Mrs. Susan Il. Keator was yesterday
awarded a verdict of $467O.S3 against
the Scranton Traction company.
The jury retired at 80 o'clcc and
at $50 o'clock returned with the above
finding and an Affirmative answer to q
special question submitted by Judge
Mcpherson as to whether or not the
plaintiffs injuries were sustained
through the negligent.manner in which
the defendant company's employe han
died the trolley pole which broke and
fell upon Mrs. Keator.
The reserved point is a new question
of law raised by Jessup e. Jessup. at
torneys for the company. When Mrs.
Keator was injured she had transfer
in hand anu was on her way to take a
car. The trolley pole in being changed
broke in twain and one end of it fell
uron her head and shoulders inllicting
permanent injuries Tho defense con-
tended that she was not a passenger
and could not legally sue as such. The
verdict rests on Judge McPhersons de-
cisicn of this point.
When the Keator jury had retired the
case of Catherine Sweeney against the
Traction company was taken up. w.
II. McArnif, of WilkcsB Barre and T.
p. noban appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff. Jessup & Jessup represented
the defendant company,
Mrs. Sweeney was injured in august,
1893. by being run down on Lacka-
wanna avenue near the Washington
avenue intersection. She was crossing
the street in front of IIenglers bak-
cry coming from the south to the north
side. A Taylor car struck her rs she
was in the middle of the track knock
ing her down and dragging her for
some distance beneath the car. She
was injured to such an extent she
claims, that go, 900 would be small COM
perSation for her She and her wit
ncsses claim that the motorman gave
no signal by ringing the bell or any
other means.
The defense is that Mrs. Sweeney
emerged suddenly from behind COW
cred ice wagon and darted across the
track immediately in front OF the car.
There was no negligence on the COM
lany's part, il is claimed, and Mrs.
Sweeney was guilty of contributory
negligence, because the accident did
not occur at n crossing.

city 10 Animals, was the prosecutor.
Els evidence and that OF others was
to the effect that Mr. Montgomery had
left his horse hitched TO a post in
Spruce street for nearly three hours
Monday afternoon, the animal being
clipped ana covered with only a small
blanket which was constantly being
blown from its back and several times
replaced by pedestrians. They testi-
fed that the horse shlvered from cold
until taken by Patrolman Duggan to
ijcutts stables.
The testimony of Mr.. Montgomery
and others was that the weather was
mild-above freezing-on the afternoon
in question. that the horse was not
cold, that the covering was sufficient
and that the allegation of the prose-
cution that the animal was left stand
ing for nearly three hours was untrue.
Alderman Howe remarked that he
