C0RTRIGHT CASE TAKES A
SUDDEN TURN
Wayne Concrete supply and Con-
struction Co., and Pierce and
Baker Granted Motion for Nom
Suit by Court-kreitner Bros.
Case Continued To Next
Term.

The case Of c. A. Cortright & Son,
trespass, in which they claimed S3,-
000 damages from Kreitner Bros,
The Wayne Concrete supply and
Construction Co., and Pierce & Bak-
er, and which was started in the To-
cal courts here on Thursday last,
came to a sudden end on Friday
afternoon, when all the evidence of
the plaintiff being in, the attorneys
for The Wayne Concrete Supply and
Construction Co. and Pierce and
Baker made motions for compulsory
non-suit on the reason that
no evidence had been given
showing the liability of the two de-
PENDANTS in the alleged joint action.
The plaintiff was allowed to amend
statement emitting two defendants
and to proceed against Kreitner
Bros. alone. The jury, who were
out taking a lecess while this was
being argued, were called in and the
situation explained to them. Judge
S-arle told them that the case had
been withdrawn. He said in part:
This is an action brought against
three defendants alleging joint neg
ligence on the part Of all three
which resulted in the injury to this
ply and Construction Co. had no
connection with Kreitner Bros, also
Pierce & Baker had no connecti IN
with them. They were under sep
arate contract. There was no evil
dence to connect them with the 9TH
er parties in the action. There was
not Joint negligence. 1t was ruled
to strike out the two defendants and
proceed against Kreitner Bros. alone.
This case now stands stricken from
the record and the case against
Kreitner Bros. will be taken up at
some other term of court"
Nearly every one is familiar with
the facts of the case but a brief sum-
mary is given for the benefit of
those who do not. On the evening
of October 25th of last year the
building on the Cortright property
located on Main street between the
Lyric theatre on the north and Mar
tin Cautield's property on the south,
suddenly collapsed. The building
had just been finished and therefore
it had not yet been used. This ac-
tion was brought to recover damages
for the loss of the building, alleging
that the construction was faulty, the
concrete blocks to have been of in
ferior quality and that the work of
the masons was not proper. Many
witnesses, among them several ex
perts on building and construction
work, testified to the faulty construc-
tion and many to the fact that the
front wall had bulged previous to
the collapse. The testimony was too
lengthy to reproduce but it will all
be threashed out again at the next
term of court.

President Taft the Standard Bearer,
(Scranton TRUTH

President Taft's nomination, as the
Republican standard-bearer in this
years national campaign, was the
fighting climax of the remarkable
convention which terminated an eX-
citing weeks work at Chicago last
Saturday night. This gratifying re-
suit is more than a personal victory
for the distinguished candidate. 1t
is the triumph of fair play and po-
litical sanity over the sinister and
unworthy methods that were resort
ed to for the purpose of discrediting
high-minded, courageous and pa
triotic President, and depriving him
OF the recognition he had justly
earned at the hands of the American
people.
No fair-minded man could deny
that President Taft was entitled to a
denomination. His eminent services
to the nation, as the earnest and un-
hinching upholder of progress at
home and honorable peace with all
countries, deserved the cordial in
dorsement of the Republican party
and an unanimous renewal of its con-
tdence for another term.
President Taft and what he stands
for are not only representative OF
the highest aspirations of the Repub-
lican party, but they are also in ac-
cord with the orderly and progressive
spirit of the nation, along rational
and constitutional lines.
Although grieyously hindered by
those who should have been fore
most to help it, the Republican Ma
tional Convention succeeded in do
ing great weeks work for the
country. 1t relegated to the rear
the advance agents of chaos, and II
nominated candidate and adopted
a platform that deserve, and will
receive, cordial popular support in
this years important campaign.

CONCERNING TAFTS NOMINA-
TION.
The Result at Chicago.
Nav York Tribune /

The President has been renomi-
mated, after such long, bitter and de-
moralizing strife as the whole coun-
try hopes never to see repeated. Mr..
Taft deserved a denomination by
reason of the unselfish patriotism
and general excellence of his admin
istration. He deserved it especially
at this time, because he has stood
unfiinchingly for the fundamental
principles of government which are
essential to the preservation of or
dered liberty and the security of
those least able to protect them
selves. There was no one else to
whom, at the close of a passionate
contest in defense of those princi-
ples,. the party could more hopefully
turn for leadership in the difficult
campaign which is before it. Had
there been available a man on whom
the majority of the convention could
have heartily united in the confident
belief that he would be stronger at
the polls next November, the Presi-
dent would have urged that he
should be chosen.

never so great as when he is facing

POMONA MEETING AT DYBERRY.

Pleasant valley Grange entertain
ed Pomona on June Z. A splendid
session was enjoyed by those present
and a good attendance at the meet
ing for this busy season of the year.
1t is noticed that Ledgedale grange
made nice showing in the last
three months, having gained 13 new
members.
Samuel Saunders read a paper on
"Co-operation" as set forth by the
state grange and he brought out
the advantages and disadvantages of
the proposed plan. He said he
could understand how it might help
farmers situated far from good
markets but rather doubted if it
would benefit farmers in a vicinity
like ours with markets all around
our border, such as Carbondale,
Scranton. Hawley, Honesdale and
even New York and other nearby
towns and cities. The matter of CO.
operation is receiving quite a little
attention in the state grange.
A. 4. Sheard gave talk about the
Dairyman's League, giving the pur-
poses of the organization; also the
requirements. He wishes to have
local branches added to the league in
Wayne county. He is a director of
the league and anyone desiring any
information along this line can write
to him at Milanville, Pa. Several
good recitations were enjoyed that
were given by Miss Alma Noble, such
as The Old Swimin' Hole" Water

entitled Doing Your Duty; reci-
tation by Mr.. Lesher brought forth

| the piano.
The evening session was very live
ly as we'll as instructive. The lively
part was given by Mr. Jenkins and
the boys. They certainly gave us
some fine music which was enjoyed
by everyone. The lads deserve much
credit for their willingness to prac-
tice and go out together and render
such good music.
A few well chosen remarks were
! given by E. w. Ross as he welcomed

sion in giving the response. Supt.

should receive physical training as
well as mental training and thus put
him or herself in a position for right
living and to be fitted for different
occupations. He believes that If
some attention were paid to the phy-
sical training many children could
retain better teeth, see better, hear
better and enjoy health better than
they do now. Miss Noble favored us
with more recitations and readings
which were very good; l.. s. Par,

1t is to Mr.. Taft's everlasting
credit that he based his campaign for
denomination squarely and solidly
upon the cause of constitutional gov
ernment. No temptation of momen-
tary advantage has lured him toward
the border line beyond which lie po-
litical madness and national destruc-
ton. The Presidents adequate con-
ception of the great principles upon
which rest the permanency of our
institutions and the future of the
United States of America was mani

The Triumph OF right.
(New York Times.)

In the nomination of Mr.. Taft the
Constitution triumphs, our form of
Government is vindicated against
dangerous assaults, the courts, repre-
sentative institutions, the guaran-
tees of liberty and property and the
orderly administration of law are
safeguarded. President Taft's per-
sonal victory is notable and great,
but he would be the first to protest
that it should be held secondary to
the triumph of constitutional princi-
pies and a government of laws, for
that is supreme.
