As anticipated the verdict In tho
case of Jones against the Delaware
nnd Hudson company has been set
aside. Yesterday the following deci
sion nnd nccompanylng opinion were
received by Prothonotary Pryor from
Judge McClure, of the Unlon-Snyder-Mllllln
district, who specially presided
at the trial ot the case;
This case grew out of the same acci
dent und the testimony upon which tho
verdict was rendered was of like character
and to the same effect ns that In Hughes
against this defendant No. 7U3, September
term, 1891. On appeal Hie Supreme court
has snld In that case that the contributory
negligence of the deceased was so un
questionable that the court should have
pronounced upon It as a matter of law
and directed judgment to be entered for
the defendant on the point reserved. It
follows that a like judgment must be hore
entered:
'And now to wit Jan. !i, 1SS7, Judgment
Is entered for the defendant on the point
reserved noti obstante veredicto."
H. M. McClure, P. J., Seventeenth dis
trict, specially presiding.
In the summer of ISO,", the plaintiff
David G. Jones and Wllllnm J. Hughes
were run down by n Delaware and
Hudson passenger train at the Carbon
street crossing. Hughes was killed
and Jones badly Injured. A verdict of
$U,490,fiO was returned in favor of Mrs.
Hughes but on the appeal to the su
preme court the verdict was set aside
on the ground of contributory negli
gence. On Feb 3 last, a. verdict of
$11,750 was awarded in the Jones case
upon the condition set forth In the fol
lowing: Whether upon the whole evidence David
G. Jones wus guilty of contributory negli
gence, and the plaintiff Is not upon that
ground entitled to recover, with leave to
the court If It shall be determined that
upon this ground the Jury were not Justl
llcd In llndlug In favor of the plaintiff to
enter Judgment in fu'vur of the defendant,
The decision of the supreme court
In tho Hughes case left no other course
open to Judge McClure In the Jones
ense than that which he pursued.
Judge Edwards handed down an
opinion yesterday declaring Irregular
and Illegal the proceedings o the city
of Scranton against William Conroy
and directing a verdict for the defend
ant. The case came before him In the
shape of an appeal from the judg
ment of Alderman John Ruddy, of the
Twentieth ward. Conroy was fined $5
for driving on the sidewalk In front
of Mrs. Fan-ell's property. It was
shown liy the defense that there was
no sidewalk at the pluce Indicated and
that Irregularities existed in the meth
od of procedure before tho alderman.
In another opinion Judge Edwards
refused a new trial for Edith Walker
who sued tho city of Scranton for $25,
000 damages for Injuries alleged to
have been received by falling over nn
obstruction on the sidewalk at the
northeast corner of Lackawanna ave
nuo and Ninth street on Christmas eve,
Rs94.
A new trial was granted by Judge
Edwards in the case of Edwards &
Uarthold against Martha Prltchard.
This will mnke the third time that the
case has been tried the defendant win
ning both verdicts.

Probably half the people who seo this

tho commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have It for
years and Just because It Is not Imme

causes no end ot suffering. Curoless
ness about so simple a thing ns piles
has often caused death. Hemorrhages
occur from no nppnront cause und loss
ot blood onuses death. Hemorrhages
occur during surglcul treatment, often
causing death.
Piles arc simple In tho beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
'in tho worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, (illicitly, surely and com
pletely. There Is only one remedy that
will do It Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allays the Inflammation Imme
diately, heals the Irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling nnd puts the membranes Into
good, sopnd healthy condition. The
cure Is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unsolic
ited testimonials Wo have lately re
ceived Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly, C01 Mississippi
street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain nnd an
noyance of Piles for llftccn years, tho
Pyramid Pile Cure nnd Pyramid Pills
gave me Immediate relief and In a short
time a complete cure.
Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio, says:
I wish to add to tho number of certlilc
ntesns to the benefits derived from tho
Pyramid Pile Cure. I suffered from
piles for twenty years and two boxes

WIDOW OF JOHN R. FORDIIAM.
"Shaft No. 2" will be presented at tho
Frothlnghain this evening for a single per
formance. It Is a domestic story, Iree
from rant and rubbish, with characters
that are natural und or the people. Hut it
Is not In tho story that the great novelty
nnd strenght of this play N said to loy. Its
success has been In the conception of num
erous pretty surprises, not only lit, the
tory, but In tho scenic surroundings the
music and the mechanical ell'eets. One
feature of "Shaft No. 2" upon which the
management rely for Its popular success
Is Its marvelous electrical effects.
Some Idea of the wonderful diversity and
color of "On the .Mississippi," which will
be seen at tho Academy of Music Friday
and Saturday, may be had when It Is an
nounced that tho action Includes the In
troduction of the once famous and dreaded
Kit Klux Klan, of a Mnrdl Gras carnival
In New Orleans, a floating theater on the
Mississippi, a gilded gambling hell in the
Crescent City, and a large number of mu
sical darkeys and other entertaining
types of southern character. The story
bristles with sensational and dlversllled
events. Liveliness and color nro two of
Its distinguishing characteristics. There
Is a rapid sequence ot incidents amid
strikingly picturesque surroundings. A
company of fifty people are engaged In
tho production. Including a pickaninny
band, Tennessee Jubilee singers and re.il
leveo dancers.
Tomorrow night brings that popular
pleco of hilarity to the Frothlnghain for 11
two-night and Saturduy matinee engage
ment at popular prices. Tho piny Is one
that never loses Its capability of amusing
tho public. It has a remarkably good
theme for Its foundation, one that admits
of no end of possibilities, and new and
original features are continually being ad
ded. It has a brand new set of Ideas in
the way of music and dancing, and all the
characters are well drawn,
The next attraction at Davis' theater
will be A. Q. Sainmou's company in "SI le
Tracked." The American tramp, the
knight of tho highway and box c,nr, has
his Inning ut this house the lust three days
ot tli week. ''' 'dm has been accorded
a reguiiir ovation. He appears In a 1 oil
which appeals to tho hearts of every audi
ence, and makes eaeli spectator not only
laugh as each familiar nspect of tramp
nature Is displayed, but' arouses generous
applause when the heart of oak Is seen
beating under tho ragged jacket of the
wayfarer.
The attraction nt the Academy of Music
Monday and Tuesdny, Jan. 11 und 12, will
be "Darkest America," a new stage nro.
ductlon, tho aim of which Is to depict
negro llfo In slavery and freedom. The

ought to play the characters to perfection
as they llvo their life over In the scenes on
the stage. Singing and dancing form a
greater part of the entertainment. Sev
eral novelties will be Introduced, among
the most piomlnent of which Is a colony
of camp meeting shouters, several hoodoo
