PLAINTIFFS
SUIT WILL
STAND.
Important Decision Is Rendered
In Suit against EarncIIffa
Mills Running at Night.

The Appellate division of the supreme
court i'm an opinion handed down today in
the equity cause OF William l.. whipple
ct al, VS.. Walter A. Cutie. ct al. denied
respondents motion that the bin be dis
missed.
This Ia the bill brought against the run
ming OF the Earnclffe mills at Olneyvllle
at night. on the ground that the running
OF the mills at night Is = nuisance. Com
plainants own tenements and are tenants
in the neighborhood Of the mills
An answer has been filed and issues OF
fact framed for jury. A dismissal OF the
bill Was asked for. on the ground OF =
misjoinder of parties The questions rails
ed were whether there is a misjoinder Of
parties, and whether the motion 60 dis
miss can be made after answer is He'd.
Respondents claim there was "A mis-
joinder because each owner and his ten
ants in single house could have filed "a
bill and made as complete case as In a
bill by all the owners together: that the
question of nuisance as 10 one house is
independent OF the issue OF a nuisance 10
another house. and. hence, that the pres
ent bill is a consolidation OF a number Of
distinct cases.
Chief Justice Stiness, who writes the
opinion of the court, saws III this were so
there would be no doubt that the bill
should be dismissed. whether the motion
came after answer or not. because "A
court cannot try several cases IN one,
nor give separate and unrelated judg-
ments 10 different parties in single suit.
III interests are such as 10 present di-
verse issues or 10 hinder the court In en-
tering an adequate decree, OF course, tho
suit should be dismissed at any stage;
for II would be idle 10 compel parties to

But we do not think that the com

The cases relied on by the respondents
hold that even I'm case like this there

MOTION DENIED.
Jury's Verdict Was Against
Evidence In Gum Case.

The motion OF plaintiffs counsel in the
case of Thomas Gum VS.. Union Railroad
company. for a reargument of his pc
tition for new trial. has been denied by
the appellate court.
The decision OF the court for a new trial
is held TO be very clear and proper, and
not against the ruling that a new trial
cannot be granted at common law. on the
ground that the verdict is against the ev-
idence If there is any testimony 10 sus-
tain the verdict.
Gum was knocked down by car and
very severely injured He came out from
the back OF a coal cart where he had
been working and claims that he had
been standing near the defendants track

of the motorman, who had a period long
enough TO have stopped the car and avoid
the accident. jury gave Gum Ver-
diet for $40, 600 damages.
The appellate division looks at the case
that either he was standing in plain sight
as he swore or else he stepped out sud-
denly with his back to the car, and Gum
SAYS he was struck I'm the back 50 that
the accident, was inevitable, III the car
was moving ana thinks the latter phase
OF the case very plain and reargument
would be useless.
The chief Justice. who writes the opin-
ion OF the court thinks there is no rea-
sonable doubt that the Jury's verdict was
very strongly against the evidence.
