NOT COMPETENT.
Other Common Pleas Gases,

A compulsory non-suit was entered
by Judge Archibald yesterday in the
$4,000 damage case of Charles w.
Page, of Olyphant, against the New
York and Scranton Coal company.
Mr.. Page sued for the death of his
thirteen-year-old son. Vernie Page, who
was killed at the defendant company's
breaker, where he was employed, Oc-
tober rs. 1898, by being whirled about
& shaftlng. He and another boy were
playing with Il rope. The Page hoy
was swinging it about his head, lasso-
fashion. with the intention of THROWING
II at the other lad, when the rome
caught in the shafting. drew him up
against it and whirled him about.
The motion for the non-suit was
based on two reasons. First, any neg
ligence that might be imputed to the
defendant was not the proximate cause
OF death. and, second. the plaintiff in
the case must have imputed to him
the contributory negligence of the de-
cedent.
PLAINTIFFS CONTENTION. o.
The plaintiff relied principally upon
the contention that the hoy had not
reached the age where the law Implies
discretion and therefore could not be
