go not forget

the Pyramid Drug Co. OF Albion. Mich

At Douglas the team turned west and

nothing to do, however, but to face it.
AS she was rushed west on Douglas she
saw two Eagle reporters and raped on

the horses struck the bridge. Every mo-

eaw two boys on the bridge and cried to
them to follow. When the bridge was
passed she settled back with comparative
comfort. Her greatest dread was gone.
The horses ran west as far as the Friends

until Miss Rather was able to climb out

jehu's seat, drive back to town. Mean
while the boys had secured a team and
